3 THINGS FOR MONDAY
Good Monday Morning Maryland;
Hope everyone had a good weekend: I know I did.
3 things grateful for list this Morning
1. The health of my parents: we got good news about Dad finally on Friday
He did not have a stroke : He was probably dehydrated and the bleeding
in his eye caused the double vision: So he will get some meds to stop the bleeding
and prevent further loss of eyesight : If anyone talks to Tia please pass this along.
2. That Saturday I spent some time with some old friends and their parents -
It was the Dad's 80th birthday party: Had not seen them since I was preop
so it was a day filled with compliments and goodtimes.
3. That I dragged myself to the gym yesterday : it was so hot I didn't want too;
but I did the weight circut and walked 2 miles on the treadmill and still had
energy left to hit PetSmart and Superfresh on the way home.
Have a great day everyone

Good Morning Glad you had good news and a good weekend
Today I am grateful for
1) For the strenght to do this 5 day pouch test and turn things around again. And for Heather to do it with me. You have someone else counting on you when you partner up :)
2) A weekend of so much fun I wish I could rewind it and do it over again. except the part where my car was acting funny on Friday and Hubby took it in Saturday after he got off work and called me and told me what was wrong with it and that it cost a thousand bucks to fix.
3) That every morning I wake up is a new day with no mistakes in it

Happy Monday (I am trying to get myself pumped up for the work week!)
My 3 Things!
1 - Life is full - I was busy all weekend. A super concert on Friday night (Thanks Darla for coordinating!); Visiting a long time friend on Saturday, running errands; Gym, jewelry party, more shopping, baking for work, and chores. it is amazing how busy life is now. I almost need a weekend to recover from my weekend. But all in all, it is wonderful. My life would not be this full if not for the changes over the past year. My goal of getting my life back is being fulfilled and it is good.
2 - All of the good things I read about my friends on OH on the weekend. I did not get to post much, but I did see that those who are recently out of the hospital are progressing; others had great wow moments; others had good experiences and accomplishments. I am glad for each and every one of you.
3 - A good customer service experience. These do not happen often. Sometimes when you run into a problem, you just sort of get into battle mode because you just know it is going to be a fight. I had searched on Amazon.com a week ago under the keyword "sugar free" and ordered some sugar free flavored syrups. I was dismayed when some of the items in my order were not sugar free. Upon investigating I found that I had inadvertently ordered them this way without realizing. As I was looking into how to return I further discovered that Amazon does not take "grocery" items back and this was considered such an item. So I wrote them an email to get the process started. Within 24 hours, to my amazement, I received a response stating that they still could not take the items back, but that they were issuing me a credit for them anyway. Wow! Now that is Customer Service!

hey darla, that is awesome about your dad. so relieved to hear that!
my three things:
1. the scale is moving again. i've lost 6 lbs this week so i am very happy about that.
2. personal chef. I had a lady come over this weekend to spend some time w/ me and we cooked two dishes that were very original and good. I had a great time. I might try to do something where we come over my house or hers and have a cooking demonstration. it would cost money but if enough people came, it shouldn't be too much.
3. that i started today w/ protein and brought my clothes to exercise today. i tend to derail myself and stop doing the right thing pretty quickly after starting. especially when i see success. so i am proud of myself for continueing my efforts to change my lifestyle.

1. I'm glad I found this site to help me through my lap band journey and for Deb starting our support group in Easton.
2. I'm grateful to be visiting my children and grandchildren in Atlanta and they are all happy and healthy. My daughter had cancer last year so this is a huge deal!!
3. I'm grateful to have a pool to go to while I'm here since it's HOT!!!!! They don't call it "Hotlanta"for nothing!!!

1. Every day that I have with my children and that my children are healthy. A friend of mine lost her 3 year old son this weekend unexpectedly. I am so devastated for them.
2. That My body no matter what the weight is healthier than it was 1 year ago.
3. That I finally broke through that stall and have finally lost 100 lbs! I only have 25-35 more to go.

and keep it up : It really helps
Debbie: No thanks necessary: As we said the other night it is so nice to be busy
