Good morning gals,
I woke up in a pretty good mood this morning! I had a decent day yesterday, drank lots of water and stayed OP...I didn't get to the gym but I did go for a late evening walk with my DH. I've gotta work this evening, so I'll get in some stair climbing!
ellis....THANK YOU, I'M UP NOW
that cake is b-e-a-u-tiful
I can't wait until Thursday, I made myself an appointment for a full body massage! I am looking so forward to it...I haven't been in over a year..and since I was last there I've lost 30 lbs and increased my muscle tone.
I actually got some sleep last night! Yeah! No naughty puppy to take outside a couple of times a night. But I miss that little stinky puppy breath and knowing that my truck is fixed and I'm driving it around is great! Relieves some of the stress. Also my truck is parked right out front (probably being door dinged as we speak) but at least it is in a very public place. Kudos to the wrecker driver who took extra time to make sure he didn't bend or scrape the rim that was sitting on the ground. Otherwise it would have been closer to a $1,000 bucks instead of $500.00. I was good until last night and DS and I went to Arbys for dinner. I had a french dip and FRIES! So now I have to go load that into fit day so if you hear something exploding in a minute - it's my fit day record for yesterday.
Ruth - check out the puppy pictures on yesterday's thread. They will make you smile! I love dairy queen. My roommates (many many moons ago) used to have a cat that would go beg at the Dairy Queen. He was soooo fat. He looked just like Garfield.
Ellis - Thanks! Sometimes we don't know why things happen to us but I trust there is a reason. Thanks for everything!
Soon - Don't dwell on what your father said. Trust in the fact that it was time for her. She's in a better place. (((((Hugs)))))) Next time a family member is sent to the hospital make sure someone is there 24/7 take shifts if necessary. The hospital here left my SIL on serious narcotics for 6 weeks when it wasn't supposed to exceed 6 days. They figured it out when she was ready to run down the halls nakey cause there were bunches of people running nakey down the halls. It took her 1 1/2 years to get off the drugs.
Everyone Else - HI
Today I'm back on the beach for good. I actually feel pretty good for eating all that crapola last night. Today is supposed to be the 1st day of TOM. We'll see what happens. What is really funny is that I haven't had to take any of my PMS meds this month. Maybe cutting the calories and staying close to the beach has helped tremendously.
Soon~As a nurse who deals with blood thinners everyday at work I know that there is bloodwork that should be drawn everyday in order to regulate the medication (coumadin, heparin). Everybody absorbs this medication at a different rate which is why it is so closely regulated. I would ask to get a copy of your mom's medical records including all lab work, MD progress notes, nurses notes and medication records. This would be the only way to prove that she "got too much of the blood thinner" by error. This could possibly be a medical mal-practice issue.
On the other hand, it could be a platelet issue that they just were unable to reverse. But I would check it out. It doesn't make things any better but if they were in the wrong, they should be held responsible and pay. Not only that, but it will go on the MD's record for review. Could save somebody else in the future. IMO.
Well it's TOM for me, I knew it was coming since it's a birth control withdrawl, just didn't expect it to be so soon. Anyhow, I am guessing by the posts that it usually causes weight gain so I decided to try and not weigh myself for the next few days.
Kiko- you are absolutely right, your girls are most important and you should put them first. The laundry will get done eventually.
Ruth: I need a nap..Your day already has worn me out!
Ellis: Cool Cake! That's the closest I think I'll get to one for awhile
Anchors: Stinky Puppy is 2 Cute! Glad to hear your truck is back on the road..and parked in a public area..!
Phins: oooh a massage, how mahvalous dahlink Hi mamadragon,FFrog,Eleni, Jenne,Bamie
Soon2bfit: ARGH! I am mentally giving sis a swift kick in the arse...A dear friend of mine (43 and in good shape) went in for stent (runs in his family) , 2 much heparin and he died..just horrific and heartbreaking..My GF just won a malpractice suit against the docs...
LOVE: thats right just hop back on Phase1
Kiko: Good going on fatting up that little "porkchop"
Angelshine: sounds like your email was done in a kind and loving manner...hope you 2 can patch things up.
Me Fielding more calls on the townhome... if nothing comes through this week will have another open house next weekend. Heading to the pool with a good book today..(sigh, being unemployed for the first time in my life is not hard at all I'm gonna enjoy every minute of it! )
P.S. Today ends week 5 I think and WAHOO BUCKAROOS, I'm down 2 more pounds...only 51 more 2 go... Ah the Scale Gods are being good 2 me!
Ellis--that cake is AWESOME! Where were you when I was wedding cake hunting? (cake's don't really ship well, though, do they? ).
FreckledFrog--I'm making taco bake for the first time tonight, too! I think my hubby will like it. He enjoyed the pulled pork.
Anyone have more crock pot recipes? Or stuff for the grill? I love not turning on the oven!
I'm deciding if I should weight myself or just see what the scale at the Dr's says. I'll probably weigh myself, but I'm not sure why. I hope I get some answers while I'm there.
It THUNDERED and rained here last night. Every time it rains Andy gets excited b/c that's one less time we have to water the lawn. He's a little bit cheap (or "frugal," as he prefers to be called).
I was out running errands yesterday before going to the gym. I should have eaten before I left the house. I knew if I went home I wouldn't make it to the gym, so I just grabbed a low-carb wrap from Subway. I know it's not really good for p1 but it was better than a burgur and fries from McDonald's or something!
I still need to drink more water. Why do I find that so difficult?
I love you all, and I will write shortly, but I have to get on the frickin' treadmill. It's 39C (103F) right now with the humidex, and I am SO not happy. In fact, I am FURIOUS with this weather!
HAPPY FEET,DH and I r off to Lake Palastine till friday....I hv to rush and get our things packed!!! I FINALLY GET TO GOFISHIN!!!!(U didn't think my name was GOFISHIN for nothing )
Hope Uall hv a HAPPY BEACH TOWELS till I get back ,,,,,Wl miss ur daily posts ....C U Friday..............GOFISHIN

I'm just going to jump in here...hope that's okay.
I just started SBD yesterday and I feel great. Every other diet I've tried I've been starving all day but not yesterday. And not today so far either. I think the best part is breakfast...in my pre-SBD days I would eat cereal (often froot loops...gulp) and be starving an hour later. Today and yesterday I made this recipe from the cookbook with canadian bacon and eggs and feel great. It's almost 9am and I'm still full!!! GREAT!
Last year I started a great workout program thinking that was all I would need to do to lose weight. Well, I feel good but I haven't lost any weight...probably because I would feel entitled to a treat because I'd worked out. So, I'm hoping that adding SBD to my workout routine will be just the ticket. I'm feeling so positive, it's great!
But I miss that little stinky puppy breath
