Topic: RE: Late Wednesday Roll Call
Wow, I've just had a lot of unexpected excitement in my normally low key life out here in eastern nc. lol! My hubby got a interview for later on this month in our home state. we are Excited!! if the job is a good fit for him then we'll be here in NC another 17 months before the move... but still its a exciting new thing in our lives. All prayers would be very much appreciated!! He's such a hard worker, I just hope its a good fit for what he's looking for at this stage of his work.

I'm not sure if I've talked about this much but I'm having problems with my current gym. I love the place and the other ladies that workout there. The problem is the child care hours no longer work for me since I took a second job. I know the owner is stretched thin so I don't feel like I can ask for more child care hours just for me. Secondly, I don't really care for the front desk person. She is a bit inexperienced and/or selfish when it comes to customer service. At the end of the month I'm changing gyms. Makes me sad but I need more gym time at this point of my weight loss journey!

Hi Shannon,

I've been out of town... actually, I still am, but I haven't been online as much and I just saw your note. Hopefully, by now you are back and home and have begun one of the most amazing journeys of your lifetime. It's really normal to get a case of the nerves right before surgery as the gravity of the journey you are about to embark upon really hits you. 

The fact that you wanted to cheat, but didn't is a good thing. It shows that you were really committed to taking care of yourself. Continue that as you continue this new chapter in your life. The key now is do everything that your Dr is telling you to do. Make sure to get plenty of hydration, protein and your supplements. Soooo... sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk to be sure that you take care of yourself. 

Best wishes and good luck!

Sorry all,

I slept in and didn't get a chance to do this before work. 

I just did a HUGE mistake.  I just drank an Ensure and my tummy is so upset!!!  Don't think I will be doing that again. I think it's the high sugar level.

Today is work, then chores me thinks.

Topic: Oh too early Tues. Roll Call
Hi all,

I think my hardest two days are Tuesdays and Fridays.  Coming off a short Monday to an early Tuesday awake, then a late Thursday to an early awake Friday.

Anyway, today is work. After work, not sure.

Topic: Monday Roll Call
Hi all

Why do we put so much value to our feelings.  We are so hard on ourselves sometimes. A lot of the times lol.  No don't answer.  Just the thought of the day.

Two support groups today.  One this morning and one tonight.  I will enjoy my sweetie today.  He is off only one day until Saturday.  He has surgery next week so we will be out the whole week. I will enjoy him being home.

That's all I have to say.  Good day all.

I am sorry that you will not be able to attend the conference.  Yes, gas prices are horrible these days.

Stay busy and don't let your thoughts overwhelm you.

Have a good day!

One day/pound at a time!

Topic: Sunday Roll Call
Hey all,

Got some disappointing news. Looks like I won't make it to a conference I was planning to go to this week.  It is just too expensive gaswise.  So, I don't know what to do.  I have to cancel the hotel by Tuesday so I guess I have a little time to think of alternative solutions.

Sometimes I wake up and I get so overwhelmed by all the crap going on.  Maybe it is a good idea we don't have cable.  More crap on the tube as well huh?

Today hubby works and I will be alone with my thoughts.  Maybe I will take in a movie today.  They have some good ones out now. 

Have a nice day all.

Topic: Getting nervous

My surgery is tomorrow (3/5/12). I'm wasn't nervous until now, but it's finally hitting me.
I've been on the liquid diet for two weeks and I'm pretty cranky. I've lost 13 lbs so far just with the liquid diet.  I wanted to cheat so badly,but I didn't. It was really hard watching the kids and my husband eat food and all I could have was my soup, but I'm proud that I didn't cheat. I can't wait until this is over and I can watch the weight fall off.

Rain is a good thing, our water table is still low.   Nature knows what she is doing, I just wish the winds and tornadoes weren't bad.

Have a safe and pleasant Saturday.
