Its been quite a while since I blogged and thought it was finally due.
This past week has been a blur for me. Mon - Thur I was averaging 2 1/2 hours of sleep each night because I was so congested. Every time I tried to sleep I was coughing my head off and had to end up getting up. Thus spending way to much time on facebook. I guess I was making up for the several months I neglected it.
Sheila and I went to get our physicals on Thursday so we can get the home study update on our adoption. While we were there my doctor got onto me about my weight. She said I HAVE to gain 12 pounds. I'm not gonna say I am thrilled to have to do this, but I have been told by most everyone I know that I look to thin. Being a man who once weighed 300 lbs it is hard for me to get a grasp on all this. I promised my doctor that I would do what she says and I also promised Sheila the same. It's not been easy to eat more food and not want to run down to my bike to burn off the caloris, but so far I have been good. Thursday and Friday I let myself finally enjoy eating what most would consider normal meals for the first time in about 3 years. I know its probably gonna take a few weeks or maybe a month to accomplish, but as of this morning my weight is up 1.5 lbs So I can honestly say that I have made attempts on my part to do what my doctor said. And I have the scale to back me up as well.
Blessings till I post again.

Rob, I am so proud of your weight loss accomplishment and actually envy (in a good way) your discipline and determination. I have to admit that your looking too thin had crossed my mind the last time I saw you.
I am equally proud of your willingness to follow your doctor's orders to gain 12 pounds.
Your weight loss, and now your weight gain has and will continue to take a lot of will-power and work on your part. But it seems to me that when you are at that ideal weight, it will surely be an amazing and rewarding feeling!
My prayers are with you.
Thanks John,
I appreciate and welcome all the prayer I can get. Sheila always says when I do something I go over board, I guess she has a very validated point now huh.
