Hi everyone,,,hope all is well with each and everyone !

My week-end sucked,,I started having some tooth pain last week and thought it was the Byetta that I take,,I know it can cause tooth pain,,by friday night at work I was about to die from the pain,,,left early and came home,,by then I figured out I had a abcess (sp),,,started taking antibiotic :mad: it at least is down some,,can't really tell what tooth it is yet,,thats strange for sure,,,but know if I go to the dentist he won't touch it until the abcess is cleared up,,,I spent saturday and sunday down,,,and hurting ,,I am up now and feeling better but my mouth still hurts,,,seems like it never stops in the last few months,,,my back with the cyst,,,and all the MRI"s and now this,,,not looking forward to dealing with this at all,,,the closest denal clinic is over 60 miles away and I am sure it won't be a one appointment thing,,anyway sorry for all my whinning,,,:stress: :stress: :stress:

Congrats to all the wt losses I see out there,,,,:dance: :dance:

And welcome to all the new folks,,,:carrot:

And a birthday I see ,,,:hb:

I never talk about my age much,,my hubby is lots,,lots younger than me so I am a little shy about it,,,we have been together for almost 8 years now,,,it works for us,,,we live in the smallest of towns so it makes it easier ,,,everyone knows everyone,,,but we still get some looks,,,:goodvibes guys are different from women,,,it never bothers him ,,,most of the time not me,,,but there have been a few,,,:gossip:

Have a wonderful day and thanks for listening to me cry :o jeanne :genie:

Sorry, gang . . . I missed you all yesterday. I was just sooooo busy. Please forgive me. Today has been another doozy of a day but in a whole different way.

First of all, decided to get weighed a day early . . . what a mistake . . . the mean old scale-:devil: told me I've gained four pounds again. :mad: Now I know I was a little overly indulgent with the salt last night :o , but I didn't think it was four pounds worth. Anyway, I refuse to move my ticker to the left. This will go away again shortly; but it's awfully frustrating just the same. :?:

I spent most of today in another town about 50 miles away. First a periodontist appointment (never fun), followed by lunch (bad choice, Fish and Chips) but I only ate half (my system just cannot handle the grease anymore since I've been feeding it better) and then shopping with a friend (a lot more fun).

Josian . . . Sorry I missed your birthday. :hug: Thirty didn't bother me too much . . . but forty really freaked me. Fifty was OK again and sixty just sort of happened without my even noticing it. :dizzy: Good luck with those doctors appointments.

Glen . . . Cute one, boyo. :hug: You never know how much you miss something until you can't have it. Couldn't find a new carafe to fit my old Melitta machine so finally bought a new Sunbeam coffee maker today. Just finished it's first cup and I don't think it extracts quite as well as the old one so I'll have to give it a little more coffee for the same amount of water. But I enjoyed it just the same.

Rosetta . . . Pick yourself up and get heading in the right direction, again girl.:hug: Notice how good I am about following my own advice. :o Just do as I say not as I do. :o

Judy . . . Sorry to hear about the sore toe. :hug: Did you bump it? Any signs of ingrown nail problems? Sometimes I get toe and/or foot pains for apparently no reason at all. Very much a burning sensation that is worse in bed then at any other time. I just chalk it up to a bit of diabetic neuropathy. If it continues, you'd better mention it to your doctor.

Rosey . . . Snow . . . oh my. :hug: That really makes me feel better about our weather being only in the mid to high 50's. :dizzy: Definitely a good time to get some housework done. That'll warm you up before you know it. :D

Jeanne . . . Oh, wow, I feel your pain. :hug: I remember having an abcessed tooth once and I thought I was going to die. I know this will probably sound strange, :dizzy: but I always think any kind of pain that's right there in your head with you is much harder to deal with than a pain somehere else in the body. Hope the infection goes away soon so you can get to the dentist for treatment. Don't you worry about the gossips. the only thing that matters is that you are both happy.

Well, gang . . .tomorrow will be another busy one since I'm now behind on the work-project stuff, but hopefully I'll get a chance to pop in here. You all just keep moving and shaking. :carrot:

Its a cloudy spring day here. Rain due for the next 3 or 4 days,
I think it is diabetic neuropathy,seems to happen at nite. Will keep track of it and mention it when I go back to the dr. in August. If it gets too bad will make an appointment sooner.
Everyone have a great day.
Judy S

Good morning:D

Wonderful weather here today,,,sunny and bright,,but chilly,,:flow1:

My mouth is feeling a tad bit better most of the puffyness is down,,,put it still hurts right where the abcess started,,high up on my face,,today is day 5 on the antibiotic so should just get better,,,my bs have been high tho,,for me pain and stress drive the numbers up,,,thanks for all the kind words Meowee,,,,and I wouldn't change your ticker either,,,it is water I bet and will be gone in no time,,,but i know how you feel,,,its like WHAT ?,,,and can send you into a tail spin,,,but you sound pretty grounded,,,,:yoga:

Well short morning have to try to work today,,,am hoping it is only a 8 hour shift,,,but the way my luck has been going it will be a 10 at least,,,:shrug:

Take care all of you and talk to you soon,,,Jeanne :genie:

Hi all!

Back to the drawing board. Meowee, I'm refusing to step on the metal monster myself these days. The meeting went really well last night. Lasted until almost 9:30, but it was the first of it's kind this year so I won't complain much.

Gotta run. I see my endo on Monday and hopefully they can help get me back on the right track.

Hugs,

Morning everyone..the sun did come out for about 3 seconds this am but its still freezing cold..have to run errands today..im feeling marvelous..sl are awsome and i have more energy..have been sticking with theplan.. yesterday i got the big closet cleaned..u know the one if you open the door stuff falls on your head or feet:?: it was an accopmlishment..and why do we save all that junk:o im going to have a huge gagrage sale sometime this summer..anyways hope u all have agreat day (((((((((hugs))))) rosey :wave:

Hi there sugar-babies. Its raining but since I've been stuck inside working anyway, I guess it doesn't matter too much.

Rosey . . . it's marvellous that you feel marvellous. :hug: and it's marvellous that you actually got some cleaning done and you still feel so great. ;)

Josian . . . hang in there. :hug: Everything will work out eventually. Some times are just more trying than others.

Jeanne . . . glad to hear the pain is a little better. :hug: Hope you make out all right at work.

Judy . . . Just keep an eye on things. :hug: A little neuopathy isn't too serious, but you do have to be careful with those feet. They can get into some unexpected trouble sometimes. ;)

As mentioned, another busy day for me. The good news is that this was my official weigh-in day and 3 of the 4.4 lbs of www (weird-water-weight) have gone away again. Hopefully I'll be back to the downward direction again by this time next week. I WILL NOT get on the scale again until then. Scale-hopping always screws me up.

Have a great evening, everybody. Keep moving and shaking and doing the right stuff. See you soon. :carrot:

(((((((hugs)))))) rosey :wave:

Hi gang . . . yesterday was a bruiser of a busy day. :( I've been having a bit of a funny day, today . . . haven't really done much of anything and yet it has been exhausting; don't know where the time has gone. :dizzy: Weather is absolutely beautiful . . . warm (mid-60's) and sunny . . . just the kind of day I wish could last all year. :cool:

Let us know how you like Curves, Josian :hug: . . . wish they'd run a free trial around here.

Have fun painting the kitchen, Rosey. :hug: Think of it as exercise. Your waffle-treat sounds great. My problem, I'm sure, would be stopping at just one. :o

Wow . . . Pink . . . you went lots of places; it's no wonder you were pooped.:hug: Hope your weather is good and you feel good, too.

Well, guess I'd better get back to my busy schedule of doing nothing much. Keep moving and shaking, gang. See you soon. :carrot:

Hi, all. Well, the weigh-in on Wednesday night was bad. Up 3 lbs. Haven't been able to get back on track the last few days. Have been eating pooring and am afraid to get on the scale. Will talk to myself this weekend and try to get back on track by Monday. Have a session with my personal trainer tomorrow. I haven't been to the gym for two weeks so I'm back to square one. Rosey and Meowee -- glad you aare both getting some sun. Our weather is in the 70s, which is too warm for me. Hope it doesn't get any hotter. Rosey - have fun painting that kitchen. Wish I could fix up mine. Ladies (and Glen), have a great weekend.

Hi everyone,,,wanted to drop by and say Happy Mothers Day early to you all,,,I am going away for the week-end and am looking forward to it,,,:carrot:

I hope all is going well with each and everyone of you,,,:hug:

Gotta run have to work,,,having a gam session at work tonight should be fun,,,but it is close to a full moon so the nuts will be out,,,:stress: :stress:

See you all later,,,Jeanne :genie:
