Ok Mandi, You started this!

We could use this thread for September's goals.

I would like to lose at least 8 lbs.

I will exercise at least 3 times a week.

I will be careful not to eat junk food. I better hurry and eat the cheese Crunches I bought today. I have 2 days to get rid of them. :hungry:

Good Luck to everyone in September!!

I take a multi-vitamin and just break it in half with a knife and then swalow both of them at the same time, that seems to work for me. I know lots enjoy the chewables, but they are yucky to me.

Not doing very well so far with my sept goal. During this week in the barn I have been just popping into the house and grabbing whatever, usually junk. So I'm a little pissed with myself. Lambing should wrap up this weekend, it was very short this time. I'm jumping back in full throttle!! Treadmill, good food, etc.. CLOES BACK!!!!!

Oh Mandi, now stop being a jerk!!! lol

I live in a border town, just a 5 min. ride on a bridge to the U.S. but I've never heard of Walgreens. The town in New York state we often go to does have a Walmart though. They also have a casino. I did look for Vitamins at the casino, but didn't find any there, I did find some slot machines though. lol

I live close to a reservation that is situated in Ontario, Quebec and New York State. When we were kids we used to boat to this bar that was on the reservation. The bar had a line across the floor. On one side of the line you were in Ontario, and the other New York, take two steps out of the bar and you were in Quebec. When you docked your boat you were supposed to report to customs, but most of us never did and they never policed it. When you ordered your drink, you were in New York, the drinking age was 18 at the time, if you crossed the line, you were in Ontario, the drinking age was 21. Good thing no one checked our IDs. The bar is now closed, hasn't been opened in years. We sure had a great time there.

Boy, sometimes I can ramble. I will go to Walmart to look for the Vita-Vims. Thanks for the info

Mandi,

Went to Walmart and found the Vita-Vims. They are much better tasting than the Centrums.

Thanks for the advice.

Question:

Who did you tell you were having the surgery? I told no one except my hb, my sisters ( I have 2) , and my daughter. None of my co-workers know, nor do I feel that they should. The time I had off to recover, I told my co-workers that I was sick with my asthma. I live in a small town and everybody knows each other, so word could spread fast.

The only people that know about my surgery is my husband, I sort of asked him for permission to spend the $16000!! My sister, I need her to come to Toronto with me(it was cheaper than an over night in the clinic). And a childhood friend who has pyshic abilities and always seems to know when things are different for me (like she called me days after my husband confessed of an affair, saying she had a dream something bad had happened to me!! wierd) She lives in northern alberta and I live in Northern Ontario. She called the day I made the appointment for the consult. I can't hide anything from her.

Other than that I will not tell my mom(she wouldn't understand why) or any one else. I live in a small town too and nobody needs to know!!!

The only people that *I* told were my parents and my boyfriend... and my one friend (who happens to be the one living with me right now).. and only her because at the time I was living with her, and I needed to explain why Dr's offices from Ontario were calling me at her house!

My mom has blabbed it to lots of people. I asked her not to, but it obviously was to late... cause she started telling people after I had my consult. Not lots of people (a few aunts, my grandparents... her 'homecare' workers). I'm also from a small town, and I'm very glad I moved, cause I wouldn't want all those people always watching me.

Since I've moved, the only people here that know are my BF, and the girl-friend. I was down maybe 30-something lbs when I got here. I guess my losing is so gradual, no one will ever likely notice. Maybe someday they'll look back at work pictures and see how much bigger I used to be?! It's a little difficult, when we go out for lunch or dinner as a group. I've realized that I need something easy to eat in cases like that. Even then, I'm barely close to being done my tiny bowl of Soup by the time they're done their full burger/fries/pop meals.

I guess it will be the social events that will be difficult when there is food involved. I just had lunch with my sister and two other friends. The two friends commented on how slow I ate. My sister and I said, yeah, I've always been like that.

I'm such a fibber!!!:phanvan
