Kyle fractures his thumb

So 2 games before the end of Kyle's jr jazz basketball he was playing outside at home and jammed the ball into his thumb, it started swelling and turning purple so I knew something was wrong. We ended up in the instacare and then got the news that he had bruised it really good and that he had to wear a splint for a week, by the time we got home, I had a message on my voicemail that said they looked at the x rays closer of Kyle's thumb and it was in fact fractured and that he had to wear the brace for 3 weeks! I was upset but poor Kyle was devastated. He was out for the season. He still got up and went to his last 2 games to support his team. I was so proud of him. He picked himself up and dusted himself off so to speak.

I am doing it!

Well I have started yet again down the road to weight loss, but this time I am not doing it alone. I have the help of several friends, my kids and most of all my husband. I got a good deal through my work through gold's gym and the best thing is that my husband can also benefit. My husband and I now go to the gym 4 days a week! On the weekends my kids get me outside for either a jog or a walk. I have started this hard journey since I believe the end of September. They had taken my weight at the doctor's office when I hurt my knee and that was it for me! I did not like the number I was looking at. After my knee healed and i got back from hawaii I went full force which was about the beginning of November. I changed my diet and started going to the gym 3 days a week, I started seeing results and so I started going 4 days a week which is where I am now. Now for the best part of my story, I have to date lost 33 lbs and 6% of my body fat. I have gone down 4 pants sizes and my shirt size has also gotten smaller. I hope to hit the 50 mark by the second week of April. (I go to Philadelphia for work and would love to reach this goal by then but if not it's ok because my original goal was to hit that mark by July when I go to California! Tell next time which hopefully will be soon! As of 3-28-12, I have lost 50 lbs!
