Shelby, I'm sure you'll be fine! Plan ahead, and take some nutritious snacks with you to munch on to keep the hunger away for bad stuff. And even if you do slip up, it's just a couple days and a few of a little extra work will take those right off, as long as you get back on track as soon as you get home again. And remember, the inches can make more difference than the weight because those inches are what makes the clothing fit better.
Amber, surgery isn't so bad. I know it seems like it is, such a big thing going on, but just remember the good it does. Try not to stress out and worry so much because the rest you get before and after make a huge difference in healing. Then you might have a cool scar to show people. Just don't be like my Grandma...my mom constantly had to remind her "Momma, strangers do NOT want to see your mastectomy scar!"
Yay Fae! That just flows off the tongue...I hope you enjoy your pizza. I haven't ordered one in a few weeks, and that was just a tiny one for lunch that lasted a few days. I make my own pizza at home. I make the dough with my bread machine and I'm able to add in some whole wheat flour, then my own sauce from canned tomatoes tomato sauce seasoned up the way I want it and I can pick the better cheese to go on it. You can't tell a difference in taste with the wheat flour, and it makes a perfect crispy soft crust...crisp on the outside, and thicker parts like the outer edge have a soft center. Congrats on the scale!
Dana, it's okay if you missed me a bit. I know lots who would say they wish they had never known about me to begin with
The 40 degrees was very nice, especially since we're expecting 3-5 inches of snow today and another 2-4 tonight. The temperature is slowing dropping from about 30 starting this morning to now 28, and should stop at 21 or so. The drop for the low tonight...
Brooke, I'm so glad your neck is feeling better. Now you'll be able to get back into your swing of things, having fun at the Y with Melody...if the weather doesn't keep you in. It's supposed to be everything from blizzard like snow in NY to freezing rain and sleet down into VA. Even DC is getting some rain and stuff.
As for me, I slacked yesterday from being just plain exhausted. I didn't sleep well the night before and it carried over into my body which is rare, but it happens. I still got about 40 minutes in, so I have 35 to make up for this month to meet my goal. I can knock that out on a Saturday while Tim is working and just have a Sunday to rest and relax. Speaking of Tim, he's getting sick and he's so tired and worn out from work. He's been having so many problems lately with this girl that came in a few months ago determined to be a Marine. Everything worked out and she swore in, then was supposed to go to boot camp at the end of January and got a hernia so she had to wait, so they changed the date back and the medical office for the Marines decided she would leave later than her doctor said she could and everytime something changed she said she wouldn't say anything, then she turned around and told her mom who went balistic and started calling MEPS (the medical office place) and her dad somehow got the CO's number (commanding officer) of the devision and tried to call him to bug him and they've called to tell Tim off, as if he can control people higher than him and their daughter, a teenage girl with issues of her own so the girl decides yesterday to walk in and tell him she wants to pull out and not go at all. He's more stressed about the crap her and her parents are pulling than having her back out because they don't need flaky teenage girls in the military. She even got a promise ring from a guy that came back to the area for a few weeks in December that ended up stealing a pair of socks IN UNIFORM because he lacked the self discipline to dress himself properly. He disobeyed a signed agreement that he would not get involved with any poolee (person joining) and it was found out after he was sent back to his command early from the discipline problems. People like this are just sad and pathetic to me. My poor husband is having to deal with that and other mess and then he gets sick and he just needs a break but can't have one. I hate this place...
And that is my feel-better rant. Now I will go watch tv and cut out coupons, and later this morning have some breakfast and get my exercise out of the way. If I don't do an hour today, I give permission to anyone around to hunt me down and
