3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY

Here are mine for this Tuesday morning:

1.  Great weekend with the kids.  Got to the pool twice.  Put a lot of sunscreen on and you can't even tell I was at the pool for 8 hours this weekend.  Not a good thing for my tan, but great for not getting skin cancer.

2.  That I haven't eaten anything "bad" today.  The scale did move down 3 pounds from this time last week.  I am greatful for that.

3.  I put on my "old favorite" pants yesterday just to see where I've come from.  I kept one pair of pants as a reminder to where I never want to go again.  I was amazed at how big they really were.  I can't remember being that big.  I never felt that big and I don't feel that "small" now.  But I am greatful for where I am now at one year out.
Check it out.  I hope this works.

Morning Lis!!!

Wow!!!  Amaaaazing pics!!!!  You rock!!!  But it LOOKS like you got some sun on your face - the sunglass shape on your face gave it away!!! LOL!!!  I saw this magnet the other day, "Pale is the new tan!"  That's us!!!  Trust me, it's SO not worth it to look like shoe leather later in life!!!!!

Way to go on the scale moving!!!  Trust me, I know how hard it is to stay away from the bad food!!  SIGH.  An ongoing battle!!

Hugs,

Tia

Lisa....OMG, those pictures are AWESOME!!!  I kept my favorite jeans and I'm afraid to try them on for fear that they'll still fit!  UGH!  I think I'll wait until my one year surgiversary. 

Congrats on the downward motion of the scale...love that!!

Heather

Thanks Heather.  I really needed that boost of confidence.  Next weekend my Mother-In-Law is having a cookout and I will see family that I haven't seen since last July.  Hopefully no one will recognize me (LOL). 

Count on it!!!

Morning everyone. I havent had time to read through but just want to say Tia you are absolutely sadistic wtih all that dental work..you make my mouth hurt just talking about it.

Ok here I go for today:

1.  Im officially back to work. I really thought I would not feel like being back to work but I actually do (and of course theres no work on the system).

2.  My laundry...sigh...is finally caught up....Its only taken me and Kate a week since I got home to get it back under control and down to my 1 load a day but there you go.

3.  That Kate and Marty got to go on her field trip to DC that she's been waiting a month for even though it's raining and most of the trip is outside walking and that her Nanny gave her money for souvies, because momma is oh so broke from being off work for a week!

4.  The weekend was long and relaxing and I was able to catch my Disney and Sea World shows on the travel channel this weekend for my fix... I so need a trip to Disney its not funny anymore! Sigh...maybe next year when Im thin enough to ride the coasters?

Hi Mellie!!

Today should be a quickie - no pain, just the temp crowns being popped off and the new porcelain ones being popped on!!  I should be done in 15 minutes or so!!  A-MEN!!!

I'm glad you're feeling like you wanted to go back to work, but just remember to rest and do what your body needs to heal so it can start shedding those pounds!

God, laundry, particularly at my brother's house, is the bane of our existence!!  ICK!!!

I don't even wanna THINK about the cost of souvenirs in DC.  I'm feeling lazy and NOT taking our lunch on Friday - I don't feel like toting it around.  I just hate that everything COSTS so much! ICK!

Have a great day!

Hugs,

T

I feel ya on the laundry thing...it's a neverending battle!  When both my husband and I are working, we can't keep up.  He's been unemployed since December and has been almost single-handedly keeping up with it...love it.  That will end soon...hopefully...but I think I'd rather have a second paycheck than clean laundry!  LOL!

Uh yeah Id vote for the second pay and piles of laundry!!

Usually I have 1 load a day and I stay on top of that but this week when I went into the hospital I specifically told my daughter keep up with the laundry and apparently she though that meant keep it picked up and piled up in the laundry room and not all over the house. Oh well...you cant win every battle I guess. At least she did the most of it last week for me.

Morning,

Thank GOD for short weeks!  Love to have them every once in a while to recharge!

Today, I'm grateful...

1.  For Mike's parents donating their van (temporarily) for Mike to use and GET A JOB!!!  Let's pray that it's quick.  For those following the truck saga...although the repairs that he was making were completed on Friday...that doesn't seem to be the whole problem.  LOVELY!

2.  For being able to work from home when needed.  We were supposed to start a test event today but as I was working on the test plan yesterday I realized it needed much more work and I needed today to complete it.  Since I'm the boss...I pushed the start date to tomorrow!

3.  For new friends.  Mike's oldest friend had a birthday on Saturday.  His wife invited us over for the event and we had a great time.  I'd met them before but had never spent anytime socializing.  It was fun (cookout, croquet, badmitton, volleyball, ****tails for everyone but me) and now they want us to move closer so we can hang out more.  LOL!

Okay, that's enough for now...have a great day everyone!
