    This mornings weight
    176.2

    BMI is also down.

    I grabbed a note pad to write the weight/bmi down. Written on the pad was this saying "The only people who never fail are those who never try." Granted I've seen the saying before but what makes this time unique was the quote was written down by one of my children. Unsure who.... based on the handwriting it could be my son trying to write neat or my one daughter writing quickly.

    Here's to a good weekend. You'll catch me at work both Saturday & Sunday.

    up 1.6 from last thurs pre-surgery 186.2 wt, down .8 from fri 188.6. scale said 187.8. i'll take it considering my not so great week. well, i went to bed very comfortably, no pain, but i woke around 5ish, when dh gets up...laid in bed..feeling pain coming on...so i go out to kitchen and i am very nauseated, cold sweat, lightheaded. tempted to wake ds, and have him call my mom. trying to figure out why this is happening??? read my pain med side affects sheet, possibly. really feeling flu-like, great i was exposed somewhere. wondering if it's my heart, pulse is pretty normal, having no other heart related side affects. anxiety, this has happened in the past. really feeling like i am gonna vomit but don't. entire body is sticky, damp. take my temp, normal. in 10 minutes i am back to normal. wth? concerned my meds are not agreeing with me or not working together. go back to bed and just rest. miss my pain med by 3 hrs, avoid taking it cuz i dont wanna chuck it up. just took all meds about an hour ago...so far so good.

    Barb ~ lots of victories for you this week...keep with it! i hope to follow you. need to figure out what i can do for exercise. i am gonna be a blob of blubber.

    will check in later....have a nice day all

    kelly - stick w/the weight on the chart. I do think the wii balance board was whacked.
    I'm sticking w/180 being my highest weight which was a few weeks ago.

    Hoping you start to feel more like yourself soon.

    Morning Pepper's,
    Well no loss again this week just maintaining. With my eating dinner so late at night I think it is affecting me. Still the same. hope for a loss soon. Still having pain in hip not thrilled. Well coughing and sore throat from coughing. :grumble: Not suprised happens every year, I get a little run down during this season. It is getting slow so my hour for the second job are cut in half. So now have Sunday's off :drinker: and a few nights too. This weeks goal is to check in everyday and start watching my calories, when hip is better will start walking at least 20 mins. on lunch. Need to do this. Not feeling very good about myself these days.

    Barb glad you are doing well. Keep up the good work.
    Jacque we will get there.
    Vita we seam to have the same symtoms, hope you feel better soon
    Kelly give yourself a break, you just had surgery and you are doing very well.

    We will do this Pepper's. Check back later have to walk forms over to DS school during lunch so at least a walk today :drinker:

    Hey all...
    Working this weekend. Feeling tired.... think the night will be w/a book.

    Feel good I didn't take any of the cupcakes or candy that was in the office.

    Dinner was chinese take out. I'm weighing out portions before I eat. And get a dinner from the "diet" section of the menu.
    Leftover from my meal was measured out for Sunday's lunch.

    Hoping you have a good Sunday.

    afternoon...how's everyone doing? i did ok yesterday. stayed in calories and almost all my water. dh made pancakes, sausage, and eggs this am. i had banana, almonds, yogurt, and flax. he's grilling steak for supper...so i will indulge..along with some mushrooms and onions.:tongue: ready to try some activity. would like to get on my treadmill but don't want to risk falling. no matter what i decide to do, i'll have to make sure i keep my arm at my side w/or w/out sling. maybe stretch n tone is possible. my right arm is like jello now. ds was here friday nite, and hoping he stops here on his way back to college. :smile: enjoy the rest of your sunday gang.

    I am being a wimp today sooo tired from the weekend. Was never home long enought to get anything done. I am wearing a dress from the back of the closet LOL so out of style. Got to catch up on the laundry. OMG I ate so much food this weekend had two cupcake on Saturday and cake on Sunday. 3 party on the weekend is way to much!!! Sugar overload for sure. Amazing that when I got up this morning, I had gain no weight must be from all the walking and going nonstop. One of the parties was on a ranch and where the tables were set up there was no parking and I had to drop off mom by tables, park car and walk to tables. Then had to do it for sis too. So i got alot of walking done just for doing that. Sunday kelly had a photo shoot and we had to walk all over this campus for the pics. They turned out good. So goal today is to get thru work, laundry and try to get a walk in. Lunch will be light, left lunch in car that daughter took for the day and no money so eating the fruit I had left on my desk from last week. I been a total airhead this morning good thing I had a good breakfast.
    Hope all is well with everyone.

    happy monday team! well i did pretty good this weekend with eating. haven't had much of an appetite. don't know if it's med related or not. one thing i have noticed is that i am having increased shoulder pain while standing or sitting. even while taking my pain meds regularly. laying is about the only thing that relieves it..still sleeping very well. had dh adjust my sling, only helped for a while. also stopped wearing bra b/c the wt of my breast/bra strap felt like it was too much wt for my shoulder. goin to therapist later today, so will tell her all of this. staple sites healing well.

    cindy ~ hope you continue to feel better, hip too. my pain meds have been affecting some of my decisions...dh is noticing.
    barb ~ good luck at dds. i was suppose to go wed for 6 mo check but have to rs b/c of my shoulder...love my cleanings.

    jacque n vita ~ hope you had a good weekend.

    Hi all -
    Jacque I was tired on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Fell asleep on Friday before my GS meeting. Went to bed early on Friday. Was in bed early on Saturday & Sunday. Momma is tired... I have baskets of clean laundry in my living room -- had to root through one basket to find the socks to wear. Of course, I could have said heck w/it under my combat boots who will notice.... but I wore the right ones.

    Kelly - hoping you find relief soon.

    ok,so my pain has increased and to the point of causing me to cry and being nauseated. the therapist does an awesome job, she rarely hurts me. i told her what has been going on, and she said it sounds nerve related. i am almost sure it is, cuz my pain meds aren't giving relief. i had pinched nerves in my spine when i was 21, caused numbness, tingling, and horrible pain down both arms. i have even taken a maximum dose and 3-4 hrs apart, vs the 4-6 suggested. different areas are now twitching slightly and i have a hot/burning sensation. i think i need to call my surgeon. if this gets worse, i don't think i will be able to tolerate it. nite friends
