Topic: Wednesday - Whatcha Eating Today?

My food plan this week has been kind of same thing, same thing. . . leaving on a Jet plane tomorrow, so I didn't do my usual cooking, prepping routine, that plus it being my birthday week and my friends have been taking me out, so eating lots of leftovers. . .anyway at 4 years, 8 months post op, this is what today is looking like:

B: 1% cottage cheese with half of a w/w cinnamon raisin bagel

S: Blueberries/strawberries a laughing cow wedge

L: Salad and crab cakes

S: No sugar added vanilla ice cream with strawberries and blueberries (early office birthday celebration)

D: Leftover Boston Market chicken, spinach and potatos

S: Blue Bunny Sweet Dreams bar

Vitamins, calcium supplements and lots of water. . .

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Topic: RE: Happy 3rd Surgiversary to me!!!!!!!

Hey Lynn,

Thanks for remembering me. Sunday was a really bad day but yesterday and today are much better. Have already been on the bike for 6 minutes (225 reps) and have taken all my vitamins etc. Got a chance to speak with some friends yesterday which was nice. I know that I have a lot of people pulling for me and I have to stay positive. I do believe that I will be working soon but it may not be a full time teaching position. I still have 13 weeks unemployment left and I am going to use that time to apply for jobs at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Barnes and Noble etc. I have lots of people praying for me and I really do believe that this is where God wants me for right now. (not to sound to preachy) Hope that all is well with you in Florida and that things work out for Mike. Take care.

Love, Donna

Donna, I am late to the party but want to celebrate your 3 years! Yes, look at the GOOD in this journey - without a doubt you have had unusual stresses to deal with, but you know where to get the support you need when you are ready.

Keep in touch!!! Love you!

Topic: RE: Monday Roll Call

Hello Beth,
I am slowly reconnecting to the world. I had my sinus surgery and nose straightened this morning.. Everything went well, but I am in a bit of pain, but I'll get better soon.

I was thinking about Beth while I was waiting to go in the O.R. One of my pre-op nurses worked at Barix from the time it opened till 2010. She said she worked up on the floor, so she probably took care of a lot of us.

Will check in tomorrow.

Hugs,
Trish
