Hey Gang Well gang when to bro's house - nephew told me before Xmas he was out - so I went and had a key made for Realtor and get to the house - open the door - WTH bags of clothes headboard - motorcycle body - bike - clothes still in the closets - dirty pots on the stove - stuffed animal are all over the house and get this - there's a freaking bird too.. So call DN tell him he has to get his stuff out of the house - that we had 2 calls last week to show it and we need the stuff out !!! - So I went around and put things in order- pilled bags in corners and moved the headboard into a bed room - fed and watered the bird - put his DD stuff in a boxes - just sorta neatened it up.. Told him he has to get it out so that I can;t get rid of DB stuff - problem is there is no electric - so I can't vaccumm - I guess I am going to have to turn it on so I can get the place cleaned up - it's a total fixer upper - thrashed carpet - formica kitchen & bathrooms.. but hell there is bird seed crap and feathers all over the one room.. This took 3 hrs - then went to book store - OMG I am so spoiled by amazon - it's so much easier to find books - they only had the work book and pink book - not the green one - then went to look for books on the holucaust - well they don't have a section - you gotta go look in world history - or bio section- well - I am never going to the book store again - amazon is the only place I am shopping for books.. Then went to grocery store got some eggbeaters for bf tomorrow had 1/2 c steel cut oats today.. Well I want to go read the book - will cbl :0)

Good Morning I was up at 5:30 at the gym by 7 - my 3 miles kicked my ass this morning - i guess it's cuz I haven't been on the treadmill since last friday - I had 7 minutes to go - but the display said 3 miles 500 cal - so I said f it I'm done - Hell I had to really push myself to even go.. I'm like you got stuff to do but don't have a schedule per say I went to jump in the shower but it's 63 in the house so turned on the heaters - got the kitchen cleaned - cooking some steel cut oats for bf - got a load of towels in the wash - head for the shower now - I am just a little pooped - I want to lay around - but since I did that last weekend I got stuff I have to do... So I guess I better get too it.. CBL

No - we just have washed our roads - nothing major just inconvenient - The mudslides in the Los Angeles Area I think - didn't watch the new tonite - also in areas that were devastated by fires

You nut is a nut - she isn't very encouraging is she- I think she's full of BS My starting weight was 250 - I was 52 when banded - lost 105 lbs in 1 yr - 145 normal bmi for a 5'4 person - got down to 138 It's up to you on how much you want to lose and if you get there or not - statistic say that we will only lose 50 to 60% of our excess weight -These statistic are based on our mental issues with food - to me it said that a fat chick can't do it - we aren't capable of making this a healthy lifetime lifestyle change in our eating.. That was enough for me - I choose to prove those statistic's wrong and I did ! I have lost 100% of my excess weight in 1 yrs time By the chart's I should weight 120-130 - I am happy at 138 and really feel that 130 would be to thin at my age - hell I'm in a size 4 - that's good enough for me ..

OMW you guys are cracking me up... My doc said an occasional drink is fine - it's just like someone else said everything in moderation - cuz it's empty calories - For me I didn't drink at all for the 1st few months because my weight loss was more important to me than the drink - but I'm not a big drinker anyway. So it's not like I missed it. It's up to you - weight loss or drink - I wanted the weight loss If I do go out and have a drink or 2 or 3 - I budget my calories to compensate for those that I consumed with adult beverages.

Hey Gang Phyl yep it's 4:30 and raining again - I am going to have to go look for something to siphon my pool if it doesn't stop soon - Candice - I really don't know too much yet - I did soup for dinner and those pt snack things like cheese puffs (slider) I did eat a pt bar and that's went down ok - I didn't try to eat it all at once like I do most foods - but had a bite here and there - did yogurt for bf and soup for lunch - I am having pinto bean soup for dinner too But so far liquids going down just fine.. I've been awake since 3:30 - I am sitting here w/some coffee Oh ya forgot to tell you all dr gave me a scrip for some b12 that you spray in your nose once a week - I was to pooped to stop tonite to fill it - doubt it's covered by insurance but do have a $50 coupon for it.. Going to gym in a.m. - fill that scrip - go ck out my bro's house and hopefully get by the bookstore to get that book Meat loaf sounds good - I haven't had it for a while - I'm not hungry this second cuz I am drinking coffee - but was before I started -

Candice I booked my flight :0) WTG at the gym... Food is good - yogurt/pt snack for bf 230 ca - Lunch Soup 130 cal 1.75 cup That's about it - I've been awake since 3:30 - just woke up feeling like it was 5 - I did stay in bed til 5 but I think it's hitting me right now..

I agree - need more info How's your restriction... What are you eating - portion size - and what's your typical daily food. Are you exercising.. Our bands aren't the magic cure to our issues w/food - it doesn't make your food choices. With proper restiction it make a hard job just a little easier but it's still work.. I am a firm believer in keeping a food diary tracking your calories - Protein and exercise..

Good Morning Gang Karla where are you - you always ck in 1st :0) Well all is fine w/fill - coffee going down - I was very scared when he told me he put in 1/2 cc - I was so afraid of being too tight.. Well it's raining again -5th straight day - but I love it.. To bad it's suppose to clear up this weekend and I can't sit at home and enjoy it.. Well time to hit the showers.. CBL

Good Evening Gang Back from the doc - hell got there right at 3:30 (appt time) it took me 45 minutes - due to so many road closures. Yep that's what happens in the Desert - we have a lot of our road go thru washes and they flood out - and quite a bit of intersections flooded too - I say one stupid person who was in like a honda who got stuck trying to turn a corner that was flooded - there they sat will Water up to the doors and vehicle stalled out - stupid - you could see the water was too high last week I had to drive the long way home cuz the shortest ways intersection was flooded and I didn't want to get stuck - better safe than sorry.. Met the new nutritionist She was nice - they all complemented me on my appearance - Told her that I have been eating healthy but just a little too much and I can't get back to 138 where I am happiest.. My pants still fit but on the tighter side and I have to get a hold of this now - she agreed and liked my way of thinking and it has been 2 yrs since my last fill - The nut said you know week of Soup - I said ya I know but that I would most likely do a day or 2 ;0) Last time I was in his office 5/08 I was 157 - Today fully dressed w/boots on - I weighed 151 (my scale 144.5)- so that's right cuz his scales are about 6 lbs heavier than mine - plus I weigh naked ;0) at home.. So he numbs me up hits my port the 1st time and takes out what was in there 5.2 - I swear we determined last time I had 5 - but he said it's not always exact - anyway had me drink the water - said I was fine - asked him how much he put it he said 1/2 cc so that's .5 - I am ok so far - cooking a soup that I got in Cabazon (cream of asparagus) when Phyl and I went in Nove and have a pot of Beans cooking too - to make my cream of bean soup - I told him last time I was too tight and it took a week to get in - he said if I have any problems to call him on his cell and he would get me in for an unfill - I love Doc Bobby.. Bought some Vitamins when I was there - Protein Snacks (like cheese puffs) and 2 boxes of pt bars - figured I eat the granola bars anyway - these are 160 but have 15 grm of pt so if I do have good restriction they are great for Breakfast at my desk w/some yogurt.. Took along time to get home too So we will see how it all pans out - I just pray I am not too tight - will be taking it easy (soups/mushies) for a few days.. Phyl glad you got out of the house for a bit - I think being in that Motorhome 4 days straight would have me climbing the walls - WTG on the exercise in the rain ;0) Candice agree 2 pple in a converted van isn't enough space ;0) I had to be careful w/oranges - but could eat any other fruit - had strawberries for bf today - sometime watermelon would stick - but most likely from eating to fast - we will see in a couple days what my new restriction is like - prior to this fill and for the last 2 yrs I have been able to eat everything.. Karla - I agree my taste for choc is just the same now as it was 2.5 yrs ago and that goes for grease too - Like I told the nut - I may have a skinny chick's body - but I still have a fat girl inside who would take over if I let her.. Well it's 7:12 going to go eat... Oh Angels' blood test came back fine - her runs have stopped (pretty sure - need to ck her butt she just finished eating) and I got to give her the meds... CBL

Karri Aren't you dedicated I wouldn't be hitting the gym after a party ;0) I gotta do it right after work or I just don't go .. Glad to hear things will be relaxing some for you - you will adjust - or should I say you will find something else to occupy the time that you have lost w/losing that class - I bet you will be just as busy - that's you :0) you can't be still - not like your Mom who loves her quite time and can't live without it :0) Raining Raining Raining - I love it..

Good Morning Peeps !!! Phyl - beading is like crocheting it takes awhile to see the mistake sometimes you can live w/them and other times you gotta start over... Whats the diff between ham radio and cb ?? I need to find out how to drain pool.. Water is up to the bottom of the lip of the concrete.. It's still dark so can't tell if it's cloudy or not - no rain right now Vista Chino closed at the wash so gotta figure another way to get to doctors - as that's the way I normally go - Well not much to report this a.m. was sick of the news already so got on the computer.. cbl

Back from the gym - had a great arm work out - upped the weights - bench pressed 55 lbs - pull downs 60 lbs - tricep behind the head thingie 25 lbs.. I don't have paypal account - I did but I couldn't ever rest the password - so I got pissed at them and sent a letter to them to close my account and cc'd the better business bureau - this was like 5 or more years ago.. So Phyl I will be sending you a check tomorrow.. It's been raining here since 4:30 - Ya I usually go down Vista Chino to get to Dr B office - think I will have to take Ramon and leave like 45 early - sounds like we aren't going to have any computer at work after Noon tomorrow anyway .. We didn't have that much rain yesterday - but this is suppose to keep up til tomorrow - then clear up for the weekend - I think that's what I heard.. I was tempted to pig out tonite - but not going to - Went to Target to get this book the Beck Solution - but they didn't have it - it's not a diet but cognitive thinking (what I pretty much do anyway) but what I read on Amazon - I think it will give me a few more tricks.. One that I read about allowing unplanned treats is that if you do that then you are opening the door to allow more - make a plan and stick to it - period.. Well - gotta go eat - CBL

Drive by post - gotta hit the gym in 5 ;0) Karla - Don't worry about the deposit - us who are confirmed will pay our share and then if you can make it in July you can just pay your share then.. Well gotta jam - I should pig out tonite - fill tomorrow - But that's bad thinking Going to get the Beck Solution - It's about what I am always talking about - will explain more later I gotta jam

Good Morning Gang Late ck in for me :0)... Had to force meds down Angel this a.m and busy at work.. Karla - Hugs on the financial situation - Hopefully the house sells soon. Karri - WTG girl - you are NOT a failure for asking for help do you think your students are failures when they ask for help - hell no - you are human - just not enough of you (thank God) to do 10 jobs at one time :0) !!!! Steph - Glad you are going to be busy doing stuff you like - I am happy for you.. Maybe you should go back to teaching full time next yr - I know you will have to know where you stand w/Michael at that time - but hopefully things will be settled down.. Candice - another late sleep in ;0) How you doing on your snacking - Phyl - it's clear this side of the desert - no rain yet - my appt w/Dr Bobby is tomorrow @3:30 I hope I can get there - I usually go down Vista Chino - If it's raining may have to go Ramon to Indian. Well back to the grind - CBL Has anyone heard from Linda on her RSVP..

Idol in 1/2 hr - Angel isn't eating her food - this med issue is going to be a pain in the ass hell no it's not fair - you should have to pay for what you use not a standard - but I guess you can take all your left overs and make something up.. I am pretty sure 7 confirmed Me Karri Steph Rose Karla Linda Candice - that would be $38 each - I'll pay for Karri - she can pay me back when she get's her refund..

Well came home - my little angel has had the runs for 3-4 days so took her to vet - she got a shot - 2 med for runs - 1 for ears and blood test - Guess how much ??? Then on top of that - trying to get this liquid meds down - omw - got the diarrhea med down - but the antibiotic are suppose to be w/food so put it in her food but she hasn't eat it..
