3 THINGS FOR MONDAY!
Good morning! Hope everyone had a safe, happy holiday weekend!! We had a good one, although I confess that I'm not nearly as relaxed as I was this time LAST Monday! And I was off all week!!! I didn't get accomplished nearly half of what I'd intended, but what can you do? I'm not especially happy to be back to work, although I realize there are loads of folks who would gladly trade places with me!!! So today seems a bit of a stretch for me!
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. That I only have to work for a week and a half before I'm off for another week and a half and off to the beach!
2. That my brother's pool is up and running and he's graciously agreed to let us have a Loser Cookout/Pool Party at his house! I'm thinking Sunday, August 23, so keep the date open if you can! We will supply certain items, with everyone attending bringing items to supplement.
3. That I resisted the urge to make TWO batches of brownies for our cookout over the weekend!!! I KNEW that if there were two pans, I'd eat more, so I stuck with one and everyone was happy! Sometimes, it's the little things, ya know?
Have a great day everyone!!!

CONGRATS JILLY! You must be so happy and proud ofyourself! That is a major accomplishment. I can remember when I graduated from extremely obese,into the obese category. I was so thrilled, you would never believe that anyone would be so happy to be obese! LOL You are doing a great job, you are a true inspiration to all of us. Keep up the good work and enjoy the rest of your WLS ride! Leslie:) 
Thank you Leslie ;o) That was so nice! ;o) And I was the same way I got THRILLED when I was just OBESE and now that I am "Slightly overweight" I dont know what to do with myself LOL
Mentally I have a tough time because I still look in the mirror and see that 312 pound girl so I have to get over that. (((Hugs))))

Good Morning all:
Tia: I'm sorry you didn't get everything done but I for one am happy you are back on the boards
Its just not the same without you!
I had a fairly quiet weekend myself: although I did see My sisters keeper last night:
a bit depressing but a good movie all the same.
Today I am grateful for:
1. My church service yesterday: I had not been in a month and I realized I had really
missed it. Especially since I have so much to be grateful to God for.
2. My RNY- both physical and mental improvements over the last two years.
3. The shot of cortizone on Thursday : truly seems to be helping the shoulder pain
4. Getting back to the Mac: I spent an hour and a half between the pool and hottub on
Saturday and that helped the shoulder as well I am sure. Getting back into the
gym rat routine this week after taking it easy for the past month.
Have a great day everyone

Tia,
Glad to see you back on the boards! Time off rarely leads to lots of things done. I think that is just how the universe works!!!
I had a nice weekend, though a bit boring. spent it with my parents. but i relaxed by the pool, so that is extremely good!
1. Starting my new contractor position on post this week. Hopefully I will hear something today.
2. bought all new kitchen appliances: stove, hood, dishwasher and refrigerator. I get them in two weeks.
3. my new bed is great. i got a new comforter set this weekend and had a wonderful time sleeping in it last night.

Good Morning Everyone,
I am trying to get myself into some kind of routine this week. I sort of let myself slip into a bit of a slug last week and I don't like the feeling.
Tia - How nice for the offer about the get-together in August. I checked my calendar. Did you mean the 22nd or the 23rd, Saturday or Sunday? I have that the 22nd is a Saturday. If it is the 22nd (Sat.), I have another big event that day.
Darla - glad to hear the shot seems to be helping your shoulder. I was at the gym on Saturday as well. Sorry I missed you!
Nic - There is nothing like a perfect bed to get comfy in. Glad you are enjoying it!
Today, I am grateful for....
1 - The continued beautiful weather. It is really hard to believe this is summer in Baltimore. I am amazed that I am getting away without running the air conditioner. I know this can't last, but it is terrific so far and I am saving on the BGE.
2 - My family - I caught up with my out-of-town family yesterday. It is always terrific to speak to them versus online. It is the next best thing to being there (which I want to do so much)!
3 - My friends - Nuff said - I am truly blessed!
Have a super day!
Debbie

Quiet weekend here - we even skipped the fireworks this year - we did cook out, but it was just us...
Grateful posts -
1. Friends - went to a Bingo Event on Friday and although that is not my typical scene we had a blast and laughed all night.
2. Weight Loss - I am so much more able to what I want when I want! No more sitting in the back hiding out!
3. Pools - I love to swim!
Okay off to get hubby moving faster - thinking he went back to sleep in the shower... men!
