TracyK, Great, I made the candy corn peanut mixture. Now I have one more thing in my house I don't NEED to be eating. But boy it sure is some good stuff.

Good Morning, getting a few things done before I head to work. Than from there I go see the Doc. Than a friend of mine moved about a month ago and I haven't seen her since. Well she only lives about 4 miles from there, so I'm gonna go over to her house for a visit. I probably won't be home till around 7pm. Long day for me. Everyone have a great day and ditto on the make the right choices. Just wish I could get that thru my head. Hugs to all.

Getting ready to go for my Sunday evening walk with the lady on the next block over. Dinner is partially made. I actually managed to sew for about 5 hours today. I loved it. I also got caught up on stuff that was recorded on TiVo. SNL was hysterical. Even hubby got a kick out of it. Haydee, I'm so glad you had a good day. I love balloons too. Sounds like the wedding was just what everyone needed. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Hugs to you all.

Beautiful day here again today. It's supposed to get up to 70. But it is very windy. I have a walking date for 6pm with the lady on the next street over. Today is also my Bandiversary date. 10-19-06. Down 170 pounds.:w00t: I have an appointment tomorrow and I'm kind of worried. I've been retaining fluid like crazy since we ate at a Irish pud a week and a half ago. My water pills don't seem to be doing the work. Anyway I still think I could use a little fill. So I'm hoping I get one. Me and TracyK in the same water boat. Have a great day.

Beautiful day here also. If you didn't get outside and enjoy it you missed it. I took doggie for a walk. This morning I took the sheets off the bed and washed my winter flannel sheets and put them on the bed. Also got the electric blanket out and put it on. Tonight I'm gonna be all snuggly warm. I got 2 really nice compliments at church this evening. It made me feel good. Nice to know that people notice the weight loss. Haydee, I was so relieved to hear how you are doing. Really glad to know that things sre going smoothly right now. Keep it up. We went out to dinner with some friends. We went to Golden Corral. I ate a butt load of veggies. I then decided to treat myself and I had one chocolate cookie and a lemon bar. I have my doctor's appointment Monday and I don't think it's going to go well. I've lost some but not that much and than on top of that I have had some water weight gain. You can see it in my cankles. I'm hoping that I get a little fill. Need it to help me get thru the holidays. TracyK, I still have my jar of peanuts and bag of candy corn. I'll wait a little longer till I mix them up together. Have a great evening and waitng patiently for Judy to return.

In my mind I will be at the beach today, but physically I will be at work. Pam, thanks for the update on the boys. I was wondering about how they were doing. Welcome Tonya. HH. I was banded Oct 06 and have lost 170lbs. Most of that was in the first year. This last year has been very slow. Infact I think in the last 3 months I have only lost about 10-15lbs. It's not my bands fault. It's mine. I need to get my head back in the game. I still have alot to lose. I've been super busy the last few days. The girl on second shift had surgery the other day and I am doing my shift and hers. Now I'm off to go cover her shift. TracyKS. I have Saturdays off till after January. Unless I cover for someone. So I'm planning on going to the support meetings. Give me a holler if you decide to go. Hope this will get me back on track. Everyone have a great weekend. ugs to you all.

Uggghhhhhhh. It's a wet Wednesday morning and cold. My alarm went off and it scared the crap out of me. I thought, WTH. Oh that's right, I still have to get up early on Wednesday. So off to work I go than to Wally World. Jane, sometimes I think the same thing. It's more in your imagination than you think. Hang in there. Is Judy getting hit by "OMAR". I hope she is safe. Have a great day.

See ya tonight.

I had one of those nights were I slept in the same position all night long. A very solid sleep. Luckly no stiff neck or anything. But I slept good. TracyK, Yes yesterday was my last getting up at 4:30am. I'm so relieved about that. The new girl is trained and she goes solo starting Thursday. I still have Wednesday morning that I have to get up early for, but that's ok. I only have to work a few hours and than I can head to Wal-mart before it gets busy. Jane, enjoy the manicure. I wish I could get one. My nails are a mess. I can never grow them out. I constantly am breaking them. I love being pampered though. Jenn, Purple Power to you so you start feeling better. TracyKS, That's my Halloween picture. I lure you in and than I scare you. See what I mean.........................

Took a 20 minute nap today. Felt good to do that. I was gonna take a walk but it's drizzling now. TracyKS. I took my sis-in-law one of the yellow bags with a t-shirt, a water bottle and a pen. She is one of my biggest supporters. I ate some peanuts earlier and they are settling well. Quite evening here tonight. Just going to take it easy.

TracyKS, Loved the pictures. Looked like you had a lot of fun. I just recently ran across an old high school friend on Facebook. We have sent several messages back and forth. It's so cool to reconnect. Having a hard time keeping my eyes open right now. Today was my last Monday to get up at 4:30am. I certainly won't miss it. Hugs Everyone

Jenn, I am in awe of you. I wish I was a DIY'er. Heck if I was my house would never be finished. I would always be finding something to do over. LOL Terry, Great picture of you all.

I had such a pleasant surprise at church this afternoon. Our priest is on vacation for the next 3 weeks and we have a step in priest till he gets back. Most times when for whatever reason he is gone, we usually have one of the monks from the Abby step in. Well tonight we had someone I hadn't seen in about 15 years. Afterwards I went up to him and said, "I know it's been along time but". and he said tell me your name. So I told him and he looked at me and said yes, I do remember you. He was the priest that married my husband and I 26 years ago. He is actually an old friend of my parents and friends. So I called my cousin this evening and told her and she and her husband are coming out next weekend and will go to church with us so they can see him. She hasn't seen him in about 10 years. It was so good to talk to him and can't wait till I see him again next weekend. Jane. No I don't put raisins in mine. I'm not really a raisin fan. But I do like to put cream cheese on mine after I slice it. I have even made the pumkin rolls. Those are so good but a hassle to make. This is my favorite time of the year. I love to bake alot. Just staying away from it is the hard part. TracyK. I still have the candy corn in the package and the jar of peanuts unopen. I'm afraid to make that stuff because if I like it to much it will be gone in no time. So I'm probably going to wait till after my appointment on the 20th. to make it. Sure is quite around here.

Jane, I took a knitting class a couple of years ago. I was working on making a scarf and my family laughed at it. I said you better becareful, this might be your christmas present. Anyway, I put it down and never went back to it. I might try it again after the first of the year. I'm glad the cross stitch is going good for you. I can't wait to get mine started. I sent in my donation for the walk, it's under your name. I went for my mile walk this morning and took doggie. A car pulled up behind me and I heard this "Hey Lady, I'm lost". It was my older nephew. I finished walking home and than hubby and I started mowing. This should be our last mow of the year. We'll have to mulch soon. All those leaves, yikes. Anyway, I mowed the backyard and than started on the side. Finished that and than started on the front. Finished that and decided I was finished myself. Sat on the deck for awhile and cooled off. Than took a shower and fixed a salad for lunch. I'm making pumpkin bread tonight. I'll take a loaf with us when we go to hubby's sister tomorrow. We haven't seen them in about 2 months. They live in Richmond which is about an hour from here. Hoping to see some fall colors. I'll check in later. Getting ready to go to church. Hugs to all.

I'm up but seriously thinking of going back to bed. My next door neighbor called last night and want me t come over and watch a movie with her. Mama Baby, I think that was the name of it. Tiny Fey and Amy Polson. It was cute. Didn't get home till about 9:30. I woke up about 2am and had some throw up in my throat. I think what happened was that I took my meds right before I went to bed. I always eat a few crackers or a cookie when I take my meds to help them go down. Well, I grabbed a piece of bacon. I think the meds and the grease and me horizontal was not a good thing. I hope Laura, Judy and Pam have a safe trip and enjoy themselves. Everyone have a great day.
