I want to cry.  I just spent a huge bunch of time and energy writing my comeback post and accidentally deleted it.  Wah!  I guess it wasn't meant to be.  Basically what it said was, I haven't been here and I haven't been being accountable.  There are tons of changes that have happened and I am excited to tell you about them.  And then I thanked Dawnya at Evolution of a Black Butterfly for reminding me to stay the course.  Her encouragement got my ass back over here and motivated to keep doing what I should be doing. 

I still have not had my revision surgery.  I decided to wait until the 2 year mark as my insurance would like.  I should be having my surgery in June/July.  I hope to have things straightened out with insurance in time to do it right after school gets done for the semester.  How nice would it be to take a month or two off this summer?  I'm fortunate in that my job has a benefit where I have a bank of time that can be taken for things like this.  Up to 12 weeks!  Woot!  I'm sad to say that Hurricane Sandy beat the living hell out of the beach that I usually go to.  Yep, all those pics of Rockaway Beach that I have posted here were taken in an area just womped by the storm.  So, for now, I'm not sure where I would be spending those summer days, but I'm sure I can find someplace sunny!  I haven't lost much weight since I last checked in, and I'm happy to say I haven't gained much either.  I yo-yo a bit around the same weight, but I'll be trying to get back down soonish.  I'm thinking about taking on the challenge of a juice cleanse next week.  I got this fancy juicer and just renewed the Costco account, so I may just dive in and start juicin! 

Well there is much to catch you all up on.  I am going to break it up into multiple posts as not to bore the life out of both of us trying to cram it all in on one page.  Look for me in the next couple days to unload allll the juicy gossip.  Feels good to be back.  Hope you all are having a great new year!
