Needed a fix

Hi ya'll, just stopping by, 2 days in a row, oh oh!!! see how good I am at sticking to a plan?  hehe, anyway, wanted to let you know how i've been doing.  I've be working out on our new Wii Fit, it is so much fun, not boring at all like real exercise.  even been running and earning points, and hoola hooping,  (so much fun watching to guys do hoola hooping) did my belly dancing this week, which was much more fun, less people.  Diet wise i'm doing well, staying in my calorie range, still no weight loss, but no gain, so this is good.  I"ve called today for another  fill, this should put me at 5 cc's, and i'm sure this will put me at my "Sweet Spot".  My fill will be on Dec. 4th, this will certainly help me thru xmas too.  Had big meeting this week, the the state cuts, I'm getting hit really hard, might choose to go back to work 2 days a week, DH says, NO WAY, I LOVE having you home.  But we'll see???  I wanted to wish all you guys who have been having problems, Ruth, hope the meds and what dr. did helps and you never have another pouchie problem, all you newbies are doing so awesome with such great success, Congratulations.  and you guys who are soon to be on the loosers bench,  wishing you BIG SUCCESS too.  DH is having hip replacement in 2 weeks, Yah!!!! he'll be home for a while, can't wait to watch all his fav. shows and watch him play his silly games all day longggggg... I"m thinking, maybe a job would not be such a bad idea.  wipeing his ass and giving him a sponge bath is not my idea of fun.  He's a pretty hairy guy, and washing his back makes me feel like I'm playing with that little magnit thingie we used to play with, you know shake it and it all goes away, you can make the guy a beard or hair on head??? YOu know.  I'm thinking I should shave him before surgery???  What you think???  ok, so one question before I go.... What is your favorite Thanksgiving/leftover recipe.  Thanks and hugs to all,  HOpe you have a great Holiday,

Cheryl

Oppps!  p.s.  my fav recipe is Soup, I take it all (gravey, turkey meat, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, water, salt, pepper) boil it all on low for an hour, then add egg noodles.  Makes a wonderful soup to have with Turkey sandwich.  and easy to freeze so not eating turkey for 7 days in a row.

Hi   Mammag   Nice to see you!!!

I just got done making   cheese  cakes.  with splenda of course.

One is  key lime and the other two  are  choc and vanilla mix

i cheat and use graham  cracker crusts but the family  dont mine.
I will get my stuffing ready tomorrow as the bird is going  on in the electric  oven at midnite so that it will be   nice and done in the morning.

One son is bringing  salad,   the other is doing the potatoes and  peas and mushrooms and honey

Dads wife is   making  a  apple  pie   and supplying the house

I still need to buy peas and   brown and serve rolls

But that is it.

After i eat  i am heading to my sisters in Canada on Sunday.

Be back on Tuesday    

have a great day!!!!

Hi Cheryl!
Great to see you posting!  You've been missed A LOT!

Thanks for your well wishes.........I appreciate it!

Good luck with your fill!  I hope it IS your "SWEET SPOT"!!  You deserve it!  I'm so proud of you for doing the Wii fit and maintaining your calories!  YOU ROCK!     (I finally bought the kid's Wii-------for Christmas-------and mom confided to me that she found the Wii Fit for me for Christmas.........SO, I can't wait!!!!!)

Wish your DH the best with his surgery!  I'm sure it will all be fine!  (I say shave his back!  haha!!!   or........have his insurance pay for home health aides and let THEM bathe him and shave his back......hahaha!)

Sorry to hear about the stuff with the state and budget cuts!  I think it's gonna be a rough winter!!!!!  NOT GOOD!!!!

All the best!  Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs!
Ruth

Cheryl,   We needed a Cheryl fix just as much as you did!  I am so proud of you!  You have done awesome on your exercise and staying with the calorie range! Keep it going!  I am sure this fill will be the "One"!! 

Also, best wishes to your DH for a speedy recovery with his hip surgery.  As for the shaving, yeah see if you can get a nurse to come in.... Hee Hee!

Hey Cheryl...You go girl !! 
Sounds like "things" are really starting to move in your favor ~ which is a good thing 

I don't think you should shave your DH...
I think you should practice your cosmotology skills... 
You could give him lil' curls where he's never had 'em before 

Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving Day !!

Hey, I helped a friend through hip replacement - she was 55 at the time. I was totally stunned how quickly she was up, around and self sufficient after the surgery. The back hair......depends on how well behaved he is - shave for good behavior, wax for bad behavior!

I like leftover casserole, laying turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing - all the good stuff in one dish.... not very wls friendly though....

Sorry about you cutbacks. It's so scary - for me, with a major bank laying off 53000 this week. I'm not complaining about my job much lately, just grateful to have one.
