MONDAY WHATS HAPPENING!!!!!!!

Another week ,the second for October all ready. Wasn't yesterday a beautiful day? I spent the morning cleaning the outsides of a lot of pots of my flowers that I am going to winter over. Still have some to go . Is a job of cleaning up . Used soap and water on the leaves and making sure the bugs and spiders were all off them. Takes awhile. Our little great niece who will be 6 the end of this month and her mom and dad came down yesterday and as soon as she got out of the car she always runs to me saying (mimi, mimi, I love you) this time when she got to me she put her arms around me and hugged and said ,mimi you lost some of your fluffy. She is so cute. Wish more of this fluffy would leave quicker. Lol The scales are slowly going down again after remaining the same for almost a week. That was sort of discouraging but that is ok . I know there will be times like that . It is sort of like your body has to catch up with it all. Barbara: yeah I think I am doing a little better. I have sort of gotten a schedule made up and found that one thing that is helping me on my water intake is that I bought some 16 oz crystel light bottles premixed and saved them. The smaller bottles don't seem as big and as much I guess. Because I am able to get more of them down. I got down 4 of them yesterday so that isn't bad at all. I think having huge big bottles of water got me sort of discouraged about how much to drink. Anyway 64 oz of jus****er is doing ok . Plus my two protein shakes of 8 oz of soy milk each makes it be 80oz of liquid. I also ate oatmeal for breakfast. Found the little packages of the weigh****chers kind . Got the cinnamon and the banana bread flavors. Very good. One little package was about 2 bites more than I could force down but I am trying. Had a ¼ cup of cottage cheese with pineapple for lunch and also a slice of cheese. Supper I tried a tiny piece of bar b q rib but couldn't take that. Had a tblspoon of potato salad and made myself a ½ cup of refried beans with cheese and salsa on the side. Lol. So I had a pretty good day yesterday. Will just have to try and keep that up today. Seemed like all I did yesterday was eat. Melissa: hope your brother is doing well. I know he has to be in a lot of pain. The broken ribs are very painful and not a lot they do about it except time. I think I am going to buy some van. Ice cream flavor of the protein mix today when we come into Springfield and use the syrups and fruits to flavor it. I am sort of tired of just chocolate. I have a whole tub of cookies and cream protein mix that I have only taken out about no more than 5 or 6 drinks that Im not really crazy about . Like I said I think I am burnt out on chocolate flavor. Were you not able to find the Davinci syrups in wal-mart? That is where I found mine at. They are really good arent they? Sherr: Is your fever down now? Hope it was just because you were tired and woreout. I bet you thought you would never get home didn't you? I think I would have thought about pulling over and getting a place for the night somewhere. Lol Glad your son unloaded for you. Now you know you arent suppose to be picking up anything over 10 pounds for a little while don't you? If you don't follow those rules you will get yourself a hernia and that isn't fun. Anyway welcome home . Now the real work begins. Rest and be sure and drink lots . Get out and walk. This is beautiful weather to walk in so start walking girl. Today is going to be a busy day for us. I have my second appointment for the shots in my knees again today. Ouch!!!! They don't really hurt but they don't feel great either. Lol Then I have some things I need to do in Springfield, like go to Food 4 less and get some new flavored protein drink. I still need that since I cant get enough food in to do with out it. An then the support meeting is tonight at 5:30 Hopefully some of you that go will want to go out for coffee later. Hope everyone had a wonderful week end. We did . And the weather couldn't have been more lovely. But prepare for the cold we are going to be getting this week. The first blast of winter. Brrrrr that is what they say but may change their minds before it gets here. Lol Have a great day today. Make it all it can be and all you hope for. LOVE AND JOY AND PEACE ABOUNDS JAN

Good morning Jan From the sounds of it you have everything covered keep up the good work! After church yesterday we all went to Red Lobster, I had broiled flounder and a tiny taste of slaw and some rice pilaf, and two shrimp from my daughter's meal was it ever good, I had to bring it home because I couldn't eat it all so I had the rest for dinner last night, all that good old protein. It felt funny sitting there eating basically what everyone else was eating NO PUREED FOOD Well I had better get the day started, praying everyone have a blessed one! Barbara T.

Good Morning Everyone: How was everyones weekend?? I thought it was so beatiful this weekend. I was sitten out on my front porch earlier and someone walked by and you could hear the crunch crunch sounds of the dry leaves. I just love the fall weather!!! Going to clean house today. Hopefully get some errands run. And keeping my fingers crossed that I get to make it to the support meeting in Springfield tonight. Jan: Yes I have seen the sryups at Wal Mart but they only carry 3 or 4 flavors. If you go to http://www.davincigourmet.com/ and check out their SF products they have approx 50 differnet flavors or better. YUMMY!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day!!! I am going to get busy and get my day started. God Bless Melissa Faith doesn't get you around trouble, it gets you through it !!

Momma Jan & Crew.... Well, I know it's late, been busy today.... THought I felt well enough to go out to town today, went and got my hair cut, and was in Fred's and got REALLY sick.... I had to come straight home. Weirdest feeling..... sweety and hot....felt fluish... But rested a while and feel better. I hate to admit it, but I got something similiar to a "Dorthy Hamil" hair cut today.....I know...about 30 years outta style, but waaaayyyy less hot. I am under 250 first time this year...WOOT WOOT...still, huge I KNOW....this local fella I have been talking to on the phone with since May, and he has coninuously asked me out, I finally came "clean" with him and told him a.) I am fat and b.) I just had WLS.... He is supposed to come over and watch movies with me this weekend. I don't know how it will turn out, but if he bolts now, when I am fat, what was to stop him from bolting later when I am not? He's a "Red Neck" boy, and I know what they say about RN Boyz LOL.....almost humourous how different we sound, and the things we are about, but he seems really nice.... By then, I can eat EGGS.....wondering what I could make for dinner that a man would eat, when I am limited to Eggs, Cottage Cheese, Creamed Soup etc....LOL Wish me luck xoxo S
