Good morning all...

Who's out there today? I'm at work, super TIRED even though I took a 2 hour nap yesterday, went to bed at 9 pm and slept the entire night...been lax on my vitamins again.  I know, bad bad me. Anyone have any pointers on how I can remember to take my vitamins (and other meds) every day?  I was so good at it in the beginning, but lately, I have been downright lazy about it.  I take Effexor, which has horrible side effects if you forget to take it.  One of them is me not being able to sleep AT ALL the night I forget.  Another is ,my tongue starts to spasm and I get a tick in my neck.  It is SUPER FUNKY.  I hate it.  But even then, I will run, get my Effexor, take that and forget about everything else.  I need a good talking too and a stern lecture. I have gotten so lazy about everything.  Need to count my calories, keep up my protien and watch those carbs.  Only thing to it is JUST TO DO IT! Ugh.  How is everyone else today?

Hey,    Feeling ugh also.  What are you going to eat today?  I've been super lax on eating.  The only way I remember vitamins is to keep all of my medicine together. then take it.  But my purse looks like a pharmacy.  I'm afraid if I even get pulled I'll be arrested.    I've got to be back on track.  I'm not going to count food before 8 (I've had cake in my refrigerator, Its gone now. I'm getting ready to have a kashi bar Lunch - protein shake snack - yogurt dinner - turkey with stir fried vegetables I've got to confess somewhere love ya Mary

Well, so far I have had instant cheese grits and eggs fro breakfast.  And then a protien bar for my AM snack.  I'll either have a protien shake for lunch OR a Carnitas taco.  I get those from the Mexican place at the food court in the mall.   I was thinking of looking around JC Penney at lunchtime today.  I have no PT appointment and I am too tired to work out.   Then I will have some soy protien snacks for my PM snack and probably roast chicken and a salad at dinner.  thats my plan anyway.  I hope I can stick to it.  My main problem is grazing at night though. I need to clean my desk.  It hard to get motivated when your workspace is filthy.  Our cleaning crew does NOTHING!  Everything around here is so dusty and full of fingerprints it is embarrassing.  Oh well.

I am here. Still recoverying.  I look like I am pregnant with the amount of fluid I still am carrying around from the TT.  It sucks! I have to go tomorrow and get more fluid pulled off with a bigole needle.  Tell you what I will not do this again. I need the same lecture about vitamins, I AM HORRIBLE!  That is crazy about those side effects with the Effexor.  I have gotten lazy about everything as well but I promise myself it stops today.  So anyone that lectures you, please pass the word.  I need the lecture as well.  I have been so bad over the past week and half.

I hope you have a great day!

julie im so sorry youre going through that! :(  now go read my lecture to kathy and apply it to yourself.. lol *HUGS* i hope you feel better soon!!!

I'm bloated too!  But from PMS.  You think your doc will drain me with that big needle too? Sorry you are miserable right now.  It will be worth it in the end though!  You will have a flat tummy.  Promise me you will buy at least one pair of low slung super trampy tight hip hugger jeans.  I want to live vicariously through you.  Plastics are NOT in my immediate future.

I already wear those hip hugging jeans.    They fit me the best and were the best way to hide the muffin top.  Tuck in shirt with a big belt or just wear a long tunic over them!   I can not fit in them right now because of all the swelling..

It is lost REALLY lowcut and skin tight shirts that you are going to have to talk me into.  I am still buying shirts one size too big! Julie

 

 

Well.... I know you will still be recuperating for Dianne's B-day party BUT we have another one coming up on the 29th... We will be at Chief's again and there are pool tables - I know you play pool!!  I think it would be the perfect place to show off your new tummy and MAYBE wear something out of your comfort zone. Start making plans now!! 

You are on!  I will get it on the schedule today!  Maybe I can get Mary and Susann to come up with me and we all can go shopping and you can help me find something out of my comfort zone!

kathy,. you went through MAJOR Surgery that could of killed you to save your own life.. and now you are being lax about taking VITAMINS which will keep you alive now that you don't absorb these nutrients.. how crazy is that?! trust me, im the queen of not taking them for 4-5 mths straight at the beginning.. and when i started my running (like you) 2 weeks later i crashed and i honestly think i was about to die! my secretary is 5 yrs out from surgery has never taken vitamins, and now is like a train wreck. shes just now taking them after my many lectures , and after her limbs going numb, her not being able to function from falling asleep everywhere and her having seizures from no where.. if you want something to kick you into gear come see how she functions during the day.. its AWFUL.. she will come in here and fall asleep on my couch in my office in .5 seconds after talking! its crazy. and its total malnourishment. she is literally dieing and its from her stupidity of not following the regime after having this surgery. and now she wont "Waste" the money to go to a wls doctor and get her labs drawn.. but shes wanting to save the money for a revision bc she gained all her weight back.. no doctor will touch her bc she is so malnourished.. you are working your azz off WAY TOO HARD to let it slip up bc of vitamins.. I keep a bottle on my desk at work, one in my car, and one at home.. so that whereever i am, i will see them and take them. im so proud of you and melissa and everyone who is stepping it up and exercising.. dont let this stop you now. you have a 5k to run soon and you will need the energy!
