Ah Candice, it sounds like soooo much fun. I'm bummed that I'm missing out, but maybe next year.
Reread my post from last night, I was more tired than I thought, I can't understand half of what I wrote.
I am still struggling with the evening hungries. I hope that it is head hungry and that I can get it under control. I REALLY don't want to go for an unfill. One, I'm a pauper at this moment, two, I'm afraid that I messed up my port and will have to have it repositioned. I do a lot of heavy lifting and the nursery, and every once in a while I forget about the port and 'hug' a heavy pot to my chest to carry it. There have been a few times that it hurt like the blazes at my port site and now my port isn't flat against my skin. I think I tipped it. This is when I really wish that I had gone with the sleeve. I know it is more invasive and not reversable, but if my port is messed up the added cost will be equal to what the sleeve would have cost. Of course 'Doubting Doris' could also be at work. I'm just worried. The evening seems to be my challenge time. I have been budgeting calories for the evening, but I also realize that evening calories stick around. I feel as out of control as I did before the band. Part of it is that I imagine my dinner is low on overall calories. I always have hard protein for dinner. Last night it was 1/2 a chicken breast, probably 2 oz, 1 bite of low cal coleslaw, and a lot of watermelon. I tried to eat more chicken, but as Steph knows, chicken is not my friend. I did have a 98 cal adult beverage before dinner which is uncommon. But lately, I am going into a feeding frenzy at 9 pm. Last night is was 2 FF 50 cal Fudgebars, 100 cal popcorn, and a bowl of watermelon. So today, I am going to get it under control. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Steph, I am so glad Jeff is considering getting banded. Remind him of how important he is to your family. I was very please with Dr. Ortiz's clinic. The only uncomfortable moment is when you are dropped off at the line to cross the border, you have to walk across with all your luggage, go through the border check and then be picked up about a block away. Remember that you know have to have a passport to get into MX now. If Canada's cost is close to MX, I'd consider going there instead even though I had an excellent experience at Dr. Ortiz. Hey, tell them that I refered you, maybe they will give me a finder's fee.
Also Steph, I need your mailing address so I can send you my pack that I bought for the 3 day walk. It will cover the cost of the t-shirts AND I would like you to use it, so I somewhat feel like I was on the walk. I am REALLY bummed that I won't be going. Also, I will get you the yardage required for the hats. I would be honored to sew anything you all need, hats, capes, etc. I hate this having to penny pinch. There won't even be any quilt shopping this year.
I am taking Alexa to orientation at the U, then home to shampoo carpets. Actually, maybe a little nap. Staying up until midnight and then getting up at 6 am is taking a toll.
You all have a good day. I have a bit of the blue's going today.
