terrific Tuesday WLS express

wow love the new pic! Dreamed that you got plastics  then went on a cruise with Emm to recoup lol. . 

Good Morning,
I can not believe is is already 11 days into August. .. I guess we will be seeing those school lights coming on again really soon.
Well, I did great for 13 days on the high protein and protein shake thing. But, I lost it yesterday. Major set back. I need to find a way for me to be able to consume more of the right foods that aren't so high in calorie. For you youngsters out there.. Once you get so far out, those slices of cold cuts, or a tablespoon of  peanut butter just doesn't cut it. Enjoy it now. I could at one time 3  or so years ago eat a tablespoon of peanut butter and I could feel that it was in my stomach. Now, that is just not happening. Am I looking for a pity party? Hell no. I have to do this on my own, but, with a lot of ideas from my friends and a lot of support from my friends. I am going to get onto spark people.com and do some calculating of the calories and try to come up with a plan. I have not given up. This is life. This is my life. I do not want to go back to the 400 lb person that I was almost 6 yrs ago.  So, like with anything else in life... this is a me-er road block on my highway of life.
Love you all . Thanks for the ones that responded to my text/email for assistance yesterday..
Now, Yall go out their and make this day the best it can be..

I didn't get no "text/email for assistance" yesterday...feeling kinda left out...cuz if I did, I would of responded.  Sweetie you're doing FANTASTIC!!  You have lost SO MUCH weight since I met you it's incredible.  One day at a time.  Remember we didn't gain the weight overnight so we're not gonna lose it that way either.  Plus you don't have much more to go and losing that last little bit is so hard.  Hang in there and text me if you need me cuz I WILL respond, lol.

Steph, I did not want to bother you on your vacation.. You are having a much needed and well deserved vacation.. Thanks.. Next time I will bother you.. LOL

Ok Kathy what am I going to do when I am in DE and this starts happening to me?  I am almost 2 years out and still get that full feeling but it scares me that the day will come that that does not happen anymore and I wont have the support that I have now to get through it, or someone there to KICK MY BUTT!  Love you girl.  Michelle

Good morning all...I'm about to get ready to head towards Dallas this morning, vacation's over.  We're just waiting for Houson rush hour traffic to disappear before we head out.  It's been a fun 4 days of surf, sun and time with Terry.  I don't go back to wor****il friday but Clay returns tomorrow.

Right before we left to come down here we discovered that the upstairs plumbing is still leaking.  Apparently it's not the toilet seal like we thought.  So now we have to hire a plumber to diagnose the problem and do the repairs before State Farm will go any further.  FUN!!

Hailey moves into her new apartment Saturday so I'll be helping her pack the next few days.  I have to work Fri-Sat-Sun so I can't help her physically move (what a shame).  So Clay and her will have to do all the heavy lifting, then I'll drive up on Mon and help her unpack and decorate.

Make it a good one and I'll check in when we get back home. 

Good Morning All,
Well, I almost killed myself weed eating and mowing my yard late yesterday afternoon.  I am completely exausted this morning from it.  Didn't finish up till 9 when it was too dark to go on.  The yard had grown so much with the rain we've had.  I'm glad the two older girls have a "camp" at the church they went to for MDO.  That gives me till 2:30, however, I'll still have Tori, the rambunchus (sp), into EVERYTHING, almost 1 1/2 yr old.  Man, she wears me out!!  Not planning on doing to much today but recover :)  Is it just Tues.?  Oh man, I'm ready for the weekend already!!  Y'all have a good one.

Blessings,
Carol

Happy Tuesday!

As far as work goes, this is just another week for me. I'll be working 8 hours of comp time this Saturday (we're out of money in the budget for overtime).  That's 8 more days to use for follow-up appointments and taking extra time off of work after surgery if I need it.  I have enough sick leave and annual leave that I would be okay without it, but I don't want to have to use that leave if I don't have to.  6 more days, and then I'm joining you guys on the loser's bench!

Laura, attending the outreach is a good idea. It gives you a chance to talk to VA employees face-to-face.  I'm not sure who is scheduled to go to that outreach, but I hope that, whoever it is, they can answer any questions you or your father may have.

Melanie

Thanks sweetie!  I'm really looking forward to it!!

Good morning my family,

Terrific Tuesday!  Let's see, I haven't eaten any chocolate in over a month.  In fact, I can't even remember the last time I did.  Now, other carbs, don't hold me down on, I am getting a wedding together.  LOL.  I was able to put together the flower girl basket and my bouquet last night and my hands are not sore, my neck is not sore, I feel great.  I still need the finishing touches.  I will put together Britt's bouquet tonight and then do the finishing touches on all of them together so they match.  I'm very please with my bouquet.  It turned out just the way I wanted it.

Hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday.  Saying prayers for all of you.
