ANOTHER EARLY MORNING WORKOUT BEFORE ANOTHER DOCTOR APPOINTMENT.



ANOTHER EARLY MORNING FOR ME AS I HAVE SEVERAL ERRANDS TO GET DONE BY THE END OF THE DAY.  ANOTHER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT AT THE "BETHEL FAMILY CLINIC" TO GET MY REFERRAL FOR MY "SLEEP APNEA" TEST.  I ALSO HAVE QUITE A BIT OF LEFT OVER SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND SCHOOL SNACKS TO GIVE TO KAHEALANI'S M.E. CLASS AS KAHEALANI WANTED IT THAT WAY.  THE WEATHER LOOKS PRETTY DAMP AND CLOUDY TODAY AS I WAS HOPING TO GET SOME ORGANIZING DONE, SO I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK.

COOKING "CHICKEN SPAGHETTI ' WITH HAWAIIAN SWEAT BREAD!!!

TODAY MY GOOD FRIENDS, SARAH & ISIAH HELPED ME DO A LITTLE ORGANIZING AS I NEEDED TO GET RID OF OR GIVE AWAY ALOT OF STUFF I DON'T NEED.  I WASN'T LONG BEFORE WE WERE DONE AND I DECIDED TO COOK LUNCH FOR THEM.

I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THE FOOD TURNED OUT AND IT WAS "ONOLICIOUS" AND I WILL LABEL IT AS ANOTHER FAVORITE.  AND BETTER YET, IT WAS ALL IN GOOD STANDINGS.

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

WHAT AN AWESOME MONDAY THIS HAS BEEN FOR ME!!!  AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, YOU PRETTY MUCH HAVE BEEN AWARE OF MY RECENT CHANGES THAT I'VE MADE IN MY LIFE, MOST IMPORTANTLY, MY HEALTH AND ESPECIALLY MY WEIGHT.  AS I'VE BEEN WARNED BY MY DOCTOR, IF I DON'T START TAKING CARE OF MYSELF, I'M IN DEEP TROUBLE.  AT FIRST WHEN I WAS TOLD THIS, I GOT VERY UPSET AND WENT INTO DEPRESSION AND DENIAL BUT WITHIN DAYS I BEGAN TO MISS MY DAUGHTER, KAHEALANI WHO RECENTLY MOVED TO HILO, HAWAI'I TO GO TO SCHOOL.  IT WAS THEN I REALIZED AND SAID TO MYSELF, 

"MY DAUGHTER WOULD BE BROKEN AND LOST SHOULD I EVER LEAVE HER ALONE DUE TO MY POOR HEALTH CONDITIONS".

SO NOW IT BEGINS, WITH PASSION AND DETERMINATION,

"MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE"

LOST ANOTHER 3LBS THIS WEEK AND IT'S FINALLY SUNNY OUT IN BETHEL, ALASKA!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

ANOTHER GOOD WEEK FOR ME AS I CONTINUE TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT!!!  I AM VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY TO BE BACK IN THE "ZONE" AND IT AIN'T STOPPING AT ALL.  ANOTHER GOOD NOTE IS THE SUN HAS FINALLY COME OUT AND WARM UP BETHEL, ALASKA FOR A LITTLE BIT WHICH IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

COMING UP NEXT WEEK IS MY "CHECK UP" APPOINTMENT FOR MY DIABETES WHICH I AM VERY POSITIVE THAT I DON'T HAVE AS I FEEL IT IS MORE OF A WEIGHT ISSUE THAN A SUGAR ISSUE.  BUT WE'LL SEE IN A FEW DAYS.  ANOTHER IMPORTANT ISSUE IS MY "SLEEP APNEA" CONCERN.  I'M SEEKING A REFERRAL TO GET TESTED AT A SLEEP CLINIC IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

SO LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I HAVE A VERY BUSY SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK WITH ALOT OF BUTTERFLIES.  BUT THEN AGAIN, I AM HAPPY TO KNOW "I AM" GOING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION IN "MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE".

LOST ANOTHER 5 LBS!!! ALL TOGETHER 14 LBS IN 2 WEEKS!!! AWWWRITE!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I RECEIVED NEWS FROM KAHEALANI'S MOM THAT KAHEALANI IS DOING VERY WELL IN SCHOOL.  ACCORDING TO KAHEALANI'S TEACHER, SHE SHOWS GREAT STRENGTHS IN ALL AREAS OF HER WORKS HOWEVER AS USUAL, SHE CAN BE A "CHATTERBOX" AND GET "OFF-TASKS" EVERY NOW AND THEN.

ALL I CAN SAY IS I'M VERY HAPPY TO HEAR THAT SHE IS DOING AWESOME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HER SOMETIMES EARLY NEXT YEAR.

ON ANOTHER SUBJECT, MY EXERCSING AND CALORIE COUNTING IS DOING VERY WELL.  MY APETITE HAS CHANGED VERY DRASTIC TO WHERE I'M HARDLY HUNGRY UNLESS I GET TOO BORED.

THE WEATHER UP HERE IS GETTING COLDER BY THE DAY AND IT STILL RAINS LIKE CRAZY!!!
