Good morning all.

Just a fly by for me today, because I can't concentrate on anything for more than about 2 seconds. My Dr. changed around my meds, and the stuff that makes me dizzy, is now being split up, and I take one in the morning instead of all at once at night. So, I'm a total space cadet today!

I'm thinking about calling DH and having him pick me up from work. I'll see if I can stick it out till lunch to see if it gets any better - but this is horrible!

Sorry for going on my rant - Thanks for listening!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I think Lisa and I are having the same sleep! This AM I dreamt I Was beating my alarm clock!
Food has been in the toilet! WE've been having some $$ issues and I just ARG! you know DH and I had a screaming match last night which we resolved I just need to not be the only adult!
Tomorrow we are MAine Bound so hopefully we'll get some relaxing time! I'll post more in a bit!

PS Cat that's an Amazing Story!

Well, I am having a better day than yesterday....I got news late in the afternoon about my glucose test done on Saturday. I am borderline diabetic but they are not too concerned, especially since I am now doing the SBD. I talked to her about my sugar cravings and my intolerance to Spenda & SF stuff, and she explained that my "ill" feelings are probably because my body is not used to the fake sugar, but that it should go away in several weeks once my body is used to it. So, last night I stopped at the grocery store and got SF popsicles, SF jello & SF Cool Whip, along with some Splenda packets. Last night I had SF jello and Cool Whip and I was in HEAVEN !!!!! I did also get some pre-cooked turkey sausage that I can cook in the microwave, and some egg beaters, so I will try tonight to cook up my breakfasts for tomorrow and Friday ahead of time.

For breakfast today, I had two pieces of string cheese, a can of V-8 juice, and water. For lunch, I’ve got steamed shrimp (cold) and SF jello for dessert. I am hoping that the crew I work with is going out for lunch, so that I can have them get me a salad w/ oil& vinegar, then I can have my Laughing Cow cheese for my afternoon snack (I just LOVE that stuff…….if it were not for the SBD, I would have never found it…)

As far as dinner is concerned, I will have to stop and get something, cause I never took anything out of the freezer last night.

Toodles everyone……and happy HUMP day !!!!!

good morning chicks!

Congratulation on all of the weight loss. I am going back OP today ... i tripped/stumbled, and will pick myself back up.:carrot:

And to make sure you are having an OP day.

What a busy day! We've had four production outages since 1AM this morning. Two within 3 minutes of each other.

It's been a nonstop day of meeting after meeting merged in with outages. I'm going to TRY to get out of here early since I started at 6:30 this morning. One of my coworkers handled the outages at 1 and 4am and I got the one at 6:30. We split up the two that occurred together this afternoon.

Last night's dinner was good. My son and I made his favorite stir fry. Lean beef, carrots, broccoli, ginger, garlic, scallions, parsnip (yes, I know it is limited), tomato pesto and LOTS of cayenne and some crushed red pepper. I do the dicing and Brian does all the cooking. We all like it although it is very spicy and I like seeing him help cook. I think it is good for kids to learn and 10 is certainly old enough.

Sonja, I have a failing marriage that causes me to be unable to sleep most nights. I have tried Valerian in the past, but the bottle that I had expired and I haven't had the chance to get anymore. I just bought some B Vitamins which has helped my anxiety/mood during the day, but for now it's just Sleepytime Tea at night.

Inventory went quickly today, and then I did another project, and my knees are 100% shot. I came home early to rest them. I can't walk right because the muscles around my knees are so screwed up now from standing up, squatting down, standing up, squatting down.... oy.

Hope all of you are having a good day. I'm going out to eat tonight (sigh) for DH's friend's birthday. I won't go SUPER wild but I am going to go a little wild. I haven't eaten anything yet today though, so I figure if I have a salad and some veggies in a bit, I should be alright tonight. I just don't want to GAIN! But, I also can't live my life by what the scale says either. I guess a treat once a month isn't so bad.... right?

I'm sorry to hear about your marriage difficulties, Lisa. That must be really hard for you. how are you working through it?
I'm way off track today. Totally binged. Cereal...two bowls...half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...some crackers...ugh. my allergies are killing me and i just feel like poo.
luckily i have a pretty dedicated exercise partner so we're going to the gym. Probably gonna eat a little chicken w veggies later and try to get my mind back on track tomorrow.
hope you're all doing well!!

Hello chicks, just a quick cluck-in today. The conference has been a big waste of time as far as papers go, but has been great for networking. I had a great group of people I worked with about ten years ago, who have all left the company (except for me and one other) and are now big-wigs and VPs of this and chairpersons of that, and I have seen ALL of them at this conference. We're all getting together tomorrow for a reunion lunch which should be really fun. Anyway, I guess the week is worth it just for the chance to renew these relationships, but every day I get farther behind in other work and that really stinks! Food has been pretty well on plan, I have scrupulously avoided the pastries and big cookies they put out every day. I've been taking most of my food along, but today I attended the luncheon and was served a piece of cheesecake which I didn't have a chance to refuse because I didn't see it coming. I did eat one third of it, but stopped myself there and had to look at the rest of it for 45 minutes while the speaker was talking. Torture.
Hope you all are having a good week - Hump Day is almost over and then we're on the downhill side!

Hey chickies...

Just checking in for the night. Waiting for DH to get home for Top Chef- our favorite show. I have a bottle of wine waiting. :)

I didn't wind up doing anything today other than working at school. I was, however, able to get quite a bit done without the kids there. They were really happy to see me when I picked them up, so that made me feel good. I think we need a bit of time away from one another.

I have a tote of work to get started on, so need to get the girlies in bed and get started.

Love ya gals!

Shhhh........
 

Night chickies, I'll be quiet so I don't wake you. I'm finally sitting down for the night and browsing.
It's been a long week already and I'm had. Went to the dentist on Monday so he could repair a broken crown....not possible. Had to have the tooth pulled and then a screw drilled into the maxilla bone so that I can have an implant placed.....wow, not my idea of a fun implant if ya know what I mean. Probably costs the same as the others. Anyhoo, have been pretty miserable for the past couple of days. Came home from work early and went to bed.

Have been doing OK on the eating, it's been hot enough, that there aren't too many things that taste wonderful.

Well, off to watch the news.

Hugs:hug:
