Good morning Roz,

Keep me updated on those yogurt flavors. I'm kind of in a peach and strawberry rut. Have a great weekend.

B: Tea, protein bar

L: Turkey and cheese

D: not sure what my guy has on the menu this evening

S: yogurt, pineapple

I think the cherry is my favorite and then peach and pineapple. I just had the Toasted Coconut Vanilla and it is definitely not on the top of my list.  I probably won't buy it again. It's a little sour and a coconut after taste.

Sounds Good!  You have a great weekend too!

Yesterday was HECTIC!

Had meetings all morning at work and then doctor’s appointments all afternoon.

WL surgeon was very pleased with my results, down to 191.2lbs with clothes on. Only 41lbs to go to meet goal.  Happy camper here.

Went grocery shopping (hate it) and half way through I totally ran out of energy and started hurting from the Fibro.  It was all I could do to get home, take a Vicodin, put stuff away, eat some dinner and collapse in bed, so I didn’t make it to the gym. Sam took care of the animals last night, bless him.

Have meetings all day today and then going to Costco tonight after work and then to the movies

Tomorrow we are going to the Western States Horse Expo to see Chris Cox, all the exhibits and the horses.  Supposed to be 105 tomorrow here in Sacramento but we already have our tickets.  Planning on long sleeved gauze shirt, jeans, sunglasses, hat and tons of sunscreen plus all the water I can stuff down my pouch.

Have a great day everyone,

Susan

Have fun at the horse expo.  We don't have any close to me but folks say they are a blast with lots of good information.

It sounds like you had a great visit at the Dr. office...GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!  My goal was to be able to get weighed in long pants and shoes and still be happy with the number.  Even at goal I still can't bring myself to wear my shoes....LOL.

My sister has Fibro and she has some really bad days.  I've heard that it gets better when you lose weight but she has given up trying and her husband won't let her get WLS even though he sees how healthy and happy I am.  He has never had a weight problem and he thinks if she wants it bad enough she can lose weight on her own.  Sometimes I think the pain makes her eat more.

I can't imagine 105 degrees. Enjoy!!!

Good Menu!

I love those yogurts, all flavors, Roz, but they don't stay with me and I am just as hungry after eating them as I was before.  Same thing with any yogurt unfortunately.

I went to water Zumba this morning and rode Poppy when the rain stopped. gotten the trailer loaded because I have a driving fun day tomorrow.  Otherwise, need to get some work done.

decaf protein coffee  33g
eggbeaters, kale, cheese
lemon tea protein  13g, my new fav is strawberry crystal light and lemon tea syntrax
tuna salad
cheese stick, orange
caribean cooler protein  13g
carbquick cinnamon buns
pork steaks, green beans
protein shake  33g

I feel the same way about the yogurts.  I feel full for a few minutes.  I eat them really slow and enjoy every bite and  they have been helping me stay away from the carbs at work but I limit myself to 1 a day.

A fun day would be nice....ENJOY!!!!

I like the variety!

I'm a TGIF gal through and through - yippee.  The only plans I have are catching up with a cousin I've not seen a while.  Her kids must be about 4 and 6 now so that'll be good to see how they are.

Catching up with relatives and friends is the main reason I love facebook.  My dad died when he was 46 (37 years ago) and we lost touch of his family.  We were so close growing up.  I know all of my cousins but I rarely see them because they have moved around the country but I don't know their kids or grandkids so I love looking at all of their pictures and enjoying a few of their memories.  I have one great cousin that I haven't met who works for "America's Got Talent" and I can't even brag about him....LOL.

Sounds Great!!!
