Tuesday Coffee
Good Morning everyone!
The coffee pot is on and I'm waiting for a big mug of decaf and black, soon.... What's brewing for you?
QOTD-What's been your best NSV (non-scale victory) lately? Mine has been keeping the exercise going despite achieving my big goal (doing the DALMAC). Before I would quit exercise after I did something big, but I've continued biking outdoors. Yesterday I bundled up and rode for over an hour. Felt good, but a little nippy on the earlobes
Have a good one!

I am drinking water again. Tummy is still just a bit off and I did well with a very light diet yesterday so think I'll continue it today.
The apple mill meet up is this next weekend. I wanted to go but looks like I need to go the other direction to see mom. I hope all who get to go have a blast!
Have a great day everyone

Good Morning!
I'm having a cup of raspberry protein hot chocolate . . so Yummy!
I'm starting to get bored, I'm not one for just sitting around. My mom took me on an outing to get a few sweat pants yesterday . . I wasn't sure what this TT would entail and thought I would be back in my jeans in a week or two. I don't see that happening for some time. . . but not complaining.
QOTD- I think having the courage for the TT . . I had canceled twice before . . I was pretty scared and even when I was waiting for them to get the IV in for the surgery I thought about just leaving but I knew I would never be approved again by my insurance if I left . . I am looking forward to getting back into my exercise routine but I'm sure that is off in the distance. . . . I will be leaving my parents "Club Med" on Friday after my next doc appointment for home it's time!
Enjoy the day . . GO TIGERS!

Good morning, everyone. I am starting 12 hour shifts, three in a row, so am worried about how the long days and extra days off will affect my eating. Wish me luck. I wish I could meet up with all of you but I will be in Chicago this weekend.
QOTD-What's been your best NSV (non-scale victory) lately? Put my winter coat on from last year and it bags on me-too big to wear without looking sloppy.

Hello Michiganders!
My cup is already empty. had my new CVS vanilla protein with Almond breeze, a banana, a table spoon of chopped walnuts, 1/2 tsp of cake spice, blended with 2 ice cubes.
I am getting pretty good at this concocting stuff. Like a mad scientist I am.
QOTD: Being disciplined. I am surprised at how on task I have been. I am harder on my self than ever before. I guess that since I decided to have WLS, I said I better stay serious. Maybe it is because I know that with the WLS I will be in better control of the Yo-Yo syndrome. Maybe it is because I let myself get to this point and I have said enough is enough!
Check out the Here is you sign post. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
some are asking where at the mill should we meet.

Good Morning to all,
I had a grape protein drink this morning with Vitamins, I am trying to decide between oatmeal or chili for breakfast.....
QOTD- Getting back to the gym for sure. I have been a slacker and It feels good to be going back again. I even walked a bit this morning after the gym. I hope you all have a great day!

Whwhwhooooooo!! It's Tuesday and I'm here kicking it at work today. It's been busy, we are doing flu shots for the volunteers this week and my phone is ringing off the hook.
I'm sitting here drinking Pumpkin coffee...I love this stuff. Gotta run to Sam's Club and see if they have more in stock. It's yummy.
Woke up at 3am today, why??? I think I was having a hot-flash!! Let all 4 dogs out then 3 of them curled up on the couch with me. Then Miss Kitty had to join in the fun. I need a bigger couch!
QOTD: Okay, I'm gonna say it's going on a cruise in November with hubby and 2 friends. Celebrating our 1 yr. wedding anniversary one month early. This will also be our Christmas gifts to each other. Just have to get Hummer enthused about going on a ship. Once he's on the ship he will have fun.

Good morning all -
My coffee has gone cold. I hate when that happens. But breakfast is coming soon...
QOTD - at almost 2 years post-op the wow moments are few and far between... and I've been a bit discouraged lately - by the lack of movement on the scale, not being able to walk or workout like I want to because of my knee and being too busy to take care of myself or even hear myself think straight.
BUT - After a week of overtime everyday... I put in two 14 hour days Friday and Saturday. And during those days I was unloading huge boxes of merchandise out of the back of box trucks, then helping to reload it all at the end; schleping crap and hauling tables and running around like a mad woman. I was tired after it was done but a good night's sleep and a day of taking it easy ... and I was back at it again on Monday. Before surgery I could have done all that too... but it would have taken me 3 or 4 days to recover from that kind of physical and mental activity. I think about the days when I was a wedding planner and would put in long days like that and I'd be sore for the whole following week.
So Deb.... thanks for today's question. It forced me to realize that even when I'm not paying attention to NSVs - or when I'm feeling down about the lack of progress - WOW moments are still happening and I just need to realize how much more my body can do now that I'm not carrying around the extra 100+ pounds.

The scale can measure the weight of my body but never my worth as a woman. ~Lysa TerKeurst author of Made to Crave
Amen to that Pam.
I guess what Pam said is true for me. I too am almost 2 years out, I'll still get OMG's when a vendor or patient hasn't been in the office in a year, but the scale has been extremely disappointing lately. I've actually gained about 8 lbs. in the past 2 months. Now I will admit that I've had more candy and ****tails than normal, but no where near the extra 25,600 calories that would become 8 lbs!! So I'm getting frustrated. I also can't, or let's say couldn't, work out for a few weeks, but now that all of that is over I can jump back on that machine, but of course I have a cold now and I'm lucky I'm getting to work and keeping the house up right now.
Ok, I'm done whining, thanks for listening.....geez Deb thanks LOL!

Good Morning everyone ..Was out hunting early this AM. No Luck !!! It's raining hard the rest of the day here!!! Had coffee and Breakfast at our local diner today. Trying to keep busy the rest of the day inside.
QOTD-What's been your best NSV (non-scale victory) lately?
I would say the same a Pam. After 2 years out they are few and far between and at my age I take any I get. My last was a new pair of shoe's my foot shrunk one size and a size in the width .
Have a great day.....Go Tigers !!!
