Thank you for your kind words Beth!

Plantars facitis is awful, I've had my bouts with it, last time it roared it's ugly head, I put an ace bandage around that foot/ankle and did what I needed to, because I was just so tired of not going to the gym and watching the scale numbers move in the wrong direction.  Because of my age, there is very little wiggle room, without exercise, I can only consume 1000 calories a day and while my intake is seldom more than 1400/1500 range, I feel like I'm being starved if I go below that (lol). . .

For any newbies out there that might be reading this comment, do not worry about calories and what I speak of, you have your programs follow them. . .

Beth you seem to be doing well, have a great day!

Take care, Laureen

Laureen - I love your words of self praise and looking at the positive instead of the negative.  It is always so easy to beat yourself up... giving yourself credit for what you do right isn't always easy.  Thank you :)

B:  Quaker Oats Simple Medley with berries
L: ham and cheese, turkey and cheese rollups, carrots and hummus
D:  I am thinking of fish quesadillas... maybe not sure yet

vitamin:  done
water:  at least 100 oz.
exercise:  not sure my plantars faciitis is roaring its ugly head today

Jill,

Stop beating up on yourself. . .  and I eat out a lot, I make healthy choices and eat only the portion size I am supposed to (when on the beam (lol)).. .

Think in terms of "no matter what, there are no real excuses". . .  we do what we do because we want to, when we want to do the right thing more often than not, we can be relieved of that terrible useless chatter that tells us we are _______ __________ _________ fill in the blanks. . .  change the negative to positive and just keep on doing what you need to.  You're right where you're supposed to be, your successing more than you give yourself credit for.. .

Best wishes for a day of peace. . .

I have been seriously off the beam here, and induling in my favorite pasttime -- torturing myself.  My weight is fluctuating, now on a down trend.  I lost my mind with food for a while when my daughter went into the hospital for gallbladder surgery.  I totally used that as an excuse to eat out, not cook, eat fast food, and make generally unhealthy choices.

This roller coaster ride SUCKS!!!!!

1 - 2 ham/cheese omelet, 1/2 bagel with cream cheese
2 - Lean Cuisine, strawberries, SF pudding
3 - ham/turkey/cheese on toast with veggies
4 - SF ice cream


Blessings, Jill

 GM PA!

I so wish I could go out and enjoy this beautiful weather! Alas, I must be in work at least until 3:30....
My Dad is doing better, hopefully will be released tomorrow. Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers!!

Today is wor****il 3:30 unless we have a staff meeting, then it will be until 3:45. When I get home there is a pile of clean laundry that needs to be dealt with. Dinner, homework, etc. it seems the evenings go by so quickly.

Have a great day!

Love, Beth

 Good Morning Steffi and PA,
Well, my day was just spoiled.  I forgot to move my car for the street sweeper, and will get a $15 parking ticket as a result.  When I thought of it at 5:30 this morning, there were no parking spots across the street.  Now, it's too late.

I still have a killer sinus headache, which has been hanging in there since Saturday.  I am so looking forward to my surgery on June 4th.  While I will be in a great amount of pain, more than with RNY, I should experience relief after I recover.  I have had sinus surgery twice before, so I know how much it hurts.  I'm not exagerating.  It hurt more than my open RNY.  

If you heard about the chemical fire in Bristol, I live about a mile from where it was.  We had to keep our windows and doors closed all day yesterday.  The odor was rather repulsive.  Did not help the headache, or asthma, at all.  It wasn't smoke, but a chemical odor.

I have nothing special on my agenda today.  Not really making plans, just putzing around the apartment.  Might get some tidying done.

Hope everyone has a blessed day.

Hugs,
Trish

Good morning all of PA!  It looks like it is going to an absolutely amazing day weather wise!  And you all know how I do enjoy Mother Nature! :) 

I am feeling some kind of smug this morning.  An old friend of mine, with whom I was "replaced" last year had some pictures posted of himself on facebook.  I looked at these pictures and though how bad he looked in them.  And these pics are after RNY AND plastics.....hee hee hee......I know it is mean, but I am so glad he doesn't look great.  Every now and again, that stupid high school mean girl emerges and I do find her a bit entertaining.....but anyway - back to my normal mature self....STOP LAUGHING! :)

I am at school.  I am expecting another easy day.  There is a cooking program that comes in to my school and today they are doing two lessons with my kids.  I will most likely only have to teach at the end of the day.  After school I am heading home, possibly to run and then to my therapist appointment.  Then it is my turn to schlep Emily to the local carnival so that her sister and brother do not have to worry about her and can hang with their friends.

That is all for me....have a great Thursday all! :)
