Count me in for walking Friday night and most likely Sunday AM.

6pm Friday, ok, if not let me know, I can possibly get there by 5:30pm this Friday, just let me know

I just got home from my administrative assistant dinner with the bosses. We went to Carraba's up in chadds Ford. I was good, some baked scallops and shrimp and a few fried calamari. I passed on dessert and had Decaf coffee. It was so good and I ate it over a 45 minute period so it was not an issue with any pbing or feeling too full.

Talk wit you all later.

Look forward to another fun walking evening.

I would love to walk Friday night. 896/40 at the park?

I work at the University and I plan on starting the gym this weekend. But walking with a great group of people would help alot as well. Now, I have to ask, are you gals marathon walkers? I am NOT. :rolleyes2:

Cool Kim/Lynn! See you both at 6.

Kim - I am not a marathon walker! They kicked my butt the first time I walked. I huffed and puffed. We keep up a pretty good pace, but we are walking!

We usually meet by the trash bins near where the walking path begins.

Kim - we missed you? we waited until around 6:15 and when you did not show we headed out. Lisa showed up too. planning on 8:45am on Sunday, same place..

Lisa - I got home, showered and was out the door and after I got home from dinner I thought it might be too late to give you a call.

So I'll try SAturday morning to get hold of you, or you can give me a call.

Who else is planning on the support group meeting at APEX building on Tuesday night and the other meeting Wednesday night with Dr. Wynn?

You should consider walking at Longwood Gardens this weekend. I took the kids today, and the tulips are amazing! I think their tulips are my favorite display of the year. I doubt they'll last too much longer.

As for me - I had to cancel a fill today. :w00t: I didn't realize I needed a referral until they called this morning. I really need a fill, too. I don't think I've lost anything this month. I'm afraid I was lulled into a false sense of security due to my sucess thus far, and I let myself get pulled into the late-night salty munchies trap. That, and I know I'm just plain eating too much. *sigh* I've got to get myself back on track.

On the plus side, I made it to the gym today AND went to Longwood Gardens. The latter isn't exactly a power walk, but we covered quite a bit of ground.

I wish I could make it walking with the group. That sounds like fun.

I'll be there definately on Wednesday night not sure about Tuesday night. If you all are going then I probably will. However, that takes away from exercise time.

I know the groups take away from exercise time, and I do enbjoy the walks, I wish the meetings were at 7:30pm, we could walk and then go to them :w00t: but that is wishful thinking

I am free every night this week, but do plan on attending both meetings, at least for now.

I may try to get a walk in during the day on Tuesday. I am working half day and have a lull in detween my 2 doctor appts. anyone want to go to the dentist for me :tongue2:

See those who are walking Sunday 8:45am

Longwood gardens is a great place to visit, I have not been there in years

I am so sorry for missing you Friday night. I have 2 teenagers and my son had wrecked his girlfriends car. He is fine, THE CAR NOT SO GOOD. I will try to make walking this week if you have days in mind. Not sure I will make it in the morning.

Again, truly sorry. Thanks for waiting anyway.

See ya all tomorrow at 8:45 am. I can walk Monday and Friday. I will try to go to the meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday is a health fair and they will have displays and such. I want to go both nights. Hopefully, my son's father will be OK with that.

Yuck....fell off the wagon today. I am dusting myself off and getting back on. I definitely need a fill. There is a possibility I may call to try to get an early fill.....

Went to a wedding tonight. Did not have any food. Went after the food was served. Felling really good about that. However, had a glass of red wine. Did not bother me at all. Thought I would get sick. Maybe drunk. But I was ok. I am sure there was a lot of calories in that glass though.

Felt good to have a few pounds off my body and to wear a skirt. I like this loosing weight thing!!! Even got out and danced a bit on the dance floor.

three sixty six - glad to hear from you. finals have to be so time consuming. I always hated them and for law school. Not sure I would be handling that, but you hang in there, almost done with the semester.

At least you'll have a bit of relaxation time after finals before surgery....

As soon as you are up and around post op, join us for our walks. We are getting to do it on a failry regular basis. Of course the wether can always throw a wrench into that....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
