Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
Hi gals just getting in from work, health dept is coming in tomorrow, it was nice they called but... that meant we had to get some basic scrubbing done... i'm beat and my feet hurt and swollen... great... just in time for my fill appt tomorrow. That is why I try to schedule appts after my day off to get rid of my swelling, but i'm going in, telling him what has been going on, and getting a fill. period. Everyone is baking away... good for you all, i don't have the will power to do it. Pam - hope you feel better night everyone

Morning gals What a day already. I did so good yesterday and then got a little bummed and lost it and ate myself silly. I'm happy i'm not really gaining but i'm bumming. Did anyone watch the finale of the biggest lossser last ngiht? The girl with the dark hair who was one of the final 4... when she left and they showed her going home and her struggle where she was crying, saying she was comfortable where she was and needed change.. well that hit the nail on the head for me, I was crying like a baby... I feel that way, once the compliments were rollling in I seemed to be content and stuck, besides all the ther stuff in my life that I'm' trying to change. SOOOOOOOOOO I picked up the phone and called my Dr today to make a fill appt, and It was either tomorrow or Jan 17, and I would like to eat xmas dinner but I can't wait another month. so, tomorrow it is, I'll have mushies for xmas and I don't care... I want to be thinner and I don't need food to make me that way. I am anxious about my ss gift, it went in the mail last week and still not there yet... any day, I don't have patience... I want you to have it right now... last week would have been good. I hope you all have a good day, I'm trying... your energy is all good. and I've been wearing my necklace from Terry and my mom brought me this great bracelet from AZ so I think the 2 of them are helping. Mom wanted to send me to a life coach, I am thinking about it to help me go in the right direction, I have things I could do but I need to focus on 1 and get there. ttfn

That is funny I had the same card at kat. I looked for a month until I found the one I loved. I just can't get cards to get them -(shhhhhhhhhh don't tell, but I'm slightly mental at times) Yup Judy... can you imagine .75 that is it. And yes, I'm learning all the bad things I can eat again, although i've only gained a couple, up and down i go so maint. is not going to be a problem, just getting the last 30 off, but if i get to 1.5 or 1.75 I think I'll be golden. but i am working out hard so that has to count for something. dbf just told me i need to wait til the 1st of the year to get to my next jean size because he is tapped until then... I told him not to worry. LOL Well, I lost my thought.. got a phone call, so i'm off to the gym before I lose what motivation i have left

Morning everyone Yesterday was a crazy day, cleaning up more snow and ice and then physical for both kids, and then dinner and we picked up mom at the airport. so DD who is only measured at 5'5 1/2" (NO WAY) she must have not been standing straigt because I measured 5'5" and she is at least 2" taller than me now weighs in at 143. I told her I am going to have to put my foot down. she is getting a little belly (very tiny) and a butt.... so after the holidays she is going to change how she is eating and start going to the gym. I keep reminding her how I have been struggling and ask her if she wants to be like that... she says no but continues to not care. Denise - I lost 23lbs total when I had dd, and that was at the end when I actually did gain a little at the end, threw up the entire 9 months and in the delivery room ordered a pizza the second she was out. LOL I would walk out the door with the temp change in the winter and puke... my neighbors loved me LOL Yup... I have decided... I am going to make an appt for the 1st week in jan - I need a fill... .75 in my 4cc band is just not cutting it right now... I am glad everyone is doing well, I will make it through the holidays and I can't wait for our trip in May. I wish i was going somewhere now. It is so cold here I'm stuck inside and need sunshine.

OMG.... was I sleep typing. LOL Tracy - this is me every day... which is not helping me get out of this horrible funk I'm in. I work and do dishes and clean every day for 8-10 hrs at work and I can't get my dd to do a single thing... and I freak and cry every day but still nothing. The only way things got done today is because she didn't want to listen to grammy nag at her when she gets back tomorrow. I made a pot of black bean/ sausage soup today too. It is now freezing rain out

Morning gals TracyK - trust me, every morning I get up, say it is a new day and it will all be good, today is the day - if you notice on my signature, I've even been going to the gym 3-4 times a week - which is not always so easy, but I have been trying so hard. Terry - I have been wearing it for the last 2 days. and I love love love it, so I am positive it will help. As for a fill, I'll make an appt the beginning of the week to get in. I am having a hard time, and need a fill. I do everything he wants me to and right now I can eat anything, in small amounts but don't hve much of a limit on what I can eat. I need to go back to post surgery diet. liquids for a couple of weeks I just got in from snowblowing my driveway, which side by side you can fit 6 cars, the front of my house and walkway - and got my neighbor out. He is older and should not be shoveling, he has had heart issues. if it snows on the weekend i try to beat his kids out there *they are my age* but shovel and where the plows go through 3 feet from the edge of the road, it is wet, icy snow so I always try to at least get rid of that for them. 45 mins to do 2 yards, got to love the blower. Afriend was going to plow me out last night while I was at work but I said no thanks... we are going to get dumped on from the same storm Michelle is going to get Sat night into Sunday 1-2 feet of snow is being predicted here, so I need to keep it good so there is room for all that snow. I have to share the drive with mom now so I need to do the entire driveway. i'm going to drink coffee and warm up

Morning gals just checking in drinking my coffee. Scale was still 210 this morning. I only had 1000 high protein cals yesterday and did a super workout... how frustrating to me. Patience and trust right? Hopefully after a couple of weeks of this workout I'll feel like I'm shaping up if nothing else. but since it has only been a week I don't feel it yet. I am so far behind on xmas cards and stuff, I am going to try really hard to get it together this weekend. Today is my 10hr day at work, so I don't know what I'm going to get done today. hope everyone has a great day today

Pam - I'm sorry to hear about suzanne... and omg I thought the closet was done. LOL Suzie - LOL that was good Tracyks - you are so cute well, i just got home from work and going to bed, i'm so tired I didn't even realize the firetrucks were driving down my street to put out a fire at 3am. the firehouse is volunteer and there is only 1 house between me and the station, so usually when they go out at night I am on the ceiling. Well, my dd told me it sounded like the neighbor town trucks came up the hill and around the back of the house.. I guess I'm tired night all

We have a great recipe for Margaritas with frozen lime juice, they are yummy. i have great sweet & sour pucker too, taste great with rasp ice crystal light. it is not as heavy or sweet as margaritas and it is a pretty color blue too. I'm so glad you are getting your car back so you can get out, I know I go nuts being stuck in the house for a few days with the kids.

I give just not going to have time to say everything I was trying to. I am dressed and waiting for ds to get motivated, he is in one of his stop modes today. He drove keri (speech therapist) nuts today. she asked if I was going to bring him to sitters today and when I said no, she wished me luck... GREAT.. so tomorrow morning he will be out of here! LOL I hope to have ss gift in the mail Sat or Monday at the latest. There is no way I can get it out today with ds. I am going to make an appt with my primary today, my glands in my throat hurt to touch and feel a little swollen, which scares the crap out of me, plus the migraines I've been having for the last week, and I'm out of water pills. well, Pam I am super jealous - I hope Garth comes to Albany

sorry - it is crazy here, phone ringing off the hook, ds's speech therapist (my good friend) is here so ... lets finish our thoughts... Terry - I hope you can get mom "out of jail" real soon LOL I remember when my gram was in rehab when she broke her hip, she was insane and just wanted to be home.
