Good Monday Morning California!!!

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it!  Wow!  I can't believe you lost 230 lbs!!!  Wow!  that's all of me!  lol  Awesome! I have learned a lot. I just need to be more diligent about putting what I learned into practice!   I know I have some bad habits of emotional eating, bordom eating.........all of that.  I try to stop and ask myself, "ok, am I really hungry?  and is it a healthy thing to eat?"  It's really hard! I know that I can always come here for friendship, kind words and support and for that I am truly greatful! Thanks again!  Jeni

Good morning Jeni and crew This weekend was quiet for me - stayed around the house, took a few walks (me-walking-enjoying it - I can't believe it) and generally had a me weekend (but wait, I am single with no kids so everyday is a me day...lol) Today is nails and toes day - my pamper me day and I like to say- then maybe take my friend that had surgery last week to lunch since she can't drive yet. I did have a nice WOW yesterday.  As I was on my way back home from my walk I saw one of my neighbors and she said "oh my gosh look at you - how much have you lost now?"  THen she told me that I looked almost skinny.  And when I toldher I wanted to lose 50 more lbs she said oh no that is to much.  Well to be called almost skinny was a weird thing (now it would have been nice to have the "almost" left out of the statement but thats ok, any time the word skinny and me are in the same statement it blows my mind.) Janine - glad you had fun in Vegas....I can't wait till I go in August.  we are seeing Cher and also Air Supply...just got the Air Supply tickets yesterday and we are in the center section, 3rd row so the seats sound pretty darn good.  Jeni - make the appt - like the Janine said - that way you won't have to wait any longer than needed. Lu - so sorry you have had to work so much...make sure you take care of YOU tomorrow - have some fun and get some rest. So thats it for me gang...time to finish my morning protein and get my day started... Hugs to all and have a great week.

hi there ms almost skinny!! LOL... hey, can you join us for kayaking on Friday morning?? Would be fun to get our "almost skinny" butts in a kayak and go out on the water, eh?

Hey girlfriend...You know I thought about it but I still worry that I will sink the kayak....what is the weight limit on those things.....and on a friday the 13th no less.....but I am thinking about it....how much does it cost?  But I am seriously thinking about it but what if I can't paddle the thing and get stuck out in the bay...I guess I could swim back to shore huh?  It definitely sounds interesting and fun....one of my girlfriends has been bugging me to go kayaking with her for a few years now and I never would cause I was to big....so you think I would fit now?   Exactly where is the place- I will seriously think about it...

OMG you would SOOO fit.  I went year ago (when I weighed like 300) so ummm yeah you'll be fine and FUN to.  Besides I was born on a Friday the 13th, so no worries, just think of me =) Ms Shell

LOL...I see that you are seriously thinking about it!!

Good morning California! This is my first daily post. I feel like I know you all since I have been reading forever, but you don't know me. I spent the weekend doing kid stuff. I have three girls. They had their first swim meet on saturday. It was HOT, but they had fun. We spent yesterday at a friends house by the pool. Another HOT day. I was supposed to be studying for my final. As of 11 today, I will be halfway through nursing school! Yea! I can't wait for a break. I am less than 2 weeks away from surgery. I am going to focus on getting in as much protein and as little carbs as possible. I can't believe how it is sneaking up on me! Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning Jeni and Cali, We had a busy weekend going to bakersfield for the day for a baby shower.  then lots of errands on sunday.  Jordyn is getting much better about the car.  I'm so glad because I hope to take a couple of rides this summer.  Not much though with the price of gas. Lots of rushing around this morning so I'm posting from work Everyone enjoy the day Monica

Morning Jeni and Cali!! I had a crazy busy weekend I need some rest I feel like I've been going nonstop since Friday night and up early the next morning to help my sister with a fun raiser,, then up late Saturday night again,,, up early Sunday morning took my car in spent way to much money on getting my car fixed up but I do so much driving I needed it ,,, I was going to take the week off  but I was getting emotional already when my daughter graduates on Thursday so I decided to work today and Wednesday so I'll still have a 4 day weekend  from Thursday to Sunday ,,, I feel overwhelmed already ,,, Well have a great day ,,, Wating for the sun to come out to get warmed up ,,, hahaha *Christine*

Good Morning- I have had my fair share of excitement this weekend.  Thursday was court and although it didn't go as expected (he received 16 months with time served for false imprisionment and contributing to minors) then he threated me in court along with my ex-best friend (his wife).  I have already spoke with the local police department and the officer has made an addendum to the report for the DA.  I am to call the police right a way if something happens to either me or my family.  There are just to many crazy people in this world.  She has also been approved for an apartment right across the street from mine, which I also told the officer about.   Got my husband's unemployment paperwork done.  His is very quite these days, and that is not like him at all.  Now he has to wait for the paperwork to come in the mail which will be in the next 10 days, and then hopefully we will know the amount that he is entitled too.   The stimulus check is due to get here the first week in July so that will help until we get the unemployment.  Other then that (which is enough to deal with) I also had the usual, grocerey shopping, laundry (8 loads), and the farmers market on Sunday.  On Sunday I went for a long walk, needed the time by myself and bought my strawberries, apples, cantelope, and tomatoes.  Now I am back at work with so much to do I am overwhelmed, but I am thankful that I have a job and that it is union.  I have to get back to it.  Have a great day everyone, and remember if things in your life get you down, look on the positive side !
