Good Thursday Morning Everybody!
Good Thursday Morning Everybody!
How is everyone today? I know it's been kinda slow on the boards this week with some folks not working, etc. What's up in your world? How goes the eating, supplements, fluids, protein and exercise? I'm good on all counts but the exercise. I'm hoping to get to the gym tomorrow (not gonna wait until next week). Anybody have any plans for this weekend? I'm not planning anything so we'll see what happens.
Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning Terry! All is well in So. Calvert County. Saw "Night at the Museum" yesterday. Very entertaining! Heading to VA today to meet my sis and sis-n-law for some chatting time. Possibly lunch. Tomorrow taking the kids to see Eragon. I'm kind of excited about this too. Love this type of movie. New Years Eve is as usual. I'm going to picture crop until I bust! We watch the ball drop, hubby shoots of guns and the kids bang pots and pans like crazy. I love having this time off with the family. Very lucky to have the type of job that I do. Knowing that I have to return to work on Tuesday is already rattling my cage a tad. I need to seriously get back on track. When you eat crappy, you feel crappy. I'm tired of that feeling and need to change my ways. Have not drifted too far, but enough to tell a difference. Today's the day. How did you Christmas shin-dig go? Did you get all your baking done? Have a good one.

Hi Tracy,
Sounds like you've been having a good time. I think if I had a hubby and children it would be hard for me to go back to work too
My Christmas was very nice. Kind of quiet, but good. We had the usual family over. Yes, they came on Friday the 22nd and installed the new parts in the oven. So far so good! It was working prior to them working on it, but in the middle of baking something it would go from 350 degees up to 425 or 450. I had to throw out a few burned pans of cookies before it was all said and done.
At least we listen to our bodies now when we stray a little. I can remember a time prior to WLS where I really didn't listen and we see the results that got me.
Have a great weekend/new year holiday!

I've decided that today will be a good and productive day. I got some decent sleep eventhough I was awake at 4 am. My stomach is not trying to go with the flow. I am hoping it is all better now. I had some peanut butter and crackers about 6 and that seems to be doing ok. Mouthy was working overtime gurgling and well.... being noxious. I think I will be going to a New Year's eve gathering at a friends house. It will be a quiet affair form what I understand. Works for me. I am usually sound asleep by the time the ball drops.

How quickly we learn that the pouchie rules, huh?
I've been meaning to ask you who your surgeon was. I had Dr. Averbach at St. Agnes. I think we live near each other as you've mentioned the SW area of Baltimore in your posts (I think). I grew up SW Baltimore County and moved to northern AA County 9 years ago. Just curious
Have a wonderful day (hope the pouchie settle down)!

Good morning Terry
I'm working this week, though we have a lot of folks out, so it's sort of quiet. Mr Mo's been working out in Western MD. He left EARLY Tuesday a.m. and is due back this afternoon so it's been quiet at home. I've had primary care responsibilitles for a VERY noisy and demanding Lefty!!! I walk in the door and he's hollering about something .. attention, food, you name it!!! Tuesday night I called Mr Mo and put Lefty on the phone so he could share his howling with Daddy!!!
I had my 2nd orientation meeting with the PT yesterday evening at the gym. I wanted to get comfortable with the circuit equipment. Of course, just as my appointment was to begin the power went out. It took a few minutes for the lights to come back up, and then the timer on the circuit never did come up, but we went through all the equipment. I thought I had an hour with the PT but she was busy 'rushing' me because she had another appointment. At least I got to do all 11 machines. I had done about 17 minutes on the treadmill before I met with her, and then afterwards did 15 on the gazelle like thing and another 35 minutes on the recumbent bike. I definitely got my work out last night. I may try to go tonight, though I didn't bring my stuff and Mr Mo is probably going to meet me here in Annapolis and go home with me tonight then back in the a.m. and pick up his car and go to Baltimore. I think on Saturday a.m. I will add at least one round on the circuit to my regular workout, if not two rounds. I am sure that starting next week the gym is going to be MOBBED after work with all the new year's resolutions! I'm glad I've at least gotten adjusted to going and it's not all new for me or I would be overwhelmed.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Mo

Hey Mo
Sounds like you've been busy, busy, busy. I'm glad to hear the gym is working out for you. I have determined I'm going there tomorrow because like you, I don't want to be starting back cold next week with all the people who've made new year's resolutions. I also want to try really hard to lose some more fat before my tummy tuck, which I'm hoping to have done in May. I also want to try out my new IPOD/armstrap set-up. I go the IPOD for Christmas. It's been kinda fun going through all my old cd's and copying my favorite songs from the years onto it. I'm not done yet, but I've already got over 100 songs copied over to it.
Have a great day!

Hi Terry,
I am here just waiting for Jan 16th to get here asap. I am dying for the dr to put in for authorization for the surgery.
I have bought Body fortress protein and I started to replace two meals since yesterday. Man oh man was I hungry and not nice to my family. I hate hunger yeah that is why I am this big now. lol I have to focus and lose the weight I gained throughout the holidays so when I go back they can see that I am really serious about this and I want to get everything done asap. Today the hunger is a little less and I am looking forward to feeling less hungry.
I don't have any plans for the this weekend. My husband had all week of Christmas off so he works all this week and weekend too. He gets off at 11 pm and I hope he makes it here before midnight since he commutes from falls church Va.
I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous new year. Enjoy exercising!
Hugs,
