Well I did not want to run two posts, but since no one got us started, I am doing so. . . Got to run and get ready for work. Will check back as I can later. . .

Wishing everyone the best possible day and peace and strength to get through the less than desirable aspects of life.

I will add to this later. . .

Later. . .

So I've been struggling a bit lately with eating more than I should, stuff I shouldn't, not getting in enough physical activity. . . I reached out to a local support circle friend of mine, who has similar issues and fears of regain, she is a retired school teacher, who diligently goes to the gym daily, so she has maintained her weight pretty good, but like me is struggling with making the right decisions, we've decided that instead of eating those things we know we are not really supposed to be, we will text to try and encourage each other not to do it. . . It seems from the different posts lately that around the 3 year mark, people seem to have lost their way somewhat and that is not where I want to be. My biggest fear is ever being "obese" again and my greatest challenge remains getting to my personal goal weight of 150, which by insurance chart standards is not necessarily the weight I should be, it is one that I would be happy at and my surgeon agreed that was a good and reasonable goal.

So folks, there you have it, I cannot lead, if I don't follow what is the right path to do. . .

Hugs, Laureen

I know how you feel. Sometimes I wait to even do my thread until someone starts the daily thread. I'm off to get ready for a busy day at the salon, unfortunately two of my least favorite clients in one day. AGH....on the other hand, the rest of them are awsome, so that will make up for it.

FINALLY the crazy rollercoaster refinance has funded, so now I can plan my plastics. Looks like January 12th will be the day. I'm looking forward to not wearing Spanx camisoles anymore.  Might miss the added layer of warmth in the winter, though.

Okay, off to get ready for the day. Hope yours is a great one!!!

Susan

Great, now I'm jealous of yet another friend :(  My plastics are not even a blip on a screen, so I just have to get used to my big ol saggy belly. . .  seriously, I am happy for you and hope you will be thrilled with the end result. . .

Good morning Laureen and OFF family to come....Happy Hump day!
Did my eye apt. yesterday so I will be wearing glasses with bifocals I'll still probably work with my "cheaters" for working on the computer.

It's choir rehearsal than Praise Team after that at church tonight so my plans are to run to the gym and work out in the pool for half an hour or maybe I'll just start walking to church and have hubby pick me up after walking and hopefully I can get 3 miles in.

Everyone have a great day! Hugs Debbie

ah yes, candy!
however- he is sleeping in his rental car still and they can't fly unless they get vetted and clearance ( which i am not paying for) and airlines won't fly them when under 45*....one is mine to sell but nobody has money for a bird....

and i just cannot open the door.................

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Guess you'll have to wait till he comes back to the contingent states. 

I couldn't just open the door, either.

Margo,
When my X left I was stuck with 3 gigantic tanks of exotic fish. They were a pain to keep clean.

I asked him several times to take them "or else". He couldn't be bothered. I donated fish, tanks and all the supplies to a nursing home. They were thrilled.

Just a thought.

Many hugs
Annette

Right after work I am headed to see Mr. M. Miss M. will be in school and then attends her first Daisy meeting.

It is not often that I get one-one time with either of them. I'll stay for a whle after she gets home to hear all about her meeting.

Our oldest granddaughter Kari, goes for another doctor appointment on Friday. It is hard to believe that she is going to be a Mom in April. Still too soon to know the sex of the baby. Maybe Friday?

How the heck did I get old enough to have TWO great grand's?

Kisses
Annette
