Good Morning, So we had quite a day yesterday. The campus was put on lock down as there were shots fired on the edge of campus. Thank goodness no one was injured and the security team responded quickly. It was scary for a few minutes. Then about 30 minutes later, it was so dark it looked like night. I was wondering what…

Hey Carol, Yes we call Jasmine our diva dog, lol. She is a standard Pomeranian. She weighs 13 pounds. She is a spoiled girl and headstrong too. She loves chicken and rice. I make it for her and Eliza Jane (our Chiweenie) whenever either one is not feeling their best. Eliza has a lot of digestive issues. Really having them…

Taking a mental health day from work today. I have been working our entire department by myself since September. We were only two people deep and the other person quit. Why does it take so long to get a new hire in place in government jobs? I have been working for the same boss in different positions for the past 12 years.…

Thanks for the insight ladies. I didn't really think I was going at it too hard. I haven't made it to the gym everyday. I will pull back a little and increase the calories a little to see what happens. I have a lot of health issues and I know that can play a big part in things as well. I just know that when I had lost all…

I am using 1600 calories as my baseline for now. I figured I would start there and when I stopped losing weight I would decrease. I had planned on a 5 pound loss for this month. So far I have lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks.

Ok so has anyone else had this happen? I am working out at the gym and some at home on my off days. The day after I work out, I feel horrible. But the next after that day I am better. Plus, I am watching my calories and logging my food, but this week I have been really hungry...to the point that my stomach is growling and…

I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea about 10 years ago. I have been using a Bi-pap machine since then. The mask does take some getting used to, but if you stay with it...its gets easier. I don't miss a night without it. Before I was diagnosed my blood pressure would sky rocket out of control. I would have…

I had a terrific birthday party when I turned 50. All the ladies in my office decorated the entire suite in red and purple. They bought me a big red hat and a purple boa (which I proudly sported all day). We went to lunch at the local hot spot, The Opera House. They had invited my sisters to come join in the fun, and had a…

Re in TX—I have been doing the gel injections in my knees since 2007. It runs my blood sugar up for a few days but it’s worth it because I feel so much less pain afterwards. I do the Synvisc One. That’s where they give you all the shots in one fail swoop. I do it this way because I live 2.5 hours away from my ortho dr. It…

Betty- I use a recumbent bike, but if I ride more than twenty minutes at a time my hips hurt. So I have to break it up by walking on the treadmill and going back to it. I am a fluffy girl so the spinner bikes are hard on me right now. My granddaughter (5 years old) Kamari, had her tonsils out and repaired one of the tubes…

Kelly, may God hold you in the palm of his hand and give you comfort in your time of sorrow. OK, so I will give you a giggle at my expense for the day. I was sleeping so well this morning. I had only slept two hours the night before. I was dreaming it was the weekend and we could sleep late....then the alarm went off...…

DJ—You may have already tried this, but I have been told that pineapple juice helps with throat inflammation. Actually I read that it helps with inflammation in general, but I was told specifically to drink it when I have a sore throat. Sherry—Thank you for the Minion funnies. I love those. Yinka—gorgeous pic…

I made it to the gym after work last night. First time in about a year. I am definitely out of shape. But glad I went. Just going to have to take it slowly. Have a great day everyone. :)

Hello Everyone, Back from the doctor. Must have more tests, but the insurance has to pre-certify of course. So a CT scan and endoscopy are in the works for this month. In the meantime, my goals for February: 1. Watch less television at night. 2. Get back to the gym 3 times a week. 3. Drink 4 bottles of water a day. 4. Be…

Have a Dr. appointment tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. I have been having some stomach issues lately. Its either an ulcer or a problem with one of my meds. Keep me in prayer please.

Hello Ladies, I have been away for a while. I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I thought I would join back in if its OK for the support and motivation that helped me so much before I backslid. Now I am almost back at square one with my weight and I am so disgusted with myself for letting it happen. I am…

Hello Lovely Ladies, I made it through the procedure although I was horribly sick the entire day of the prep. I actually lost 2 pounds during that ordeal. All is good and don't have to go through it again for 5 years, YAY! My daughter and I went for the alterations fitting for her wedding dress yesterday. She passed out…

Morning Glorious Gals, It’s a beautiful day, but cloudy and still abundantly snow covered. This is now almost two weeks of snow. Doesn’t mother nature know this is Tennessee??? LOL. Tomorrow should be a great weight loss day for me. I am on clear liquids and test prep all day before the ultimate violation (colonoscopy ) on…

Good Morning Ladies, Wow! Did we get snow and ice here. I was off work all last week and was a very bad girl. I stayed home and sat on my backside and crocheted all week. Except for the times I got out and walked the dogs and fell in the snow on my bad knee. I would have busted my face too but my boobs broke my fall. After…

Thanks for all the kind words. I know this is where I need to be since you ladies helped me so much the last time I was here. I am trying to crochet more at night to help keep my mind and hands busy and out of the frig. However, last night, Jasmine didn't want me to crochet, she wanted my attention. ... the little diva dog.

Hi Ladies, I'm baaaccckkk!! I know I have been out for quite a while. Had a serious case of the blues because I had to be on medication that helped me gain back a significant amount of the weight I had lost. I was ashamed to show my face on this page after that... but now I have gotten over myself and I want to come back…
