WICKED A fridged night!!!

OK so kids while i work on getting an update on the past month im gonna focus on right now ...
Well Utah had a BIG snow on monday.. and I was being a good auntie Mary and was taking the girls snowuits to school and i crashed and burned in the snow and KILLED my right knee.. like sowllen.. no break but really bad owie!! So they put my in an imobilization thinggy so i cant bend my leg at ALL...
So i thought I was fine and I was waiting in line for wicked (#18 in line I might add of THOUSANDS)... and I was having fun singing dancing even my knee just felt better and so I did something stupid and crashed to the ground... Onto this poor guy sleeping I felt really bad but he was so sweet about it :)
any hoo... most of the news stations interviewed me cause lets admit it kids I AM the biggest wicked fan in Utah!! soo anyhoo here are some of the interviews.. im trying to track them all down to get them all.. but heres some of them...
I will add YES im aware my voice sounds like crap and i look like crap ran over eaten and thrown up cause it was 3 AM!!! (I might add right before I biffed it and rolled my ankle!!!).. but strong as i am I STAYED with the severely sprained ankle, unknowing if it was broken or not. to make sure I got my butt GRAND TEAR SEATS to every sunday night show!!! YEahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I did darn it!!!!

Just something to point out in one of the videos im like leaning in the table wher eI ordered the tickets and I have a funny look on my face its cause my ankle was basically KILLING me at that point cause it was 4 hours after the impact!!!

Have fun watching remember to comment guys :P even if its telling me Im a total dork!!

Gastric- VS- lapband... My decision

My knee has gotten so bad that I could not walk for 3 days!! so I gimped myself to the Dr's office, and he basically said I over worked my knee out of nowhere, and again the fat me got mentioned.. "loose weight loose weight blah blah blah" I was like Umm duhh dip$hit that"s why im working out to get the weight off!!!

So anyhoo...

we discussed the fact that i need to get the weight off.. SOONER than later..
we agree'd i was doing a great job getting myself started, but my body doesn't know how to understand the sudden exercise and such with such a great weight on the joints. I now have had problems with BOTH knees, and my ankle, my back is suffering, and Its jut not getting better.
So along with my doctor, we agree'd that instead of lap band I will be getting gastric... because health wise i need to get this weight off FASTER than what Lap band will do. and faster than exercise will do.. (even though I will remain working out, my weight is just TOO much for my body to handle just working out with my joints) ...
I know it sounds like a failure.. and a cop out.. but seriously its not...
I went to the Utah weight loss center a few weeks ago to discuss the options,, because I HAVE worked hard, and have seen NO RESULTS... reason.. I fully admit, I am am emotional eater, and my stomach has been so stretched out that I don't even know what full feels like anymore, and to get to feel that feeling again, will really aid in helping me loose the weight!! and curb this over eating/ emotional eating!!

As part of the surgery I do have to maintain workouts and go to a support group once a week, so I am surely not going to be in total left field!!

I hope that you are all supportive of my decision, this however does NOT mean Im dropping exercise all together. I am not...
Unfortunately because of the knee I have been limited to doing my stairs (i live on the 3rd floor) and water exercise, so I have located the Golds Gyms that have pools and plan to go 3 times a week.

OK so new game plan...
but Im still going strong Kids!!

Save Tracey Aviery and Hogle zoo projects!!

Hey guys and gals :)
First I am so mad at myself for not working on Kyra's dress... i gotta move my tail to get it done...
Poor Glinda... she doesn't feel well.. but its looking like she's feeling better.

I talk about fat content in Cereal cause I was shocked to find out that it was the opposite of what I thought!! Frosted flakes are your friend!! LOL




I also talk about the Prop 1 and prop 2 here in Utah ..
here are the links to learn about the propositions.. there aren't really any opposition, its just up for a vote...
so here are links to more information on them

Prop 1 - Save the Aviary
http://www.savetheaviary.com/

Tracy Aviary is a jewel unlike almost anything in the nation – right here in Salt Lake County.

* One of only two public aviaries in the entire country
* The only public aviary west of the Mississippi
* The oldest and largest public aviary in the nation

But the Aviary has suffered from decades of under-investment. Despite the Aviary’s best efforts, roofs are leaking and infrastructure is crumbling. Due to these problems and uncertain future funding, the Aviary was denied accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 2006.

Salt Lake County residents have high standards for their public facilities. Proposition 1 will enable the Aviary to re-emerge as a world-class, AZA-accredited facility with a clear path for continued success.

Prop 2- Add to the zoo
https://www.hoglezoo.org/renew-the-zoo/
The Salt Lake County Council has placed a $33 million bond on the ballot in November. This will cost the average household $0.39/month. The bond will help the Zoo build an Arctic Exhibit with animals like polar bears, seals, and wolves and an African Savanna that could make a home for giraffes, rhinos, and zebras among other things.

thanks so much again
dont forget to comment and all that Jive :)

Kisses and Huggs!!
