Still
So glad to hear things went well. You take it easy and come chat with us when you can.

Tammy I bought the whole package and would like to do it again because mine has been through a lot but it is hard to dish that out again. I use my black book (mine is blue, LOL!) to much not to have it but the rest of the stuff I have used off and on. I need to buy new bands because I can't find mine and they were getting old and I can just see me now pulling up and one breaking. OUCH! Body type B's eat differently than A's which is what I am. Still the same types of food but different combinations at different times.

Val ~ It will amaze you how much better you feel when you start eating healthy. I fell off the wagon about a month ago and I was gradually starting to feel worse each day physically and drained. I have to tell you, I am 40 and I have a 27 month old grandson and they are draining to say the least.

Shy ~ Your right, this is for the rest of our life. You crack me up about the pool thing. Its good that you were able to see the progress you have made and keeping it off is a big accomplishment.

Tammy ~ How did it go at the specialist?

Tinky ~ LOL about the pants. Doesn't this program just do wonders. I am back on track and will be staying there because DH is now paying attention to what is going in the mouth and not just watching it go in. LOL! He said no more ICKY stuff in the house or going out for it. So I am very excited.

I am so excited for you Tinky. I know the feeling you are talking about and how exciting it is to be smaller. I just need to get my but in gear so I can feel that excitement again. Keep talking about it and doing a fantastic job because it motivates me.

Home is the hardest place for me to stay on track also. Food is available, not always the greatest choices and others are eating in front of me. Work is routine, no one eating in front of me and I have to eat what I bring. I have other options but choose not to spend my money on it.

Tammy ~ I put in Chinese weeping willow bushes. DH's absolutely hates them because they got so big but I love them. He is just made because they are closer to my hog scolder (witches pot) than he wanted them and they are hard to mow around.

Still ~ So glad that things went well and I will pray for a speedy recovery.

Well I better get going and actually do some work this afternoon. I decided to catch up with everyone first.

Talk to you all later.

Still, glad to hear from you!!!

Grammy, we don't go to the specialist till Friday afternoon. I sat down today and wrote down some things that I want to talk about with him. I'll have to check out the Chinese weeping willow bushes. Might be something I'd like to have.

Getting ready to go to a meeting at church. Had both aerobics classes this morning and I survived.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Tammy ~ Good luck at the specialist and let us know as soon as you hear. I will pray for good news. My DH's family has liver problems and it is scary.

Tinky ~ I plan on doing a workout tomorrow morning. I am going to buy new bands tonight. I have new motivation this week because DH informed me his friend asked him to be the best man in his wedding the end of August. The fun part of it is they live in Pennsylvania so we are going out there for a week. My supervisor approved my time off today. WHOHOO! Should be a good time but I would like to be down into the 130's or 140's by then. You know how fast this program works and that it is possible to do it but I need to stay focused. I would like to do some rapid result meals but I always end feeling all icky so I don't do them anymore.

I just had OP Italian Turkey sausage I made w/brown rice and spaghetti sauce. I figure I would skip the pasta and replace it with a 1/2 c. brown rice. To me the rice is just as good as the pasta. It was mouth watering good. I also skip the cheese.

Tinky the outing sounds like fun. I wish they did outings here at my work. The faculty get to go once a year but they leave me behind. I guess they think its exciting enough here. LOL! You know explosions and such. HAHAHA! We had big booms yesterday and I went to my boss and asked if those are planned booms or unplanned. He said he wasn't sure. I said well we will know soon. Turned out they were planned.

Well I better get going and I will talk to you all later.

well it is nice to see everyone popping up around here again. I am doing ok. today is day 4 in bed. I am really hoping to be up more tomorrow. I was out in the kitchen today a little to clean a few things. My oldest came home today for a while and watched a movie with me and helped move laundry around. DS has been a BIG help to me. Even my 3 y/o has been helping mom out. Dh got mad at me today and put 4 jello cups and 2 pudding cups in my bedside table and told me that when he gets home tonight they better all be gone!!!! HIS ORDERS! He doesnt think I am eating. Well I am, just not much. I didnt eat much since Sunday night because of the pain meds and just plain ol' feeling BLAH and a little nausous. So today I ate more than any other day...2 jello cups, 1 pudding cup and a 1/2 slice of pizza then I had a small bowl of cereal for dinner. Tomorrow I am going to have eggs in the morning and get my day started right....I only had to take 2 doses of pain meds today...but probably could have taken more, but didnt really want to because then I wont feel like eating.

Tinky, you are doing great!! It feels good to actually enjoy working out.

Grammy, that meal sounds tasty!!

Still, take it easy!! Don't overdo it. Glad to hear you are getting some help.

Hubby just said he is looking forward to the doctor visit, just so we can get some answers to all of our questions. Usually he dreads them.

GOOD MORNING!

Still ~ I don't blame your husband for pushing food on you but I also understand that its hard to eat when you don't feel well. I had the same experience with pain medication. You may want to talk to the doctor and maybe he can give you something else to help with the pain although it sounds like your recovering fast. Kids can be big help when they see Mom down and out. That is about the only time mine helped out.

The scale didn't move today but I am alright with that. I was not perfect yesterday and hopefully its a little water retention holding me up. We ate out for dinner and even when you order right, it usually has to much sodium in it. When I got home I decided that I would get on the gazelle and get a little extra exercise. I haven't been on thing in a long time but it was getting dark and the bugs were in full force so I thought that was my best bet.

I did get my hair cut and I have never done this before but I got my eye brows waxed. I thought it really hurt but it wasn't so bad. She said that mine were already almost perfect and I just needed a little touch up. Then I took DD so she could get her ears pierced again.

OK, I think I am going to get my nose pierced this weekend. For some reason it feels like going over the edge, why I have no idea because I have tattoos. LOL! At least the nose piercing can be taken out if I don't like it, tattoos are not that easy to get rid of. I think I associate it with being young when in reality a lot of woman my age are getting it done. My dog groomer just got hers done and one of my bosses wife has it done but she is from India. My SIL got it done a couple of years ago and she said she loves it and so does the dog groomer. So maybe this weekend we will go do it. I don't want my GS with me when I get it done and we can't get him because DH can't be around him till next week with his thyroid being killed with the radioactive iodine. I am just nervous about it and worry it is going to hurt. I have had my nose broke several times, the last time so severely they said I now need to wear a face mask when I am around my horses or doing anything where it is strong possibility it could happen like playing baseball but what they don't realize is for me it could happen at any time. LOL! I was putting a box up on a high shelf here in the office and it came down and hit me in the nose. My nose swelled, bleed and went numb. I am a walking accident when it comes to my nose. LOL!

Well I better get going and I will talk to you all later.

Tinky, WAY TO GO!!!! I hope you can move past that alot faster than I have been able to!! lol Are we all invited to the wedding to sing???????

Grammy, I have considered getting my eyebrows done. Pretty adventurous for this old lady!!

I need to finish getting ready. We leave for the doctor in about 45 minutes.
