  1. Back home from Hobby Lobby, now need to get started on x-mas gifts. Jenn, hugs to you. I've never had to go thru anything like that so I'm at a loss for words. Just know I'm sending you all my good vibes. Hang in there. Tracy, woot woot. You go girl.
  2. Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain and more rain. That's how my day is going. Michelle, welcome back and we did miss you. Tracy, good luck on your fill today. You have inspired me. Jenn, I am so sending all my vibes to you so that all goes your way in court today. Good Luck. Hi everyone else. Yup, it's raining all day here. I have to work the afternoon shift so it probably won't be to busy. Nobody ever wants to get out in the cold dreary rain to exercise. I'll take a game with me to work to keep me busy. Have a great day and I'll check in soon.
  3. You both scare me. . :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :thumbup:
  4. Poor Cindy, I hope the little pumpkins survived the night. I never have to worry about my husband doing anything like that, he doesn't know what the inside of a store looks like. I'm the problem. I buy the stuff, it's all me. Someday I will learn.
  5. Hey All, Home from work. I ate dinner and now I'm catching up on "All My Children". Than it's off to bed. I'm pooped. Tomorrow is another very busy day for me. I'm looking forward to Sunday. Nothing so far is planned for that day. My eating was out of control today. I'm thinking it was because I went to the Docs yesterday and I know I don't have to see him for a while. Kinda like on the day you weigh in at WW and than head to a restaurant to pig out. I need to get some of what Tracy and Jenn have and get my head back in this game. The 5 pounds down is great and I will take it. It's just that I have been at this for so long that I've lost patience with myself. I'm back to that way of thinking that I want it and I want it now. Hope you all had a great day.
  6. Little Miss Piggy has been at it again today. Will se ever stop??????????
  7. Good Morning Folks. Left my house at 5:30am yesterday and didn't get back home till 10:30pm. It was a very long day but a very enjoyable day also. First it was my six hour shift at work and than off to the Doc's office. I'm down 5 pounds, not real happy about it but I'll take it. I was hoping for at least 8 pounds because of being sick last week. We had a good talk about that and I found out that I should have called for some nausea med. Left there and it was off to go meet up with my friend Judy. We met at a Chinese Buffet. Holy cow, that was all I needed. So we sat in the restaurant for 3.5 hours talking and enjoying the conversation and laughing. It was such a good time. I miss her being close to me. Wish I could see her more often. So I left there and had to drive all the way home to get hubby and BIL so we could drive back to the Casinos. It was my nephews 21st. B-day. We ended up gambling for about 30 minutes and was out $10.00. Ran into some cousins and than we headed to the Buffet. I could barely eat anything and it was a waste of $15.00. We didn't eat till about 9:15pm. I hate eating that late at night. So far today I'm having a quiet day. I have a few things to do around the house and than I have my afternoon shift. Sometime in there I need to get some walking in. I'm up to date on Flash Forward and I find it very intriguing. I'm also watching Mercy. I hope they don't get me hooked and than cancel the shows. The Halloween candy is still put away, may stay that way till saturday. Have a great day everyone. Hi Janie, I miss you alot.
  8. Good Morning. I have a super duper busy day today. Work and than have to head over ot Kansas for my appointment with my Band Doc. Than meet my friend Judy for a couple of hours and than drive all the way home to pick Hubby up to drive back to the Casinos. Today is my nephews 21st B-day and we are going out to dinner. I'm gonna be worn out tonight. I most likely will not get a fill. I really don't think I need one. What I need to do is to keep away from the halloween candy. I need to quit thinking that I can eat it all. I know I have lost weight but not as much as I should have and that's what I hate. Have a great day and I will check in late this evening.
  9. Night everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend.
  10. Back home from my trip to Columbia to see Janiebug. It was so good to see her and I gave her hugs from everyone. I just enjoy spending time with her, wish we lived closer. I wish I could show you a pic of us but we didn't take any. Oh well, maybe next time. I just called her to tell her I made it home and she still had about 20 more miles to go. We met at Olive Garden and then went over to the Mall and walked. We stopped at the food court and got Orange Julius's and sat and talked for about an hour. Next spring I'm gonna try to go spend a few days with her and seee her part of the State.
  11. Hey Folks. Went to work this morning and did a 4 hour shift, stopped on the way home and got 2 slabs of ribs at our local BBQ place. They were on sale for $12.99 each. I got to eat one rib and it was yummy. Our church did a Boo Fest in the Gym and I went over there. It was so cool. I hope the kids all had a great time. After I got home, Sis and her hub took us out to a place to show us some peoples house's were they really went all out decorating for Halloween. They did an awesome job on both places. I love this time of year. In the morning I will get up and get ready to drive to Columbia for the day. Gonna meet up with Jane and spend some time with her. It's about a 2 hour drive for her and about 1 and 45 minutes for me. I enjoy the times we get together. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
  12. I managaed to get down a scrambled egg and a piece of toast. It made hubby happy that I ate something. My tummy is still trying to decide. I did buy some gatorade at the store, hoping that will help with the potassium.
  13. It was 37 when I left for the store this morning. It's 40 now and I'm thinking about taking doggie for a walk around the block. I hate going to the store when I'm not in the mood for food. But somehow I managed to spend $113. Some of it was a friend's mother passed away and she has a housefull of people from out of state, so I took deli meats and cheeses and some other stuff over to the house.
  14. I had a terrible night last night. Didn't get much sleep and at one point had to get up because I had a charly horse in my leg. Must be from all the fluids going in and coming out. Good thing I will have time for a nap today. As I am slowly getting better, the rest of the family is starting to get sick. Ughh. I've never seen Grey's. But I did start Mercy this year, hope they don't pull it. I also started Forgotten and I read yesterday that they might take it off the air. I hate that they do that.
  15. I once wore a size 8 in shoes.
  16. Laura, keeping your MIL in my prayers.
  17. Top half is doing better, bottom half is......well, let's not go there.
  18. Those shape-ups, are they the rolley polley shoes? the ones that make you rock back and forth?
  19. I weigh once a week and that's because I deal with water weight.
  20. Morning Girls. Woke up about a half hour ago and decided to go ahead and get out of bed. I'm feeling a little better. Tummy is a little upset so I'm sipping more 7up. Rain, rain, rain. For about the next 3 hours, and than the temps are supposed to start dropping. 59 right now and 50 by around 4pm. At least it's not snow yet. LOL.
  21. Irene, super letter. I started out on WW and lost alot going into this surgery. I continued to go to the meetings till about a year ago. I only missed the meeting of the week after my surgery, and no one but the instructor ever knew that I had the band. I hit a plataeu right around this time last year and decided that the money was a waste. Why pay someone to tell me I had gained a 1/2 pound or didn't lose any at all. Well, in the last year I have managed to lose only about 35lbs. Yes a loss but I keep reminding myself that it could have been so much better. That I am better than that. Still can't figure out where my head is but we aren't out of the game completely. I did weight this morning and am still at the same weight. I haven't eaten since Sunday morning but have drank a boat load of diet 7up. There's new sheets on the bed. Jammies are all washed and I made a pot of Cheesy Tater soup for dinner tonight. I think I'll crawl into my jammies and grab my blanket and hit the remote and get caught up on a few shows. As far as work goes. I have called in replacements but the girl that does the south store in the morning was already working and everyone else has kids that they have to get up and get ready for school. My shift on Wednesdays is 6am to 8am, so it really wasn't that bad. I pretty much stayed away from everyone and used a lot of GermX. I don't have to be at work for a couple of more days now. Plenty time to get me feeling 89%.
  22. I'm alive, barely. But alive. I'll spare you all the nasty details but suffice it to say that the worst is still to come out of me. I did manage to eat about 3/4 cup of chicken noodle soup last night and it tasted good. I tried to get someone to cover my shift this morning, but nope. So I have to go in. At least it's only for 2 hours. When I get home I'm gonna strip the bed and get my room all cleaned up. Maybe let hubby back in bed with me. lol. Tweety, I had been on Weight Watchers going into my surgery and had lost a lot of weight. Enough that my Doctor did not require a pre-op diet for me. Good Luck and keep us posted. I am continually rubbing my collar bones. It's so foreign to me. And now I'm discovering hip bones. It's so weird and I love it. Have a good day and I'll check in soon. Thanks for all the well wishes, I appreciated all of them.
  23. First time out of bed in 18 hours. Need to get blood flowing in a different direction. Headed back to bed now. I'll check in when I feel up to getting out of bed again. Thanks for the well wishes but the post about all the food is getting to me. :cursing:
  24. Still sipping the ginger ale. Tummy has kinda growled a little and I have a hankerin for some turkey and stuffing. I'm just not going to push it. I may get a few crackers out and try them if I feel better. Candy Corn is no longer allowed in my house. At least not until my Doc appointment next week. I actually have 2 bags but they are put away and I will not get them out till after I see him. I have 5 totes of Fall and Halloween stuff. My favorite time of the year. I put it all up and than after Halloween, I take that stuff down and put it away and than after Thanksgiving I put all of that stuff away. What little Christmas stuff I have doesn't come out till about 2 weeks before. I hate early decorating. It drives me crazy to have all the Christmas stuff out for too long.
  25. I stopped on the way home and got a case of diet 7up and a case of Ginger Ale. Working on that right now. Got my electric blanket turned on and just cuddled up for now. I'll try the soup later, don't feel like eatiing :confused: right now.
