where is everyone??????

ok everyone, here's a quick update on Kim's dad. Basically there has been little change over the last few days. He came thru surgery pretty well and seemed to improve the next morning. He was trying to talk to Kim and seemed much better. By the second day after surgery he was no longer lucid and has since started being combative. They have had to restrain him so he wont pull out tubes or iv's. They are trying to get him moved to a different hospital and put under the care of his regular doctors. They just really don't know what the problem is at this point. We are all praying here and would appreciate it if you could say a little prayer for him as well.


I hope everyone is doing well with their respective diets and exercise programs. Things here are plugging right along for me. I havent weighed in in almost 2 weeks. I started my period the day before my usual weigh in and I just stopped bleeding on Saturday.. geez.. being a girl sucks sometimes lol. I'm hoping for just a small loss this week and I'll get back to full force trying again on Monday. (tomorrow is my weigh in day)
I'll try to keep everyone up to date, but information is few and far between on Kim's dad.

Hey chickas...

Kim, please let Kim know that we are praying for her. We all love and miss her. How are you by the way? Are you still walking everyday?

Diane, how is weight watchers coming along? Your first weigh in is soon, isnt it? Do you like WW?

Ok, today I am TOTALLY back on the wagon. Nic is back to work. Poor thing, a year ago, he gave a damn about this job. He cared about it. He took pride in it. Now, he is so unhappy with it. Its an awful job. Hes so stressed. I just feel for him. He got a call back from the embassy about a job there. The closing date for it is on the 25th, so he should hear something by then. That means, he wouldnt even have to sign another contract with Dyncorp. Dyncorp is blacklisted from all the banks here and even the phone company for not paying their bills. They let people leave the country without paying their loans. Other companies here require that the person have an exit letter from them before they leave the country. It prevents the unpaid loans. So, now we can get a loan to get a car. If we're going to be here long term, he needs a company that will allow us to do so.

Sorry for babbling. Ill be ok. I promise.

Now as for the rest of you chicks...where are you? Im so mad at y'all. I need your support!!

Love,
Deanne

Diane...Im sure your weigh in will be fine. WW has taught me alot about portion control too. I've realized that I dont have to supersize it to get full. Its crazy to see how much I would overeat in the past. Its also crazy to see that a small amount of food can fill you up.

I just got finished adding pictures to my site. There some of the new kitty. Its http://munozchick.tripod.com

Ok, Im going to go eat lunch now...

Love,
Deanne

Ok just a quick note to post my loss for the week.. 2lbs.. whew.. i was worried there for a while.. thought i had hit a plateau or something lol

Deanne, i'm still walking.. well ok i just restarted walking. I took the week off hoping to just go again when Kim could. i feel badly going without her since it was her idea to start in the first place. But I'm gonna go again this morning ( i went yesterday with the hubby) and hopefully she will be able to pick up when things calm down for her. I'll tell her you guys are thinking and praying for her when i talk to her later on today..I dont have any updates, i'm not sure there are any at this point in the day. I'll post as soon as I get some information

HI GANG!
Yesterday I went to my moms and ate alot. I'm back on track today. I would like to weigh in but I'm so afraid!! I'll wait till next week... sigh..
I'm waiting test results for Jamie, I'm hoping everything shows up clear. Now that she is home she wants to get a job but she is still sooo exhausted from what ever she has.
I still alot of boxes to go through and sort.
My mothers friend got a cute lil yorkie. I want one!! Jim said nooooo. Dakota would eat the poor doggie. I have time to work on him by my birthday... ((wink))

I hope Kim's dad is ok. Please tell that I'm thinking of her she must be a wreck.

Diane I'm thinking of going to actual meetings. I'm doing wwers online, but I feel more accountable when I attended a real life meeting. I have my OA meeting tonight. I really enjoy it.
post latah....

Congrats Kim!! I gained a pound and a half. Im not worried about it though. Im going to try to eat 22 points each day all week. I just want to see how much I lose if I stick to it 100 %.

Kim, Im proud of you for walking. Thats awesome that your hubby went! I hate walking by myself. Its just very lonely. Im sure you miss Kim, dont you? I do

Ok, Im eating a lean cuisine...its SOOO good. Im about to go get some arabic books to brush up on my arabic. Then, its clean up time around this house. I hate living with all men. I swear they wouldnt know what a broom was if it was up their...well, nevermind. Lets just leave it at that.

Ok, Ill talk to yall later...

Love,
Deanne

Yay Lynn! How are ya girl? I hope Jamies test comes back clear. It sounds like she feels a little better since she wants to get a job. Dont let her over do it.
I wish I had meetings here. It would be nice to have the accountability. I use Nic as my accountability for now. I get embarressed when I fall off of the wagon. For some reason, I feel that Im disappointing him. It actually helps. Hes totally supportive though.
Lynn, If Jim can have the mercedes...you can have a yorkie

Love,
Deanne

LOL Deanne, I never thought of that!! Yes, he got that damn car. I want a yorkie.. good point ( writing that down) LOL

I do much better when I go to meetings. I guess when someone else is weighing you.... plus I'm paying for it.. so I feel I HAVE to do it...

well I have a ton of phone calls to make... and get my rear in gear.. start my day..
stay healthy everyone.. you vixens are always in my thoughts..

Yeah I miss Kim, I'm used to having someone to vent on every morning. Its nice to have a girl friend to talk to. I'm not really used to that. I never had a lot of girl friends.. i tended to hang out with guys growing up and even into my mid twenties. After a while though I just couldnt put up with their stupid **** lol. Guys are fun once in a while, but dang why do they have to be such pains in the ***?? That and I think the hubby was tired of having a bunch of dudes hanging around the house lol. He was always kewl with me having guy friends.. as long as he knew the guy and trusted him..otherwise all bets were off and he got all territorial lol. Dont blame him, if i didnt like someone he hung out with I'd have to pee a circle around him too LOL great visual huh!!
Well the hubby is off work this week so I have to help him work around here a bit... woo hoo.. go me lol

Lynn-Thats what Im here for girl...to help you out. We gotta stick together

Kim- You are on a roll tonight!!! I always hung out with guys too. I didn't get along with girls my age at all. I had 2 girlfriends, the rest were guys. And yes, they are pains in the ***. I think its in their nature. Nic is a pain in my *** but i love him. Hehe...Im a pain in his too Im sure.

Lets see, its 7pm and I need to eat dinner soon. Nic gets home at 10pm so Ill probably eat then. For now, Im watching CSI season 3.

Love,
Deanne
