TracyK

Thanks ladies...it really is a naner boobie kinda day for me!! I only ate 2 of the cookies I baked yesterday and before I went to sleep last night I had a guilt complex about it so I got up and ran in place until I thought I was gonna pass out. Then I layed down in bed and thought 'well, if it is still 206, at least I did my part'. Right now my house smells like carrot cake. Macy and I are going to do the cream cheese frosting in a little while. Kat-sounds like Kinsey (and Grannie) had a fantastic time!!

I did it....I finally did it! What a joyous occasion it was when I stepped on the scales this morning! 204.5. :thumbup: How is *that* for incentive to behave myself over the holidays? I never wanna see that dumb number again. I have so much to be thankful for. I am truly blessed. I have a Godsent family, I am healthier than I have ever been (even though I gained some weight back), I am a nonsmoker for the first Thanksgiving since 1983....my family is healthy, I have a great group of friends here on this site (shout out to the violets WOOT-WOOT)). I may not be rich in money but I am rich in every single other aspect of my life. What more can someone ask? OMG, I am going to sit here and make myself cry. There are so many people who are not as happy as I am right now. That breaks my heart. Some have lost loved ones this past year, some are homeless, jobless, so many scenarios. My heart goes out to them. I am counting my blessings. Whether I am 400 pounds or 130 pounds (yeah right), I am blessed. Thank you God. To anyone who might be reading this blog...have a wonderful Thanksgiving and do not eat anything you might regret on Friday. Make healthy choices. Now if I can practice what I preach I will be in business!! Once again....BYE BYE 206.....

I did it, i did it!!! I am no longer 206....I am 204.5. WOOHOOO!!! OMG, I am SO happy!!! :wub: I have waited about 6 weeks for this!! :wub::hurray::tt2::pray2: Thank God!!

OMG...the house smells SO good!! Here are a few pics of my kitchen helper

Still 206 after 5 or 6 weeks...oh well, at least it isn't 207 :confused: I am in the baking mood so I am gonna go bake some thanksgiving desserts. I am glad that I am not craving sweets right now. That would be a disaster. My daughter loves to bake with me though and we hardly ever get to do it so it will be loads of fun. I may even take some pics and post them. I really have this feeling that either tomorrow or Thanksgiving morning I will get on the scales and be under 206....like 205.5 then be too paranoid to actually enjoy Thanksgiving. Oh well, it would give me one more thing to be thankful for!! I wanted to be back in onederland but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. :thumbup:

So I am the one who has lost her mind after all. I just got back from buying pie, cakes & cookie ingredients. Have I gone mad or just domesticated? I am gonna have fun though. I have always been in the workforce during the holidays and when I had to make something for the holidays I would gripe about it while I was doing it because it was just 'one more thing' I had to do. THIS time it is different and I am lovin' every minute of it and so is Macy! I will peek back in later :thumbup:

you know I love ya Trace! :thumbup:

Me thinks the other Tracy is losing it

Good morning violets! Pamela-I love long posts! Thanks for sharing what you have been up to because we have been thinking about you and this difficult time you are going through. Macy is out of school all this week! Michelle-wow, that is gonna be one HUGE grocery bill. I know, already been there & done that. Here I sit broke. I see a Mikes Hard Lemonade in your future! Terry-I am so jealous of Hero. I really am. What I would not give to have a warm big ole dog to cuddle with on these cold nights! There is just a feeling of security when a dog is near. Is it just me? Suzie-I can not even imagine going to a childs funeral. I was supposed to go to one but I just couldn't. I prayed about it and the Lord gave me a free pass for that one. Some things people can handle, some can't....THAT is one of my can'ts. :tt2: Judy-Could you please UPS me some snow? I am like Terry in the thinking that there would have been some kind of fireworks at your church the other day. I can understand you keeping your mouth shut. Must be really hard to do. You are to be commended. :thumbup: TracyinKS-I wanted to say thanks again for the flying monkey! How are you doing? Haydee-I know you have big plans for Thanksgiving, right?! House hopping or one huge event? Jane-still hanging in there? I am. Kinda lik walking on a treadmill, ya know, walk walk walk and never really get anywhere? :w00t: lol Jenn-what are your Thanksgiving plans? Laura-I saw on facebook you said you were painting christmas cards...whatchutalkinbout? Sounds fun. Kat-the lady that makes the candles & lotion....do the candles really put off the smell when you light them? Some don't and that aggrevates me. I love yankee candles because they always smell up the whole house! :tt1: Denise-are you excited about having a new house to have Thanksgiving in? I'll bet that is so exciting. Are you loving it? Gina-come out come out wherever you are!! Well I am still hanging in there @ 206. Maybe I can go under for Thanksgiving? I'll probably be 205.5 Thanksgiving morning then not want to eat one morsel of anything tasty...THAT would be about right. Yesterday and the day before I walked a mile each day. Plan on doing the same today & tomorrow. It is really nice outside. Kinda cold but I would rather kinda cold than kinda hot! I have been typing this post for a very long time and would be super duper PO'd if I went to post it and lost it! Have a wonderful day friends and make healthy choices!!

macy called her mawmaw & pop to tell them that her momma got a surprise in the mail today but she didn't get one:crying:....needless to say the mailman will be bringing her something very soon! lol what a girl! Judy-love the lights...makes me feel all christmasy inside :cursing: goodnight all...sleep tight :thumbup: (I got tired of waiting to be able to change my weight on my ticker so I at least was able to change the style of it:tongue2:)

Tracy...I got mine too. What a hoot! Macy LOVES it! I told dh the significance it holds and he thought it was funny. I don't know who played with it more...him or Macy! Now I will have to try to get it away from her just like the Ty beanie baby giraffe Laura got me! lol Thank you so much sista

:thumbup: Here I am. Sorry about that! I have been doing so many different things that I do not know whether I am coming or going! Good news...it WAS fluid retention and I am back down to the 206 I never go under which is a relief!! Never heard of fluid rentention while having a virus! Oh well, alls well that ends well. Laura-strange thing...I QUIT having reflux problems when I got pregnant and never had it come back?! Was able to stop meds when I got preggo and never had to start taking them again. Strange. Jane-I am gonna send you an e-mail right now... I still have alot on my plate so I am gonna get off here for now but I will bbl.... ((((Pamela))))

Hi everyone-just coming in real quick to say have a great night & sweet dreams....

Kat-thanks for the website...I am gonna check it out. I am a sucker for that kind of stuff :laugh:

Good afternoon violets (or morning, depending on where you are) I have already walked a mile this morning (go me) and have cleaned the house so now it is computer time Judy-I am gonna be one of the nutcases out the day after Thanksgiving doing my Christmas shopping. Never done it before and am kinda looking forward to it in some insane way. :w00t: TracyinKS-how does Robby like wrestling? Laura-was your dh sick very long? I am glad you did not get it!! Pamela-((((hugs)))) Jane & Suzie-hope you two have a good time today & be safe. Michelle-sounds like your ds and his friends had a blast. Oh, to be young and carefree.... Haydee-how are things going? I hope you are feeling better! Terry-What are you up to this fine day? If you hear of anyone selling a good used SUV or van, let me know. We are gonna get one and are shopping around :w00t: Just having to be extra careful not to get a water damaged IKE vehicle! Jennifer- :laugh: hi there sista! Denise-once again....what a CUTE pic! I had some antlers like that on macy in a few of her pics. TOO CUTE! Kat-what have you been doing to keep yourself busy. You and Michelle are probably the 2 busiest people I know! To any violet I may have missed :laugh: Have a great day everyone!! Make healthy choices. By the way, 2.5 of water weight has come off, so I am happy again:biggrin: 1.5 more to go to get back to 206. That is more like it.

Checking in right quick... gonna go for a walk with macy then we are coming back for a quick afternoon nap :smile2:

Jenn-so good to hear from you! So we are in the same boat weight wise, huh? sucks! How are you going to decorate your kitchen?

Pamela-so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. You and your family are in my prayers. I am so glad that you have Susanne there to suport you in this difficult time. Hugs and prayers to you! Denise-sorry about your situation. At least the babies have a loving caing grandma! Violets-have a good day and be careful in whatever you do. Make healthy choices. Since I have climbed out of the enchilada gravy I plan to start this journey over again....again. :smile2:

omg pammy I am SO sorry :drool:

:w00t: as a matter of fact... :tt1:

Have fun michelle! I am so disgusted. How the heck can I weigh 209? Can someone please explain to me how after as sick as I have been I gained 3 pounds? I think if I am going to gain weight I may as well dive face first into some enchiladas today! you all make good choices...I probably won't practice what I preach today. If I am gonna gain I wanna give it a reason to gain...you know, do it the FUN way! UGH...WTFever!

Hi again...just woke up. I have had a glass of gatorade next to me since the beginning. My temp never went over 101 thank goodness. When I felt nauseus in the very beiginning I tried Emetrol but nope...so I knew I was in for it! I will go to the band dr sometime within the next month. I would go sooner if I thought they would let me in on my good looks but since they won't, I can't. I had a little oatmeal this morning and it went fine. I will call my dr and tell them what happened. Good news...no appeals!! Our lawyer said the checks will be mailed now thru the 8th of December which is the deadline. Sooo, we are gonna be some mailbox checkin' fools!

Good morning everyone- I am out of bed but am so woozy and I have a headache and am weak. But at least there is no nausea. It wasn't band related. On Tuesday all day dh had it but his wasn't the vomit kind, his was the other end :thumbup: then Tuesday night at about 9PM I started feeling like I was gonna throw up and BAM..(not pam, lol) it started and I threw up at least once an hour. It was really horrible. Terry, it was suppositories I asked for too because I would not have been able to hold down a pill. I have stayed away from macy and am praying she doesn't get it. I do not know what I would have done without Frank. Talk about a Godsend! Mom said f Frank would have been working she would have come and gotten her. Thank you all so much for the texts and Jane for the call and the kind words on here. As far as the lawsuit, we are going to call today and see what we can find out. Hopefully no news is good news. TracyinKS-I am so happy that things are turning around for you! Laura-looks like excima (sp) to me too. Macy had it and I used aquaphor cream on it and it healed right up. Michelle-I am so sorry to hear about your friend. That is so sad :frown: ((hugs)) Judy & Jane-thanks for passing along my messages for me! I really appreciate it! Kat-it is a money thing about not going to the band dr yet. I really do not think the band is damaged. I will baby it the next couple of days with mushies and then see how solids go. Luckily I only have 1.5 in there. I am going to make an appt as soon as I can just to make really sure it is OK. Pamela-I am so proud of you for working so hard on your diss. You are goinna have one heck of a party when your done right?! Haydee-hope you are doing good. :eek: hiYa suzie, denise and the other violet that I know I forgot and am too weak to get up and look at my picture, please forgive me. wow...I am so sleepy again. maybe I should sleep little more? I don't know if I should or not. Have a great day today and make healthy choices!
