Aloha......Not

Yes, I am suppose to be on a plane headed to the sunny island of Oahu. Thanks to Delta overbooking all their flights, and an apparently large number of Spring Breakers, my flight had 1 seat with 58 non-rev (employee of the airline) passengers fighting over it. The writing was on the wall. I guess I will try again tomorrow, and then Saturday, and hope to get something. To make it worse, my husband said the Humpbacks were all around the island. I almost started crying. I am anxious to see them before they head North for the summer.

On the plus side, my medication finally seems to be kicking in (Thyroid meds). It really did take 3 weeks before I could really see the difference. For the last countless years, I have been killing myself with exercises and watching everything that went into my mouth. Some days I would eat less than 500 calories (very bad to do). But it didn't seem to matter. I couldn't lose any weight. Over the last 3 weeks I have gone down a size, my waist alone is down 2 inches, and with all those countless crunches I am actually starting to show abdominal muscle! I know this may sound trite to most, but for me it comes down to overall health and well being. High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, liver disease, obesity, and depression run in both sides of my family. I have to be on top of it, and I feel good knowing that things are finally working the way they are suppose to. Talking to my mom, knowing what she has been through the last 3 decades with no help from countless doctors and specialists, I am amazed with what she put up with. She can finally get the help she has needed for so long. My view of her has completely shifted. She is truly an amazing lady.

Other good news....
My sister just got a huge promotion at her work as well. She is now the Zone rep for her company. She will be doing a lot of travelling, which will be great for her. Congrats Ness!

Things are good, and I couldn't be happier for the people in my life. Now if I could get my butt to Hawaii!!

Side note.... After many late nights, I am getting my stations the way I want. I have a lot of shared stations, but 4 are mine. I think I was trying too hard before and then getting frustrated. So now I just sit back and listen to the music and adjust as needed.
