Wild Wednesday!

Good Morning everyone.  Deb must be exercising this morning, so I will throw a post on here just to see how everyone is doing.

I will cop out on the QOTD and just ask for one rant and one rave.  I know, I'm taking the easy way out!

Rant-Unprofessional ism from everyone....my boss, my coworkers, my babysitter.....it drives me insane.

Rave-Good weather today, and the fact that we're one day closer to the weekend.  And my hair turned out pretty good today.  LOL

Hope you have a good one!

Good morning Brenda,
Deb hurt her foot and wasn't at exercise this morning. We missed her in spin class.
I'm sure she will be here shortly....

Rant: Can't think of one, I'm just too darn positive! Feel great from the exercise this AM

Rave: Glad I got my exercise in this morning. Will do a 3 mile walk during break-time. Plan to pamper myself today with a mani/pedi...non-food reward for "Just Because"

So today...how about all of us pampering ourselves with a non-food reward???
What's it gonna be?

I'm in for a mani after work!

Morning all

Very tired this morning, and not sure why.  Wondering if I haved a touch of a flu bug, on my way to work, extreme nausea came over me.  So I am sipping some peppermint tea to help overcome it.

RANT - I will second your unprofessionalism in the office.  We got hit with a sexual harrassment lawsuit about 1.5 years ago and it was living he** for most of the office and ended in a termination of an employee.  After everything that we were questioned on, and coached on afterwards, I still have a staff member that goes over the limit on a regular basis.  I have talked to my boss about my feelings on this, but it goes no where.  I would love to go higher to HR at corporate, but my local office only has 3 people and I don't want to get my boss mad at me for going over his head. 

RAVE - would be my best friend.  She keeps me laughing, and generally about stupid stuff she has done.  No offense to blondes, but she is a bottled blonde, and lives up to the blonde stereotype.

Have a nice one everyone

Pam

 

Good Morning Brenda,
     I haven't posed for a while on this forum, but I do check out the postings from time to time. thought this was a good time to say hi to everyone and wow I am impressed with how well many of you have done. Yes, that includes you, Brenda! I know you don't see yourself as a success, but I don't see you as a failure. I see a woman who's life has changed for the better! Isn't that what WLS is all about? I refuse to measure success by pounds lost, but rather by life gained.

    Now for my many other friends here. I keep an eye out for your postings and updates. So many of you have done great. Some of you have made me jealous! Stay the course, your successes inspire us all.

So my rant is measuring  our success in pounds lost; my rave is the success of the people here in the Michigan Forum.

Very well said Nick.

I agree whole heartedly.  I don't ever think I will hit my surgeons goal for me, but I am down 120 pounds and I feel 100% better than I did 2 years ago.

Pam

Hi Nick! 
Long time no see! 
I miss you!

Hi Brenda and everyone! Thanks for the post. I did post earlier, but I lost my internet connection and the post. Then I had to run to the dentist. So I'm back!!!!
Rant-The crazy post-fill diet my doctor has you follow after a band fill. Doesn't he realize that you can't do clear liquids for two days, then full for two days! I had a fill yesterday and am starving!!
Rave-Girlfriends! My best friend Deb who is the greatest and my best workout buddy. Don't know what I'd do without her.
Deb

Good morning all!

I had protein ice cream for my pre-breakfast commute.  Then coffee and now my real breakfast of fruit and cheese.  My ears are popped, so that means I'm slightly dehydrated - I'll push water later.

RANT -- Having to work.  Seriously after having 5 days off work I just want to be independently wealthy so I don't have to work to pay my bills.  I mean... I like my job and all, but I really enjoy NOT working much more.  If only we didn't need money for everything.

RAVE -- Cold Food!  When the weather is like this and it's all summery and stuff, I really enjoy having meals that are cold.  Salad or deli turkey or ice cream or fruit and cheese... I just hate eating hot food when it's hot outside. 

Have a good day all!
Pam

Good morning!

My usual decaf and protein is gone, I'm on Diet Lipton Green Tea.

Rant:  My exercise has dropped WAY off in the past few weeks.  My life has been chaotic and my schedule is all knocked off kilter!  I have to get back into a routine - and real quick!  My weight loss has gone down to a trickle... 1 lb in the past month - ugh!  I KNOW its because of my lack of exercise and my  "less than stellar" eating lately.

Rave:  Going on a date last night and having him tell me I'm "HOT" - WOOHOO!!  LOL.
