Kelly- CONGRATULATIONS on the 365 days of logging in!! :bigsmile: Keep your chin up. At least you are smaller than when you started logging in everyday.
My weight is 235. I am up this week. I don't know why. I guess if I logged my food I might have a better picture of how I did eating. Today is a new day.

down 2.4 to 183.8. had my DOT physical today and the Dr said my wt was the same as it was 2 yrs ago....and I'm "maintaining" :grumble: I was happy with my b/p 118/80, pulse 64.
my mom called today and told me my 90 yr old (I thought she was 80) great aunt was visiting from PA. so was up at my parents for the rest of the day. I was totally surprised when Tyler and Tanner showed up! Did not expect this, so it turned out to be an even more special visit for my aunt. I was pretty proud of them :smooched:
been a sweet n salty, crunchy n creamy kinda day. had a frosted sugar cookie, tuna casserole, cherry/pineapple crumble cake with pecans and ice cream, pizza, chips and licorice :sick: plan on going to my nieces dog show tomorrow with my mom. Sunday I have a bridal shower to go to with MIL. lots of county fairs going on right now.:bigsmile:
have a nice evening and a very good weekend gang. take care
:flowerforyou: prayers for Jacque. hoping for the best girl. let us know how you are...hugs

Jacque- hope you recover fast and everything went well yesterday with doctors.
Kelly- Have fun today at the dog show and baby shower tomorrow.
Barb- I hope things are working out with your new friend.
Sindy & Miss Vita- Miss you guys and hope things are going well for you.
Today I hope to go to the park and maybe swimming with Zan. I think tomorrow we are going to the caves in Virgina. Zan starts swimming lessons on Tuesday. I am excited and hope he enjoys it. Have a great day! 0 -
Happy 1 year for Kelly. Such an accomplishment. Like you, I get discouraged the loss isn't happening as I would like it to. Depression, what the hell does it matter, don't care attitude... all of that too. On the flip side, there's a lot of support we gain from each other. That my friends, is worth more than a weight loss.
Angie - good to hear you're able to sleep in instead of doing early am workouts.
Jacque - speedy recovery.
Sindy and Miss V -- how are you? Miss you!
Began my diabeties medication this week. Unsure when I want to disclose this to my employer. As soon as I do, I will be medically discharged. Of course the discharge will take time to process. If I had another position lined up w/another federal agency or private sector I would feel a bit better about disclosing during my next medical screening (October/November 2011). Perhaps it's time to throw my resume out into the wild jungle of finding employment.
Court is Monday & I am nervous. Hoping for positive outcomes.
Last night I made my new man dinner. He walked in the door and I handed him a military meal ready to eat and said here's your dinner. He looked at the package of pasta w/meatballs and laughed. Then he helped me cook the real dinner. I haven't cooked a meal for anyone (including me) in easily 6-8 weeks so it was nice. And yes, we're doing well -- liking each other more and more each day.0 -
My niece (13) shows 2 dogs. One is a jack russell terrier/male/Sparky and the other is a mixed breed/female/Grace, but not theirs. my sis had a brother/Bear to this mixed breed and he went to fair for 4 summers, and was shown by my sis son(16) and was hit by a car this winter. Today was Grooming, Obedience, Handling & Rally. Both dogs rec'd blues for everything and Grace won Champion in the Obedience, Graduate Novice group!! It was a bittersweet moment!
:happy:
had a late lunch at a Chinese buffet. carb coma now.:sick: seems I only eat there with my mom and she with me...so it's been a while...and it WAS Yummy!
dh worked today and just arrived home.
upset with my sons. they floated down the river on the 4th and were warned and warned to wear sunscreen. NOPE. well, they both returned with nasty sun burns on pretty much the front side of their body. yup, they were in pain the next couple days...and then they blistered...and now they are peeling. YUCK. very gross. prevention is key. hmmm, what do I know?:huh:0 -
tired, headache today. known cause...poor eating from yesterday. went to bridal shower with my MIL today. fun to get out and hang with women...we made mints for the wedding too. dh grilling for supper. been doing some web reading on partial hysterectomy. so many of the forums have women who are still having their cycle?? :noway: this I have to ask my Dr. why have the surgery if this is still occurring? have a nice evening.0

We went to Luray Caverns in Virgina yesterday. It was beautiful in the caves and enjoy the coolness of them after spending over 1 hour walking around the garden maze. Met up with friends afterwards and went to Cracker Barrel. It was a long day but a good one. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Happy Monday! Have a great day! 0

Kelly- way to be smart and research the topic! I am glad they have forums so you can talk to others who have had that procedure done. 0

severe storms came thru around 5 this am. I have been outside cleaning our yard up for over 3 hrs. we had about 7 tree branches fall and our yard and deck were covered with leaves. we have an ornamental tree that split..my grandma had planted it when she lived here. I'm hoping to get a seedling from it. thankful no damage...but some others in the area not so lucky. some are still without power. happy we got some rain, but the wind, not. FIL told me there is a lot of crop damage from the wind.
Angie, the caves sound really neat! haven't been to one in many years. and I LOVE Cracker Barrel!!
having trouble retrieving my cell voice mails....0 -
hi all...
made a cake over the weekend... unfortunately I was the only one who ate it.
refinanced house today. Yeah.
Off to do a return at walmart, car wash & car club event.

Zan did pretty good for his first swimming lesson. He is the oldest in his class, which goes from 6-18 months. It makes me wish I started him when he was younger. Oh well, we are doing it now.Zan is the only newbie. Everyone else has been in the class before. There are 4 children in his class: 2 boys & 2 girls. I met with a mom's club walking group. WOW!!!! What a work out. I think I worked harder on my walk than when I do the elliptical at the gym. I am so tired. We had a very busy morning with walking and swim lessons. Zan did took a good nap this afternoon and is just now eating lunch.
Barb- That is exactly why I don't bake a cake unless I make it the weight watcher way so I don't feel guilty if I eat the whole thing. Now Zan will help me eat it so i don't get the whole cake myself anymore. Congrats on refinancing your house!!
Sindy & Miss V- missing you & hope things are going good for you!
Jacque- I hope you are recovering fast. Miss you!
Kelly- You are an inspiration to me for logging in for over a YEAR!! Maybe I will get there one day. I hope things are going great with you.
Have a great day Smokin' Hot Green Peppers! 0 -
afternoon team...went and got a haircut today. for some reason that always puts me in a better mood. I had her take off a lot more in the back, but the style is still the same. will need to do a home-high lite soon. got some groceries too. I did some calling today for Tanner...bout his OWI, re-instating his license, getting registration back, and SR-22 insurance. he's likely going to go with liability only for 6 mos. a speeding ticket in '09 doesn't help prices, but that will be non-affective come Feb. found out he has to pay a civil penalty to reinstate his license, $ 200. we originally thought he had to retest, re drive. guess not. he is still paying the charges, but 3/4 there. IF he keeps his record clean, for a year, things will get cheaper, but it may take 5 yrs for *our* insurance to allow him back.
so, my eating has been pretty bad lately. have not exercised in probably a month now. this isn't good. surgery is 1 week from today. they said on the news today that the storm we had yesterday am had hurricane - like winds 110 - 130 mph. not sure what category that is for a tornado, but it lasted a good 12 minutes in some areas. on my drive to the city today, the town just 7 miles south of us was really hit hard. I could not believe what I saw. trees down everywhere and twisted. corn fields flattened. straight line winds. don't think I have ever seen it this bad in my lifetime. grateful there were no injuries.
Angie...I admire you for getting Zan swimming lessons. I was with my cousin when he drown, and fought a river current to save my own. we were 6 & 7. it was very tragic and I am bothered by it to this day. it's one of the best lessons in life you can give to your child. the walking group sounds wonderful..glad you have this opportunity. by the way, you're doing very well with exercise lately!
Barb...hope you and the PC had a good showing! I like it...
HI to the rest of the gang.....we MISS you ladies!! come back....soon 0 -

hey Barb...thanks for taking the time to set up the survey and tally the results, much appreciated!! So I'm good with DC and early summer. Guess we need to settle on a definite date and go from there...length and itinerary. YAY! I'm excited to be planning another meetup with everyone!
went to bed too early last nite, been up since 4am...lots accomplished! laundry done, baked 2 dozen cookies, did dishes, 3 phone calls related to upcoming surgery, and cleaned out my refrigerator, WOW, that was necessary! enjoying a nice day with the windows open and a good breeze...lower temps and dew points. guess the heat will return for the weekend.
many appts coming up pre-surgical. 2 on Friday, 1 on Monday. Surgery scheduled for 2pm Tues. go in as outpatient and spend the night, but out before 24 hrs. and the way things are looking, they will get me on a very heavy flo day.
oldest son done with his orientation job at the college..so he will be arriving home tonite! have a nice day ladies!:flowerforyou:0 -
Hi ladies... is it 5pm yet? That's all I have to say...0

weight went up 172.
Seems I keep lose/gain the same dang 3lbs.
Overall, I didn't eat as well as I should have.0 -
Hi ladies... is it 5pm yet? That's all I have to say...
some where!!
made stir fry for supper last nite which everyone enjoys, but takes a lot of time and cleanup.
dh contacted cable company and I guess they are to be here today to move our satellite...for free. we shall see.
freaked out yesterday when on a trip to the basement I noticed smoke rolling . didn't smell like 'fire or electrical', but I called 911 anyway. smelled like a chemical. guess they were smoking the sewer lines..per the dispatcher...but will notify anyway. however, our drain is completely closed with a cap b/c of sewer backup and flooding issues. dh has sump pump feeding into sewer line, so when public works guys arrived..that was the source. public works said the council elected not to inform the residents?? bet 911 dispatch was thrilled about that!
hope to dust and vacuum today, bathe the puggers, clean the bathroom, fertilize my flowers and yank some weeds.
sure I'll be up this week too Barb.0 -
Ate a salad for lunch. Then my co-worker and I went to a briefing which we thought was 1pm today. I had slides to present in the briefing. Nope, the briefing is Friday.. which is the day off for my office.
Like fools my co-worker and I are sitting in the briefing room all by ourselves... finally I say, let's go... no one else is coming in.
Guess my mind is totally on my weekend. Don't have much plans. May see Laz ( that's the new beau's name) Friday depending on when he's done work. We do have plans for dinner on Saturday after he's done work. Sunday he'll have his children so unsure if I'll see him or not. So far, it's ok... we see each other when we can.
I'm thinking some of Friday or Saturday may be spendt at the state park lake. I don't mind going by myself.....0 -
I am 233.6 pounds this week. Yeah a loss! For as much as I been exercising this week I was hoping for a bigger loss. The more time I spend exercising the less I eat so I am confused to why my loss is not bigger. I guess if I logged in my food I could see where I am making my mistake. oh well. I will keep trying.
I hope everyone is having a great day! 0 -
hi....had my history and physical AND Pre-Admission Surgical Evaluation today. the gal that took my blood and did an EKG looked familiar. yup, she graduated in my Medical Assisting class....in 1985!! unbelievable! possible they may move my surgery time up, will know for sure Monday.
they had a drawing at Scott's employer yesterday for a new bike...and Tanner won!! they were both pretty excited! it's a very deep burgundy color and really sharp! it's probably been at least 6-7 years since I have seen him on a bike. funny to watch him go up and down our street! Tyler returned to his 'house' this evening. he is gonna start looking for a part time job during his final year of college. he's 21 and each time it's still sad to see him leave....
my best friend is moving to an apartment and I am helping her paint tomorrow.
good job on the loss Angie....you've done so well with exercise this week! keep on truckin'!
Barb enjoy your time with Laz! 0 -
Happy Saturday! We are not doing much today. Hopefully we will take Zan to the pool to work on his swimming lessons. I will do some cleaning. Have a great day everyone! 0

helped my friend paint from 8am > 6pm. eating was bad all day. hope you're all staying cool team! have a good day.0

I went the gym today with Zan. He is doing very well in kids club now. :bigsmile: I didn't bring the diaper bag because I never need it and of coarse today he decides to need a diaper change. So my work out was cut short after only 20 minutes. I guess he thought I needed a short day! Another day with nothing planned. Just chilling out at home. I think I will take Zan to the park. It is so beautiful outside today. We have had really nice weather since Thursday and I am enjoying the great weather. I hope everyone has a great today. 0

HI everyone....Dr's appt today with my PA. 6 mo check on my Bupropion. this is the one she had me try to double and I had very bad side affects. will be doing some last minutes chores in the house. weather has been oppressive the last couple of days. temps in the 90's and humidity and dew points high. heat index 110-1115*. ICK. always worry about the guys since there is no AC where dh works. new hires quit when it gets like this. have a good one!
Angie..the pool and park sound like a lot of fun! how is Odie doing? when will he return?0 -
Kelly- Ody is supposed to return on July 31. I can't wait for him to come back. I miss him so much. Soon he will be back where he belongs with me.
Zan and I will go to the pool this afternoon. We have to work on our swimming lessons, which he has tomorrow. Zan is a stinker. He doesn't want to take morning naps anymore and won't take a good afternoon nap. He went from sleeping 2-3 hours during the day to maybe 1.25 hours. He gets so crabby at night but won't go to bed. I hope he will start napping better soon or else I will go crazy. Have a great day ladies!! 0 -
felt really depressed yesterday & today. Combination of not able to contact kids, folks at church asked me how's Dave, how's the kids..then I had to explain the situatuion since these folks didn't know... seeing older couples at church I know been married for over 50 years, seeing families at church, knowing Laz is with his kids and I can't be with mine, having to handle this house on my own (and I hate yardwork), and overall when will this crap be over.
I was in tears Sunday... decided by 2pm I had enough. Pjs on and I was in bed - done for the day. Friend called me learned I was already in bed and told me to come over. I hemmed and hawed... had to desire to leave my darkened room... finally I realized if I don't go, the only time I would leave bed is for the toilet.
Get there and see their daughter and another friend over & my first thought -- great need to slap on a fake happy face. Even when the 6month old grandbaby woke up I was given the baby to hold One, I didn't want to hold the baby and two when I did tears streamed down my face. Keep thinking of my children at 6 months old. Especially my oldest.
Once their guests left I sat in their living room and cried, cried, cried, cried. I dislike breaking down in front of people. Feel that shows I am weak. My friends were attempting to cheer me up... the kids will come back.... they want to see you... and I kept focusing on the oldest who doesn't. Friends were telling me.. their daughter wanted no parts of them and look at her now.. always here with the baby... etc etc. In time, oldest will come around. Was told I'm strong - fight for what I want - it's great you're continuing to work, move on with your life - fight for compensation (pain/suffering) from Dave. I'm not a fighter -- rather walk away than get involved. Was like that with my divorce, I didn't fight for stuff. My friends told see, you didn't fight & look what your ex is doing to you now in court. Don't let others walk over me. I replied I'm too nice of a person and I don't know how to be a *****.... it's not my style. It's not me. Don't want to become a woman considered a ***** by others. And then just cried and cried and cried more. Husband told me for the longest time I was the rock in my relationship -- helping Dave with his medical, supporting him while in hospital, etc... now it's time for me to let someone else be my rock....and it's ok for me not to be a rock right now. The leaning on others for support... tough for me... I feel weak, lack of control.
Took today off & called my counselor who stated it's a combination of me letting my emotions out & depression. For the longest time I had the stiff upper lip - unwilling to show how I feel regarding my situation. Now, I'm letting go. It's ok, it's normal - ok to call out of work today. I'm in a greiving process... my change from stiff upper lip/no show of emotion to freely flowing tears is normal. If the desire to stay in bed w pjs on continue -- call her. And today I should do something just for me.
When I spoke to Laz last night & today he knew something was wrong. And he tried his best today to make me laugh & smile.
Still feeling teary as I type this.. still feeling envious of long term marriages, families and feeling my control is gone....0 -
Barb ~ :flowerforyou: I wish I was there to give you a hug! you're in my thoughts....praying for peace and strength. love YOU!!
leaving in about 2 hrs, and surgery at 2pm. will be over nite and hope to be out before 24 hrs. love you all team...take care 0 -
Barb- I am praying for you and wish I could give you hug. Your friends are right though: You have to stick up for yourself and fight for what you want. :flowerforyou: Things will get better. You have to keep trying.
Kelly- I am praying for a speedy recovery for you. I hope things go very smooth for you today. :flowerforyou:
Miss V, Jacque & Sindy- Miss you guys and hope all is well with you.0 -
Thanks all for your warm wishes and support.
Went to work today, went to car club meet & greet ... talked to people... moved on with my day.
May each day get better.0 -
got home today around 4:15. surgery went well, really not too painful. however, since I don't tolerate a basic Lortab, they had me on a Morphine pump:noway: I was still groggy after waking and did not know this is what was hooked up to me. I must have squeezed it 3-4 times. I was so dizzy and nauseated. blech. they finally stopped it around 10:30 last nite. then I find out (same thing happened when I had my rotator cuff) that some little cocktail they give during anesthesia does a reversal, to help wake you up AND it is a stimulant :noway: I think I slept 2 hours. not a good experience this time around. glad to be home. was told I would have 3 probe sites. 4. Dr needs to explain this...she didn't even say anything when she stopped in to see me this am, and I just noticed it here at home a few minutes ago. LOTS and LOTS of bloating!! looking forward to a good nites rest. :yawn:
thanks for the thoughts and prayers everyone...means a lot to me. 0
