monday wls express

Good morning.  Wow...these weeks seem to be flying by this year.  It's hard to believe that it's only a couple of more months to Christmas and the end of the year.  Ben just left to go back to Aggieland for the week.  He has 2 big tests this week: Math and Biology.  He'll be studying hard until Friday. 

I have a meeting at my church after work today.  It has something to do with SS classes so I thought I better go see what is going on.

Back to basics for eating...been doing too many carbs.  Join us in "Obedient October B2B" for accountability!

Prayers for all who need them...Steph for her knee, Alissa and Bryan for the Flu, George and Mary for their dog as well as Gina and family, Gaye from her surgery and all others I can't remember at the moment in my sr. citizeness!

Have a great Monday.

Morning
I've been at work since 3. Its gonna be a long one I have to work both jobs today which means I won't get home until 10pm. Son's birthday dinner last night was good. Hubby figured out why he was in such a bad mood all day yesterday, he leaving on his business trip and doesn't want to go. Well we don't want him to go either especially for 4 weeks. He just got home from being gone 5. We really can't ***** to much at least he has a job and I keep telling him that to. So today I'm pretty bummed.

Everyone try to have a great day

that whole gainfully employed thing can be a bummer along with a blessing - feeling that now too - hugs and prayers for a fast non extended 4 weeks

Does not eating count cause with both Alissa and I down with the flu I am down 6 pounds about since Thurs morning. Actually even though I have not been well have been trying to keep active, did a med run, a table pickup and delivery, returned Alissa scooter, laundry, and cleaned a bathroom. I refuse to let an illness or my wieght define me. Better to be a geek who is overwieght than an overwieght geek.

Morning all.  I'm on vacation from my fulltime job this week.  To get ready for my week I told no one to wake me up and that they are all to pack their own lunches, set their own alarms and make their own coffee this week.  After a couple of moans they teamed up and divided up duties.  This morning went off without a hitch, so I guess it works.  How is this WLS related?  Becuase it saves my sanity and lets me have some ME time.  :) 

Meeting my UTA advisor at 930am and then a doctor's appointment at 1045am to discuss my arthritis treatment since I was unable to get a refill on my meds.  I'm hoping there is a new treatment plan and not a bunch of stupid tests. 

Have a great day all.  HUGS!

ME time counts for a LOT  - I took 90 mins at the gym yesterday all by myself - needed that hope you get to enjoy the rest of your week off and that the doc doesn't order a ton of tests

With a 5lb fluctuation on any given day, this does not make me a failure. I decided to weigh only every few days and not be a slave to the hag!!

weigh only every few days and not be a slave to the hag!!

you are a brave woman Meggie would scar the crap out of me - I fluxup and down - 2-4 pounds mostly the 2 unless I am coming into my cycle

Honey, my clothes warn me more than anything! Almost everything I have is fitted so if I go above my fluctuation I really feel it!! However that said, the scale is in the doorway right in front of the john so it constantly reminds me it is there!!

Good morning...isn't it AWESOME to see Miss Karen back on the train.   I don't have to keep humming "The day the music died" anymore, lol.

I'm waiting on the doctor's office to open so I can see about having this knee loooked at.  I really think it's nothing but Clay and my Mom are insistant that I have it x-rayed.  It's still pretty swollen and tender.

Hailey and Jody came by last night after they left the State Fair.  I'm REALLY trying to be nice.  He was very sweet and talkative to me.  Clay wouldn't talk to him at all.  I brought her back a lot of stuff from Mom's so they came by to get it.  I also have a car for him if he wants it.  I bought my Mom's car which is a 96 Taurus with 109K miles but it's in perfect shape.  I offered it to him for what I paid for it.  I told him I'd keep it here until he pays me for it or I'll sell it independantly to someone else.  I figure he can own it in less than 2 months.  He's has a Camry that needs a new transmission so he will make a decision as to which one he wants.  When Mom moves the moving van will tow it down here for me. 

I bet I spend most of my day doing laundry and catching up.  Give me a shout if you're bored, I'll be around.
