Thursday Roll Call

Hello everyone
it has been ages since I last posted
I've been very busy
I've lost 156lbs since Feb 6 2008
I'm getting ready to schedule my 1 year post op visit
I've been full of energy and just feeling fantastic
another 13lbs and I'll be under 200 which is a huge deal
I weigh less now than I did as a teenager
I'm very much looking forward to spring so I can use my new jogging stroller more and get out and exercise more

Dana,

Congrats on the great job and good to see your post!  Wish you much continued successing ahead!

Hugs, Laureen

Morning all.........the blues must be going around. I have been fighting it all week.

I am work till 5 today. I did make the SF Bread Pudding last night tobring in today. I made a batch for us at home too and it is pretty good. And was pretty easy too, so it will be something I will make again. Other than the lunch here at work today, nothing else exciting.

then home tonight......and hopefully just playing blocks or coloring with my daughter. boys won't be with me tonight so it will be a quiet house.

Maybe I will get to bed early for once........ha ha ha.

Have a great day!

Good morning!

I was up and out of bed early this morning (lots of energy!!), which has given me time to get some things done before I go into work.  I am going to start making appointments with PS for consults on my arms and boobs.  The weight I still have to lose is 95% in my ass, hips and thighs so I am hoping I might be able to get them done by the end of March.  I might be getting my hopes up for nothing. 

Today is my "late" day at work...i go in 10:30 to 6:30...and then it's off to karate for sparring.  I guess if I am going to get my boobs done, I better learn quick how to defend them!!

Have a great day!

 Good Morning Laureen,
I am exhausted...need my B12 shot and about 13 hours sleep.  Today has me at work, and then I have my after school club.  After that it is to the doc's to get the shot.  After that, I hope to get my butt to a meeting.

Have a good day.  Stay warm.

Hugs,
Trish

Good freezing morning, everyone.

For those of you who get B-12 shots, how soon do you feel the effects?  I gave myself my B-12 shot last night, and I swear I feel better already, but now I'm thinking could it really work that quickly???

I got a very happy surprise last night -- I went over to my parents' house to set up their new TV and fix a computer problem and my parents gave me a Tiffany's heart bracelet to commemorate my losing 100 lbs!  I was quite surprised, and of course I got all teary-eyed when I read the card and then saw what they gave me.  I have wanted one of these bracelets for a while and now it's nice to have it as a tangible reminder of my accomplishments thus far.

Today I'm at work and then this afternoon I have to go get a CAT scan of my sinuses.  I have had the sinus infection from hell for over a month now, so the ENT doc wants to get the CAT scan done so he can see if it's clearing up.  I am hoping for good news.

I hope everyone has a great day of continued successing!
Lesley

Lesley,

What an awesome gift your parents gave you and something you can have always as a reminder, a token of their love and support!

Congrats and hope your CAT scan report is a good one!

Hugs, Laureen

Thanks Laureen!

Lesley that is so awesome of your parents to do that ..what a great reminder. I can imagine the over whelming emotion...Congrats and good luck with the CAT Scan I seem to be a frequet flyer on teh CAT Scans this month.

Thanks Beth!  I am not so much a fan of the CAT scans, but I will say that they're much better than the MRI's.  And you're right -- there is a lot of emotion with my bracelet.  This morning I keep looking at it and either tearing up (I am such a sap sometimes) or feeling all "Yay, me!" and hearing the Rocky music in the soundtrack of my head.  Sometimes both at the same time!  Crazy.
