Happy Friday Everyone,

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend.    Where I live I'm not sure what mine will consist of.    We had snow yesterday and today they are predicting a wintery mix.    I am suppose to lead my OH Support Group this sunday afternoon and if the temps don't go up and the chance of this messy weather go down I will cancel.     Today I AM grateful for the beautiful snow but I am not too happy driving in it or so to speak driving with OTHER people in it.   I am safe and take things slow and easy but trust me....people here in Texas don't know how to drive in it and accidents were everywhere yesterday.    Today I am grateful for my life and that God allowed me to wake up today.....grateful it is friday and that I don't have to get out in the weather if I don't want to.    Grateful that none of my family was in any accidents yesterday.   Grateful for my WLS, OH, these forums and life itself.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for and have a amazing weekend.

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

This is where we'll be next week!  Hopefully there won't be a repeat of the infamous incident with the fire and resulting plumbing issues or a virus outbreak.

Stay warm and bon voyage!

Our monthly support group meeting is planned for this coming sunday ( Provided we don't have icy roads ).     It was changed from last sunday to this due to Super Bowl Sunday.    Hope everyone can make it to the meeting.   Support is VERY important for our WLS journeys.   Hope to see you there.   If you plan on attending please let me know.    If the roads are icy I will cancel the monthly meeting.    Have a blessed day and drive safely with snow coming.

Happy Pre-Friday Everyone,

 

Hope everyone is having a good week.    I got a call from my middle son last night and someone hacked his email and changed his password.   He called me of all people for advice.   I am pretty much computer illiterate.    LOL  Made me feel good though that he thought I had answers for him.   I do find things out though because I google to find answers.   LOL   Today I am grateful that my eyes opened and it's suppose to snow here.   Thank God it will be a dry snow and snow ONLY.    Tomorrow ( I hope the weatherman are wrong ) we are expected to get a wintery mix.    I hate it when it sleets and ices up.    OK back to being grateful.....I am grateful for my life and health.   Grateful that my husband is going to the doctor in the AM for his shortness of breath.    Grateful for my WLS and all the weight that I have kept off for the past 8+ yrs.    Grateful for my precious fur babies who one is right here and such a momma's boy.   Grateful for all the blessings that God has allowed me to experience in my life and in the lives of my family.    Grateful for another day and second chances.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed and safe day.

 

 

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Bottom line this morning - it is C-O-L-D!  

Scales took a dip this morning.  Not a big one but got me off my upper end.

Staying warm and work are one and two on the agenda.

Put your long johns, or a Union suit, on and go do your thing.

Good morning,

 

It's is cold and windy, thinking I might need two pair of long johns on today, 

 

Slept in my own bed last night. Going to work a couple hours at home than bundle up and head to hospital and work rest of the day from there.

 

No real change on DH, just waiting on that section of bowel to start doing its job.

 

Have a great day!

Topic: WEDNESDAY GRATEFUL POST

Good Wednesday Everyone,

Hump Day has finally arrived and so has our super cold weather.   Well....super cold for Texas that is.   It is 28* this AM and that is our daytime HIGH.   We have snow flurries in the forcast for the next few days and forcast for a wintery mix as well.   UGH How I HATE being cold and I can't seem to get warm.   BUT I AM grateful that I woke up this AM and that I am alive.   LOL  OK enough venting about the weather.   I know 30* is a heat wave in some parts of the country and it was colder here yesterday.    I do have so much to be grateful for and so do you as well...I'm just not grateful for our weather today.    LOL   I am so grateful that over 9 yrs ago a friend of mine told me about her WLS after coming to visit me.    I am so grateful after she kept bugging me that I looked into and decided to have my WLS.   I have never regretted having this life saving surgery and it was so worth anything I went through to get approved.     Even though I am not where I want to be weight wise I am SO much better than I was at almost 300 lbs at 5'1" tall.     Grateful for OH and all the forums, encourging help for others, and geat support on here.     Grateful for all the things that I can now do that was only a dream before my WLS.    Grateful for my faith in God and for answered prayers everyday.    PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.    Have a blessed day and stay warm today.

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
