Good morning :)
Our visit with my grandmother went well last night. They all spoiled the little nugget with Christmas presents. Buying presents for kids is way more fun than adults. Today I'm taking the dogs to the spa ;) I want them to look all spiffy for the holidays. I will run a couple errands while they are there.

Meg I'm sorry that you had a sinus headache. They are the worst. Hope you are feeling better today.
QOTD: I have lost touch with some people in my life. For the most part, I would say that we had evolved in ways that were no longer similar. Also, it took me quite a while to figure out that if your friend is bad mouthing all of their other friends, there is a good chance they are badmouthing you. The friends I have now I absolutely love. We all have weak moments and we support each other. They are positive, funny, witty, and genuine.
I'm sure that your Aunt would love a call just to catch up.
My menus have been thrown together and not planned. I keep good snack foods in the fridge for emergencies. Last night was a hardboiled egg for dinner. I love that you can buy they pre-cooked and peeled.

Good morning gang! I didn't sleep worth a darn last night so finally got up at 3:00 and in to work for 630. I'm sure I will crash later this afternoon.
I suppose I could have went to the gym for an extra long workout but nope, didn't do that!
Tonight we are going out. I won a radio contest and I am one of 15 qualifiers to win a trip to the Dominican. Its the Naughty or Nice Party sponsored by 102.3 Jack FM Everyone gets a prize but wouldn't it be nice to win the grand prize!! I can hope.

D - again not sure, depends on what they have at the restaurant - I will have to scope out the menu today.
Have a great day everyone!!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
The only thing I can think of is that your body is readjusting to its new dimensions. Every time I drop a few pounds, I get a sore tailbone, knees and hips. Then after a few days it goes away. Your skeletal structure will be realigning as you lose. Maybe a few loose pillows to tuck here and there while sleeping to support where you've lost the padding might help.

First time poster (long time lurker in the background 
), and now I really feel like I'm joining the team. It's like I've been sitting offside, waiting to get on the bench. I got the call today, and my surgery has been scheduled for January 15th. I start 2 weeks of optifast on January 1st and I can't think of a better way to start off the New Year! I'm beyond excited and so looking forward to finding the new, healthy me.
Congratulations! Very well said and all true. I never want to go back and hope I can continue to stay on track. I definitely believe keeping the weight off will be much harder than losing it. Good luck!

Wondering if anyone else has/had this interesting development after RNY surgery: After sleeping a few hours I wake up with an ache in both hips - deep inside the bone area. I have to get up, walk around for 1 minute and then it goes away. I go back to sleep, and a couple of hours later - the same thing. Cannot think of any other reason this started to occur, other than surgery. Never had this before.
Ideas?
Thanks, Sunny
