Good Thursday Morning Everybody!

Good Morning Everybody! How is everyone? I'm doing pretty good. Doing A-OK with the eating, fluids, supplements and protein. Haven't had a chance to get to the gym yet, but I'm hoping going up and down the steps and getting up and down to do things for Mom count for something Speaking of Mom, she's doing great! She's now getting up from a sitting position with no help. I take her back to the surgeon today for an appt. Well, I'm only here in the office this morning, so I gotta scoot and get some work done. Have a great day! Take Care, Terry

Hey Terry! Glad to hear McMom is doing great! I'm good. Having pinto beans and water for breakfast! Hot sauce included! I was brave at lunch yesterday and tried some more chicken. I had 2 legs and some mashed potatoes. The chicken went down fine. I'm convinced it is just the texture of the breast meat that is messing with me. (Floyd too) Even cooked in the crockpot made me Well, gotta start some work. TTYL!

Hey Heather Chicken is STRANGE!!!! I got sick Sunday night on 1/2 a chicken quesadilla wrap, yet had the other half yesterday for lunch (am I a glutton for punishment or what ??) and had NO problem with it. Go figure Even as far out as I am I have no idea what is going to work from one meal to the next. Have a great Thursday. Hugs, Mo

Hey Heather - Yup, breast meat can be the dickens!!! It seems like the only way I can tolerate it is chopped up in a salad with dressing (a lubricant, I guess!). Sorry you !! Give that Kylie-girl a squeeze from me! Tia

Good morning Terry Glad to see Mom is doing so well! Have a busy day here, so I need to get cracking on it! Hugs, Mo

Good Morning Good Morning Good Morning!!! Hope everyone is warm and dry inside! Started raining when I was half-way to work BLAH So glad it's Thursday as it has been a really really slow work week and I am climbing the walls looking for projects to do! Terry, so glad your mom is doing well. Sounds like she is a trooper! I'm going out again tonight WOOHOO!!! Funny, as the weight comes off the more I want to go out. Let's see if I can find another pair of jeans to fit...and let's see if the cute guy is there again LOL HEE HEE HEE I'm just having too much fun already!!!! ~Heather

Heather, I am glad you are having fun. Losing this weight has given me a bit more confidence as well. I feel "free" and want to enjoy myself. Hope you see the cute guy! Robin

Hi Terry. I am glad that McMom is getting better and recovering nicely. Give her a hug from me. I am sure that your stairs and other stuff is counting as good quality movement. I haven't done anything since Monday night at curves. I was doing so well and these past two weeks I have struggled to find motivation. I think its the weather. I brought my shoes today and it's pouring outside. Maybe I'll climb stairs today, if I can stand it. That won't be easy but it'll be great exercise, especially for my heart. Our Christmas program is progressing nicely. The next few weeks are tough for me because it seems as if everything I am trying to do conflicts with something else. The Christmas program is the same night as Meghan's band concert. I am gonna have to send hubby to watch her. I hate missing those. It's half of her grade for the semester so she can't miss. She doesn't want to go but I think its good for her. My support group Holiday party is the same night as Stephanie's NHS ceremony. I am gonna miss the party of course. Not that I mind, my kids come first (except for the Christmas play cuz I have a major part and can't be replaced this late in the game). It's just so crazy this time of year cuz there is so much I want to do. It'll all be okay. Kinda busy at work today. It's good busy. Stuff I like to do. I got all the printing done yesterday so that is a relief. I hate printing! It's one of those mindless busy work tasks that I always put off til the last minute. Have a fab day y'all!! Inspite of the rain. Hugs, Robin

Thanks Robin! Yes, it is nice to start feeling free and wanting to be out there. I am finding confidence I never realized I had. My best friend kinda put alot into perspective for me. We were talking about how I was last week when we went out. She said that she always has a good time and loves going out w/ me but she LOVED LOVED LOVED being out with me last week. She said I was so outgoing, laughing, talking and just having fun. Before I would just talk to my close friends and not put myself out there to anyone else. Amazing how I hid behind my fat.....and who can really hide when you are fat? I know I have a LONG way to go and I am just at the beginning of my losing..but I feel so good I just want to share it with everyone!!! ~Heather P.S. Your new picture looks awesome!!!

Hey - Glad McMom's doing well - here's hoping both of you can get some much needed rest. I was MIA yesterday, I had a "friend" unexpectedly pop in. This was no "friendly friend" either!!! I am so thinking I won't be able to wait until 2008 to have a partial removal of my friendly parts. Disgusting! But I'm back today, a little worse for the wear, but I'm here. Not much else new - if you get a chance, give me a call over the weekend and let me know how everything is. Tia
