Frisky Friday WLS Express

Mornin, y'all!  Wow, haven't been on the train in months!  Life is good, I have maintained roughly the same weight for 4 months.  I am happy here.  It's not perfect, but its normal and gonna do for now.  We are gonna try to have a baby, then I will reclaim my body and do the heavy lifting, so to speak, to get to goal.  I think I have found my body's happy place for now.  I feel normal. 

I am praising the Lord for the chance to belong to a community of amazing people that care enough to keep this kind of support available.  It is time I came back and participated again.  My pastor has a phrase that I have adopted when I get stuck in a loop of dwelling on past mistakes or drama.  "Yesterday ended last night.  Today is a new day."  So, hello new day!  I pray each of you is happy, and healthy, in this moment. 

Happy Friday, and have a spectacular weekend! 

Blessings,
~Jenn

Jenn yeah for you!!! I know the feeling of I'm here and ok with it - more latter maybe - I thought I would push hard to lose more after Rach but dispite sporatic pushes I am doing well just maintianing - yeah it'd be great to be 150 pounds but I haven't been 150 pounds since I was under 10, it just isn't in the cards for me. being strong and healthy IS however and that is where I am right now:) and it sounds like you are too

excited about the baby thing - it has got to be catching or something I know lots of pg ladies right now - hope you join them soonest.

love to you and yours - miss you guys

Danni,

You have been one of my chief supporters, and inspirations.  I miss you, too!  I am not the gym rat you are, but I live vicariously through you.  You are a phenomenal woman, and I count myself blessed to call you my friend.  Love ya girl!  My love to you & yours!  You guys, and especially Tim stay in my prayers.  Your family is representative of the amazing sacrifice many of our families are making to keep me able to be the opinionated woman I am daily.  I pray I never loose sight of that.  Thank you.  K, I think I am done being gooey now.  LOL

"Yesterday ended last night.  Today is a new day." I REALLY like this phrase - may be worth adopting!

He is an amazing guy!  Just turned 82, so he has some wisdom, and this, I think, is some of it!  hehe

Jenn, good luck on trying to have a baby.  It's good seeing some of you posting that haven't been around much.

I love that saying it's something we should all follow as we continue on our WLS journey and our life journey.

Morning all - are we sticking with our positive theeme? Hope so cause here goes -

I am positive today....... will be a busy productive day and that I will find joy in it.

normal busy crazyness here - I was home all day yesterday - after running teen to doc, mcDs, and school and stopping at teh bank to get a copy of a check I wrote for gs cookies I never got - hope to hear back from the cookie chairlady today - need to get those sucker here and shipped off asap b/c I LOVE somoas and so does Tim so I ordered 5 or 6 boxes of those plus a bunch of others - anyhow got all 3 bathroom under the sink cabnets reorganized, linen closet and coat closet - have another box of stuff to donate (about a bag and ahalf - it's a big box) my goal is to see how long I can keep decluttering 3 trash bags a week of stuff to donate to goodwill. - I hate clutter and it has snuck back in big time - now I only have the two outside stoarage closets - neither are horrible - have some stuff in there I know needs to go away plus I want to get all my canning stuff and all my holiday stuff in ONE place - well except the tree I don't wanna move that LOL

than comes the scary part - we are going to clear out the gear locker  - closet/sm room about 6 by 8 or so - crammed full of dead computers, reloading stuff, camping stuff and army crap - 90% of which is NOT going back in there - I want to make Tim a reloading/hide from the kids room out of that before he gets back - some of it wll have to stay like the reloading stuff and the safe, probably sleepign bags too - but then I will get a big sturdy table so he can get a decent press and have fun :)

2 weeks left this term, doing good so far in both classes - scary stuff the last couple of weeks wondering if I am going to pull it all off but I have to have faith I will.

ready for the weekend - I am learning to sit down on the weekends and watch movies with the kids - yes LEARNING it requires me to be relititvly still but they love it and we can all sleep in if we want - which means I have E time and they sleep late LOL

have a great day everyone - remember you had your surgery to be HEALTHY so do what you need to to be HEALTHY, get those VITS, PROTIEN, WATER AND MOVEMENT into your day - set an alarm, put it on the calendar, write it on a sticky note, tatoo it on your eye balls whatever you need to remid you to MOVE, DRINK and get those VITS and PROTEIN!!!!
your surgoen fixed your guts now you fix your head and take care of YOU!!

peace
Danni

Good Morning Mari and the rest of my TMB Family,

Yaahooo for Fridays.  This is a special Friday cause Tim and Jon will be here for the weekend.  I am so excited.  Have not seem them since before I went to Florida!  Going to spend this day getting things cleaned up around here.  It looked great when I got home from Florida.  Mark had got it all cleaned up, but did not last long.  It's going to warm here this weekend so hope to be able to put Jon in his stroller and take a walk tomorrow.  Eric started Track yesterday.  He came home a little winded but I think as time goes on he will be fine.  He just needs to practice.  According him he thinks he wi be running sprints cause that is what he is good at.  Will be anxious to go to a meet and see how he does.  He is turning into a typical teenager.  Not to bad so far.  If the only battle I have to pick with him is to get him to clean his room I am lucky.  Sorry I have been so down lately, but today is a new day and a new positive me!  Thank you all for setting me straight.  Well almost time to get Eric up, and I want to have the rest of my coffee before he gets up!  Prayers this morning, for all those spoken and unspoken.  Have a blessed day.  LOve you guys.

I get off work here in a little over an hour.  Sure hope it is Frisky Friday, if you know what I mean.  I am so bad.

Had a good day yesterday.  Received my Rangers tickets in the mail.  Listened to the first game of the spring on the radio.  Then we went to check on Mary's new dentures.  Had the entire bill explained to us.  She is working on getting screws implanted into her gums to hold her lower teeth in place, without using any adhesive.

Then we ate at Red Lobster.  Very good.  Courtesy of the timeshare thing we did a few weeks ago.

On to my granddaughter's spring program.  Went home and watched Survivor and a few other shows.  Then came into work for 4 hours. 

So now, it is almost over (Thursday that is).  But Fridays are easier.

Have a good one, whatever you do.

Good morning!  I have a meeting this morning with all the other diagnosticians in our ARD room at the HS.  I am making "Jalapeno Pie" to take...all eggs, jalapenos and cheese.  It's high in protein!  They love it and like something to munch on when meeting.  I told them I was bringing something legal for me to eat.

Going to a baseball game in Huffman after work.  I won't be home until late tonight.

Prayers for Eric and Tracey and all others who need them. 

Have a great Friday!
