Johanne's Journal, 24 Mar 11

Happy Thurdsay Johanne, great job on your first goal.. I see the new charm on your bracelet coming out of its box soon.. Have a great day...Bren  

Yes Bren. It's a little elephant. He's just waiting for me to hit that 70 lb. mark. 

Oh Jo.... Its just water weight... 65 pounds of pure water have evaporated off your body lmao righhhhhhhhhhtttttt OK.... Way to go on the almost 65 pounds too! 

Thanks Pixi. I figure I should hit 200 lbs. by the end of May. I haven't been anywhere close to 200 lbs. since 1992. I'm so excited. I'm even more excited to know I WILL be able to go under that. This has been such an awakening! 

65 lbs represents a boatload of hard work and self-discipline. Don't let the naysayers get you down. 

OH that is scary and exciting all at the same time!!!  

Good evening Johanne, hope you had a good Friday....Bren 

Oh Bren . . . my upper respiratory thing has turned into pneumonia. I've had a pneumonia shot, so this was so unexpected. I HATE being sick! I hope you've had a good Friday and have an absolutely lovely weekend. I was supposed to leave today for an event in Wichita; Coronation. I'm going to stay home instead and try to sleep this off. Love you!!! 

Oh No, I hate your sick again, bless your heart. Yeah I'd say you need to stay in and take care of that. Love you to honey. Hope you get over this nasty stuff soon....Bren 

Morning Johanne, just checking on ya. Hope your feeling better today.... Get well soon...Bren 

Oh, Johanne, I am so sorry that you are so sick....but with this weather changing back and forth, I am not surprised. Take care and I will be praying for you. On the weight front, I am so happy for you! You are doing awesome and there is not a single person that can say it is water weight. So to the naysayers, I say NEENER, NEENER, NEEEEEENER!!!!! You showed them! Congrats and big hugs my dear friend! 

Hi Johanne. hope that nasty pneumonia is leaving the building.. Have a great evening...Bren 

Steph, you are such a dear. Thanks! Bren, my head is clearing up but not my chest. I'm still using the nebulizer every four hours or I try to cough up a lung. This is going on three weeks and I'm really tired of it. I'm fighting being hospitalized, and I hope it doesn't come to that. I JUST WANT TO BE WEEEEEEEELLLLLL!!! LOL. Love you both. 

On the weight loss, AWESOME Johanne!! I also hope you get feeling better reeeeal soon. ((((hugs)))) ♥Ruby♥ 

Hope you're feeling better Johanne? 

Ruby, thank you. I seem to be on the mend, finally. It's been a really slooooooooow process this time. I guess that's one of the drawbacks of my age. {{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}} to you ans Z's. 

Way to go! Now if you stack up potato sacks in garage for every ten pounds you lost tell the nay sayers to move them for you! I bet they would break their back but you have moved them!!! Congrats. 

LOL! I bought my first pair of size 20 jeans (with a waistband) today. I was pretty thrilled. That's a LOT of potatoes lost. I only bought two pairs because I don't plan to fit them that long. Also, I bought them at a thrift store, so no major outlay. It's cool. I can buy clothes at a thrift store now! Hehe. 

Hi Johanne, I been waiting for you to write a journal so I could say hi. So I am just saying it here. Missed ya and hoping your feeling much better Wow congrats on the new size jeans. Makes ya feel good to get rid of the ones that are falling off huh? Have a good evening......Bren
