My CF CHALLENGE

CF CHALLENGE!

I have signed up for 3 Greatstrides Walks this year!! I usually bring a couple friends to two of the walks. But, one is very local this year!

There is a walk only 15 mins away (next closest is an hour), so this is very exciting!

I'm really trying to keep on top of doing all my meds. These past few days I have missed some, but overall still doing well.

HOWEVER, I wanted to add some motivation I couldn't resist! Fundraising for the CF Foundation, for researching for a cure, etc.

SO, I proposed this challenge:

For every $100 my team or I raise for my walks (any of them) I will do a full weeks worth of meds! (this includes at least 2 cans of feeding a night and all 10 nebulizers everyday!)

(and if we had coporate or large sponsors/donations those count too)

Last year my team raised $1,200 at one walk and $75 at my smaller one. If we only raised that much this year I would have to do all my meds for roughly 3 months!

We started fundraising and registering for the Walk (June 1, 2013) last week! We have raised $300 so far! :-) I hope that my health will motivate my team to fundraise as much as their contributions will motivate me to be healthy!

PLUS at the end of the year maybe we can see a difference in my Clinic/ Tests Results!!!!!!

To donate or register with my team for our Hollowayville Walk (our main one this year) click HERE!

I also started a Facebook Event: click HERE to read the info!

And of course, a pciture of my team from last year's Peoria Walk! Thanks everyone for donating, helping, and walking- It really means a lot! :-)

Today's BIG Appointment

 I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL   On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...

SummerTime

 Who Doesn't LOVE the Summer: Summer is very much welcomed in our house! Andrew has more time off in the summer. I'm excited he graduates from college this December! Since the Fall of 2013 he has worked full-time while going to school full-time (35-45 hours at work & 12-15 credits per semester). This fall will be a little easier, he only has 2 classes & his Capstone Paper/project. However, he has been working on that this summer so he's ahead of the game. I've been enjoying spending more time with him this summer. Last night we walked down to the lake and had a picnic dinner. Had to find a shady spot so I didn't get sunburnt, I burn fairly fast from daily antibiotics & fair skin. We got to use one of our wedding shower presents. My mom got us a lawn blanket that zips up, along with the shadowbox, and other items. We love to going to the band concerts & activities in the park. So the lawn blanket will get lots of use. We packed it all up in a pic...
