Tuesday WLS express

Good Morning All,
Looks like we are in for another scorcher today!  Plan on playing with the girls outside in the shade this a.m. till it gets too hot or the sun gets on us, whichever happens first :)  I'm SO ready for Fall.  Had an appt. with a dr. to look at these awful varicose veins this a.m. but they called yesterday afternoon to reschedule.  Forgot to weigh yesterday a.m. till I was already dressed and on the computer and I won't do it unless I do it when I first get up...in the buff!  Anyway, I was down 3 lbs. since last week.  I had put those 3 on during the weekend festivities of Caroline's party, so I'm happy.  Alissa, hope you have a wonderful visit with your family.  Those times are precious.  Will be headed to Louisiana in a couple of weeks with my 3 GD's and I'll let you know when because I will be calling for MAJOR prayers that day since it will be just me and them in the car for 6hrs!!! Got to get at it.  Y'all have a good one and stay cool and hydrated.

Blessings,
Carol

Good Morning OH Family!

I'm ready for another day as a "working girl" Yesterday was great! I'm really impressed with this company and the professionalism. They did a really good job with their orientations. They seem to really take care of their people. And to make the day even better Mark's eldest son Jason called last night with the news that Addison Marie has blessed us with her presence. I'm hoping to go down there this weekend to kiss those cheeks! Lots of tears of happiness and  sadness that Mark did not get to see his first grandbaby. Yea! more pink to buy! Alissa enjoy your company today.Happy late Birthday to Annette and Happy Birthday to our Debra F. Well I better get on the road. Will check back when I get off work and will post pictures of Addy.

Your loved!

Good morning everyone,

Oh boy am I tired.  I did have a great birthday yesterday even though I had to work.  Matt came over after work, and took me to Benihana's for dinner.  I had a coupon to get my dinner free but had to endure them singing to me and all that.  It was alot of fun though.  Matt had never been to a habachi grill so that made it even better.  Then we went to the mall and pick our our wedding bands.  They aren't matching bands cuz I had to find a countour to fit around my engagement ring but they are what each of us wanted.  It was a very special evening for both of us.

Hopefully Matt's AC will finally be fixed today.  The tech had to order a part for it so he stayed at my place last night to have a cool night.  It's hard to sleep in a 90 degree house.  ugh.

Saying prayers for all of you.  Have a great day everyone.

Did I miss something?  Have you guys set a date?  I am so happy for you!  Without a doubt you deserve all the happiness life has to offer!

Good morning train riders.  I got very little done yesterday.  I pretty much just sat around and vegged. I did do the laundry and got the backyard put back together and made a Walmart run but that's it.  Today Hailey and I plan to go to the movies and I also need to work on the kitchen.  It's still a mess from the party, stuff's everywhere.  I have the last load of laundry going right now so that will be done for a few days.

I contacted State Farm yesterday about the water damage from our little BBQ flood.  I ended up talking to 3 people and they were all very helpful and someone should contact me today from the general contractor we chose.  I'm not sure if there's enough damage to even claim but we'll see.

Stay hydrated, it's gonna be another scorcher.

Stephanie,
You deserved a day off to rest and recouperate from this weekend.  I felt bad leaving you with everything to clean up. I hope the damage to the house from the water is not too bad.  Thanks again for a great time.

Good morning.  I'm still at my kitchen painting.  I did get the outside of the cabinets cleaned and spackled yesterday.  I played a little too much on facebook.  Today I HAVE to start at 9:00 a.m. and get as much painting done today as possible, hopefully finishing today, but if not, tomorrow.

Prayers for all who need them.

Congrats to Lynnette on her new niece and a great 1st day on her new job. 

Happy Birthday to Debra F.

Prayers to all who need them.

I hope to be able to come to the OH convention in Sept.  I had to keep a watch in the calendar to see if I could.  Does anyone need a roommate?  Let me know. 

Alissa, I know you're happy you're family will be here today.

Have a great Tuesday.

Morning
I was up too late doing some laundry after 2nd job last night. My head hit the pillow at 1, then I woke up at 4 for some unknown reason, but was able to go back to sleep until 5:45. Coffee will be my best friend today. I'm glad that I'm only working one job today but I still plan on hitting the gym after work. I started my day off with a protein smoothie, I'm trying to up my protein intake as I have been slacking on it.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning Train Riders!  Phew I've had a busy morning already.  Got up at 5, walked the dogs, had my protein shake then went to the gym for a short work out.  Did 10 min on the bike (per the doc I can do the bike and elliptical now, but have to wait another week or so for the treadmill).  Came home, got showered and dressed, made lunches and breakfast, paid bills, then off to work.  Oops, car won't start, had to call Jeff back (luckily he wasn't too far away yet) to jump start my car.  Think it was cranky from being ignored for over a week.  Stopped at Kroger on the way to work to pick up a couple things and managed to get to work only 15 min late.  OK, can I take a nap now??

I'm feeling much better, just get tired quicker than I'd like.  The doc mentioned that I'm obviously still swelling from the hernia and probably also still from the panni in Dec.  However he mentioned I'm at the point they'd like to see my turn the corner and start going down again.  I'm up 15lbs from my lowest weight on their scale.  He told me yet again that he can definitely see me below 200lbs and we talked about different types of workouts, etc.  I kept my cals below my personal goal yesterday, and will do it again today.  I've stalled since my panni and 6 months is long enough.  Time to get re-motivated to finish the losing so I can focus on the living.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Debbi

Morning!

Wow, I can post at work.  Maybe just for today but I will take it.

Had the most awesome weekend.  Steph, you and Clay just rock and are so wonderful to open your home to Emm and me for so long.  This break was so very much needed.  Thank you again.

Our drive home yesterday was about 7 hours.  Several stops and we took the a different route to get down to Shiner to pick up the Madeline.  She didn't even believe we were there and is so content to be home with us.  When we finally got home at 7pm, I still did an HEB run.  Got food packed for the rest of the work week.  I must must behave for the next 3 weeks at least, since i have a doctors appointment and don't want to be scolded!  Yep, i'm up 5 pounds from last week, so maybe i should just stand outside and sweat it off.  I made a couple protein shakes and packed high protein for the week.  I feel every ounce of the extra weight, so that is good incentive to get it back off.  And my smallest clothes are pulling.. Can't have that.

Came to work to 300+ emails and i'm still going through those.  Also have my annual review scheduled for Thursday.  Will ask for special thoughts then.  I have a much more positive attitude this year and just will do my best and take what I get.  But every good thought helps.

Okay, break is over already and the protein shake is almost gone.  Prayers to so many in need.  Happy Birthday Debra and belated to our Annette.

Happy Surgiversary early to my Steph!!!  There is someone else, but I can't remember.

Blessings to the rest.
