Well, that did not happen. Two weeks ago I went in to see the results of the radiation and it showed that it spread to my liver and lungs and surgery was off the table. WTF??!!!! It was the last thing I expected to hear! So the next day I went in to see my Oncologist who said that if I chose not to do treatment (chemo) that I have 3-6 months to live! I am going to do the treatments but even with them they estimated 1 year to 1.5 years. How in the world do you mentally prepare for that!?! In all honesty, I have had a really good life and have done LOTS of wonderful things so I am at peace with that part but having an expiration date is just a weird place to be. Maybe I will beat the odds eh?<br /></p><p>I do plan on going and doing things. One thing is I am doing a photo shoot for my "After" pictures. There is a spot about 30 miles away called <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tonto/recarea/?recid=35395">Granite Reef Recreational Area</a> It is a stunning backdrop for pics. My friend did her preggo pics there and they were AMAZING! I will be posting them here for sure. I never thought I would make it here guys! It is possible for sure. If I can do it ANY ONE CAN! Plan going to Colorado to visit my bro and definitely need to go to the beach. </p><p>Well I just wanted to keep you all in the loop. ALL prayers and positive thoughts are appreciated! </p><p>Until next time<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-1893340272385365482022-08-03T15:18:00.001-07:002022-08-03T15:18:13.071-07:00NSVs: Good and Bad<p>Look at me posting again LOL! I am actually trying to keep myself distracted from thinking about my surgery. Tomorrow I go in to get a scan to see how much the tumor shrank from Radiation. It will also help my surgeon determine his plan of action. I have 3 possibly 4 doctors appts next week. Yay me huh?</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>I think the biggest NSV are clothes fitting so differently. I feel like I skipped the progression from sizes cuz I kept wearing big clothing. At my heaviest I was wearing and busting out of 26/28s and now I am XL or 1X. I definitely have body dysmorphia. I have bought a few things that were too big thinking I am really that size still. I have to check with friends to make sure things look good. The bad part about this is that I have some really nice clothes that could be altered. I did get a sewing machine to take some things in but have yet to do so. It was $85 at Walmart. I always have great intentions... follow thru not so much <br /></li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><ul><li><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3B9ZA_bSpgGvsule2xYLvU5neVZPc7fTsCsDve_m5IMArPWhafiEGJpSxZ8Fdtku6IAvy3xze1d0blioUfn1Dgh-TkMg0z-heeNM7Mogk8P4lfGURqOZfvQpQs2QzBc2ul5r3PV4xvJjwnC0snMFi9UILfzS1EQUcfy2DAC1wjYdxqNf3me6pGQYCA/s612/sewing%20machine.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="612" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR3B9ZA_bSpgGvsule2xYLvU5neVZPc7fTsCsDve_m5IMArPWhafiEGJpSxZ8Fdtku6IAvy3xze1d0blioUfn1Dgh-TkMg0z-heeNM7Mogk8P4lfGURqOZfvQpQs2QzBc2ul5r3PV4xvJjwnC0snMFi9UILfzS1EQUcfy2DAC1wjYdxqNf3me6pGQYCA/s320/sewing%20machine.webp" width="320" /></a></li></ul></div><ul><li>Weight Limits are no longer an issue which is another NSV.

I was actually pretty tired in July. I did 6 weeks of radiation 5x per week for 10 mins per day. You would think that brief amount of time would not have such a huge impact but boy howdy! That was the biggest side affect from it really.<p></p><p>My weight is holding steady. I was told to not lose anymore so I have been maintaining. Food does not appeal to me so I almost have to force myself to eat which is so different from my normal. They are things to help induce hunger so I have been doing that as well. <br /></p><p>I am scheduled for surgery on August 18th. The procedure is called a <a href="https://www.webmd.com/cancer/pancreatic-cancer/whipple-procedure">Whipple</a> It is a MAJOR surgery and the prognosis is 20-25% that I will survive the next 5 years. Sounds pretty bleak but I am choosing to think of myself as being in the survivor percentage. Prayers and positive thoughts definitely help me. </p><p>I want to do a whole other post about my loose skin soon. It is SUCH a drag!!! Pun intended! I even asked my surgeon if he was willing to remove my belly skin. He actually does know a surgeon that can so if I survive this that would be the dream. I have skin conditions that may qualify me to get it removed but we shall see.</p><p>I'll be back soon for sure! Until next time...<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-1099237583258665252022-06-23T09:23:00.001-07:002022-06-23T09:23:31.070-07:00Summer Summer Summertime<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3j_HyGmKe6azKn9Qow4U3j99yJbNNHj8qjTZJfFelODNWQfrDslN2i-7wdgdnt8gEzyb2a9nAulkR5ej-AZwuWWITdhh0PuD0kJjMZnSf1Br-j2RJ85e7FytF5BTeWDsGao26doY8r1pVckD5JlUSgAU9ViCmy2ux19J_QaGVTSiPBCWRiVPYEZ-Jfw/s275/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3j_HyGmKe6azKn9Qow4U3j99yJbNNHj8qjTZJfFelODNWQfrDslN2i-7wdgdnt8gEzyb2a9nAulkR5ej-AZwuWWITdhh0PuD0kJjMZnSf1Br-j2RJ85e7FytF5BTeWDsGao26doY8r1pVckD5JlUSgAU9ViCmy2ux19J_QaGVTSiPBCWRiVPYEZ-Jfw/s1600/images.jpg" width="275" /></a></div><br />Wow look at me posting again! Honestly I do better when I blog so I figure even if it is a short post, I can still post nonetheless. Had a fun<b> 56th </b>birthday! Had lunch with my girl Taylor and dinner was hosted by another friend who invited a few other friends. We did not do Wine and Design because they CLOSED!

I was having an issue with the latex/rubber on the other versions with the heat here in AZ so I did not wear one for a few years. It is quite spendy but I got a bonus at work so I splurged. It was $199. It did come with 6 months of membership. It even has add-ons for the band. I got a swanky one like the bracelet above for a fancy occasion if I ever attend one again LOL.</p><p>My last radiation is on July 7th. I will get a reprieve and then most likely surgery in August. It is MAJOR surgery. It is called a <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/whipple-procedure/about/pac-20385054">whipple</a>. Basically they take all your organs out, address the pancreas and then put it all back together. It is scary and I can't even think about it yet. I will have all of July to prepare so one step at a time.</p><p>Weight is steady. As I mentioned before, they told me to maintain my weight so I have been hovering around 165 to 170. The loose skin is bugging the sh*t out of me but that is whole other post.</p><p>Until next time...<br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-38112570807912564732022-06-12T12:33:00.001-07:002022-06-12T12:33:13.014-07:00Crispy Fried<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdRbq5Z5FCU1cx_KjtRxmnGJKrXp6cUavJeO-Tzohc-bMt65lNWSjtRGGLM_zSwDQYZm4ClIOnkopd20_2dFXhYENTG2C1CGBmU8yEm-_K0oUuOQQhEUWHawPxRwODjknVW6o78k7KqYfAkDnTjhV6fKMRE7sIMIMAnHmapsxh2xQ_hKmCj5HHqZCOA/s554/360_F_78534253_ch2veGuKeWzmrhScosFWnWu7FCwTzhtR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="554" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUdRbq5Z5FCU1cx_KjtRxmnGJKrXp6cUavJeO-Tzohc-bMt65lNWSjtRGGLM_zSwDQYZm4ClIOnkopd20_2dFXhYENTG2C1CGBmU8yEm-_K0oUuOQQhEUWHawPxRwODjknVW6o78k7KqYfAkDnTjhV6fKMRE7sIMIMAnHmapsxh2xQ_hKmCj5HHqZCOA/w400-h260/360_F_78534253_ch2veGuKeWzmrhScosFWnWu7FCwTzhtR.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />Well I did not expect not to post last month but here I am 😄<p></p><p>The last month has been a mixed bag. I completed 4 rounds of chemo and the numbers are trending down which is great news. I had a little break in between starting Radiation with an oral chemotherapy. Radiation is 5x per week for 6 weeks. I will be done on July 6th and then tentatively they will do surgery in August. The treatment is a t 7:10 am and is for only 10 mins but it kicks my arse and makes me <i><b>suppppper</b></i> tired. I know the best thing for my body is the rest but ugghhhh I want to do things but I guess it will still be there.</p><p>I have had a pretty good attitude about all this but I will say I have allowed myself to feel sad. My prognosis is good so that really helps and having good doctors and good support from my friends and family. I even had my Uncle Steve (bio) come for a visit which was a great distraction. Music, prayers and self-care have been crucial in going through all this.<br /></p><p>My birthday is the 21st. I will be 56! Whoa doggers! I have Radiation that day. Most likely will go to lunch with my friends but I want to go to <a href="https://www.wineanddesign.com/queencreek-az/">Wine and Design</a>.

There have been so many times that I have thought of posting but never fired up my laptop. Thank you Crystal for your last comment. At least I know one person is reading LOL!<p></p><p>So, I weigh 169 lbs. This is<b> 4 lbs away from my original goal of 165 lbs. or 150 loss</b>. It took me 12 years bu<b>t I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b></p><p>However<b>,</b> in February I went to the hospital with what I thought was kidney stones and 5 days later they determined that I have<b> Pancreatic Cancer. </b>The last 25 lbs kinda came off quickly and I was concerned but obviously happy with the move of the scale. I have been told not to lose any MORE weight. Can you IMAGINE??? I have<b> never ever, ever </b>heard anyone tell me that! What a weird thing to hear eh?? <br /></p><p>The treatment plan is that I will do at least 4 rounds of Chemotherapy and then they will reassess. I need to get a PET Scan to determine what stage it is but at this point they think it is Stage 1 or 2. I will be getting my 3rd treatment next Tuesday, April 5th. I was SUPER sick the 1st round but better this last one but I am having side effects like neuropathy which is nerve damage in my hands and feet. I am also super tired ALL the time. Next step would be surgery. I am off of work for the next few months at a bare minimum<br /></p><p>For my long time readers, they know about my adoption story but it was just recently that I found out that all the biological people have had Cancer so I was basically doomed from the get...</p><p>I have the fortunate of having a great support system here. People have offered to help and I just need to get over myself and let people help. I don't think any really likes asking for help but I know how good it feels to helps someone and I really need it.</p><p>That is about all for now. I do want to chronicle this journey like I did my weight loss so I hope to at least do a weekly post. Hope you all are doing okay!</p><p>Until next time...<br /></p><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-84343377868369446652021-10-28T16:21:00.005-07:002021-10-28T16:46:57.895-07:00Katie Be Crusin<div class="separator"><p style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Cruising California Topless - Christoph Heuermann" class="n3VNCb" data-noaft="1" height="245" src="https://christoph.today/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screenshot-2018-05-01-at-08.30.41-630x315.png" style="height: 292.5px; margin: 0px; width: 585px;" width="489" /> </p></div><p>Hey Hey!

It has been since March since I posted. At least it is within the year! LOL! What a difference the last six months have made in my life my friends!<p></p><p>First, I started a new job in March. I am a CSR for a Mortgage Company. It is a new industry for me and I have learned SO much! It is a lot to remember. I am doing really well in my position and recently <span style="font-size: small;">got the nicest compliment from my boss. He said:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Katie does an amazing job day in and day out. Not only providing excellent customer service to our members but also providing amazing cheerleader qualities to our MRC family.</i></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Katie comes up with helpful guides or information emails/chats to help her team anytime an opportunity arises. She always cheers on her teammates and comes to work with a positive attitude and happy to help in any way she can. </i></span></span></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Thank you Katie for always going the extra mile!</i></span></span></b></span><br /> </p><p>That is the nicest thing a boss has ever said about me! It really is fun for me to find new processes or help my coworkers.</p><p>Second, as I posted back in March, I am still in <b>Onderland.</b> I am at 195 which is <b>120 lbs</b> you guys! I never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get her again. It has been over 30 years since being in the 100s and I NEVER want to go back to 2s.</p><p>Now that I have lost that amount weight, I am actually considering getting skin removal surgery. It was always on the horizon and a dream but never thought it would become a reality. My hairdresser referred me to her surgeon and one of her clients actually got it done AND her insurance covered it due to the fact that she had some skin issues which I have too like HS and yeast infections. I have hidden in the shadows about the yeast infections but I have talked about my HS here before.I would be amazed and thankful if insurance covers it! Wouldn't that be something!</p><p>That is it for now. I will definitely be back to chronicle the approval process for surgery.</p><p>Until next time,</p><p><i>Katie J</i><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i> </i><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-40516257905603900942021-03-03T16:07:00.001-07:002022-04-01T10:57:28.665-07:00Onderland!!!<div class="separator"><p style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Welcome to Onederland!

width="320" /></p><p> </p><p>I never thought I would make it to Onderland!!! As of this morning I am 197! Started at 315 so a total of 118 lbs. Wow! Just wow! My ultimate goal would be to get down to 150ish. Achievable for sure. I did post it on FB so it will be interesting to see if non-blogger folks will know what it means. A dude from high school laughed but I don't think he knows what it means.<br /></p><p>My biggest issue now is the loose skin. I have some issues with it chafing and my <a href="https://www.nobsabouths.com/what-is-hidradenitis-suppurativa">HS</a> so it has created another issue.</p><p>I do start a new job on March 15th! I am soooooo excited. It is for a large mortgage company. Full time and Full Benefits including Dental and Vision. I need new glasses like there is no tomorrow. Sophie got a hold of my prescription glasses and I have been using readers since and it sucks. I have not worked full time since California so it is going to be a big adjustment but it is ALL GOOD!</p><p>Once the dust settles a bit with my new job I would like to consult with a doc about skin removal. I did call one of the local offices but never heard back and kind of left it at that. Curious to know costs, what goal weight would be to get it, what is the down time etc. I will certainly let you know when I do meet with a doc.</p><p>That's about all I can think of... Hope you are doing well! Until next time...</p><p><br /></p></div>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-44213235484601542322021-02-03T11:35:00.000-07:002021-02-03T11:35:26.970-07:00Cha Cha Cha Changes<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2pWlcATSTqxY-L1UZbCuMBjiXvDJBiKswGCQMPrlzAabXD65JezbB07SY0H1Tnt6_056zOJPo8DIMLp7q_KV9S8GOsL0AJDeGXMjd0yoZZafw3yEcYTOebF4-n-8UGFHobsQK39uGku3E/s600/changes-ahead.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="600" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2pWlcATSTqxY-L1UZbCuMBjiXvDJBiKswGCQMPrlzAabXD65JezbB07SY0H1Tnt6_056zOJPo8DIMLp7q_KV9S8GOsL0AJDeGXMjd0yoZZafw3yEcYTOebF4-n-8UGFHobsQK39uGku3E/w320-h219/changes-ahead.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Hey hey! Hope you are doing okay! I wonder if anyone is still reading my blog. Stats show that they do but I still wonder. It definitely isn't like the old days.<p></p><p>I just got fired from my job. It was over reading scripted words and I omitted the crucial ones when I paraphrased. It did not come out of the blue but still a throat punch. I have been working from home since last March so it has been nice in that respect. <b>I am good at what I do</b>... I guess I am just not built to be a robot. Still in a bit of shock but I already applied for unemployment and will update my resume once I have a little more coffee.</p><p>Weight is teetering around 207. Haven't been focusing much on my weight but I have really made an effort to eat more fruits and vegetables in my diet. Eating at home more then I ever have before.

Whoa! Even though we are 11 days into 2021 it is still weird to type that!!! This is the year I officially become a Senior Citizen! I will be 55 years old in June and it will make me eligible for Senior Discounts in MANY places. While I don't relish the fact that I will be 55, I am more then happy to take advantage of ANY discounts that me new age will afford me! Some places it is 65 but I will take it where I can get it.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I recently have been working on a budget. I have a dear friend helping. I actually am doing okay with it. It does take some conditioning and planning but things are going much smoother now. I actually have some savings now which I really did not have before. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Nothing too exciting to report otherwise. Weight is holding steady. I have been feeling a little <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day_(film)">Groundhog Day</a>. </i>I need to go and do something to shake the monotony. Maybe I will take a road trip.

I hope you are doing okay. Can't quite believe that it is the holidays already! Where did the time go??? I am kinda bahumbug anyways but this year seems extra dismal with the pandemic. Since the kids are around, I may put up a few decorations for them. Isn't that what it's really all about? Seeing it through the eyes of children and celebrating the birth of Jesus.<p></p><p>Weight is holding steady. I am so close to Onderland I can taste it! I had talked about getting a CGM but my insurance would not cover it. I have been trying to test but it SUCKS! I tried a new medication, Metformin. It gave me horrible constipation. The lady I am working with said that should not happen. Well it did, Rose! She wants me to increase the dose and see what happens. I am willing to try but it was seriously painful and I have never had a problem like that before so we will see.</p><p>The bark park bully is actually being nice to me. She paid for Sophie to be groomed which is $60. She got caught talking about me and got called out on it. This is the first time she has actually apologized to me and we have had multiple issues. I hope this is the end of the crap. It is horrible knowing they know stuff that is so personal but I can't dwell on it.</p><p>Until next time...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkhz9NhsSeiKrW9h40WN8fV1BTEP5neAStQsfL2NwOoUxQpSecnkgz9pncNYZh9ZM3rmNqWtF3Q6Gz6B8RSQuU-tXEJeToU4ba5o5Yz4KJMQPpMpqlN3x6Jh3E5GGFvzmMvIRsXrpsEBQ/s91/katie+j.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFkhz9NhsSeiKrW9h40WN8fV1BTEP5neAStQsfL2NwOoUxQpSecnkgz9pncNYZh9ZM3rmNqWtF3Q6Gz6B8RSQuU-tXEJeToU4ba5o5Yz4KJMQPpMpqlN3x6Jh3E5GGFvzmMvIRsXrpsEBQ/s0/katie+j.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-79628335226763199042020-11-05T10:13:00.000-07:002020-11-05T10:13:11.929-07:00I See Onderland<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdpsxcuOfKCdIu79ZkcgTNy4bFEdp0BiDhyi60tRmoii8YVzdpsiMaOrh5UxSQDfNSbaAboluq5EVQkHapr3o1nHSISdLs6tRvuFgFHaaRD-WnUDGvapMAH5JhGl3cSD8Z9KG9QjASAf0/s1300/115183581-a-young-woman-looking-into-the-binoculars-and-noticing-something.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1300" data-original-width="859" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJdpsxcuOfKCdIu79ZkcgTNy4bFEdp0BiDhyi60tRmoii8YVzdpsiMaOrh5UxSQDfNSbaAboluq5EVQkHapr3o1nHSISdLs6tRvuFgFHaaRD-WnUDGvapMAH5JhGl3cSD8Z9KG9QjASAf0/w132-h200/115183581-a-young-woman-looking-into-the-binoculars-and-noticing-something.jpg" width="132" /></a></div><br />Hello ladies and gents! Hope you are all hanging in there! It has been a crazy week hasn't it! It's the 5th and we still don't know who won. <br /><p></p><p>I am at 203! OMG I can taste Onderland no pun intended! So close! I have been making an effort to eat healthier including more fruits and veggies. I wish I could eat other fruits but I am allergic to citric acids so it rules out a TON of fruits. The one thing I will suffer the consequences for is tomatoes! I love tomatoes and would eat them every day if I could. I still eat them but definitely have to watch how much because otherwise I get sores in my mouth and an upset tummy.</p><p>Starting a new medication for my Type 2 Diabetes. It is Metformin which I tried when I was first diagnosed but I had horrible side affects. Since it has been SO long since I did try it, hopefully I can tolerate it and my HbA1c will go down. I also need to check my blood sugars. I have never been consistent with it. The good news is that there are other spots you can use like your forearm or leg. I am sure <b>no one</b> wants to do it but I have <b>never</b> been good about it. I go back in December to see where I am at. <br /></p><p>That is about it for now...

Hope you are doing okay! I am hanging in there...<b> 206</b> as of yesterday! Uggghhhh so close to Onderland! It has been over 25 years or so since I was under 200. I do recall getting a "Screw This" attitude after the 200 lb. threshold. I should have fought tooth and nail to halt and turn around but here we are...<p></p><p>I met up with a friend and her hubs last night. They are no <b>BS</b> kind of people which I can truly appreciate. You always know exactly where you stand with them. I have been facing some issues and was sharing with them and they helped put things into perspective.

Look at me posting regularly! Today I am at 209. I was belly aching the other day so I think that helped.<p></p><p>I have a dilemma. I have mentioned a few times about the <b>B****</b> that has it out for me at the dog park. I've had a respite from her since she has been out of state but she will be returning Thursday next week. The other day one of my friends happened to mention to her that there is a new dog at the park and I will pet sitting for his mom's. (Side note: They are from California where I used to live!) When my friend told her about the dog and that I was sitting, she said "Do they know she smokes?" <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Not cigs btw</span> My friend said "Why would that matter?" Then the B**** said "I wouldn't want to watch a puppy anyways." My reaction is <b>who asked you</b> and<b> why do you care</b>? It has<b> NOTHING</b> to do with her. They only good news about it is that my friend is finally realizing what a B she is. </p><p>I have tried my best to ignore her, really! She is not going to go away... I have to learn how to deal. I am not going to stop going. I have been there almost daily for 5 years. I am a good person and people enjoy my company. I don't have to defend myself to her or anyone. I just need to <b>Rise Above!</b><br /></p><p>Until next time... <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkGdzr2TOrjUPdPVUOHYpGf6w6eW73nhHrta6yStFVwqyDjjWncJe9CKO89g298k7WZqnhCa-v40RzdWpUUWEYLz7yJBSBVJIVGXRPcfmaqcK3My8PfyeH53jpoG1nSBL3iH8GDeAsFAuc/s91/katie+j.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkGdzr2TOrjUPdPVUOHYpGf6w6eW73nhHrta6yStFVwqyDjjWncJe9CKO89g298k7WZqnhCa-v40RzdWpUUWEYLz7yJBSBVJIVGXRPcfmaqcK3My8PfyeH53jpoG1nSBL3iH8GDeAsFAuc/s0/katie+j.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-59111462091709628402020-09-21T14:45:00.001-07:002020-09-21T14:45:31.109-07:00Numbers, Numbers, Numbers<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxJPCYlgCOgYu2DbD__uxmSMePiMasfcTAQNy7G8kProO0F3qzHaFlBG6fIfEETVCQtHtcSpQWKiow_2Cjw7-HwOK0NSZIr0LtuB8TYPzqED2bDgAZnA-ei5lT9bWlPsBujmXdsDCKZ-V/s298/numbers.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="169" data-original-width="298" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxJPCYlgCOgYu2DbD__uxmSMePiMasfcTAQNy7G8kProO0F3qzHaFlBG6fIfEETVCQtHtcSpQWKiow_2Cjw7-HwOK0NSZIr0LtuB8TYPzqED2bDgAZnA-ei5lT9bWlPsBujmXdsDCKZ-V/w200-h113/numbers.png" width="200" /></a></div><br />Hi y'all! So I got on the scale this morning. 211. Down a little. Being so close to Onderland is exciting! I just need to break through this plateau!<p></p><p>I recently had my blood work done. My sugars (HBA1C) is 11.9 which is lower then last time but still <b>WAY</b> out of normal. My cholesterol is in normal range with medication which is good news. Still using my <a href="https://katiejweightlossjourney.blogspot.com/2010/04/obesity-health-risk-sleep-apnea.html">CPAP</a> machine like a champ. It is <b>SO</b> helpful but the strap marks give me grief. Since I am working at home it is not such a big deal but annoying nonetheless. </p><p>I am still working on purging my stuff/going through my folks stuff.

I knew it was going to be an emotional process but boy howdy! Take for example, one of the boxes was all medical records from my mom. Basically it was going down medical memory lane but not in a good way. From her breast cancer, open heart surgery, osteoporosis and Dementia. You'd think it would be easy to go through but it was just a huge reminder of all the sh** she went through. Slowly but surely I am chipping away at the stack of boxes. Like the saying says, you can eat an elephant; one bite at a time. <span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="hgKElc"></span></span><p></p><p>The thing I have found is I need to<b> feel to heal.</b> If I keep ignoring things, it doesn't magically go away and often times gets worse! I think that is the case emotionally and physically too. I believe that one of the major reasons for my weight gain was emotional issues I had not dealt with. There were other contributing factors like PCOS and genetics but emotional eating was right up there. I think it was one of the <b>KEYS</b> to help me start losing.</p><p>That is about it for now. Hope you all are well...</p><p>Until next time...<br /></p><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-33398769046373115742020-09-14T12:46:00.001-07:002020-09-14T12:46:17.462-07:00Merging my Worlds<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZnY3FOEQoJg1SYwurdOST6LAhA4_R07g_QmsMfkMM2_BqiQGX2iIYVQdLNuohMnRevvQf1nEUp8LOjDtq1J4bsJY64a99J8MSRqFMUEYTamEvWh6g9zbnSLDHPWZIp-FyNM18a9FmXV4/s612/earth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="612" data-original-width="510" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQZnY3FOEQoJg1SYwurdOST6LAhA4_R07g_QmsMfkMM2_BqiQGX2iIYVQdLNuohMnRevvQf1nEUp8LOjDtq1J4bsJY64a99J8MSRqFMUEYTamEvWh6g9zbnSLDHPWZIp-FyNM18a9FmXV4/w167-h200/earth.jpg" width="167" /></a></div>The other day I posted a picture of myself on Facebook from 10 years ago from the weekend that I met my <a href="https://katiejweightlossjourney.blogspot.com/2010/07/flabbergasted-friday.html">bio peeps</a> compared to now.

It is still <b>WAY</b> too <b>HIG</b>H but it is lower then last time. A tiny step in the right direction. I have been working with my doctors office to try to get a CGM so I don't have to prick my fingers daily. I am learning all sorts of things about these monitors <br /></p><p>What is A CGM you ask? <i>A continuous glucose monitoring system, or <a href="https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/what-is-continuous-glucose-monitor-and-choosing-one#What-is-continuous-glucose-monitoring-(CGM)?" target="_blank">CGM</a> for short, is a
compact medical system that continuously monitors your blood sugar
levels in more or less real time (there’s normally a five-minute
interval between readings).</i></p><p><i><i></i>To use a CGM, you insert a small
sensor onto your abdomen that includes a tiny cannula that penetrates
the skin. An adhesive patch holds the sensor in place, allowing it to
take glucose readings in interstitial fluid (the fluid that surrounds
cells in the body) throughout the day and night. Generally, the sensors
have to be replaced every 10 to 14 days.</i></p><p><i><br />A small, reusable
transmitter connected to the sensor allows the system to send real-time
readings wirelessly to a monitor device that displays your blood glucose
data. Some systems come with a dedicated monitor, and some now display
the information via a smartphone app, so you don’t even need to carry an
extra device around with you. </i></p><i>Aside from the constant stream of
data, most CGMs can send alerts telling you when your blood sugar levels
are rising too high or dropping too low. You can also set the alert
parameters and customize how you’re notified. </i><p><i>It’s not an understatement to say
that CGMs have revolutionized diabetes care. Unlike a traditional
fingerstick blood glucose meter (BGM), which provides just a single
glucose reading, CGM systems provide continuous, dynamic glucose
information every five minutes. That equates to roughly 288 readings in a
day.</i></p><p>I will keep you posted as to when I get it and how well it works.</p><p>Until next time...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCLHoVMC4suJLusi7Qol12JWqql734hV-VWjiRkEXkWXDbqEp09CaCEWRu5WsvCDzPjyhW_VmtDq8W7ojQYq0_M-cu6GVEOc3d6mfCJBBIUJujgkouxuMGDuc6-mClx9VqZvEsgvwhqdP/s91/katie+j.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="66" data-original-width="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCLHoVMC4suJLusi7Qol12JWqql734hV-VWjiRkEXkWXDbqEp09CaCEWRu5WsvCDzPjyhW_VmtDq8W7ojQYq0_M-cu6GVEOc3d6mfCJBBIUJujgkouxuMGDuc6-mClx9VqZvEsgvwhqdP/s0/katie+j.png" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Katie J ♥http://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-46856823598408833952020-09-01T15:37:00.001-07:002020-09-02T15:04:12.286-07:00Will You or Won't You?<p>So I had this whole post done and it did not save! Grrrrrrr!!!</p><p>Weight is holding steady... Blecccccchhhh!</p><p>My blood sugars are not good. My <a href="https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/guide/glycated-hemoglobin-test-hba1c">HbA1C</a> is 12. Double what it should be. It sucks. I met with a PharmD who is trying to get me back on track. I need to be tested to see what my current stats are. I am really bad at testing. I would rather poke my belly then prick my fingers. I need to get a F***ing grip!<br /></p><p>Since I am getting older **cough cough** I need to get my ducks in a row. I did not have the assets I had before so it is a whole different ball game. No one wants to deal with Wills/Trusts but it is such an <b>IMPORTANT</b> thing to do for those left behind. I have witnessed what deaths can do to the survivors when it comes to money. My brother and I were lucky that everything was very well spelled out so there was no questions. I also have to do an <a href="https://www.lawdepot.com/us/estate/living-will-medical-power-of-attorney/#.X1AV9ot7nIU">Advanced Directive</a> which will let everyone know about my final wishes and end of life decisions.
