Sure glad you came and shared with us...thanks Andy for helping her to be all she can be. Lou , you and your mother as always so good to see the both of you....and you are doing wonderfully
.

Lana glad you made it this month , and didn’t go home to cook first. , Brenda and Randy I know you are getting really excited for next month to get here. You wont get to be at the meeting then as the meeting is the same day as you have your tummy tuck...

Susie and Lynette sure was seeing you at the meeting....Lynette im really worried about you not getting in much protein. ...try the protein balls also  there is a protein soufflé that you might like ....it is really good for something warm.....if you want the recipe it really is good...Peggy turned me on to them.. and you can make them so many flavors...

Terry and David was great to see you all there. David we are all pulling for you and I think you are going to beat this....Rianne  hey cutie so great to see you again , you miss size 1 you lol...

Sugar I hope you are feeling better...i have a gift from you from Suzie .....Janet where were you all? I hope everything is ok....We all ready to be able to smooch on you and the baby too lol. How did your doctors appointment go today?

 

Not a lot else going on....Joe had a doctors appointment to check and see if his last injection worked for him...so he has another appointment for the second injection in his back on Monday....i had another urine test and she said the bacteria was gone...so I guess the pain im having in my back now is something else...if it doesn’t go away I will  see about it...

 

Andy I forgot to ask you....did you sit the room up or was it like that? If you did it thank you a lot...I. really appreciate it.

 

 

 

SUSAN:::::Im really proud of you....to only be a week out and getting in your water and vits already...good girl....and you said tonight that you had your first protein shake....wonderful and your weight loss is showing that you are doing it all right. Even walking daily ...keep it up ....if my knee would do it I would be right out there with you....i guess I need to go and have it x rayed to see what is going on with it.

 

 

BEC:::::: so glad that all you *girls* are having fun . Some in the straw and others asleep on the couch .lol enjoy your self this week.

Hope you are feeling better....i take Sudafed for that drainage like what you described....that is an aggravating  symptom.

Hope your week is great

 

 

SANDY:::::lol no I don’t think you were being mean aboutgetting testy with the treasure hunters.  People sure don’t seem to have much consideration any more ....

Hello Missouri,
Just a quick note before I go off to an all day training. This one is "Legal Issues in the Workplace".
I'm working on an Administrative Excellence Certificate and have two more classes after this one. It's kind of fun but my booty gets tired!!!
Was so good to see everyone at the meeting last night. I missed those who were absent. Janet I will mail Mackenzie's present to your house as soon as I get it packaged up. Lou, I want you to try to up your calories a little if you can. You are losing great but I can't help but think you are depriving yourself somewhere if you are only eating 700 calories a day.
You could eat up to 1200 and should still lose a couple of pounds a week. Just make them good calories - veggies, cheese, meat, eggs, cottage cheese and such. I think we skimp on veggies and fruit when we start losing weight but vitamins just cannot replace all the nutrients we can get in fruits and vegetables - and do watch the fruit juices - most are too sugary for us - whole fruit is better.
Gotta go to class.
Hugs,
Lana

Good morning everyone!  My mom and I really enjoyed the meeting last night.  It was really nice to meet Lynette and see Susie, you ladies look FANTASTIC!  Brenda, you are so funny I know we could get into some trouble together.  You look great and I can't wait to see you looking like a super model after your surgery! Work it girl lol.  Lana and Jan thanks for the advise, I'm going to work on my calories.  I know it will be easier when I'm back down to one job.  Only 3 weeks and my tax job will be over.  Andy I can really tell you've lost weight, you look really good, and Susan you're moving right along.  You reminded me of myself THE day I can home from the hospitol I had to do two grils hair and makeup for homecomming and then I got draged to the game HAHA what was I thinking?!  You will start to feeling much better in the next week and your energy will be threw the roof, Andy will have to wear roller skates to keep up with you. ;)  I enjoyed talking to everyone and love hearing the stories about how much weight everyone has lost.  Teri, you look really good and I hope you get a huge turnout for the bone marrow drive. Ryann, could you be any cuiter?  You're so little and you look fantastic.  I feel really very blessed to have had this surgery, I thank God everyday for this gift along with my wonderful family and friends for all thier support.  I hope eveyone has a WONDERFUL day! ;) Lou

Tomatoes all ready?  I am so jealous - I wish I had a green house...  It looks like we have a few more days of rain.  Already have over an inch.  The patio is flooded and more mud on the sidewalk...I am not complaigning as there are still areas in the US in drought conditions.  I pray the rain does not ruin the garden like it did last year as we really need to put up a lot of the veggies for winter etc... with the way prices are still going up and I hate to see anything go to waste.

If I ever get any vacation time built up I would love to drop in for a meeting...

Stay safe and dry...

Sandy
