FRIDAY ROLL CALL - DAY LATE
Good Morning,
Its a very cold Saturday morning. Looks like summer is over. BOO HOO!!!
Getting ready to go the the Big E today with Tom and Erin. I have not been there in about 20 years. Can't wait, I am so excited. I love crafts and jewelry and walking around a fair. Its so much fun. Taylor Dayne is performing there tonight, I haven't seen in her person in about 20 years, saw her in Toads along time ago.
Well feeling alittle better today, the gas problem is still there, I am trying to stay away from alot of the sugar free stuff. I just love the cookies, got to take a break. Trying to do alot more fluids and a lot more protein. I am stuck again on the scale, I can seem to get out of the 220's. I am stuck at 222. I am getting anxious now, I want to be out of the two hundreds so bad. I know when Kathy K reads this she will want to take my scale away from me.
I had a crazy week as usual at work. One of our coworkers from Park and Rec was killed a month ago on his way to work, we just found out the other day his wife was killed while down in Florida, she wa**** by a train. God, what a terrible thing to happen to such a nice family. Ironically they lost their daughter 2 years ago on the same road he was killed on. Its so sad, I feel so bad for their son and his family. To lose everyone like that and so tragically. Everyone at work was in shock.
The next couple of weekends as usual are going to be crazy. Lots of birthdays coming up. My cousin Mechele's daughters are both in October, my daughter and my cousin Stacy's daughter are both on the 31st. Then my cousin Jodi's son is in October too. Then her daughter is November. Crazy, crazy, crazy. But its alot of fun too with the kids. Erin loves that her and cousin Kacey have the same birthday, even though they are three years apart.
Sunday I am doing another walk, I am walking in Milford for Folks on Spokes and Folks on Foot to raise money for Bridges. They help people and children with emotional problems. We deal with them at work through Orange Family Counseling, its a good cause. I hope to do another walk with work for Breast Cancer in mid October too. I am so excited about being able to do these walks and feel so good. I have come along way from being a homebound, coach potato.
Well I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, its going to be a cold one but beautiful. Its fall time, can't wait for the leaves to start changing. I love this time of the year.
Take care all.
Hugs

Hey Kim,
Have fun at the Big E.
All the walking you'll be doing this weekend will get that scale moving.
I agree with Kathy K.....don't keep watching the scale
You're body is just doing it's adjustments its perfectly normal.
I bet even without the scale you notice things like clothes fitting differently. You are doing such a good job....don't get discouraged.
As for me, I'm going to the gym this morning. I will do the elliptical for an hour and upper body weights for 1/2 hr.
Tonight I am going country western line dancing.
Tommorrow....I'm not sure yet.
Enjoy the beautiful weekend!
Love ya!
Kelly

Good Morning Kim....
I am doing Ok...obsessing about the scale myself....lost 96 pounds and really want to lose the next 4 pounds bu the 8th, but trying not to obsess about it....I am starting to really hate the scale and my hubby keeps threatening that he is going to hide it ! If you ask me, he probably should....I am trying to get myself motivated today... going to the chiropractor later this morning and the gym after that...maybe to the mall, as the cold weather is here and I have no clothes that fit...I have two pairs of long pants and one warm sweater....Things fit so weird, I'm having a hard time finding things I like that fit.....Healthwise I am doing ok, still having some problems with being able to eat some foods, but I am getting better at knowing what to stay away from....I am now dumping on fats and refined sugars, and am having a hard time with bread, most meats, and hard fruits...but fish is great, as is ground meat, and I love cheese, so there is still enough variety to get what I need... Oh well, I am getting a bit wordy...I guess I haven't posted in so long I am feeling moved to give y'all an update,LOL.... I have a very old, very SLOW computer, and posting is so time consuming and frustrating, I am trying to get it all in in one post....But I read all the time and feel like you are all my extended family!!
Lots of Love,
Dorota
HEY KIM!!!!!!!
I HEARD YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are right about your weight scale!!! Measure your body and remeausre your body next month to see if you lose your inches!!! I lost another 5 pounds... The total weight I lost 148 pounds..but I lost alot of iches from my body since I had this surgery. I think too much running burns calories but I love jogging!!!!
Hugs
Kathy K
