TGIF Roll Call

It's Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you are happy.  I am progressing well on my hat.  I think I will just make hats until I run out of yarn. They are all going to be a combination of white, brown and pink (my step-daughter's wedding colors).  I need to keep focused on something while I wait for things to improve.  Today, nothing planned.  You?

Today is a 10 or 11 hour workday so I just plan to get through the day. I have the weekend off but no books so I'll have to go to the bookstore or get stuff out of my own library. I'm only reading escapism, sci fi, mystery and romance but have hooked on to romance lately. What are others reading? Don't forget to try out your local public library (says your handy dandy public librarian)!

Today I reached my first Short Term Goal for this year: 229! That's 31 pounds since mid March and I'm proud to say I'm in the 220's for the first time since... 1999 or 2000. I wasn't good about weighing back then. My lowest of 233 was back in 2008 right before I started trying for a baby.

It feels so good and yet surreal all at the same time! Next goal is 199 by Jan 1st but I'm not sure I can do that. I have to look at the math on that one. Maybe shoot for 20-25 pounds by Jan 1st?

Big Congratulations on the 229 goal! I'm impressed. I think the last time I weighed that little wa sin the 1980's! LOL

Kudos on your achievement!  That's awesome!  I'm looking forward to reaching the "below 250 goal"...

finishing the massive amount of laundry from yesterday. Finishing my hospital bag (had to wait on some stuff in the laundry BLEH), guess I will go grocery shopping today
Have to make sure I have all my paperwork together for Next wednesday (omg!!!).

I went into stressed out mode last night. It finally hit me that in NINE days I will be going under the knife. WHOOP!!!!!!! I laughed, I cried, and I did a dance (that was a sight, glad NO ONE was looking, cept the cat). Rollercoaster, here I come. LOL

9 days! Woo Hoo, the countdown is on. I remember how excited I was as well but I still felt thew last few days went by toooooo sloooooow. Hope you keep yourself busy and keep being excited. The nervousness will hit every now and again but you've been waiting and preparing for this for so long. Make sure you send us all a reminder on the day before surgery so we can all have you in our thoughts.

Proudtobe...

I'm that excited about going to schedule my surgery next week!!!  Depending on how long the date will be from when it's scheduled, like Maggie says above, I imagine it will seem excruciatingly slow, as it may seem for you now!  After seeing all the before and afters, I'm ready to hop up on the OR table...Each day that goes by you're closer than you were... ; )

Ok it is not going slow. LOL I am staying busy so it doesnt seem to go by slow.

On another step- I have come to realize that idiots on my facebook are BEGGING to be told off. SO yup I did it. I told several of them off and got told to go get a life LMAO- yea I need to go get a life RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

I'm so sorry that is going on. There always seems to be the people that can't be happy for others. It's hard but just stay away from that negative thinking. Good things are coming your way!!
