Good Morning Janine.  I am so glad that you had so much fun..  Its nice that Jeff went with you all.  He is such an awesome guy.
Work for me today.  Friday will be Thursday for me Yay Yippee.  The plan is to go on 112 mile bike ride from here to Ventura.  Today before work it is to the bike shop to get a custom fit on my bike $$$.  I will go on the ride if I can kick this dang cold.  I have had a scratchy throat for about 4 days.  But yesterday it kicked in.  I have a husky man voice this morning and can feel it in my chest.  Oh well, maybe if I exercise a little more it will leave sooner. 

I have to tell you all I made a killer dinner last night.
I found this on an OH recipe board.
It is crock pot fajitas.  Couldn't be easier.
I will tell you all what is in it.
 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 package taco seasoning
1 onion chopped
2 bell peppers ( any color, I used red)
1 can fat free refried beans
jar salsa
1 can tomatoes ( I used Rotel for some kick)
1 can black beans rinsed and drained.

Layer all of this in the crockpot in the order as listed.
Cook on low 6-8 hours
I took the chicken out and shredded it then back into crockpost.
Serve with tortillas.
( that is how my family had them.  I just had the meat with a small teaspoon of sour cream, some lettuce and cheese.) 

It made so much I am going to freeze the rest for another meal. 

Just had to share.  The chicken so moist anyone with chicken issue will probably do well with it.

Hi all!

Yep, I'm up early... gonna take the mild pain killers and go back to my first day of work after plastics... Considering the climate of my business I'm surprised I have a job at all. If I'm laid-off I'll head back up to San Francisco a little earlier than I thought I would.

We'll see how I do with swelling... it's something awful when I sit... more so than standing and walking. I'll make an appointment with my doctor about it. Was hoping it would just get better.

Have a TGIM!!!
Kim

Good luck to you Kim on your first day back and suck up all those compliments...you surely deserve them! I am going into work too this morning UGH!

good morning cali crew and janine,
i'm having an upsetting morning i just wieghed myself and i've gained 2lbs... arrrrrr.. i don't like going up and down ... i'm four weeks out today and i would like to know what i'm doing wrong... it seems like since i started eating normal food i haven't lost anything... i'm gonna just excersize more today i guess... well everyone have a great day i hope i will....

Lisa I am going to have to come over there and headslap you and take your scale away....got it gf??? You are not going doing anything wrong as long as you are following what your doctor has told you. There are all kinds of factors that go on as to why you have gained supposedly 2 pounds....like hello water weight if you have eaten something that is salty. Trust me Lisa...don't be a scale ho because it is only going to mess with your head. I am telling you if you follow your doctors protocal you will be fine. Start reading labels and stuff too....get as much protien as you can get in and drink your water too...you are going to be fine...you just have the OMG surgery is going to fail me subconsciouly thing and it will NOT fail you girl if you work it like you are supposed to. Now stay away from the scale and only weigh once a week when it is whacky weigh in wednesday no matter how tempted you are to weigh and exercise! That is an order from gramma neen...got it????  

ok i get it ... thanks ,,, i'll stay off the scale and read labels better....
