Wake up, Suttons!

It's time to wake up, my dear Sutton family! :) Share what's going on with you all these days.

Domenic is growing up more and more each day. He is crawling and "cruising" like nobody's business! He'll be walking before long!

I am trying to cook healthier meals at home with the family and have been enjoying myself greatly. I have always shied away from being in the kitchen because I wouldn't know where to start and would just get frustrated. But now I find it to be very relaxing and actually a lot of fun to plan menus and make grocery lists and read cook books for ideas. I know, I'm a nerd. :)

Charlie is still Charlie. :) He went four-wheeling today and is now passed out in bed.

Anyway, just a short update. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Feeling Better and Better

Stilll Alive and Kicking...and Sicking

It is Friday evening, about 9 PM. I am going back to bed because I am feeling poopy. I have been on Amoxycillin for four days and have seen dramatic improvement, but it will be a few more days before I am completely recovered. The one good thing to report is that my weight is down a total of 13 pounds (510 down to 497) so I will try to keep that going once I amfeeling better.

I hope everyone else is doing well. Take care and God bless.

Health Update on the Fat Guy

OK, the good news is...IT IS NOT PNEUMONIA!!

Bad news...It is Bronchitis

I have been in bed since Monday evening. I am on Amoxycillin, and inhaler and a decongestant tablet. I am feeling some better tonight, but I haven't really slept very well for the last three nights.

Q. How long can a person go without sleeping?

A. Four days, but you have to keep dancing! yukyukyuk

Well, I don't feel up to dancing in a marathon, so I sure hope to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Love to you all.

Progress Report

Week 1--I started the week pretty well, although my knees were really bothering me. But, I did manage to drop about 8 pounds (mostly water weight) by cutting back on my salt. I did not get to my gym though but I was planning to start that tonight.

That plan may change now because I have to see the doctor at 3:10 this afternoon to see if I have my annual dose of pneumonia. Yep, let's check the usual symptoms. Racking cough, check.
Labored breathing, check. Coughing up lots of gunk, check. Yessiree, sure sounds like pneumonia to me. I will keep you all posted.

In the meantime, however, I will continue to be more aware of what I eat so that I can lose some more weight before next Monday, exercise or not. God bless!
