I love the whole Charleston - Savanha area - never been but cuz of these books I want to go.. Got Joseph's blanket done - Gotta go get baby blanket yarn to start on ones for my new great nephew (or niece) Candice - I'm just not into drinking like I use to be and you are so right - it takes so much longer to recover..

Good Morning - I have ck thread all weekend - you all must be busy - and Phyl pissed at me for the info on the wine LOL...

Good Afternoon Peeps Had boot camp this morning then funeral - then did a little shopping got this great bbq sauce from World Mart - Stockyard BBQ - OMG to die for - I know there is a Stockyard Restaurant in Dallas that's really famous I assume it's from there - going back tomorrow to buy a whole bunch - cuz it's hard to find good bbq sauce and when I find one I love - they quit making it.. So gotta stock up Candice - I don't think I have had rubbard.. Bannana nut bread - omg - that can't be a N American thing - how werid Linda - How' Mindy doing are you home yet Phyl - Wine really doesnt help your bp - I think it makes it worse really This is from the Mayo Clinic - I just wanted to make sure that Dr Janet was giving correct info Question Alcohol: Does it affect blood pressure? Does drinking alcohol affect your blood pressure? Answer from Sheldon G. Sheps, M.D. Drinking too much alcohol can raise blood pressure to unhealthy levels. Having more than three drinks in one sitting temporarily increases your blood pressure, but repeated binge drinking can lead to long-term increases. Heavy drinkers who cut back to moderate drinking can lower their systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) by 2 to 4 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and their diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number in a blood pressure reading) by 1 to 2 mm Hg. If you have high blood pressure, avoid alcohol or drink alcohol only in moderation. Moderate drinking is generally considered to be: Two drinks a day for men younger than age 65 One drink a day for men age 65 and older One drink a day for women of any age A drink is 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of beer, 5 ounces (148 milliliters) of wine or 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) of 80-proof distilled spirits. Keep in mind that alcohol contains calories and may contribute to unwanted weight gain — a risk factor for high blood pressure. Also, alcohol can interfere with the effectiveness and increase the side effects of some blood pressure medications. So gf sorry to say gf - you need to only have 1 period - they can give you meds for the bp - are they talking about changing it.. Exercise and getting some more weight off will help.. Hugs on that proceedure - you are in my prayer - but ya gotta limit salt too i think Well I am off to the couch for a while - cbl

Good Evening Gang Candice Glad to hear you are going to WW - I think it's a great way to learn to eat healthy and helps you be accountable - I gotta say all that I have learned about eating healthy came from my WW days.. It's how I eat today - I know their point system changed - just bought some snack fudgecicles last night - you get 2 for 90 cal or 1 ww pt - well let me tell you they are very small - but you get 2.. I see Phyl got a epdural (sp) back better but leg feeling weird - Phyl hope its better by now.. Karla - how many more days of school Well at 2 get email - the other lawyer want's 3 yrs tax returns - correspondence - names and address of all the partners - copy of partnership papers.. meeting at 9 tomorrow - wish me luck..

I would guess all of us are - but the real issue is that we choose to eat when faced with difficult situations.. The band isn't going to stop your head hunger issues at all - they aren't banding your head - they band your stomach - The band is only a tool - not the quick fix. It's going to stop you from eating a 16 oz steak - but not a bag of candy or a gallon of ice cream.. If you are truly sick and tired of being fat - then you gotta do something about it - yes the band helps but you gotta do the head work - This is truly a lifestyle change in your eating and exercise habits - it's not a diet - it's about eating healthy.... You gotta understand that the reason you are obese is due to the kinds of foods you eat (high fat - high sugar - tons of starches) , the lack of exercise and the quantities of foods you eat. You have to change all those things to be successful.. End of Story.. I will be banded 4 yrs next month - was 52 when banded weighed 250 lbs and I am 5'3 - Lost my weight in a yrs time - have maintained that weight loss for 3 yrs - today weigh between 136 & 138 and I'm 56 yrs old.. How did this happen you ask - how did I do it - how have I maintained #1 I eat healthy (follow the banding rules Protein 1st - veggies and limited starches) #2 Exercise #3 Band I have lost my Brother - have had MAJOR other family issues -all since I was banded - Did I turn to food - Hell no - it doesn't take away the pain - it doesn't make you feel better all it does is make you fatter and more depressed - it doesn't solve the problems So if you want to get banded go for it - It's a great tool - but that's all it is - make sure you are ready to do the head work that is involved cuz truly that's where the majority of our issues w/food lie.. The choice is up to you.. Good Luck on your journey...

Good Morning Peeps Phyl - Hugs on your tech issues - when the box (tv) goes out like that just unplug it for a few and then plug it back in and reboot - it usually works for me.. Too bad those batteries are so heavy - I would carry an extra one w/me ;0) CONGRATULATION on your 1.5 lbs !!!!! Keep it up girl !!!! Candice LOL on food not tasting as good - that's the truth - when I'm eating something I think omg this isn't what I remember - so I just toss it.. I am great at tossing. Well I would at least feel Brian out about the issues - do you think DD has met someone else during her travels. Karla - Why would they sell it to you - they should give it to you - I would take it pay $10 a month ;0) and not worry about it - that's stupid to sell it to family - if I had one got a new one - I would give it to you!!! I don't know crap about growing stuff ;0) I know roses are easy and I love flowers just ask the girls - I have slik ones all over my house. I don't know what kind - I just pick out what I like ;0) What do I have to do to get the soil ready.. Well time to hit the showers... CBL HUGS & LOVE TOO ALL

Good Evening Peeps Took the weekend off.. Linda - LOL I have energy sometimes - sometimes I don't - I find that since I cut my exercise back to 3 days a week I am feeling better.. Glad your hip is healing well. The trip w/Mandy sounds great Candice - Just cuz you have company doesn't mean you have to go totally hog wild - Get back on the band wagon girl... Hugs on Megan issues - Have you talked to Brian Karla - Cut down all my honeysuckles (well the gardner did) - going to replace them with roses - my back yard is going to be a rose garden - I gotta go get soil mix to put in the dirt and next weekend pick out about 20 roses. Everyone Struggling - If you think you are deprived cuz you can't eat your Fav Food - Think Again - Think of the pple in the 3rd world countries- Those pple are deprived. Hell our Hobo's eat better than a person in Somila.. So next time you want that bread - butter - cake - candy to feed your hunger when you have a pt at hand to eat instead and you think Think am I deprived ... Well think again... Being Obese is depriving you of life Karri - You are welcome to stay - just give me a days notice so I can wash the sheets ;0)

Only 6 days left - lucky girl.. I'm almost done w/Joseph blanket - would like to read some - but just haven't had time either.

Good Morning Peep Karri LOL on the sugar - I know it's one of your down falls (like me ;0) so wanted to know if you have tried it yet ;0) - I know it's a little early to be testing your new surgery - but we all know at one point we test things ;0).
