WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY
Hey you know what we need to do? All of us that have a few more pounds to lose or want to get off of a stall....we need to all get together like a camp and have nothing but liquids for a week and exercise and walk , maybe we could get the body started again. lol we could all bring our tents and air mattress(most of our bones would hurt to lay on the hard ground. That way it wouldn’t cost anything...and all bring our protein powders or ready mixed protein drinks...and start in....that sounds like a good thing to me... how about you...that way we could all encourage each other and get the carbs out of our system. And could then start over....think it would work?
It sounds like the wind is going to blow everything away out there. Our little house tho stands firm, windows don’t rattle or anything so I guess we are snug as bugs. I don’t know that I have seen it blow so hard for so long in a long time. my weather thing says that we are having gust up to 45 miles an hour, and sustained at 20 that is pretty hard...
I am ready to go to
Didn’t get outside any yesterday due to the wind. It made the temps seem so cold and even with a big heavy coat on I still about froze. But I really didn’t get out of my pajamas all day, isn’t that awful? Ran out to the green house to check on my plants that are coming up...
Looks like it may be another week at least before we get the garden planted because when it warms up enough is suppose to be raining...Lord please help us to get the garden planted .
Oh me I just hate being cooped up in the house....makes me get so blue...i get winter blaas fast. A couple of days and im getting depressed...that is why we leave here for part
Of the winter. And the older I get the worse I get.
SUSAN:::::: hey I see Andy got some of your pictures on your profile...can you see the difference in you already? And I love your new hair. Cute girl...keep on point and eat exactly how much and what your folder says to do...
you are doing so very good.
BEC:::::; lol sure wish I looked like that picture now days. No lines , no wrinkles, no sagging , no mustache. Lol would be neat to be able to look like that once again.
Didn’t you get your blood work done today? When will you find out what it says? You might not be anemic but low on D...it will make you feel tired and worn out. And the level of it needs to be a lot higher than what they say is normal . for us...
I know what you mean about not having the strength like I use to have....i guess maybe some of it is that we don’t have that extra weight to help pu**** or pick it up or whatever. It just seems like im a weakling now....makes me mad cause I have always been strong, more so that most women..now I feel sort of fragil. Don’t like that at all.
BARB::::::LOL I even have a pair of jeans that have hole in them but that is because I wore them out lol I wear them a lot. But don’t think , no I know I don’t have the nerve to wear them any where except working in the garden .lol cause no matter where you look on me I have loose skin and it hangs here and there ,,,especially out of any holes or openings lol I told Joe that if I won the lottery not to expect to see me for a couple of months , I would be gone having plastic surgery and lift everything everywhere. Maybe it would be simplier to just make a slit on the top of my head and pull every thing from there. , might wind up with my boobs under my chin that way tho. Don’t think that would work .!!!! any way
Glad you had a great day with your granddaughter. Those days will be gone before you know it
SUGAR:::::::hey where is Vicky having her surgery? In
PEGGY::::::lol it was a picture of me when I was very young teenager. 13 to 15 cant remember ....
You know I thought we were suppose to be in the hothouse effect...not the deep freezer effect....what is with this...i don’t understand...
Well maybe they wont strike....i know you would like his help doing the sale but know you don’t want them to really strike either ....tit for tat huh
Oh wow I worried about you trying to load boxes and such by your self in this cold....stay warm sweet girl. Im really anxious to see you the end of the month....i hope I find all sorts of good things to buy lol maybe Sugar and I should bring my truck instead of her van? You think?
Andy ::::::: any time you want me to take pictures just holler ok. Will be more than glad to do it

Was a busy day yesterday... I had to be at the Dr. by 8:30 for fasting labs...
It was so cool!
Nurse said... when I walked into the building, "Welllll look at YOU!!!!!! The first thing she said was, "You are obviously doing what they told you to." While I haven't been perfect I guess over all that made me see I'm not doing bad even though I seem to be losing slower than quite a few of you.Doc was just so pleased with the progress I have made... he said, "while I loved you at 300 lbs... I can't wait to see you at 150!" Really they have a goal of 160 to 180 for me. Anyway it was just nice to hear such encouragement. My doc is a big ole bear of a man and he just hugs me like a dad. Nice as he can be! He went way far and above the call of duty to help me get insurance approval.
I don't know how long it will be till I find out the labs? Mimi, I take extra Vit D so will be interesting to see what it all says? The reason I think it may be iron is I was anemic before surgery and got the levels up good with a supplement then after surgery they told me not to take it? So we will see... what ever it is I hope we can get it fixed so I have more energy.
The doc did order diabetic shoes, so if the insurance will pay for it... I can get that rolling... I stopped into an office that he suggested but they do not take my insurance... so will have to call now and see who does and if the shoes are covered?
We talked about back pain and he wants me to hold on a bit longer... he thinks in another 30 lbs I will see a great improvement in the pain... boy oh boy I sure hope so!!!
He was so pleased that I walk the 4 miles a day and didn't think at all one dose of pain meds a day would hurt me as long term as I have been taking them ... so ordered more now ... hopefully by the time I need a refill again I will have most of the rest of this weight off and will not need it anymore.
Also talked about me going back to work and he suggested I wait just a bit longer if I can, not sure that can happen but we will see.
Also talked about all these hormones I have raging... so have a plan for that as well.
I was in there again for 45 minutes getting all the answers I needed... he is always sooooo willing to spend what ever time it takes... there are so many docs that just push you on thru.
Then we had to wait for an appt at 2:00 so did some errands... I got two HUGE elephant ear bulbs... I thought I may not do them this year and Paul said, "oh get them, I like them"... after all that doc did getting me fixed up again I about DIED of a heart attack!!! You can't EAT elephant ears!!!!! That's all Paul ever thinks you should plant! ~tee hee That ole softie! I think I'm "growing" on him!
Then we went and got the insurance and tags taken care of on my new puddle jumper and then on Amanda's too... boy was that ridiculous paperwork!!! and ridiculous $$$ too!
Went to the grocery and got a few things too... stopped and got some chemical that turn hydrangeas blue... it better work as the tag on the plants says it will! But you never know... they are called Endless Summer, Mimi. Anyway I'm going to apply it when I redo those beds if it will ever warm up! I have everything covered out there now... hopefully it will warm up later in the day so I can take the pots off for awhile.
Then last evening I bundled up REAL good and went out to walk... I really enjoyed it even though it was windy... sometimes lately I am having to grit my teeth and do it but last night was not one of those thankfully.
I've got to clean house and do laundry!!! Paul says I have not seen you have THAT much laundry in a long long time! Every thing needs to be done... dusting, vacing, bathrooms, mopping... you name it it needs done! I guess I will spend the next two days doing that.... ugh! He always teases me when I have been out gallivanting and my work gets behind that he is going to "pin my fins to floor" ~tee hee that's off the movie Little Mermaid. I have a long time friend that could put more miles on a car than anyone I ever knew... she was NEVER home! Always out visiting and rambling around... and he calls me "Gayle Jr." when I get to motivating around any at all.... he's a mess... well I can get on my chair and tell him a few things when I have too! ~tee hee Even though I'm not a short woman he towers over me at 6'9" but that doesn't intimidate me one bit!!!... I just get on the chair so I can get eye level with him! Most of the time though I end of kissing him!!! ~tee hee such buffoonery!
Well, that's what's going on with me... not so exciting but encouraging at the doc's office anyway!
Have a good day all,
Bec
Nope, didn't make it out yesterday. I was too cold and it was too windy. And I just don't have the strength anymore. Once the weight came off I lost my strength. Mark can pick me up and throw me around (course he's too old!) but when our son starts feeling ornery, he can throw me over his shoulder. I hate being "manhandled" and not able to do anything about it!
I have a gyno appt today to discuss the test results and what he's going to do about this mess I'm in. Then I get to go to the store and a few errands. yippee.... Hopefully I will be up to getting to storage on Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday is supposed to be fairly nice. I don't like using that much gas but I can't load a whole lot and he's not here to help....yet.
Ok here's a partial list of "stuff" for the sale... lots of Avon....both new and old. Including decanters, steins, glassware (Cape Cod and the blue stuff) and dishes. Lots of Hallmark....ornaments and collectibles. Chickens out the wazoo...including Fenton, lamps, rugs, hens on nests, dishes, towels and on and on. Furniture....she had a lot of the Early American style...table & chairs w/leaves, couch, chairs, display cabinets. 2 old stoves....one gas from the 40's (a lot like Big Red), one electric from the 60's. Home Interiors from the 60's, 70's and the present. Tupperware....a lot of never used from the 80's and 90's. Primitives, too. Oh, and Christmas and some of it's older. And so much more that I can't remember it all!
Ok, enough advertising. I need to study and see what the Lord is trying to tell me so I need to quiet my heart for a bit. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Remember Beck as she has her revision this morning. JANET!!! You ok? RENEE'....how bout you? I miss so many of you!!!
Life isn't about about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Jan: What a great idea!!!

Extended Tummy Tuck with KU Residency Program
01/08/2010 ....Lost another 7 lbs with TT.
How is everyone? I hope this post finds you all doing well!
Sure do miss being here on a regular basis-seems the more I try to make time, the more "stuff" that takes place... My body is retaliating, thats for sure.
I was sicker than sick from Sat night to last night-its really a blur-and whats really sad, is that on Sat, Mike had one of his RC races, and we went-Renee and her significant other, Larry came-and Mike got hit by a car not once, but twice and they said it was equivalant to him getting hit by a full sz car doing 40 mph. Hit once on the outer thigh and then above his ankle-so he couldnt walk at all on Sunday-and I was of no help-go figure. He is better today, and so am I. Im not sick, but in a lot of pain.
Steph had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out this morning, we had to leave the house at 830 and I pulled back in my driveway at 630 and trust me, it was non stop running and on and on. Her scripts got lost in nowheres land-and the dentist office, at lunch-go figure! Renee had her foot surgery across town and so we met up afterwards-and wouldnt you know it-we were both at the Big K-but the wrong ones! I was driving Stephs car and its a little sportscar-a little Nissan Z, with t-tops (which I love the tops) BUT....sits real low to the ground, you feel every single bump and very uncomfortable.
Had an incident last week-I went to hug Jon and I was at the bottom of the stairway and he was on the 3rd step-and I leaned in to hug him and he JUMPED-and my party was over, right then and there. I really thought we were going to have to call an ambulance-I was stuck, bent over-for close to 40 minutes and I couldnt feel my legs, and when I could-it was sharp shooting pain through my body that made me cry out loud in pain ...... Oh man! The little guy went and hid- he was so upset and I felt so bad for him, but couldnt very well go to him. Thank heavens my mom was with me. I havent been doing so hot since then. I couldnt even hold my baby unless I was sitting. That broke my heart!
I have no results yet-but I do have to go to the GYN and I know sure as I am breathing that she is going to say the waiting for the hysterectomy is over. Im okay with that-as I am getting my visitor every 2 1/2-3 weeks and its awful. Just awful. Im not looking forward to that-but I bet its going to feel so much better in the long run-it may be as soon as next week. I WILL keep you guys posted!
Anyway-Renee and Steph doing good, so far. Steph had a pretty hard time after the novacaine wore off. Crying and I felt so horrible for her. Dr said that he has NEVER seen a wisdom tooth as big as the one he took out of the bottom. He kept it-and they took pictures of it-next to one of the dental tools and I was flabbergasted! Holy cow! I have to agree-Ive never seen one that big either! Its almost twice the size of a "normal" wisdom tooth and he said no wonder she was in so much pain and she also got a lot of stitches there too!
Well, peeps-I know this is short-but I wanted to hop in and say hi. Im not sure when I will be on again-the rest of this week is just as crazy, except for maybe Friday (knocking on wood) will see tho.
Love you all and think of you often! Love, Janet
