Happy Friday Eve!!

Hey all - Hope everyone's doing well.  It's kind of a dismal morning out there, but at least we're vertical and breathing!!  I'm sitting here, trying to dry out - I spilled iced coffee down the front of me this a.m., and of course, I WOULD be wearing cream colored pants and a peach top!!!  ICK!!  Thank God for Tide to Go pens!!!!   I just wanted to reiterate after the little drama on the boards yesterday afternoon regarding the free chicken sandwich post, that this board is a support board, NOT a judgement board.  Ever since Mo, Terry M. and I restarted this board back in 2005-2006, I've ALWAYS felt comfortable coming here for both wls topics and non-wls topics.  Some of the other boards I visit have so much drama, and I don't want that to happen here.  So, please, be considerate of others, no judging or butt-kicking (unless it's asked for).  Remember, we're all at different stages of our wls journey and everyone is different, as are the parameters established by our surgeons and nutritionists.  I feel like I've found a home here on this board and have made such wonderful friends and don't want to let our unique personalities get in the way of that.  So bottom line, play nicely or you will be asked to leave the sandbox!!!! Looks like it might be a quiet day here at the office, so I'm going to visit the boards and eat my egg whites for breakfast!!  I'm sure after Easter that everyone is eating eggs in some form this week!!! Have a great day!! Tia

Well I am still drinking myself to death and I think I have OD on vick vapors.  I have just about had it.  I have never been this sick.  I feel like I am going to die but I just don't. LOL  There has to be a end in this, Gabriella birthday party is this Saturday. shew   I am not one to lay down and be sick, I am always on the go go go go go but this has kicked it for me.  I need to get out of this FUNK!  They did call in a antibiotic finally.  Prayers please Hugs Kristen

Jeez, Kristen, I'm sorry you're still so sick!!!  The flu I had in January darn near kicked my butt, so I can appreciate what you're going through, especially with the bday party, because I had to do a retirement party for 178 people.  That was horrible!!!  Hopefully, though, the antibiotic will kick in and you'll feel somewhat human for Gabby's big day.   Just keep drinking - water, hot tea, chicken soup, s/f popsicles, etc., take your meds and rest!!! If I can do anything, let me know! Tia

Im sick as well...but still at work...It started with a knot in my throat..then progressed to being hot,achy, sore throat and earache...Right now Im congested and feel like my body is full of wet cotton..I slept 13 hours yesterday and still feel like I havent slept...I have been taking 2000 mg of Vitamin C each day...maybe that will help some...Get well soon!

Hey Heather - Gosh, I'm sorry you're sick, too!!  By all means, keep it!!! LOL!!! When I had the flu in January, the best stuff I took, in addition to antibiotics, was Delsym cough syrup (a little pricey, but worth it), and Mucinex.  That was great stuff!!! Make sure you drink enough and rest, too!!! Feel better!! Tia

Good Morning everyone: Kristen :  Prayers are going up for you my friend. Tia: I so totally agree about the Chix sandwich post yesterday.  I come here for support:  not brow beating and butt kicking. As for my morning :  I was at the gym at 5:45( need my head examined) and plan to be back there again tonight:  i'm hoping that doubling up on the exercise will jump start the weight loss again.  I am hoping to get to the   gym early at least 3 times a week -- Like I said I need my head examined or a life not revolving around the gym.  LOL  No I am testing the theory of if you exercise in the morning you will have more energy thru out the day. So to everyone out there in Maryland land Have a great day. Darla 

Darla - I am SO impressed with your dedication to exercise.  For the first nine months, I was a totally manic gym rat, and I really need to get into that again.  If, for nothing else, the mental release it provided.  It was much better to pound out my frustrations on the treadmill than dig into a pint of Ben & Jerry's!!!! I hope you have a great day, too!!!

Tia

Heather I am going to need a mop over here soon.  BLAH!

.. It is what it is...My feelings werent the least bit hurt from the Chik Fil-A comment...so no worries.

Hey girl, I hope you are having a wonderful day well, besides making a mess out of yourself early in the morning! lol Love your comment on play nicely or leave the sandbox! lol
