Hello everyone, I am here for a second. Busy day today, we are checking out of our hotel in the north shore going back to Honolulu and flying over to Kauai. We will be there for 3 nights again visiting hotels and going on a 4 x 4 backroads tour. I am looking forward to that tour, after we leave Kauai we will be flying to Maui visiting more hotels and going on a snorkling trip abroad the Hyatt Regency's yacht. Hawaii is beautiful and I definiately reccommend that if you can get here to see these beautiful islands do it. Time to go pack, shower and eat breakfast. Have a great day everyone. Deanna

Vickie, I am so glad you and Mom are feeling better each day. My day is not bad. My hubby had to bring me to work for he is working on my Van today. Things are going well. I am officially obese now instead of morbitly obese. I feel really good and exercizing about an hour a day. I am kind of upset about things going on at work. I was put on a disapinary plan for attentance due to taking time off for Gastric Bypass Surgery. My supervisor tried to fight it because he says I do not abuse sick leave. I never call off sick and most of the time I come to work sick. I saved up vacation and sick leave before I had surgery so I would have it to use. They approved it but now want to use it against me. I feel this is discrination against obsity but don't know where to turn. Has anyone else had a problem similar? Sorry to tell of my problems but at least you guys know where I am coming from. I refused to use FLMA at the time, for I might of had complications and needed it to save my job. I worked all summer on light duty . Had skin graft in August so I could return to full duty. I still have vacation and sick leave on the books to use. It's like you earn it but can't use it. I have worked for 2 weeks with a cold and laringitis. Even the Govenor was put on bed rest for that. Enough complaining!!!!! Sorry!!!! See all lighter. Joanne

Hello Everyone , I just got back from gymnastics class with Chloe. We had fun today, her daddy and both mom-mom's and pop-pop's got to come too. They sat up in the observation booth and watched her. Of course she wouldn't do most of the things she usually does. Isn't that the way it always is, here I am bragging her up and she acted like she didn't know how to do anything...oh well She did look super cute in her halloween costume. They got to dress up today and she was a little U.S.A cheerleader. I even sprayed glitter in her hair Gee, I am going on and on about Chloe. You guys are probably thinking...sheesh...get a life Well, I am going to play some games on the computer and try to warm up before going outside to clean out my van. Hope everyone has a super day!!!!

Bonnie, I try to get my required protein (79g) with my Nectar drinks. That way when I can only eat a few bites at a time I just count it as "bonus" protein. That way I can tell the dietition, yes I'm getting in all of my protein requirements every day. If my labs come back and my protein is low, I can just add another drink.
