Hello everyone

Well the week is half way over with.  I have Friday off!!!

I am eating my farmer's market raspberries, what a yummy breakfast.  Although, there is no protein.  I will have to make up the lost protein later today.

There is a group of girls at work that are dieting.  They all got their doctors to prescribe Phentermine ( a diet drug).  Well of course they are all losing weight at a really good rate.  And now I find myself feeling jealous.  One girl lost 6 lbs in less than a week.  I want to lose 6 lbs!!!  But #1 my doctor will never prescribe Phentermine and #2 I tried Phentermine before and I eventually gained the weight back.  It still doesn't stop me from feeling envious.  

Well I hope you all have a nice day.

Good morning Crystal and Everyone.

Just remember Crystal, your weight will stay off, just follow the rules. Scripts won't let you keep the weight off. As soon as they go off them, they will gain back.

It is a nice, sunny morning. Hoping it dries the yards a bit. We can't do anything as wet as the ground is.

Today it is cleaning out a couple of bedroom drawers and doing some vacumning. I really want to get a lot of stuff done this summer, but, not sure how much I can do..

Taking a walk this morning also.

Have a great and safe day.

Huggers,
LISA

Little daughters birthday today (23) wish I could be with her.

One appointment today and two ups deliveries should be out on the truck so here is hoping they do not come while I am out or I will have to wait until tomorrow.

Pills, tobacco, alcohol...  I really do not like any of them and look forward to the day when I can swim for an hour, take a twenty five mile bike ride and run ten miles.  Those are my favorite drugs.  The ones your body produces when you do those things.

So you have been forgiven?

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I know how you feel Crystal.  I am SO tired of being stuck, and I think about trying crazy things to help.  Then, I remember WHY I did this......to STOP the craziness.  Although the drugs may help in the short term, as soon as a person stops the drugs, the bad eating begins again, usually with a VENGEANCE and all lost weight comes back and brings friends.  For me, the reason I lost weight on the drugs was because I couldn't eat at ALL.......not very nutritious, and my body went crazy once the drug stopped working.  For me, that was usually a couple of months down the road.  Then, I ate everything in sight!  Hang in there and follow the rules, you will be better in the long run.  (Even though I know how HARD it is to see the "long run".)

I am working today, then home to help Liv decorate cupcakes for David's camp buddies.

I hope to get out on my bike this evening too.  It was raining last night and I had a meeting at the Playhouse.

The meeting went well and it looks like our show is going to be pretty good!

Everyone have a splendid day!

 

Tell someone that you love them!

One thing about being off work is, you loose track of what day it is. I can come on this site an immediately find out. Just look for roll call.

Christineb just wanted to tell you that, I seen the doctor again yesterday, and since my incision looks worse than it did yesterday, No lifting anything for another week. 

Every day since after surgery, I've been walking the street in front of the house. An each day I would get a little farther. Well I have about 6 more mail boxes and I will be able to walk to the full length of the street. My goal today is to find out how long the street is and find out how far I have to go to reach 1 mile. I'll eventually build up to a mile a day. An then I'm going to continue. Woohooo!!!

Have a GREAT Wednesday everyone!!

Oh, I am so sorry that you are having to go through with your incisions giving you an issue and to finally hear the doctor make a better judgement call on weight training. I am happy that you have been proactive in your care.

Keep up the good work and you will be at that mile mark soon.

Hi all, I'm trying to get in the habit of checking in.  Missed a couple of days, but will try to do better.  It's good to see everyone's smiling faces.  And Marcy, where are you!!!!!!??????? Stop lurking.

 Good Evening Everyone!

It was a beautiful day today!  I had lunch on the patio at work -- so nice!  I love the days I can do that.  
Training is going well.  Just hope I feel as confident about knowing the stuff when I am actually on the phones.  

Well baby finally has a name!.  They went home from the hospital today so a name had to be decided.  Kathy did not win in her quest for Vincent as George (her husband) has a nephew by that name.  They chose Enzo Anthony.  Enzo is the short form of Vincenzo in Italian and George is telling Kathy that she got the name Vincent.    George is Italian so it is something that works for him and his family.  Kathy does agree.  So Enzo it is.

George tried to explain how he felt about using Vincent by using my nieces names as an example in why they would not want to use one of their names for the baby and then the girls decided on their own that the baby should be called Maggie after my niece Maggie.  There went that explanation out the window!    Leave it to kids to rain on anyone's logic.  

So baby has a name and the family is home and settling in.  Life is good.  

    Cat Lady
