Today was going to be my day to sleep late. But!!! What is it they says about the best layed plans.
The alarm company for where my husband works called at 5 am and of course scared us to death. Of course we thought it was one of the kids. Not a great way to start the day. But maybe I can get some things done and out of the way early and be done with it before I go to meet my SRD pal.
Sherri We are meeting for lunch then we may window shop for awhile.
The meds I took yesterday did good.My poor bladder was actually hurting a little from emptying it so much. But my breathing is greatly improved. You've heard of being water logged? Well that was me.
Christie, I tried to call you for 3 days and I couldn't get thru. With your new thing I could not even leave a message. But I was thinking about you.
Looks like we may be getting more rain today. Wanted to swim laps but without sun pool has gotten on the cool side. And I do not like cold water. Maybe I will force myself to do a few minutes on treadmill. Have to get back to exercising some every day even if it is only for a few minutes.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
I think of you all often . Don't ever think just because I don't put your name here that I am not. You are my biggest supporters and the best friends anyone could ever want.

Just had to pop in and say a big ol howdy and hello to all you great Tops pals

Eleni- I hate that I missed your calls girl!!!! I have been thinking of you alot lately I wasnt home when you called , Jason has been on vacation so we have been busy with our house and shopping alot, Pleas keep trying, I am at work today though but after church tomorow I am here and all day Monday too K, Have a Super day visiting with your friend and I hope to hear from you soon!!

Oh I hate to run guys but I have just got to get ready for work before I am late, Know I am cheering you on and that YOU ARE ALL WINNERS!!!

Hi Eleni,

I am so glad that the meds the doctor gave you are working. At least you are getting rid of the extra water. That must be a relief. You must feel lighter already.

That is great that you have started to get back to some exercise. That is the right way to do it a little at a time. You go girl. I am sure you will have a loss this week.

Christie,

Do you have your house in order yet? I know how that can be. Have a great day at work. I am sure you are looking forward to your days off so you can clean some more at home. But you will be lonely this week with no jason while he is at work. At least you have a huge project so it will keep you busy and hopefully away from the food or the bad choices anyway.

I am doing great today. I am doing the ww and it is the first day in a long time that I am right on track with the points. I have counted everything today and doing great. I am going to have spaghetti for dinner so that isn't many points then I can have my popcorn later for a snack.

I am going to be working from home all week this week. So I should be able to do very well with the diet in that aspect and I don't have to eat out for lunch. I just hope I can get in all my hours here. I haven't done that in a while. My friend was going to watch megan on monday so I could go on the road but she is very sick today. I don't know if she is going to be feeling any better by monday. We will see. I don't want to drop her off if she is sick. She doesn't need the extra kid while not feeling good. I would rather stay home then do that to her. So it looks like I will be home all week unless I can line up someone else. I really like being on the road because I get more hours that way and I get to fill my tank of gas in my car also. So there are benefits to going out to work one day a week or even 2 days week.

I will talk to you all later. Nita how are you doing and alannah, summer and everyone else?

Hello all my TOPS friends,

I've been doing OK, but yesterday was an off day. Ate just about all carbs and literally felt sick and extremely tired. They weren't good carbs either. After I was done, all I could think about was that article....where the food doesn't unwrap itself....I am to fault. I felt so stupid for doing that to myself, but it's done, and I plan on being more alert.

Our chapter is having an Open House next week with the Round-Up theme that TOPS sent out to the leaders a couple of months ago. Members have been asked to bring in anything westerny that they may have to help decorate the room. I am making up a 'centerpiece' that will include a pair of old horseshoes, a bit, old railroad spikes, pr of spurs, horse statue and a cactus in a tin can. All will be in a bandana covered bottom lined with hay. I will also wear jeans, bandana and cowboy hat. Invited some old members and put it in the newspaper, so we will see what happens. Hope someone shows up. We are going to do the skit in the program and I get to be a 'badguy'....always wanted to be one of them!!!LOL

Our fall rally in Oct, that will be held 70 miles at a neighboring towns chapter, will also include the Western theme. I think we are getting ready for IRD next year which will be 'Weigh Out West'. The chapters that are going to that rally have been asked to bring a Western centerpiece or decoration to show their 'style'. Hope we get good participation. Next weeks rally that I need to also go to, which is a 400 mile round trip, will have a 'fall' theme. I'm dreading the drive and I will have to go the night before and get a hotel room. Hope the weather will be nice so I can take in some sightseeing. It will be in an area of the state I have never been to. I need all the motivation I can get and hope to return some to my members.

Eleni, I'm glad you are getting rid of that extra water. Yes, it sure does make breathing easier. Hope you are able to get on the treadmill. Think I will join you and get on my bike. I have been horrible about not doing it....and need to change that! Keep up your never giving up on you!!!!! Oh, can you or Sherri tell me how you get in to put your weights on the challange thread??? I want to join it but cannot figure out how you can update it every week. Anyone????

Sherri, Glad that you are doing better too and CONGRATS on your loss this week. I know you have really been trying. Sounds like you have a great plan set for this week. Since your sitter is sick, it might be wise to keep Megan home anyway so she doesn't get it and give it to you. It's getting to be that time of year again.....aahhh-choooooo

Christie, glad to hear from you and am especially happy to hear that you are only one pound shy of your goal. You are one smart lady not to let it get away from you, like a did a few years back. Keep on the right track girl!!!!

To everyone else not personally mentioned, you are in my thoughts just like the others said. We are in this together..don't forget to post so you can get, as well as give, support to everyone here. Life is so hectic that we tend to forget what is important....and we are....keep being kind to yourself and life will reward you. Take care......

TOPS HUGS,
Summer

All I do is bring the thread up and edit my original post

Hello All,

Just popped in to say I hope you are all having a good week-end. It's been a busy day (aren't they all?) but I've done well eating!!
Must go and get to bed.
