Manic Monday Roll Call

Thanks Julia.  My daughter will be taking pictures and we will be documenting it, as well as letting the PA at the surgeons office look at it on Monday.  Deliah's attitude is somewhat improved, she just looks like a spotted leopard.

For plastics, make sure you have documentation with your General doctor and your Gynecologist - that is how I got approved - I complained to both of them after the first 50 pounds came off.  It worked for me - don't know what else worked - but it did.

Morning all.. slept weird last night.. interrupted.. up a few times.  I think I just have too much on my mind.  Bron, Tanya, work, stuff in general..

Today has me working and sitting by the phone waiting for Tanya's mom or husband to give me an update on her.  I will post separate about her so I can keep you all up to date on her.

After work, Siehara wants to go to the Halloween stores and start looking at costumes.  I also need to contact the bowling alley to start planning her birthday party.. good thing since her birthday is in about 2 weeks.. oye.. 12.  oye..

Tonight, we will head to the gym where I will partake in spin class.

Nothing else planned, except the homework dance.

Have a great Monday everyone.

Good Morning All

I am running dreadfully late this morning. Just couldn't get myself out of bed - too snuggly! I had a great day with friends yesterday. Today has me at wor****il 4 then to my Mom's to get Amelia. We'll probably head straight home tonight, I have to get some laundry and cooking done for the week ahead.

Have a good day all

Tanya will be in my thoughts and prayers

GM, all!!

My day has started differently than I anticipated.  Paul went to bed with a headache and woke up with one again.  (Yeah---I'm not the headache, folks!!!  lol)  Thought I'd get to sleep in, but I needed to get up for his meds and ice pack.  I'm also going to take Anson to school this morning.  We're supposed to head to the beach this morning, and I'd like to stop at one of our favorite discount grocery stores on the way.

I think my head may be starting to catch up with my body.  When I was getting in the shower this morning, I caught of glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I realized how much smaller I am now.  I've looked at photos taken during this journey, and I know what size I wear now, but I've seen the old body whenever I've looked in the mirror or down at myself.  I know my thinking won't change overnight, but I was happy to have that moment this morning.

Have a great day, all!!!  Peace and strength to those dealing with issues today!!!

Good morning everyone,

This day off is going to be busy!  10AM dentist appt. for a cleaning, 1PM appt. with surgeon for my 6 wk check-up, 5PM Zumba class.  And then watch the Phillies beat the Braves tonight!!

I am anxious to talk with my Dr., since I have been having food get stuck almost once a day this past week.  Lots of foam and slime coming up, feels awful.  Not sure if something is wrong or I'm just not eating slow enough.  Seems that after 6 weeks I should be able to get off the mushy food, but I am having no luck with anything new I try.

Open House at the store was slow but very nice.  Have a regular stream of customers coming in almost every day, hope it keeps up!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Peace,
Deb 

Good Morning Trish and all of PA - Trish I amso proud of your sobriety - we often joke in school about how our students are going to make us start drinking....I am glad that you have it under control now!
 
I am at school, ready to face these lovely children after a weekend of atoning, hanging with family, and running like I usually do.  I am soooo sad that I did NOT make it to a friends yesterday in the Lehigh Valley area - seems like a TON of fun was had by all.  I was too busy with my kids and their millions of activities to get out there.  UGH!!!! There is always this weekend right?!?!

After school I AM going to get  my nails done and then head home for dinner.  Larry will be taking Emily to her dance class so I can hang at home for a bit before I have to take Molly to HER dance class.  Larry is working tonight for a change......But...that means I can watch the Phillies all by myself when I get home from Molly's dance class.  YAY!

Have a GREAT monday all! :)

Steffi,
Whenever I was drinking, relapsing, I did not blame the kids for it as much as downtown, and all that administrative stuff...that made me crazier than the kids did...if you know what I mean.

Hugs,

Trish

Yup...I totally get the downtown thing!  OY!  Glad you are doing so well though! :)

Weekend rundown...

Best friend went to California without me. I was supposed to go but couldn't come up with the $ as quickly as she wanted to go. So, I have been majorly bummin' since she left. Today she returns and I get to hear about all the fun I missed.

Friday night we went to a high school football game and watched Sierra and Kelsey cheer for the team. It was super cute to see them cheering together.
Saturday was a combo birthday party for 2 family members and we did a "quick" homecoming dress shopping trip. Sierra got asked to the homecoming dance. I'm SOOOO excited, she's just like "no biggee". TOTAL BIGGEE!!!

Well, they didn't have the dress she loved in her size, so on Sunday we took a 2 hour jaunt up to Buffalo NY to pick up the right size. We got there and THAT one didn't fit either. So we tried on about 30 more dresses and she found one she LOVED just as much. Now for the jewelry and perfect shoes. This is all loads of fun, but, also the reason I don't have money to go to California with a 2 week notice.

Starting today I'm on super hyper pay attention mode regarding what I eat. I'm setting timers to be sure I'm not drinking too soon after I eat and that I'm not eating closer than 3 hours apart. I'm also avoiding all carbs that aren't dairy or fruit. I'll probably also avoid fruit tho-.

I totally fell into head hunger eating last week and I need to be more vigilant and not fall into that trap again already. That's my goal for this week! Hoping to see results on the scales.

Have a great Monday!
