Happy Hump Day...!

We're halfway to the weekend!  Yay!  Anyone have some good plans?  As for us, we will likely spend it at the drive in catching some good flicks under the stars.

That is, if I can get DH to loosen the purse strings!  At this time of year, he puts every single spare cent in savings for vacation.  Drives me nuts.  I'm not even able to go with him this year, and my paycheck is going in savings!! 

I finally pointed out to him that if I hadn't gone to the clothing exchange last Saturday, that I would have absolutely freaking nothing to wear that fits!!  The 18s I picked up fit great, but are a little loose, so I'm about to move to 16s I think.  Wearing my old size 24s, 22s, and a few 20s to work no longer cuts it!  I put on a pair of slacks size 20 Monday, zipped them up, and they promptly fell to my knees. 

Oh well!  Hope everyone has a great day!  You have an opportunity to choose your attitude:      or      are your menu choices for today!

Love you all! 

I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go.....

Good morning!

I don't have alot planned today..which makes the day go by soooo slowly! I MIGHT have something to do tomorrow. I'm waiting on this idiot to get stuff corrected that was suppose to have been done last August! Management is now in a rush for the report on that data and wanting a report written to support it. Well..that can't be done until all the data in the books are correct with what is in the computers. So...the hold up is all this one idiot's. I'm the one they had check his work last year and found so much of it to be wrong so they want me to be the one to recheck it. He said he was ready for me to it yesterday...until I said that I would need to see his notebook & binder...not just a spreadsheet. All of a sudden, he was completely booked up yesterday and today. LOL. Anyway...until that is done, there's not alot for me to do here. Darn desk duty!

I sent Dr. Gupta's nurse a note to see if Dr. Gupta would like to see me before setting up a surgery date or if they'd go ahead and get it set up. Idealy, they'll get in touch today with a surgery date. Then, I  can know if I can go ahead and plan on me & Tiffany to go to the conference or not. Is everyone planning on going to Chicago on Friday and coming home on Sunday afternoon or what? I couldn't remember if there were sessions on Friday too or just Saturday.

Well..you all have a good day today!

Good Wed morning my fellow hoosier losers.  Off work today so going to clean my carpets.  I got my laundry room and bathroom done yesterday as planned.  I have to go have a blood draw this morning for my nine months check up coming up in two weeks, so I am fasting this morning...ugh ugh ugh no coffee for me!!  The biggest part of the time I drink decaf but I still miss it. 

As far as the weekend goes, I am having a baby shower for one of the girls I work with.  Anyone been to a baby shower lately and have any tips of things to do or not to do?  I haven't been to a shower in years, all my friends are grandmas by now lol.  I am praying for nice weather on Sat so we can have the shower at the shelter house and not inside my house, its just not big enough for 20 people to play games and eat.  I can't control the weather though so I refuse to let it stress me out, if it rains so be it.


Peace and Love to you all,
Jeannie

im still laughing @ the image of Christie standing there and her pants falling to her knees....
toooooooooooo funny!!!
only you Christie...only you hunney!!!
hahaha!!!

soooooooooooo....
today i am going back down to carmel to see the cardiologist this morning and this afternoon have an EKG scheduled @ St. V's....i swear my car can drive itself to St. V's now!!!  and of course ever since i got the news about my EKG...ive had chest pains....hopefully its just a mental thing...

well i spose i better go get some makeup on so i don't scare everyone half to death and be on my way...

hope everyone has a GREAT humpy hump day!!!

So Pam - any word on how the tests went??

Good morning all. I woke up to my husband telling me he over slept for work because our power had gone out. I'm glad he realized it before my son missed the bus. It's a yucky dreary day out and I plan on going to the gym and tackling that beast also known as the eliptical. I'm gonna push for 20 minutes today! I just finally mastered it but my endurance needs a little work! 

Nothing else planned except that I have to get a garage sale put together, I have so much stuff sitting around. It's hard to staff a garage sale though when you have to watch a 2 year old. Anyone want to join me? It's always more fun with two people!! ;o)

Christie honey, go to Goodwill and buy some clothes that fit, will you? No one wants to see your pants drop around your feet!  Even if we love you!!

Good morning all!   

My plans today include finishing shopping for some groceries for my birthday party tonight.  I haven't been home and in the country to celebrate a birthday in years so I am looking forward to sharing it with Family and Friends here.  (Although, I still wi**** was on a cruise ship!)

My doggie Reese has the same birthday as me and so he is 4 today!  I am so happy to have him in my life!  He was my surgery gift from Marc last May.  I cant believe its almost been a year already!

Well, I am gonna have to get things done to decorate inside the house since it appears that the weather is gonna be bad and I wont be able to have the party outside tonight. 


I hope you all have a great day!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Hi!
I have a friend coming for a visit today so we will probably wind up shopping or something. I feel pretty good. One of the incisions are still tender when I move the wrong way but my biggest problem is that I think I pulled some muscles in my left side trying to get sat up in bed...its sooo sore!
Where is a drive in Christie? I would love to see a drive in movie again and take my kids to experience it.
I cant wait until my first pair of pants fall to my knees! I lost 21 total inches in a week so I am waiting to see if this Sunday shows more of a loss...keep your fingers crossed!
Hope everyone has a super, wonderful day!

Melissa - there are several open drive ins still in Indiana!  We have one here in Indianapolis - Tibbs Drive In.  It's on the west side of town at Washington and Tibbs.  4 screens, very nice and clean.  There's also the Cinema 67 on SR 67 down by Spencer.  There's one in Bloomington, and several still open in Northern Indiana as well.  There's a good site, drivein.com that gives the open drive ins by state.  I love going to them!

When we went on vacation out Route 66, we went to 2 drive in movies along Route 66.  It was a blast.

You're doing great!  Keep up the good work!

Hello all my friends. How are you doing? I overslept this morning, totally. Didn't get to wor****il 8:30am. Glad I had earned some personal time last week.

I was practically tearful this morning after getting on the scale. It's up to 160. I have gained back 15 pounds in just over 2 months. I know it's been a hard time, I shouldn't be rough with myself, but I have worked too hard to get down to where I was.

So I am getting back on the wagon today, and doing what I know I should. I stopped at the Kroger's on my way to work. (I still would have been late, even w/o that.) I picked up FF cottage cheese, FF yogurt, bananas, water bottles, some things like that to eat for breakfasts and lunches at work instead of McDonalds, which I have been indulging in all too frequently lately.

I figured on fitday my breakfast of FF cottage cheese with sugar-free mandarin oranges and a banana on the side had less than 1/2 the calories of my Mickey D's staple, a McGriddle. So off to a good start today.

I need encouragement. My initial thought was, "See you can't do this. You're on your way to gaining it all back." That's my fear. I know 15 pounds isn't 150 pounds that I had lost, but I don't like my pants feeling snug again. Please send encouragement!!!
