WHATS HAPPENING SATURDAY

Looks like it is going to be a pretty day  today, (Friday) this is early in the morning on Friday,. Am keeping this open all day and going to write things down as we do them or as something comes to mind for me....

 

You know yesterday we in the Bible study has some on being disciplined , I think that is a lot to do with us being fat ...since most of us are perfectionist and if we cant do it right ,, or slip off our diet, we just throw up our hands and say it cant be done..you know since it cant be done perfect .....and if we would only be disciplined enough thru Christ guiding us we could have the benefits we try to get on our own...wont be perfect but would be working toward being Christ-like...He doesn’t require us to be perfect but to be trying to be Christ –like. That should be our goal daily...to be more like him , in every way, every day...

  

Sugar just called me and wants us to meet them at Branson Landing, Joes Crab shack .....Joe didn’t want to go till I said the Crab shack.. lol then he was all for it lol My man you really can get him to do anything with the promise of good food. Lol you know that saying of a way to a man heart is thru his stomach lol hold true for my man always has...he loves to eat..and loves good food not just  food but good stuff.

Anyway I hope that some of the places there have some good sales lol

  

Had a great time with Sugar and Rick at Joes Crab shack , Susan called me and I told her we were going to be a Joes Crab shack in a little bit so they met us there too. Was good to see them doing something fun too.  Sugar and I went on and went shoping , Andy and Susan went walking along the landing wall way and Joe and Rick went down to Bass Pro and got our  insulated underwear , but I have to take mine back lol I tried them on and the top fit fine went to put on the bottoms and they just barely come above my knees ....they were small boys. Lol they were about the right size in length when you held them up but because the legs were for someone that weights about 90 pounds they didn’t go up very far lol .

 

After leaving all of them we left and went to Wal mart to get a few things  and then stopped at the dollar store for paper products and cleaning products. Pays to go there for stuff like that.

  

DEB(POOH BEAR) I think you should go ahead and maybe go to the e.r. if your not feeling better at all tomorrow...dont think it is stress from letting your daughter go see her womb?  If not it sounds like it could be an ulcer....

Glad you got some good bargain at wal mart lol  I never seem to find any thing anymore don’t know why...well I guess cause im not a clothes horse anyway....i fill like I should want to wear nice tailored clothes and dressy clothes,  but with me I would rather have  jeans and t shirts lol so it doesn’t take so long to buy stuff lol , as long as it fits im ok

   

ANDY::::: was so nice that you and Susan could join us for lunch at Joes Crab Shack...I have refrained from telling anyone about Susans visit to the Psyc doctor lol didn’t want to steal her thunder....and no they didn’t lock her up lol

   

BEC::::: wow I know you have been so busy since those girls of your have been there but know you are loving every bit of it....the camping trip sounds like a good idea...so how are you doing on your more vigorous walk now? Have you gotten use to it by now?

Im sure you will be down to size 14s by this summer and maybe even less than that...

You are looking really good....and adding more walking will shake it up for you im sure.

Cant wait to hear how Paul does on his cooking lesson....how come did that come about? I cant see Paul asking to be taught to cook...was it a bet that he lost lol

   

SUSAN::::: I know you are just so excited about how fast things are going so well for you.  And they didn’t lock you up wow????!!! Just  kidding girl ...

I bet the exercising you are doing will help get your blood sugar straightened up too...oh and no more of those sugar cone ice cream lol

Just go for it girl. You are doing great.

   

LOU:::::::I can just see you teasing that psych doc and him not having a sence of humor lol. .I hope you get to feeling better soon and get a new lease on life.....you are doing wonderful on losing and will be ready for a bikini this summer lol

   

PEGGY::::::so sorry you are feeling blah.....is it the after Christmas blues? A lot of people get like that ....dont worry your work list will still be there ...anxious for you to restart your daily post about what we eat...and evidently it is helping some.

So you need to keep up the good work you are doing and come back online.

  

JANET:::::LOL all this talk about white legs and buns??? In the summer Joes legs are usually darker than mine cause I don’t wear shorts and he does . but I think im going to wear them next year no matter what.

How is Jon feeling today? How about Meg?  So since the ex has moved back get that warrant served on him ....push them , until they get it served...

I bet you get all of your back money that way. Has anymore happened with him trying to get some of your s.s. ? just don’t know how he can do that with oweing the child support.

So Kala and Lee are still planning on moving to CA? well maybe the time will make them not have the money quick ....

  

Well all im going to close and get this posted soon.  Hope all your dreams come true for everyone of you all ...

HUGS AND LOVE

GOD BLESS

 

Hello everyone...I havent posted in a while, so I thought I better get on here to say hello.
Everything here is just OK...been doing good on things until the last few days....Can not get my water in for the life of me....My pee is sooooo dark, and that scares the crap out of me....so I have been trying to drink more...Still haveing issues on the protein...but is getting a little better, got 45 in today. My biggest issue is that Im not hungry and dont even think about food until DH gets home and asks whats for dinner....oh boy then I get it.. Have try to make protein shakes and there not too bad, but cant get them finished. My other problem is I have no energy...but I know thats from not enough protein and water...but I force myself to stay busy here in the house, cleanning this and that, and thats when I forget to eat....So tomorrow I guess I will set the timer on the stove to remind me to eat, of course DH is home and wont let me forget...lol.
Now dont get me wrong...yesterday was a bad day...in one of my moods again. But really had a hard time convincing myself that I had done the right thing as far as the surgery goes....THEN i get up this morning and weight myself and of course now I LOVE MY RNY...lol Im down to 182....yea I have 2 pounds left to reach my personal goal by my B-Day on Feb 2....ya think I might make it???? Would love to make it by the 13th, thats my next appt with Dr. H. So now I have to set another goal by my B-Day...
Anyway...that was my wow for the week...but Im sure that I will stall before long....and then that will stink...but not going to complain right now...I reserve that right....lol
Did a couple of things today that I probably shouldnt have...well actually found out that I couldnt do it...lol..Went to change the downstairs around and clean the baseboard and what nots....well went to move the sleeper sofa, and got the most god awful pain...um...thats when I new I was no longer super woman, and that I was not in any condition to be moving furniture around yet....so my son came down and did it for me....none the less the downstairs got done and I went to take pain meds...lol
Ok well I dont think I have ever posted this much but I have been bored all day for the pass few day...with not many hours for working, means not alot of money coming in....so I stay home and clean and things that I have neglected for a while.
Im really looking forward to meeting the girls that are coming up to the  support meeting on Sun....I thinks is so great to meet you all.
Jan~~ Wish I could go on your trip with you all....Im about frozen...I have never gotten this cold before...I cant even imagin what its going to be like next year, when I have lost more...Im sure you all will have a great time....Where in Louisanna are you all going to?? We lived in Shrevesport for 5 years....would go back in a heartbeat...I loveed it there.
Janet~~All I can say to you girlfriend is....THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being there when I was down....your a very special person...dont ever let anyone tell you different....
Susie~~ did you get my message??? Hope to see you on Sunday....
Peggy~~ What do I say.....hang in there girl...we all have our days....ours just seem to get us for more than days...lol
Susan~~ Wow,Wow,Wow...It wont be long now for you girl, as Deb always says...HANG ON FOR THE RIDE lol....I soooo happy that everything is working out for you.....And your DH
Andy~~ your a Saint....dont think that I could go on a 2 week liquid diet again at least not for a while yet....but thats were the True Love come in....bless your heart....
Ok I know that Im missing a few of ya...but know that your all in my prayers.....Im really beginning to understand the power of prayers thanks to you all....
Love and Hugs

Howdy Guys & Gals!!!
Just got back a bit ago from taking Bubba to Ft.Leonardwood and dropping hime off... Now I got unwind before I hit the sack or I wont be able to sleep for sure lol lol.... So I thought Id get on and read some posts and yack at all my peeps....
Sometimes it seems I can't manage to squeeze enough time out of the day to get on here to read, answer posts and do one of my own.....

Every since I got my phone call about my apt with the tummy tuck doc my mind has been racing with all the things I need to get done and things I need to remember to take care of ahead of time, remember to ask and remember to take to the hospt with me lol lol.......This weekend Ill probably start my million lists to plaster on the fridge so I can keep track of whats done and whats left to be done......My brains getting old faster than I am and I seem to forget things so Ive really gotten into making lists lol lol....Even thougth about getting me a lil note pad to keep in my purse to write stuff down on so I have it with me all the time lol lol.....
I know it's more stress than old age...Im only going to be 43 in April so Im sure my brains got a few more years before it poops out on me lol lol.....

Well I had me a WOW moment today.....I have a few pair of jeans in the closet my sister gave me several months ago that she hasnt been able to wear for awhile now... We kinda swapped ....She took my baggy ones and I took her to tight ones lol lol.... Its not funny cause I know it's bothering her cause she has always been smaller than me but Ive manage to loose enough to drop a lil below her so now we are swapping clothes......Anyways...they looked pretty darn small to me so I put them in the closet to hold for a bit....Well this morning I was searching for something to wear for my trip to take Bubba back to the base and I accidently grabbed one of the pairs....I was laughing and Joe came in the room and ask what I was laughing about....I said well I reached in to grab something to wear and pulled these lil things out....He said...You cant wear em??? I held them up and said well look how dang small they are ....Now do you think I can wear em???? He said well hang on babe it wont be long and you will be able too....I was like yeah right....It will be awhile....So I pulled em on to show him and the dang things came up and fastened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!! I almost made a hole in our bedroom floor jumping up and down!!!!! I would have never imagined....I guess they looked so small cause they were those spandexy kinda jeans...I had to do a lil heave ho thing when I zipped em but they zipped right up and I wore em all day....
Was kinda strange though....They were form fitting and I have wore loose fitting baggy pants for so long I felt kinda weird all day lol lol lol.....

Looks like I got a full day tomorro....I still got to get my tree down and gather up the xmas stuff out in the yard....Im surprised with all the wind we have had that its not all down already.....

Moms doing better....Shes finally eating a drinking some again....And had some color when I stop to see her today on my way out of town....She still don't know how much longer she will be in but they are still making her wear her heart monitor and the doctor staning in for her heart doctor said he is suggesting that she dont go home till she is completely pass the brochitus and p-monia.....And he thinks she should have her kidneys checked after she is feeling better....She has had issues with them before and has missed having to dialysis a few times...And he said that with her kidneys being in crappy shape that being as dehydrated as she was when she went in the other day could have caused some issues with em......I wish so much we could find a decent PCP for her....She has so many health issues they just dont want to deal with it all..sometimes it's kinda like they don't belive a person can have so many different health issues!!! And the one she has now she has only been going to for about 6 months and she is connected to a small town hospital and when the ambulence drivers did the EKG and seen it showed some irregularities they wouldn't take her to that hospital cause they said they didnt have enough heart stuff if she did have a major heart attack....So now shes at a hostpital with a doctor we didnt even know but still not at the one her heart doctors at!.....Sucks to live in a small place....Things you need, even right down to doctors seems to be soooo spread out or miles away!!


Well it's headed for 3AM...So I guess I better head to bed and try and get some sleep... I have to get up and get my stuff done because the Princess and Lil Lady Bug are coming to stay the night with Nannie and Papa and I think I got to make and decorate the sugar cookies that we didn't get time to make for Christmas lol lol....

I hope you all have great Saturday...
God Bless each of you....
Luv & Hugs....Tammy~ammy

It was such a nice day yesterday.  We had a bunch of errands to run in Branson and Susan had her Psyco eval.  After that we meet up with Jan and Sugar and their hubbys for lunch, ate at Joe's crab shack, was so good.  We had never been down on Branson Landing before so we walked around and had a look at things,  it was such a nice day to walk, a *****illy in the shade but was still so nice.  Today we are going to run over to Springfield,  I found a sewing machine for sale on craigs list for $20, its suppose to be hardly used so we are gonna drive over and check it out quick, Susan has been wanting one for ages. Today is suppose to be really nice too,  I wi**** would stay this way but we all know thats not gonna happen lol.

Jan it really was nice to have lunch with you all,  thanks for inviting us.  Its so nice to be able to get out and do things again, even just the smallest things its so nice to do now.  I will still look at your laptop today if you want,  we wont be long in springfield, just a quick trip there and back, its actually in rogersville so it should be easy to get too.  I wont say much about Susans crazy eval but that I still think that doctor didnt know what he was doing,  he said she was "normal"?  You got to be kidding me?? Susan?? Normal?? hahaha, she's anything but!!  LOL But really, who of us IS normal?  LOL  Well now that i've earned my smack for the day I better get going lol.  I'll come get the shelf today and start painting it,  I wanna paint to match the cabinets, its going to looks soooooo good in the kitchen,  I cant wait to get in there.

You all have a great day.  Enjoy the weather while we have it so nice.

Andy

Tee Hee

When Paul gets up I'm going to get on a chair and "smack" him!!!  I'm like that... when Jan and Sugar "fight" then I want to call up my sister and "fight"!  Too funny about Andy getting his "smack" every day! 

Mimi~ How Paul got into the "cooking" is so many of the guys at his work are baking cookies and bringing them to work to share and Paul is I guess the only on that does not... so he thought he better get busy and learn since I am not baking so much any more and he does not want to ask me to do it... he thought he would do it himself... now that's pretty noble of him but after this lesson we will see what his resolve is!!!! I can't wait cause I know him... he will try and find an "easier" way to do it and you and I know there is only one way to do it! if you want them to be "right"  and throwing it all in the mixer is not right! ~tee hee

On the walking... yes I am able to do it but boy oh boy does it get my heart to pounding and I'm sucking breath as deep and hard as I can imagine... going up those two hills... it is further too... I'm guessing about 4 miles now... I will take the car and clock it here soon... and then I come in and do 20 to 30 minutes with my new weights ... they are 3 lbs.  Boy is my left arm so much weaker than my right arm and there is so much more "grinding and popping" in my right arm.  But I know I need to do it... I can sure tell there are hard muscles in my upper legs that was not there before... or maybe it's just that is was so much more buried in fat that I couldn't feel it!

Cor ~ You hang in there on the protein and water... you will get there and you will feel better too!  But it's sounds like you are getting alot done in the mean time.  It always feels good to get those things done that needed it for some time.  I now have several "projects" that I need to look at when the weather warms up a bit....

Pooh ~ I'm so sorry you are having a hard time... I'm praying that you will find the source and get all taken care of... hang in there.

Peggy ~  what could I do for you?  I'm asking the Lord to minister to you in a real special way!  I know you struggle and I know our God will as our study today says... "be a shield around you!"  that just brings me great comfort! 

Well Crystal just got up and is going to walk with me this morning so I better get ready and get my self going... we will go to the bridge maybe even all the way to Longwood!  If I'm feeling spry!

Love you all and pray you have a wonderful day!

Bec

Good morning to all how is eveyone doing today jan again thank's for asking us to come to lunch yesterday we really had a good time it was soo pretty on branson landing soo much to see we want to go back again sometime.nice place to go walking.sure is a nice day it would be nice if it stayed that way no more cold weather.

andy has racked up some smack's for sure lol.it is so hard to keep him in line it is a full time job doing it lol.he has been good to ome in helping me get ready for my surgery.i told jan as we were leaving yesterday to go to branson we saw 10 deer not far down our road here.andy is going to get me my sewing machine today and he is right i wanted one for a long time i love to make thing's on them.i made stuff for my mom all the time.i made my mom a lot of apron's with pocket's on them.everytime you saw her in the kitchen she had one on.she had tissue's in the pocket's.

my psyc doctor's app went really good yesterday for me.he said i was the most normal person he has seen in a long time.my app lasted maybe a hour if that it did not take long at all.i think the paper work took longer.he fully support's me 100%percent on me wanting the surgery and he wished me all the luck in the world.i have to go see my doctor about my blood sugar on wednesday morning at 10.00am i have to be at skagg's hospital by 800am for fasting blood work because some of the test he ordered take about one hour to process and he want's them done before he see's me.after i have my lab's done i am going over the psyc doctor's office to pick up my report he said he would have it ready for me.i am going to fax it to the doctor's in columbia and take a copy with me.the nurses said i could fax in the report but asked me if i would please bring a copy of the report with me they just like to be sure they get it.andy and i go back to columbia on febuary 24 they want to make sure my lab's are ok and that day i should have a surgery date.i was told they are about a month out so by the end of march i should be having surgery. i am soo excited and ready.i told the psyc doctor about all my friend's and family who have been supporting me and he thought that was great.andy said there must be something wrong with his head saying i was normal lol.

I sure hope today will be as nice as yeasterday. We spent yesterday car shopping. Every car we wanted we found found something that didn't work for us. We had planned to buy a nice family car. Craig wanted a cadilac but I hated the passenger floor. It had a bg hump. So that was out. Then we found a Lincoln that blew the caddy out of the water,,,,,,,,,, The drivers side had a foot rest that was a deal breaker for my tall husband cause he couldn't stretch out his left leg. Long story short we ended up buying for economy. We bought a ford focus. Its really cute and has a few luxury features. We did trade our big car(the gran marquis) I will miss it some it was a great car and not to bad on gas(23mpg), It only had 71k miles on it. They didn't give us much on trade but we didn't need to have four cars.My DH will drive the new one back and forth to work instead of his truck when gas goes back up.The "gm "was hard to park but it was a smooth ride. Now we have an easy park but maybe not so smooth ride. At least DH has a new toy.
KAREN  , Tammy and Lynette will meet me at my houseat 2:30 and I will drive to the H&L and meet you at 3 o'clock tomorrow. I am glad you have a van so we can all ride together. It will be fun to see eveyone and meet some new people.
Tammy bet it was hard to bring Bubba back. I know you had a great time having him home. Sorry I missed seeing you but I guess it was quick trip.
JAN you and Sugar should come up to Sedalia tomorrow and we could have  a big group meeting.Since you are about to head out and we won't see you for a while.

I went shopping up at the lake on New Years day and found lots of bargins. I am stepping out on faith and decided to buy some things that are way to small for me now. I better get to losing so I can wear them. I want to be able to say I have lost as much as some you. It seems like I am losing so slow. I know 38 pounds is nothing to be ashamed of but so many of you hit fifty or sixty pounds by the two month mar****ep trying but it doesn't happen as easy as I thought. The only bright spot is I do believe I will not regain the pounds I have lost. I get my protein in every day. I have a shake in the morning and at night and eat during the day. Most days I get my water. When I do it gives me the runs but not if I get 48ozs instead. Not sure what that means. I still try for 64 everyday. I have been walking more instead of the wii so it doesn't tell me how bad my weight is. I need to get back on it because it has some good balance exersices. I haven't tried the yoga  or strenght  sections yet.
Looking forward to seeing all of you Sunday.

Good morning everyone..
I guess rain today...but yesterday was wonderful, I should have felt good, but I guess it is the after Christmas, Lindas surgery, etc. that gave me the blogs,   I did this about a year ago so maybe it is the time of the year..just feel lifeless and wanna bawl..I need to get out awhile ...I love my husband but he is not one to travel and I always have went when I wanted to alone or with the girls...so think I will go to my sisters at Branson for a few days, maybe I will have a different outlook when I return..  I know I need a Holiday...

I loved Andys dev. this morningI looked up what Noble really meant and it opened up some things to me, like enjoying  noble, beautiful things and lovely things as long as thy are good and pure and not the bad things ..tks Andy

love ya all...vesta

just wanted to let you know i was also a slow loser but you will lose it all just hang in there...
