Monday Morning

I'm  drinking water today as I am getting rid of a 12# winter gain.   
 This time of year if I don't like todays weather  I check weatherbug forecast and find a day I will like the weather better.    I'm  looking forward to Thurs. 68 degree forecast!    I'M  visiting my mom that day   Maybe I can take her on a picnic.   She loves picnics and I just want to spend time with her. 
Gussie  Ill be praying for you and your husband.  Hope every thing goes well for him.

Good morning all!

Someone at the coffee place switched the vanilla steamer in the machine... they must have accidently loaded the vanilla slot with hazelnut.  Yuck!  So my fake vanilla latte doesn't taste very vanilla-y.

This week?  Another busy one for me.  Tonight is the Flint support group meeting then chores and housework when I get home.  Tomorrow is homework because I didn't spend enough time on it over the weekend.  Wednesday is class (6pm-10pm).  Thursday is the WLS Crim Walking Training group meet up.  Friday I need to do some moss harvesting (yes, I'm picking moss out of the forest) and packing up the stuff to teach the class on Saturday (making terrariums).  Sunday is wide open and I don't plan to schedule anything but relaxation and downtime. 

Morning all,

I am at work, sipping some Crystal Lite Citrus - its orangy lemon lime.  Not a fav, but something different.

Spent most of my day yesterday laying around.  Not sure why or how, but apparently I have a pinched nerve.  I have a wonderful tingly numb sensation down my left leg and into my toes  and on the bottom of my right foot.  I have a dull ache in my hip that sometimes travels to my lower back.  The only time I have relief is if I am laying down,  or sitting with my feet up and an ice pack on my lower back/hip area.  Have an appt with my doc tomorrow for my synvisc for my left knee so wil see what he has to say. 

Michigan weather, all I can say, is I want Saturday back quickly.  As my son said this morning, its alot easier being active when its nice outside.  Yes he is 5.  I am trying to install good habits, so currently we are working towards being active every day for 2 weeks - then he gets to pick a reward.  He is also working on trying new foods - kinda a picky eater.  Foods for this week include broccoli, asparagras and hamburger.  When he asked for broccoli, he asked if we could use alot of spray butter on it .  (I use I can't believe its not butter spray).  Fine with me. 

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hey Pam,

My little one loves Pickled Beets!  And also, get this, CHEESE!  Can you believe it???

Hope your back feels better now.  Take it easy.

Good Morning/afternoon everyone :) I am now drinking water.  I had my pre-op blood draw today( 6 vials) Yikes.  I need to get many things done this week, My surgery is on Monday so I have been cleaning like crazy.  I think I have nested more for this surgery than I did for either one of my pregnancys. :)  I am with everyone else on the weather.  I am just going to ignore it, I even wore flip flops today.  I lost 5# pounds last week with my liquid fast, and now I have one more week to go.  I am hoping for another 5.  Hope everyone has a great day!!  Lisa

Good Luck getting ready for Monday and your surgery.  Good job on the 5# lose too.

Well this is the start of a busy week.  Today I went shopping for something to wear in the ring at the dog show next weekend.  I don't have any clothes that fit me because I've gained so much weight.  I don't want to spend a lot on clothes until after my surgery and weight loss.  I went to a resale shop, but couldn't find anything, then to Dots, Meijers, Salvation Army and Walmart.  I've had no luck finding anything appropriate.
Tomorrow I go for my breast ultra sound.  Hopefully everything will be ok. 
Wednesday I meet with my surgeon.  I've been waiting for this day for a long time now.  Hopefully he'll give me a surgery date.
Hope everyone can make the best of this rainy dreary day.

Good Luck tomorrow!
