Good Morning IL - What a change in the weather. Very cool this morning but refreshing. Calvin is starting Medifast today and I'm incorporating at least one of my meals and a snack w/ a medifast replacement. We shall see how that goes. So far I think the meals are pretty tasty. I'm used to trying different "diet" foods. Calvin on the other hand is like a big baby. His life is in the kitchen so you know any pre-packaged meal is just not at the top of his wish list. LOL He'll get thru it. My surgeon and his wife are both following the plan and have had great results and ook fantastic. So, I'm already at work and need to get busy. It's going to be a long day, I'm working both jobs so probably will just be lurking from time to time.

Cindy - Tomorrow is your big day! Sending prayers your way. Monica - Congrats on the WL! Janet K - What a scare you had. I'm glad your carbonmonoxide detector alerted you. That can be some scary stuff. Kim - Try to stay positive, don't give up the fight. It's times like these that you should be able to lean on your OH family. Stop isolating yourself and let us hold your hand thru this hard time.

I wish everyone a happy day. Don't forget to give yourself a hug and be good to yourself. Christina

Good morning! I am on my way out the door, gonna start running errands early, I feel a nap coming on later today..lol Anybody watching anyof the new shows? I love Cane, Back to You, Private Practice, Reaper, Chuck, Dirty,Sex, Money! There is probably more, but I can't over extend my mind this morning..lol Where did the warm weather go too? I guess fall is officially here. I did get my protein in yesterday, we went riding on DH's cycle, and I coughed and swallowed a bug...ewwwwwwwwww...lol Everyone have a great day! Dee

Dee, just consider the bug extra protein!!

I have done that before too though, it is gross when you think about it! Then again look at those tv shows where people do it on purpose! ha ha

Good Morning one and all! I love the cooler weather now, it will be so much easier for me to get out and walk more. The dogs love it too. Today is just work, which is still very busy and will be for a while. It makes the time go so much faster though. Tyler has his first meeting after school with the Illionois Math and Science Academy class he was accepted into. Then it will be home, dinner and helping the boys on their room some more. they are switching their sleeping room to a much smaller room and we are making the biggest room a "hang out room" for them and their friends. Though Tyler has had a really bad attitude lately and I am not sure why. Tonight we will watch Kid Nation and Criminal Minds. That's it for me! I will be thinking of and praying for Cindy tomorrow that her surgery goes smoothly and she will be on the loser's bench in no time. Janet, that is so scary with the carbon monoxide scare. I am glad that you are safe and sound. Kim, please come here to vent and lean on us through this difficult time. Everyone enjoy what seems like the first real day of fall today!!

Okay.....shame on me!!! I should not turn away from true friends, I should talk to and lean on them! I should have learned that 2 years ago when I was on the brink of divorce! Yesterday I talked to someone at surgeryloan.com and got info. Because I am a stay at home Mom and I don't claim the money I get from babysitting, I need my husband on the loan. So there goes that ider! I might be able to save a few thousand and get a 6 thousand dollar loan by myself and go south of the boarder. I have perfect credit and do have income...why can't I get the stupid loan! I think I am going to call JP Morgan today. I have my 401k w/ them. I'm goin to ask about boring against my 401k or cashing it out!

I've been up since 4:30. Maddie and I took our neighbors to O'hare this morning and then I took her to school. I have some running around to do today and I want to do at least 5 min of Teo Boe boot camp! That stuff kicks my butt! I was only able to do 3 min yesterday. I am going to the movies tonight w/ some friends.

I hope everyone is having a good day! Cindy..I'm sending good and safe thoughts your way and will be thinking about you tomorrow and days to come! I am so very happy for you! May God bless you and everyone else on this site! We are all very lucky to have found eachother!!!!

Love ya, Kim

Don't worry Kim........It's not a shame on you! You just needed time to re-group! It's gotta to be so hard, but there will be the perfect solution for you somewhere! In the mean time you can bounce ideas off of us! I tell you what I know.....If it were any one of us in this situation like yours, you would be in our houses holding our hands! So just know we are here! Hugs Pam PS Get the ankle weights! LOL
