WHATS HAPPENING THURSDAY

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh im sore...i spent almost all day working in the garden. I dug up two wheel barrows full ...still more in there. I wish I could afford some sort of mulch to put down in the aisles to keep that Bermuda grass out.....i read in my  Mother earth magazine to put newspapers or cardboard down ....that might be easy enough to get hold of...go to groc. Stores and get boxes and break them down....it will rot  by winter and you can till it under so will just add compost to the soil. So that is what I will probably do....

 

Joe got a lot of the yard mowed with the rider , if it doesn’t rain he will use the weed eater tomorrow.

If it rains he has to get the tub surround put in in the trailer...then we need to start trying to put the trailer together and get out of there all the stuff that we don’t need. Or want....

Oh yeah does anyone have a pub table for these cute rooster stools that I bought at Peggys. I also have bought some wall paper to put up in the kitchen....it is cream colored with small roosters on it. so cute....then I bought some lace curtains that have roosters on them in the lace.... the floors look awesome or they will when I get stuff straightened up and cleaned.

 

Im just rambling I think lol im so tired I think I should have lost 5 pounds today....but probably gained....that is the way I do....work work work and still don’t lose.

That is the reason im looking forward to boot camp for the week...maybe I can get started again any way....

 

Sure wish more of you would join us down here.

 

 

BEC::::: good think I have kept up with you or I would have been overwhelmed with all you have been doing....glad the checkup went well.  And hope you will get your vit D up with taking the extra pill. It worked for me. Hope it will you.

Did you get all your plants , planted?

Hey when you bring my statuary down don’t forget my tubs and my neat cart you found for me....i have just the place and thing to put it....

 

You sure are hard on yourself ....cant see a difference Phffffffftttttt. You are goofy....of course there is a big difference. Those muscles you have developed are something else. Maybe you need to not do walking every day, but do something else every other day . like the exercise ball. There are some really strenuous exercises that would target the core of the body ....scare your body into letting loose of some weight lol. They say you need to mix it up...love you call me and I will meet you somewhere when you come down this week end ok.

 

I wanted to tell you thank you so very much for making Sugar and I to feel so welcome in your home. the tea party when we arrived was just too cute. Loved the salad. It was wonderful...as you are and your beautiful home. You always make everyone feel so wanted and loved.  Again thanks....

 

 

BECCA::::::I will be praying for your mom .....hope the problems are nothing...

Great that you came on here to play....im sure your checkup will go just fine.

How much weight have you lost  since your revision? And are you doing well?

 

 

SUSAN::::::: were you sick today I didn’t see you outside at all and it was so beautiful out? Hope you were ok...

Yeah we had a ball with the babies last night....the baby Mikaele at 2 years old can sing the alphabet song all the way thru...of course the l m n x p and some of the others even tho they all get said is sort of out of breath and a little funny but she sings it for everyone separately lol she sings it for someone then goes to the next person right in front of them and sings with her whole little heart ....she is such a ham...but a sweet ham...

 

 

 

SUSIE::::::that is always a hard question to answer , I always felt like I was being a braggart if I said too much good about myself lol maybe it is how I was taught when  I was growing up.

I sure wish I could have a face lift , that is the part that I really don’t like about this surgery....i look at myself in the mirror and what I see makes me feel tired even if I do feel great. I look old and tired. But who in the world can afford 10,000. dollars. I cant.

I still think that if insurance is going to cover the surgery they should cover plastic surgery too. at least one elective...dont you think that should be a good idea lol

 

 

JANET::::::: hello our wayward child ....the girls name you are trying to remember is Terri and David... it really was good to see you again too ....you looked tired and from all that you do even in pain , no wonder. I worry about you sweetie, I think you put everyone ahead of Janet. You have such a good sole and loving nature that you wont tell anyone NO....and you need to some times. I know you love your family and everyone but you need to love you too. don’t mean to be fussing at you , just worry about you , a lot.

 

Have you found out anything else for your doctor appointments? Is there a schedule for some of your surgerys?

 

Washington DC is an awesome place especially if you are interested in the history of our United States. I loved it when I went the year I graduated out of the 8^th grade....you all will love it. and it will make so much of what the boys are studying more interesting

 

 Boot camp is here at my house for the week of May 18^th...that is also the night of our support meeting.  I hope you can come even if it is just for a couple of days. I wish you could come for the whole week tho but I know it might not be able to.

 

Sugar is doing some research for the Reunion it will be cool but will require people to commit and put their money where their mouths are. So it can be reserved. And if they don’t then we may not have a reunion.

 

Be sure and let us all know when your garage sale is because you know we are good garage salers. Lol ...

 

 

LOU::::::sounds like you had a really good time networking....isnt it neat that you can say no to all the enticing things (just because you can)....you are doing great.with your weight loss. Keep up the good work...soon you are going to have to get rid of that big belt ..lol.

Tell your mom hi for all of us. She is always so quite.

Will see you again on the 18^th....

 

 

 

 I guess its a good thing I didn't get the job, I want to do a little traveling this summer. There were only three applicants,that was the problem. They had someone hand picked for the job before they even interviewed me. Its ok, it just means it wasn't meant to be. I need to visit my folks in NC and I want to visit my sister in Atlanta. I might even head back to Dallas. I will have to find another way to save the money for PS. I have been told it takes twice as long for the skin to shrink than the time it takes to lose the weight. That is if it is going to shrink. I know some of mine won't but I am hoping some of it will.
I hit six months yesterday and did my measurements. Ok I admit I am smaller. I wish I were smaller than I am but that will happen. If I had a tummy tuck I think the eights might be too big. I defiantly need a tummy tuck. I needed that after having kids.
I have been working in my closet and clearing out stuff. I notice I rarely wear the stuff I got in Yard Sales. I wear the new stuff I bought. I have only a few pieces from sales I really like and wear. I think that means I am buying way too much. I went to a thrift store and bought about thirty items and didn't try any on. Big mistake. I have to start trying things on. Some are too big some too small and some just not me.
Too more weeks of school YIPPEE> I have middle school today. I hope they are calm. This close to the end of the year they can get wild. It looks like rain so they are always restless then. They do not have recess in Middle school but the rain still effects them.
Hope you all have a great day

Hey all....

Things are still crazy here tho it's a better kind of crazy.  I posted some pictures on my profile of the sale.  Still trying to get stuff caught up that I had let slide and a few more things to do to completely finish the sale.  Poor Barb called me in the middle of the tent dismantling....hope she didn't think I was too short with her.  So sorry Barb....love ya girl.

Janet...whenever you come up I will surely give you lots of rides.  I LOVE driving that silly car.  And shooting the bad boy gun was a blast.  Watching chickens go BOOM was great.  heehee  Would love to come down to your sale, too.  Mark loves Coke items.

Lost about 10 pounds the last two weeks.  Part of it is only eating once a day and drinking the other two times.  Part of it is the synthroid is working now.  And part of it was the sale....I would just forget.  Not too bad.  Nice to get back into clothes that I haven't been able to wear since my thryoid was removed year and a half ago.

My next surgery is scheduled for July but I may get in this month if they have a cancellation.  Since we are still waiting on strike news we may not have coverage in July, so now would be better.  I hope, I hope.  Ready to get this over.

Going to try and restart the Eating Good thread since things are beginning to return to normal.  Love you all.

Hello Everyone,

 Well I went for my 1 month check up today. Things went ok I guess. When I weighed on March 17 I weighed in at 228 and today they weighed me at 203. I am not happy with my weight. I am really struggling. On top all of that I go back to work on the 18th. I have until that time to get my lunch worked out to where I can eat in about 15 min. It takes me 7 min to and from my desk to the lunch room. That is going to be the hard part.
 I am struggling as I am craving choclate and sweets. I dont know why. Help me. I hate what they also said today about revisons dont lose that much weight. They said I should be happy for what I have lost. So it sounds like it was a stupid mistake on my part to go thru with it again. I am walking 5x a week doing weight 3x a week. Plus all the stress I am under going to school, worried about my mom. I pray each night for God to give me the strength to get thru. I feel like I am going insane. Then when I see people that dont even comment to my face but behind about it dont look like she has lost any weight but has gained. That really hurts.
 I am sorry to blow. But sometimes i just start to type and its like my fingers take over.
Sorry to ruin your night.
I hope you guys do have a great TGIF!!!

Love, Becca

Becca hang in there girl.  In the beginning I think everyone thinks what the hell have I done.  Your cravings are probably head hunger.  I remember thinking that everything looked and smelled good.  But that goes away too.  As for people talking about your weight, alot of times they are jealous.  Being over weight you have to have thick skin all the crap that goes on and now that you are loosing I would bet that they are envious of your changes.  I hope that things start to get easier for you.  I'll be thinking about you.  Lou ;)
