Good morning, my TMB family! Didn't wake up until that dang squawking alarm went off..hate that stupid thing...I'll be so glad when my bio clock adjusts to the time change, and I get back to waking up BEFORE the alarm (which will happen just BEFORE the NEXT time change, of course!)...

Busy day ahead--for ALL of us, no doubt--what's new about THAT ???

Family, I'd appreciate it if you would add me to your prayers list, in the "non-emergency" column. I have had a job opportunity present itself-one I wasn't pursuing-but feel I shouldn't brush off, with out discussing/negotiating. I have a dinner appt/interview of sorts tomorrow night. They called me. I wasn't looking, but it came at a really good time, so I can't help but think it's a "God thing", and that I'm supposed to be listening...

It's Wednesday-you know what THAT means-time for your WOOHOO!!It's my fave part of Wednesdays!

My WOOHOO for the week, comes via our friend, YVONNE, and her site, www.bariatricgirl.com  She did an article/blog, where she interviewed me, around this time last year. We talked about regain/reaching goal "way out"/etc. A lady named Denise, in NY, read it-after all this time-and it touched her, enough to comment/contact us/get back on track/etc. That meant the world to me. Y went so far as to start an "archive of the week"-starting with that article. For sure I did not even WANT to eat junk yesterday!

Hope everyone has an extra wonderful Wednesday!

What's YOUR WOOHOO?????

Thanks for reminding me of this Gina.  I'm doing alot of reading of Dr. Connie's book - eat it up - trying to refocus on Phyllis - doing better, but it is a struggle when you don't want to walk to the bathroom let alone excercise.......the bike has helped a little with the surgery knee - so thats good

Prayers for your interview and that God will lead you where he wants you to be....(((Huggs)))

 Hey Gina,

I went to the doctor....had 4 X Rays...3 hip and 1 lower back.....all came back totally normal.    Doc said it probably just did a job of shaking up my body...not even bruised bones.    I asked him then WHY am I hurting SO much.    He said no clue other than the "jarring" that my body went through.   Thank GOD I didn't crack/dislocate/ break anything.   He said it will probably take a a week or so to get back to normal.     OK....enough for now but I still hurt.   UGH


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 Good Morning Gina, Meggie, Karla and TMB Family,

Gina I AM calling the doctor this AM.   I am a STUBBORN ole lady.   LOL  I am NOT in lots of pain because if I was....there is NO WAY I wouldn't have already gone.   I am very uncomfortable and it HURTS to sit.    I truly think I am just bruised to the bone but needless to say....I am going to go get it checked out anyway.   I baked cookies yesterday and took them to some of my favorite Teen Challenge guys ( not where my son is at ) last night along with 3 - 12 packs of cokes for their snack after their tuesday night chapel.     They were ALL thrilled to see me to say the least.    They now have 6 new guys.   I was SHOCKED to see that many in a week.     They are now full at that center.     One of the new guys said he had heard about me.   Hope it was all good.   LOL     I guess my WOO HOO for today is I am waving the white flag and going to the doctor to get my injury checked out.   Love you guys and have a wonderful hump day today.

Hugs and prayers for you my friend.

I hope that the doctors find something to explain the pain - but I pray that it is nothing too serious and that in time - it will work itself out...

Luv ya girl !!
