I finally got back to the gym, today! Yeah!! I've been out for a week, except for 1 hour a few days ago. But that's it! I hate it !! When I don't go to the gym for a few days, or even one day, I go crazy! It's like an addiction. It's also because I gain "water weight" so quickly! It only takes a day or maybe two to get it off, but in the meantime I feel like a blimp! LOL. And beware of the full moon, lately. I'm sure I'll have other things to worry about, soon. If you know what I mean. Well, I went to kick boxing, tonight. I hadn't planned to, but Rita  came into the locker room (I didn't even know she was at the gym), and made me jump out of my skin, because it was so quiet in the locker room! She talked me into joining the class with them. As much as I really didn't feel like it, I knew I had to lose as much weight as possible before the reduction, so I forced myself. It turned out to be fun, after all. There was a new girl in the class and it was fun having someone who hadn't ever done kickboxing before. I didn't feel so bad for being the amateur in the class.  Although, Rita and Barbie keep telling me I am getting so good. Which is nice. They say I have real power in my legs... Cool! Anyway. She was really nice. I think she plans on coming back. Rita was really excited about hearing whether I had gotten a response from the Ins. Comp., yet. I hated to have to tell her no! She told me to have patience, though. That it would be soon, and don't worry about it. Well, I've rambled enough(!), but before I go. I ran into some more "Personal Experience" pages the other night. I'm going to add their links to my link page.

Well, until next time....

I got to see Rita's boobs! LOL :0) I went to kickboxing, today. After class, I asked Rita a few questions I had been wondering about the reduction, and she offered to show me the "brassieur" or "brallete" that she uses. She also offered to show me her boobs! I'm sorry, this is funny to me! Anyway. They were beautiful! She is healing so nicely, and now I'm glad that I went with Dr.L. because I know he will do a wonderful job. That's about it. Oh, by the way...I had gained some weight because I had been pigging out from the stress of waiting on the insurance response, (I know, don't you just love "comfort food") and had gone from around 145 to 152. AAAH! I knew that if insurance approved I may have very little time to get more fit, so I started really hitting it hard at kickboxing. Well, I'm on my way to losing it, again. I am now 149-150lbs, and going down. Thank goodness. Thought you might want to know. Later!

It's almost time to call for an update on my insurance! Yeah! I can call as early as Monday (Today is Friday). Yippee! I'm excited. I hope, I hope, I hope that they have seen and already approved my surgery by then. Pray for me, if you read this! Thanks! This will be a looooong weekend. :0) B-bye.

Well, I called my PS first, today. The lady I spoke to told me the usual. That it usually takes 2 weeks to get into their hands and an additional week for response. Since I was at the two week marker, it would be another week 'til I get a response. Arg!! Well, after that I called my Ins. Comp. to see if they had gotten it, yet. They said that they had my name in the computer, but no updates on my progress. I think that means my Insurance info is under review. Yippee! Other than that. No new news. I'll keep posting.

Update: The lady at my PS office called me back, later today. She said she called my insurance company and that my info IS under review! Only problem is they need my 'rents to call in and update some of our information in order to make the final decision. What?! I don't know what that's about, but I'll have my mom call, today. Later!
