Where are YOU now?

Good Morning Familia!!

At one point or another we struggle in some way, shape or form.  I, myself, am struggling with many things, BUT working to correct it!

I didn't think as a lap band patient, I could be B12 deficient, I am so.. sublingual B12's for me.
Recently had a fill last week, hadn't had one since Jan 2009. I am struggling to lose approximately 30 lbs.

As it's been said many times before... WE are our OWN worst critic. In my most humble opinion, I think that if I were back in  Big D, I wouldn't be typing this post!   Why? Because Big D and Htown have a support system. 

Thank goodness for the TMB and Lab Band boards, it's the only means of support in my case.

I am hoping to make a big effort in posting more often so that I get the motivation I once had.

TMB Rocks like no other!!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!


Blessings,

Nina

I'm RIGHT HERE!! Love you sissy!

Love you back!!! Have a great day and I am PROUD OF YOU!!!!

I'm not where I want to be, but, with the grace if GOD, I WILL be, if I keep trying, day by day, and never give up. I am, and will forever be, a work in progress.

NINA-how often could you possibly get up here to DFW? TRACEY spoke of planing a dinner, possibly the 2nd week of June-I know she'd try to accomodate your schedule-we would soooooooooooo LOVE to see you!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure Gina when I will be up there.  Can't plan anything since it never goes as planned!!
I know for sure I need my people time!!!  Last time I was there was back in November.  I will surely keep you posted!!

Love ya!

Blessings,

Nina

I just emailed Kathy and Jenn to see if they could do June 12 or 19...   Nina..either of those dates work for you?

Hey Tracey!!!

Actually I am having my daughter's graduation cookout the weekend of the 12th.  The 19th might be better.  I have to check with GG (grumpy gringo) oops I mean my husband to see what his schedule is like for that week.  I will keep you abreast!!!

Love and miss ya!!

Blessings,

Nina

 Nina.....remember.....we can DO HARD THINGS !!!  LOL  I say that for me too.    I am big time at procrastinating doing things ( like activating my gym membership I got for Christmas ) LOL.    I keep saying....when I make my mind up to go 5 days a week like I use to.    Probably not going to happen or yet anyway.   Liz put me in my place at R & S on saturday and told me to go 2 or 3 days rather than 5 to begin.   I did love working out so much before the gym I was going to quit having exercise classes there.    Oh well....I hurt my shoulders so hopefuly later in the week or next week I will join for sure.    Don't give up on your dream weight.   I am going to work diligently on getting my weight to where I am comfortable again.   Love you and miss you so much.   Have you thought about being a OH Support group leader???   That is just a thought.....I am sure you aren't the only WLS patient in Round Rock or surrounding area.

I have thought about it and started the process last year, but then you know what happened with Chito.  Honestly I've posted else where to start a group but no replies.  There is a group that does meet but it is not often or impromptu like back "home".  Two schoolmates have been supportive and are doing what they can to eat healthy.  We exchange healthy recipes so that is surely a plus!! 

I hope you have a great day and you are always in my prayers!!

Love and Blessings,

Nina

VIVIAN-there is always a way to "get around" ot using the "impaired body parts". This is my 7th week of boot camp and I still have to avoid using my impaired right knee, so we work on my right hamstring instead. There are some things I will NEVER be able to do..and that's okay. I just do MY personal best, and I have to admit-I am SO jazzed to see some MUSCLES under my fat/skin-an absolute FIRST for me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start that gym thing-do it for YOU-and ONLY FOR YOU-You won't be sorry-I promise!!
