Welcome to the First Day of Spring! Chilly start but will be nice later today. Jan said she saw a few bluebonnets on her way home from Conroe yesterday. Have not checked the yard to see if we any this year.
Managed to squeeze in some walking yesterday when I got in. Scales moving back in the right direction or at least they did this morning.
Another day of fighting crime by fighting grime ahead.
Go do your thing.
Wow, what a crazy day it was yesterday...busy all day at work!! Not much planned for today... Work, cook dinner and watch some TV. Might take a walk after dinner if it warms up enough. Got to get these 5 lbs off, before they start to multiply ! Enjoy the day...

Good Wednesday Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well and Happy Hump Day !!! Everyday when I wake up I am so grateful that the good Lord gave me another day to live and hopefully do better in every aspect of my life this day than I did yesterday. Nothing is ever perfect but I can always improve. Today I choose to be grateful even though I have a dentist appointment at 10 to get a crown re-placed. I truly dread this today. It's OK though...I am a tough person and I will survive. Today I am SO grateful that I could calm my precious little 19 mo. old granddaughter's fears of the garbage truck last night. Mimi to the rescue. LOL My son put on facebook that she was screaming at nap time and really really very bad at bedtime. I went out last night and bought her a book about garbage truck and went to Toys R Us and bought her a Play Dough Garbage Truck that pretty much looks like a real one and the reviews on that toy were really good. She got to play with it and see where garbage went and how the truck worked ( and what child doesn't love play dough.....LOL ). My son and DIL weren't 100% thrilled with that choice but I bathed her and put her to bed and no screaming last night at bedtime about the garbage truck. YEAH !!! That is the one thing that comes to my mind that I am SO grateful for today. Sometimes we have to just put our thoughts and fears into the head of the person who has those fears. If this applies to you and you are pre-op.....Don't be afraid. Face your fears head one and kick them in the head. I am going on 9 yrs. post op WLS and it is the VERY BEST decision I have ever made. It seriously gave me my life back and I have never regretted having it done. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good morning
I am up, dressed and ready to go before 6am. Waiting on dad to pick me up, he is having several test done at UTSouthwestern today so took today off to go with him. Surprised he is not here yet, he's always early. Guess I can nap till he gets here.
Watching survivor and cooking dinner is my plans for tonight.
Have a great day!

Part of work today involves a trip to the tire shop to get the first flat on my truck fixed and schlepp some stuff to the DA's office. Need to exercise again when I get home.
Go do your thing.
If I may ask, who did you switch to for your surgery?
Very busy today!.. Just now 3:35 pm jumping on the train....It is a pretty day.. went out at 1 to do my daily errands. Opened the sun roof it was nice.. little windy over in Dallas, but I'll take the wind over the cold temps any day...Hope everyone is having a good day.

Happy Tuesday Everyone,
Hope your having a great week and are doing well in your WL journey. I'm having a great week and I know it will hopefully get better everyday. The scale is moving downward and at going on 9 yrs. post op when that happens....it is great. That lets me know my "tool" of choice is still working. LOL I knew it was even without the scale moving downward. Today I am grateful for so many things as I am everyday. Today I am so grateful for my WLS and all the choices of surgeries today.....grateful to God and my faith in him and answered prayers. Grateful for family, friends, life and my health. Grateful that I haven't had any major weight gain since my life pretty much stays extremely stressful for the most part. Grateful that our weather is ( hopefully ) settling down and hopefully we will have less winter weather and more spring like temps. Grateful for all the things that I do everyday that before my surgery were only dreams or wishes of being able to do. Grateful for Obesity Help and all the support and encouragement on this site that has been a very huge part of my life for the last 9+ yrs. Grateful for you *****ad my posts and for my support group members. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed tuesday.
