DEE

Hey Sher-Bear: When you look at "Wrinkles" straight in the face, he looks just like my X-Mother Inlaw!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

RAMONA IT IS MONDAY MORNING YOU HAVE KEPT US IN SUSPENSE ALL WEEK-END.......can you tell us now? Can't survive another day without knowing. Spit it out girl....lol.

DEE

OK Dee, I'll tell you the exciting thing. Now, keep in mind this is exciting for me but may not mean much to you guys.
We have someone who is interested in buying our business. I have prayed all weekend that he will come back today and talk to us some more. I would have to stay and work for 1 month to teach him how to do things. Then I would get to stay home until after Christmas. From 70 hours a week to staying home......hummmmmm......I think I could handle that!! LOL
I would have to get a job after the first of the year, but that would be fine. Just a nice 9-5 job where someone else owns the business and has to deal with the headaches!
Anyway, like I said, it is exciting for me!

Dee, I hope things go better with your son and you can find some peace.

Gayle, we had a mass murderer here a few years ago who killed his family and some others. There is a book written about it called "Zero to the Bone". Just get ready for the media blitz, it will be wild!!!!!!

Sherry, girl I'm glad you let the dust gather. It makes me feel better about my messy house!!! LOLOLOL

later all,
Ramona

Ramona that is wonderful. When you own your own business it owns you. It is never just a straight 40 hour week. Let us know if you sell it. I really hope you do if that is what you would lke. Down time around christmas, perfect. You will be able to relax and do things at your own pace for awhile. Good luck.

DEE

Just checking in before I go back to services.

Ramona-That's awesome, girl. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Sherry-Wrinkles is so cute! He looks alot like me!

Hi girls:cb:

I guess you all has wondered what is going on with me. I have no good excuse for not posting except for the same old fact of "being fat and depressed". :shrug:
Well, once again I have decided to do something about all this extra weight. I'm tired all the time and have no energy to even hardly get through the day. And why would anyone keep going on that way, when deep down I know what needs to be done. "SO I'M BACK ON PLAN AGAIN" { Wish I had a nickel for everytime I've started over...LOL} But who knows...this could be the time that I find the power to see this thing all the way. Going to give it my best shot!!!
Thank you all for being there for me, even in the bad times. Going to try and be a better "FLOOZIE" from now on. :grouphug:

Love u guys..:love: debbie

Howdy!

Debbie--i'm doing a low glycemic index type of thing and it's pretty easy and quite interesting. I bought the book at barnes and nobles. They have several--Opry Mills
It is working quite well for me---dh finally said friday afternoon-"are you losing weight?"

I just don't understand it!! :?:

Monday weigh-in: 175.......It stayed the same from last week. I started getting very serious about my food choices on 7-29-02.....My beginning weight on that day was 183. I haven't lost much...but atleast I haven't gained!:D

Debyj^^^^^I've been meaning to tell you something: My Son (the one at MTSU college) works all the concerts at AmSouth.He is a security guard.He said that the Lenny Kravitz was WILD!!!

Hey Sherry!!

Keep an eye on that blood pressure girl!! Sorry, it's the healthcare in me! I took norvasc for a while and it didn't do a thing, then my doc changed me to diovan and it works like a charm. Everyone is different.

Yeah, the lenny kravitz concert was great, but it was WILD!! AND IT WAS THE FIRST CONCERT i've been to since i QUIT DRINKING!! People were seriously getting on my nerves!! There were a lot of kids there!

Hope everyone is well:lol:

debyj

Debbie I just wanted to post so that I could give you a big{{{HUG}}}. Just want to know that I am here for you. I know that you want to be a health grandma so let that inspire you. Love you Debbie.

DEE

Mom is still moving her leg a little each time....
On the Pepsi & Taco Bell story,,, woman gave license plate no. and police are now watching this man.

Hubby won't by anything made by Pepsi...He loves his Pepsi's...will go into DT's soon.

Check in later....

Vicki

GOOOOOOOOOOD TUESDAY MORNING GIRRRRRRLS!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Sher-Bear: watch the high blood pressure!!! Could it be due to you trying to cram 58 hours into a 24 hour day?????? :smug: All of my family fights high blood pressure, I am just the opposite, sometimes they can hardly find a pulse!!!! It makes me tired and cold all of the time!!!! PLEASE TAKE CARE!!!!!!!!! {{SMOOCHIES!!}} :df:

Deb: Try not to get discouraged!! This whole dieting thing is the shits!!!!!! Sometimes I wonder why it is so important to me to be thin, but I guess not important enough, I keep tossing the same 10-15 pounds back and forth. I hope you know that you can ALWAYS post here!!!! :D

Debyj: Hows the mouth Hon?????? Can you list a day of some of the food choices that you eat??? Your plan sounds interesting!!!! I hope your feeling better soon!!!! :yes:

Ramona: Good luck on selling the business!!!! We were self employed for years and found out that we had no life outside of the business!!!!! Plus between insurance and everything else, the Goverment and the big guys were making more then we could call our wages!!!! AGAIN, GOOD LUCK!!!!!! :angel: Sending an angel your way...

Shelley: Hows the weather there? Are you still running in the early morning? It is not near as hot here and you can feel the Fall chill in the air mornings and evenings. :dance:

Dee: Are you doing better Sweetie???? I hope your family is working out all of the stress. Has your Mom decided yet what she will do? I think of you guys daily and you are in my prayers!!! :flow1:

Vickster: Your MIL has a birthday coming up soon????? OOOOPS!!! I forgot, that would be Halloween!!!!!! Sorry, just had to joke with you this morning!!!! LOVE YA!!!!!!!!! ;)

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT OP DAY TODAY!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Gayle :smug:

Sherry pat yourself on the back for staying the same weight. If only I could have done that over the summer......but no I gained so back I go to weight watchers to get this off again. Please slow down I do beleive that is what your high blood pressure could be about. I too am like Gayle I have very low pressure and am cold and tired. Some of my readings are as low as 68/46.

Gayle thanks for thinking of us daily. Mom has to have a bone and heart test first to see if she is a candidate for the treatments. If all that goes well she will go ahead with the treatments. She said that if she feels too sick from the chemo she will stop treatments. As for our family stress at home I am less stressed with Jay gone. I really don't think that it will work out if he comes home. We have a family council meeting on wednesday night. We haven't told him yet that we have made the decision that he won't be able to come back home. We still may change our minds depending on our counciling sesions. But I really don't think so. Don't get discouraged about your weight love yourself the way you are. Your right, dietig is the shits but you can hang in there.

Debyj how are you feeling today? I hate the dentist. I just had a crown put on a couple of weeks ago too.

Ramona any news on the sale of your buisness? Does that mean if you sell the business that we can't call you bootwomen any more....lol?

Vicki I won't be able to chat wednesday as that is when we have our family meeting. I maybe home for the tail end but I am not sure how long this meeting will go.

Well today is my official weigh in at ww's but I have to bring Dez to the oral surgeon. She is having problems with her wisdom teeth so they will need to remove them. We are only going for the preappointment before the sugery. According to my scale I have lost 2.5 pounds this week. I will try to make the meeting next week. I really need to go to the meetings it keeps me honest. Being the cheap person that I am I hate paying for the meetings when I am over goal. A life time member needs to only weigh in once a month. If I weigh in at anytime and am over goal I have to pay the $12.00. So if I go every second week until I am at goal I will pay half as much. Hopefully that I will stay on track going every second week, if not I will start to go every week.

Have a great tuesday everyone.

DEE

Howdy!!

Well, the teeths are a still aching!!:mad:

Are you asking about the gi diet?? well, i try not to eat anything white--sugar, flour, potatoes, and corn---I have to go by the book or i get confused, but you can have ---sugar free, lite yogurt(calcium), wheat spag, brown rice, oatmeal, ummm, i got some ezekiel bread(it's flourless). You kinda have to look around for stuff. But i try to eat stuff that is low in carbs--but not totally, carbless cause it makes me really sick
I know you can't have -pineapples, raisins, watermelon, cantaloupe--high in sugar

I use splenda now instead of nutrasweet, or sweetnlow
Be careful on cereals and fruits-flour bread and crackers.

I really like the diet cause i still get the stuff i crave--just in a different way---I usually splurge on the weekends--

we went to dreamland in tuscaloosa this weekend!! OMG!!:eek: iT WAS SOOOO GOOD!! You get a slab of ribs and a loaf of bread to soak up the sauce in and sweet tea to wash it down!!:ink:

i'll chat later!--debyj

Debbie-Please don't be depressed. Dieting is definitely the pits, and we all hate it. We are all in the same boat. Isn't it ironic that we quit posting when we really need all the support we can get? I know I do the same thing.

Sherry-If you would slow down, maybe your blood pressure would go down. Heck, I'm proud of you just for watching the 2 movies the other day!! Congrats for your weight staying the same, too!

Dee-Good for you. 2 lbs. is a great start! If I remember correctly, you don't have very much to lose, anyway!

Deby-Sorry your mouth is still hurting. Sometimes I wish mine would so I wouldn't stick so much food in it!:lol:

Gayle-You're so good, always checking in on us.

Howdy girls:cb:

Even though it has rained off and on all day , I have to admit it was a pretty good day. This is day two {one I've been through many times} of my quest for a healthier me!! I find I have to stay 100% on plan for it to work for me because if I cheat one time watch out.

Debyj~~~ Is the Glycemic Index something like sugar busters or low carbing? I'm back to counting my carbs because it is implanted in my brain...LOL.

Sherry~~~I agree with everyone esle....PLEASE TAKE CARE OF SHERRY!!! That high blood pressure is nothing to mess around with. We all want you to be around for a long time, so let that dust collect....lol. You didn't answer my email last night...doesn't a weekend away from our hubbies sound like a blast? Wild and crazy girls....we are!!

Dee~~~Thanks so much for the Hugs!! Don't know why I ever shy away from you girls, even when I'm such a bad girl. WTG on the 2 pounds. Are you close to your goal?

Vicki~~~Chat Wednesday night sounds great. Glad your Mom is doing better.

Gayle~~~Thank you for being here for me over the last 2 years. You are so faithful!! This time I'm trying to have a new{old} additude. Afterall it's about being healthier...right? I just want to feel good and have more energy and somehow that always has to do with me being overweight. :shrug:

Ramona~~~Good luck on selling your business. Keep us posted!

Shelley~~~ You are so right about why we quit posting, atleast it is with me. It is just so hard to post cheerly things and {weightloss} when you ain't got anything to report...LOL. Going to start back walking again soon.

Hope I didn't leave anyone out!

Love u guys...:dancer: DEB

Hey Deb---The gi diet i'm playing around with is based on sugar busters. I'm posting on their board and have figured out that what i'm doing is really close to what they are doing. I just can't quit sugar entirely. Since i quit drinking, it is very difficult for me not to have something resembling sugar-like frozen yogurt and cookies. The cookies i've tried are sugar free and made with whole wheat flour instead of white flour. I think if you stay away from white flour, it really helps. I feel a lot healthier anyway!!

later-debyj

Hi all. Thanks for asking about the business. I have not heard anything else yet. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.
I think there may be an opening soon at the sheriff's office. I would love, love, love that job!

Well, now I'm going to tell you my kinda scary news.
I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon for an echocardiogram.
I've had several "spells" in the last month where I've gotten so disoriented I've almost passed out. My heart feels like it does a sommersault and then everything goes black. I've also had really bad swelling in my ankles. Because I took redux for 6 months a couple of years ago, my doctor says I need to be evaluated. I know the procedure will be painless, I'm just worried about the results. I'll let you know.

My love to you all and keep the weightloss faith my sisters!
Ramona

Ramona-please let us know what happens. You are in my prayers. Try not to worry too much. I work in healthcare and if there is a problem, there are many new treatments and drugs available.

love and prayers-debyj;)

Hey ladies...Pepsi and Taco Bell thing is a big hoax. I heard about it on numerous different occasions and it's a hoax. They're also spreading the same rumor about Coca-Cola.

Ramona,

How scary!!! Bless your heart! I'm worried about it happening while you're driving!! I'm so glad that you have an appointment today! PLEASE let us know when you find out something.Take care sweetheart and know that you're in my prayers.I will be thinking of you ALL day!! :angel:

To everyone else: I'm in a hurry to get ready for work.I will post tonight to ya'll.Didn't get to last night.Chris came home for dinner so he got my attention! :lol: (Gosh, I miss him!)

Have a great OP day!!
Love & Hugs,
Sherry(Sher-Bear):twirly:

Jennelle.....I am glad you heard it was a hoax. Scarey tho.

Ramona....Keep us posted and you are in my prayers.

Sherry.....Does tonite sound good for you to chat?????

Gayle......Thanks for the kind words about Mom....also for thinking of my sweetheart of a MIL......lololololol

Hi Girls!!!!

This will be QUICK & SHORT!!!
RAMONA:::::::::PLEASE be careful!!!!!! I will be thinking of you all day!!!!! I hope you get a good report and it is nothing serious!!!!

I probably will not make it to chat tonight!!!! We are having a family night, Steve will be leaving first thing in the a.m. for a full week in Dallas. I can chat later in the week if the offer is still good???

LOVE YA!!! Gayle

Ramona your right the test doesn't hurt but it sure is scarey when yo don't know what's going on. Do you think that you will get the results right away? When I went for that test I only got the results a few days later. The tecnologists wouldn't tell me anything.
Will post more later.

DEE

Thanks everyone for the good wishes. I don't know if I will get the results today or not. I hope so. I hate playing the waiting game. Patience is not a virtue that I was blessed with.

Dee: I hope the session goes well tonight. Let us know.

Gayle: Have fun with your family tonight.

later all,
Ramona

Ramona-Please keep us posted!! I wish the best for you. Also, when you sell your business, how about flying us all over to go to dinner???? We'll all pig out and drink and raise ****!!!

Love ya!

Hey Shelley I like your idea......what do you say Ramona?

Thanks Ramona for the luck for tonight. Desiree came home from school today upset with Jay's girlfriend. She wants Dez to do Jay's laundry again! She said that she won't do it, she did it the first time as a favor. RRRRrrrr these kids just don't get it. Dez also told me that Ashleys parents are getting tired of having Jay and asked Ashley to tell him. She hasn't said anything to him yet. About these spells you are getting do you have low blood pressure? I have the same kind of things that happen to me. That is why I am not suppose to drive. I still have my licence but drive only when I have to. I have tachi cardia attacks and with the combination of the low blood pressure I black out sometimes. Also I am not to have my head below my heart, such as bending over.

Gayle enjoy your family night. Don't you just hate it when Steve goes for that long? I know I don't mind a few days but a week is long.

Jennelle I am so glad that it was a hoax! Pretty scarey. We have enough to worry about never mind wondering if fast food places are safe.

Sherry I am so glad that you miss Chris. That means that you have a wonderful relationship with him. I can't say the same for Jay.....I miss him a bit but not enough to take him back.

Debbie how did you make out today? Did you make wise food choices? Here is another hug for you.

Debyj wow I don't think that I could stick to a diet that is that strict. I am a chicken.

Vicki sorry that I can't make it to chat tonight. Please only say good things about me!

Carol you may not be posting but I am sure the girls would love to chat with you.

DEE

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go To # 55.........A New Thread Has Been posted!!!!:D
