Hump Day Roll Call!

Well, hump day is here at last! Lots of prayers to Mariah and Jen, who are both having their surgeries today. I'll bet Sam is about ready to leap out of her skin in excitement, I know her day is less than a week away now! I"ll be a busy little bee the next few days, getting ready for the exchange, and family obligations. Sure seems like I never have much time for myself these days. Think I'll get out there and take some now and go get my 2 miles in before work. Couldn't go yesterday as it was raining ;'( lets hope I beat the rain home today!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Just about ready to jump in the shower so I can go to an oh-so exciting day at work. Survived the round of lay-offs yesterday. Thank God! We only lost a few people in my area, but it was worse elsewhere. Going to The Music Mill tonite for dinner and a concert (Marc Broussard). Has anyone ever eaten there? I pulled their menu offline, but STILL can't decide what I want to get. It all looks good, but I know it'll be gigantic portions. Have a great day! Dontcha just love this humidity... Bren

Good Morning! Mariah and Jen have been on my thoughts since last night. I hope they both have an un-eventful surgery and speedy recovery!! I am having my week of funerals for my favorite foods. It's bitter sweet. I have also started relying heavily on my journal to get my feelings and thoughts out. It is attached to my profile if anyone wants to read it. I have a very busy rest of the week ahead of me. Tomorrow is my nutrition class. Friday is my last day at work for 3 weeks so I have to tie up loose ends. Then Dinner with Eric. Saturday I am hanging with you cool folks. Saturday night dinner with a girlfriend. Sunday lunch with Grandma. Sunday evening dinner with the parentals. Monday is shopping for a birthday present and just getting prepared! EEK!! Sam

I have been trying all day to junp on here and say howdy! Whew! Hope you all are having a good day. I had my second PT on my feet...and this time, hurt more than last time. Oh boy! Well, back at it! At least the work days have been going fast! Have a great hump day! Sherri

Where is everyone today? Have to tell you how much fun I had yesterday at the BMV. I'm sure you all heard on the news about the computer problems they are having and the long lines. Yesterday was the only day I had this month that I could go to renew my Driver liscense plus I had to get plates for my new car. After waiting and hour and a half. They couldn't do my plates because of the computer but I was able to get my new liscense. The gal at BMV that took my picture couldn't belive the change between now and the old photo. I couldn't either. What a shocker. You know it was fun to be able to give the weight and have it less the the number I lied about 4 years ago! I still told her about 20lbs less than I am right now, just becasue I'll be there soon. She gave me my old liscense back to put in my scrapbook.

Good Day All, It sure is super humid out, ouch! Today I will be getting in plenty of walking. As I type this I'm printing out flyers of my meetings so that I can then walk and drop off at local doctors offices, the library post it board, the hospital, and anywhere else I can think of. I sign the papers to permanently secure the meeting place at the club house for my apartment complex. The more I think about this the more I'm getting so psyched and reveved up, woo hoo! Tonight I'll be surfing the web for topic ideas and information. Anything to keep my mind on something positive at the moment. I'm having a little issue with my band. When I got my evasive fill in March I've had a hard time working up to 1/2 of solids per meal. The last part of June and the begining of this month I was excited because I was 1/2 cup for breakfast and lunch and almost 3/4's cup for dinner... BUT the past two days have been difficult for me... and I'm back down to 1/2 to 3/4's a cup for a whole days meal. I know Dr Clark has asked me if I wanted unfilled since but I kept telling him no that I was gonna work my band and stay on solids and do this.... but... I'm seriously considering some type of small unfill when I see him on the 24th. The limitation of the 1/2 cup of food a day has really started head hunger problems with me and it's starting to get to the point where I dread to eat because I know I won't be able to eat enough to feel I enjoyed the food, feel satisfied eating enough to keep me healthy, the emotional pain of not eating. I'm sure that a very small unfill would benefit me all around - emotionally and physically. But still I'm soooooo excited about starting up this meeting. I'm also jazzed that we've got two posters on their way to the loosing side today.. WOO HOOO!. I hope we hear from them soon. Jodi
