Monday, Monday!
Good Monday Morning to everyone!
Waking up to a great cup of coffee! What are you waking up to?
Had a great weekend-did the bike ride in Chelsea on Saturday and watched the grandbaby that night. Did very little on Sunday excep****ched the World Cup Soccer game...
QOTD-Rants or raves this morning? I'm really liking Skinny Cow Ice Cream. So good and so few calories and fat. I'm also raving the OH Michigan forum as the community is always there for you, even if you don't stop in for awhile. I'm also raving the texting and driving law. It's about time!!! My only rant is that I went to Target yesterday and there were school supplies out already. What happened to summer????
Have a good one..

I'm up and at 'em, drank a glass of iced decaf w/skim milk during my recumbent bike exercise. Was so bad last week about my exercise, find it very easy not to do it, and then I'm out of the habit.... I still am hoping to get up to 10 miles a day -- right now I am doing a bit over 4 miles. Gonna take determination and dedication! I am working on getting off a 20 lb. regain.....so ashamed of myself.
Off to work shortly, then a dental appt. this afternoon. Temps in the low 80's down here in Sturgis -- a welcome relief from what's expected the rest of the week.
Have a Marvelous Monday!

Done! Your Ticker:
Good Morning everyone. I haven't been by in a while. No reason I guess. I haven't been online much is all. I am about to drink my protein coffee and have breakfast.
QOTD-I am excited to try the Kashi protein cereal when I see it in stores. I seen the commercial last night. I am always looking for protein because my dietician says that is the only thing I am really lacking. I am doing good otherwise. The weight is still not coming off but I did finally get the answers I needed. I am to comsume 1200 calories per day. I found this out after a recent metobolic rate test. I fear I been taking in a lot more than that what with the junk food and diet coke. However, I cut back on both after switching to diet pepsi which I can't stand. I tend to drink less now and get in more water. I had tried cold turkey and weening and such but so far this is working the best.
Deb-I know school just let out didn't it! I'm not ready mentally or financially for back to school shopping lol.

Morning all,
Finished my protein shake and vit's then on to my iced tea in an hour.
Today I'm going to see my old weight loss Dr., Dr. Rifai. I love this man, he is such a cheerleader, always wants the best for me. I went thought his weight loss program for 1.5 years trying to avoid surgery. Alas I had my RNY and when I called for my first post op appointment I was told he left the practice, in fact he left the state and ran the Pritikan Institutes nutrition division in FLA for a year (I'm sure he had a non compete clause with his past employer, so he left during that time). Anyways, he's back and I'm seeing him today! I can't wait! I know some of you think I'm crazy, but that man struggled with me trying to loose and he didn't get to see my finally succeed, I felt kinda sorry for him. All that work with me and he didn't get to celebrate my victories!
Q: Raves.....life!, I had Friday off and it just set the pace for the whole weekend. I got everything done but at a pace where I could stop and read a book, take a nap.....life is good.
Pat, Jimi and the rest of us struggling to get back on the bike (literally in Pat's case) good luck to us, we can do it!
Have a great day all,
Edie

Good Morning All,
Just finished some hot cider. My shower is next and then hopefully the treadmill.
Raves: Still on vacation.
Have nothing planned today.
Rants: I like chocolate now. Was not a fan before wls. Now I crave it, and give in.
My work keeps putting off the switch. I now go almost day to day what I work
instead of a three week schedual. I don't like that at all.
I have to make 2 more trips to Detroit this week. I am not a fan of the City.

School Supplies? Ummm.... I went to Hobby Lobby on Saturday and they were putting out their CHRISTMAS supplies! So I'd welcome school supplies if it means that Christmas stuff stays in the warehouse for another couple months. LOL!
It was a good weekend here. Since I worked so hard last weekend painting the living room and cleaning the house, I determined that I wasn't going to do much this weekend. I did a bit of chores and cooking and housework... but not much. There was a lot of "soaking up the sun" going on though. I hit the in-town, pathetic-little-park beach twice this weekend. Way too many rowdy kids and over-zealous lifeguards and not enough peace and solitude for my liking.... but there was sand under my toes and when I looked up from my book I saw water. So it counts as beach time. For you local folks - I'm talking about Haithco Park.
QOTD -- My rave involves seagulls today. Yesterday at the "beach" I arrived around 5:00 and the lifeguards go off duty at 7:30, so they clear the water and everyone packs up and goes home. But the park stays open until 9:00, so I stayed put and continued reading on the beach after everyone else left. Ahhh, finally some quiet! But the cool thing started about 15 minutes after the water was cleared. Suddenly dozens of seagulls took over the water for bath time. For as much as I hate seagulls, these guys were actually pretty dang cute. And fascinating to watch. They'd be out in the water bathing for a while, then they'd come on shore and dry off each individual feather on their wings and shake like a wet dog. And no fighting over imaginary food - they all just a community bath time. I dunno, it was just pretty cool.
Have a good day all!

The scale can measure the weight of my body but never my worth as a woman. ~Lysa TerKeurst author of Made to Crave
Good Late Afternoon!
I am working afternoon and spend the morning cooking and weighing all my food for the next few days. . . I work 16 hours days Tuesday and Wednesday so I am being prepared with my eating.
QOTD - Raves . . . my scale has moved 12 lbs in the right direction in the last three weeks. I thought it would be much harder to give up the flour and the little sugar I was doing but has been really easy. Both my kids are here in the same State and that doesn't happen often. Grand-daughter is growing like a weed. I am loving all this fresh fruit . . I have a new found love for blueberries!
Pam and gals . . when I went into Hobby Lobby last week and I was head on wth bunch of pumpkins and scarecrows . . I didn't go very far in the store so I missed the Christmas stuff . . oh we have so much nice weather yet . . I am not ready to even think about the Holidays.
Hope you enjoy your evening!
