I am waiting for my ride to the surgery center. They are late. I thought I would give you a picture of Beka an Aaron the day they got engaged. He proposed to her after a race in Sugarland. He helped give out the awards table. Then he called her up to the table and she had no idea why since she had not run that day. In front of the entire crowd he propose to her with all their friends looking on. They both are runners and have made athletic events apart of their lives, so this was very cool. ...Sunday, April 27th 2008
I walked for an hour today so I hope this means I will sleep well tonight. Unfortunately, according to the treadmill I only used up 120 calories. Grrrrrrrr. Tomorrow I have my final manipulation under anesthesia. Then, later on in the week I will get the final nerve burn in my upper back.

I am a pro at sabotaging my own diet and therefor look forward to reading the next chapters. Already, I have used one such suggestion of changing the way I talk to myself to make a change in how I handle a temptation I face every night. It is the battle of the marshmallows. I have mentioned this before in my blog. Thes...

I started reading the Beck Diet Solution last night. I haven't been able to put the book down. It is a tough book to read a lot of pages through at one time because after a few pages I just stop and start thinking about just how in a few words she has changed my thinking process. So much of what I have learned already this past year is covered in this book. The questions I ask, the things I have said and thought. It is as if this lady has read my thoughts and written a book. Then I realized, no...
