Happy Thursday everyone....what's new today?
Good morning everyone....
I slept much better last night and my sinuses feel better too. Gosh....am I actually getting over that enormous hill!!!!
Not much of anything planned for me today. Yesterday afternoon I went into the beauty shop here and got some blonder highlights put in my hair. It just needed a lift. I have been blond all my life. It has been coming in darker over the last few years. All my lighter blond was cut off. It isn't as light as it was, but I really like it a lot better!! I have three shades now, my natural darker blond and two lighter shades. Each is just a step up from the other.
Time to pop in the shower and get ready to go to lunch. I will check in again later. I hope all is well with Butch and Vickie. She never did post yesterday. Prayers continue for them. 
Wishing you all a really happy day!!!!
Prayers for our special OFF Family....I love you all!!
Lots of love and oodles of hugs....connie d

Weird!!!!!!!!! I picked out all different colors so its a pretty rainbow of colors here now!!! But I am sure they will find something to ***** about!!!!!!!!
My son is supposed to come tomorrow on the motorcycle...guess what...rain/storms are to hit!!!!!!!! ****!!!!!!!!! I sent him the weather report and he is not happy...told him I would send him newest update later tonight if its changed any. So far its at 70%. NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!! They are supposed to be meeting up with some others that own VICTORY motorcycles I guess. Plus we have our Car Show Saturday here...damit!!!!! Hope its not rained out!!! We were looking forward to that all summer!!!!!!!

Connie glad you got some highlights done to like your hair again!!!! 
Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hi Judy....the flowers sound wonderful...so pretty with all the colors!!! You are right....someone will have something negative to say!!!
I sure hope your son can make it tomorrow even if it can't be on the bike....I know how much you have been looking forward to his visit. I hope you get to the car show too!
Why don't you leave a note on that person's door and have them come to the office when they get home. If not than tell them to call you! It beats running over there all the time.
I do really love the highlights....I didn't like my mousy hair color....the cut is really cute.
My depression isn't any better....may have to call my therapist.
Have a good day....."love you"...HUGS...connie d
Hi Connie and Judy and my OFF family to come:
It's 90 and humid, and I was out in that weather ... I'm fried.
I had a busy day yesterday and a busy morning today. Yesterday, I had to take Richard to his new doctor. The doctor was all business, humorless and no bedside manner. But Richard liked him ... I was in the room for awhile, then the doc wanted Richard in a gown for a thorough exam so I left. Richard said the doc got his records from the hospital and they were pretty scary ... he told him he was basically nearly dead when he was at the hospital.
So after the doctor, we had to get his prescriptions. Well, that took forever. We had to sit and wait. Then we went to dinner. At dinner, I had a beer and after a couple sips, I noticed the glass was broken at the top ... I nearly cut my lip. So we called the waitress back and she brought me a new beer. When she brought the bill, we thought they would just comp the beer ... but they comp'ed my whole meal.
From there, we went to Sam's, and then home ... but it was nearly 9 p.m. by the time I got home and got my stuff in the door.
This morning I wound up getting up at 5:30 a.m. I saw Richard was up ... he had gotten his meds and slept well and boy, he was a different guy this morning. He was like he used to be. So I picked him up, took him to the clinic for his labwork, then we went to the farmers market, then we went out to breakfast. Then I dropped him at Walmart while I went to Staples and Petsmart. I was pooped by the time that was done ... got home and got an icepack on my neck to cool off.
Glad you feel better, Connie.
Judy, I forgot what you wrote ... sorry. I knew you wrote something about going out to walk Bandit.
Well, I need to take a nap. Got up way too early this morning and I have to work tonight. Have a good day everyone.
Hi Eileen....you sure got a lot done these last few days. I would be sitting with ice packs all over my body!!!! Hope you cool down and feel good enough to work tonight.
That was great that your meal was comp"ed !!! That is what they should have done. Good for you!!!!!
I am so happy to hear that Richard is more like himself again!! He sounded like he was pretty bad off when he went into the hospital. Praise God for answered prayers!!
I am so glad that my sinus crud is getting better. Now if my pain wasn't so bad I would be doing good. All these storms and weather changes are killing me. My Fibro and Arthritis is horrible. I am sure yours is too!
"Love you"my dear friend....HUGS....connie d
Hello Everyone...
Am pleased to report down 1.5 lbs since yesterday morning.....yes, for the first two weeks will try to weigh myself everyday, weight loss on any diet is good first week as usually jus****erloss, but very encouraging.
Had plain unsweetened Greek yogurt with some granola and bran, and a peach plus 2 coffees for breakfast. Planning on thinly sliced Prosciutto ham and quarter Cantaloup for lunch, and tonight will oven roast in foil with herbs and a little olive oil a salmon filet, with boiled fresh asparagus and a small cucumber and tomato salad. Each meal is about a cup and a half in volume. The salmon will provide me with cooked leftovers to use in leafy green salads the next couple of days.
So far so good, hope can stick this healthy eating for more than 2 weeks, usually my quitting stage...today is only day 3 and of course I'm pumped. Going to be difficult next week as will be iut with friends for several meals, will stick to steak, but there will be wine, and wine stops weightloss flat.
Everyone have a great day....
jennifer
Hi Jennifer......good for you....more weight lost....wooohooo!! Keep doing what you are doing and stay positive!!! You are having great meals!!
Try to sip the wine and have more water. I always alternated the drinks. More water then wine. I know you can do it!!!
Have a great rest of the day!!
Love you....HUGS.....connie d
Connie: cutting wine with water is no help when dieting, alcohol stops weightloss completely. Hope I will just maintain, am finding it easier to diet as small amounts (1 and 1/2 cups) fill me up more than prior to WLS when I was ravenous all the time....
.I get hungry this far out from my surgery, but not anything like those dieting days pre gastric bypass when my stomach ached I was so hungry. Less grelin makes us theoretically better equipped to eat less now and feel satusfied. My problem is I still love food. Just can't eat as much now and that's a good thing. Unfortunately, wine does go down as easily as before! So do carbs, and so does cheese....those are high calorie foods I've been indulging in too much.
jennifer
Hey Jennifer...silly...I know you can't cut wine with water and lose weight. I just meant that if you drink more water you maybe won't drink more then one glass of wine. It would be better for you then having more wine.
Oh....I love cheese too...all different kinds... and then where the carbs come in with the crackers and such!! A vicious cycle!! I love food too!!!
Hang in there...you can do it!
HUGS and love....connie d
