Good Morning. So, I was thinking...
...should I take a copy of my labs script over to the lab and give them a chance to enter it in the system before I show up at 7AM Saturday morning?
Well, that's not all I was thinking abut this morning but the most pressing that I'm not too sure about.
DH and I are getting ready to go on a cruise in 2 weeks and I'm looking forward to that. This will be our first cruise and I'm a little leery about all the passport stuff and what to expect. I'm taking my protein powder and plan on having a standing order to get a pot of coffee and a quart of milk delivered to my room every day at 5AM... Wondering if I could get 1/2 & 1/2 instead of milk.
What's on your mind this morning?

I haven't been on a cruise in years but we have one paid for, thanks DH only I need to get my passport renewed and haven't tackled that yet. The only other one we did, you didn't need passports.
My thoughts for the last few days have been my weight loss. I only lost 4 lbs in Jan. I spent most of the time between 151 and 154 bouncing around. I'm still in my 5th month. Maybe this is normal slow down. I have started going low carb to see if I can get moving again. I'm sure I'm not done but I am tired of this. As the same time, low carb seems like a diet and I did this to not have to diet. I was happily eating on my plan but sometimes my carbs were up around 40-50, calories in the 700s. Seems like I should lose on that. Oh well, as Roz says on M and M, figure out what your body needs. So I'm trying.

For some reason my 5th month was pretty slow, too. I lost about 4 lbs. Then the 6th month I lost about 9 lbs. Go figure. That was my best lost since the 2nd month. I keep my carbs under 50. They have been hitting right at 50 and my calories about 1000 so I think you will do fine.

Thanks so much. I really have felt a little defeated about the lack of losing. Actually, I lost more, it was just the same pounds 3 times, 
.
Gives me hope that I will get moving at a more rapid rate again soon. Everytime I seem to get rolling again, I have to start all over.

You may regret asking me whats on my mind today lol Lets see.................
I HATE winter!!!!!
This weight maintenance thing is tough. Im still continuing to loose weight even though I have added calories and cut back on my exercise. (NEVER thought I would ever have this problem!!!)
We're looking into buying a new home...... kinda stressed over that.
I HATE winter!!!!!!
Im still dealing with the head issues of WLS. People keep saying it takes a while for your head to catch up with your body. Im beginning to think Im in a psycholgical stall. I think it maybe time to make a call to my surgeon to see if they could recommend a therapist.
I HATE winter!!!!!
And now that I read your post Gina, I can add one more. Im jealous you are going on a cruise and Im stuck in this frozen tundra. Did I mention I hate winter?! :)
Keep warm & stay safe! Cindy

Surgery March 2, 2010 - 5' 9" - HW 278 / SW 260 / CW 139 / GW 150
DH and I have talked about going on a cruise, but haven't done it yet. I want to hear all about your experiences.
On my mind...
I have decided to donate my work clothes that don't fit to "Dress for Success." Now I have to find the time to get those clothes out of my house and to the right people.
We fired a guy this week. It was a tough experience. As a career HR person, I've participated in firings and discipline more times than I care to count, but this one was hard for me. I keep rethinking the whole thing. Why is this one different? Maybe it is my attitude toward work. No luck finding a new job, but keeping up the search.
DH was supposed to be in Amarillo this week, but the weather kept him home. I'm happy to have him around.
Hoping to go to the Stock Show and Rodeo with my daughter-in-law tomorrow. Toby Keith is performing. I'll know this afternoon if I scored tickets.

Morning everyone.
Gina, last time I got my labs here, they asked me to bring my order over ahead of time so they could have it ready when I came to get my blood drawn. They had to look up some codes and ours is just a one person office. She said that would be very helpful.
A cruise sounds like fun. I can't see DH ever agreeing to go on one though. I've never been on one. Hope you have fun.
My mind is on work and getting caught up some. I need to be working on the budget for the board meeting laster this month. I finally finished filing my W2's and 1099's yesterday and got a lot of things done for the board meeting. We have a training tonight from 6-8 so it will be a long day today.
Hope everyone has a great day.

14.5 lost pre-surgery 5'1 1/2"
I don't think the labs here would let me do that... I know it probably takes a LONG time to enter all yours in the computer...
I'm trying to find boxes to start packing stuff up to move. That's somewhat of a challenge...
I LOVE cruises! BF and I were talking about going on one. He wants to take a vacation in Mar/Apr, but it seems emergency finance issues get in the way (his kids medical, etc). And I just had surgery which I'm still paying for. Why does life get in the way of fun?
Still recuperating. I vacuumed yesterday and could feel the swelling in my right breast because of it.
The scale said I'm back under 130 - YAHOO!!!
Cindy - I HATE WINTER TOO!! The forecast says "snow" but when you look at the hourly forecast its all sun (huh)??? I'll take the sun anytime! We rarely see it in the winter as it is. Still real cold though.
Ok - shower time. Need to go pick up some boxes. I wonder if I can get DS to go with me... maybe if I offer to pay for lunch or something...

Enjoy your cruise, Gina, that's one thing I will never do as dh hates water. He's not a "cruiser" so I just don't even go there. I dream of them but I know deep down, we won't go on them.
Why not call and ask if they would like a copy ahead of time?
Not much on my mind, just spent all night "fighting kitties"....they wanted to sleep on top of me or next to me and I needed space. We weren't very compatible last night. So I didn't sleep well.
