2 Years of Marriage!!

Well we have done it DeWayne and I have made it 2 years together and counting. Yesterday we celebrated our 2nd Anniversary together as a couple and had a great time. I got him a picture of the two of us and he got me 2 Roses symbolizing our two years together an a Stuffed Pug with the promise that when we have the money and time that we will get a pug some day. Then we had a nice dinner at the Olive Garden and went to the mall to see if we could get my wedding rings sized but after the price it was going to cost we decided against that one. We had a great night just enjoying each others company which we never feel like we get to do any more as we are so busy.

What else is new in the Hetrick family we lets see here.... I have been healthy in the most part for the last 2 or 3 months which is nice and we have been seeing full time checks once again. I am going to see a couple of doctors in the next couple of weeks to get things hammered out but it looks as thought the surgery for the lap band will be happening the first part of next year the doctor has done all the referrals that she needs to do now i am waiting for Dr.Fox to call me and set up and apt to discuss things and where we go from here i wont be able to have it done now till next year because we are in lock down at work with Vacations from Halloween through the rest of the year. But I am very much looking forward to it as I would love to be healthy for a whole year and not sick all the time like it has been this year.

How is DeWayne he is doing great his is working full time driving for Round Table and really enjoys that and is looking into doing home theater systems. We went to some friends house a couple of weeks ago and he hurt his back playing Pickle Ball so he has been taking trips to the chiropractor a couple times a week.

We both have a Fantasy Football team this year it is fun i am still learning but it is a good time to have together. We go to a local sports bar here in town and watch there 15 screens of TV on Sunday morning then on Monday nights we get together with some friends and we all go to a local sports bar and watches Monday night football we have a blast.

Besides that not much else is going on around here in our little city getting ready to head over to the coast in October and looking forward to seeing friends and family then.

We miss every one and sorry it has taken me so long to get on here and write I have been just to busy I am not quite sure with what but always seem to be busy with something!!!

Oh the joys...

Well last week I went in and had my eyes checked and i needed glasses so i have been waiting for them to come in and they did this after noon i didn't know what a difference it would make it is still funny to see something and i am still getting use to them so some things are wobbly. They say it will take a couple of weeks for them to fully adjust to seeing 20/20.

Yesterday i had to go in for a colonoscopy everything is OK so far there they took out one pol-op the size of a dime and did a blood and stool test and both of those tests came back negative but it will be 4 weeks till the pol-op test comes back.

Other then that things are OK we had the boat races this weekend and enjoyed a full day out on the river on Sunday and the air show we had a good time but i still got sun burned even with the 50SPF. But it was fun.

Looking forward to the next couple of weeks and pricing things for the Garage sale that is coming up and having the whole fam dam ly over here since only mom has seen the house and we have been here for over a year now so it will be nice for them to be her.

Well i better go and take a shower as i have to get ready for the morning now because DeWayne has softball tonight so we will be up late and i have to get up early to go to work by 5:45.

Weight and Stress

How come is it when you are stressed you eat more or at least i do I always feel hungery and no matter what i do i cant get full. Well with all the stress that is what this weekend has been like i just got off the scale and i have gained 3 of the seven i had lost well all this means is i have to work harder this week and i will be able to be down next week right!!!! No more crap food and more fiber so i can stay fuller longer! Ok well i have kept you all long enoght have a good day everyone!

Tying Times

Sorry it has been so long since i have had time to sit down and let every one know what is going on in the life of Ryan and DeWayne. We first off i have been still having stomach issues so i have gone to see a Gastrointrologist last week and they let me know some interesting things about my stomach and what is happening. (I have been waiting on this feed back since I was in the Hospital) any how.... So i have ulcers in my esophagus and in my upper stomach what they are thinking is causing all the sores an pain in my stomach is that my food doesn't empty from my stomach in a timely manner most people have half of there food out of there stomach with in 90 min where as he thinks that mine stays in there from anywhere from 2.5 to 3 hours before it is half way gone so even by me eating smaller meals 6 times a day it still isn't helping that much because i still have food in my stomach from the time before. So with that all being said he put me on a medication that is not yet FDA approved but you can get it from Canada so that is what is we are going to do they have it all set up that they bill me for it but they get it from Canada for me. I sort of feel like a drug smuggler and it is prescribed to me..... :) Then i go in this following Monday and have the most lovely of test i get to have another Colonoscopy to see what they can find in my lower stomach he thinks he has a pretty good idea as to what is going on with my colon but just wants to be sure before he puts me on a medication for "Spastic Colon" doesn't this soooooo sound like something i would have it couldn't be anything normal it has to be spastic...

As for another issue here in our lives DeWayne has lost his job once again on Friday they let his whole team go from Senske Lawn and Tree. Which realllllly sucks he has sold all these lawn and tree and pest services and he will not get paid for any of them as he is no longer working for them and it was commission based so that is really making my blood boil he made that money for them almost 52 thousand dollars in revenue for them and he doesn't get to see the fruits of his labor. I am soooooo red with anger on this issue and you can tell my my jot on my soap box would show. Before I came home Friday night though he had went out and got him self another job that he starts today. He is going back to be a delivery driver for Round Table Pizza he will be the day time delivery person so he will get the big jobs that order pizzas and give nice size tips. We will see how the gas goes though with the price right now at $4.32 a gallon..... Hopefully the tips will be able to pay for gas every other day.

Besides that i don't think anything much is new i start my new 6 month shift at work this week so i will be working from Tuesday thru Saturday from 5:45am to 2:24 pm so lets hope my tired butt can get out of bed and be at work on time since that is sooooooooo early. No more staying up for me it is to bed by 9.

Ok well i love every one very much and miss you all hopefully every one is doing good and you are all enjoying the beautiful summer!!!!

The first Weigh-In

So today was my first weigh in date and after a week and a half of working out and watching what I eat I have lost 7lbs (thats with a holiday in there) I was very happy this morning when I went to work out and got on the scale and saw that number. Things are going pretty good untill we had friends over for dinner and games and they brought over Banana Cream pie one of my favorites. I had a piece but then went on with eating correctly once again. I hope by this time next year I will not be as hot and sweaty as I am now with it being sooooooo freakin hot over here. My normal schedule is to get up in the morning and then go work out come home take a shower and then go to work it sort of makes for a long day but i am hoping the shorter days are coming. They are making lots of changes at work and they all start on the 20th of this month. I will be getting a new boss and I will also be working a new schedule. 5:45-2:45 Tuesday thru Saturday. This will be good for DeWayne and I so we can have some time to do things together which we have not had time to do in months. So that is about all I have to say at this time I miss every one and hope everyone is doing good!

Turning over a new Leaf...

"Today is the first day of the rest of my life. My healthy life the life that I was intend to have." I woke up this morning said it was going to be a good day and so far it has be wonderful. I joined Curves yesterday and today was my first work out and boy did it feel great. I got measured and made my goals for the next 3 weeks. (start small to end big) So I have set a goal of losing 5 lbs and to loose 2 inches total on my body. I also saw a nutritionist yesterday and she has put me on a 1500 calorie a day diet I know that sounds like a lot of calories but because I have been so sick lately she wants to start with that and if by week 4 I am not loosing 1-2 lbs a week she will then move to down to 1200 calories a day. So I have made my way to the store and have picked up the essentials of what I think I will need for the next week or so. Veggies are free so bring on the Cucumbers and Carrots and Celery. I sure am going to miss that Ranch dip but I want to see the new me and enjoy those veggies with nothing on them the way they were meant to be eaten. Fruit is perfect this time of year and oh my goodness the Grapes are FABULOUSSSSSS!!!! So from here on out we will be eating correctly and proportionately so that I can get healthy and maybe some day be able to run around with my little ones. 100 lbs to go and we can start trying to build our family. I would love the support from all my family and friends because as we all you this journey is a hard one and the motivation some times fades. I love you all and thank you in advance for your support. Love Ryan!!

It's back to work

Well once again i hope to be back to work tomorrow as it has been over a week and i am ready to go back to work. There has been lots of changes going on at work since i have been gone so i have been hearing from girls at work calling me and giving me heads up. I guess we will find out tomrrow for sure. I am still battling the sores on my toung and got another big one yesterday so i doubt that i will be going back to work full time right at first but it will be nice to at least being back to work period. I have been watching the Olympic trial today and cant wait till the Olympics start on 8-8-08 you better believe the DVR will be set to record everything. GO USA!!! Well that is about all that is going on now but i do hope that things are going good for everyone and that every one has a good ending to a nice week before the forth of July.
