Busy Times and Major LIfe Changes

Wow... I can't believe how long it has been since I've posted here.  So many things are taking place in my life right now... it's unreal.  For starters, I've been working overtime at my job for almost a month now.  We lost a person and the work load increased, so it's 50 hour work weeks for me until we get a replacement hired and trained.  It's hard, but I know that I will like seeing the extra $$ in my account!  There is also someone at work that drives me absolutely batty.  I've been letting this person get me angry and frustrated for a while now.  However, today I've decided to just be the change I want to see.  I have resolved to not get sucked into the drama, be as nice as I can be, and then drink as much as I can on the weekends!  LOL  <<JK>>

My daughter left two weeks ago to live with her dad in West Texas, (several hours away).  I missed her like crazy and cried, of course, after she left.  It's been hard, but she is happy and that is all that matters.  I do have to say that she kept in touch a lot better than I thought she would.  The highlight of my day is when I get a text or FB post from her.  She is here now to visit for a week before starting school.  I love her so much, but I do not think she realizes just how much.  They say that children do not really know or appreciate their parents love and sacrifices until they have children of their own... I guess that is true.  I have plans to just spend some mother/daughter time with her while she is here.  I just want us to have fun.

Okay, so I've been posting how I need to lose some major weight and all....  I've been trying for a couple of years now, but have only lost about 29 lbs.  Therefore, I decided to try something new!  Today is my first day on the Sensa plan.  Yep, that's right... Sensa.  I realized not too long ago that the trouble I have with losing weight is that my brain just doesn't tell me when I'm full.  I believe that I've been overeating for so many years that I've deactivated that "sensor" in my brain that sends the signal to my tummy that I'm full.  So I began looking for something that would help me to feel full faster and suppress my appetite in between meals.  I began searching and then remembered seeing a Facebook Post from one of my cousins stating that she was trying the Sensa program and was doing very well with it.  So I decided, "what the heck," nothing else has worked.  Also, I really need to get this weight off, so this is my last ditch effort before considering weight loss surgery.  I really do not want to have surgery, but I'm desperate.  I'm praying that Sensa will help me and I will continue to track my progress here as well as the Sensa site.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out, once I ordered the Sensa, that there is a huge Sensa Community with lots of support.  It is very private and only for those on the Sensa program.  I love it... so far I can see that it has worked for many many people.  I hope to be one of the many it does work for.  I will post all about my Sensa Journey here with brutal honesty.  I need to lose 98.1 lbs.  I currently weight 231.8 lbs. and my goal weight is 140 lbs.  Pray for me as I will need all the strength I can get.  

On the business side, I have a few photo shoots coming up for a lady at work.  I will be doing a series of photo shoots with her uber cute little boy over the next few months. 

Well, I think I've written enough for today.... I'll give your eyes a break now...lol
