WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY

New Years Day….yeah someone said it seems funny that my resolution this year has nothing to do with losing weight.I haven’t lost as much as a lot of people have but I guess I didn’t need to , not according to pictures of me and of my face. (oh my gosh) wrinkle city. Well they helped me to decide that if im going to go thru the pain of

Plastic surgery it is going to be on my face, the part that others see. And the part that will make the biggest impact. The part that will let others see me and the way I really feel. Healthy and happy and even young, but what they see,(if the cameras don’t lie is

Tired, sick and old even decrepit. Got to get that fixed . lol  anyway back to New Years Resolution, this is my year to work on me and the way I treat people , remembering to say , thank you, I appreciate you, I love you, not to just friends but to also family. I have noticed that I don’t say these things to my family nearly as much as I do others. So that is my resolution this year. What is yours?

 

Well we did all the traditional things today, we watched the parade , ate black eyed peas, hog jowl and cornbread, when out and cut a load of wood, who for we don’t know but will have it for someone if they need it.

So everything has been done to make us have a good 2008 . Old things die hard don’t they? Lol

I had Joe bring in the big box I just put all the summer clothes in that was out in the shed so I can put together some summer clothes to take on the Cruise. I think I will have to go buy Joe some shorts as it has been awhile since I have bought him any and think most of what he has is too ragged to take on board. Wonder where I can find some at this time of year?

 

JANET: I hope you are reading this and that you are well enough to get on and post something. I really am worried about you.

 

My granddaughter , her husband and 2 babies , that live in our trailer are on their way to visit his family in In. they just called me and said that they already have 12 inches of snow on the ground there and are expecting another 12 inches over night. Good grief. I told them they have their vacations mixed up your suppose to go south in the winter and north in the summer. Lol  I sure hope they will be alright they have about 2 hours to go yet to get there.

 

 

JENNIFER:     You have had your ups and downs this past year but then that is life I do think huh? I am really proud of you with your exercising and weight loss , keep up the good work.

You will love the carribbean.  Wear that bikini ….yeah!!!

 

 

 

TAMMY: Im sorry you didn’t make your goal for the new year but this next year will be supper great for you I know.  Try adding more protein, water and exercise and you will be surprised how much good that does.

You have had an awesome amount of weight come off. That is a good size person you have lost.

 

 

TRACI: wow sorry about another sick baby. That seems to be the life of mothers doesn’t it? Or that is it is you have more than one child.

Will be praying that you all quit passing it back and forth.

 

 

VESTA: Yeah this is our third cruise. And we are booking one to Alaska for probably August …we have both wanted to see all of that up there for ever so long. The whales, the ice bergs, the wild life. The inner passage. I just cant imagine it.

 

I looked at your profile and you are looking absolutely fantabulous. Wow. Wish I could see you in person again.

124 pounds that is a lot of weight girl. Good for you.lol part of that was having all that stuff cut out….lol just kidding. Really proud of you.

It does seem weird to not have to make a new years resolution about your weight doesn’t it? Hope your new year is great too.

 

 

           BEVERLY ; It was really cold here today too and suppose to be even colder tonight. Down into the teens. But at least we don’t have the snow they are having in Indianna.

Hope the new year brings you all sorts of good things.

 

CONNIE: LOL me be a motivational speaker?  I don’t think so . Would be nice to know I could do it tho. Thanks for the compliments.

My knee is getting better , I am keeping ice on it a lot to decrease the swelling, that is what is causing most of the discomfort I do think.

Keep praying for me I really appreciate it.

   

 

MARTHA: welcome to the Missouri Board.  You are doing the right thing by going to see your surgeon and to rule out anything physical.  I don’t know a lot about the lapband except we do have a lot of people on here that have had it and they can maybe give you some support on it.  Jennifer maybe you could please help her some. I will pray for you and your test you have to do. Please let us know how things go and what your doctor says. Ok?

 

HUGS AND BLESSINGS

JAN

Well I hope everyone has a good New Year!  I will be leaving today to go to Sedalia.  We are staying in a hotel.  Wish me luck. Make room on the losers bench. Kelly Thies

Morning everyone BRRRRRR - it's cold out there this morning!  Air temp of 5 and windchill of MINUS 7 here at my house this morning.  Jan:  my youngest (5) has been sick since last Saturday with strep.  She was still running fever yesterday and then in the middle of the night, I was up with my 7 year old daughter complaining she wasn't feeling well.  We should have just gotten antibiotics for all three of these kids (which we normally do), but we did not.  So I'll have to call the doctor and have him call some in; because it looks like they're passing it around.     And yes, being a mom of many children (6), and even though I only have 3 still at home - that enough.  There's always someone it seems with a cold or something and of course, my children share germs quite well.  I have a busy day ahead with rearranging my bedroom, as I'm moving up from a queen to king size bed.  Then I need to work on my Sunday school lesson for this week and I have a teleconference  this evening.  Have a great day everyone!

It is very cold out side! I am starting to feel better. I have been sick with  my sinuses. Missed Church Sunday and I spent my New Year Eve in bed. Got a lot of house work that needs done. Working on Support group and Red Hat stuff, plus I am trying to make myself a revised plan for eating and getting in all those vitamins and water. I reached my goal of 100 pounds by Christmas, and now I need to work on setting up a plan I can live with to lose the remining 50 pounds. I need to also hone in on my exercise program. I am hoping our next support group will help me.  We will be having a personal trainer visit Monday evening.   I pray your children are feeling well soon and that you stay well also.  God bless and Happy New Year.  Hope to see you Monday. 

Hi Gayle - that's awesome that you made your 100 lb goal by Christmas!!!!  Great job!!!!!  I hope I can be there Monday.  My husband is switching to 2nd shift at some point this month, and he will no longer be home in the evenings.  Soooo - I may not be able to continue coming to the evening meetings.  We'll see how it all works out. 

Hi all!!! Yeah Yeah I know I snuck in the backdoor and noone seen me coming HEHE.....Well we are home THANK GOD!!!!!
