So glad to hear you are on the mend, ASHLEY . . . actually I think going in as an emergency is the best way to have surgery -- you don't get to worry about it before hand. :yes:

Anyway, just whipping by with a :wave: this morning. We are in the midst of some nasty thunderboomers and the power is feeling a little 'iffy'. Hope to see you later. :yes:

Rice~~So good to hear from you. :hug: I had really began to worry about you and I bet I have wondered about you at some point every day! Girl, what you will do :barf: for a few days to wallow the bed! LOL I am soooo far away you can't hit me! :rollpin: No joke, we hope your up and feeling in the pink again soon. :belly: So sorry you had this to happen!

Toni, you are doing great with getting in your walking. Wish I could say the same. Here comes the weekend, be careful. Let's give it our best shot.

Peggy, I have only heard horror stories about the Ali. Just stay close to a bathroom, or maybe even safer, where depends!! Glad your strep and ear infection is getting better.

Ashley, wow, what a whirlwind you have had. Glad you are on the mend and hope you are back to your old self again soon. Now you can post here more since you can't do a lot at home.

Meowee, we had a bad storm last ngiht and expecting storms all day tomorrow. I hate that for the weekend.

Petra, :wave: Have a great weekend.

I am happy to report Rudy is getting better. He still will not walk in the morning. This morning I had to trick him and keep turning around but we got half a walk in. Hopefully by Monday he will be ready to go again. It is really killing me not getting to walk and it is too hot at night. We have a birthday party this Sunday for my great nephew. I overdid at Texas Roadhouse last night and was miserable all night. I really had a big revalation and have decided that whenver we eat out and this includes our vacation I am splitting an entree. I only have 2 weeks until vacation and I wanted to be down 10 lbs. I doubt that is going to happen, but I have 2 pair of pants that are tight in the butt that I would like to wear. So I see a lot of lunges and walking in my future.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, :hug:

Hello Friends :hug: !

Solly~~So glad Rudy is some better! I am taking my three dogs with me to TN this weekend but no worry I will most likely be the one that comes back traumatized! Thanks for the good thoughts on getting over the strep and ear infections. It is all but gone! So far the Alli has done nothing to the gastric system other than having to go about within an hour of eating. But other than timing all has been ok. I'll let you know if it turns bad, I think we need to keep each ohter informed on things like this.

We are off to the cabin in the morning and to see the RV we are considering buying. It looks promising in the pictures! We have discussed this for 10 yrs and have finally decided we ARE going to try the RV way of life as often as we can! I may not be back until Tuesday online so I hope you all have great weekends!

Happy friday, everyone! just a quick hello to all of you! I have been mia due to frantically preparing to open my office next week! Will be back later this weekend to catch up with everyone!

This is not shaping up top be a good day . . . another humid and rainy one and I have a weather-induced migraine, swollen ankles, high blood sugar,and an extra 1.5 pounds to show for it (oh, and a couple of days of not exactly stellar eating :lol: have probably had a little to do with some of that). :mad:

Oh wow . . . I'm talking to myself . . . :lol:

Hi all- Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I have been running all over the place with doctor appointments and physical therapy for Gable. She still can't drive with her leg yet, so I'm back to chaufering her around. I just wanted to say hi to everyone !!
:wave:toni,peggy,ashley,gym,solly,meowee,dtrmnd,bo b,mercee,petra,heartmom and bunnyb. I miss you all and wish I could post personals, but I just can't stay in one place too long. I may need another surgery, so I'm feeling a bit frustrated too. I've been doing pretty well OP. I did have a few cheat days this past week due to my frustration level with not healing properly. I used food as an excuse to be mad at the world. Threw my own little pity party. Thank goodness the scales didn't reflect it, but I probably would have lost some weight instead of staying the same. Well, the pity party's over and I'm back on track. This should be the least of my problems in life.
I probably won't be on again for awhile. I have 2 crazy weeks coming up. I hope you are all doing well, and healing well, Ashley. Hang tough, ladies. Life is one rollercoaster ride, isn't it?
Much love to all,
Chris

This is just a fast one too. We've had the busiest week end. Friday we did our grocery shopping for the month. To much for me I just want to do it for a couple weeks at a time. Oh well we're stocked in. Yesterday we had to go out of town. Which ended up a nice day. So we've been running. The week end is going so fast. Sorry I don't have time for replies but I need to cook breakfast. Have a happy day.

just saying hello. Eating was awful last week..but the plan this week is to be 100 perfect all week..lets see...have a good week everyon!

Good Morning . . . :grouphug:

Yesterday worked out well for me -- the headache seems to have become a thing of the past this morning and I finally got rid of the water weight and got back to my 214.5 weight again. That gives me an average for June of 218.8 or another 3 pounds sent to ugly-pound-heaven. :yay: Of course, changing scales probably had a lot to do with it, but I've changed my ticker to reflect a new and lower decade at long last; so I really don't care how I got there, I'm claiming it. :D

Looks like we are going to get some "sunny breaks" today to make life worthwhile for all of those who booked off for a four day weekend. Officially, our Canada Day holiday is tomorrow, July 1. It is supposed to stay pretty sticky though and think I'll be sticking close to home and doing the exercising on the Gazelle again.

Hope everybody has a great Monday and decent weather for whatever you have planned. See you later . . . :wave:

Man, I just lost my post.

Guess I will start over. Started my morning off with a cervical epidural. I really needed one for my back but will get that next Monday so it is closer to we leave for Florida and will help riding in the car. Weekend was so-so. I have been in a funk since Friday. I think it is "man" induced. I need to shake it soon.

Meowee, Glad your headache and water wt have gone. I deal with the water every Monday. I have to take 3 diuretics each day and it is hard on the weekend with all our running so Monday's the scale really reflects it.

Toni, How was your grocery shopping? I went yesterday and really didn't think I needed that much. Thought the bill would be around $170.00. Ha, it was $305.00. Betweent he cost of gas and rising food costs, I don't know what we are going to do.

Gym, ok, I am going to check on you every day to see if you are 100%OP. You can do it!

Chris, sorry to hear you may need another surgery. I would have been inthe food long ago. Glad your DD is getting better.

Michele, glad you posted. Good luck with your new office. Come back soon.

Ashley, Glad you are seeing some improvement. My dad had one of those "picker-uppers" they work great. I love the Agave. It is great in "Deb's cheesecake" recipe on the board. It is a lot like honey but sweeter. I can only find it at Whole Foods.

Peggy, Wow an RV. How fun. 30 years ago, me & my best friend planned our life of pushing our baby strollers around the mall and driving around all over in an RV with the husbands driving and us in the back making strawberry dacqeries (sp). Funny how life turned out. We both work full time, she had kids later in life and we do not own an RV. Hope it worked out. Enjoy.

Better get some work done. Got to get lots accomplished to leave on vacation in 2 weeks. Have a great day. See you tomorrow.

Good Monday morning. The week end just seemed to fly by. My Army son is stopping by tomorrow evening for a quick over night visit. It will be so good to see him. But I was disappointed when I found out how short his visit will be. So I've got to some things to get ready.

Solly-I know how that goes grocery shopping. We spent a bundle. Monday means back on the treadmill today. Where are you going on vacation.

meowee- I'm glad for you the headache is gone. Hope your week goes well for you.

Gym- Have a good week. Are you moved yet?

Chris- I hope you don't need another surgery. Hope Gable is healing well.

Ok off I go. Talk more later.
