Good afternoon gang 10 mintues til I have to leave - not time to start anything.. Phyl - How are you feeling this afternoon - what's wrong Candice - how was your time w/your mother.. Karla - FYI - I have called in the reinforments - you are not backing out.. Well have gym tonite - will ck back later..

Phyl - Why are you depressed.... What's going on????

Candice You haven’t let anyone down – You DESERVE to be healthy… God doesn’t dole out punishments/rewards – when someone we love dies – it’s not God punishing us – when something good happens it’s not a rewards – life is life – it is what we are given and we have choices on how we deal with what we are dealt with and I think there are lessons to be learned from those experiences – good and bad.. Yes there are terrible things happening in this world –– you want to help the starving pple of the world – take that $$$ you spend on junk and put in a jar and then once a month go donate it to your local homeless shelter – you wanta help – there you go – I just gave you a way to kill 2 birds with one stone … ;o) Some can do it on their own – some can’t – we are all diff – it doesn’t make one stronger or weaker – it’s life it’s our learning experience Definition of instantiy – doing the same thing over and over again and expecting diff results – this is a lifestyle change not a diet – you know sugar is your weakness – so don’t keep it in the house and when you you want to go out and buy some put that $$$ in the jar. Sweetie – I know that you don’t believe me – but you can do this … you really can’t – you can have your health – you deserve it – and you can still have an occassional treat :0) I gotta get back to work… CBL

Good Morning Gang... Well I don't know if it's a good morning - reading that Karla is going to bale - I guess we are just going to have to kick her ass- I will get a hold of Steph - she wonl't let her bale Well kids leave this a.m - I go to work then gym tonite - life will be back to normal .. cbl

Good Morning Gang.. Sounds like everyone is doing fine.. Candice - Prayers for a safe surgery... Scary - don't think I want someone messing with my eyes - I have friends who have had it done and it's all good me - well that's another thing :0) I'm chicken ;0) Phyl - I think Earl is going to break down about the dog issue soon - 3 miles is a big goal - take it slow - I bet you can do it You are doing great w/your food.. Karla - You got your exercise !!! Just don't over cook your chicken and take tiny bites... Chew really well - think about it - just don't eat on auto pilot - if I eat anything on auto pilot I get stuck - but if I chew I am ok.. Kids here til tomorrow - love them to death - but will be glad to have my house back ;0) - Kaitlin will be staying till 7/11 - lucky me - a girl in my stuff - I don't like that ;0) - Andrew will be watching her while I'm gone - OMG I sure hope that works out ;0).. Well he will love playing big bro..

Good Morning Gang - I slept till 8 a.m. !!!! Not much going on today - kids leaving in a few to melissa's mom's house - Yea a few hrs of quietness !!! Need to run to the store for some milk - and then coming home and veg for the afternoon...

Good Evening Gang Girls & I went to the Mall today - got kaitlin a bathing suit top - it's hard to find one she 34 dd - I got a suit for vacation in Nov and then had gym tonite Yep Candice you got exercising painting - and need to get back into the routine at home.. Phyl you are doing so great - I bet after a week w/your puppy Earl will be ready for one. Well - I'm going to hang cbl Karla - you are done w/school !!!!

Good Morning Gang... Went to the show yesterday - Andrew & Brooke saw Shrek the rest of us went to Killers - slow slow beginning - fell a sleep woke up wasn't any better so Kaitlin and I left and went to Ulta (it's sorta like Sephora - scaled down version) then came home and got in the pool but it was windy so we just bbq'd and watched tv and talked Food was good till I had some choc cake ;0) - there is boot camp this a.m at 10:30 I may just go and I have gym at 5 tonite.. Phyl wtg on the gym - lol w/tracy & jim.. Karla - what did you fix for dinner - I hate that but ususally after I pb I can continue eating. I had steak last night asparguss & 1/2 of a very small baked potatoe.. Got some concealer from ulta it doesn't pump now I have to go all the way back to Rancho Mirage today,,

Phyl You are doing Great !!!! 90 something here today low 90 I think haven't watched the news.. Going to the show - Andrew & Brooke going to see Shrek and I think the rest of us going to see Kill (katherine heigal - ashton curchers) what ever their names are ;0)

Good Morning Gang Gym yesterday and when I got home kids - here - good to see them - Brooke was in the pool when I got home (Karla - she already knows how to swim - but I hear you on not moving enough and not eating healthy enough) Think we are going to the show this afternoon - beach is going to be cold - disneyland etc cost too much - hell in 5 months we are going to our resort - so need to watch $$ Ya Phyl my gas after surgery was so painful i need a pain shot ;0) doubt that yours was that though - you haven't been pumped up with gas ;0) Yea Karla - last day of school -!!! Lucky girl..

Good Morning Gang Phyl - Could be gas - try gas x strips ... If I remember right you had your gb out.. Ya 1 sauage would have been good and yes veggies are free - so if you are hungry eat more of them.. Only a week to go to see if you can get refilled.. You are doing fantastic !!! Yep any restaurant w/over 20 now has to post their calories - I think it's a good incentive to eat better - this is why I feel reading calories is a good thing - makes you think twice - WTG on your choices.. Karla - my DS & DIL are killing my Brooke and it kills me it really does - she's 75 lbs 6 yr old that is the weight of an 11 yr old.. My arms/chest may be a little sore - for me it takes a day or 2 for me to feel it - and my calves - we did 3 diff kind of calf raises.. Well time to hit the shower - Kids should be here this afternoon - thank God only 1 day at work - I may take my xanax w/me..

I'm alive !!!! It wasn't that hard - I was sweating like a pig - and did get a workout - but I could hang... You have a step - you have hand weights - I pick 5 lbs - since I didn't know what to expect - one of the arm exercise (lats I think) were a little hard and felt triceps - but on the rows - I need way way more weight - you do lungs - step on the step bench - balance on one leg raise the other - My balance isn't that of a 30 yr old but I did ok - better than I thought. Then Abs - I may have sore abs did this leg raise that I really felt in my lower stomach - you know that pouchy part of your tummy Oh we did this thing weaving the weights between your legs you know like a basket ball - The only part that was the hardest for me was on the step (2 levels up) is when they went real fast sorta jumping over it not jumping but going real fast - I did pretty damn good for a 55 yrs chickie.. My gf who went w/me is 61 and she did well too - They had yoga afterwards - she didn't want to stay next week I am going to stay... This is going to be my new Tuesday exercise... Yes Karla - if you all lived w/me - I would be your Jillian - I wouldn't scream and get in your face - but I would give you a look - that would have the same results..

Good evening Gang... I am going to BOOT CAMP @ 5:15 tonite !!!! Yea Janet - we will see if I can type afterwards. Phyl - WTG on food - You are doing fab - How did the hair turn out.. You have to be really proud of you !!!! How does the tummy feel?? Candice - Glad to here that you weren't avoiding us - It's all said with love - but you know what if you are happy where you are at - the stay there. If you can maintain this weight then you know it's up to you... I know I want you to get to goal - Hell I want everyone to - I feel that maybe I harp too much - but really girl if I can do this so can everyone else - I am no diff than you... So if you want to stay where you are at and are happy with it - then I will be happy for you to and leave you alone.. Karla - How was your day - Here's mine - 60 emails this morning - then at 3 Paul comes and gives me something that I gave him on 4/6 and then on 5/24 said he would handle - well he didn't and now is telling me too - I work only tomorrow and he will be gone all next week and this account renews 6/24 and he never sent the app to the insured to get completed - Never took care of the 2 apps that were completed on the 2nd of June - and has never gotten a quote (after I did the application) for a new account that thinks they have coverage... Big man on campus who has this new deal with this company and they haven't come thru... Then the other boss is bugging me on an email he sent me this morning - This afternoon I was soo frigging pissed - I was in tears - I went to main boss van who is my new producer and complained about Paul - I can't work this way... Plus I will be gone 7/1 and we have renewals that he's sluffing on.. Good thing I have boot camp this afternoon - I will feel better when I am done

Good Morning Gang Power is back on so I guess I will have to go to work ... Karla those pb/cheese crackers have like 190 cal each and aren't very nutritious. Chew gum instead of snacking... I still hate Fathers day - but the 1st one is the hardest - my dad died like a week before fathers day - his rosery was on fathers day - i put a card in his coffin.. Candice - We are here for you - tell us what we can do to help - Phyl how was your day - I saw on fb that the rain quit and sun came out for a second.. You posted that you wanted to eat inappropriate foods - you know that doesn't have anything to do with your band - but your head - are they foods that you couldn't eat with your band but not that you are unfilled you can.. You might be unfilled but I bet you still have some restirction.. just a tiny bit - think about that when those thoughts hit your head - say ya I'm unfilled but I still can't eat _______ Well off to the shower Yesterday - weight training 1 hr - food - tostada beans & cheese - dinner ck & rice - snack popcorn -1 sf ice cream cone and 1 pb cracker and ALL MY WATER :0)

Home from work - got there at 7:30 no power - it was out since 4:30 a.m. - the sent us home at 9 - we are on call.. Washing and getting the house ready for the kids - don't know why cuz all they are going to do is tear it up... The guest room looks like a shambles when they are here. If I had known that they would have moved away - I would have had the extra space in the garage (double tandum garage) into an extra room - but who knew ... Well back at it - need to do the kitchen - or I will end up on the computer all day..

Good Morning Gang Karla - I don't have tea roses - well my white ones are small and have like 4 blooms on a branch - I like regular roses myself - did have a tree but for some reason it died - I don't really garden - I just fertlize my roses and cut them ;0) that'a about it .. I slept pretty good - I go thru spurts where and do then I don't.. Food yesterday - handful popcorn - 2 tacos nonfried shells - small sf ice cream cone - juice - I know I ate something else but can't remember what - maybe I didn't I am trying to relax about food - not meaning about not eating healthy - I just concentrate on healthy - eat when I am hungry and on the weekends when I am doing stuff - don't get hungry - it's when I am bored oh ya I ate pb/cheese crackers last night ;0) Well off to the shower - 3 days of work this week... Something to look forward too.. Have a great day peeps... coxoxoxo J

Phyl - You are doing excellent on your food !!! Yep you can walk - tell that to Earl - it's habit for him - how long did you use it (scooter) Oh that's right you will be here that time of year - I forgot about that ... Debbie said she would but last time she only came once in the 2 or 3 days I was gone - I had the dogs w/me she just had to feed Sheba - when I got home she had no food Debbie lives w/DS and still fixes him Breakfast - packs his lunch and cooks dinner - even when we are going out she makes sure she fixes him dinner - the boy is like 35.. She was hesitant - my biggest concern is nights - they are use to being left alone during the day - but at night they are use to having me home.. Tell him I would turn on the gas for the jaccuzzi ;0)... Ryder is going to Andrew's Mom's house so it's just Bear Angel & Sheba.. Karla - Well lifting 100 lbs is most likely what caused your hanging problem in the 1st place ;0) Why don't you get a wagon ... OMG I am so smart ;0) Get a wagon and you won't have to make so many trips ;0) So glad you had a good day.. And will be working the nursery during the summer - I know you enjoy that job.. I didn't get out of the house til noon - got my target shopping done - food shopping for the gang - pantry straighted up - fridge cleaned - food put up - washed - getting ready to hit the couch.. Don't know if we are going to the beach - just ck'd the weather 67 on Thursday... Would like to go to Disneyland - Brooke has never been but schools are graduating - so don't think it's open to the public (Grad Nite is always at Disenyland) Well we will figure something out... Candice you aren't talking food - so what's up girl !!!

Good Morning Gang Got to sleep in till 7 this morning and you all know that's late for me.. Phyl - hear you about no middle grown w/Earl - Hugs.. I sure hope you get a doggie soon.. I agree - you don't need that scooter - I started to post about it the other day when you said you were on it - but didn't want to offend and I know that you cross a big busy street to get to your coffee lady.. But You don't need the darn thing!!! Earl is just so use to bring it along - remind him you had knee surgery and can walk now.. I hope the all inclusive is going to be a good experience - we are going to a top notch one - so fingers crossed. I know Linda enjoyed her's but the place she went was so big - that it was like a mile from the room to the beach - that's what I read on trip advisor about it. I really want the Oasis of the Sea cruise - want to see that ship - they are coming out w/a new one 12/5 something with an A - Assure or something like that .. Well maybe next year we can make our get together later in the year and do a cruise ;0).. Now I just gotta find a dog/house sitter.. and if I can't I guess I will have to kennel them - poor things in cages for a week.. Karla - sometimes you can't take plants and fruits across state lines.. If the more you carry those buckets the stronger your arms will be - you need weight training - and in a way carrying those buckets is weight training - just cuz you are older doesnt mean you have to be weaker - I think my arms are stronger now than 3 yrs ago.. Candice how did the visit go w/the kids - how much wine ;0) Well gang it's 9 I gotta get my shopping done (kids will be here Wed and I gotta get some food and clean out the pantry and fridge) finish my washing and veggie till I have to go back to work tomorrow - another short week as I have Thrus & Friday off - Going to the Beach on Thrusday.. CBL

Phyl - I love your DETERMINATION !!!! WTG :thumbup: YES YOU ARE GOING TO PROVE THEM ALL WRONG !!!! Report away !!!! I love to hear what pple eat anyway... Oh on the towels - 8 girls yes I get it - well I am one who uses the same towel all week - but we can wash too - so no biggie - but we do need 16 towel - 2 per girl - :0) Of course I would go to Mexico w/you !!! 7/1 can come fast enough can it - I think I would kill him - he would drive me to eat - he weighed the steak - I rarely ever measure food now a days. I am pretty good at portion sizes - plus i eat out of 1 cup bowls and small plates.. I would have said no it's not - I was 8 oz !!! Give me your steak - you can eat mine.. I guess there is a reason I'm not married.. Candice - I will be in RED WHITE & BLUE on the 4th !!! I always am ;0) - I got a cute top from QVC but it's too big - sending it back Monday - don't know if I should order xsmall or small- normally in most tops I am a medium and that's what I ordered but i am swimming in it - so I am thinking xsmall - I even have shoes with Flags on them... Don't think I will be bringing them due to the carry on limitation - Miami vices are red/white - I like them - have to add something blue. Karla - Girl you should have been a farmer ;0).. Well - food today - popcorn - 1 egg 1 slice lite bread 1 slice 2% cheese - made navy bean soup havent' had it yet- and today is treat day - got a reese pb candy ;0) Well I have booked our Vacation 11/27 - 12/4 - Kaitlin will be celebrating her 16th bday on 12/1 - Well if she lives that long - talked to melissa this afternoon - she is at that I hate my kid stage and would love to kill her right now - Kaitlin is being a mouthy little bitch- she doesn't know when to shut up - and she pits joseph against mom - joseph is always giving in - wonder where he got that lol - but he's worst than I ever was..

Phyl - I talked to my doc about sleeve - he said if Ilost my band - I would have to gain the weight back to get the slevee - I have Aetna - but I think they excluded WLS - Mexico is where I most likely would go if I couldn't keep the weight off - but I think that since we have learned to eat healthy - that we could keep it off - we did the work - the band just helpped.. I am pretty sure that stuff you sent said towels were included - it's a turnkey property so I think it should.. You are doing great under 200 - and don't let that notiion into your head you are going to gain - I bet you don't..

Candice - We are here for you and you can't get the lasik till you lose 20 lbs - then that will be your reward.. How about that. We gotta play little games w/ourselves - I think that's a good one - lose 20 lbs then get the surgery.. But if you don't loose the 20 you can't get it - you spend $$$ on botox - you want to spend $$$ on eye - you have already spent the $$$ on your band - work your band 1st then move on to the other things as rewards..

Karla nope 107 isnt too hot for pool - it's perfect really - yes I put sun screen on - especially the face but will tan the body a bit - I tan if I go slowly.. Well off the to gym cbl

Good Morning Gang Up early as usual - angel got me up at 4:30 but we went back to bed - but then Ryder got in the trash it was 5 - hadn't gone back to sleep - so wth just got up.. Gym at 8 anyway.. Karla - Hugs - Yes you need some gf - I guess I'm lucky for never have moved - I grew up here and have my friends - some since grade school - some since high school - some from my work. Ya the pee would piss me off - well once your backyard is fenced you can put the dogs outside.. I am pretty lucky mine are house broken - Angel 99.9% Phyl how are you doing today?? Hugs - I sure hope Earl leaves you alone you got enough on your mind w/o him bugging you.. Candice -I wish I could give you the magic answer so that you didn't turn to food when you are lonely or upset.. Maybe that bood women food god may help you.. I don't know - I feel helpless -and I hate that feeling.. Well agenda today - Legs/Weight @ 8 - then AAA to book vacation.. Maybe ck out bro's house to see what nephew left - and if they picked up the trash I can dump some more stuff - I think thats about it - suppose to be 107 today.. Maybe i'll get in the pool

No boyfriend - I like your DH he seems like a very great guy - if he was a butthead - I'd say go for it - but Peter isn't :0) lol Here's the link to the resort... Bhttp://www.barcelo.com/BarceloHotels/en-GB/Hotels/Mexico/MayanRiviera/MayaPalace/Home 11/27 to 12/4 - I am going to miss a class reunion that's being held that weekend.. I would really love to go.. But it is what it is..

Phyl You better tell Earl to LYTFA - all that's going to do is make you eat more just to spite him - omg - doesn't he know this - I know that's the way I am - tell me not to eat - I am going to eat more.. Hugs Hugs Hugs You need to stand up to him and eat what you want - not what he wants you to eat..
