Monday thouhgts

Good Morning to all my bariatric buddies.  Starting the year of 2010 off with a cold bang up here in MN.  Temps have been in the negative range for a few days now.  Looks like most of the week will be similar.  I am spending as little time outdoors as possible. Yesterday, I moved a few of my power tools into the basement, planning to work on a bench for outside the back door.  Now, I could have made this bench at many opportunities over the summer and did not.  I was feeling the effects of my obesity and had no energy to do this project. Thank goodness for RNY surgery.  I had the energy, wanted to have the project done and just tackled it yesterday.  Finished it late last evening and had my hubby help me haul it upstairs and out to the back step.  Pretty proud that I finished a project.  Up early this morning to tackle another project in the basement, organizing a messy wall.  Worked on it until Dennis arrived home from work, now being a little more quiet to he can sleep.  I was up by 4 am, not sure why, just up.  Headed off to share a nap with Dennis for a bit.  Keep warm everyone.  Looking forward to chat this evening.

kathy
 that is great that yoou feel the energy to not only start projects but to finish them
 just remember that if you build them in the basement that you have to get them outside at some point
naps are good with a loved one
try to stay warm
 it is not much better here in upsate ny
 our temps are in the + but not by much
 happy 2010

congratulations on the bench, that is an accomplishment. i would be happy also that i could build one sturdy enough to hold me in my fat years.  losing weight is surely wonderful. congrats on all you have accomplished. love ya, vick

Congrats Kathy, hopefully you have several finished projects from now on out! i started school in september two weeks after my surgery and am now in the second quarter thinking about satudying some other things to when i am done with theses classes. So i just wanted to wish you luck and many more things to come!

Sorry it is soooo cold up there for you guys! Hoping it warms up[ there for you very soon, at least in the positive temps.
Congrats on the bench! Are you gonna post a pic or two so we can see your creation?
My day is not turning out to be as I had planned at all. Kinda down in the dumps. Did not make the YMCA this am, but planning to go this evening after chat. Wi**** was closer. Oh well.
Have a great day all!
Hugs

Good Afternoon everyone.   Starting the new year off on the cold side here in SW Ohio also but kind of have a heat wave today.  We are all the way up to 26 degrees as I type this.   The cold weather sure isn't agreeing with me this year.   Seems I have to do alot of convincing to get myself outside the door but I made sure I did this morning and went up to curves for my 90 minute workout followed by a massage which was absolutely wonderful.   I have another 30 minute massage scheduled for wednesday tentatively.   I sure needed it let me tell ya.  I knew my back had a lot of spasms and the therapist told me that I had several knots in it.  I plan to get 4-5 days in at curves this week if at all possible, going to be interesting with company coming in on wednesday and spending the night but will do it some how.  Well see ya all tonight in chat.   Hope you have a great day...Hugs...Anna
