WW Clubs and Groups - Night Owls #51

Hi There,

Well the girls and I and my niece all camped out Saturday night in the van, we took out the back 2 rows of seats. We toasted hotdogs and marshmallows and played flashlight tag, I think everyone had a really good time.

I still have not heard anything new from Janessa, she is due Sept 8th so it could be anytime, I know she lost her mucus plug last week so I am just waiting on pins and needles.

PJ, I stayed the same this week, still up 9#'s, Grrrrrrr, I feel like such a cow:moo: It sounds like you had alot of fun in the Keys, I went to Key West when I was about 14 and it was soooooo beautiful. I would love to go back sometime.

Sheri, your post struck a bell with me. I used to feel so wonderful when I was OP, I ate much better and varied food and just felt so much better emotionally, I have to get that feeling back. Thanks for the reminder on how good it feels. Hang in there.

Candice, you are so right about the bits and nibbles and I sure do alot of that and tend not to count it. This week should be better for me.

WWMOM, sounds like you are doing well with your eating, I always seem to have a problem with the water thing, actually I have a problem with everything right now:lol: but am working on it.

Later Everyone
Bren

Sounds like you had a great time Bren....and the weight will come off when you get back op.....I think we have to be mentally ready for it and yes it does feel good. Even when I stay in pts but eat junk I feel rotten about myself and my Fibro flares....so we do it for health reasons too don't ya think?

It was good to see the boys(the one we never see he is just too busy and he has been at college for 4 years now)...graduated this August and he wanted to got through things in his room..it is a mess hasn't been touched for 4 years..I didn't know what to pitch and what to pack away .. anyway I am in pain and pooped from that and the room still looks like disaster ..so much more to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is very dusty too ..we both were sneezing.OH MY..I'm just not in good enough shape to be doing this right now! :eek:

Oh my gosh, the nest has been empty for sooooo long, I am beginning to wonder if everyone is okay. Come on owls, pop in and say a quick hello.

Candice, wow seems like you had one heck of a time, It is nice that you got to see the boys though. I know what you mean about kids rooms being a disaster. I used to try to keep my kids' room clean but it was just impossible so now it is their responsibility, which ofcourse means it is a total disaster area, LOL!! I look forward to my girls being on their own but hope they stay real close, I would miss them terribly.

Well back to work, hope we see some missing faces in here.

Bren

So.....I've been one of the chicks missing too huh? I skimmed through most of the messages and it seems as everyone has been up and down on program. I guess the end of the summer has been rough on everyone including myself. God, ever since I came back from California I've been doing way bad and just can't seem to get back on program. I haven't journaled in so long either. that has a lot to do with it. This past monday i had all intentions of getting back OP and I come home and jeff tells me he went shopping(grocery). At the end he tells me he bought some treats....oreo cookies and then he also bought cinnamon buns! Good thing he ate all but one cinna bun and all but a few cookies cause i would have helped him out big time. I've been doing alright on water, but not the greatest. I'll at least drink 32 ounces if I dont get the full 64. Exercise...what's that? I just need to bust my butt and get into it! I'm one of those people that will think of an excuse for everything. someone just pinch me or slap me silly to knock some sense into me!

so who volunteered at the Virginia Air and space musuem? does someone on here live close to me and I dont even know it? that musuem is about 30 minutes away from me!

Jeff lost his job last week. Sucks big time. I think I may have been a bit more upset about it then he was. And of course I had gotten on him about getting unemployment everyday until he finally went a week later. On top of that, I keep getting on him about calling someone he used to work with for another company to see if they could help him out some. Who knows. I dont know what he's gonna do if he can't find a job like what he was doing before. Kinda depressing. He actually lost his job 2 months before I moved down to VA last year. Sucked. Everytime I heard his voice, he sounded depressed. Hoping and crossing my fingers he won't be out of job too long!

Me , on the other hand, have a job that pays crap and looking to a get a new job with a bit better pay. Of course there are other issues that just tick me off at my current job that makes me want to leave too. I guess everyone's job is like that some time or another. I'm trying to get into public schools to be an assistant, but it's real tough to get in. I try and try and try, but no luck so far. I've been trying since school let out this past year. We'll see if anything comes up!

So, i've been 6 pounds and I'm battling to lose it. I'm trying! That's it! TOMORROW is a brand new day and that the day i'm starting. I dont care! I"m gonna journal and count and drink my 2 bottles of water! I gotta do it. Or I'll just be more upset and disgusted with myself.

Well, I think i've rambled on enough here. Sorry I've been away so long. Please forgive me!

I'll talk to you all soon.

Erica

Erica...nothing to forgive!:)

bren..my boys just live about 20 miles from here now. It is hard cleaning out his room..so many memories and so much dirt!LOL

Done with the antibiotic....now my eating can get back to normal!!!!!!!!!!

Still having the pain though..had a lumbar x-ray but everything normal he thinks. Which is a good thing.

My mamo came back with an assymetrical density in the left one so I have to have a recheck in 6 months...have you ever had that before? (anyone?)

Hi there girls! I've been having a whacky week.:stress:
Had a tooth pulled. One of the back ones that you don't see. The dentist said he's never seen such deep roots which is a good thing as per my never losing my teeth but NOT a good thing if one of them needs to be pulled. Atleast it's over with...."Well, KIND OF/NOT OF.......I had stitches too and it still hurts ALOT!!!! I'm pretty good with pain....but this sucker is DEEP and it really smarts!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

Brenda - Your camping trip sounds like alot of fun! It's always nice to get "out" with the kids and act like one too, don't you think? ;) We're due to go camping with the kids but waiting for it to get a little cooler. As for my weight....I lost 1 pound. I've started walking again (with the dogs) in the am and sometimes the pm. I've come to the conclusion that I really need to start with the free weights again to firm up. It's just a fact of life. I'll be 44 soon and things started going SOUTH on me a long time ago. :eek: Anyway, I sure wish I could say I was 158! I'd LOVE to see that number on the scale. Stick with it.....even though you feel like you're in a bit of a slump now.....STICK WITH IT. Remember, this is NOT a diet...it's a LIFESTYLE. Hugs to you girlfriend!!!!!

Candice - I'm on antibiotics too. Penicillin......it's for my tooth and today is the third day. Sure wish it was feeling better. I got up this morning and did what I had to do in the barn, came back up to the house and took a shower and the next thing I know....it's 1:30pm. Ya think I was tired? :D Don't worry about the "spot". I've had those before...if it was anything to worry about...they wouldn't be waiting 6 months until your next one. As for your son's room.....I'm one of the very sentimental people who keeps ANYTHING that has to do with their growing up. I saved Jackie's first tap shoes, ballet shoes, first pair of riding britches, as well as lots of Billy's things. Like his first basball mitt etc. Anything I think that they'll get a kick out of showing to their own kids one day or just looking back at their life and the things they've done and how their bodies changed through the years. If you don't mind..I'd like to suggest that you TAKE YOUR TIME going through everything. I'll bet you'll find some personal "treasures".
Have fun and don't over-do it.

Erica - I hope your guy finds a job he's happy with. It's reall important to be happy going to work every day. You too! If you're not happy where you are.....just keep your eyes and ears open for something else. I'll say a little prayer for you two tonight. So remember "I'm thinkin 'bout cha".

That's it for me. I'm going to crawl back under the covers. I haven't taken a pain pill AAAAALLLLLLLLL day and it's really taking it's toll on me. Wiped me out with this pain. So I'm giving in and taking a pain pill and lying down.
See ya......ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzz
:tired:

Good Morning Ladies

Hope you all had a good weekend. Pretty much slept most of mine away. Feeling much better today. I'm picking up Billy from school around 10:30am, he has an 11am dentist appt. HIS FIRST CAVITY!!!!!! He was giving Bill and I a hard time about brushing his teeth last night so I told him "fine, I'll cancel your appt. and you can have YOUR rotted little tooth PULLED OUT just like mine was!!!! OK? " Heh-heh....gee, do ya think that got him motivated? NOT!!!!! But the "I'm going to count to THREE" thingy did. :D Yep....I just looove those numbers......1......2......and 3. They're like majic to my ears. :p

Did NOT stay on program yesterday. Had one duncan donut and some pork lo-mein. Need I say more? And that was after the eggs and bacon for breakfast. AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Ok....so today is Monday and I'm counting my HUGE jug of coffee and then I'm having some oatmeal. I'll try my best which is all I can do. Anyone care to join me in a STAY ON PROGRAM challenge for today? I'll waiting to hear from you all.
<grinning slyly>

Hi gals,

I am still here. On the Saturday of Labor Day weekend I went to start my computer and it wouldn't start. Come to find out Windows XP has some glich in it that will give you an unmountable boot volume message. I had to wait until today for Compaq to finally get me a recovery disk. Apparently the one that came with my computer would have erased everything. Well, it took almost 2 hours, but I am now back up and running with nothing lost!!!

So, I lost 2.4 lbs at weigh-in last Wednesday. Have been excersing this week, but was not that great on Saturday and Sunday. Why can't I journal on the weekends?? We'll see how this Wednesday goes.

I have to get to bed, but I will be back this weekend for sure. Hubby is off to the races in Loudon, so I am "single with kids" this weekend. Will have plenty of time to catch up.

Sheri

Oh my PJ! How can you eat anything with a sore mouth???? :D My Fibro has flared big time :eek: with this weather change here and I hurt so bad! Boo Hoo :cry: I am taking my time with my sons room..just so much to go through..alot of paper files..I have to read through so much before I pitch..I too keep sentimental stuff.

Trying to bank points for this weekend Dh's BD and I am cooking and the boys will be home but I feel so bad I do not want my sons girl friend here..just extra work and stress for me that I do not need....I know I should let her come but I really gets stressed out when I do not feel well. :hyper:

http://www.ourfm-cfidsworld.org/html/lisa_lorden.html (Fibro site)

Good loss Sheri........ I went up 2 on my antibiotics but have lost them already:) Just getting back to eating better sure helps! Not so much junk................

Hi Everyone,

Janessa is scheduled to be induced today so hopefully I will have a grandson, his name will be Taylor. The doc says the baby is doing damage to her insides and they need to get him out soon or she will end up having surgery after he is born. I am hoping for the best for her.

I went to the dentist yesterday and found out I need a crown, never had one so I am a bit nervous about it. Gotta save for a bit to get the funds too.

PJ, yes camping was "way cool" When are you planning on going? I just love it. I am still not OP but I keep trying. I just have to make a plan and go shopping this weekend to get the things I need. I am proud of you, you are doing well.

Sheri, awesome loss, Congratulations!!! Glad you got the puter back up and running, I just hate computer problems. Computers are enough to drive you crazy at times but we sure wouldn't want to live without them.

Candice, that is good that you are planning for the BD, I really have to get back into planning and journaling, water, etc... I don't really know what my problem is anyway, just can't get on it.

Erica, Hey girl so good to see you back on the boards, sounds like you and I are in about the same position as far as being on program goes. Wow, I am sorry Jeff lost his job, that is a major bummer. Jobs are a bit hard to find right now too but if he gets right on it he should find the one that's right for him.

Well gotta get to work

Bren

I'M GONNA BE A GRAMMY

Whoo Hoo!! Janessa is in the hospital right now in Virginia Beach, wish I could be with her. I am worried and hope everything goes well. They started inducing her around 8:30 this morning so here we go!!!

I'll keep you informed

Bren

Hi all...I see a couple of familiar faces here. I know it has been way too long (about a year), but I think I'm finally settled in here in my home. Only took about 1 year. Now I've started the painting and decorating at last. I'm sure that will take quite a while.

I finally went back to weight watchers this week. I did real well last year with the scare about my liver, and lost about 28 pounds. Unfortunately after my car accident this summer, I really fell apart and gained about 20 back. I feel real good about it this time again, especially since my liver counts are on the rise again and I really want to hold off on that transplant until I'm about 90 years old.

Congratulations Brenda...what a nice surprise to see you became a grandma! It sure is a good day for me to come back and see such great news.

Well, I want to start browsing around a little. I hope I get a chance to catch up with all of you again. It sure is nice to come "home". So sorry I was awol for so long.

Susan

tomorrow is weigh in day for me. we'll see how i did this week. i tried to do my best, but we'll see what the scale has to say for me.


BRENDA: Congrats on becoming a grandma....I didnt know your daughter lived in VA BEACH! That's where I AM!:)

alright, gotta go. Talk to you soon.

Hi Susan,
wow, it's been a long time. Glad your life is settling down a bit for you and that your health is improving. It is so hard to be sick, everything else just falls apart. I have recently had a spell with seizures, had 8 or 9 in a matter of 3 weeks or so, never had one before and haven't had one in a couple months so I think I am okay now.

Hi Erica, I didn't not know you were in Va Beach. Wow that is neat. Janessa is in Virginia Beach Gen. Hosp and should be released tomorrow sometime, she is having a bit of a hard time but she is fine. I heard the baby cry tonight when I was on the phone with her, she is so special. I lived in Norfolk for a total of about 4 years, my ex was Navy, we went from Norfolk to Washington State to Norfolk to Maine.

Well gotta go
Later
Brenda

Hey Brenda - I keep posting on your IT'S A BOY thread. Sorry 'bout that.

Susan???!!!! - Is that really YOU?????? Wow, it's been a really long time since I've seen you here and I'm so glad you're back. I think you and I are long overdo for a phone conversation. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Let me know when a good time will be. Sure do miss you!!!!!

Hi everyone. Just got done with a 30 minute walk and then had some lunch. Wanted to get my walk in before some much needed rain came. At least we finally have beautiful temperatures in the 70's. Great for having the windows open and going out for walk.

Brenda...glad to see you still here..By your stats it looks like you've been doing pretty well overall on the weight loss. Ups and downs definately occur, but at least you are so close to your goal.

PJ....I private messaged you with my cell phone number. It seems I spend a lot of time at tumbling practice with Emily. Since she is on team, she spends about 10 hours a week at the gym practicing. She really seems to love it, and has she ever gotten strong! She now does 100 push ups and 100 situps everyday with no problem. Oh to be 8 years old again!

Well, better get some email sorted through. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Hi Susan,

Yes I have made alot of progress but I am going back up now and I really have a hard time stopping the upward spiral once it starts, I am holding my own for the last few weeks or so with a 9.5 gain and I am trying to get it to start going back down again, this is a new week and we will see how it goes from here.

Everyone, I posted pictures of my new grandson in a sticky thread, check it out!! He looks a bit red and shriveled up, LOL but he is a sweetie.

See Ya
Bren

I made the best cake (WW recipe) (although Dh wants regular icing next year!) and glad the BD meal is over. If I counted everything I used my 10 banked points for the day so ok here but I am still hungry......chomp on some celery I guess:) I made all low fat stuff too but he ribeyes are the pts killer!

Hi Susan.....glad you are getting settle in. Decorating is right up PJ's alley!

Congrats Granny:)

Good Morning,

I'm new and would love to get to know some people that are doing the WW's , I have been on WW since July and have lost 11 pounds, I have only got 2 pounds left to loss till I'm at my 10%, but boy it's getting harder but I'm tring to say OP all the time.
Have just started to go to some kick boxng class and yoga class have been to two of them and plan this week to go to 2 yoga and 2 kick boxing.
I live in Utah ( is there anyone from Utah?) Have 2 kids 3 if ya count my other half and 4 grand children.
Will need to get moving hope to talk with others soon.

Lauree

Hi Everyone,

Boy was I unhappy when I got on the scale, I am now up 12#'s, it may have something with my monthly though. I have not had it in 6 months and now that I am off the Depo shot it should be showing up soon. I feel very bloated. I am going to try and have a perfect OP day which will be the first one in months, LOL!!

Hi Lauree, Nice to meet you. I am glad you stopped in at the nest and I will look forward to getting to know you better. The nest is pretty empty right now but it tends to fill up fast once it gets going. I am a new grandmother Sept 12 actually, a bouncing baby boy but he is in Virginia so it will be awhile til I meet him

Hi Candiceand thanks. Wow you are really on the ball with maintaining. Hopefully some of it will rub off on me.

See Ya
Bren

Made it through my first week back and weight watchers....

drum roll please...I lost 3.2 pounds. I know its the first week, and it goes quicker in the beginning, but I'll take anything I can get.

We are finally getting a routine here at home with the kids in school finally. It is amazing how quickly I get out of the normal day to day activities when the kids are home. I've been working on Darren's room cleaning out good this week. I'm hoping to start painting his room next week.

I also have started some quilts again. I'm making 4 quilts as Christmas presents this year, so I have my work cut out for me.

Welcome Lauree This is a great group of women here who have really been helpful with my weight loss. I look forward to getting to know you.

Well, better get my last few chores done before Emily and Darren get home. Then it's off to tumbling practice again.

Susan

Hi Bren:

This is Freddie in Hampton, VA. Virginia Beach is not that far from here. The only problem is the traffic. Are you going to visit your daughter? Was your grandchild born Friday the thirteenth? My sister's birthday is September 13 and she was born on a Friday.

I bet you look real good in the 150-lb class. Good for you and keep going because you are young and can do it.

Freddie Bloch, FNB, Effenbee

Hi everyone, how's it going? not too bad here. I've been trying my hardest to stay on program though. I've been able to drink my 64 oz of water. I'm also taking cider vinegar tablets, hoping they'll work.


Welcome to the group Lauree! The girls are great.....they are always here when you need them. even if you leave for a long time, you can always come back and they'll be right here! I know when I was gone for at least a year or so I thought for sure there would have been a new group entirely. I was wrong though.


EFNB...I'm in VA BCH!!!! I had no idea you were in Hampton. And she's right Bren.....the traffic does suck! It's terrible during rush hour like anywhere else, but it seems like it's 10 times worse here then where I used to live. but anyways...that's it from here on this end. Hope everyone is doing well on program. I'll catch up with everyone later. Take care and good nite!

Hi from Freddie in Hampton. The name "Deadfish" rings and bell. But I am getting so old that I have a bad memory now. Went to a Urologist today and go to a Cardiologist next week. More fun!!! The urologist won't do a procedure on me to help my bladder leakage problems until he gets an okay from Heart Doctor. Heart problem showed up in a Cat Scan. I sure did not know. I have always told all general doctors of my family history of heart attacks. Mother died at age 49 - second heart attack. Older sister died at age 54 - first heart attack. Father died at age 69 - first heart attack. Younger sister had a triple bypass 5 years ago. That is all in my immediate family. All uncles and aunts died of heart attacks. I guess I am lucky so far because I was 79 in June.

Thanks for letting me know that you are in Virginia Beach. I haven't been there for a while but have a niece who lives there (but not too near the beach).

Freddie Bloch

Good job too all those losers!:) You know who you are...and who you aren't! :sorry: Let's get on the ball owls!!!!!!!!! (just a kick to get going):goodvibes

I posted this on Brendas Grandsons thread yesterday and I guess I should have put it here. Sorry bout that. Hope you're all having a good morning.

Brenda - AAAAhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how absolutely beautiful your grandson is! and he does NOT look all red and wrinkled.......I've seen some NASTY looking newborns that really WERE all red and wrinkled and that kid is NOT one of them. ;) I'm so excited for you all. I'll bet you can't wait to hold him. I hope Brianna is going to straighten out....babies have a tendency to do those things to us "mothers"......you know, change our perspective on life and put THEM before ourselves. :D Anyway, can't wait to see more pictures and you certainly don't look like any of the Grandmas I know. Heh-heh.........CONGRATULATIONS......:bb:

Hey Freddie - I see you finally made it to the board. I was wondering when you'd get over here. I'm so glad to see you posting but I'm not so glad about what you're posting about. I'm worried about your heart condition. My father had a quadruple bypass two years ago and just went back in to have four stints done again. Just please take it easy until they decide what they're going to do to control your problem. Geeez, I haven't even had a chance to visit you yet........so rest up to party with me...... Bill is in California again. They're all going to NAPA VALLEY this afternoon and I asked him to get me a couple of cases of really nice reds and whites. I LOVE Pinot Noir but would really like to have alot of variety on hand to fill the built in wine rack this kitchen has for the upcoming holidays. You girls DO realize it's just around the corner, right? :o So Freddie, if Bill stops flying around so I can start visiting MY friends......I'll come for that visit I was talking about.

Susan aka SLF - Well it's about TIME you got settled. Just kidding.....I've STILL got several boxes here and there and I've been here for almost 6 months now. Boy did that go fast. So when are we going shopping for window treatments. :lol: I AM going to get there. I've got you and Freddie on my itinerary......AS SOON AS BILL STAYS HOME SO I CAN FINALLY GO AWAY!!!!!!!! Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Tara - It's so great to see you here!!!!!! Stop in more often, huh? We miss you here. :(

Well, that's it for me......have a few errands to run and then I'm CRASHING tonight. Just the kids and me so I'm ordering Chinese. I LOVE the steamed dumplings and :hb:
Hugs to you all,

Bring Bill with you; he doesn't have to stay home. Of course you will have to sleep in a regular size bed - not King or Queen. When my son and daughter-in-law were here. She made him go sleep downstairs on the sofa because my bed wasn't big enough!!!! I think he was happy with the arrangement. She found QVC on my no-cable TV and he watched whatever he could find on the TV in the living room. I believe reception is better upstairs than downstairs.

Freddie

Hi Everyone,

My grandson Taylor is in the hospital with Jaundice pretty bad but should be fine. The doc said anything over a 10 is high and he is at 23 so I am a bit worried but I am sure he will be fine

PJ, he is kind of cute isn't he? LOL I just wish I could snuggle and cuddle him but it's not in the cards right now.

Oops kid screaming gotta go

Hi Punky:

I hope Taylor is okay now or, at least, improving. I bet you look good at 158 because I know that you are taller than I am.

Which of your children live in Virginia Beach? I think I told you that is only 40 or so miles from where I live.

I go to see a Heart Specialist Tuesday, Sept. 24th. If he gives his okay, I can then get the sling procedure (whatever that is) that the urologist wants me to have to help my bladder stress incontinence.

Love, Freddie, FNB, Effenbee

Bren: Sorry to hear about your grandson. Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon and will be home with mom and dad! I'll be thinking of him.

Effenbee: good luck at your doctors' appointment on the 24th. Hope they'll beable to give you a heads up and get the help you need to make you feel better:)

I weighed in this morning and lost 1 lb. Better than nothing right? I'm back to where I was before my vacation to California. YAAAAAY! I"m excited. Now I just need to push myself to lose some more. Exercise is a struggle for me. I guess I'm just too lazy. I bought these cheap bungee things to use to work out my arms and legs, but I've only used them once so far. I dont know what I'm gonna do. How do you get the motivation to get out there and do exercise. I keep saying that I need to start doing my taebo too! Any suggestions to get my butt moving?

Hey Erica/Deadfish:

If you live 30 minutes from the Virginia Air and Space Center, then I live 30 minutes from you. I drive slowly so it may take me longer. I live a mile from the end of the Hampton-Roads Bridge Tunnel. I volunteer the first Saturday of the month at the VASC in the Teacher's Resource Center. I use to be a Docent but when my legs started hurting I decided to ask the Head of the Volunteers to put me elsewhere. I may ask to go back but then I will have to take some classes because the exhibits have changed a lot since I took tour groups around the exhibits.

Write (e-mail me) at vabloch@earthlink.net.

Hi There,

Brianna, went flying down the deck stairs but she is fine. Taylor is home now and the jaundice is all cleared up

Freddie, Janessa is the daughter who lives in Va Beach and now I have a grandson there too. Good luck at the docs, I am sure everything will go fine.

Erica, congrats on your loss and getting back to where you were before vacation, I am sure it feels wonderful.

PJ, Happy Birthday, you're another year younger, love ya girl!

:hb:

Setina, how ya doing girl? Stop in and say hi.

Well, better get to work

Bren

Hi Bren:

I was trying to think of Watermelon's real name and there it was in your last message "Setina". No one will answer my question about how many posts make a Senior Member. Not that I am anywhere near the number.

Freddie and this should be Post 86!!! Since a lot did not count.

Hi Freddie - I don't remember the exact amount but to be a SENIOR MEMBER.....you need to have posted 100 times. I'll look into a little further when I get a chance. Anyway, that's it. Hope you're feeling well today.

Brenda - So how IS work these days? I remember you had quite a bit of layoffs a while back.....has it made your job any harder or not? Ewwww, sounds like a nasty spill for Brianna......I'm glad she's alright, sure could have been ALOT worse.

I've been doing TERRIBLE as per being OP. Let's just say that OP stands for OFF program for me lately. I'm NOT weighing myself tomorrow either Brenda. :( Not until I can atleast feel comfortable in my pants again. I'll weigh myself NEXT Tuesday, K? Sorry...but it will just make me miserable to see the numbers on the scale....especially in the morning.....what a lousy way to start the day. ;)

I've decided I'm making the WW veggie soup tomorrow. I love soup and especially THAT soup......and I KNOW it will help fill me up and a cup of that in the evening will be better than a lousy choice. Just nuke it in a cup with some crackers and WaLa.....I'm set.
Ok guys, I'm outta here. It's off to bed for me. "See" you all tomorrow. Hey!!!! Could someone please post that recipe for the banana muffins from WW???? I remember about FOUR of them only being 2 points and they were soooo good with my coffee in the morning. I'm talking YEARS AGO but it's GOT to be around somewhere. It was so good and filling. If any of you know what I'm talking about....I'd appreciate it if you would email it to me or post it on here for everyone else to see too.
Good Night you Owls,

PJ: Getting another post in. Go to Heart Specialist today. Well it is today since it is after Midnight.

Freddie

Just came back from appointment with Heart Specialist. Most time spent
with a person who wrote down my medical history based on answers to
questions. I think there was 8 pages of questions!!!! Then someone
came in and gave me an EKG (I think that’s what it is called). I
believe the results were okay. Except my skin has sticky stuff on it
where she forget to get me stuff to remove the goo she used to attach
the wires. And I forgot to remind her. My sister Judy went with me, and
when I couldn’t remember dates she could.

On October 14, 2002, I go to get two (2) more tests. It seems like I
will be busy from 8:45 am until they let me go and tell me to come back
in an hour or an hour and a half. You don’t expect me to remember do
you? All I have to remember is to be there at 8:45 am.

I suppose if the doctor thought I needed an immediate operation, he
would have put me in the hospital - so no news is good news. I am still
tired and am breathing heavily whenever I do anything - even talk.It's
Will tell you about October 14th when I am finished the tests. I believe
I have another appointment later in the month for him to discuss the
results. Right now, all I know is that Oct. 14 is a Monday.

Love,

Freddie

:(

I really don't hurt. Am just tired all the time. Now I get an Echogram Oct. 14 - whatever that is. Guess my EKG yesterday was okay. Go to Heart doctor on Oct. 22 to hear results of all tests he has taken or will take.

Thanks for getting me back here to post. This should be No. 91.

Freddie

Good Morning :cool:

Candice - Yep, Sept. 18th was my 44th B'day. :o Bill was out of town so we had cake this past Sunday. Then Monday he flew to New York.....will be back NEXT Monday and then leave for Texas on Tuesday. After 15 years of marriage, I'm used to it......didn't say I LIKED it....but I'm used to it.

Freddie - That IS a good sign, no news is good news and don't worry about anything unless you GET something to worry about. ;) I'm praying that all of your tests come back o.k. and that they find out what is making you so tired. Isn't the waiting a real pain in the butt?

Brenda - NOPE....not a another year younger but that's o.k. I am DEFINITELY another year WISER. :D Alot has happened over the past 12 months....good and bad but then that's what life is all about.....the good and the bad.

Last night, I dropped Billy over my friend’s house and took Jackie to the Mall to get a dress for their school night. It's like a prom here. Don't know why they have these every year but the entire high school will be there.....9th - 12th grade. Hmmmm, this should be interesting. It was nice to have time alone with Jackie.....my God!!! I'll have to show you the picture of her when she puts the dress on.......I'm not saying anything except that she's really "sprouted"???? and took my breath away. Of course, I'm a bit biASSed here......but she fit this dress like a glove. Can't wait to take pictures and show you all. The dance is this Saturday night and they're going to the beach all day before the dance to get good tans. (she's already got a nice base tan so I hope she doesn't burn...but you know they never listen). I worry so much about skin cancer......it's very hard for me to get her to listen to me and have her wear sunscreen. I KNOW that when I'm not around...she doesn't use it. :mad: Oh well, I do what I can and that's all that I can do, right?
I'm having French toast with syrup right now....and finishing my 3rd cup of coffee. So....for today...so far...I'm keeping tabs on what goes into my mouth. I'll let you know how I do along the way.
"See" you later,

Will this make post 91? I wish I knew how to send jpegs. My son sent me pictures he took prom night for his daughter (my granddaughter). Learn about iMac's and then you can show me when you come to Virginia.

Freddie

Punky:

Remember when we weren't with the 3fatchick? I thought I had a booklet with all the names and questionnaires filled out. Cannot find it now. I remember Elaine who had part of her email address saying "Nightowls". I particularly remember you and Pamela Joe and Watermelon (didn't she have Fibromalasia (? spelling). I wonder how she is now. I wonder if she is still collecting things with Watermelons on it. Darn if I didn't have so much clutter around here, I would find that booklet that I made with phone numbers etc.I remember I called myself the "Morning Owl" because I couldn't stay up as long as the rest of you did.

This should be post 100 but it states I have only 94 posts. Am I a Senior Member? Why doesn't the posts increase by one each time, inasmuch as I don't post close together in time anymore since I was told my post would not be counted because a minute (or something short time) had been since my last post!!!!

Freddie:mad:

Punky/Bren:

I have noticed my number of posts stay the same even though I know I have pasted more than 94 posts. Just testing to see what shows up with this post.

Freddie:devil:

Happy Belated Birthday PJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard that the coconut sorbet was good but I cannot find it, I have some peach in the freezer..hummmm now I am gonna have to go and dig it out........o boy here we go again!

Fell asleep with the moist heating pad on ( has a shut off but I clipped it so it would not work) and I burnt my hand ...just a tiny spot blisterd though! Ouch!!!!!!!!!! :o

Ate at the bottom of my pts yesterday and now my energy is gone..I think I need to concentate on eating at the top end to keep my energy level up but I do not want to gain so I try to mix it up some to keep my body guessing! :spin:

Had another sleep :dz: eating walking episode the other night..well morning really..found a bag (empty of course) of cookies :cookie: in the trash..had to be me I was the only one home and I heated some shrimp in the mircrowave and it was still there with the plate and fork on the counter..........I think the cookie bag was only half full about 12 pts! When I fall asleep in my chair on the way up to bed I must stop in the kitchen but I cannot rememeber it! The Ambien I take does this..causes temporary amnesia!!!!!!!!!!! :yikes:

Up at 2 am. Raiding the refrigerator!!! Made low calorie potato salad (ingredients: cooked cauliflower that looked okay even though has been in fridge for 3 weeks; chopped orange pepper, yellow pepper, and red pepper; chopped celery; chopped carrots; relish; less than 1/2 cup of low-calorie mayonnaise).

I am stuffed now!! Freddie

Wow! The number of posts 94 has finally changed to 95.

I know this one will not count!!!! It's really 4:28 am in Virginia.

Hey guys how's it gong? This week has been up and down for me. It was horrible:( At work, (day care center) we were learning about the circus and letter 'c' and to go along with the circus I thought of the great idea of making funnel cake! My kids sure do know how to make funnel cake. they only helped make the batter, but after I cooked it, it tasted GOOD:) that's 24 points right there!!! I'd have an off day during the day at work and I'd say to my co teacher who is also on WW that I'll be really good at home for dinner. I come home and Jeff is making Chili, or friend rice or wants to order a pizza. With all this junk stuff going in my mouth to the bottomless pit I weigh myself today and for some reason I was down 3 pounds. Isn't that strange? Eating so terribly and you have a nice outcome? I know it's gonna kick me right in the butt though next saturday I can just see it now. I have to think positive and be really really really good this week! My other co teacher at work wants to start walking on our breaks...I think that'll be a good idea. I'm gonna have to start bringing my sneakers. If that's the only way I'll get exercise, so be it then. I'm too tired to do it at nite and I'm lazy on the weekends! So we'll see! A couple sundays ago Jeff and I have made it official that we are doing Sunday football at our house so friends come over and watch. We alternate on who brings food. Tomorrow is our 3rd football sunday party(kinda) but I"M also having people over for scrapbooking.. It'll be crowded, but it'll be fun. I"m making lunch for my friends. Baked Ziti with garlic bread! Hmm Hmm good;) Today I'm going to try to make peanut butter fudge cookies for tomorrow. I found the recipe in the newspaper. I always look in the paper for some good recipes whether they are low fat or not!

Candice: The name deadfish was or still is the nickname of my ex-fiance. When I first joined nightowls i picked his nickname to be mine i guess because i couldnt think of anything original. When I came back this year and started to post it was the first thing I tried to see if I could change. I would still like to, but don't think there is a way! If you know of a way, let me know ok!


Alright, well I guess I'll go and attempt to make the peanut butter fudge cookies. I'll talk to you all soon. Take care and hope you have a great weekend!


Erica

Freddie

I don't understand my "Posts: number". It is now back to 90 whereas it was 101 yesterday and said I was a Senior Member. For about 5 posts last week, it remained at the number 94.

Help!!!!!

Freddie

Suzanne wrote to me giving suggestions for getting into site. I think 3 am in morning is my chance of getting in. It's working now and I don't know what time it in GMT but it is 3:18 in EST.
