It's Monday - What's on Your Mind Today?

It's Monday again and my mind is on it's usual race...It just flies through subjects and things at the speed of light! I so wish I could slow it down sometimes. I have a lot to say but I'll keep it short to share:

o Yesterday was my 3 year surgiversary!
o 3 year appt is next week
o Not at goal weight, but at a 'happy ' weight; still working on getting to goal weight
o Completed Couch 25K week 8 day 1 this morning; one more week to go!
o Went to Philadelphia Saturday; So enjoyed seeing my big sister!
o Got over the stress of not being able to workout Saturday
o Ate what I wanted Saturday including those evil chicken skins!
o Did workout yesterday evening as I had planned and jumped right back into my routine this morning; scale was 2 lbs lighter this morning

There are a ton of other things on my mind so I'll share this last thing.

I was talking with a lady at my church yesterday who has also had RNY. We were discussing our struggles, encouraging each other, and the topic of accountability. I made a statement about being accountable to myself needs to be first and foremost with me now.

If Valerie does not care about what Valerie is doing TO herself, then Valerie is not going to care what others think. I have to CARE about me to take care of me! As much as I want to take care of everyone else, I cannot take care of anyone if I do not TAKE CARE OF ME!

I love ya'll! Take of yourself today and share what's on your mind!

Here I am only had my coffee it is almost noon my bad.
Lee ate the cottage cheese which I have most every morning because it is so full of protien.
I have a 20 gram protien bar looking at me but struggling to start eating it.
Sears has come and gone fixed the ice machine and I have determined today would be a free day for me.

Waiting on a call from the SPCA about Birdy.

If Valerie does not care about what Valerie is doing TO herself, then Valerie is not going to care what others think. I have to CARE about me to take care of me! As much as I want to take care of everyone else, I cannot take care of anyone if I do not TAKE CARE OF ME!

YOU ARE SPOT ON VALERIE!!!!!

Your morning sound like mine most mornings!

Hope it's bridie!

Hope you get some nice healthy treats! I am learning to enjoy some healthier snacks now. Still not into cottage cheese though.

 Today i sit here, it is my son's very first day of summer vacation, due him being in kindergarten and he is already BORED with it lol... 
I am trying to get everything in order for my up coming surgery this Friday for my gall bladder... 
I feel like our house is out of control with junk because i've been going through everything. The movers will be here on the 26th to get our belongings packed and ready to go to japan. You need to have your belongs shipped almost two months in advance so when we get there they will be there.. 
I feel like i'm running in slow motion today, and wish i was at the beach or the pool.. just enjoying this slow life now that i'm not running to drop off my son at school and pick him up, and soccer and all the other stuff we had him in... 
Its monday, and well i guess i'm kind of bored too..lol

Too funny that he is bored already!

Hope the gall bladder surgery goes ok. Had mine out at the same time as wls. Told my dr she had one time to go in and get it right. I was not coming back! She heard me loud and clear and did a  great job!

As soon as I saw your post I was thinking you should be getting ready for your big move. 2 months in advance! Wow! I thought I like to have a plan! My husband so wants to move to England. I just cannot imagine it but I know its coming one day. At least the distance cannot keep us apart on OH!

Bored on a Monday...hang in there for Tuesday!

 

Monday again.

Well I had my interview this morning and it went fairly well. At this point in time after talking with some of my friends on here, I am not so sure I am ready to take on a new position with surgery coming up soon. It may be better for me to continue drawing unemployment until my surgery and aftercare are taken care of. I am going ot have enough to worry about without trying to balance a new job on top of all this. I know that whatever will be, will be so we will see what happens.

Me and my hubby had quite an alone weekend. My mom and stepdad had my little boy on Saturday night and as soon as he got home, my stepmom came and got him and he spent the night with her and Daddy. The house is sooooo.... quiet without him here. His 3 yr old energy just lights it up around here. My husband did do something so sweet for me though, Saturday night he made me my favorite dinner and sat a blanket on the living room floor with candles and we had like an indoor picnic, it was very sweet and romantic. I thank God everyday for giving me such a wonderful man. He is absolutely close to perfect lol. Hard to believe isn't it.

Last thing, Hubby has appt Wednesday to find out about the shoulder. They are not sure if physical therapy will work they think he may have "frozen shoulder" syndrome which means they will put him to sleep and basically just crack it back into place and it'll be fine. Sounds very painful but better than getting poked and prodded and cut open. Plus healing time won't be long at all. We will see how this goes.
Also, Wednesday I am getting my hair done so I can pamper "ME" a little bit. I will post pics soon after.

Take Care everyone!

OUCH Jordan!  Crack it back into place???

I think I'll agree I would rather have that than surgery but I had to say OUCH anyway!

Your new look sounds exciting. I had been thinking about doing something to my hair for my birthday in September. Fleeting thought as I love my ponytail.

Sounds like hubby is a keeper. Hang on to him! Too many of them in the news these days for all the wrong reasons.

I understand about the job. Like you said, see what happens since sometimes it takes a while for jobs to come through.

 

Even though I don't know you face to face I feel like I've known you forever. This website has been amazing for me....You, Emelinda, Annie, Barbara and Shauna feel like I've known you forever. This is such a great support place for me and a place to vent about everything in my life. I love it.

Yeah WHEW, the cracking back into place sounds bad lol, the imagery really gets me. LoL. Kinda like on TV when someone has a backache and someone CRACKS it back together....whew.

And yes I am so ready for my new "do" lol. I love to change my hair in the summertime and then again in the fall. Let's hope this cut does me good.

Take Care

Can't wait to meet you and Emilinda in person!

OK, so many things are so unrelated to my rny but come back around to it.  Does that make sense?  Here's what I mean...I typically get laryngitis in the fall or early spring.  Never have I gotten it this late in the school year.  Started out with a sore throat and this morning couldn't even squeak.  I have been avoiding meds just because it usually works itself out and today the reason I've felt bad is because I can't talk and I love to talk!!!  I'm involved in a study at ECU and I have to go have my final round of tests done tomorrow.  I emailed my connection for the study and just in passing mentioned that I have had a cold.  He called me and said that it may be best to wait until next week.  I told him that I feel okay with no fever and I want to go ahead and get it done.  Didn't mention that my oldest is in camp and would only have to pay for daycare for one!  Not only that I had pizza for the first time today and did ok with it.  Missing my girl today.
