Topic: RE: saturday-again!
We left early Thursday morning to drive to NC to spend the holiday with friends.  Had a wonderful dinner, though Iwas starving when we go there about 1:30 and they had some snacks (mostly healthy) out and of course by the time we sat down to dinner at 2:30 I had no appetite for dinner.   I took a little bit, but didn't eat it all.

We spent Friday at Lowes Motor Speedway in Concord NC, shopping the sovenier blow out sale and driving my truck on the track.   Did make a stop in a super Walmart late in the afternoon because it was there and I needed to restock my instant drink 'sticks' (crystal light, ocean spray and wally world store brand).

Got up this morning, had one stop to make before we hit the road and sarted home about 10:45.   We got back to town in time to meet friends for dinner at 6 without stopping by the house first.  Finally got home about 8 p.m.

Tomorrow, my plan is to be LAZY!   sleep in and do absolutely nothing .. not sure that will happen but it's a plan.

Hugs, Mo

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

I have been trying to stay off of my foot to see if it would be better when I go back to work next week. My daughter in law cooked dinner Thursday. So I've not been out much.
My sister and her husband have gone on a trip . they left yesterday and are coming back next Friday. I'm keeping her "childen"  a dog , a cat , and a sugar glider. Have you ever heard of a sugar glider?  This thing is new to Georgia. She's had it a little over a week. It weighs 3 oz. It's between a flying squirl, a rat and a bat!!  She has been keeping her in a bird cage, but she's figured how to get out.  Today my husband opened the bathroom door and she was running around , she climbed the shower curtain and jumped from there over to a house plant I have in there. He tried to catch her and she ran up his arm and across his back and jumped over to the shower curtain again! He is not an animal person and he said we're going to get a cage this thing can't  get out of. So we drove 40 miles and got a cage for a rat.  So far she can't get out of it.  It's going to be a long week.
He just ask me what I was writing and I told I was writing one of my friends on Obesity Help and he said did I tell you we had eaten like pigs this week?  I told him I would, but we are going to do better. He's 6'4" and he's not really fat. If I was a foot taller I wouldn't be fat!!
I have not done any decorating for Christmas yet, it has rained here all day today, so I guess I'll do it next week. I'm not going to do much.
Have a good day.   Judy

God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good. Today is very imporant, because I'm exchaning a day of my life for it.

ok- the holiday is past and i pray that it was good for all of our marchers...

what are your plans for the rest of the weekend???

we have been freecycling and i must say there are some wonderful folks out there!

i just spent a few hours re-lighting a huge wreath that our neighbor gave us a few winters ago-and then made a bow- michael has it hung on the peak of our house and it looks great!!! i need to attack some boxes in the basement to try to find the velvet bows for my lighted sawg for the front fence--it is chilly out but sunny and today would probly be the day to put the lights if i am going to! last year we didn't decorate at all.....

have been in geneaology land again and found Revolutionary War Ptariot # 13 and # 14 !!!! it is exciting to me to read about these folks and what their lives were like as well as their contributions to our country!!!

we have done everything in our power to stay out of the stores this weekend....


what are your plans?????????????????????/

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

tomorrow i am buying extra vitamin D i have cramps in my legs like you would not believe. it all fell apart this past august.
i'm back on the eating right band wagon in sept but i've felt awful for the past 3 months. i sure do hope i feel better soon.
in the past 3 weeks i had blood work done and believe me when i get home i'm checking to see if the D was checked, if not Im' going to have them run that test ASAP
any other things i should ask for?
i want me back. i'll even be happy with the extra weight i've gained if i could jsut feel like me again.

I am visiting family in Nh who unlike me have a working computer! its been so much fun going to different web sites that i've not seen in weeks due to a broken computer. sigh its so nice to see technology again!
hopefully i will be up and running in the next week at home as I miss this so much. I can check emails at work in the early morning so will look forward to any responces.
I have been ill.
In august I was extremely stupid and used laxatives daily for a few weeks. ok so dont bother yelling i've heard it from everyone i know. it was stupid i'd never done that before and i do not plan on doing it ever again. i dont care if I havent gone in years I will never use a laxative again.
because of my stupidity with that plus I wasnt' eat as I should have I've messed myself up big time.
it started one mornning with shaking so very badly not being able to think clearly and then not being able to eat anything becuase i would dump along with the shakes. i stayed home for a day from work and said ok i've got to get my act together.
called the doctors was totally honest with them.
they did some blood work which was difficult to say the least when i had to not eat and not eating would bring on scarey stuff i really thought i was going to pass out. i was numb all over and not able to think shaking confusion. not fun very scarey.
the thought at this point is that i have the low blood sugar hypoglaxiema i can't spell worth beans. DR A my surgeron says that i shoudl get back to normal if i stick with what i'm suppose to do. In maybe 3 to 4 months!
i do not feel good.
i have to eat every 3 hours per the dietician. i had to add carbs to my diet which i had not been eating. i'm sticking with it but still in a cloud most times of confusion. able to work which is good need to to be able to pay the bills. but whew i get headaches too. Very tired too. its not fun.
i feel like such an idiot to have messed myself up like this.

i will say i feel alittle bit better. i can

mike- thank you for this post...

to borrow and alter your line
****I'm not tipping the scales at over 233 lbs.. I wish that I hadn't gained back the 30 lbs. from my low point, but I'm still so much better off than I was before March, 2004.

i am thankful to be employed even tho it is not a job that i enjoy-it is steady work and their paychecks don't bounce!

i am thankful to be healthy -especially without insurance

i am thankful to have the company of my hubby and our dogs and cat and birds

i am thankful for you guys to keep me honest

we are celebrating alone together today but will spend an early Christmas with my kids and grands.....


i am going to go knit some more- i am gifting hats and scarves to all of the grands for christmas- two more sets to make...and fringe to add......
