Friday Hello!

I am still having trouble sleeping.I think that the sleeplessness is due to a combination of anxiety and that my wrist is still healing and hurting. I'm hoping that my sleep patterns level out soon.

This morning I decided to start the day with a favorite indulgence that I enjoy and know that I'm also taking care of my self as I enjoy my indulgence. I made a batch of cottage cheese pancakes. I have three small pancakes with warm sugar free 'maple' syrup drizzled over them. Then I package up the rest and put them in the fridge for later in the week. Ben and Sarah enjoy them as well and it's a great way to make sure we get in a warm, protein laden breakfast each morning.

I'm doing a pork loin roast for dinner w/sweet onions, carrots that have all been glazed in a sf marmalade, ginger and balsamic vinegar marinade. I'll probably do a sauteed spinach to go with it and a bit a wild rice pilaf to round out dinner.

I've been really working on making sure that I'm getting in all of my supplements and have been doing a pretty good job of it. not 100%, but probably 85 to 90% and right now that is a win worth celebrating.

Tomorrow morning we have our monthly General support group meeting and I'm really looking forward to seeing a lot of new faces as well as a number of old timers that I haven't seen in a while. It looks like we are going to have a nice turn out.

I need to schedule an appointment w/my new bariatric surgeon. I'm going to start seeing Dr Jin Yoo at Duke Raleigh. I really like him and the new practice.

I hope to hear from you... Share your day, struggles and accomplishments.

All the best,

 

Hey Barbara I am sorry to hear your wrist is still hurting you. Next time you take a swing at Ben try not to hurt yourself :0 lol. You should have kept the statue at the Christmas exchange to use to hit him with. (Just kidding).
It has been a good week for me. My daughter is finnally healed and doing well. She has the opportunity to be a mentour at the Wellspring weight loss camp this summer. We are very excited for her and hope I can be a nurse at one of the camps to help others with weightloss struggles. I am looking forward to support group tomorrow. I always enjoy seeing everyone and meeting new people.
Going to see a movie with my daughter tonight, but if I wasn't I would be coming to your house for a yummy dinner ha ha!!!!!!

Have a great weekend
Audra

Hi Audra,

How did you know!? ;-) Ben said he nearly took a spill when went out earlier today. I'm really trying to be careful. This broken bone stuff isn't for sissies.

I hope that you and your daughter enjoy your movies night. I love doing those kinds of things with my daughter too.

Like you, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Right now it looks like we'll have a pretty nice turn out with about 35 to 40 attending. truly a case of the more the merrier.

Have a great evening and we'll see you in the morning.

I really do hope your arm heals quickly and that you will find shoes with better traction to wear if we have any more of this icy stuff. Sorry I couldn't make it out to Raleigh this weekend. Seems I am nursing a cold or something. Best not to share. See ya'll next month most likely.
