Good morning all. Yesterday was a busy day for me. I did my first driving in 2 months. My sister had surgery and I was on the road at 5am. Reminded me how much I hated getting up so early when I was working.
She had a large cyst on one ovary and they took both. At 70 she doesn't need them.It was benign which was all we cared about. She had a rough day as she was allergic to pain meds and they had to change it.She sounded much better when I talked to her at 8pm.
I have no idea when I will get the defib/pacemaker. The cardiac surgeon has to view my records and then call me. Hopefully sometime in next 2 weeks.
But overall I am doing ok.
Just stopped by to say hello.

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was one of the crazy days at work. I didn't even have time to check my work email let alone the board...but I kept thinking about all of you.

I had a little bit of a disappointment on the scales last night at my meeting, I gained 1/2 a pound. I keep playing with that 1/2 lb...this week I'm getting it gone along with another 1/2! That's going to be my goal every day for the next week...work that pound off!

I did go for a walk on my lunch hour yesterday. I had planned to do that in the morning when I was leaving home. I almost thought about skipping lunch so I could keep working, but I remembered my long range weight goal and the fact that I want to become a more balanced person, so I went ahead with the walk. That's a nonscale victory.

Eleni,

Good news that it was benign. Glad to hear you are doing well. Have you gone swimming lately? We just closed our pool last weekend finally. Megan was bummed. Keep up the great work.

Susie,

Congrats on your goal. That is great that you took the time to think what was really important to you. Great job on getting the walk in. You can get 1 lb off this week. I am with you girl. How is the class going?

As for me I am doing great. My goal for the week is to do 1 load of laundry a day and put it away so I don't get so far behind. That way I don't have to miss my workout. I didn't go this morning because we are having company tonight and you couldn't walk through my house so I did some picking up this morning. Still have a long way to go but I will get there. Have a great day. Yes I am still sticking to my points.

Sherri:
You asked about the class. We have our first test next week. I'm going to start studying for it this weekend and I'll spend an 1-2 hours on each day until test day. I'm thinking I'll do ok...well, I'm praying I'll do ok.

Your non-weight goal is a good one. I know that for awhile I spent 30 min each day working on cleaning one room in my house. It made it so much easier to clean on Saturday. Right now, I'm just trying to keep things tidy..that helps a lot! We have no children so if something is left out and needs to be put away it's eithier me or my husbands mess!

I'm glad you staying within your points. Good girl!

Eleni: I bet it felt good to be out and driving. I'm glad things turned out well for your sister. I hope your doctor gets you scheduled soon. The wait time for something like that has to seem like forever. I'll be praying for you.

How's everyone else doing? We would love to see you on the board.

Today is my 16th wedding anniversary. DH is taking me out to dinner and we are buying a new comforter set for our bedroom. Also, we both are not working this weekend...we are going to spend two whole days together!

I'll be around sometime this weekend.
