WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY
Today is suppose to be in the 40s and sunny ….wont that be wonderful ??? I will believe it when I see it.
Im really getting cynical about this stupid weather I know and seems like all I feel like doing is griping about it. I really do hate this cold and snow and cloudy weather. The weather man said last night that we havent had any normal weather temps this month …will seem like a heat wave when we do .
Susan I wanted to thank you for starting the post yesterday morning ….it is nice to know that I can count on some of you to post when I don’t…my grandkids don’t come down until today…I was just being lazy I guess …I didn’t get up until after 10am…I still cant believe that I am sleeping like I am….So I guess all these years of not sleeping because of Joe snoring caused me so much trouble sleeping that im am getting it all in now. And I cant believe how much better I am feeling. Bones still hurt but im not going to sleep every time I sit down now…so if bones didn’t hurt I would be feeling like a kid again. Lol
JEANIE RAE:::: are you doing ok? You havent been on here much and wondered if you were ok….I know you are anxious to get that class done so you can maybe get your surgery date. All of the wondering and waiting before hand is the hardest part I think…once you have the date it starts being a reality. And then you start getting things ready…much like the birth of a baby lol and in a way it is …..your new birth and you have a new baby tummy that you have to teach to eat …but you have the chance to do it right this time and eat only what is good for you…no junk …
If you need me you have my phone number so remember im just a phone call away.
JO:::: I wouldn’t like to redo all those dance costumes either. Why not just make new ones.?
If the chicken nuggets have all the carbs from veggies I don’t think they would be too bad would they…lot of difference in veggie carbs and starch carbs. don’t know how you would know about them tho do you:??
How is your little window green house coming along??? I have some basil and oregano and sage coming up in the green house. Plus I have beefsteak tomatoes , cherry tomatoes and yellow tomatoes coming up…cant wait to get dirt on my hands again.
I guess the atkins mocha RTD if you don’t like it cold you could pour it into a cup and heat it up…or mix it with some real coffee as creamer lol I did that one day and it was really good.
LANA :::: hey you arent on here much but love it when you are. You make me feel really good about the group. I knew that we needed some new blood tho. I was getting worn out by it but thank you so much for the compliment.
Im like you Lana about the protein…I just know that I have to have it so big deal…I am one of the lucky ones tho I think it really do like my protein coffee and my protein smoothies. Maybe I like them too much but im glad since I cant get enough of dense protein in I have to have it some way and I love my protein lol im odd I guess always have been tho…nothing new.

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY

Mimi~ So neat your grand girls are coming to see you. I hope you have a great time! I became a "great" aunt this past week... now you KNOW I'm WAY to young to be a great auntie! ~tee hee
You know Mimi this weather has bothered me too more this year than any other year I can remember. The cold did not use to bother me at all and now I have to force myself to go out for exercise. Once I get out there and get going I'm just fine and am glad I went out but getting myself out there is another story...~ha The new face mask I got this year has been great for the really cold days. The wind does not burn near as bad.
Whew I spent the past 4 days cooking and cooking and cooking for Paul. Put well over 40 meals in the freezer for him again. I don't really observe Lent but today is the 1st day and I'm going to try and give up all starch and sugar even a little bit... try a 30 gram protein shake a day and then dense meat and a few eggs or cottage cheese and see how I do. Sure would like to get most of the rest of this weight off in the next 40 days. We will see. One year I had only fruits vegetables for 40 days and lost 28 lbs. I would not do that again as it messes with your mind! ~tee hee But will modify this years to meet my protein needs and still try and stick to a strict regime.
I have a very long list of things I want to get done in the next 40 days so maybe I can keep my mind off food in keeping busy with the list? Nice thought anyway huh? ~ha At least I will not have to worry about the constant cooking for Paul and that should make it easier.
Mimi ~ I'm envious of the plants you have growing already! I want to make a lot of salsa this year. I buy so much of it and the ingredients are so easy to grow so going to try to make it... I also wish I had a whole patch of thorn-less blackberries. Will see how my new strawberry beds produce this year? That's if the chickens stay out of them. Paul is getting ready to build fence to keep them out of the yard. They sure can tear things up in short order... ~ha They are pretty birds now that they are recovering from that bad ole rooster! He is history...~tee hee We actually got 6 eggs a couple of days ago from the 8 ladies... that's the best they have ever done. A sign of contentment don't you think? ~ha
Jo~ have you used your new machine yet? Do you think you are going to like it? How about the tapes? I'm rooting for you.
Susan ~ Miss you and Andy... might have to give him a call here soon and see if he can walk me thru cleaning out the cache on my puter... it sure is running slow. I'm a busy woman and don't have time to wait and wait and wait...tee hee You have an appt in Columbia coming up soon don't you? Would be wonderful to see you both.
Well better get on with the day... have a good day all.
Bec
Good morning everyone.this week sure is going fast wednesday already.the sun is out here soo pretty at the moment wi**** would stick around for a while.supposed to be up to 45 tomorrow.heat wave.lol.

Good morning OH,
I'm OK, just dealing with being tired all the time. Go to see my PCP next week and am hoping she will come up with a reason for feeling this exhausted. My blood sugar levels have been running more in a normal range, don't know if that would make me feel tired.
Went to the Y yesterday then had my nutrition follow-up, she will be forwarding her recomendation to Dr. E, so now just have the Behavioral Health Class to do then my papers will go to Humana for approval. That can take up to two months, just hoping that we can get it done sooner.
Jan~sounds like you are ready for a good visit with your GDs, having grandchildren that love you means so much. They are an extension of ourselves and when they are babies I think we kind of have a special bond. I know they can tell who loves them unconditionally and that makes them have a special trust and love for us.
Susan~I'm doing OK, just trying to do one day at a time. DH is going to Springfield today to see if he can get a delivery to do, I'm gonna take the day and rest a little then try to get some things done. We have cobs webs building up and need to vaccum them before they get eerie looking.
Need to post this and get DH off to work. Hope you all have a good day. Talk to ya later.
Jan, I detest those costumes. Emily is on the dance team so all the costumes are purchased from a costume maker. There's always things to do like tack the tights to the skirt, shorten pants but the worst thing to work with is feathers. I've made belts and headbands out of feathers and tacked feathers around the waist. Her parents spend a small fortune on dance lessons and costumes. The younger GD, Jessica, is also a dancer but not on the dance team yet. They will go to Orlando in July for nationals competition and that is a huge expense. My SD tried to talk us in to going, but we can't afford and I don't want to go to Florida in July and especially not stay in a hotel with a bijillion kids.
I haven't set up my window garden but I need to do that. Maybe tonight I'll do it. I'll bet you would have set that up as soon as you got it.
I'm going to WM and hope they have the Atkins RTDs and also get some bars. I'm pretty well stocked up on healthy stuff and have sworn not to order anything else this month. I ordered protein chips and they're okay, but they have 14 carbs per serving. They are more healthy than regular chips but I'm not a big chip person so if I just have to have chips I'll get the baked ones.
Bec, I do like the air climber. Haven't had a chance to try out my walking tapes.

I really wi**** would warm up at least for a few days . Sunshine would be so nice. I have been doing some taxes after school so I am staying really busy. I will have to get some more training this year because they are going to require certification to file returns next year. It would mean a few extra bucks and I always need that.
Hang in there everyone spring is not that far away.
