Hey everyone! I thought I would show myself in this thread as I always just seem to lurk around. As I mentioned in the Weigh In thread, I've been on a hiatus for the past few weeks, but I'm back OP now. I haven't been writing anything down, but I'm finding that it is a lot easier to make sensible decisions after being on WW for so long. Also, the gym I joined forever ago finally opened on Monday, and so far I've been 2 days in a row. Last night I did this Ballistic class, with those big exercise balls...that was an a** kicker! Susan, I can't believe you burned 781 calories in a single spin class...that's incredible! I've never been to one, but I've heard they are fantastic.

So my little pup Cleo gave both my husband and I quite the scare this past weekend. Long story short, she ate some Riddex (skunk and rodent poison) on Friday night. On Saturday she wasn't quite herself, but we figured it was just because she was up so late w/ us on Friday (a few friends were hanging out in the hot tub w/ Dave and I) well on Saturday night when Dave and I got home from a wedding, we noticed her poop was bright green. We immediately brought her in to the Emergency Vet (it was after 11PM) and the vet did some blood work. Well needless to say, little Miss Cleo is a very lucky girl. The Vet said that had we waited any longer she would've died. The poison was just starting to take effect. She's now on vitamin K treatments for the next 6 weeks, but our vet said she should be just fine. That was probably the most terrifying experiences ever. I'm just glad she's going to be okay. That little pup has been through so much in the 1 year of her life.

Anyway, that's what is going on with me. Hope everyone else is well.

Hi,

Well my little sister (Amy) just called. My dad is on the way to the hospital, actual he is there now. He went to the doctor yesterday for a check up and she called today and said "get to the hospital his blood count was way too low" So he is bleeding from someplace. She thinks it might be an ucler since he is on blood thinner medication and aspirin due to the stroke a while back. He will be getting blood tonight and then hopefully a gastro doc will come take care of the rest. If it's not one thing it's another.

I told my sister "I just can't come right now, Pat still needs me." He is still working from home still and is very sore. He is doing much better.

Chantal, Poor Cleo! She has really had a tough time. The spin class is so much fun!!! Time goes by fast and I enjoy it. I seem to burn a lot of calories everytime I do one. I'm going to another one tomorrow.

Tina, I laughed when you said "don't get too sore" because I'm not sore but I'm very tired. I actually thinking that it's all that has been going on.

I lost 2 pounds today. I lost what I gained last week so I'm now at 5.25. I wish it came off easy..... don't we all!

Maureen, our trip starts Sat. morning, and we will be home sometime on the 28th. We are all looking forward to it. Your trip to Ireland sounds wonderful!

Susan, thanks in advance for the fibro article. I saw another friend at Wal Mart today, and she said she has something for me too. Keep us posted on your dad and Pat!!

Tina, I have things on the dresser, dining room table and chairs, but I haven't put one thing in a suitcase yet! They are still in the cupboard in the garage, and I have to move things to get to them, and I've been waiting for Bob to do that. I guess I'll have to do it myself.

Chantal, that Cleo really has been through alot!!!!

Yesterday Melissa, Carol, and I went on a riverboat lunch cruise for Melissa's 50th b-day. Her daughter arranged it all as a surprise for her. We had a great time. I told Bob that I think we should do that sometime, and he said it sounded like fun. In fact, while we were on the cruise, we talked about all of us taking our hubbies, but we decided that they would probably want to sit at a different table or even be on another floor away from us!!!!

Hi,
Chantal, that is so scary about Cleo. Poor baby, she has had a hard time recently. And you have had a hard time worrying about her. I know that from experience.

Susan, please keep us up-to-date on your ailing family.

Tammy, do you make lists, too? That's what I used to do. Now I just wait until the last moment and throw things into the cases. :lol:
:flow1:

Hi,

They did an endoscope on Dad today and found nothing. So tomorrow they are going to do and colonoscopy. He had to have another unit of blood too. They have to find what it is SOON!!

Pat is much better! Still moving a little slow but beginning to get onry :) So I know he is feeling better.

Tina, i just throw things in the suit case. I use to stress but Pat said if you forget it, just go buy it. So now that is what I do.

Tomorrow is my first official day of work at the jewelry store (after I get my hair done of course.) I'm excited. I'll have to scope out the counters for else I want. Right now, I'll be working for awhile to get my watch and earrings. I'll let you know how it goes.

I used to make lists. Now I figure if I forget something, I'll just stop at Wal Mart somewhere. lol

Susan, have fun at the new job!!!

I just hope I don't put us in debt tomorrow :)

Susan, have fun tomorrow.
And, remember all your "good" friends here. We all want things, too.
:D

Susan, you can go in debt if you buy us something. That's allowed. I would like a nice ring. Nothing fancy of course. I wear an 8 or a 9 depending on the fibro days. Weird, huh?

Tammy, have a super fun time on your vacation!!!

:flow1:

Thanks Tina!!
Right now I am of the mind to stay home. Bob and Tim have already gotten into it about stupid things. Happens every time. Don't know what to say to them. It gets so frustrating. Maybe I'll just drink a bottle of wine and go to bed.

How is everyone doing today???
It's been raining here, on and off. At least it cooled things down a little.
This weekend is another "lost" one. It's Larry's birthday and Father's Day. I made pancakes this morning. Yummmmm.....

I did lose the pounds that I gained over my birthday weekend and our anniversary. I guess that's good because I'm sure I'll gain this weekend. At least that is the end of festivities for some time. :lol:

Maybe Tammy drank her bottle of wine and felt like going on the trip. :D

What's everyone doing this weekend?
:flow1:

Happy Monday--
I'm definitely ready to go somewhere away from all good and fattening foods. :o Larry's birthday/Father's Day yesterday almost did me in. I've got to just quit eating to lose what I gained.
No, I haven't gotten on the scales, I just feel bloated. :(

Susan, how was work?
Maureen, how is the bike?
I'm sure Tammy is having fun, at least if Tim and Bob aren't fighting.
Does anyone know if Dee has gone overseas yet?
Terry, how are you doing?
Chantal, how is our little Cleo doing????????

:flow1:

I seem to be the only person alive on the boards this week. :(:(:(

I've eaten way too much and need to get back OP.
Larry goes back to work on Monday. That's the day I start back exercising and eating correctly.
Oh, my dr. prescribed another dosage of Synthroid for me to try. The last was too much and made my heart race. So, we'll see if this is okay with my body and helps my metabolism at the same time.

It's lonely here all by my lonesome. hint..hint..hint

:flow1:

Hi Tina, how are you today? Well, I'm just fine, thank you for asking. :lol: :lol:
Like Tammy has done, I'm talking to myself here. hint..hint..hint.. I need someone to answer. :D

I've had a good day. Friends from out-of-town came in to spend the day. We ate some very healthy Italian food. However, tonight Larry wants burgers. Monday will be a day of healthy eating.
