Introduction Text I had hip replacement surgery on May 28, 2013. It is more important now than ever that I get the weight off and this time keep it off. I'm tired of my life time of roller coaster weights....let me off at a normal BMI of 173 please. 2/6/15: Officially in maintenance. Final goal of 175! 6/13/15: Recovering at home from second THR. 5/27/17: Here I go again! I let the stress of another school year get to me. Back over 200. :( Time to take charge! 2/18/18: Having my second radio frequency ablation back procedure to help with lower back pain. 2/18/19: time for my annual back ablation procedure. Bring on the relief. 2/17/2020: back ablation again, left side today and right on March 16. Now neck issues. Does arthritis ever take a break?

Start: 5/29/09 at 227 restart: 2/14/2021 at 215 To reach and maintain a healthy BMI weight at 175.

track and stay in calorie range Cardio and weights most days

Mom to two daughters, 30 and 29 and grandma to a 11 year old, 2 year old and a 8 month old. Being grandma is so much fun!! Over 45 years later, I recently reconnected with my first kiss boyfriend. Now he will also be my last kiss because we are engaged. Life is good! After 22 years of teaching, I am going to retire early. The emotions, physical and time demands are not manageable. Things have got to change or we will continue to lose great teachers. So sad. I am 5'10" so that helps to spread it out!!! I teach elementary students with special needs. It is challenging but rewarding. The 10-12 hour school days wear on me. I use that as an excuse to not go to the gym and go through the drive thru instead of cooking and eating right. I am retiring in June so will have time to focus on ME!! .

I have had both hips replaced due to AVN and arthritis. Lower lumbar and neck arthritis are my latest challenges.
