Eatin' Good Thursday....sigh

I'm a little down tonight....but it'll be ok.  I just worry about things when all I should really do is pray.  And this time it's not about me....

Worked at the farm for a while this afternoon.  We are now ready to bring boxes from the storage units.  But they are now calling for 8-12 inches of snow!  What???  I really hope not, we have tickets for the Eagles concert Saturday night and I would hate to see it cancelled.

Outta bed....coffee

Mid morning....pumpkin/banana souffle'

Snacks....peanut butter crackers, strawberries w/splenda, cheese, protein bar 

Dinner will be fajita leftovers....lots of protein.  Hubby is having something w/pasta so I'll get it cooked and reheat mine.

Water is great and vits are great, too.  How did you all do today?

Sorry I hear your down, hang in there, it can only get better!!

Not much to report, we are still on the liquid diet, next tuesday Susan can advance to some soft foods so we are looking forward to that, she's doing really well on the diet, not complaining a bit about  being hungry or tired of the liquids.

Outta bed - Water

Breakfas****er & Lemonade Protein Drink, Susan had a Cherry Protein Drink.

Snack - S.F. Popcicle

Lunch - More water and a Red Raspberry Protein Drink

Snack - Cup of homemade chicken broth, S.F. Popcicle

Dinner - More water and homemade chicken broth.

Snack - Later on we'll have one more protein drink and prolly a S.F. Popcicle.

Hope you get to feeling better Peggy,  your sure in our prayers.

Hi there!

Once again, I am so impressed that you are doing this with Susan.  I KNOW that this will get her going on the right foot and it can do nothing but help you as you begin this journey again.  I can just imagine that the weight is melting off of both of you.

I appreciate the prayers.  Sometimes I take things a little too personally, you know?  Love both of you....

Good Evening Peggy Poo...

I am sorry you are down a bit tonight... I will pray that you are able to just put it in the Saviors hand and know it is safe there.

I'm glad you are seeing progress at the farm and will be glad when you are all finished with this project!  I sure hope I am on your list of travels! ;0)

Boy have I enjoyed Jo being home she has walked with me EVERY day since last Friday!  It has been simply WONDERFUL!  It is about over and that saddens me.

We walked the "killer" walk today... new name for new walk 6 very very steep hills round trip!  It sure gave me a huffing puffing work out but I plowed right on up them!  In this case my "Tatum" (maiden name) stubborn nature worked in my favor! ~ha

She is in such a need of a car and has wanted me to sell her mine every since I got it.... Paul and I bought the girls both their first cars and told them they would have to get the next one... Jo is ready for another... so I gave in and sold her mine when she found me another one (more $$$ of coarse ~ha)... so Paul will help her get that all fixed up... license and insurance before she leaves.  I will dearly miss my "puddle jumper"... it was just about the most fav vehicle I have had... it just fits me. I am buying another RAV 4 a few years newer, but not as sporty... Paul fits in this one better.

Today I had two protein shakes

2 oz of ham

part of a mandarin chicken salad

for supper it will be pork tenderloin, veggies, and strawberries

Vits all in and water just fair

We are going to watch "The Aviator" with Leonardo DiCaprio tonight.  Jo wanted to watch that so we rented it.

I went out and covered a few things since it's calling for snow...jeepers this stinks! But I guess what will be will be... I don't think we are to get as much as they are saying you will get... oh well... I drink more protein hot choc and snuggle up to my warm Paul! He is so good to let me put my COLD COLD feet on him!

Well Miz Peg... know that I am thinking of you and praying the Lord will bless you way way much!

Hi Sweetie....it brightens my evening just knowing you are here.  And trust me, you are on my list of travels.  As is Jan and the girls in the south.  I am so ready to quit thinking about this stuff and enjoy life once again.

Your Tatum and my Thornton are quite the pair aren't they?  I never realized how stubborn I was until I set my mind a certain way....then watch out!  I am tickled that Jo is walking with you and I know you are soaking up every minute you can.  I am excited that you are getting a new car, but I understand how you'll miss this one.  You sure were cute in it.  ;)

I know you were fair on your water and I also know that you will do better tomorrow.  But your other stuff looks great.  Way to go. 

I see Shelia tomorrow and we will be discussing surrender/submission.  I understand the concept but for some reason it is a struggle.  We'll see what she says.

Love you dear friend and I hope you have a wonderful tomorrow!

Dinner~~ Grilled Stuffed Burrito, ate just the insides
Snack~~ Pringle sticks
Vits are off....and Water a little shy....
Hugs..

yippee Cor  i would jump with you if my knees would let me lol
that is great  and your cals are great too....keep it up i know i have trouble keeping my calories up. i dont have any problems with the protein because i do protein coffee in the morning and usually a protein shake later in the day..but i have trouble getting in enough calories.... who ever said or thought that weight loss surgery was the easy way out should walk a mile in our shoes ....right?

all you have to do to keep your protein levels and your calories up is to try.....it eventually get to be second nature.   we hope anyway....Jan

Cor....YOU ROCK!!!!  I KNOW this has been a struggle for you and yet you keep working on the process.  I am tickled for you.  Remember, you are still training your pouch that you are in charge so if you have to back off a tiny bit so as not to feel sick, that's ok.  As long as you keep trying to reach the limit that your doc has advised.

I'm VERY happy for you and I hope you have a great day today.  You will get there on the water and vits...and I agree with Jan.  So much for this surgery being the easy way out, huh?

Good job

Hello peggy remember we are praying for you and your hubby.yes andy has been good to me helping me out with this liquid diet.i am getting all my protien in and my liquid's.thing's are going good for me andy and i are both losing weight.he walk's with me also.have a good day.we love you too.god bless.susan

Susan...you are too sweet.  Thanks for the prayers.  Frankly, I am just a TINY bit jealous that Andy is doing this with you!  I think there are many of us here that would've loved to have our spouses support us in this way.  But it would have been impossible for those that haven't had the surgery.  I am just so happy that you are traveling this road together!  Keep on keepin' on!

Love you guys....and can't wait to see you again!
