Terrific Thursday WLS Express

Thanks Liz.  I know she needs walking and I've got to start doing that.  She has full use of my backyard (which is pretty big).  A pet door to go in and out as she pleases.  Sometimes I can look out there and she's running full speed round and round in circles over the whole yard.  Funny !!  She is a dachshund/beagle and is a loving little thing...just eating all the girls toys and anything else she finds to chew on!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good Morning TMB!!!

Trying my best to stay positive and FOCUS on what I need to do for myself and for my family.  Not always easy when I allow myself to get bogged down in the "what ifs" of the situation with Justin.  That's when I have to remind myself I've put it in God's hands and that I need to put it back there cause I can do nothing in this situation but HE can do everything.  Was reminded of that last night at our Wednesday night Bible study.  Wish we could have that group meet every night!! 

Nothing much going on here.  Gotta go pay bills today. Yuck.  Not fun, but must be done.  The good news (my terriffic Thursday) is - I will have money left over when I'm done.  Not much, but enough to get me thru till payday on Tuesday.  :)  The Back to School expenses really add up.  Money for musical instrument rentals, gym uniforms (the school decided to get new ones this year, ugh!!), school lunches (which I forgot to budget for - OOPS!!) new clothes, school supplies (and they always add stuff to the list) the list goes on.....

ANYWAY, have a great day.  Love and prayers for all.  MAKE GOOD CHOICES!!

Good morning everyone,

I have now been unemployed for one week.  ouch.  I know there is something out there for me though so I'm not in a panic yet.  I did qualify for unemployment, have the paperwork here, so that is a blessing.  Guess that makes this a terrific Thursday.  Going to focus on wedding stuff today after I enter my job search stuff for the week.  

Danni, please send Kennoth Happy Birthday wishes from Aunt Net and Heli.  H dog is laying right beside me here telling me to type that. 

We had a great support group meeting last night.  Even had a couple new people come.  Debbi had a great topic on stress eating which came at the perfect time for alot of us.  

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

Good morning Train Riders!  It will be a terrific day just because.  I'm battling a bit of a depression (go figure), but it's not too bad.  I can keep it in check if I stay busy and occupied with something, and it only starts to creep up when I have quiet down time.  So my goal is to stay busy, set lots of little goals for myself and work though it.

I should hear about my blood work today and hopefully not have to do anything further just wait for my body to adjust.  I am going to work on losing some more weight now.  I got down to 251.5 last Monday and am back up to 258.5 today.  I'm reasonably certain I didn't eat enough to actually add that much weight, but it's discouraging anyway.  So I've got a good plan for the day today, high protein meals planned out through dinner already.  I need to work on a menu for the next couple of weeks and that will be one of my goals tonight when I get home.  I also need to seriously look at my schedule and decide where I'm willing to put regular exercise in. 

We did have a really good meeting last night.  We discussed emotional eating and hunger vs satiety.  Had a couple of new people come and several regulars.  Looking forward to more meetings like that in the future.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Debbi

glad the meeting went good last night!! hopfully you will keep having a good group - I MISS my peeps

you were doing good with working out in the mornings - can you go back to that? I know that the latter in the day it gets the better my excuses not to work out get

love ya sis

Good morning.  Today is my last day off this week cuz I'll be working all weekend while you guys play.  I can at least say all my laundry is done, the kitchen is spotless and the rest of the house is vacummed and picked up.  I need to make a Sam's run today but that's the only thing I HAVE to do.

My weight is back down and I'm sitting here in my size 6 jeans-yup, sitting.  I had the best dessert last night.  I made a pineapple/coconut protein drink and also a chocolate/strawberry one which I froze.  Later I took 1/2 of each and put it in a bowl and would of sworn I was eating ice cream.  It was delicious.

It's good to see so many posts today.  It's been pretty sparse around herre lately.  Make it a good one-only YOU can decide what to eat and what to pass up.

yummmo post the recope PLEASE

I drink my 2 basic shakes most days - just make them, drink them and keep going but a treat woudl be nice - one I could feel good about woudl be even better:)

Danni, I put it on Karla's SSSS&D post.  I bet you could make it in your ice cream maker and it would be even better.

Mornin' all - been up a couple of hours fiddle-fartin' around the house.  Dishwasher has already completed its cycle, dryer is humming away.

Trying to catch up on the OH life.  I didn't get on the boards at all last night.  We had ordered a Pay Per View race last night.  Some of the NASCAR drivers go dirt track racing every year for a charity.  This years it was for 4 different organizations that provide aid to wounded service men and women and their families.  They provide a home away from home (much like the Ronald McDonald houses) for families while their loved ones are getting medical care.  I usually don't care for PPV stuff, but this one is always for a worthy cause.

Getting excited about the conference.  Now is dawning on me it's time to hit the closet and start getting stuff ready for the clothing exchange.  I don't know that I'll be so neat and organized this time around.  I won't have as much stuff as I did at RYD 2009, but should have a good selection of 10-12 / L/XL range.

Does anyone have a need for some coats?  Or know someone who could use some 3XL coats?  I've got a black leather one and a really, really heavy (like working in Wisconsin in the dead of winter heavy) dress coat and another pretty heavy coat.  If no one speaks up here, I'll bring them to the conference.  The heavy, heavy coat is a little over the top for Texas winters, but maybe someone can grab it and send it to someone in a cold weather state.

Liz - I wish I could fix your give a damn, but mine's in pretty bad shape itself.  I'm pretty disgusted with work.  THANKFUL beyond words that I have a job, just could really use a real project that uses what I know and gets me out of the house! LOL

King still ailing (God help me through this one!).  But this morning said his pain is down to a 7.0 on the Richter scale.  His pain tolerance isn't real high, so anyone else probably would call it a 3.  My poor hubby!

Looking for something to do on Saturday - so if there's anything going on around town let me know!  I might even be convinced to drive to the West side! (Subject to change if it rains and the guys don't go to the deer lease to set up more feeders, etc.).

It will be a Terrific Thursday.  I will be going to water aerobics tonight.  After yesterday's 30 mins on the treadmill and hour with the trainer, my legs and azz hurt, but I'm going back for more!
