WHATS HAPPENING ON WEDNESDAY

Got woke up about 6 am this morning by Joes family saying he guessed he wasn’t going to get to come up since he had to work , which he wasn’t complaining about since he hasn’t gotten to work much lately....anyway so got ready and went to Micheles. To get her semtimental stuff. I don’t know how this is going to work out for her. Im just not sure. Not going to guarantee anything but I told her that with her moving down to Clarksville that I cant run down there every once in a while to rescue her. Oh well she is a big girl , I guess.

Didn’t get back home till 4this afternoon , so didn’t get to do much in the way of gardening.  Boy this next few days are going to be beautiful gardening weather. I am getting up early tomorrow and hitting it hard....i have seeds , plants, bulbs, all sorts of things to plant...have to use the hedger on several things. ...i never cut my things like butterfly bushes , or decorative grasses  or lot of things in the fall...i wait till they are greening up or getting leaves on them before I cut them back....i like the fall and winter graceful waving of the leaves and stems and the birds love the seed pods on them....makes a little more work in the spring but that is ok.  

 

So didn’t do much on Tuesday but will over do on Wednesday that is for sure.

 

 

BEC:::::: isn’t it wonderful that  we can do that anymore?  I wish there was more hours in the day so I could get more done. But would just work myself into the ground I guess.

And you are just like me think if you are sitting down doing nothing that you are wasting time. lol

You have a lot to dig too.. hey maybe we ought to all ban together and all go to each others houses and do all the planting for each other...just how ever many days it took ...plus it would be fun.. yeah instead of a couple of days of being sore we would have about a month. lol

Hey yeah that would be probably would be a good time to do a week of boot camp for wls....the week of Cof  May support meeting. Could all meet at the cof meeting and if you were going to come to the boot camp , come on down and Tuesday morning would start the liquid diet and exercise. And walking . Tuesday night would go to Vestas support meeting and then back to our house ....boot camp would continue till Friday or Saturday which ever you all wanted. Everyone would bring their own protein drink....and popcycles, I have good water so everyone could just bring you container that you do for water. Would you be able to come then? In May? I guess we could do it in starting next Monday night.

 

 

 

SUSAN:::::everyone is talking about you lol ....they will be really surprised on Monday when they see you in person....need to look for something in the thrift store tomorrow.  Oh yeah remind me tomorrow to see if you want some shoes that don’t fit me. What time to do you leave to go to the doctor tomorrow?

Yeah you are probably right about it being the last time you have to see the diabetic doctor..

 

SUSIE:::::you may be low on iron or Vit D .....maybe you need to have those checked?? We have a tendency to run low on both of those and what the labs say are normal and what Dr. Hornbostol will say is normal might be entirely different.  You can call Margey

And ask her about those things and ask about lab test. And if you can have it done close to you and then fax it to them. Ok?

Oh did you get my private mail message to you?

 

 

PEGGY:::::: well I guess I m one of the people that is laughing my butt off. That was so funny with the snake. Im sorry but I can just see you in that house with the snake lol

Take it easy there are those snakes that show up too that might not be so nice. Just be careful. And rest up some ....take care of Peggy po

 

 

 

BEV:::::: sure am glad to see you on onboard. It great.

Fighting the carb monster is what most of us fight ....it is a vicious circle....you eat carbs it raises your blood sugar , then it drops your blood sugar and you crave some more carbs...just sad that is what it is....doing the 5 day pouch test does help....and that doest mean only liquids....go to the web site www5daypouchtest.com and you can see what all you are suppose to do....

I have a problem with meats too. but I do two protein shakes a day and then do my other protein with what I can eat.  I know you have problems with food , not eating enough but doing the 5 day test shouldn’t get you off track...but if you would feel better go to the web site and print the test out and take it to your doctor and see what he says...ok.

 

 

SANDY::::::Sure sorry that you are still sick.....

Cant help you with the clothes. But maybe Susie can lol she is always shopping.

And she just went thru that size I think...

Your dad sounds like a hoot...

 

 

COR::::: well hello stranger....

Well how did your doctors appointment go?i bet he said you were little enough....I am going to go get my tummy tuck done as soon as the flowers and the veggies don’t need me lol

Be sure and write me about your bulbs will tell you all I know lol. Some say that isn’t much but I love to dig in the dirt...

 

 

LOU::::: that must be lots of fun helping kids get their  first house. Sounds like you have been busy...your weight loss is great so don’t worry about it....just b e sure and get the exercise your body nbeed

Good Morning all:

Yesterday was a busy day for me. Lots of running and a track meet for my oldest grand daughter. She took second in the 4 X 100. YEA!! Was there from 4 to 7:30 and then to dinner to celebrate our 42ND Anniversary!!!  It is also our son's Anniversary. He was married on our 34Th. Makes it easy to remember.LOL

Today I get to celebrate another Anniversary....It has been 6 years since my RNY!!! Can't believe it has been that long. For either one.

Jan, you make me tired just reading your posts. I wish I had your enthusiasm for yard work. I planted more peonies this year and they are coming up nicely but that is as far as I want to get in gardening. I have a hubby that mows everything unless I put up fences. LOL

Peggy, I laughed so hard about your snake......My Chihuahua thought I had lost it!  You are so brave to go back in that house. I'm afraid I wouldn't get anything done for looking for varmints. LOL

Anxious to see you all at Peggy's, Not long now.

Good morning to all.it is a little chilly here this morning but it is going to be nice today.maybe summer came already.wi**** would stay around.

I am working again today. I know I should be happy. Last day of school is May 23. I will be free for awhile and have to decide if I try to get another job over the summer or not. I could use the money but I can survive without it. Middle school is easier than elementary but high school is the easiest.

Jan I got your message and may check them out to see what they offer. Not sure if we need the grou*****t but am thinking about it.

Peggy once I saw the snake go in the wall I would be gone. I do not like snakes or mice. Spiders I can deal with. All I would think of is where is the *&$#% thing and when will he come out and where. I think I would hire someone to do the work and have an auction. Some things are not worth the money. I am that scared of snakes. I wish I could come to your sale.

When is the boot camp and where is it going to be? I must have missed something or was it just a small group? Not sure if I could do it but it sounds like fun. Also what kind of reunion are you talking about? Is it for this board? I will definatly try to do that.

Ok all  you skinny people, enjoy the weather today. Its supposed to be really nice.

oh before someone gets the wrong idea, no the boot camp isnt for just a small group....its for anyone that wants to come down to my place and more or less camp out for a week,.....i have room to sleep about 6 or 8 in the trailer and room for small travel trailers or tents after that.   i made a comment one day on here that any one that was having trouble with carbs or stalls or exercise or what ever that wanted to come down for a week and we would do a liquid only week with lots of walking and exercise...and lots of gabbing lol so that is just sort of mushrooming.  and anyone is more than welcome to come....AND the reunion is a yearly thing that is done for the MISSOURI  board and for anyone that is in a group or wants to be  , anyone who has had surgery or wants to have ....it is for  the wls patient and want a be and their spouses and their kids....anyone they want to bring....it has been at a resort in Branson which wasnt bad in price at all...we are thinking of maybe central Missouri this year.....Sugar and Janet are suppose to be checking on it....and we usually have it right after labor day so we get in on cheaper prices....there will be more about that  later as the summer goes along so watch for that.  will be sending out emails and notices on the board. ok...

Morning all....what a great day its going to be....finally!!!
Went to my appt with Dr. H yesterday....He was happy with the weight loss....yeeppeee!! Margie told me that they have down 110 for my goal weight, but we both agreed that that would be a little too low. I think that 115-120 would be just right...I dont want to look unhealthy and sickly....as some people have already told me already at the weight that Im at now....whatever!!
Dr. H  up'ed my B-12 to twice a month and we talked about the problems of me not eating....told me that if Im still having issues with how I feel when and after I eat that he wanted to see me back in a month...Also he's running a Vit screen. Told Margie about the times of feeling like a "Swoosh" as Melting Mama would put it...coming over me... told Margie that I check my Blood sugar when it happen, and it was 53...but of course I had not eatten yet that morning...so went to go eat right away and it got a little better....but it happens alot even after I have eatten too....I dont know but I make sure that I have something in my purse for just incase....Also been having trouble getting bleeding to stop....my dogs jumped on me and scratched my are and it took at least a hour to get it to stop bleeding....and not just a little bit either, so there checking on that too....
Also talked to Dr.H about my eatting....asked him how many carbs a day....he said 200g.....I said oh hell no.....lol told me at this point not to worry about cal's or fat.....guess thats cuz I dont eat much now and need to get all that I can....
Also asked for the stop smoking pill....Chantex.....and Dr.H was more than happy to give it to me....going to start them before long....Keep fingers cross that they work this time and dont make me sick again...
Ok so that was my day....hope everyone has a great day today and enjoy the sun and warm while we can....
Love and Hugs...

Morning....

So I take the 20 gauge with me...all ready to blast his little head to smithereens...and what happens?  He never shows up!  Isn't that just like a stinking snake?  I walked on pins and needles ALL DAY watching for him.  Then Mark comes out after work and he actually goes looking for it and he can't find it either.  It's somewhere in the walls of that house just waiting for me to drop my guard....  I did actually shoot the gun, tho, after Mark got there.  Just to see how it felt.  I was scared it was going to have a big kick but it wasn't bad.  Just loud.  And the shot pattern is small so now I'm worried that I would have to be right up on the slimy thing.  I just hope it found someplace else to go and I won't have to kill it.  Blech.

I've made it thru 178 boxes and have barely made it into the bedroom.  That's where we stacked the boxes from the storage unit.  I had guessed over 400 and I'm sure I underestimated.  Can you believe ONE person had that much crap?  Sheesh...  I still have stuff in the storage units and stuff here in our basement, too.  I need to work on the ad tonight so I can get it faxed to the paper and then update the Craig's List posting.  I would have had an auction but she didn't have enough quality stuff to draw a crowd.  That's why the sale.  So far I haven't priced anything out of the boxes over $5.  Bargains galore.  Of course I will price some of the furniture a little higher but only if I feel like it's worth it.  Most of what she had needs some TLC but if anybody is willing to take a little time they will have some good stuff.  Poor hubby just gets so angry when he is helping me.  Mainly because of the amount of money she spent.  For years we believed she didn't have a lot of money.  She didn't because she was blowing it on all this stuff.  Ok....enough.

I love the idea of the boot camp.  Just don't know what is going to be happening around here.  Mark's aunt has to have surgery again (sigh) which means I get to help.  I need surgery but I have to wait until we find out if his union is going to strike.   AND I want to see some people after this sale....my daughter, you all in the south, Bec, Deb D, Barb S, my mom.    Crazy again.

And I really want to hear more about Janet's sale.  She had some things that I know hubby will be interested in.  So when she gets back on I hope she gives some info.

Gotta run....running late again.  But I will be out there until late tonight so I should get a lot accomplished.  Thanks for love....I need it to get me thru.

Hello Everyone,
 Sorry I've been MIA, thing's have been crazy busy around here trying to get thing's ready for Tiff's graduation and the party's before and after. She has started counting down the day's.
 My foot surgery went well, and I got my stitches out Monday so I'm walking even better. I still have some pain in it but nothing like it was. Hopefully the problem is fixed now and there wont be any more surgeries.
 Mike's race got canceled Saturday so I didn't get to see Janet  but they are having it this Saturday so I will get to see her then.  I can't wait it seems like it's been forever since we've got to hang out.
 I can't wait to see everyone at the meeting Monday night, It has been forever since I got to come to a meeting, so I'm looking forward to it. I said something to Larry's mom Fran about going and so she will be bring me. I haven't drove since my foot screwed up and she has been great driving me around and to all my doctor appointment's, I don't know what I would do without her.

Susan WOW girlfriend look at you, you and Andy both are doing so awesome. I"M SO PROUD OF YOU. I can't wait to hug you Monday.

 I have to get going Tiff and I have a doctor's appointment in a little bit.

I hope EVERYONE has a wonderful BLESSED day.
Love and Hugs

It's Earth Day. Happy Wednesday. Got up this morning to find that my nephew's Rooster that we have had for over a year along with 2 3month old chick that were outside were gone. We found the body of the rooster in the yard next door. The little Hen, "Blondie" is aok. We found out this afternoon that a Fox got the animals. Did not bother the cats, kittens or dogs. So we went to the store and got 3 more baby chicks this morning. Then one of my sisters come in with 2 more this afternoon not knowing what had taken place last night. We had just gotten 2 more over the weekend so now we have a total of 7 baby chicks all from 1wk-4wks in our living room in a box. "Blondie" he will shut her up in our shed tonight. We have looked all day today for a cage or house to put her in has nothing has ever bothered them before so they have just been out lose in the yard with tarps, straw for a house. Yes we do live in town but none of our neighbors mind us having chicks.
 Ok enough of the sad stuff....... I had food today. I had about 2 tsp of oatmeal this morning. For dinner I had about 3 tsp of mashed potatoes made with chicken broth. YUMO!!!
 I hope everyone has a great Thursday. It's almost the weekend !! YEAH

God Bless,
 Becca
