Super Sunday WLS Express

hey my sis,
been missing you here! Mom gave me money for Christmas too, and i was told i was not to use it for anything other than gym membershipt (had told her i been wanting to join).  Had been looking at 24 hour fit and Vivian told me that if you have a Costco membership, i think you can get a 2 year for $299 which is something like $12/month.  So im looking into that. Of course i will hvae to kick in some of my own $$ but will be worth it i think.

Good morning EO! I have had my 2 cups this morning and I am working on moving forward-that is my word for this year...Got all my Christmas down and put up. DH seems to be recovering well from his surgery, It has been over three weeks now and they are starting PT on Monday. We went to Cheddars last night. His first time to go "out" since his surgery. I had their Asian chicken and shrimp salad. YUMMM! Brought half of it home. Well, sounds like Monday is the day for us all to get over the holiday hump and get started with the new year and renewed resolve! I am up for it! I did have a 3 lb gain during the holidays and have not worked out since DH surgery! I have got to start going back to the gym this week. Prayers today for Meggie and Debbi's FIL and EO else who needs them. Love to all! Annette

Good morning, another day of work for me.  So far we don't have anyone in labor so another nurse and I have been having "Blackberry 101 Class".  She just got one, so we've been playing on them for hours.  YES, I know we're not allowed to have our phones at work but there's no bosses around today.  I can read FB but have to be careful posting cuz the boss is a "friend". 

Got a call from Mom yesterday.  She is supposed to have surgery this week for bladder cancer but they've postponed it cuz she failed her pre-op EKG. She didn't know what was wrong but they are requring cardiac clearance before her surgery.  I'm hopeful it's nothing major.  She's  had bladder cancer for years and has had a few different surgeries to remove tumors. 

I begin my "back to basics" tomorrow and I'm really dreading it.  I've really gotten used to eating what I want.  I can definately eat a lot more than I used to and it seems like I'm hungry a lot.  I will definately NEED to accountability of Karla's thread.

back to the real world here too - but that is OK - lots of things to look forward to over the next year - bff and fam are visiting this month, as is another loved one, march we are looking at doing the Disney thing to see my peeps run, may mom and Jennie and girls should be here for a nice long visit (should be less stressful  - more space and fewer peeps than Cmas) Sept is the cruse and Oct/Nov my love comes home and we are going road tripping - exploring the east coast some and then off to Texas for a week or so - Nov I should finish my AA and start on my batchors- all the fam is coming here for Cmas
so all in all 2010 should be busy and fun

I managed to not gain any weight on my trip - even first day home with travel swelling I am one pound less than the day I left - I know I am swollen b/c my wedding bands won't even go on - have drunk one litter of cl and have 4 more made - going to try to suck them down this morning.

put a yummy shrimp salad in the fridge last night - will have that for lunch - salad shrimp, tomaotes, avacado, cilartro green onions and tomatoe juice - I have had it before but have no clue what it is called

oh the teen was awsome last night - he not only unpacked stuff - he sorted the dirty laundry right into the hamper

ok off of here and feed Rach at least - I need another litter to drink before I have anything to eat - had a shake already

peace

Mornin' all....almost afternoon though.  Took the girls to Sunday School and then met Paul and my parents for breakfast.  They did most of the eating...I'm not a huge breakfast person.  Paul goes back to work tomorrow after being off for 5-6 days.  The girls don't go back to school until Wednesday.  I'll be finishing up getting everything bought so mom and dad won't have to mess with getting stuff for the girls while I recoop.  Surgery is Thursday morning, bright and early.  Haven't gotten too nervous just yet but as Thursday gets closer, I'm sure I will.  Just hope the pain isn't too horrible.  I'm more worried about the IV than anything else right now.  If it is anything like last time, yikes....three or four nurses trying to find a vein and all of them missed, poking me like a pin cushion.  My heart rate usually soars sky high as soon as they come in with that tray full of stuff.  Dr. L. said I could use Valium beforehand but have no idea how long before it goes into effect.  They finally ended up just putting me completely out and THEN started the IV.  MUUUUCH better idea!!!  Sheesh, already shaking just thinking about it.

Still trying to get all the gifts put away as well as decorations.  98% of it is put away already up in the attic.  We can at least walk through the garage now!

Getting cold outside!  Stay warm and hope everyone has a great rest of the day.
