I know...I know. I was feeling guilty about not hanging around and starting the accountability threads but I figure: "why did I have surgery?" TO GET OUT AND DO STUFF AGAIN..So I'm on my way out the door to get stuff done...

I re-arranged my son's room for him (heheheh, he can't hide what he's doin on the computer now and if he tries to shut the door, we'll take it off the hinges and put it in the garage...Little sneak). and cleaned up some...WASHED three loads of laundry. Now we're headed to breakfast with some friends for a nice visit.

AND tomorrow is another day off...WOO HOO.

AND the day after that is our 18th wedding anniversary. I'm off to spoil the hellouta my hubby..

Hey Dawn,
Came in for a second and saw this post. Wanted to wish you and Happy 18th Anniversary!! I was just getting ready to check your profile to see if you posted anything about  the Hawaiian wedding. It was August right?   Funny about your son, I can only imagine you recently found something on his pc...LOL

Also was checking to see if Dana posted, I sure hope she's left  Louisiana.  All day we got outter bands from the hurricane here and it was mightly windy and very heavy rain even knocked out electric 3 times but came back on pretty fast.

GINNY!
Nice to see you again. Nope. The wedding is in October. My daughter is probably the worst Bridezilla and the reception is shaping up to be a real headache for me. My family reunion was in July and we had a BLAST in Montana.

I was just thinking about you a day or so ago when I changed my avitar picture. I was looking at my profile and saw your avitar in my friends...It's been a while. How is it going? How is your husband doing and how are YOU doing...You were so ill there for a while. And with the hurricane season and all...I figured all of Florida might have blown away before I'd hear from you again.

My son managed to fail last year and this year we're going to be watching alot closer to be SURE he's doing what he's suppose to be doing. He picked up a virus a couple of times but the real issue was that he didn't do near half his work while he was suppose to be "at school."

Congrats on your weight loss!
You had surgery around the same time as me!  I had mine on 6/30/06 and i weigh 129 although I really want to be 120 or less....
Do you have any tips how I can get down to what your near?
How much water are you drinking?
I am not drinkin enough but I have started!
Plus I am constipated!

I was very lucky with my weight loss, I think. You definitely need to drink more water..I'm drinking about a gallon a day.

But other than that..I have no idea what to tell you about getting further down like where I am. I follow alot of the rules (no liquids after I eat; protein first; few if any white carbs)

I actually eat about 1800-2000 calories a day and shoot for well over 100 grams of protein a day. I do try and eat all the veggies that I need too which causes carbs to be higher but my feeling is, they're GOOD carbs.

Hey there!

Thanks for the advice!
Wow a gallon!
Holy cow!
lol
The past few days I've been bloated but my period is coming and I am going to hit the gym again exercise is very important so I am going to call the gym tomorrow to see how I can get my membership active again.  I think I owe a few months so we'll see but def soon although I've been playing basketball again outside which I realize now is so good for your abs and legs!

I am gettin better at cutting down on carbs and drinking more water...
Thanks and keep in touch!

That's something I don't do enough of...Exercise..If I wear a pedometer I generally walk a couple of miles at work during a day (which is amazing cuz I have a desk job) but I don't do anything aerobic at all. You have to keep that in mind when you figure the weight of the muscle you are building. I know a grad who works out with a trainer who is the same size as me but weighs 30 pounds more...Pure muscle.
