TracyK, I found my saving grace in Oatmeal. It's the Quaker Oats that is High Fiber. I eat it every morning and now I have regular movements. I'm almost back to normal. Give it a try if you like oatmeal.

Morning. Michelle. That is why I can't eat after 7pm. Gives my pouch time to settle down. Otherwise I'm eating rolaids at 3am. Judy, Thank You so much for the very Lovely gift. I was ready some of it to Hubby last night. That was so nice of you. Hubby is out getting ready to cut the grass and I'm getting ready to go have lunch with some friends. Than I have to work later today so no swim time for me. :smile2: Everyone have a great day and don't forget that it's CTCD.

Hey Girls, Hot and very Hot here. Just a regular day here for me except that we did drive up north this evening for the visitation. Pete was a Police Officer so it was packed with Officers. I got to see alot of cousins also. We swam for about an hour today. Did I mention it was Hot here? Have a great evening.

Even though it's been a little while since I have lost my Dad, it's days like today that bring it all back. Pam, I was thinking of you today and wishing that you had a very nice day even though it must have been a tough one for you. I know people say it gets better with time but for me I don't see it. It still hurts as much now as it did back then. We swam most of the day. Neighbors came over, Nephew and the kids came over. Now I'm getting laundry done and getting prpared for tomorrow. Yesterday morning a cousin of mine's husband passed away. He was 48 and had been battleing brain cancer for a short time. The visitation is tomorrow night and I'm sure it's going to be a big one. He was Police Officer. They have two small boys. Sure is going to be tough for all of them. BIL is out in back smoking ribs for our dinner. Here it is almost 7pm and he's no where done. Looks like I'll have to eat mine tomorrow. They know I don't eat after 7pm. That way I don't have to take so many rolaids during the night. Crimany. Oh well. Hope everyone had a great day. Happy Anniversary Judy and Bob.

Good Sunday Morning. Kat, I'm very sorry about your loss. May her memories bring a smile to your heart. Not much on my agenda today. I'm taking my sis to the grocery store. Than it's home to stay cool and comfortable. Hot weather all week long. Have a great day.

Just got home from work. Way To Go Tracy. You are very impressive. Terry, How cool to have a gym buddy. That's neat. There's a few ladies that come into work together to exercise. I'm more of a do it alone person, but I do like on fridays when hubby and I go together. Spitting rain here. Not sure what the evening weather is going to be like. Tomorrow they are calling for, Hot, Hot, Hot. I say, Pool, Pool, Pool. I stayed after work today and shampoo'ed the carpet. Oh Yuck that water was black. Nasty. But now all will be exercising in a very clean facility. Yeah Me. Chat at ya later.

Terry, Congrats on all of the good news. What a relief for all of you. TracyK, I read your post and waited for the quiz part. ???? I too am jealous of everyne going on the trip. One time I will go with you guys. Trying very hard not to fall asleep before bedtime. I have a full day ahead of me tomorrow and don't want to be up all night. Laura, good luck on your 5 oclock cravings.

Morning Girls. Survived the mowing (very Hot). Survived the pool (SPF 70). Survived the night out witht the girls and loved the play. Now I'm up to cover a shift for a girl whose daughter is getting married this weekend. Pam, I haven't been to SD since about 1970. Bet I wouldn't even recognize it. I had a Aunt and Uncle that lived in Poway and we used to go visit them every now and than. They are calling for storms later today. I hope they hold off till evening so i can get some pool time in again. Everyone have a geat day.

5am. and I'm safe. Tired, but safe. Today is our day to volunteer to cut the grass at church. It usually takes about 6 hours. It's supposed to be really hot and humid so we are going to try to get started by 6am. I hired the kid down the street to help us but he has summer school and so we don't know if he'll help out for about an hour or so. I'd like to get done in time to spend about an hour in the pool. Tonight I'm going with a group of women from work to a Play. It's called "Lucky Stiff". And than I have to be back up in the morning to work the early shift for a girl. Her daughter is getting married this weekend so I'm covering her shift for her. One of my problems is that one of my meds causes a little bit of dry mouth. So I usually go thru about 10 lifesavers or so kind of hard candy a day. So that's about 250 calories a day that I shouldn't be getting. And yes, it's sugar free. I've asked the Doc if I can come off the meds and she said not yet. It may be a while. I'm a grazer(sp?) also. Really it's just a lot of mindless eating. Habitual. And a very hard habit to break. Kat, your trip sounds wonderful. I love the Grand Canyon. Been there about 4 times. Enjoy yourselves. Everyone have a great day and don't forget that it's CTCD. Laura, That's too bad that nurse didn't listen to you. What a wonderful site this has turned out for all of us. Believe me, it has really helped me and I hope it has been a big help for everyone that comes here and lurks, LOL. 5am and already 80 degrees. Gonna be a tough one out there mowing. Lots of Gatorade today. And water.

Morning Girls. Up and getting ready for work than my weekly shopping. Than it's pool time. Supposed to be really hot and humid the next few days. Laura, I ditto what they are all saying. TracyK, Welcome back. That was fast. Tomorrow is our day to cut grass at the church. I hired the kid down the street to help but he can only give us an hour. They are calling for it to 90 degrees. Yikes. I'll get some gatorade at the store today. Everyone have a great day.

Morning Girls, I also could not get on here last night. I hate that. Up and showered. I need to get dressed so I can go have lunch with some friends. I may tell them today after all these years that I'm banded. They have no clue, but one of them has been questioning me about some remarks that have been made on facebook. "What's a band wagon"? lol. Than I have to work tonight. So sad because it is excellent swimming weather. I know where my family will be while I'm slaving away. A very busy week ahead still. I'm covering some extra shifts and it also is our week to cut the grass at the church. How exciting about Haydee. I'm looking forward to hearing about all of the arraingments. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in later. Don't forget that it is CTCD.

So nice to log in and find everybody. I took a muscle relaxer before going to bed but woke up all achy anyway. I think it's the weather here. Cool and wet. I cooked some bacon and fixed 1 egg for me. I've put a pork roast in the oven and I will shred it when it's done cooking. We will use it for sandwiches for the next few days. I have a really busy, I mean really busy schedule this week. And so the meat will come in handy. Tracy, Have a safe trip. Michelle, I love our backyard. It's not real fancy or anything, just homey. We spend a lot of time out there. I think our neighbors are tired of seeing us already. Everyone have a great day.

So glad to finally be back on here, missed all of you. Had our support group this morning, it was really interesting. Had a great time. Came home and made lunch and than took a little itty-bitty nap. Went to church than came home and helped hubby put our umbrella together and up. It will be over the pool so that I can float on the raft and not be in the sun all the time. Can't wait for thursday when the sun comes back out. Super busy week ahead for me. Filling in some shifts and it's our week to mow at the church. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Tracy, have a great trip and we will miss you.

Happy Birthday Terry. Thanks for the new thread. That was so frustrating last night. I hate not being able to check up on everyone. I posted(I think) last night, but nothing important. Just vented about how I couldn't get on here. I have a support group meeting also than nothing for the rest of the weekend. I'll have to think of something to do so I just don't laze around. Everyone have a great weekend.

Home from work and it was extra boring tonight. Oh well. I'm home and that is what counts. Leftovers for dinner. Judy, I wish I could go swimming when it's in the high 70's or low 80's. I just start to shiver when I do. My body is still trying to regulate itself without all that extra weight to keep it warm.
