Hi Ladies...Not much going on today. Went and saw the movie "CARS" this afternoon. Real cute movie. Helped the little gal that is staying with us do some machine embroidery this morning. she sewed out a turtle on a baby bid she is making. Between helping her, I pressed the kids together with their clothes. I need to do about 90 of them.
Check in tomorrow and see how everyone is doing.
Hi gang . . . I'm still out here and I'm still suffering although things are not quite as bad as they were at the end of the week.
What little time I can stand to look at the computer screen, I've pretty well been spending on the 'work project'. Why does everything always happen at once.
anyway, keep on moving and shaking, folks, and I'll see you soon.
Linda...Glad to hear you are feeling a little better. Sorry your head is still pounding. Get better real soon! Not much going on here, trying to stay warm. Had to turn the furance on this afternoon when I got home from church.
I haven't done much of anything today except take a nap.
Not a good report from my doctor (soon to be my ex-doctor, btw)
So I had to have biopsies and those hurt and it all just was upsetting. I'm embarrassed by all the crap that has been going on in my life the past couple years - I feel like people think I'm making this up there is so much (I *WISH* I was making it up!!!)
Now just waiting for the results of the biopsies.
I did my DVD workout this AM and trying to keep that at least a constant in all this chaos. No weight loss this week but no gain either.
Hope others here are doing OK and seeing some sucess with their programs
LINDA:Sure hope your headache has eased off or given up completely.
CHERYL: You had to turn the furnace on??? Wow it must be cold. Know we had a lovely weekend,only in the 70's. Today started out cool,but the sun is out now.
HY:Sorry to hear you had to have biopsies and that they hurt. You have every right to be upset. We are here for you, so go ahead and get off. You have had your share these last few weeks. Hopefully the exercise will help keep your mind off of things for a little while. I'm praying for you to have a swift recovery from all of this. Keep posting it helps to vent.
Have had carpet layers here in the office this morning,trying to fix mistakes they made.Now if we can get the electrician back to finish with call lights and the plumber back to finish some things in the bathroom we might be able to get ready for our open house on the 30th. Want to use a patriotic
theme since it is so close to the 4th. Will have to get some decorations
purchased and make up some flower arrangements.
Hope all are having a good day. Will check back in tomorrow. DONNA
Well gang . . . thanks to all your good wishes I think I'm mostly back to normal again. . . or at least as 'normal' as I ever get . . .
Cheryl . . . I know exactly what you mean. It has been 'furnace' cold here, too. The sun finally came out late this afternoon and so far so good.
Hy . . . So sorry about all the doctor-related problems, chickie. Congratulations on sticking with the exercise. I'm impressed. That's the first thing that goes into limbo when I feel lousy . . . either physically or emotionally.
Donna . . . Good Luck getting those little carpet and electrical problems taken care of. Have a great "Open House". Hope it's lots of fun.
Not too much going on for me . . . I've been trying to keep a low profile to give the head time to catch up with itself. Have done a little bit of beading and a little bit more than a little bit of work-project stuff. Nothing too tiring, though.
Well, I'll see you tomorrow gang, all things being equal. Keep moving and shaking and doing the right stuff as much as you can.
Hy...So sorry to hear you did not have a good report from the doctor and you had to have a biospy and it was painfull. Please know that I will keep you in my prayers and we are here for you to vent.
Linda...Glad to hear your head feels a little better. Yes, it's been cold, but today we were in the 70's and by Wednesday, we will be 86. I just like a happy medium of 75 with a slight breeze.
Donna...Hope you get the carpet and electrical work done in time for your open house.
Well ladies, I haven't done much of anything today except go to town early this morning to have some papers faxed and pick up bread from the bread store. Had a little tiff with my foster daughter, which always stresses me out, but I didn't cave and hit the frig. I need to get back out and start mowing again tomorrow. Just a good workout is how I look at it.
Nova Scotia is having a very nice morning. Sunny and nice coolish temperatures. It can stay this way for a long, long time as far as I'm concerned.
Cheryl . . . so sorry to hear about the little problem with the foster-daughter but congratulations on staying away from the comfort food, girl. Be proud of yourself, that's a great NSV.
Not too much happening in my world. Lots of work-related stuff, no doubt, and hopefully a little crafting time squeezed in. Other than that, hopefully I'll just keep moving and shaking along with the rest of you.
Have a great day, gang. Hope to see you really soon.
HI Everyone, It's a nice, cool day here in Michigan. It's been really crazy this last week. I've had the heat one one day, air conditioner the next! Just wish it would make up it's mind!!! I'm sure the weather will be so warm soon that i'll be complaining about that too. I took my GS to school this morning (last day this year) and went walking in the mall. So got that out of the way. Did my weights yesterday so i'm pretty well on target!
Linda, Hope you're feeling better! It's hard to concentrate on anything if you'r feeling lousey!
Hi, I'm so sorry that you've been having such a hard time, medically. I'm sending out good vibes and prayers that everything turns out ok! I've got to hand it to you girl, if you can stay on a diet through all this, you GOOD!
Cheryl, Good for you for handling the tiff with FD so well! I am a stress eater and have to really work on not eating then. You'e an inspiration!
Donna, Hope everything comes together soon and everything gets done by the 4'th!
Hi Freda . . . good going with the exercise. Sounds like you are having much the same kind of weather as we are. We've definitely lost the sunshine again, too.
I'm feeling pretty sunny on the inside though . . . the Fairy-Fat-Mother visited last night and took away another 1.8 ugly pounds . . . yippee.
Tomorrow I should learn the biopsy results and then (well actually either/or) I need to start thinking about how to pursue all of this. If the biopsy is OK, I still have a out-of-whack thyroid. I think you have to encounter a lot of medical prejudice when it comes to the thyroid too, especially women. Well I'll let everyone know how it goes.
I've been doing my 30 mins of yoga each morning - the Walk Away the Pounds program I just am not getting to
Not giving up on it tho...I'll try to incorporate it into my schedule next week - my goal being to do the yoga first thing in the AM and the WATP mid-morning or early afternoon.
Oh, btw, I don't mean there's anything wrong with the WATP video - I just haven't seemed to be able to fit into my schedule as of yet. My problem, not the DVD's
(Also, I can't handle any exercise at night - it makes me stay wake and I just toss and turn all night!! Wierd. So I need to find a good daytime schedule to do the WATP)
Congrats on the pounds lost - you know who you are!!! Woohoo!!!
LOL-ing about the need for the furnace - eek!! As you know, here in AZ we have a natural furnace right now called the HOT, blazing sun !!! :-)

Biopsy results "Inconclusive"...I'm really thinking that is akin to a scam on some level and wonder how many unneccesary biopsies are performed by this "doctor"!!! Of course his office was all ready to do a carotid (sp?) US on me this morning as soon as I walked in the door- huh??? I said no way, I was there just to hear the test results for my THYROID.
I did drag my husband in with me today for the test results consultation and wowee - his presense made a big difference. Well, that was kind of a no=brainer and why I insisted he go along this time. Anyway, my husband said even with the endo on his "good behavior" for my husband's benefit today, this guy was still, in my DH's words, "An odd duck" - LOL- no kidding!!
I'm not even going to bore you/raise your BP several points by telling you his unsolicited comments about how I should be controlling my portion sizes, exercising, low carb is bad and blah, blah, blah. How ignorant First I didn't ask him and second, if he'd taken the time to ask me what I was doing, he would know I already watch what I eat and exercise and have done so for years.
So as a friend pointed out, I know pretty much what I did 4 months ago - nothing!! Well I do know not to be lead down a cash cow path by a doctor that I truly believe has a manic/depressive disorder and just plain sucks as a MD, let alone a board-certified specialist. And I'm pretty sure his wife hates him, if he has one. Hehe.
Yes, I DO feel better now - lol!! Thanks for the opportunity to vent. I see my regular MD next Tues, he knows me and how hard I've worked over the years with my weight so at least that appointment will be helpful.
I've lost a pound this week and I did my yoga tape this morning first thing, so staying with the program.
And that's the news -somewhat confusing, but *I* think my thyroid nodule is just fine once I read the path report myself...Dr.Hy
Linda...WOW! Yippie for you! Now don't you be hogging that fairy fat mother, you hear!
Freda...We have had the same kind of weather as you. Heat on one day and air conditioner the next. Got the air on tonight, hot and muggy here!
I'm such a stress eater, but I don't have any good junk food in the house, cuz if I did, it would be gone!!
Hy...Bravo for doing your workout's, that's AWESOME. I have slacked off a bit except for mowing the yard, and that's a workout in it's self.
Hy, get a new doctor!!! Congrats on the 1 pound the fairy fat mother took away. Nice that Linda is sharing her with you.
Well gals, it's been a very stressful week and good thing I don't have any goodies in the house except for fruits and veggie, cuz I would be grazing big time!!
Got a very busy weekend ahead. Our car club has it's big show this weekend, so I will be working tomorrow night and all day Saturday. I just hope the weather stays nice, but not too hot.
On the weight loss adventure, WW said I loss 1.8 pounds, but my scales said I stayed the same. So, I'm keeping my ticker where it is at. I'll try to get back and check in with you all tomorrow.
Hi girls, it's taken me awhile to get back to you. It is cloudy and muggy here today. Jumped on the treadmill as soon as I got to work this morning
so now I have that done for the day. We are traveling tomorrow to help
some friends celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Will really have to
watch the goodies,but know you are all looking over my shoulder so I'll try to be good.
HY: Where did you find this so called doctor? Doesn't sound like he has helped you at all,even had the nerve to insult you.Boy I'd get rid of him.
Hope we can help by being here for you.You have every right to vent.
Good luck this week. I'm so proud of you for keeping up your yoga and losing a pound.The fairy fat mother is keeping her eye on you.If you see her would you send her my way I just can't break this slump I'm in.
CHERYL: Keep up the good work. At least you don't have any of those bad
goodies in the house to turn to.It's just so easy to turn to food when your
life seems to be going in circles.
FREDA: It's good to hear from you again.
LINDA: You have to share the fairy fat mother. She just isn't making the
rounds as fast as I'd like her too.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.Did you get your Father's Day
shopping done? My husband and I don't do MD or FD for each other and my
Dad has been gone for 5 years. DH's Dad just had his birthday so we took
care of FD at the same time.
Talk to you next week,just maybe the ffm will find me this week
Not much going on here, trying to stay warm. Had to turn the furance on this afternoon when I got home from church.
off. You have had your share these last few weeks. Hopefully the exercise will help keep your mind off of things for a little while. I'm praying for you to have a swift recovery from all of this. Keep posting it helps to vent.
Woohoo!!!
First I didn't ask him and second, if he'd taken the time to ask me what I was doing, he would know I already watch what I eat and exercise and have done so for years.
so I'll try to be good.
I just can't break this slump I'm in.
