Karla - I get alot of this from my conversations with Idrise - can you see why I still am paying for a trainer - he's part trainer & part shrink ;0) Oh I hear you on the mega size hersey w/almonds one of my fav candies - and I would buy 2 or 3 and eat them all in one nite.. I'm the same way w/my pants especially after I have been wearing summer dresses that are lose.. We are doing it - we will continue to do it.. You don't owe me a darn thing ;0) Love you Janet now I gotta go feed the dogs ;0) cbl

Good Evening Gang... Ok I can speak to the fear - I have been maintaining for almost 2.5 yrs now - Like you said I am moving into my 4th yr of being banded and my 3rd yr of maintenance Dropping off the site doesn't always mean that pple have lost their focus as we have one person who pops in every now and (beth??) the one who moved (karla you won't know her but Candice & Phyl would) and I think for those pple who have been successful and who's light bulb has gone off they have a hard time dealing w/pple who just don't get it.. But I would say the majority drop because they feel like failure once again. But these pple haven't gotten that this is a lifetime battle - they think it's a quick fix - the get cocky - they go back to eating their normal It really is about changing our eating and how we look at food and about moving. It's not about dieting or keeping your band so tight that you can't eat.. Will you ever lose the fear - I dont' think so - Idrise has helped a lot in understanding that I do have control - Remember about 6 months ago - he and I got in a big disagreement - about me being a food addict - he says there is no such thing - well this pissed me off and he and I went around and around - I told him if there is a bag of candy or fried chicken in the house I would eat them I have no control So one day he said Janet are those foods in your house - I said No - He said who does the shopping - I said I do - he said well are you buying those foods that you have no control over - I said No - He said well then Girl you do have control - AH HA MOMENT !!! We are not physically addicted to food - we are mentally addicted to it - Yes our bodies have a physically reaction to our trigger foods - but it's not like a physical addiction like drugs or alcohol - It's a mental flaw that we have (genetics).. As adults - we go to work every day cuz we have to we have responsibilities - do we like going to work - I would say for the most part nope - do you like paying bills - do you like cleaning house - nope. But its all things we have to do. Well we have to apply that same mentality to being healthy.. So what do you say to an adult who tells you - I don't like exercising Well just like the rest of our lives 80% of the time we are doing things we don't like to do - but they are the things that we have to do as being responsible adults So to be healthy - you have to eat clean & exercise - suck it up and be a responsible adult and just do it.. Ya you may not like it all the time - but if you want a better quality to your life - if you want more energy - if you want to extend your years on this earth then - ya gotta do it - just like you gotta go to work every day to put a roof over your head It's ok to have treats - that's where our thinking is screwed up - we think we can't - that if we eat a giant candy bar one day - or a Reuben sandwich - Omg - we are back to the road of being morbidly obese - no we aren't - that was a treat - it's not something we are going to do every single day - we did it one day - not 365. This is why I usually eat pretty healthy at home - but when I am gone on our vacations - I have more treats - but again I try and watch it too.. I don't pig out 24/7 for 5 days. and if I come home and have gained a couple of lbs - I know that those lbs will come off with a little extra exercise and with my normal healthy eating.. We all had surgery to help us - and the band does help us - but what we have to do is give ourselves credit for the times that we are eating clean and exercising When we find ourselves slipping back into old habit - We realize it - hell look at Karla - ate 2 cups of grapes and had a freak out attack - oh tomorrow I am going to wake up weighting 250 lbs - you ate grapes - you didn't down a gallon of ice cream and then a bag of cookies - That's when you need to freak out - you need to freak out before you eat them - you need to exercise control when you are out shopping and not to let those foods ever get in your house - it you are in a mood - you want to say "f" it - go buy a pint of ice cream and eat the whole damn this - go to the bakery buy 4 cookies and eat them all - if you want a candy bar go buy just 1 giant one - eat it - and then when it's done you say - Ok I did that - I'm done - I had what I wanted now it's back to the real world. Yep the candy & ice cream still call my name - but when I walk down those isle - I say "F You" I really do this ... Those things that call my name - they say "I know that you can control it " (that devil talking to us) but I know I can't -- So I will pick it up look at the calories and think Oh I would love to eat you - but I know I won't stop at one - so I am not buying you - I feel to damn good to go back.. I wake up every morning - and when I go to put on a pair of my pants - I am still amazed that they fit.. I have fear - but it's a healthy fear of my mental addiction to food - better yet - I don't have fear - I am have awareness I am aware that if I eat candy - cookies - ice cream - high fat foods - tons of cheese - and I don't go to the gym - I am aware of what the results will be - I will be 250 lbs .. I don't want to be 250 - I want to look cute - I want to have a longer life more than I want to eat a 1/2 gallon of ice cream every nite.. I want to have the muslces - to help my body do the things I want to do and to help me as I age - to have stronger bones - to have better balance - I like being able to clean the house without breaking in a sweat - to go shopping for 6 hrs without my feel killing me after 1 hr.. As we all know being morbidly obese limits the quality of our lives Since all of us are 50+ we know that we have less years in front of us - and if we want to extend those yrs - enjoy the yrs that we have left - we have to lose the weight - we have to get and stay healthy.. And to get those results we have to eat healthy and exercising - is it fun - nope not all the time - but just like life - it's not a bowl of cherries either - we just have to take those lemons and make lemonade w/splenda and we have to pick the lemons - squeeze them - instead of going to the store in our cars and buying it already made and full of sugar Karla - our addiction never leaves us - it becomes a little easier as time goes by - but it's still always in the back of our minds - When we do have those treats - we have to tell ourselves - it's ok to have a treat - what's not ok is to have the 24/7 365.. We do have control - we truly do and it's ok to lose that control for a second - it will happen in all our lives - but what is the most important thing - is that we are now aware that we have lost the control and say STOP - PULL UP THOSE BOOT STRAPS AND MOVE FORWARD.. So if you want those new shoes - you save for them - you work for them - If you want a nice house - you work for it - you do what it takes to save the $$ for it and then once you get it you have to maintain that house. Getting healthy is no different - you have to eat healthy - you have to exercise and once the weight is gone - you have to do keep up that work to maintain the new healthy body.. As the saying goes - who said life was easy... Off the soap box ;0)

Good Morning I love Defenders too - Detroit 187 - Parenthood - Greys - Brothers & Sisters - Bluebloods - the Whole truth - those are just some of my dvr shows ;0) Dinner last night was squash rice popcorn greek yogurt.. I'm pooped too Karla ;0) Well it's time to get in the shower - cbl

Drive by - Had gym then Andrew came over - Guess what - I'm pooped and really don't feel like company ;0) Karla - Salt is temporary weight not real weight -not like eating candy - french fries etc - so freaking enjoy once a year.. I'm not particulary hungry either - well really don't know what i want to eat - Had a bite of the chicken I got on monday - but it taste funny- so has my squash and some rice - will have some greek yogurt in a few - had tuna for lunch.. greek yogurt and granola for bf so I'm not too bad.. Candice -WTG - See you can do it !!! you just have to put your mind to it - Phyl - wasn't it last yr that you saw the typisie janet ;0) at thanksgiving ;0) Well I'm getting off the computer it's 9 and Andrew still has a load of wash to dry - think I'm closing my door and going to bed..

You were eating turkey from last thanksgiving???? OMG I think you are only suppose to keep stuff in the freezer for like 6 months.. Ugh... I have always been a dark meat girl ;0) - but I have had some good white meat... Stuffing Gravey & potatoes are my fav - use to love turkey sandwich the day after - made w/mircale whip (I grew up on it - but don't care for it anymore) but those days are long gone - don't think I could eat a turkey sandwich - well maybe 1/2 with very thin turkey but I like thick turkey ;0) also love the wing and tail ;0) Weather ;0) Earl and his 97 degrees ;0) too funny... Yep it's been nice - I know you will disagree - but I can't wait till we get 68 degree days - that's when I can wear my winter clothes/boots ;0) - I can't wait for the cold weather next week - I got the most wonderful soft cozy pj's from costco - OMG they are just too soft and cuddley - can't wait to wear them... But that cold weather won't be good for carpet drying on Tuesday.. Heard that Seattle may have Snow this weekend.. 12/1 Kaitlin's Bday - Yep I will be thinking about you - don't know if Andrew will take his little notebook or if the hotel has free wi fi - need to ck that out... Well need to get busy

[ Good Morning Gang Karla - I'm alive - just didn't get to the thread - I think I was off the computer around 8 and now one had posted ;0) Protein - Well I really don't count it now a days - lately been having pt shake for bf - 20+ then lunch will be salad w/chicken (3 or 4 oz) 21 - Dinner fish or what ever another 20 - 7 grms pt per oz of meat was rule of thumb.. Somedays - I may just eat veggies and starch - not often but it does happen.. One pot wonders are great ways to have your meat - sauce is tomatoe sauce not gravy;0) Beans good source of pt.. Get egg beaters instead of real eggs - good and less calories and add some cheese - just not too much.. Turkey Day - I have no plans what so ever.. Not cooking since I leave the following Saturday - Kid's aren't coming due to that and Andrew doesn't care about turkey - My Uncle is suppose to be going to see my Sister and I don't know about my bro Brad - but I'm not cooking for 3 or 4 pple - not worth it - I may have lobster ;0) and maybe decorate the house - may be doing a 5k for our local soup kitchen Martha's Village on Thursday Morning.. it's $35 so gotta ck w/my gf Linda - she and I are talking about doing it.. Yep 3 more days til Vaca ;0) busy at work - but think I will be ok - Gym tonite arms...

I am glad you be are being pro-active in getting answer and sure glad you aren't drowning your sorrows.. As they say - good things come to those who wait... Keep the faith - you can do this.. Hugs - Janet

Hugs for the struggles - I think most insurance plans now make you go thru w/the 6 month pre-op diet.. I agree - ck w/your insurance company directly. I've never heard that cholestoral was a co-mobitiy - sleep apena - high blood pressure etc are the ones they used on me.. You made a statement that I want to address I can do the diet and always give it my all, but the problem is the stinking weight always comes back and all my hard work down the drain!!!! The reason the weight comes back on is that you go back to eating your normal - Light blub moment - our eating normal is what got us fat in the 1st place Even w/the band - it's all about making a lifetime lifestyle change in our eating and exercise habits.. We can never go back to eating like we use to - the band is only a tool - it doesn't make your food choices nor exercise for you - it doesn't lose the weight for you - you have to do that.. The only thing it does is make you fuller on a smaller amount of food - but that Ice Cream you want to go eat - you can still eat the bucket even with the band.. What has to be learned is that we can't turn to food to soothe our feelings ;0).. Insurance companies are tired of paying for surgeries when in 2-3 yrs pple are gaining their weight back - they want to make sure you can stick to a plan and even at that it's not guarentee.. So GF pick up the phone - call your insurance company - tell them about your prior attempts - it may work - if not 6 months of losing the weight - you will be just that much closer to goal.

I saw that Steelhead in costco last night I like trout - may have to try it.. Yep I would quit that ointment - like my wiping w/caspin on my hands even after I washed them.. Hell - you don't have to spell correctly all the time - it's close enough we know what you meant ;0)... Have fun at the beauty shop... this is a great websit for foods & carbs and you can change the weight to yours to see how much exercise it takes to burn the food FOODPICKER IMHO we should eat like we are diabetic - well may not as strick but close - watching the carbs !!!

Candice It's called arthritist - that's it - I have it - I got it from my Mom - when it gets cold it acts up.. I got joint juice (drinkable glucosamine w/ chodroitin) - it's just old age setting in - not much anyone can do about it.. It's nothing major (pain isn't bad enough to even take a tylenol - just know it's there- in fact not even hurting now) and I am not a doctor person - I only go when something is bothering me for a long time and won't go away. My Dad's house in La Costa had one of those built in vaccum systems - pretty cool.. Candice stay off the scales - weigh once a week - same day same time.. Salt - Water weight varies daily - what are your calories and what exercise are you doing - need more than just a walk w/the dog - go to the gym and lift some weights - doesn't have to be heavy weights just do more reps.. Well I see emails coming in - better get back to work

Good Morning Karla - Ya they can't get blood from a turnip.. Don't stress, it's not your fault - I don't think they can sue you they are just talking smack.. Well my angel woke me up at 4 - tried to go back to bed but it wasn't happening and I have boot camp tonite - so I guess a strong cup of coffee around 2 will be in my future.. Last night had scallops 4 with a little garlic oil & can't beleive it's not butter - with the paremean garlic dipping seasoning over a little white rice - VERY VERY GOOD.. Phyl - Earl is a sweetheart isn't he - how nice... I can see why you married him ;0).. I got my dogs one of those long dog toys - but mine just tear the stuffing out ;0).. Bear has always done that with all his toys - I don't know if he did it or Bella - saw Bella playing with it.. 64 right now - knuckle aching a little - old age is the pits..

Good evening Gang !!! Drive by - I'm pooped ;0) Tons of work - then went to costco after work - got me some stuff (fluffly cozy pjs) got Andrew some salmon & hamburger - splurged and got me some scallops -$31 - but it should make quite a few meals - then stopped at Stater Bros - cuz Andrew said he needed milk - so didn't get home till almost 6 - then Andrew came - fixed him dinner - and he just left - got a call and he has to be at work at 4 a.m. - He looks pooped - this real life - taking care of his dog - feed himself - working - etc is getting to him ;0) he bought a planner book so he can keep track of all his obligations - cleaning my house - his moms - work etc ... I'm not worried about Mexico and or Terroirst - it was just an accident - I am sorry for the pple hurt and killed - but a hell of a way to go - on vacation... Hope it was the end of the vacation ;0) - when it's your time to go it's your time to go - they had no control over that at all.. Got my new Fanny Flagg book in the mail today - so I have 2 books for vacation - ordered some biodegradable sunblock - that's all you can use in the Carrier - cuz of the corral reefs - so I order 2 bottles - 2 underwater cameras and 2 waterproof wallet thingies.. I drank my joint juice today (got a 6 pack yesterday - and a case at costco today $4 coupon so $16 for $12 - cuz the glusomane (sp) pills are too big to swallow and you have to take 3 a day and the liquid stuff is suppose to absorb better too.. then had 2 cups coffee - pt shake for bf - then more Water - knees feel a little better tonite - still on the tight size- wasn't at lunch but am now - had a couple bite of cheese at costco - couple bites of chicken (skin) and feel a little stuck Well - gang - going to the couch..

Good Morning Gang.... Phyl - I get busy at work - and forget ;0)- figured if there was something wrong - where they needed to cut on me - then they would call - that's why I don't like going to pple who have surgeon on their names - they just want to cut ;0).. Jackie is amazing!!! Earl got tippisy on 2 glasses of wine - must have been bigger than your 4 oz glasses. Today suppose to be another warm day..... Karla - the rotisserie chicken I can do- they are very moist - I agree about winter and water - my mission today is to drink ;0).. Well some hotel in Playa del Carmen exploded due to swamp gas - that God it wasn't mine ;0) but there are some dead pple - Canadian's and couple American's hurt.. Well need to go figure out what to wear today... Need to hit the shower.. cbl

Hey Gang You know what Karla - I bet it is lack of water - I haven't been too good lately about my water.. Got some capisain cream - don't put it on the back of your knees - and make sure you wash your hands VERY VERY VERY GOOD before going potty and wiping ;0) - it was a little warm down there ;0) tmi Phyl - I went to Desert Ortho - last yr about my knee - they did an mri and never called me.. I got some drinkable gulosmosnae (sp) I will see if that helps. Candice - I'm tight too - had 2 eggs this a.m. pre-gym - then came home went to target & marshalls (didn't buy any clothes) came home and had popcorn and it's sitting there.. I was going to have green salad w/chicken & avocado - but it will be a while - I think it's lack of water in my case - I think that I was tight before when I wasn't drinking enough .. Phyl Your freind Jackie - is super woman - how old is she - hell - I'm worn out reading about what she's done/doing.. Karla - I'm not packed but getting an idea of what I am taking - yesterday it was like 84 (humid) lows 70's in playa del carmen- so that's pretty much summer weather - The hard part is knowing what to take - $25 for a ck bag (x2) cking one bag and taking one carry on in case the bag get's delayed Phyl I like El Pollo Chicken - bought their seasoning - it just doesn't come out the same when you make it yourself - hell $4.99 for a Costco ck that's BIG - You can't make it at home for that... I have a rotisserie - and it makes a good chicken - but then I have to clean up the mess.. Candice - I am physically full - but want to eat - proof it's all in our heads - a low calorie day isn't going to kill us ;0).. You are doing very very well - Keep it up !!! Well, work tomorrow - going to be crazy - 14 days till vacation !!!

Good Morning Gang... Well woke up yesterday with a upset stomach - must have been the sf choc raisins ;0) didn't feel real hot - but by noon it passed. Got my closet done - it took all day - got all the summer stuff moved to the other bedroom - on the bed !! and some in the closet got some stuff picked out for vacation in a separate pile.. Put away some summer pj's got out winter pjs - Gotta say I sure don't need any clothes ;0) well maybe another pair of black pietite jeans - but that's it.. Washed - made cream of tato soup - the calories aren't on the package - it's called Ta Da soup from Gullah gourmet that I get off the internet.. Ate couple 1 cup bowls - it's good so cal most likely weren't great ;0) Candice - can't believe they had that kind of food - I do understand some sandwiches - some pple can eat them and it is all about moderation.. But the pastries.. I would think they would have healthier foods.. Yes you need to write them.. Phyl - I think I have full fledge arthritis - knees have been aching - going to get some aspirin cream today.. Glad your back isn't too bad.. Karla ????? Well have gym in a few - then my target shopping - then bookkeeping (some) and catching up on t.v.

Candice - Shake & Bake - They spray you with fake tan )self tanner)- I don't know the ingredients - Are you allergic to the self tanners ?? and then you go into a stand up tanning bed for about 10 minutes so that the stuff can dry/bake in ;0) and in about 6 hours you are tanned.. Cost - I think like $45 - 50 not sure haven't had it done in a few years - I guess maybe in 2/07 when I went on the cruise w/Deb & my sister.. You go in naked ;0) so you have an all over tan ;0) the only problem is that the bottom of my feet get black no matter how much lotion I put on them - I have some of those sandles they give you after a pedicure - I think I am going to glue them to the bottom of my feet ;0) Yep - I am going to be busy.. But it will all get done so not sweating it too much right now.. I think 1st of Dec is a good time for Vegas - pple are out shopping for xmas - not gambleing - but that's not true pple are always gambling.. I want to go back and see stuff - I haven't seen all the new casino's Karla - I use to go to tanning beds all the time and you can get hooked - I know I did - but at the time I thought it was safer than the real sun (besides being faster) - I would alway go when Ralph and I went on a cruise as I have to tan gradually and I didn't want to go on a beach day and get burned - as long as I have a base I can be in the sun.. Well go figure - tanning beds just as bad for you - so now - I use self tanners & sun screen.. I use self tanner all summer - pple think it's a real tan - but in the winter I don't - get tried of keeping it up and everyone (well except the snow birds like Phyl ;0) are white - you can tell snowbirds here in the desert - it's 70 degrees - they have shorts and sandles on where as us desert rats have long pants closed in shoes and a sweater around our shoulders ;0) I need to go to costco too to get garlic powder - will fit it in sometime.. Well - Don't know what to fix for dinner.. stopped and got some hamburger - might make some tamale pie (but just a small single serving - cuz I love tamale pie ;0) The choc pb2 is just ok - not choc enough.. Get celery - crackers too many calories/carbs ;0)... Well I'm hungery - need to get out of gym clothes... CBL

Phyl - Yep after pool would be the ideal time - but are you suppose to do it before you have the pain or when you have pain - did you have pain after our outlets?? Plans this weekend ??? 2 weeks till I leave for Vacation.. Tonite - Gym - weight legs.. Then the stuff I should do this weekend #1 is to go thru closet - pick out clothes for vacation - 80's during the day but can get as cool as 64 at night.. Then put away summer clothes and pull out winter clothes. Andrew is cleaning house today - so that will be done. Then since I will be gone on the 1st - Property Taxes & bills will be due - so gotta start scheduling those payments - do some bookkeeping mine and the ranches - see how much $$ I will have or need to transfer.. I may go out to the Street Fair tomorrow morning - need some new white visors ;0) - I think I am going to do that - if I remember... That's about all I need for vacation - have my suits - paredo's - clothes - shoes - So chill weekend I guess - but next week - omg - i am going to be busy Week of 11/15 going to be busy cleaning up my desk - going to gym etc. I'm off the week of 11/22 - but got carpet cleaning scheduled for Tuesday 11/23 at 9:00 so gotta move some furniture - tables - plants around on Monday nite - then the Dogs go to the groomer - then I have appt w/ my groomer at 10 a.m - can't go back to the house for a while - gotta let carpet dry - dogs won't be ready till around 2 - so a little shopping I guess - I gotta find out forsure if they kids are coming for xmas or not. - then on 11/24 - the carpert pple coming back to clean grout - so more moving - but not as much. Then I need to go shake and bake (get profession fake tan ;0) Think going to do that Wed - Thrusday turkey day - Friday banking - getting cash for trip - packing then Saturday be at the airport at 5 a.m. We never got much wind last night - thankfully.. I dislike the wind.. Well need to get back to work ;0)

Good Morning Gang... Read last nite when I came to turn the computer off - but needed to get to bed.. Ended up eating popcorn & greek yogurt (w/cream cheese) for dinner - that's all I wanted ;0) - so that's what I ate.. Phyl - I would say we walked for about 3 hrs - you did really well - that was the most that you had walked at the outlets since we have been going - I thought you did VERY well ;0).. What will the pain doc do - Hugs about the back issues - its sure a bitch getting old isn't it - we have all this stuff we want to do - and our stupid bodies are deteriorating My wrist is 7 I think - that's the size bracelets I order ;0) and they are lose - but that's how I like to wear them.. Karla - You are to sweet - We love you .. Yep extended time w/family - Talked to Joseph last night - Kaitlin cleaned up did homework -but he says Melissa is mad at everyone - when she got home the other night she didn't talk to Kaitlin at all.. Didn't deal w/the situation - I think she's depressed - She acted that way when I was up there- she'a always been on the grouchy side (negative) I know that my DS isn't the easiest person to live with - the problem is they are all lazy imho - Joseph says he's staying in Mexico when we go ;0) - he's not coming back lol.. I think her weight (close to 280ish) is dragging her down - then the out of control family - she was on antidepressants a while ago - don't know if she still is.. Well that's their life - I can't do a darn thing about it - but am telling you - I will be on the beach ignoring them if they are too depressing.. Candice - Proud of you for sticking to it !!!

Good Afternoon... Phyl forgot to tell you beautiful bracelet... Candice you will see my Poppy in my car ;0) We got off at noon - I worked till 1ish - then I talked to my gf at work for about and hour and half then went to target - home and wait til 5 to go to the gym.. Phyl - how did the visit go.. Candice - glad you had a nice family time.. Sis will be fine in Mx - they normally go after other bad guys.. But prayers that they stay safe ..

Phyl - Up early ;0) was shocked to see 7:33 a.m. post from you - 3.5 it's all salt - water retention .. Don't sweat it.. But I know it's still hard to see the #'s going up.. Busy Day... Let us know what the doc says.. Well need to get busy - only have to work 1/2 day today - they are letting us off early for Vet Day - Got my red white & blue on ;0) Thanks to all the men & women of are in the armed services and protect the great USA !!!

WTG CANDICE - NO FRENCH FRIES... I use the choc pb2 in shakes.. it's good - then i mixed it by accident at work for celery - it's good that way too.. Karla - our dogs are on the same time schedule - all week mine seem to wake me at 4:30 - but I guess since dogs don't tell time - it's really 5:30 ;0).. Sis is ok - i guess when I call I keep getting recorder - need to try again tonite or maybe from work this afternoon.. GD is a little b - I don't know how you raise 5 DD - I like boys better - Andrew can be super mouthy too - but it's just diff - don't ask me why.. He sent pic's to his Dad last night of his apt - I guess Joseph told him Kaitlin is grounded - so Andrew asked me what's up - told him she's just nasty - trash in her bath room that I cleaned up and left for her to take to trash - still sitting on the floor.. Wish me lucky on this family vacation - I forget that being together for more than a couple of days is trying on my nerves. ;0).. Don't know what I was thinking.. ;0)

Good Evening Gang - Yes Phyl I have taken the whole week off ;0) Well Melissa called me at work today to say Kaitlin being lazy - not doing well in school.. yada yada yada - So had to call and tell Kaitlin off - told her it's my privilege to cancel her bday if she doesn't straighten up and fly right ;0) I wasn't very nice - but she's a 16 yr old girl (well almost 12/1) and she has an excuse for everything and she's nasty - she doesn't clean... That's about it for me - hungry but it's only 5:30 - gotta go feed the dogs in a few and start my acorn squash...

Not too much trouble - just don't know LAX ;0) - I would have driven there - but us country folk aren't use to the big airports and manurvering ;0).. - but I know I could have figured it out ;0)... I have been officiall approved for 3/14 ;0)

Good Morning Gang.. Karla - LOL vintage joints - I agree... I sure in the heck aint going to do something that's going to hurt me so I can't exercise at all.. 43 degrees - cold ;0) - Phyl I am not turning on the heater - I just put on my fluffy robe - Maybe you should get one for Earl for Xmas - that way he can put it on and conserve on electricity which cost $$$ - I would think he would be really into to that ;0) lol... Karla - Phyl posted yesterday on the mentor thread - she had beading class I think or beaded - cuz on FB I saw a pic of a bracelet.. She's going to start taking a day a week to herself.. Speaking about Elect bill mine went down to $164 - was $303 last month - and I did use ac for a bit last month - but not much loving the lower bill.. Linda - How's the GBabies Cora & Levi ;0) Hows the tummy - hows your el groovo (that's what I call DH's) Candice - What's the plan for the day !!! Phyl - What are you going to do for your next girl day ;0) CBL !!
