I can sit again and it feels wonderful. Doc took the stitches out and said everything healed up real good but that I'm not to exercise for at least 2 weeks. Good thing my Boot Camp is over with. (not sure he realized I exercised with them in, hmmmm) Stopped on the way home at Burger King and got hubby a burger and fries. Got me a garden salad. So I munched on a few of the fries on the way home and now I can't eat the salad. So guess what is for dinner??? Welcome back Haydee, I missed you.

Nothing like a nice bright sunshiny day to let you know that your windows need to be washed.

Good Morning Girls. Got up this morning and the sun is shining brightly. I love it. Just what the Doctor ordered. Supposed to get up into the sixties today. Leaving here in a couple hours to go get my stitches taken out. I'm excited. I haven't been able to sit comfortably for two weeks now. Pam, I echo what everyone has said but I'm going to add my two cents worth. I too have my days when I wonder what both of my parents think of me, Have I made them proud? You know as well as I do that deep within our hearts that they are beaming. I would give anything to see my parents face now that I have lost a lot of weight. They knew what a struggle it was for me, just as your parents knew how hard your pursuit was for you. I carry with me the thought that I know that they are proud of me because what I did was what they always wanted for me. To be happy. That's all our parents ever want for us. Too be truly Happy. Your getting your Doctorate and having a person in your life that loves you more than anything are what make you truly happy and your parents know that. Go with their blessing. Go knowing Susanne backs you 100% and Go knowing that all of your Violet Sisters wish you nothing but the best. We are truly proud of you. I won't be around my computer so somebody(Tracy) will have to text me. I eagerly wait the good news. Janie, hope you get to feeling better. It's CTCD, so everybody be on your best behavior.

Janie, enjoy your free evening. I already have my jammies on and getting ready to hunker down. Just finished dinner. 1/4 of a pork chop, scalloped taters, green bean casserole and black olives. Yummy. Now if will just stay down. Have a great evening.

Kat, the 25 pounds will get me closer to my goal. I'm doing it in the smaller increment so it seems more reachable. Believe me, when I reach this new goal all of you will know it. It's huge for me. Sorry about you not feeling good. Did you pull something or twist wrong? Hopefully it will clear up soon.

Good Morning Girls. Well, I decided to go ahead a weigh myself this morning. I prepared myself that no matter what it said, I would claim it and go forth with it. So, I get on the scale and it cetainly wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. But this is where I start at. With the Holidays over with and Judy back from vacation, it's time to buckle down and get busy again. Swimsuit season is coming up and although I won't be buying a new suit, I would like for the ones I have to be looser(?) on my. I have a huge milestone in my weightloss journey coming up and I am hoping to be there by my birthday. That's my next goal. Everyone have a great week. Hugs to you all.

I AM stuffed. My nephew was over and we were all talking about Peeps. He said that if you put one in the microwave that it will blow up. So I told him to get one so we could try it. He looked at me like I was crazy. So we put it in and started it. It kept getting bigger and bigger, never did blow up but just got all puffy. I took it out and it deflated. It smelt like a roasted marshmallow, so I tried it and it tastes just like it. I only tried just a little bit. Threw the rest away. Man I'm stuffed.

Good Easter Morning. The Ham is in the oven baking, I'll pull it out and glaze it later and than have Hubby take it out while I'm at church. Mass doesn't start till 11am. I'm either a Eucharistic Minister or an Usher today. I can't remember which one. Oh Great Pam, you mean I could have been stuffing my face with my little peeps for the last 2 days???? So sad here. I love shrimp and we have it periodicly. My dad was a huge shrimp eater. He taught us girls at an early age that when we were done eating, how to keep peeling shrimp for him to eat. I still do that to this day. If there is any shrimp left over I just sit at the table and peel all of it. Makes it easier to just pop in your mouth as you pass the fridge. It's supposed to get up into the fifties today but they are calling for rain later on. Glad we got the grass cut yesterday. Have a great day. God Bless all of you.

Way to go Tracy. I had a couple of bites of catfish and a salad for lunch. Both were really good. Tonight I will be going out with the girls from my exercise class right after class for dinner. I'm hoping it will be mexican. Took another nap today and it felt good. It rained all morning and it was cold. Sun is shining now and it's 54 degrees. Terry, just a reminder that it's BASEBALL season. Go Royals.

Up and drinking my hot cocoa and watching the news. It's cold and rainy here. Will be raining for about the next 4-5 hours. Jane, I've never heard of the medicine. I know several people that have to use the cpap, but no one has ever said anything about taking meds with it. Good luck. I'm trying real hard right now to get my head back in the game. This darn Easter candy is calling my name and to top all of it off I have a Doctor's appointment this week. I bought my ham already and will be making all the side dishes for it. I'm already conditioning myself to have restraint. It's gonna be tough. Everyone have a great day. Carson's coming soon. Maybe the Easter Bunny will bring him with all the eggs and candies.

Hey, we are home from our shift at the hospital. It was real busy when we got there but soon died down. We had a great time. We really enjoy the girls we work for. Heather, I gave up Easter candy for Lent, so my peeps are sitting in a tied up bag in the spare room till Sunday. I just love those little things. Pammie and Jenn, I mailed your packages today. Look for them probably Monday. Pam, yours went to the P.O. I think that just leaves TracyK and Laura, am I missing anyone??? Let me know. I got called into work for tomorrow. I have to be up at 4:30 am. ugh, it'll be ok. I can do this. TracyKS, will you be at the support group meeting Saturday? I hope so. I need a Tracy-fix.
