Jenn, Hope things get better for you. I went to my fill Doc today and I'm a loser. -7lbs. Yup, that was me on that scale today. I'm happy with it. Very happy with it.

Up and getting ready to start a new week and I got on the scale. So far my week is starting out right. Lost another pound. So right now I'm -2 for the July 5 pound challenge. Let's hope this week is a better one. Today I will be gone ALL day. I work and than leave for my fill Doc appointment, from there I go meet up with a long time friend of mine that I basically only get to see evey time I have a fill appointment. We spend about 5 hours getting caught up on each other. This will actually be something I need right now. Me time and get things off my chest. Laura, I've never tried Xanax or anything else like that. I do have my muscle relaxers from when I fell last year and broke my toe and twisted my knee. I take one about once a month. Otherwise a Margi every now and than does me good. LOL. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in late tonight.

So quiet here. For a minute I thought everyone was back in Ala. LOL.

Good Luck, Kat. Enjoy what you can.

Morning Girls. Laura, hopefully the ring will show up sometime. I do that, think I'm hiding something and than I forget where I put it. Months later I pick up a jar or box and it rattles. Yup, there it is. Good Luck. Got up this morning and woke my nephew up. We got something to drink and changed our clothes and than out the door we went. A little over a mile walk. I told him that it was not a free ride here. He was going to exercise with me and he was to go to work EVERYDAY. I don't care how bad he felt. Short of puking his guts out. He was to be out the door every morning. And he is to attend a NA meeting everyday, even if he had to walk to one. Just so happens there is one everyday close and someone will be able to go to each meeting with him. No excuses. He's still on the fine line with all of us. So far today he has vacummed to pool and my car. I'm not riding him real hard but he's not getting away with thinking this is a vacation. I'm not sure how long he will be here. The girlfriend is going to see how it goes and if he's making a effort. There is a lot om mending to do before she will allow him back into the house. He was clean from the time he got out of rehab but after his accident last week he got ahold of a few pills and couldn't keep me from finding out. Friday he was carrying a load of laundry down the stairs and cut a step short and went down 7 steps and landed on his back and neck. He's fine, nothing broke. But they did a tox-screen and that was when the girlfriend found out. Because he was a fall patient and at risk, they felt that it be best someone stay with him. My younger sis and I were at the ER and there is no way she could stay so it was left up to me. We are back on that long road again. Keep your fingers crossed that this time he stays straight. Talk about letting your eating get out of control. Well, you all will be very proud of me for keeping in great. Except for the cupcake last night I have been a model bandster. And believe me it has not been easy. Not one bit. I swear if there was a Dairy Queen ice cream cake here, I would eat the whole thing. Judy, We didn't swim yesterday. There was a bad storm all night and then it was just too cloudy and cool to go in. Today it's only supposed to get up to about 82 but the sun is shining, so we will see if I get in or not. Everyone have a great day. Terry have a safe trip and enjoy your time.

Awwww, Terry that sounds so nice. Glad you finally get a Happy day. Laura, So glad you liked the clothes. I had a hard time find anything elephant. But hope those do. I got to the hospital yesterday and they decided to keep him over night. They wanted to make sure that he didn't fall or pass out again. So guess who got to spend the night with him? Yup, your'e right. They had a very comfortable cot in there but the room was 72 degrees and I froze all night long. I had to get up 3 times during the night to go potty and it was all the way down the hall. Doc came in around 10:30 and released him but it wasn't till around noon that we got out. I called hubby nad he left right away to come and get us but the hospital they took him to was 45 minutes away. I got home and had to get the spare room ready for him because he is now living with us for awhile(can you hear how happy I am?) Than I had to take a shower, get dressed and get to church because it was my night to work. Came home and started getting food ready for everyone to eat. One saving grace, my Aunt called and said the they weren't coming out and would probably see us tomorrow. I finally have about 30 minutes to myself and wanted to come here and wish you all a very Happy 4th. Stay safe and have a great time. :smile2: Happy 4th.

So, I get back from taking care of my sister only to get 3 calls telling me that my nephew has been in his second accident in one week. I'm off to the ER now to see what is going on. Neither of his parents can make it so it is up to my younger sis and I to take care of the 3 kids. No wonder I never had any. I'm too busy taking care of everyone else's. I'll post later when I get back. Very stressful around here. Anyone got any chocolate????????????

Woke up at 5am to go potty and got back into bed and my mind started racing. No sense in laying there and getting mad. So I'm up and actually have about an hour to myself before my chaotic life starts for the day again. Major sister problems going on here and both of them have me running ragged. Between the ER and Doctor appointments and all the other stuff they require, it's a wonder I even have time to kiss the hubby along the way. And than on top of all that my 5 year old cousin is in ICU at Children's Mercy. Good news is she made it thru her surgery yesterday and the Doc's are pleased and said after staying for probably 2 weeks she should be able to go home. So looks like I'll be making a few trips down there also. I have actually managed to make it into the pool twice this week for about 30 minutes each time. Forgive me for not beng able to go thru pages of post to get caught up on everything. I just hope all is fine with everyone. Maybe sometime next week I can sit back and read everything. Well, off to go take my shower and head over to my sister. If I don't get back on here for awhile, I just want to wish everyone a very Happy and safe 4th of July. If anyone is traveling, please be safe and enjoy your time. Chat at you soon.

Suzanne, Happy Bandiversary. Congrats on the weight loss also. You are doing great. I'm off to go get rid of the 4 pans of brownies. Have a great evening.

Most of the housework is done. I fixed a salad for lunch and now I'm headed to the shower. After church we are headed off to a BBQ. Remember a couple of months ago I took that Reboot class? It was a 6 week 3 nights a week with a personnal trainer. We'll one of the girls lives at the Lake and has invited all of us over. It will be good to see how everyone has been doing. Hope TracyK is having a good time. Kat, You still with me?????

Laura, Did they have your baby shower for you yet? And if they did, will those clothes I sent fit Carson?

Saturday morning. They are calling for storms tonight but I hope they hold off. We are supposed to go to a BBQ tonight out at the Lake. I'm bringing polish sausages, watermelon and grapes. I wanted to bring something light and tasty and thought that would do it. I baked 4 pans of brownies last night. We are having a bake sale at church this weekend. I'm so glad that I don't have to cut them up because I would only end up snacking on them. Well, off to go start on my housework. We have a small pool party planned for tomorrow and I need to start cleaning the house. Have a great day.

Good night Suzanne, sleep tight and see you in the morning.

All by myself, Don't wanna be All by myself anymore.

Hi Pammie. Home from work and the grocery store. Now I have to get ready to go back into work to cover the evening shift for another girl. How do I get myself into these positions???? TracyK, have a great time.

Morning. Once again up and getting ready for work. Than off to the bank and grocery store. We have a BBQ to go to tomorrow night and I need to figure out what to take as a side dish. Also Sunday we are having a party here. The girls we work with at the hospital and their families are coming over for a pool day. So shopping and than house cleaning are on my agenda. My sister called late last night. She just went on and on about Jack's car accident. Finally got her calmed down so I didn't have to take her to the ER. TracyK, wanted to remind you to keep drinking your water. And did you decide on what you are going to use to keep yourself regular? I still do the oatmeal thing everyday. Keeps me full for a very long time and also keeps me going. 108 degrees. the guy on the news just said the heat index was going to be 108 today. Yikes. Make it a good one.

So quite around here. :thumbup:

Evening Girls. We had leftover ribs for dinner and a few baked beans. I was going to fix corn on the cob but felt like I was pushing it. I'll save those for tomorrow night, maybe grill some burgers to go with them. Nice quite evening around here. I finished watching Benjamin Button. Not real impressed with it. Going to bed early. I'm working a full shift for a girl at the other store. Hope the girls in Ala. are having a great time and not fighting over Carson. Night Kat and Tracy.

Wow. Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both dead. OMG.

Kat, that is in reference to me shedding pounds. I quite shedding hair about a year ago but it remained very thin for a long time. I started eating a handful of peanuts a day and gradually it started to come back in thicker. I didn't have to worry about covering up my thin part on top. I still have thin hair and wish it was really thick and long. I have never been able to grow my hair past my shoulders without it looking really straggely.

Checking in. Car is at the shop getting brakes. They called while we are at Bass Pro and told me it was going to be more expensive than they thought. About $150.00 more. By the way, did I mention that Hubby is retired, LOL. Took my Sis to the Doc'sand than stopped by a friends that was having a garge sale. We went to the store to get her prescriptions when I looked at my phone and there was 3 messages. I looked and saw my niece had calle, my nephew had called and my hubby had called. I knew it wasn't going to be good. Sure enough, my younger nephew had been in a serious accident. We got to the hospital and they took my sister back to see him. I finally got to go back and sit with him when the Doc came in. She said that all the reports came back and all looked good. No broken bones or head trauma. He's pretty beat up though. The car is totaled. Doc said that he'll be pretty sore for a few days, so I told him to come over and get in the pool. I asked him if he had taken anything and he swore up and down that he was clean and that they did do a tox-screen on him. They wouldn't give him any pain meds, just some muscle relaxers and some Ibuprofen. He's really lucky that he had his seat belt on and that the bags went off. His arms ar pretty scraped up from the bags. I'm gonna do some housework while hubby is taking a nap, maybe watch "The curious case of Benjamin Button" tonight. Have a good one.

Laura, I went to that site. As I understand it all I have to do is update my info and referral. They just use a points system and a random pick. Let me know if there is anything else we have to do.

Morning Girls. Up and a little groggy. I had Montezuma's revenge at 1:30 am. Not sure if it was the jalapeno or the over size margi that caused it. But I'm all cleaned out now. LOL. I have to take sis to a Doc appointment this morning than take the vehicle over to goodyear for some new brakes. Hubby is gonna pick me up there and we are off to Bass Pro. We have some gift cards we need to get used up. Everyone have a safe travel day. Kat and Tracy and I will keep this site going for you. Can't wit to see pics of all of you. Have a good day.

Hey, Home from the mexican restaurant. I could have sworn I ordered a Grande Margarita but he brought out a Jumbo. Everyone said that is what I did order. Hmmmm... It was very good, all of it. Don't know how dinner was. To full to eat. LOL. Thank You everyone for the Birthday wishes. It was a great day. Hubby and I spent about 2 hours in the pool together and we had a good time. Just a big ole lazy day. All my traveling Girls. Please be safe and have a great time.
