  1. Good Morning Gang Karla wtg on using your time wisely - I screw around on the computer playing games etc instead of doing stuff I should - then I have to rush to get stuff done.. On your breakfast issues - yesterday I had deli ham & 2% cheese w/mustard - it's an easy at work meal ;0) You don't have to eat breakfast food for bf - you can eat whatever you want.. I'm not a sweet person in the morning (nite time is when it calls my name) so I will have other stuff for bf - just steak - fish - chicken sometimes. Linda Glad Andy's surgery went well - Karri came home w/pain pump when she had tt - they do that alot now a days - my boss has his prostrate surgery on 10/14 and they will be repairing herina at that time.. He'll be out of work for 2 weeks.. Phyl still in OK - Steph what are you doing... Karri has a job but buy the looks of it on FB she's not super excited about it - it's a normal teaching job - but you know our Karri - not normal so that's not exciting to her - but she's glad she has a job.. Candice- Zumba today.. Well I have weights & yoga tonite - so don't know when I will get back on the computer.. Have a Great Day Peeps...
  2. Candice Glad you had a good rehearsal - WTG on the jeans - I ordered some from QVC $25 got regular length to wear w/heels and petite for flat - the petite are too tight in the waist - both size 4 but the petite waist is about 2 inches smaller - so they are going back.. Have a great visit w/your gf - you will find tons to talk about and we are old now adays so we are always repeating ourselves ;0) Karla Glad you are going to the doc for your prolaspe.. Ya you are going to be busy w/homework - Like I said - props to you for taking this on - I think it's great.. Slow down when you eat - leave the ceral out - That's the problem w/the band - tight some days others not - I really think dehydration may have something to do with it.. Went to lunch today w/gf - went to italian - I have been wanting shrimp alfredo - for the longest - but ended up ordering a salad - why you ask - cuz it was the better choice and I didn't really need all that grease & pasta.. But I had to slow my gf down with her eating - she eats really fasts and I found myself trying to keep up w/her - and I can't ;0) Well it's 8:30 Kaitlin called so I've been on the phone w/her.. Ck back in the morning
  3. Candice - I'm up at by at least 5 a.m. - some mornings at 4:30 - work from 7:30 to 4 - Gym - home - computer - dinner - tv - animals and phone calls (Joseph is calling me all the time now to ck on me ;0) - Have a lot more energy when you aren't carrying around all that weight.. Karla - did you sleep in too ;0) - but you have work :0) Phyl - How was tops?? or is that today?? All that eating out - ugh - I bet you are ready for some good home healthy cooking.. Linda - How's it going - what's up with you.. How's the hips.. Karri left me note on FB won't be getting her own place till 10/1 - she's going to try and call me if she get's any privite time.. well need to get to work - cbl
  4. Good morning... Had gym - went to the store to get veggies - had salad & ck for dinner and dessert was 1/2 of a pt shake then popcorn Watched tv and read.. Candice watched your video - great job... Phyl - Don't know if I have heard about spine center - but glad you are on top of this.. Hope your pain isn't too bad today.. Enjoy your visit in OK Karla - were are you this morning - doing home work :0) cbl
  5. You may have lost your butt - boobs & gained some bat wings - but you know what - you gained ?? Your health - Self Confidence A good bra - some spanx (heck they make fake booties) and elbow length tops will take care of all that you have lost but if you had kept the weight on - it would be losing your life... Which would you rather have - Life/Health or Booty/Boobs & Fat that was killing you... I'll take the health and you will too - it takes time -to get use to the new body... But you are going to feel so much better - and you are extending your years !!!
  6. Candice Nice looking camper shell & truck - I thought you got another motorhome :0) - this way you can take camper off and use truck - want pic's of inside - got enough room.. Will ck out fb - didn't work here
  7. Goog Morning Gang Linda - how funny you say I have discipline - I have never had it before - something that I have just aquired :0) Prayer for Andy - Sound like you have DIL from hell - won't let you buy for your grandkids - interfers w/your relationship w/DS I'm lucky my DIL isn't that way - she knows DS is a mama's boy and that's never going to change but gotta say I think she likes me more than she likes her own mom - her mom is a bit on the strange side at time - nice lady and I like her but she has her ways.. Phyl - that a good idea Here's DESERT ORTHOPEDIC # 760 568 2684 call now and set up appoint. Karla you are so smart :0) about making that appointment now... Karri's fine she got the job in TX - I will be talking to her tonite or tomorrow - saw on fb she's having sleeping issues - don't know if it's the full house or just sleeping issue ;00) Well time to hit the shower.. CBL
  8. Good Evening Gang Didn't do crap today - but eat - watch t.v - read - nap - farm & frontier ville - FB Oh did 3 loads of wash (small) Food - 1 egg 2 small slices of bacon it shrunk to nothing - hash browns 1/3 of a red potato - chick thigh and quesdilla and popcorn - and I havent had dinner :0) which will be chick thigh and 1/2 sweet tato or maybe just veggied.. Saw pic of Phyl and DGS - he must take after his mom (blond) cuz Steve has dark hair - Cute pic's !!! Candice - you are going to be recording a record next WTG on you new gig on Friday.. Linda - What did you do this weekend - how's Mel Steph - Saw that you went riding - then real farming today.. Well it's 7 I am getting off the computer and read and watch a little Cowboys ;0) my team ;0)
  9. Good Morning Gang.. Yep Karla got to sleep til 7 - well up at 4 then 5 (with dogs)- but gave the babies their morning treats - left the back door open and when back to bed - but at 7 Angel was waking me up... 7 is a good time to get up - I've had my coffee - read the paper - put a load in - made the bed - loaded the dishwasher - Now that I am an empty nester - not as much in the dishwasher - sliverware - coffee cups and my small $1 bowls from Target - no plates or big bowls since andrew's gone. Don't know what I am going to do today - I could sit and put pictures in frames and hang them - but I'm terrible at hanging stuff ;0) and then it seems like when I mess w/pictures pple die... So i feel a little jinx about messing with them - stupid I know but still. I may just read and watch t.v. - I know I was going back to target for something I forgot yesterday - but today I can't remember what that was !!!! Candice Great idea about the earrings - yep we are with you in spirit.. You will do fine !! You are a great singer.. Ya we want pic of MH.. Karla - You don't grumble about home work - you grumble about other stuff - usually $$ but since you have moved to the new how - that hasn't happen. Really you haven't been grumbleing half as much as you use to ;0) - so you are doing pretty damn good imho - We all vent at one time or another - so don't sweat it... I hear you on priorities - sometimes I just want to be home and not out and about w/pple ;0) - I enjoy my own company Phyl - Can't wait to see photos of Cody - Enjoy your time with him... Steve :0) lol we hear you on that one ;0) Oh - Karri got the job in TX !!! Science !!!! Living conditions right now a little hectic - guess alot of pple in a small house but will be moving into a extended stay till she gets her own place - she's going to call Monday or Tuesday.. Was able to eat dinner 1 chick thigh - but had to wait a while to eat 1/2 sweet potato - getting a little hungry now - may have some eggs & hot link or bacon.. CBL gotta go put clothes in dryer...
  10. Karla You couldn't go home and shower and get cute and go.. Yes chicken !!!! ;0) Soup sounds good - I need something like that... Yes we need to live - I was thinking about going to the store and getting Snow's clam chowder - they don't carry it at winco or target.. Cream soup every now and then is allowable even w/a busicut and a little butter ;0) Schooling - I've never done online either nor classes - my college equivalent classes were home study.. But I admire you for going back to school - hell it would interfer w/my fb and lbt time :0) and my exercise too.. I think I am headed to the couch too to watch a movie or read or both ;0) No exercise in the a.m. - plios teacher is on vacation and they are doing body pump instead - I already lift weights and I didnt' care for turbo kick boxing that much - it was ok for cardio - but that's about it - we will see - might go to that one but it's at 9 - hell it's not like the dogs will let me sleep in anyway...
  11. Good Evening Gang Well had gym this morning - I am not going to be able to walk by Monday... Then went and took car in to get new tires (so we have a safe trip Phly) walked over to AT&T to get new battery for my phone as it doesn't hold a charge for more than a day - day and half. Oh tried these riding boots on at Target - loved them - so came home showered went to Macy's they had $10 free cash - but the boots at Target were just as cute and only $39 instead of $100+ so went back to Target got the booths - some food home - ate some popcorn and took a little nap.. Linda When will they know the results of the biospy?? What's his psa #.. (I think that's what its called) Phyl - I don't know how Bella or my other dogs would react to thunder - we haven't had any thunderstorms in ages... Safe travels - When will you be here - Can't wait to get my White Choc - having a cup of coffee (so I can stay up past 9) and it would be good ;0) - Hugs on your back... Karla - your tightness must be catching - last night I was so tight I couldn't eat my dinner - had a bowl of ice cream instead - Got some protein shakes today - gotta have my nutrition.. What a diff a couple of yrs make - I would never have thought about nutrition before ;0) - Now it's what on am about ;0) being healthy.. You don't grumble about homework - you go girl getting some education at this stage in your life - that's a great accomplishment !!! Never had corn chowder - but it sounds good - I haven't really tried to eat today - except for the popcorn and that's a slider for me - am a little wary - I think dehydration might have something to do with it )being tight)- I have been terrible about getting my water in.. I got some chicken thight's going to bbq them.and have a sweet potatoe - don't know about veggies.. Candice - Sorry I missed you this morning - I guess I had left for the gym - the computer is always on - but I'm not always on it.. What are you doing this weekend... Well, need to go ck the dryer - washed my pillows (they say washable - never washed then in the 6 yrs - so giving it a try - may have to go to bed bath and beyond tomorrow... CBL
  12. I'm 55 and I do boot camp at 24 hr fitness every week .. It's no that bad - am sweating like a pig by the end of class - but I can hang w/the young ones..
  13. Please check w/your doctor 1st... I think I had a few months before I could do weights and in my boot camp we workout w/weights... And we do a lot of crunches... You are still healing so IMHO ck w/your doc to get clearance ...
  14. Good Morning Peeps Steph - I guess I was lucky Andrew brushes his teeth 10 times a day and showers almost as much ;0) you know that an exaggeration - Joseph - well he was pretty clean - don't think he brushed as much as he should. Hugs - hopefully he will get it - Rant vent all you want.. Karla - At least you enjoy your job at the nursery ;0) Hope DD is feeling better.. Well I'm glad it's friday too - have gym Sat morning (make up for monday) no other plans - oh ya tires - but that's it..
  15. Has your doc ck'd your band - you may have a leak
  16. IMHO LBT is the best source for info It's was here I was told - your band is only a tool - it's not going to lose the weight for you - it doesn't make your food choices and it doesn't exercise - all that is all up to you.. I joined LBT 5/14 and when I saw my doc for the 1st time he was surprised that I was so knowledgeable about what the band would and wouldn't do.. Also - I'm lucky my doc is aggressive w/his fills - got to my sweet spot in 2 fills and then had a tweek 1/10..
  17. Good Evening Gang... Phyl - I thought with all that you were doing your back was better - I am telling you - you need an adjustment.. No problem w/the scooter - I have a big trunk ;0).. Karla WTG ON YOUR 12'S !!!!!!! FANTASTIC !!!! BRAG AWAY !!!! Yep I hear you on afraid when we can't it - afraid of when we can - but I think it's a good fear - hell we use to not even think about what we put in our mouths... Not much to report - work and home - Andrew suppose to stop by after work - I went to his store after work cuz I needed a bday card and gift bag.. Dinner shrimp & salad - Lunch was chicken fajitas & bean - left overs from last night..
  18. Well have to tell you that I can eat my dinner - be physically full - but still want to eat - is your urge to eat a physical one or a mental one - In the beginning I just to sit and contenplate if I was full or not - yes - my stomach was full - but my body still craved food which we precieve as hunger most of the time - I'm at work - I had lunch - I am full - but I want something to snack on - urge for salty - nuts sound good - but I am not physically hungry.. It's the stress of the job - I want to eat to get the seratonin rushing thru my veins - food is our drug of choice and we crave it even when we are full.. How did I lose weight - even when restriction wasn't perfect - eat healthy (not dieting) and exercise - and kept my calories between 800 & 1200 and varied them daily - exercised 4-5 x a week - Also - it can take 2 weeks for a fill to fully kick in.. Don't ask me why - can't explain it
  19. Good Morning Gang... Slept like a baby but could use a little more ;0) didn't go to bed till 11 Karla - we are always needed I didn't want to go to yoga last night - did try and talk myself out - mostly cuz I don't get home til 8:45 and that's late on a work night ;0) Well Candice & Peter working for Elections ;0) Didn't see up date from Phyl
  20. Linda - Hugs & Prayer for Mel !!! My boss just went to City of Hope today - he has it too - he's 59 but looks like they got it in the early stages - Hope this is Mel's case to I will keep you in my prayers.. Ya I don't know if I have the energy for a 2 yr old :0).. I know how much you enjoy it - Oh - I was going to comment - Penny doesn't let you buy your grand kids clothes - what's up with that - That's what Grandma's do - buy cute outfits !!! I would buy them and leave them at my house and dress her like I wanted to.. But I'm a B ;0) - When Andrew was a 2 and we had join custody he had a set of clothes for my house - cuz he always got sent with crappy clothes. Andrew is enjoying being w/his bro's and sis at his mom's house - he had to work till 9:30 tonite and his bro Michael was upset that he wouldn't be home earlier - I guess he likes hanging out w/him.. We are fine - I think they are concern about me being alone- hell Joseph is calling at 9;30 to ck on me - lol - I guess they don't know I'm a big girl - but I love that they care ;0) Karla - I don't think you are getting enough nutrients - are you taking vitamins and getting pt in - You gotta eat and a too tight band isn't good.. I hear you girl on being able to do what you want - when you want ;0) Candice - I take it things aren't going to welll - you aren't posting... Stop !!!! Love you... Steph - I saw on FB the bedroom is done ;0) That was fast - we want pictures Well it's 9 - my dinner is wating for me - had weight then yoga tonite - so I am going to go watch t.v. and eat ;0) xoxoxo to all

I think both Steph & Jeff are going on a 3 or 4 day curise - I ck's the link - Baja Mexico - Candice What type of job did Peter get - are you going on the road w/John - new singing group ;0) How's the knees/hips Linda - How are you doing - what are you making chicken salad for - company or you and Mel Yep Andrew stopped by - really he came to give me a new chip for my phone and messed w/his - and told me about his day - He's good - I'm good.. Well 5:30 shower time... May get back tonite between gym & yoga - Have a great day peeps
  22. Karla - I usually cook most nites - and then take left overs for lunch - but last night's dinner (fish/pasta/veggies) will be tonites dinner - don't know what I will do for lunch tomorrow - maybe get a salad or take a lean cuisine or WW frozen meal May you should have a few of those in the freeze - you need to eat and it doesn't sound like you can... Bananas can be hard for me - how about a pt shake for lunch - you need your nutrients - I get the pure protein vanilla cream add 1/2 banana and some peanut butter - to die for.. But we have a blender at work - you could make it at home and stick it in the fridge at work.. Had boot camp tonite - tomorrow weights & yoga - Think I will stop and the new italian rest in the hood and get their menu's may have to get something for Wed nite - cuz I get home too late to cook - or should I say I'm too pooped to cook... andrew just got here so signing off

  24. Good Morning Gang... Had a great time at the concert - Nope didn't get DRUNK and fall off my heels ;0) - got a good buzz and had a bit of a headache yesterday morning - slept till 8:30 then laid around watching Hoarder - OMG what pple collect - Karla you gotta watch that show - it will make you throw crap away.. Candice - What kind of job is Peter going to do - Full time?? - I am not a big gambler - didn't play at all - after concert went to the club and danced - got home about midnite - good thing cuz the last drink I had hit me - ate eggs and pb'd and slept really good. ;0) Phyl - Yep saying bye is so hard - but I know you had a great time w/the family..

  25. Good Morning Gang Well went to get tires - they had the wrong size - it was my bad - I thought they were 255's they were 225's - so was there for 1 hr they put the new tires on my rims then the car and they didn't fit - so they had to take them off put my old tires on - and order new tires - I guess I should have looked better w/a flash light - but when I told them what kind of car I have they should have double ck'd - after all I'm a girl Lol I do use that sometimes :smile: Well went to Marshalls still looking for a perfect blouse for tonite - then Ross - got a pair of heels - Steve Madden for $25 - omg they are at least 4 if not 5 inches - but cuz on the plateform and thicker heel - i can walk in them and they are comfortable.. Still have entirely decided what to wear - want to look super cute ;0) Then went to Target and home by noon - put everything up - cleaned up took a little nap - facebooked - read - ate - talked on the phone and that was it.. In bed by 10 - but didn't sleep well woke up a few times. Linda - I eat gf - I love to eat - it's that I haven't been drinking enough water - that's normally my problem when I get constipated.. Andrew being at his Mom's is the best he can do - w/a parttime job he's can't afford rent ;0) - and he has to share a room w/his brother - Joseph hated being an only child - Andrew loved it (being w/me)- so that in it self will be an adjustment for him - his mom has 4 kids who are very rambunctious - I talked w/his friend last night - he thinks I'm happy about him being gone - I told her to tell him I'm not happy in that way - but I can't keep fighting w/him - I love him with all my heart - but I'm not going to be fighting with anyone 24/7.. Yes I do miss him - but not the drama ;0) he's my heart.. But he does have alot to learn about real life - and maybe this is a start - it's mostly my fault - cuz I always gave in - but there are somethings I won't can't give in about - As I told him - it's time for him to make sacrifices for things he wants - I've done my share - now he has to step up and learn that you can't always get what you want.. or think you need.. Your party sounds fun... I get the need and want - I am really trying to differentiate the diff between the 2 when I'm out shopping ;0) I do put alot of stuff back ;o) - but still buy too much ;0) Steph - Mary J Blige is a RB singer - Mary J Blige | Official Site Jamison goes and sleeps in Daddy's chair - how cute - don't know if a new bed is going to change that one - I know Brooke goes to sleep in her bed but usually ends up in DS or sisters bed ;0) You doing great on Yard sale !!! Karla - WTG on getting rid of the stuff - you are going to feel so free ... Ok if I do any gambling and win - we will go to belize ;0) Phyl - I think I loved the huckleberry wine - we had it at one of our Lucky #7 - was it this yr or last yr?? How much longer in Buffalo?? Don't you head out soon.. Candice - Yep they stick it to you w/cables - hell if you buy a printer - you need cables that aren't included.. It takes time to recoup from go go go... I know it's not a 3 day weekend for you - but since you are retired -;0) you have them 24/7 - Well don't know if I'm going to the gym this morning - I do know I'm not doing 2 classes - may go to the Pilos at 10 .. Gotta go to the store and get some adult beverages for tonite.. With my heels - I am going to have to be sure not to get drunk - cuz I will fall off them ;0).. CBL
