Hey Ladies finally home..........

Not sure about this weekend Donna but if I come I will go to lunch after!! My daughter just got on the volleyball team and they already have a game this weekend......waiting to find out what time and where the game is. But ya all know that if I can be there I WILL!!

Have to pack my office on Sunday I guess we are moving sooner rather than later!! I tried to start today but to hard to work and pack at the same time......budget hearings tomorrow so we will see how it goes......hopefully just moving no layoffs.

I am stressed out today and don't feel like eating. I get like that when it is hot and stressful..........ah if only every day could be over 100 I might be of a normal size and stature!! LOL.

Folsom.........well my PCP said in April that she thought Bariactricss was coming to sacramento. She mentioned fills in particular..........she said it would be within six months or so........but when I asked Richmond they said they didn't know...........I guess I would not be suprized. But than I would want to have my Richmond doctor but to be able to go to Folsom.....conflict of interest................

oh trying to eat and slow day from the day............getting off the computer

[swrktp 1]

Breakfast: 2 sausages (veggie) 160

Lunch/Dinner: Lentils (1cup) 230

Veggie chicken 160

That is all so far and I am ready to go to bed...........way to tired today and not a bit hungry.

Hey girls if Candi brings my Wild Tree oils tomorrow could someone take them for me?? Nicole your probably the closest to me.........could you get them and I will meet up with you for lunch or something??

Gosh Tina, hope it works out...gotta have u there! Does it help to be moving offices on Sunday?

Just cking in...did my 25min on Stat bike, rest day for Active. But feels really good, and I am not as sore as I have been (i.e. the legs) with doing Active again!

Def am downing the Water, marvelous how much smoother our body functions when it has a simple thing like enough water! Also aids in the fat metabolism & concentration! Yeah! I need the concentration part too, hehe.

Richmond Support Ladies, let us know how it went...any pics Candra? Jes? Hope it was a good meeting...:biggrin: C - didnt get eml.

[swrktp 1]

Thanks Nicole. I think I see you more than Candi I haven't seen her for a long time............this will be another excuse to get together for lunch again??? Any takes for lunch soon??

I am excited to get the oils. I almost used up the little ones I got last time. Yummy stuff!!

Oh Christine you could put some of the oil on brussel sprouts that would be good!!

2. The Success of Weight Loss Surgery Patients Collen M. Cook- ( this one looks really good Donna I wanted to show you this one to give you some idea for the group)

Ok excited to read them and than I can pass them on if they are any good.............

I had to finish reading Eclipse but now back to self help for a bit................godd timing with no restriction and all!!

Can you put them on the social group page? Or you can join the "Lap band book club" that I started. No actual topic yet, just pictures of books. lol.

OMG!!!!! That fish recipe is SO FREAKIN' GOOD!!! I think we might have that once a week here!

All of you gals that like fish (pre and post op!) should try this. I served it with brussel sprouts but you could do any green veggie.

I had 4oz of fish and it was about 220=230 cals cuz I went a little lighter on the cheese than it called for. The 3 brussel sprouts were only 45 cals...not bad! 275 cals for a super yummy and really filling dinner! Here's the link again:

Done reading! Whew. That was at least an hour!

I have already dropped my class. It was so not a good fit! I could do the work just fine, but the hardest part for me would be sitting in that class every week. I called my school and got switched to another class right away. I love my school! They're so helpful and pleasant.

I had a much better day today. Yesterday sucked. But now I'm feeling good!

I 4th (or 5th?) the facebook-lab band-discretion thing... nobody knows on my Facebook, except for my fella!

So, I know I've lost weight, and it's becoming noticable now. I had my first coworker comment at 30 lbs, then 2 ladies said something last week, 1 lady on Monday and today I had my first male coworker. He just came up and said "How much have you lost!?" He was really excited for me. Well, later another coworker stopped me and said "So&so said you lost 50 lbs, that can't be right" I told her, no It's 50. It's kinda wierd though. Now hella people at work know. I'm kind of uncomfortable with everyone talking about it though, I guess since no one's being discreet anymore. I can't really blame them, it's obvious I'm losing!

I'm super excited, we're going to look at houses tomorrow! Yay!

Oh, and I'll be there Saturday!

Dr. Fischer will not recognize you when you loser your weight since he made you weigh so long and all!! LOL.

Holy moley my girls are chatt-tiiie! Pages and PAGES . . . . all goof stuff of course, but better if Candra would summarize each evening :-)

Just checking in, lots of moving while trying to work (I know ya hear me Tina!) today and I am pooped! I got my 10 miles in again today though, and a tad over 700 calories, so that;s good - plenty of Protein the last couple days, but I just can't seem to get 60+ in unless I eat close to 800 or more. ANYways . . . .this whole sweet spot/green zone this is absolutely surreal . . . . not hungry, not interested in food - unless reading a cookbook or sumpthin! OH I wish you all the very best in reaching it soon, it's KEWL

OK to much Water today, have to run off and run some through again - then getting ready for bed. Love you guys!! Goodnight :biggrin:
