WHATS HAPPENING FOR WEDNESDAY

   Well the knee held up walking today.and Andy I got in the car and measured it ,,,,was exactly 11/2 miles….and it didn’t seem hard to me did it to you? And we did it in 32 minutes. If I can just keep my knee from quiting on me. The only other thing was that I like to froze. And I need to start carrying some water with me. So am trying to look up my bottle carrier.

Looks like I need to get a new pedometer too. It isnt working right. It said 2.3 miles. And then said only  250 steps so I know that is wrong and I cant get it to reset anymore.

I may write them and see what they will do about it because it is a good  one that Teresa got me for Christmas last year.

 

Hey all you people that are able to get everything down let me know how. If I get all the calories down that I need then I get short or Protein cause I cant put anymore in my pouch. What is the solution. Im really having trouble with balancing this stuff.

1200 calories is a lot of stuff you know. And I refuse to stretch my pouch out for it. The way it is now im eating about every hour just to try to put it all in and no room for protein drinks. and not getting quite as much water as I was either.

 

I dumped on something yesterday don’t know what, was about noon and I started getting really hot and sweaty, and so sleepy I couldn’t hold my head up was so miserable, I went and laid down finally about 3 and slept until midnight… got up did my post and went back to bed and slept till 6 am ….feeling so much better today. I guess that is what I did. Didn’t have any nausea or bowel movements or anything like that , just weak, sweaty, and sleepy. Like someone in a diabetic coma.

\

Joe and I have been doing general cleanup in the yard, getting rid of stuff , burning etc.

Getting a load of stuff ready for the metal place when we get our truck back.

Hopefully it will be all pretty again soon.

He said he could have it done in about a week and  a half. Hope so we are tired of this little bitty car, although it is easy on gas.

 

 

SUGAR::::: It does feel like fall doesn’t it? I love fall too but I love the spring of the year I guess best cause I can get back outside after the cold winter and start planting and seeing new things.

Lol yeah those lilies like that have so many tiny little roots that you cant get them all unless you sift them . and even that isnt a guarantee. That you got them all. is sort of like that blue stuff you have at the other end. Which I would like to have some of that. I have a place that I can put it and it can go crazy or Joe can weedeat it down if it gets outside of the area. Lol

 

I think you should get the bedroom furniture you want . that isnt much for a whole set. But I might break it up some and not get all matchy matchy pieces. Would go together but not completely alike . but that is me. Like my bed is a king size iron bed and my dresser is the antique wooden little dressing table that mama got from me years ago .

I have mamas bedside tables on each side of the bed and am thinking of painting them and destressing them. Like my kitchen cabinets. But  everyone doeasnt like that look.

 

Hey I know you are right about me losing anymore weight . but everyone else meets their goal and I sometimes feel like a failure at the weight loss thing. If Dr. Hormbostel hadn’t said 130 I would have been alright because I would have though about 150 considering my age and all darn…..

Well they can take the fat out of other places and put in your butt so why not in the boobies.

But that isnt anything that I want . I never could stand my big ones when I was fat and I don’t want big ones now either. I m  happy with my b cup , not firmer that would be nice but not bigger. And I know if you have a boob job they always want to make them bigger I would love to have a lower body lift it that would take care of all the excess skin on my torso. That is the excess skin that irritates me.

 

Well Sheila is accounted for , I hope she got back on her way to Sedelia for her surgery.

Brandy is accounted for . now for the other three and Janet. Becky posted a short post.

 

 

PENNI::::You have 3 babies and wanting another one ???? wow !!!! lots of babies there.

You sound very proud of them like a mother hen with her little chicks. Lol

I hope you all have a wonderful time at the fair. Is quite  a treat I would imagine for your kiddos.

 

 

BEC::::: I know you went to Columbia today , hope it wasn’t too tireing. I know you enjoy your sisters company tho. Hope you find some good things at Hobby Lobby and Michaels. I love looking at them. Never know what I want to buy tho. I want to buy the stuff already done lol .

Will be praying for you tomorrow that you pass all their test with flying colors. I know you have been worried about it . I think you will be just fine.

Thanks for letting us see you for just a moment anyway. We all worry when we haven’t hear from any of you in a few days.

 

 

VESTA:::: DAYlilies is the general name for a whole group of lilies. The name comes from the fact that each flower only last a day but each day you get a new flower and they bloom for a couple of months , some for longer , some less. There is all kinds of colors and styles. Some singles , some doubles. Some tall and some are short. Do you know what color you wanted ??? I have some of a lot of different colors and sizes.

 

 

SHEILA:::::: so what is happening , did you get the phone call from Dr. H? I hope you will let us know when you go. Yes the gall bladder surgery is done Lap and you will be fine in probably day or two at the most.

Probably will let you out the next day unless you have had to have pain meds and don’t have anyone to drive you home.

But if you have someone to drive you home it has been let out the same day as surgery.

And usually allowed to go back to work anytime as long as you don’t have to pick up real heavy stuff…anything over 10 pounds…I think.

 

 

 

JEANINE:::::hey wish you would put some pictures up on profile or at least tell us something about yourself on there. Is hard to draw a picture of you without some info.

I want to get to know you as does others.

I had my right knee done in Dec of last year the 7^th or 9^th cant remember which but was walking without even a cane in a week and a half. But I forced myself to do re hab twice as hard as I needed to so it would get well faster.

We left on a cruise was only 3 weeks after surgery and I did fine , the worse part was having to sit in the back seat with my foot elevated on the ride to the shore to catch the boat.

I too feel like I have been behind all spring and summer, so will need to start preparing things for winter early I guess lol

If you haven’t already check out the web site listed under my name with a lot of my flowers posted.

 

 

RENEE::::: well you sound like me with all the falling going on. Sometimes I would swear I was drunk lol .

Are you doing ok from your falls?

I assume you are on your way to Columbia today for your appointment with the wls doctor there. Cant wait for you to report what news you may have.

 

Do you know where the heck is Janet????is she ok??? Have you heard from her???

 

 

ANGELA::::hopefully being here daily will keep you on track ,,,glad to have you back. You were missed …You will have to admit that we never were told this was the easy way out , I guess we will always have to keep track of what we eat and drink..

 

 

DEBBIE  D:::: hey it was neat to talk to you tonight. I hope we have more that are interested in comeing to the reunion, even if it is just for the day.

Yes I love Jack Terry pictures. They are more rural than Kincaid but just as pretty.

Would love to see the emailed pictures of them , don’t think I can afford them but love to see them.

Sorry that Jake has the pink eye, that was really  bad timing. Lol

 

 

ANDY::::: yep we walked a little more but didn’t seem like it did it.

Yes you need to wait till the paint is good and dry but by tomorrow it should be good.

Will get the glaze out and you can practice on a piece of board. It isnt hard and if you get just a little too much on you just lightly bru**** off with a clean rag.

Once that is done then you will need to seal them with poly and be done.

Wont be long now you got the hardest part done.

 

See you in the morning.  Hope Susan is feeling better

 

 

LOVE AND HUGS EVERYONE

GOD BLESS

 

 

 

 

 

Jan thank you so much for the comment on my picture--it made me smile!!!

Angie

Good morning cutie,
I know it must be hard for you to get your calories in but it is important.  It is more important to get your protein in.  Do you drink protein shakes?  Do you drink coffee?  I found a really good protein powder from GNC.  It is the GNC brand ...chocolate carmal!  I put coffee in my little bullet mixer (this stuff mixes well so even shaking it would be fine), I put one ice cube in it before I put my one scoop of powder because there is a chance it could clump because of the heat.  I mix it with one packet of splenda (you wouldn't have to mix it with the splenda) and put it in my cup.  I will add alittle more coffee because after it has been mixed it won't clump.  Then if it is still cool I will microwave it.  It is really good.  I also mixed it with milk the other day.  You can buy it in the one pound packages so if you don't like it atleast it isen't a huge container and besides that if you buy stuff at GNC they will let you exchange it if you don't like it.  Hope you like it.  Yes, I am very proud of my kids.  Before the surgery it was so hard to get down on the floor or anywhere else and play with them.  It is so great now to be able to get out at the park or on the floor and roll around with them.  I ask my daughter if she remembers me big and she says not really---I am happy that my kids will remember me as being healthy.  My daughter will ask me how much protein is in something when she is eating it and that makes me feel good.  I want her to be smart about her choices and to know that what she eats can make her healthy and what food are not so healthy.  My mom never did that for me and I ended up eating the wrong kinds of food.  Anyway, I am rambling on and on.  Have a great day and God bless, Penni

Penni dont worry i always get my protein in. that only happened a couple of days while trying to get in enough calories. I can get 1000 cal. in without sacrificing protein but not much more.

Good morning all!!!
I hope this lovely cool morning finds you all well! I dont have a lotta time today as hubbys neice is dragging me off to help her shop for her new apartment. Poor girl was married in Dec. and her hubby was shipped to Iraq just 2 weeks later, they have had one two week R&R visit since then is all  He should be home for good in Jan. tho. She is like our kid hehe. Hubby only sis is like my 3 a good bit older than he is, so we get to be the cool aunt and uncle LOL.

Ms. Bec, I hope you will sail thru your tests today sweetie, dont worry, I am sure you will get thru this and continue on your journey faster than and easier than you expect!!!

I am so very thrilled to hear the reports we have so far on all the ones that recently had surgery, brave girls all of them and all doing so well!!! God is good!!!!

Ms. Jan, I promise to work on my profile soon, I am one of those weird people I adore helping others and talking about most things but when it comes to something for or about me thats HARD haha!! as far as pictures go I will have to be brave and take some as I tend to run if a camara is even in the room LOL, the one in my cell phone even scares me.
I do have one bit of news tho I have not smoked in 9 days so far, hated to brag because I figured it would be harder than this and I would be weaker LOL tho so far so good I have not even thought of wounding hubby once hehehehe I just know he was scared too LOL.

Grats to the other new nonsmokers I KNOW that is a hard battle but this surgery is gonna be SO worth it!!



Ms Shiela I hope Dr. H. will soon have you on the mend and home!!!

Oh, Jan I did look at your garden, made me drool, its almost as pretty as you are inside and out!!!

Miss Sangie I read your profile last night and OMG what you had to go thru made me know how blessed I have been and think my hoops have not been hard to jump thru at all. You are truley amazing what courage that took!!! You look WONDERFUL!! 200 pounds is AMAZING!!!

Well I best go get in the shower Megan will be here soon and you guys know how a 20 year old can be they act like a 5 minute wait is a year haha.


You are all in my prayers, I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!


HUGS!!!

Thanks so much Shelia

Thank goodness for hearing from some others...Sheila, glad your scheduled for surgery..you will fill much better when that is over or at least I did.

Sis, eat only protien foods for awhile...only eating green stuff and other things if you have room. Eat higher protien things too! I really dont know about stretching the pouch...?? You are a long ways from that. You should be able to eat at least 3 oz of food at one setting...and if that is all protien, you'll be fine. My protein levels are great and I only drink 32-40 grams of mine a day, so I dont know how they figure you only absorb 1/2 of actual food that you eat.

Anyway, stick with it, you know you need to.

I cant stay on here...have the boys today!

Hi everyone!  Just wanted to pop in and say hi.  Congradulations to all of the newbies!!  Hope all is going well with you.    I am having mixed emotions...  school is starting on Tuesday and I go back to work on this Friday.  I am excited, but I am also dreading getting back into the routine of things.  I have tried for the past week to start putting the kids in bed on time,  Why is it so hard??  My 6 year old is having a friend over today for the first time, so pray for me that I don't loose my cool with the 3 girls.  I am hoping that they will keep eachother busy and I won't have to worry too much about it.                  Hugs,   Layla

Good evening everyone!  Hope you all had a good day. 

Today was the first day of school and the first day of my new job.  I felt a little disoriented cause I am new and don't know what's goin on yet.  My class is a 2nd grade class and the teacher is very strict and has a lot of stucture I kind of thought she was a little too strict for 2nd graders?  The child I am working with wasn't that bad I only had to tell him to sit up and sit down a few times he really didn't act up at all actually there was another child that was acting up more so then my kid was.  They said this could be his honey moon stage and people are predicting that this good behavior won't last long.  I have to work tomorrow too and Fri. so hopefully by the end of the week I will feel more at ease.  What really made me feel uncomfortable was that they gave us these t-shirts with the school name on it on Mon. and I was told to wear mine on Wed. for the first day of school.  Well, I come in the building and no one has their shirt on I was the only one!  I guess we were supposed to wear them Friday not today guess I didn't get that memo....lol

Well, me and my 2 dogs are home alone my sister went to KC for a few days.  I couldn't go cause I had to work and she has to try and get her house ready to rent out before she has to start school next week.  I don't like being home alone but at least I have my dogs they alert me when the hear things.  I don't think I could have stayed here by myself if my dogs weren't here with me.  

Well, got to get off here and get some sleep have to get up early tomorrow for our 2nd school day.  

Take care everyone and have a wonderful Thursday.
