Good Afternoon.... Busy at work today.. On hold right now w/ortho doc to make appointment about knee issues.. Appointment 8:45 a.m on Furlough Friday with a PA who can order test... I had to leave the lunch room this afternoon at lunch - we got a delivery of Cheryl Cookies - they are the freaking best.. So deal is - no treats at work so I can have xmas cookies w/Kaitlin & Brooke when they come for Xmas Hell I will let everyone else gain 10 lbs during the holidays :0) and they will all look at me with such great admiration for having such great will power :0) Plus I am going to Florida in Feb to meet the ladies from my mentor thread.. So that's another incentive to keep the weight off.. Ok back to work :0)

Karla OMG you think just like me - I thought the same thing !!! (about if I had left on time) I have been married twice to the same guy and I have 2 dogs and 1 cat :0) But I guess I have turned lesbian (not really - i'm still a hetro-x sexual - since I haven't had any in like 8 yrs - I'm a nun ;0) Angel is a girl dog and she is the one that sleeps with me EVERY night - on the side of the bed that a dh would occupy - Bear sleeps with me most nights but not every night

GF you got a b- be happy - c is passing - wtf you are putting too much pressure on yourself..

My cable co is changing their line up again so that you have to have a box to watch certain channels - but I read something today where you can get a box for 1 yr free I don't know if I would quailfy since i already have one box well take that back now cuz mine is dvr it cost $9 a month - but I couldn't live without it - I have a cable box in the living room (dvr) but we don't have them for the bedrooms - I have the one above basic cable - but don't get movie channels - but truly I don't watch much that requires the box - and I don't watch that much tv in my room and don't think the line change will affect andrew much either.. Ya with the kids coming too up alot of time that I could have used differently - but heck I most likely would be still complaining that I didn't have enough time :0) - there never seems to be enough ;0).. Sweetie I love hearing about diff stuff so keep posting - like you said it's an evening of entertainment and got you to change your focus - WTG Well I am headed to Target - CBL

Woke up at 7 - am having coffee scanned the paper and that's about it.. Candice - I don't know much about channeling - but as long as it puts you in a better place - that's good ;0) Ask for your book back since it's obvious L hasn't read it ;0) I love doggies - but I hate the whole potty training - Cats are so much easier - give them a box and that's it ;0) Phyl - Sounds like you really has a BIG walking day - I am glad you are going to DS for Xmas.. Hope you are able to sneak away to get that gift for Earl :0) - I know that's hard sometimes.. Karla - Batman?? I guess it's not my kind of movie :0)..

How do you decrease swelling around the band?
You may be too tight - the whole stress of having a baby (congrats on that ;0) I would stick to mushie/full liquids and contact your doc.. Also, once at support group someone said to eat ice chips can't hurt - Good Luck - Call your doc...
-
What are the top three things that have made you successful with the Lap Band?...
food Diary (count calories & pt grms) Eating Healthy 98% (not dieting) allowing for treats 2% Exercise As my signature say - Eat healthy + Exercise + Band = Success! Not thinking the band was going to do it for me - I did it I did 75% of the work and the band did the other 25% by providing restriction ..

I have sifted thru gifts - I swear I bought Kaitlin a blouse from Marshalls and My Uncle some tea - but I can't find them... Got a load of wash in - my feet are cold and I am still dresses from the gym (socks & tennis shoes) yoga pants - top and lite hoodie house says 70 - outside 56 - but I'm cold.. Karla - I'm not hungry (well just had a bite of chicken) but hanging around the house will do that. Girl you shampoo your carpets a lot ;0) but with dogs going outside I guess they do mess up the carpet - Lucky I have grass yr round so don't have that problem - but sheba leave dirt on my bathroom counters ;0) Watching TMC - I love old black/white movies :0)

I saw we posted at the same time :0) I had my ipod and was listening to music but not the same on the bike as it is on the treadmill - the gym has a whole bunch of tv's with close caption going - but some had cartoons on - and the one I could read had that show on it - can't remember the name - I would have rather been watching GMA but that tv was too far away.. Thanks - I love lima bean soup good memories cuz my mom made it ;0)- I may just go to the store and make some more today with our gloomy cold weather - but I love it.. I know you come for the sunshine - but since I live here 24/7 and get sun all summer - I enjoy this kind of weather -

Looks like all 3 of us posting at the same time - yep it is chilly isn't it... Yep I was drinking crangrape light (40 cal 8 oz) which is my fav but can only find it at stater bros - target use to carry it but they haven't lately.. Cranraspberry is my 2nd fav... I figure you would think I was drinking wine too :0) the color was a little off - at one time I chugged it - and I thought oh they are going to think I am an alcholie :0)..

Good Morning Peeps... Candice -How old is this little girl?? I guess I am lucky I would say most of our office gets along - there is a little back biting but not much - Hope her seeing the quilt makes her understand that you don't hate her... Well it's almost 7 - got up around 6:30 gotta hit the gym in a few on my 1st cup of coffee.. Karla must have slept in this morning - Good :0) Phyl are you guys going to the tamale fest today or tomorrow - I hate that my gf always has her xmas partry this weekend when there is so much more to do - I really wanted to go see the Temptations tonite - plus they have that parade in palm springs and the Tamale fest.. I don't think I will be drinking tonite or staying late - I plan on taking cran rasberry to drink ;0).. Had some fudge last nite - not too much but had some ;0)

GF HUGS HUGS HUGS !!! Pple don't send cards like they use to - I use to get them - but those days are sorta gone - it's all email and I thought Xmas cards in the mail would be a nice thing - instead of bills and discount stuff that we can't afford anyway.. We all are cutting back - I got most of my gifts at Target Marshall's & Ross - it's not about the cost it's about the thought behind it.. I have an Xmas club savings account - so every Nov I have Xmas $$ I'm like you - I would have left a note too - I did tell my trainer that cuz of the furloughs I might have to quit - so he lowered my fee - he rather lose a little be than all of it :0) so you could have just ordered your fudgesicles ;0) Angel fights bear about their treats - sometime Angel is up on the couch w/me and bear comes by and she will snap at him.. You have friends - You have us - I am so glad Steph brought you to us...
