So.. here I am..

Florida was cold & busy, my friend that got married on wednesday lost her mother on Thursday. I did have an overall good time though.......

Came back Saturday and was completely zonked out....

Back to work Monday, and ended up getting into a wreck in my truck...... Monday night and yesterday was spent cleaning my office....... Robby had a horrible day... and he goes for a med check tomorrow...

My insurance is having a hard time tracking down the OTHER persons driving info....... waiting for the police report and such..... I'm thinking the mustang was not hers and that even though she was at fault she might not have coverage........ I expect a field agent to see me today and take pics...........

I had to reschedule Cody's counseling apt due to all this craziness and the fact that my mom is going for a fill today Locally instead of Denver.... (not my doc)

Tomorrow I'm taking Uno the wonderdog to get neutered... then Friday is picking up the boys..... not sure how we are going to do this since the truck fits all 6 of us but the exploder doesn't...... POS exploder.....

Next week, I'm actually Leading a local LB support group.... Beverly (Suzie you met her at Malley's) is newly banded and has offered up her house as a meeting place.. I decided that I NEEDED to be inspirational..... so that I may get MY inspiration back..... my friend B who was up a couple weekends ago talked me into it and said I was in a funk and I needed it as much as the newbies needed me......... we shall see.

Thats about it from my world........... :thumbup:

FIRST MEETING ANNOUNCED

P.M. me for address.

Hello Hello!

Beverly and I are closing in on a date for our first meeting....... continue to PM me your info!

I'm back to work........... :confused:

in dfw waiting for my connection .. snagged the free net.. how cool is that! i only have 10 minutes left..... i should of brought my coupons!!!!! lol

up at 3am now its 4 am, and I'm headed out to the airport!!!!! say a prayer for a safe trip for me and for Robby stuck here with dad and cody.........

Laura: LOVE THE PICS!!!!

Judy: congrats!~

I am checking in before I hit the hay... I have a 6:00 a.m. flight from KC to DFW to Orlando....... I'll be back Saturday. I'm not taking my laptop.........

Have a great week.

honestly yes... I have to admit...... and is one of the secret reasons I haven't been able to face you guys..... raising my hand.

Good morning........

I am back from my girls weekend and getting ready to head to Florida for the rest of the week. I have a bunch of work to do today.. so I wanted to pop in and post before the craziness begings.

Have a great great great day!

Good morning V's

I have a busy day at work, preparing for next week when I will be in florida for a friends wedding.

Also my good friend B is coming up for the weekend, she pretty much demanded a girls weekend because I've just been out of touch... I don't know what is going on with me.. but even my mom and sister are wondering why I'm so quiet. B booked us a room and is picking me up and taking me away to a hotel with a hot tub...... DH is pouty about it and I've had to find a place for Robby to go....... Also he is SUPER pouty about me leaving him to fly to Florida next week for a friends wedding......

I sold all my old broken jewelry for spending money... and it will be a VERY budget conscience adventure.... basically I'm hanging at her house and attending the wedding and then flying home on Saturday. I've had to secure Robby care for NEXT weekend too...... just his passive agressive way of making me pay for leaving.

Our money situation is not good either.. he has not been able to put in a full 40 hour week in a LONG time and has been filling it in with vacation days...... which means that he is not going to have the time off this summer.... all the while his ex wife (who we are still paying for Cody) just secretly bought a new house! The 11 year old told us but said it was HUGE secret and he wasn't supposed to tell......... she is a Dave Ramsey follower so this means that she is paying cash...... good for her, but it is hard when I am scraping by selling jewelry to go to a friends house......... and Cody and Robby are seeing a child psych........ meanwhile Robby just got a 3 page write up from school.............. I guess I'm just such a downer I don't feel like being social........... and I'm not eating right....... even with my latest fill...... I ate chicken Fried steak and didn't pb..... 197... I feel like a dumb ass.......

so thats about it.......

Oh and I just ate 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and I'm about to burst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can I get an AMEN??????

LOL Tracy!!!! Get that camera OUT!!!!!!!!!

Hello all who read this.:eek:

We are going to try and start up a support group here in Leavenworth KS.

There are a lot of great groups in the general KC area, but felt that maybe a more local one could be useful.

Banded, PreBanded, Support, or info....... all are welcome.

This group is just in its fledgling stages, so PM me with your real email address and name and I will contact you with mine.

Happy Birthday Trace!!!!!!!!!!!

Kat: that is awesome news!

Suzie: good luck today, and also I wanted to let you know that Beverly and I are going to try and start a little band support group here in Leavenworth..... Beverly has offered her house as the meeting place but we havent decided on a day or anything specific..... I will let you know just in case it might be something you want to do.

Jenn: I hope the new round of meds helps!

I am so relieved to have restriction........

My sister has major back problems and really went through the options when buying a bed.......... she ended up with a temperpedic and she LOVES it!!!!!!!

I have restriction! whooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe just maybe I can stop this stupd regain....... have I mentioned lately that I LOVE MY V'sistahs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am back from my fill and HOLY CRAP I can tell!!!!!!!!

I weighed 200.6 on their scale...... I about puked right there...... but because of that she did give me a fill, said she wanted to get me turned back around. Luckily this morning I weighed 192 so I knew the real number....

No chewing until Friday at Noon........ so I made a Soup mix and I am really full now. GLORIOUSLY FULL! Hope this was the boost I needed to get my act together.

Charles was p.o.'d........ saying "GREAT, Now we get to STARVE again!" I said, "I've GAINED 25 lbs, I've got to get it under control" He just rolled his eyes........ oh well, he will never accept my band..... I've come to realize it.

Have a great rest of the day...........

Oh and if I would let UNO the wonderdog sleep with us he would........ but he has gotten HUGE, and he sheds like a maniac.... so no way..... he is in his kennel at night, and on weekends that it is just Robby and I, I try to let him sleep on a doggie bed on the floor next to my side of the bed...... He usually wakes up about 2:00 a.m. and then I put him back in his kennel......

he is only a year old......

I have a Kingsize bed and I LOVE IT! Not only do we not touch... we have a body pillow that goes between us we each have our own down comforters and about 4 pillows each! HEAVEN....... we sleep much better that way..... I am always hot, with a leg sticking out and I can NOT have my face covered...... where as DH is rolled up like a mummy..... when we are on vacation and forced to sleep in a smaller bed... I usually end up pushed off the side with no covers and I wake up TICKED OFF.....

192 today.......... and a fill scheduled for later this morning.

Tracy, we need a good laugh around here.....Do you have that sign I sent you????Can you take a pic and post it?

I think everyone would get a kick out of it.

why yes I do have it......

Well... one hurdle........... I had a hunk of cheddar.. and then I found a packet of WC oatmeal.. so now my belly is full.. and I didn't hit the candy dish. :tongue2:

I'm here........

all 194.4 lbs of me....... LOL....... seriously though I'm thanking the good lord that I did not go over the threshold........

I ate 2 cheddar wursts last night! No bun, but still....... seriously....... two cheddarwursts dipped in ketchup, and I didn't pb~

So I laid in bed this morning awake from 5a.m. to 6 a.m. knowing that I had promised to weigh....... LOL how silly is that......

I'm nibbling on a hunk of sharp cheddar, and trying to figure out why I'm still hungry.....

tomorrow at 10:45a.m I'm getting what will hopefully be my last fill for 2009....

Kat: you are so right......

Everyone...... have a great great day

OK Trace........ tomorrow I WILL weigh...... good bad and the damn near disgusting I will do it... (I'm tearing up just typing it)...... me and my stupid ass self sabotage.... god why do I do this to myself??? and I'm not taking his name in vain. I'm asking a sincere question...........

Kat: I am beyond words with the grief I feel for you and manda and especially Kinsey....

Michelle: I finally opened your valentine today.... I've been looking at it for a couple days... I've felt like such a failure and non deserving of it......

I'm a blubbering mess right now....... the calls the texts, the Facebook messages..... all willing me back... it really takes my breath away...... thank you...

I have a fill scheduled for wednesday......... as with counseling for both robby and cody......... Charles and I watched the video assigned to us from the counselor.. called 123 magic........
