Sunday Check In
Thanks Cindy,
My boys, co-workers and many friends gave up Sunday and part of Monday and we got most everything cleaned up. We have alot of fences to repair along with repairs on the storage building, barn and my ILS live on our property, they have lots of structural damage. We are all so thankful to be ok that the repairs just don't matter! I had my 3 week old grandbaby with me and there was no warning at all....I have a storm cellar but did not have any warning before hand. Thanks for your prayers.

I cannot imagine living with tornados . I will take earthquakes anyday. I went threw a hurricane in florida and No Thanks. Earthquakes is nothing u can do but when it does u r thinking wow guess i better duck under something. The last Earthquake I was in was last summer when my Daughter was in ICU after her open heart surgery and the building was on rollars and we just rode it out in the most state of art building made to substand a 8.0 earthquake. I would have no idea how to prepare for a tornado. The nurse that was our ICU nurse at the time said this was her first earthquake she had every experienced and said u know I grew up with torados and they are alot more scarier than a earthquakeS, I said yeah over and done with in seconds. Lot less annxiety and u can feel them comming on we just stood over my daughters bed to make sure nothing would come down from ceiling on top of her. We just heard the oxygen bottles tip over in utility room next door. I been threw severeal major earthquakes . and nothing was more scarrier than that hurricane that hit near us in florida . Spoken like a true californian I will take the shake rattles and rolls . So glad you are safe so glad wow that was to close for comfort I bet u r thinking,, and with a grandbaby????? yikes... so so glad u guys are safe..

Hello everyone! Didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I'm here today! Hey Shar... how do you find out about the conferences and where they are being held? Would be nice to attend one if it's nearby.
Cindy I'm happy you found someone special! And I will be praying you gain a few more pounds.
I'm doing ok... I've been trying to eat better but find I tend to munch way too much at night. Need to cut that out! For a long time I would float in between 135 & 140... now I seem to float in between 140 & 145. That scares me at how it slowly creeps up on you. I'm hoping to get back down to 135 which was a really good weight for me. But I'm just not sure how to do it... even when I eat right my tummy feels so bloated and puffy and sticks out. It's weird. If I didn't know any better I'd think I was pregnant but hubby had a vasectomy so that's not possible (at least I don't think).
I have always shyed away from exercise which is exactly what I need to be doing. I think I could actually shed these 10 pounds if I was just diligent about excercising. ::::sigh:::
Praying for more motivation to exercise on a daily basis!
DOS: 247
current weight: 143
Goal: 135

Welcome back to some of you. You have been missed and I am sure have some things to add.
My weight is a bit down. I have been making better choices. However, I had a large finals race this weekend and have to admit I really overindulged Saturday night. Not with food-it was tequila! I have been very diligent and have not drank in a 2 1/2 years. Sure is weird how alcohol affects us after surgery.
I am glad that some of us are finding happiness. We need to keep ourselves open to all of life's possibilities.
Status-hanging in there!

Strangely I have the complete opposite effect when I drink. When I first start to drink it effects me right away... I get a little bubbly in the head. But then it quickly wears off and then nothing. I mean I can drink like 6 beers and it hardly effects me. Of course I don't do that very often.... I try to keep it to only 2 beers or 2 glasses of wine when I drink socially (which isn't very often). I stay away from mixed drinks like daquiris because of the sugar in them. I kinda wish the bubbly feeling would last a bit longer on only one drink. That would be less calories than having 2 or 3 drinks! lol
