3 THINGS FOR FRIDAY
Today, I'm grateful for:
1. A day off. Even if it's unpaid. I'm going out with my hs bff tonight, so that should be fun!
2. Flavored hot tea - YUM! Cupid's Arrow - Cherry, vanilla and almond flavors - VERY soothing!
3. Red nail polish - I don't know why - it's just a cheery color!!! I do self-manicures and must have about 200 bottles of polish, but it's always fun to try a new one!! LOL!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!! Stay warm!
Hugs,
Tia
Yes it is cold!!!!!! I got up & made Kels some hot oatmeal before she had to leave & took the dogs out & thought, HOLY CRAP tomorrow I will be in water colder than this! LOL
Today is a rough one for me.... a year ago my cousin was found hanging in his girlfriends closet. I was at the knee doctor having my stitches removed when I got the call that he was on lifesupport at Shock Trauma. A few short hours later, his father pulled the plug because he was gone. But at least I was there to say I love you & see ya later. There are still no answers in this.....police have not been able to answer was it suicide or murder.....too many factors & no cooperation from her.
Today I am grateful for:
1} fond memories of Jason. He was one of the most gentle people you would ever meet....even tho looking him was a bit scarey....tats everywhere, piercings, and crazy hair. I miss you J & love you still!
2} Family.....we all need each other today & I know we will all be there for one another.
3}Friends....again, they are always around when I need them & when I dont!
4} that its one day closer to having this plunge over with! Probably take me a week to get some heat bck in my body! LOL
Have a great weekend!

No Matter How I May Change, I Will Still Be ME!!!!
Heather, I agree it is cold. I am sorry about Jason this happened with my Aunt as well. I still say she did not hang herself. I think her damn husband did it. I went to see a psychic and she told me she saw a man with a bird tattoo on his arm with a pillow over her face. I called the police and wanted the case reopened but was told it has been to long. I want him to pay so bad.
I hope you have fun at the plunge. I sent my donation but am unsure if they got it. I did not see the cashed check yet. Drink lots of coffee so you will hopefully stay warm.
So true about family and even more true about friends.
I am sending you a hug. You sound like you could use one or maybe a dozen.
Take care and hope you are feeling better & remember I am sure Jason loves and misses you to.
Julie
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.
One thing I want to say about tomorrow's plunge is back out now!!! LOL It is going o be snowing tomorrow. You are NUTS but I love you anyway!
Big hugs and I pray you can feel your fingers and toes the very same day! lol

1. - My RNY - every day something happens that reminds me just who much healthier I am since it. Today it's the baggy pants that just 6 weeks ago I couldn't fit into and the shirt I bought several years ago, ignoring that it didn't really fit because I liked it. Now it fits just fine. I know the numbers on the scale are likely to slow down soon - but for now I can't get too concerned about that. (Someone throw this in my face when I have my first whine about a stall - and you all know it's going to happen, lol)
2. - Sena. Ok it's an ugly truth I am learning that my intestines aren't processing waste quite as well as they did pre-op. (Man I was a machine back then, reminds me of the old computer maxim - garbage in, garbage out.) And sometimes it's more than uncomfortable it's painful. My friend Sena always seems to take care of this when it gets out of hand.
3. - Sleep. I have had a couple of weeks of restless sleep. The last week or so, I've been struggling to keep my eyes open after 9:30 - but I am sleeping great through the night. Good sleep can certainly help put your mind right for facing the day.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
Although the scale may pause here and there, your numbers certainly won't be coming to a complete stop for a good while!! Isn't that so cool? I remember actually feeling kind of sad because I had SO many clothes that I just sailed right past - I ended up trying clothes on every single week because I was losing so rapidly.
Trust me, honey, NO ONE'S innards process the same way anymore. A lot of people have to help things along!
Speaking of sleep, since I'm off today, I see a nap in my future before I go out tonight!
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Tia
Trust me I had the same issuea nd my husband too. But the good thing is that it will get better down the line.
Our surgeon suggested we take benefiber fiber 3 times a day to help. That way it keeps you regular until you can add more fiber in your diet.
Benefiber was our best friend for the 1 year post op! LOL
I hope you get to rest this weekend.
Great job on the weight loss you are doing fantastic!

It was 18 degrees this morning! It is 22 and it feels like 10 degrees.
Today I am grateful for:
1. Gino being healthy after having his RNY.. No more high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol meds. No more sleep apnea no more c-pap machine. I am glad that he is able to celebrate his 46th birthday today feeling like he is 29!
2. TGIF
3. my circle of friends love you all so much!
Have a great day and stay warm.
