Woo hoo
I am so happy about my progress this week. Nothing substantial on the scales though I am officially by the skin of my teeth under 190. :carrot: But there is a sense of accomplishment to be walking again. This morning I put in 50 minutes and over three miles. At least I'm trying which makes me feel better about me.
Solly...I am so sorry for all the things that are pressing in right now. Praying that your new test show NOTHING in Jesus name and that you are going to continue to get stronger and healthier everyday. ((hugzz)) Ellen...Toni...and Mercee Hope ya'll are having a super day! ((Everybody)) Hope you have a fantastic OP weekend. Love and hugs, Crystle |
Grandson left yesterday so now I should get back to normal. Hope everyone is having a great day..

Good afternoon
Woo Hoo :carrot::carrot: Okay it isn't that exciting but I'm so pleased with my walk this morning. I walked for a whole hour and the first half hour I walked over 2 miles. It took some running but it was worth it. I didn't run much because things were shaking off the dresser and walls. LOL
Ya'll ready for this week? We are gonna have a good week. It is a rule, we have too. :dizzy: Toni..so glad you had special time with your grandson. I look forward to when my grand son is old enough to come over and visit so I can spoil him rotten. Mercee...you are doing such a GREAT job. You are are motivating me to do better. Solly...hope you are feeling better this week and start getting some good news on all these test you are having. ((hugzz)) Ellen...how is your week so far? Any new recipes? ((Everybody)) You ladies are the BEST!! Remember there is treasure in everyday. Sometimes we just gotta dig a little deeper. Love and hugs, Crystle |
Good morning ladies, It was a crazy weekend. My grandson has a stomach bug. The big "D" all weekend. Now I think he has given it to me. My DD's ar quit, luckily it was just the battery. She fell in the garage on the floor due to the rain and is all sore. We almost cancelled going to my nieces yesterday in Lex with all tht was going on, but glad we went as I got to see my other niece that lives in MD. I didn't know she was in town. So taht was a nice surprise. I am hurting really bad today. I can hardly walk. My neck surgery is scheduled for the 3rd of Sept. Do that is squared away now. I go to the oncologist on Wed to discuss the test results. We will see then.
Crystle, you are doing so great on your walking. I am lucky to get down the block w/o my leg killing me. I am so jealous. Keep it up and you will see results. I am diggng deep as I an to find that treasure today. I am very down and need some good news for a change. Toni, glad you had a good time with your GS. They sure can lift yoru spirits. Mercee, sometimes busy weekends are good, but they sure go fast that way. Ellen, hope you are well today. Have a great day. |
Good afternoon
I was not feeling my walk at all this morning but I did manage to get in 45 minutes. I think I need to eat a piece of fruit or something before I walk since I do not eat breakfast first. Then again it may just be because I didn't get enough sleep last night.
How are ya'll today? Solly..I'm glad you have a surgery date so you don't have to worry about that. Praying for your other visits and results. Okay Toni, where ya hiding? Ellen..miss your sweet frog over here. Mercee..thinking of you today also. ((Everybody)) Love and hugs, Crystle |
Sorry I haven't been on here. We've been busy getting ready for our trip to Colorado for my nieces wedding. We have a house sitter. We'll be leaving in the morning and will be back Sunday. Long drive not looking forward to the trip.

Hello, sweet friends! My internet is acting flakey and at times I can't connect, and others I can but it is very slow. Mr. Comcast is coming out in the morning to check it and see if they can figure out why. Its happened before, so I hope they can get it really fixed. I am so tired of internet problems! I am paying enough for this thing to WORK! That is why I have not been around. Yesterday, I could not connect at all. Today, its back on, but really slow!
So, we went to the family reunion on Friday and came back on Saturday..while we were gone there was a storm which seems to have caused the internet problems. The reunion was fun, and we enjoyed it. It was especially nice with the new car. The ride was so smooth and comfortable! I did great with the food and eating. Mainly because I hate that my mother in law makes light of my not eating gluten and meat. I had to work hard to find stuff to eat when she cooked for us, as she put ham and fat in all the vegetables, and her cornbread has wheat in it. I did not eat any desserts. I filled up on the bean salad I took, and other things I was sure did not contain gluten or much fat or meat as seasoning. It was hard! I had a doctor appointment today. They drew blood and the doctor had his nurse call and schedule a bone density and mammogram for me. I would have not done it, so it was snakey of him to push it. I like him, and yet I don't. He tends to talk to me like I am a simpleton. I was floored when he was explaining to me that if I work out and use muscles I don't usually use, I might experience some soreness... REALLY? Sheesh...I wanted to kick him. Thanks all for the compliments on the cookies. I was so delighted that they were well received by the folks at the shower. After the great cookie disaster back in May, my confidence was seriously lacking. Ok, I weighed again and was down two pounds to a new low, but after the reunion and eating stuff I usually don't eat, it seems to have popped back up a bit again today. I AM encouraged though. At least I saw the lower number...however briefly! :) Went for a walk with Tom last night, and tonight spent 30 minutes working out in the pool. I want to see that low number again! :) SOLLY: Praying for you. Lots. COUNTRY: Yay, you! on walking! MERCEE: You rock with your consistency. Its inspiring! TONI: I hope you enjoyed the grandson's visit! Off to bed! Good night! :wave: |
Good morning, just got in from the oncologist about my CAT scan. She says the nodule is nothing, but now they have to follow it and will do another san in Dec. I'm ok with that. She gave me Zyrtec, and 2 Z packs to get rid of this cough. If this doesn't work I ned to see and ENT or pulmonary doc. Now I can focus on the surgery. Thanks for all your prayers. I believe in them.
Ellen, nothing worse that computer/internet problems. Hope they can find the problem. You did a great job at the reunion with your eating. I go for the sleep study tonight with the mask. I didn't sleep at all last night so I should be able to sleep tonight. Toni, you are probably gone, but have a fun and safe trip. Crystle, even though you didn't feel like walking, I bet you are glad you went after you finished. Thanks for all your prayers, they worked. Got to run we are bidding a job today. :hug: |
Good morning ladies:
Ellen- Family reunions are so nice. Giood job with you eating while you were away. I'm sure your weight is only up because of the traveling by car. Sometimes long trips make us retain water. I'm sure you will see that new low on the scale soon. Toni- Have a great trip to Colorado and enjoy yourself at the wedding. Solly- I thank God your test results didn't fine anything to worry about. I will continue to pray for you. Crystle- Great job getting that walk in. Walk on sister. LOL Well I got up at 5:30a.m. and worked out yesterday because in the evenings on Tuesdays my schedule is packed. I was so sleepy when I first got to work but I made it. Today I will hit the gym this evening about 5:30 p.m. I am eating well and staying focused. Have a great day everyone. |
Good Morning Ladies:
Where is everyone? Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Have nice day. |
Woo hoo
So happy to really be out of the 190's. I don't have to stand on one foot, hold my breath or workout first, I am at 187. That is 7 pounds down since vacation. Mostly water but I am so happy. I was getting way too close to the 200's again.
Just finished my walk. I had no energy. I've got to increase my carbs a little. This is my second day running out of juice. And I only went 2 miles today. Mercee...You rock! I could not imagine working those hours and still getting my bootie to the gym. :carrot::carrot::carrot: Solly...praise God for the good report. Looking forward to many more. Ellen..I hope your internet is better. Mine was being goofy this morning but only at one site. I think it may have been there server. Toni..hope you are having fun while you are away. Love and hugs, Crystle |
Good morning ladies. Just got in from my surgery pretesting They took 5 viles of blood. That is the 3rd time this week so I think I am out of blood. They nurse told me they use music therapy so thety load an ipod with your favorite music and play it during the anasthesia-surgery. That is pretty cool. So other than therapy twice a week, I am free of docs and sticking and tests. Yeah! :dance:
Crystle, I am so happy that you are at a new low. I am so jealous. I was up another pound and a quarter since Wed at my other doc's office. Don't know if the scales are off or if I am just eating so much I am gaining like crazy. I am an emotional eater and with this last month of goings on, all I have done is eat. I sure wish I could walk. You are doing so great with your walking. Keep up the good work. Mercee, I really like working out in the mornings, it takes a lot if discipline to do it as that bed feels way too good to leave but after awhile, it becomes habit and easier. You are such an inspiration. Ellen, they told me to bring my Cpap machine to the hospital if I get it before the surgery. I don't know if I will have it in time or not. Hope everyone has a great weekend. We have no big plans. I hope to lay on a raft in a pool most of it as I only have 2 weekends to enjoy the pool. Talk to you Monday. :hug: |
Just a quick note...the grandson is here tonight while his parents are at a concert. Unfortunately the concert is at an out door amphitheater. Its storming terribly! Thunder, lightening...pouring rain. We took the boy to an unusual ice cream place called the Frosty Caboose. Its a walk up ice cream place in an old caboose and so cute! He is really into Thomas the Tank Engine so he LOVES it. We sat in the car in the dark and ate the ice cream. I got raspberry sorbet, but only ate a few bites before I made Tom finish it. Hopefully I did not eat TOO much.
Still having problems with the home network. Tom ordered a new router. It should arrive on Monday or Tuesday. Yesterday, I stripped the old wall paper backing off the walls in my new studio. The backing had 15 years of drawings on it by my kids and their friends. It was hard to do, but it was time. I am very encouraged by the progress I am making. The biggest thing left to do is the floor, and painting the walls. Then I will have to move my wheel and some shelves in. I already have a corner set up to paint in and started a portrait of my grandson. I am so excited! Had coffee with a woman my age from church today. She is a personal chef and we have a lot in common. I really enjoyed it. There are not many of us older women at the church, and I loved having someone more my age to converse with. SOLLY: How did you sleep at the titration study? You are going to feel SO much better once you get used to the cpap...I can't get over how much more energy I have now. Its amazing. Makes me mad I did not go years ago! |
Good Monday morning ladies.
Had a lazy weekend just hung out at a pool Sat and then at my DD's on Sunday. Good thing it was a lazy weekend as I had no energy what so ever. I know a lot of it has to do with me doing nothing to exercise at all. But I can't walk, I can't do anything with my neck and the therapist doesn't want me doing anything b/c they can't tell what you are sore from. So I am just a big lump, getting bigger. Ellen, I think I slept ok. Can't say it slept any better. I am a mouth breather and it only covered my nose so if I tried to breathe through my mouth, I could tell it got messed up. I am anxious to get it to just get on with it. My RLS has been driving me crazy. Sure hope it helps with that. The tech said it would not help but I know you said it did. Glad you are getting your studio finished. Your portrait of your GS was beautiful. You are so talented. Hope everyone else is having a great day so far. |
