(Sorry it is wrote out this way but I stink at remembering names, so kind of going in order)
Sometimes errands are a pain in the patootey. Yes I had one of those nights last night...
Job hunting can be stressful, so be sure to take time to breathe.
Be careful on the trip to New York, but be sure to enjoy it too. Good luck to your daughter on getting that issue corrected.
Good luck on the move. And hope to see you back online when you get everything set up.
We didn't do much today. DH had to get blood drawn for physical part 1 on Wednesday. I was going to run this morning but only had maybe an hour or so of sleep last night, and woke up this morning with two very swollen knees and a extremely tender ankle. I do not know if it was from something i ate or what but it was all too much for me to handle and I limped my way downstairs to get ice, and ended up falling back to sleep. Getting myself prepared for tomorrow when they go in and remove this temporary tooth and put the permanent one in. Then stress test on Wednesday. The stress test is the next to the last hurdle before I get scheduled to go under the blade.

Topic: RE: Sorry so long, but thought I might tell my story
Oh I know it won't make the MENTAL stuff go away. I am dealing with the mental problems. THe weight issues actually stem from the fact that I turned to food- emotional eater. THose issues are being addressed as well. I am in therapy and in group sessions. It just semms that there are times that when I THINK I am doing ok that something rears its ugly head and I have to beat it back with a big stick.
Sorry if it came off that I am a total mental cose because I assure you I am far from that, other wise I would not have my job (although having summers off isn't so bad) nor would I have what I have. I am not good at hiding my feelings or my faults. The DH says that I wear my heart on my sleeve and my feelings are right there on my face all the time.
My co-morbities are HBP, High cholesterol, depression (working with meds and therapy), GERD, heartburn, PCOS/infertile, and I only get my cycle every three to six months.

Hey Barbara!
Sorry I have been MIA! But I have indeed been in ACTION!!!
Ran the 5K on June 11... ran the entire way and finished!
Preparing to move (in town)... but moving just the same!
Vacationing and loving life!
I will be back as soon as I can... I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you and did not forget about the group!
Smooches!
Lisa

I know I have been AWOL but I have been caught up in a million details getting this move underway. I am using PODS to get the move done. It cost only slightly more than renting a truck and driving it but I think the aggravation it saves is more than worth it. I ended up having to rent a second pod because the first one was not quite big enough for everything. The second pod is filled now (it is less than half the size of the first one) and will be picked up today. They will store it here in Greensboro for another couple of weeks and then will ship it to NM and hold it there til we have a place to have it delivered. This is probably half or less than the cost of a moving company and a heck of a lot easier in a way even though I had to pack it myself. I kind of hated in the past when strangers were handling and packing my stuff.
All that's left for me to do now is have my car serviced Friday and then I should be on the road Monday heading to NM. If I could leave today I would but I have to wait for the funds. Story of my life I am afraid. A lot of hurry up and then waiting.
I have been reading like crazy. It is the only activity I have right now to fill in the waiting since i have little money right now. I have also been watching my scale do funny things. It is trending down but very slowly. And then the days where it bumps up drives me nuts. I know better but I still can't stop myself from getting on it daily. Yes you guessed it I am carrying it in the car with me because I am not ready to give it up. Good news is I have gotten below 154 and I hope to see the 140s in a few weeks. I am beginning to believe it can happen. My blood sugars have stayed pretty stable and I feel really good so I think I may be on a good track with my eating and health. I will know for sure as soon as I get settled in NM and can get a physical with a new doctor. I am actually looking forward to that for a real first. I used to hate doctors and fear what they would say to me. I no longer worry so much about that since I am not fighting obesity the same way as before.
Anyway I will start blogging again soon as I get my office set up in a new home. I hope to get that done by the middle of July. The extended stay hotel the DH is occupying is a bit pricey and we can't wait for me to get there and start hunting.

No kind of weight loss will make your problems go away. Weight loss is for health problems.You only talked about mental problems not really health problems. You have been through a living hell. I am sorry for all you have had to go through.

I hope your trip is a pleasant one for both of you. I know your daughter appreciates your support.
Not sure if I will make it to the Grad's group. I am really low on gas. Expecting a small check from pet insurance but I'm not sure when it will arrive or if the bank plans on putting a hold on it. It's always a drama at the bank these days.
Happy 4th!!

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

I'm preparing for a trip to NYC for my 17 yr old daughter to meet with the orthopedic surgeon re: reconstructive surgery for her right leg to correct a serious birth defect. We will leave Wed AM and come back Sat PM. I hope we can squeeze in a bit of sight-seeing while there. I have some things to take care of before we fly up, so I'll be running a few errands to handle those things. I also need to see about seeing a couple of friends before I head to NYC and prepare for the Grad's Group that meets tomorrow night.
I also need/want to do something to mark my 4 year surgery anniversary which just happened this month.

Hi,
I have been applying for jobs on line. They seem to prefer this method these days. Good luck!

I am going to take a walk and try to find some jobs I can apply for. I wish I could at least get a call back for an interview!
