Ok, I need to run the sweeper and than get ready for the hospital. See ya all tonight. Have a great evening.

Working on my 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes. Got the kitchen floor mopped. Hubby just standing there looking at it wondering when he can walk on it. He needs a beer out of the fridge. lol

Lunch time.

Janie, yes the 19th. is still good for me. Hubby and I will be in the walk that morning. I know Tracy is not walking but I'm not sure if she is going to meet up with us yet. I'll try to get her to. I'll let you know.

Home from Wal-Mart. And I still have to go to the grocery store Friday morning. Crap. I've put everything away, cleaned the kitchen, started laundry and am getting ready to mop the kitchen floor. I fixed a bowl of oatmeal and ate almost half of it. I also had about a tablespoon of mixed nuts. At least I stayed away from the bakery. I'm on my 3rd big glass of water too. Janie, I wish I had time to come there and you could cut my hair. It's such a mop right now. But I don't have time to get there and back before I have to work at the hospital tonight.

Jenn, YES you can do it. You are a strong person. Remember that no matter what, you are bigger, stronger and a better person than it. You are a survivor and you have proved that to us so many times. Take that walk, put your music on and free your mind. Remember, we all believe in you and know you can do this.

Good Morning. Up and getting ready for my 2 hour morning shift. After that I have to go to Wal-Mart to do a lot of shopping. It's stock up time. Laura, about 40 years ago when we were living in Calif. we had a mice infestation. My Dad put traps all over. Well one night he came home from work and dinner was not ready and on the table. He questioned my Mom about it. Well, he had put a trap in the oven and sure enough there was a mouse in it but he was only caught by his back leg and was still alive. Mom wasn't going anywhere near that stove till my Dad got rid of it. Everyone have a great day and I miss all of you.

Off to bed. Everyone have a great evening. Tomorrow is a new day and I look forward to seeing all of you here. Hugs to all.

Home from work and getting caught up on some programs I have recorded. I stopped at a fast food place and got Hubby a sandwich and a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. Hubby ate the sandwich and we shared the taters. I'm still trying to eat mine. So far today I have had. 1/4 bowl of oatmeal- breakfast 1/2 cup of beans with meat- Lunch Handful of lifesavers 1/4 cup mashed potaotes and gravy. I know that's not very much but I just got a fill and I'm not pushing it.

Hate Mice. What about MICKEY???????

Sorry about that. I had actually seen your post. I just had to get off my duff and get registered. I finally did that this morning. I was all ready signed up with my Doc, I just had to do the other part.

The walk for Dallas is Sept 26th. Palm Springs is Oct 10th. Birmingham is Sept. 26th. St. Louis is Sept. 19th.

Ok, for anyone interested in sponsoring me in the "Walk from Obesity" walk. Here is the link. You just need to type in my name and than fill in all the info. Kansas City, MO (2009) - Home Thank You in advance.

So let me see if I have this right. All of us Violets and umpteen hundreds of Haydee's and Juan's cousins all wearing the same thing to the wedding? That way no one feels left out. Yup, works for me. However I would really appreciate the "NO" dress thing. I'm not reall partial to them and feel more comfortable in slacks. And I'm up for any color.

Look Ma, no new glasses. I had a slight change in my prescription and the Doc said it was up to me if I wanted to have new glasses made. The ones I have now are 2 years old and my sunglasses I got last year. So I think I'm good for at least another year. My insurance only covers every 2 years anyway. So I'll just wait and have new ones made next time. Hubby's hadn't changed either so that is good news also. Now we are off to go return all of our Dish Network crap back to them. They said they keep sending boxes to us for it but we have never recieved anything. So I had them e-mail me a label to print up. Now we are off to the UPS store to send it all back to El Paso. This morning I made some oatmeal and was only able to get done about a fourth of it. Woo. I hope that eases up a little. I'll see what my water consumption is for the day. Hugs to all.

Jenn, I can't get over how cold it is allready. I'm going to have to go in the garage and get my winter box out and look for some sweatshirts. And the most sad thing is that with this weekend coming up, it will be too cold to go swimming. Labor Day weekend and no swimming??? Yikes.

GOOD Morning Girls. Janie, I will be thinking of you and your parents today and hope that all goes well. So glad you found your phone. I'm working on my new resolve today. It sure is going to be a struggle but I think I'm up to the challenge. Hubby and I will be leaving soon. Today is our annual eye exam. He's not looking forward to it. They will be dialating his eyes and he hates that. I don't get mine done because it turns out that I am allergic to the dye they use. So they just take this thig and tap the side of my eyeball. Hum, why don't they just do that for everyone and save a lot. Oh well. Everyone have a great day and I'll chat at ya later.

FYI,,,, On Sept. 19th I will be walking in the "Walk from Obesity". Just in case you feel like sponsoring someone for the month.

Janie, I sent a text to your phone. Hopefully if someone finds it, they will call you. LOL.

:biggrin: Halloween Candy. :blushing: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Change of subject.... Just got home from the Doc appointment. It was just as I thought it was going to be. I gained 2 pounds. Yup, I said it and I own it. Life goes on. So starting with my new fill. It's a new start and I'm going to ride this. I have 8 weeks to prove to myself that I'm worth all of this and that I am more powerfull that all the negative stuff. Back to walking and watching what I eat. No more shoving. No more DQ. And the worst part is that they have started putting out all the Halloween candy. Lord help me.

Oh how I wish I had read that before I went to bed. I fretted all night long about my Doc appointment today. I just hate dissapointing him. Everyone have a great day and I'll check in later tonight.

I know that Haydee will have her own bridesmaids but I was just wondering if we should all pick out the same dress and go as her unofficial bridesmaids. Think how special that would be to her that we went that extra mile to make it a special day for her. Anyone still have a link to those dresses????

Winding down and getting ready to start a new week. I have a full schedule ahead of me. Busy, busy week.

Home from our little trip down south. We had a blast at the wedding and had a good time with everyone. Made some new friends. Ate way to much and enjoyed it. Doc won't be happy. Oh well. My Doc never lied about anything with the band. He was very upfront in what it coule HELP ME do. That it was a tool for me to use. Apparently right now I don't choose to use it right. I'm always amazed at the people that complain about not losing weight with the band. The band is no more different that using Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher's Gas-By-pass, Rny, or any other program. If you don't use it correctly and follow the rules, you ain't gonna lose. All it ends up being is a waste of your time and everyone else involved. Sometimes I think to myself, why am I not losing? What am I doing wrong? Well, I seem to forget that sometimes it just isn't the quantity of food I eat but also the quality of the food I eat. Can someone actually eat ice cream for their meals and lose? What about the little bites of stuff, The alcoholic drinks? It all adds up. I for one am so glad that I did not have the By-pass. I know 2 people who had it and and have seen the awful struggles they have. Yes they lost the weight and than gained some of it back. But on top of that, they have serious medical problems now. I also believe that my best friend lost her life to it. The health problems that having her intestines shortened caused. I'm not sure God intended for the colon to work that way properly. if He had, He would have shortened it Himself. I will be forever greatful for my Band. Now what I need to work on is getting my head back in the game. I need to quit whinning about it. My band is working, I'm not. As much as I would like to think it is my band, it's actually me. Jane, I think Haydee is meeting with the priest this week. We should know something soon. That is unless I missed something also.
