Wednesday

Good morning friends! I am feeling good this morning. I was very well behaved and on track all day yesterday, and this morning the scale rewarded me for it! It just builds up my confidence that, no, this slip up this spring does not mean I'm going to fail and gain all the weight back. I can do this.

Last night was pretty nice actually, even though I had to work both jobs. I got an email from one of my best friends. Her foster son got in some trouble. Even though he's moved out of her house, it hurts her. So, I suggested we meet at Applebee's for some girl time. We stayed and gabbed for almost two hours. I didn't feel bad about taking up the booth space, because it was not crowded. We both needed a girls' night.

ttyl!!!

Good Morning all,
I couldn't sleep at all. I have a bit of a sore throat this morning. I am very awake. Well today is day 3 of let's get off of sugar,again. This goes to show all you newbies out there, even though you might hit goal, you can still fall back in to bad habits and you just have to say" It's not gonna take me down!" i do not drink pop or anything bu****er/coffee/tea, but I found myself grazing on Crap and on Mother's day I went overboard and made myself sick. We went to The Claddagh for Mother's Day brunch and it was 20.00 per person, I knew this going in but new I could eat about 5.00 worth of food but it was sooooo NY because that was my wake up call that I was OUT OF CONTROL!
Well I am days this week which means only 2 hours overtime not 8 like I get on my nights but It is nice to get family time in.
Friday is the Clarian Party at the Track. I am so excited I can't wait. i need to go and pick up my tickets from Clarian after work today. So far the weather is supposed to be nice. I hope that holds up.
Linda,I am so glad you had a nice day with your friend. i know I love my girl time with My buddies. It really helps...Speaking of which...I am thinking I need some OH buddy time.
Okay cat keeps erasing stuff so I am gonna say ADios

Good Morning All!!!
Today I am on my way to yet MORE preop tests for my surgery next week.
I didn't sleep well and am TOTALLY exhausted this morning...what sleep I got was just bombarded with strange dreams that kept me up and down all night... I hate nights like that!! Grrr!!!
Sooooooooo..I think I'm gonna come home after these tests and take my nappy nap.
Support group was good last night...first time hubby went with me...he didn't have alot to say during our meeting, but afterward he was just gabbing like a Chatty Cathy doll about everything we talked about....I think it was good for him to go...opened his eyes a little...
Poop!!! I just can't stop yawning this morning!!!
Belinda H. and Liz and Mike1943 are all having their surgeries today, please keep them and their surgeons in your thoughts and prayers and send good vibes their way this AM as they take the next step in their journies...
Tracy was suppose to take Brandi back down to St. V's last nite b/c of some issues she was having, please say a little prayer for Brandi and Tracy and her family as they mourn the loss of Tracy's nephew.

Have a GREAT day all...
hugs and much love

Good morning all...

I got to sleep in this morning. It felt great. Bill went ahead and got up ~6 so he could take a shower. We have to be at the surgery center at 9:30 and Bill's eye procedure is schedule for 10:30. If they hold true to norm, they will bring him bacl to the prep area right after we get there and put him on one of those skinny hard beds. Then he won't have the procedure until.ohh...4 or  5 this afternoon. If they do it before noon, we will both be in total shock. While he's in there, I need to run a paper up to Dr. Bergman's office. It'll help pass time. Besides that, I also brought a ton of work with me yesterday so I can work on it at the surgery center.

Shanna...when you find out your schedule next week, let me know. Maybe we can plan  on meeting at Madison's Grill again or somewhere else. The Red Lobster on Thompson maybe? Gail & I have been wanting to do lunch but between us, something keeps getting in the way.  IF you post it here, maybe others in the area could join us.

You all have a good day today...

Good morning all.

I am sleepy but here.  I have a headache but think its from the lack of sleep and not the pouch test.  Maybe its both...

I took Brandi to ST V emergency room last night after group.  She is going to be fine but is still having issues since her recent hernias and gall bladder surgery.  Keep her in your prayers please.  She is one of my two best friends and really needs prayers right now.

I got some really disturbing news last night about Jason's death.  The SC police told us that someone hit Jason on the interstate and apparrently shoved his wrecked motorcycle down a ravene and then threw him in a creek farther down the way.  The coroner said he didnt die from his injuries of the wreck.  He died several hours later of exposure and drowning.    If they would have searched for him Sunday morning when we called them, they may have saved him.  However, they did not find him for 48 hours because they would not file the report until he had been a full 24 hours with no contact.  So, my heartaches, my emotions are anger, frustration, and deep sadness.  My sister is being strong but is having problems with her brain tumor and the stress of all of this.    All prayers are appreciated!

I am so glad that I have all of you to lean on when times are so hard.  You all mean so much to me and I am here for all of you too.  This group has become so much to my life.  Its about alot more than just the common bond we have in Obesity.  Thank you all so much !

Have a great Wednesday!

God bless you all.

Tracy

Tracy this just makes me ill!! Thats murder and the CSI should be on it bigtime to find the one who hit him!!! sure makes me want to make sure I have somone riding with me when I am riding my motorcycle... Actually it is like swimming you shouldnt do it alone in case a crazy 4 wheel vehicle hits ya... They just dont see a motorcycle Even MINE which is very big with the extra wheels on the back. they have trouble seeing...

Thanks for all that you are doing for Brandi,... bestest friends are  GREAT THING TO HAVE..I have a great friend in Illinois who calls me and lets me unwind for hours on the phone about my sister who by the way is no longer the girl I know and love.... she has become withdrawn and doesnt know anyone any more.. strips down and trys to go to the bathroom herself and falls....She is in the final stages of dieing..

Linda V.  !!!   I am so proud of you for having a successful day!  I knew you could work thru this and you are proving that you are sooo strong!  Keep it up and claim each day a victory and you will fight back to where you wanna be.

Huge hugs, and lots of prayers,
Tracy

Thanks Tracy. That's horrible news about the accident. I'm sorry your family has to go through this. We will be strong together.

 

It's such a mixed bag. Sometimes I want to be strong and appear strong, and am proud of making it through this as well as I have. Other times I just want to scream at the top of my lungs and tell people it's not true, that I am not this strong, that they're just seeing the outside. I guess it just depends on the day.

This too shall pass.

If ya wanna scream scream!! Just go out in the woods and let it go!! Then start laughing just laughing, because laughter reves up our endorphins and helps to elevate our moods...

Nope nothing will make it better and nope it will never be fair but I am sure it will get easier... With love and faith and hope and Mikey and the people who love you there supporting you..

Be well..
