I would have never thought (long)

Yesterday I finally took my TV pillow and put it away in the closet. For many years I have had to sleep with a TV pillow to elevate me enough so I could breath at night. The past month or so I have not had to use the TV pillow and I am sleeping better than I have ever slept in my whole life. I am getting up early and walking the dogs around 6:30am each morning. I used to sleep till 8:30 not any more. I was shopping this morning at HT at 7:30 LOL who would have ever thought I would do that . I also came across some chilled Muscle Milk at HT 28 grams of protien in 14 ounces. Thats a big serving for me and me and protien drinks dont do to well but it is lactose free so after I do my workout this morning I am going to give it a try. We finally got all the painting done at our house and even had the computer room painted. Slowly we are putting it back together. Lee made a statement last night he said he did not relize how cluttered the computer room was until we had to move everything out for the painters LOL I married a Sanford and Son kind of guy. Mother will be coming to have lunch with us on Sunday so the rest of the week I will be preparing for the royal visit. The great thing about it is I can clean in half the time it took me to clean before. One more thing. I want to get a general idea of anyone one who might be intrested on One Inch At A Time keychains? I need a rough idea before I have some made if there is an intrest. BTW I still have plenty of pins.                                                        Annie

Hi Annie! :) Congrats on being able to sleep better and putting away the TV pillow. I love how much better I sleep these days as I no longer feel tired all the time. :) I would totally use a key chain as well! Love the pin. :) Have a great day! Becky

Hi Annie: What a great job you are doing. Keep up the great work with your new sense of mobility.  I think I would actually like a pendant better as I forget to put the pin on most days. You could just sell pendants and people could put in on whatever necklace or even bracelet they want...like a charm.  Take care annd great job on getting rid of the pillow! Lisa

Hi Lisa, Such a wonderful idea about a pendant and or charm. Something to consult with Margi about she has the sources.                                      Annie We should always wear it like a badge of honer or like a purple heart. Off to do my work out my head is buzzing with ideas.

Hey Annie, Congratulations on getting rid of that TV pillow...  I know it's a wonderful feeling not having to mess with all that!  You're doing great!!!  Oh and good luck with your Mother's visit!  Rex and I had my future in-laws and my parents over for a luncheon last week and was a nervous wreck, but it all turned out great!  I knew they'd get along well but it was just one more step towards the big wedding step - yikes!   Anyway, have a great day!!! Oh, I'd love a One Inch At A Time keychain (actually I'd like a couple please!)

Hi Sheryl, Wedding plans oh what fun. I have a very southern mother who informed me my wedding Had To Be Planned like a Emily Post wedding LOL It was a wonderful wedding one I will never forget. We sure were exhusted after our wedding and came home with a picnic basket the cater fixed and sat in the living room and ate all the great wedding foods and then totally fell out.                                         Annie                                            

Hey Annie, Yeah it can be fun planning weddings, I used to be a wedding coordinator when I lived in Oregon but it's totally different doing your own.  Since it's my 1st wedding (and I'm 45 - yikes!) my Mom wants a BIG wedding (like 300 people) with all the craziness...  I want a smaller (100 people) wedding in my church with a pig pickin or something at the Community Building or something like that - not quite sure yet.  This is Rex's 3rd wedding so he doesn't care where or when we get married, basically I just need  to tell him where to be and when and he'll be there with bells on (I told him he had to wear clothes too though... hehe!).   Soooo we'll see what happens.  We haven't even set a date yet so lots of time still...   I know I'm going to be exhausted afterwards too!  As far as I'm concerned we can just have it all in the park or something...  ugh decisions decisions!!! Well gotta go figure out what to have for lunch!  Have a great day! Sheryl

Annie, Congrats on ditching the TV pillow!  Being able to sleep soundly and comfortably is something I am looking forward to.   By the way, I think the keychain is a great idea.  I have a friend who had RNY in December and I'd love to get her one.  So count me in for one,maybe two. Amanda

Love the keychain idea as my keys are always with me and i'd never forget them. Pam

   I am so happy for you banishing the pillow, at one time when diabettes onset with me I weighed about 395 pounds and the weight of my own chest would stop me from being able to breath and I had the same tv pillow to keep me elevated.    I love the idea of the ribbon as a charm I would love a 14kt gold one for my braclet and for around my neck
