I am sore all over! I had farm work at school today (yes, even over the summer months) and i was in the pen with the sheep, and the one male is a but-faced-miscreant! He rammed me with his head, into the gate then jumped up on me and scratched my back! sadness. Before that i had a breakfast with my family. We went to this little Salvadorian restaurant by our house. Now, my whole family is to some degree fit, and in their normal bmi's except for me. I'm the fat sheep in the family. Well, myself and an older cousin. Everyone else is a full fat eater and maintains their shape rather well. Sucks for us! Anyways, while Salvi food is delicious, its also super heavy on the fat and greasy. I tried to stick to plantains and beans, but the tortillas were hand made and fluffy and yummy! i admit that i had two. It was making me wonder how everyone else deals with eating out? With friends, it seams like they understand more, and don't criticize your choices, yet when i'm out with my family, they all nit-pick about what i order, telling me what i should eat, while they don't exactly set a positive example. (*sigh*) Its hard to make good choices when everyone else is making bad ones. While i'm not banded yet, i'm trying to lose 10% of my body weight, about 27 lbs I read a long time ago that doing so would help me bounce back faster after a surgery or injury! I hope it helps, but either way it can't hurt! One good and easy way of doing this is by training and chasing the new puppy i got for my grandma (she lives with us and was so lonley, so its been a great thing for her!) We've been trying to learn how to play ball, so not only do i throw the ball, i run for it bring it back to the starting position, then praise the puppy for doing a good job! All of my other dogs get into the game, so if i'm not chasing the ball, i'm chasing them to get the ball back! ha! Its all fun and with summer starting i'm going to start jogging again at the beach! I better take advantage of the mellow weather and get conditioned before full summer hits!

So yesterday was a rather tough day for me. I had a doctor appointment at 2:15, but the office kept getting pushed back. a local freeway had been shut down, so everything was backed up. I wouldn't have minded waiting, but i was fasting so that could do the ultra sound of my heart, lungs and liver. Needless to say, it sucked. I was finally seen at 4:30 for a test that took no more than 20 mins. So Fasting since the night before until about 6pm the next day. no food, no liquids. The test was rather interesting. What cracked me up was that all of these women would go into the office, and come back out slightly askew. And the Dr. doing the test was just acting like business as normal. Idk Thought it was funny. When it was my turn, i had to show my goods in a professional sense. FYI: paper gowns are not my friends. Test went great. Result were good! Not 5 mins after test, i was at Starbucks ordering an ice coffee and a banana! Never tasted anything so good in my life! The paper work will be sent to my insurance for approval next month after all of the paper work is complete. Please pray that it goes through quickly!

This is a bit late, but the Aveno brand has an oat based lotion that works soooo well! I cools and clears up the rash in no time! Hope this helps.

Watch your sodium intake! My doc told me this was a huge thing with me so use substitutes! like plain air popped popcorn with lemon juice and garlic powder or chili powder blend a banana or fruit with your shake or into your mocha Protein shake. try to make your own Soups at home you can freeze them in portions then microwave them when you're ready. The canned Soup tends to taste bad, and they have a lot of chemicals in them. allrecipes.com has a ton of yummy and easy recipes you can specify what you want! Iced tea is also very yummy Target and walmart carry a sugar free peach tea that is Delicious! Its a nice break from water! Hope this helps!

One of my friends limits herself to a shot glass full of whatever, That way she doesn't over drink, or drink to many empty calories Its an easy way to keep your drink portions under control! Hope this helps.

you all look amazing! What hotties!
