Life Below 100

So you are wondering what I mean by that. Tomorrow I will hear the results of lambha light chain count for this month. My hope is finally it will be below 100! That will be a moment that will definitely take my breath away!

I have been feeling pretty good lately. My personal trainer, Tim is really happy with my progress so far. Its been just a few months since I started back working out with weights. My progress is going well. I started at 80 pounds on the leg press and today I am up to 265 pounds. It feels so good to be working out again. I started riding my bike doing interval training for about 20 minutes. It sure gets my new heart pumping. I'm going to try and do the interval training 4 times a week, weight training once and twice a week every other week and walk in between. I believe it is important to exercise regularly. Everyone should do something for at least 30 minutes a day. Walk, ride a bike, swim - get out and move. I don't think I could have made a quick recovery after the heart transplant if I wasn't exercising before.

Mark, Scott, Rob and Jeff went to the trailer on Monday and installed 4 new windows and a new slider. I can't wait to see the new windows this weekend. Saturday they will put the rest in. Mark said it is much quieter inside with the new windows. It looks like a new trailer.

Next Sunday I'm giving Erin her first baby shower. I can't wait! She is in her 31st week and little Markie is getting bigger. She said his kicks are getting stronger and more frequent. I can't wait to see his little face, hold him and give him so much love. What a moment that will be.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to spend time with all three of my sons. It was so much fun. They really opened up and talk to me about things they did while growing up. It was so funny to see Matt and Max fighting with each other over stupid things. They talked about times when they did things that even I didn't know about. Wow was that a shock! All in fun but I didn't know about it. I'm just so happy that they are so close to each other even now.

In two weeks, I get to go to Vegas with my sister Mary to celebrate her 50th birthday. We are staying at Belligio and having dinner at Prime. Saturday night we will see the show "Love". How much fun will that be? LOTS!

I will post tomorrow my results from the light chain count. Have a wonderful week.

Remember: Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the number of moments that take your breath away! Go out and make those moments!

Love,
Debbie
