Not a lot going on in my world. Work is slow, guess everyone is waiting for Black Friday sales! I've already got most of my Thanksgiving stuff. I do still need to get a couple more aluminum pans. DH and I might go to a movie tomorrow afternoon. Other than that I have to get some house cleaning done. My sister & her family are coming down from IA in 2 weeks for her daughter's college graduation. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Stay warm!!!

Good Friday Everyone,
Hope everyone has had a good week and is ready for the upcoming weekend. I for one am very glad that it is friday. I don't really have plans for the weekend other than a support breakfast and church on sunday. I am grateful today that we have second chances in our lives. One of my Teen Challenge men who left the program 8 months ago returned to the program on tuesday and I got to see him last night at chapel. For you who don't know. I volunteer at Teen Challenge on thursday nights after chapel. I bring cookies, brownies...fudge and other goodies to these men trying to change from a life of drugs or drinking. I am SO grateful for these precious guys and for the chance that Teen Challenge offers them. BTW...I do NOT work for them...one of my sons went through the program and I saw a need for the guys to get home baked things so I take care of that for the 36 men there. Grateful that my BP is down this AM and that the scale is moving down. Grateful for all the good things in my life along with the bad. Even though I hate bad things...they always seem to teach me some life lessons that I may need in the future. Grateful for God and all that he has done in my family and my life. Grateful for my WLS and my weight loss. Grateful for OH and for everyone on the messageboards being there for me and answering questions when I felt lost. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a amazing weekend.

I have Google set as my home page and when I cranked up my laptop this AM I was surprised to see that they don't make reference to today being the 50th anniversary of JFK. 
Wet and cold today! Have over 2.5 inches in the rain gage. Time to break out the long johns. Hope the officer who worked last night remember to put the buckets out in our office. We are budgeted to get a new roof on our building, it's a 100+ year old bank, but till then we have some major leaks to contend with. I'll move my printer and work laptop to the conference table it's that bad!
Bundle up, keep the rain gear handy and have a happy, happy, happy weekend!
Good Thursday Everyone,
Today I am grateful that it's not still wednesday. I had LOTS of un-needed drama in my life. I am so grateful that I had my 8 yr. check up and my bariatric surgeon and all my labs were perfect !!! I was so thrilled to hear that...but my BP is very high due to drama before my appointment and it was very high all day long and is still high this AM. I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go to my PCP and be put on BP meds. UGH I have NEVER had high BP and it really makes me angry that now thinner I need it. Guess I just don't handle things now as well as I did when I was large. I am grateful though that everything was perfect except that and a small gain ( which they said could have been water weight ). Grateful that God has watched over me since my BP has been yo-yoing for a year due to stress. I am grateful for such a caring bariatric staff at my surgeon's office who keep encouraging me and listen to me when I go in. Grateful for waking alive and healthy today. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day. I know I plan on it.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

So true, so true.
Only deviation today is seeing my PCP.
Go forth and get your running around in before the weather changes!
today I'm thankful for all the friends I have made over the last 4 yrs. WLS has given me a support group of wonderful people, who are now as close to me as family! Life is so much more enjoyable when you have friends to share it with. Thank you God for all these great people in my life.
