Hello Was supposed to go to dinner and that was canceled. Should work on my taxes. I pulled a strange muscle the other day in my lower shoulder/chest. It is on the right side and I don't know what I did. I must have done it Thursday, Friday it hurt, yesterday was the worst and today I can tell it is getting better. It is just in a really strange place and wonder what I did....(And for all the dirty minds out there, no hanky panky for me last week!!)

Way to go Haydee!!!!!!! I obviously am not a fan of the band. Not sorry I got it, but not thrilled. I don't think I ever would do a bypass. I got an unfill and am eating are you ready for this? Carrots!! Yes, the girl that hates carrots is now eating baby carrots, but I couldn't eat any raw vegetables before my unfill. I did have 7 cc's in my 10 cc band, now I think it is 4.5 or 5 cc's. It still gives me a bit of restriction, but I am pretty happy with it. Thinking of you Michelle!!

I ate some bad foods for lunch, but hopefully that will be the end of it til Easter. I am going to allow myself some bad foods then. I did good. He is taking me off the medicine I take for my headaches, he said it can cause you to gain weight. He is putting me on something else called topomax, he said he hoped my insurance pays for it. He said if it doesn't, then appeal. It would be a relief if I didn't have headaches all the time!! I deal with them as a way of life, and only get sidetracked when they are horrible. So maybe I will be skinny AND headache free!!! I go back to him the day after Easter, and hopefully I can lose 10 pounds by then. I want to be under a certain weight then. Okay speaking of headaches, I have one and am going to lay down!!

Judy I meant to add this, I like some of Fashion Bugs clothes, the bad thing is their sizing!! I always have to try things on their, sometimes I could take a much smaller size, or sometimes I would take a HUGE size! It is like Karen Scott shirts, sometimes I take a 1x, 2x, or 3x!

Hello!!! I think I am doing real good, but need to exercise more!! Did some of my taxes last night, not too bad yet...Business has been soo slow I decided I would buy a program and do it myself. So if it works, I saved $150 doing it by myself, if it doesn't I will have to pay an extra $250 to get them done by a real smart person!! I have about a month!! Michelle I am thinking about you! Laura, saw Carson was sick again!!!!!!! Sorry!!!

Michelle, that was a moving post!! Hugs and special prayers to you and your whole family! I did a quick weigh in this morning, and I have really lost, I wonder if it is the apple stuff.....I think really it is nice to 'blame' it on that, but I was stuck at the same weight for a while, it was bound to move soon. Go to Dr. tomorrow and see for real.

Haydee, it really goes right through and down. It tastes bad for 1 second. It sort of burns your throat, but that is only for an instant. It is a weird feeling! I hope all has a great weekend! I am off to work, then helping out with Anna.

I did two shots of it today. It is not horrible, but not great! The nice thing about it is, the taste doesn't linger in your mouth. I hope it works!

I read this in a women magazine and thought back to when Haydee went to a Dr. that suggested it. So I thought I would try it, we have a natural food store on the corner and got a bottle for $4. I will transcribe the article below If frequent cravings are making it hard for you to flatten your tummy, take a cue from Fergie: her trainer advised her to take two tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar twice a day. A Japanese study found that people who drank two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before meals for four weeks lost an amazing five times more weight than those who ate the same foods without vinegar.

Michelle, that is very nice and touching what you said! It is a shame that it takes a tragedy for some people to reconnect etc.... I have a fairly busy day today. I am freaking out about money and where it is going to come from! I raised my prices effective on Tuesday so that should help. Oh well, things work out one way or another! Have a good day and enjoy your bunky boards Pamela!!!!
