3 THINGS FOR WEDNESPAY!!!

Three things for today: (1)  a little boy (2 1/2) that makes me smile like nobody's business.  He is the absolute light in my life. (2)  a clean house with all the laundry done AND put away. (3)  a pretty damn great life.  Good friends, a good job with a supportive boss, and a family that I absolutely adore. Now....if I could only lose some more weight.  I'm four weeks out and seem to have hit a lull.

Hi Tracey! Wow!!  A cuddly boy and a clean house - what more could a girl want!!! As far as the lull - trust me, it is only TEMPORARY!!!  It'll happen again, so try not to stress.  It's just your body playing catch-up! Tia

Im thankful for:

1. My youngest daughter Sydney comes home from Florida today. She has been with my mom in Sarasota/Orlando for the past MONTH!! (Ohhh what peace and quiet I had though)..

2. Muscle Milk-I just bought this protein drink yesterday..OMG..I love this stuff!

 3. My Scale- Who is my friend now. I no longer dread to step on it. -14 pounds so far..wooo

 

Heather - I know you've missed your daughter, even if you were loving the peace and quiet. Don't panic if the scale becomes your enemy again - it happens, and it'll be your friend again, too!!!  14 pounds is FANTASTIC!!!

Heather Muscle Milk is all I will drink, I love the light!

Good morning everyone.  Not feeling my best today, but I'm going to suck it up and get through.  I know there are better days to come.  I'm constipated and I gained 2 lbs on my scale this morning and I'm sick to my stomach and I went to bed last night at 8:00 then woke up at about 2am and couldn't fall back to sleep.  That's enough feeling sorry for myself, so here are my 3 things for the day. 1.  Eastern Shore Support Group meeting tomorrow night, where I will get to meet a few of my OH friends!!!! 2.  Wednesdays are generally "meeting days" and I usually can't get anything done, but I only have one meeting today ~ in about 7 minutes. 3.  For my co-worker, Janet.  She is on vacation this week and I'm trying to help out with her work and I really appreciate that I don't have to do this every week. To all ~ have a great day!!!!  And by the way, I love men with bald heads and gotees too!

Lisa - You're entitled to feel sorry for yourself.  If it helps - no potty = weight gain.  Once things are "moving" again, the scale will, too.  In the meantime, some people swear by Miralax, but for me, a couple pieces of s/f chocolate, some s/f ice cream or s/f Rita's ALWAYS does the truck.  Make sure you're getting in enough water - that's KEY!!!! Don't forget to check with the ESL to see when we can get together at the beach if anyone is still interested. Hope you feel better soon!

Hmmmmm...... Bald guys?  Goatee?  Haven't seen any lately.

Know whatcha mean.  They seem to be a precious commodity on this board!!!  LOL!!! So...................if you see any, tell 'em I'm single and looking, wouldja???? LOL!!! Tia

Good Morning, All! I am back and had a great time! My 3 things for today: 1 - The warmth of family. My family gives me such an emotional charge just being with them. Even though I don't get to see my Indiana family very often, the connection and support is so strong. When I see them in person, I get this extra charge that sustains me for a long time. They knew and loved me anyway when I was so big and they continue to do so. I feel the same about them. 2- That I can travel and still be successful. Even though I was not at home, I brought enough of my favorite supplies with me. I had these things to fall back on when I needed to. I also was able to walk every day. My reward is that I continued to lose weight while I was gone. Yippee! 3- My nephew Joe. As I mentioned before I left, he lent me his vehicle to use on my trip since my car is getting a little old. When we swapped cars back last night, I was suprised to see that he had washed and cleaned my car, both inside and out. I did not ask him to do this. He just did it. He is a real sweetie!     4- I am off today, going back to work tomorrow. So I am going to enjoy the day. Best wishes all!  Debbie
