  1. Oh man, I needed that laugh tonight. I had one of those days at school, and I am almost done too, J!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo excited about that. I am not sure when I go back, but I know that next week ends my torture for this year...... Boy, those burnt chickens made me laugh...and thinking about babygirl flying over her handlebars in front of construction workers ( I think), that was a priceless memory too!!!!!!! Welcome Lisa and Neveragain.....jump in and talk, we are quite friendly and nice around here.... HP and JC better say hi soon. The post office here told me I had better get my package out like right now if I expected it to get there......so I did.....hehehehehe.....I know we will know who it is from the address but it is still fun....
  2. December 10th, Monday Strength training on bowflex 30 crunches on exercise ball
  3. TX, the cold????? It is -14 here this morning with the wind chill....just a mere -1 with the wind chill not factored in.....I am not sure you know what cold is......
  4. Call me skinny but don't say I am unhealthy and sick looking. I am the most healthy looking that I have been in years. I like that song J, I guess I need to just let it go flying over my head. I guess if the in laws say to me that I am looking good, I will say, thats not what I hear you are saying....LOL...that would make for a great day. When is everyone sending the SS out?
  5. Dec 06. Thursday 2 hours roller blading
  6. LOL. B, you have a double whammy coming from granny when she finds out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Hello everyone....we did get snow last night. It is pretty, but too cold for me...hate the cold now that I am getting fit. I used to LOVE the cold, when I could just stay at home all the time and not move from the couch. Not happening now though, so it sucks. I just hope we have snow for Christmas. Have a happy weekend everyone.... Oh, crap, almost forgot to tell you all this. I am NOT happy about this. My son, who is 19, went to my parent in laws last week and they got to talking about me. My son says "My mom is looking really good" and the in laws say " Well, she is gonna get sick if she doesn't stop losing weight. She is looking unhealthy." WTF?????????????????????????????? Are you kidding me? I am so upset that they think of me that way. No one showed any concern for my unhealthiness when I couldn't walk three feet without being in pain....or I had to take all the medications for my health problems or use the CPAP for my breathing.....NO ONE was willing to say anything to me then, but now that I am getting healthy, they say that I am unhealthy??????? I am so up in arms over this, I am considereing not going to the family Christmas party. I NEVER thought of all people to be jealous of me it would be my mother in law. Well, I feel a little better now telling you guys about it. I look healthy, I eat healthy, I have healthy habits....I am healthy. I am NOT SICK OR UNHEALTHY. Maybe I should put that on my Christmas card to them this year.
  8. I know huh? I can't wait until the weather changes back to warm, and the weather hasn't even begun to be as cold as it will get. Such a bummer!!! I do have to get studying though, I have check offs tomorrow and I have to know this stuff....soooooo will check in later BG to see what you did with the rest of your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, at least you didn't have to have a root canal....now there is something to be happy about, huh???
  9. work out some more...and think of how lucky you are not to have the hags around today....FOR HELL SAKES....ENJOY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. Well, my gas pains were there well into a month out of surgery. NOT as bad as the first week out, but I still had them. I walked A LOT at night too. Try getting on all fours and sticking your butt up in the air....putting your head down, support your stomach with something. This helped me and still does if I have gas.
  11. So awesome B!!!!!! I love that feeling of getting a new bike..I should know...I bought three this last year....and DH wants one more still...a mountain bike... J, I just love ya!!!! You really are an awesome woman...you know just what to say when someone needs it and how to kick ass when someone needs it. BG, you are also awesome with your 13 minute mile....you are rocking it girl. I wish I could run that long. The longest I have ran is 8 minutes and I thought I was gonna die after I walked for 5 and then started running another 8 after that .....you go girl!!! ZZ, I really crave chocolate sometimes. I really want to go buy a candy bar. I really really really want to sometimes. BUT, most of the time, I don't even think about it, and I never keep it in my house. Don't get me wrong, on Halloween, you would of thought I was 10 the way I was hording around my DD's candy, and I did eat some. But, for some reason, I don't want it all the time like I did before banding. Before banding, I would send DH across the street to store every night to buy two bags of candy or two packages of Oreo's. I ALWAYS go my own package or bag too. DD and DH had to share one. I laugh about it now, but boy, talk about killing yourself slowly... TX, that is so effing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are now an official NON- SMOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to smoke also, and soooooooooooooooooooooo glad that I don't do that anymore either.....I am rather boring person now...I can't eat and I don't smoke or drink anymore....LOL...
  12. THanks JM, not as hot as I would like, but getting there..... Dec. 5 one hour bowflex strength training.
  13. Dec. 3rd bowflex strength training one hour Dec. 4th 10 miles bike machines...almost one hour
  14. That is great BG, I am glad that you can eat again. I had one bite of chicken and one bite of potato last night and I was done...stuck.....I hate that.....I think I am going to just start having cereal at night...save me from thinking I am getting a nice dinner and then not getting it.
  15. Another Pound J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Are On A Roll J, Can You Pass Some My Way Girl????
  16. The stress of what you are going through is not good for your body!!! You need to let us help you out....
  17. Okay, I guess that it final then. We are all flying to BG's to kick some ass and take some names....they won't know what hit them...
  18. J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE LOST 100 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR AWESOME HONEY! HP, you look awesome!!!
  19. Oh, and my DH keeps calling me skinny..... I heart that!!
  20. My fill takes effect right away I must say. After a week is when I notice it loosening up. Today my class is going to Orthopedics to practice putting on casts....how fun!!!!! I went to gym after class yesterday and rode the recumbent bike 8 1/2 miles....and then last night roller bladed for 2 and 1/2 hours.....Never stopping except to get drinks of water......I am in a little pain this morning... Happy Friday morning to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt day!!
  21. It is suppose to snow today. I am going to the gym after classes today and riding the recumbent bike again. Then going skating tonight. I think that will qualify for exercise today.... AND I think we all know what we have to do to lose weight...its just whether we want to put the effort into doing it......right???? RIGHT?????
  22. I love talking to you peeps. Its so real. My in life friends have no idea still what a fill is and what getting stuck means, even though I tell them a bajillion times.....its like they don't listen. Its nice to say here to you all...."I am stuck" or " I am getting a fill" and have you know exactly what is being said. Happy Thursday peeps!!!!
  23. Hey! Don't let me stop you all from talking now!!
  24. Awe B, that plain sucks!!! I am still trying to figure that one out. How could it take 2-4 weeks for approval for something the insurance company KNOWS you have and have to have filled regularly???? I would call the insurance company and talk to someone HIGH up there. BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your onederful, hot bitch in boots and skirts!!!!!!! You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a rock star!!!!!! You are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is sooooooooo fucking awesome that you are 199!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My god girl....you deserve it...its been a long time coming for you!!!
