Good morning violets! I slept good, drug induced, but at least I slept good! I am stiff this morning, so I am having my coffee and an icepack. Part of me wants to get up and get busy and maybe some of the kinks will work out...the other part of me is scared it may make it worse. Has anyone ever seen the capri sun (kids drink in a pouch with a straw included) commercial where there are 2 kids drinking Capri Sun and when they are done they are playing games with the pouch like kicking it around or blowing the pouch full of air and shooting the straw out of it....anyway, at the end of the commercial there is this funny sounding mans voice screaming "respect the pouch, RESPECT IT". Anywho...dh and I went out to eat @ Lubys and I 'listened to my pouch' when I felt full and I stopped and I told dh that I was retraining myself to listen to the pouch then I hollered out "respect the pouch, RESPECT IT"...he almost shot coke out of his nose... Those of you that may have seen that commercial will lol @ that one. OR...maybe I just crack myself up:lol:. Anyway, that is my new slogan... Anyway, have a great day violets! Make healthy choices and...RESPECT IT!! :cool:

OK, so I am not the only inquiry mind that wants to know. :grouphug:

Haydee...l love the new pic too but do you even have any bad pics of yourself? I doubt it! :grouphug:

SO...it is not my imagination....Judy is MIA....I just text messaged her. She can run but she can't hide!

Can't get in to see my chiro til Monday @ 9AM. So, its drugs & ice til then. At least Macy will be @ moms for the weekend and I can just rest after she leaves this afternoon.

Haydee I love so much of it that I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe! That box weighed a ton!! Thank you so much...I love the dresses too!

Judyyyyyy....ohhhh Juuuuudddyyyyyyyy......

YAY JENN!!! I am so happy for you sista! It has been a long road but I knew you would do it! Now you will REALLY bust your butt to get as low under that 2something as you can! GO YOU!!

Good lord Terry.... is better than the one giving you the single digit salute! LOL Truth of the matter is I got sidetracked an thought to myself I will brb to post more and didn't get the chance until now...so, THERE! I loved the pic Terry posted..notice I had an empty cup in front of me and one I was finishing off...no wonder It was a blast though!!! Neck is a little better but my shoulders are still stiff. It will just take a while I guess. Hey...where is Judy? Have a great night everyone!

Hi everyone :thumbs_up:

Oh Terry I am so sorry that he (and you) are going through a difficult time! Laura-so throwing up blood doesn't scare Russ? My dh is one of those 'never go to the dr' type, but *that* is one thing that would have scared him shi*less...he would have ran to the dr!

Nah, I wanted to give it one more day. If I am not better tomorrow I will go. So far so good...tonight will be the test!

Jenn-glad you are feeling better! Haydee-I understand what you mean now...I thought you meant you spoke out about important things...MY BAD... Kat-I lol'd when I read the comment about you strangling him w/ his moms frizzy hair! lmao!

Haydee-why should you NOT be able to say what you are thinking? Keeping it in is worse IMO. Kat-I would go to the hospital just to be a thorn in his side. Laura-keep us posted on Russ.

:thumbup: WAY TO GO JENN!!!

Good morning ladies, The pain is now going into my should and arm (from overworking to protect my neck). I felt better last night when I went to sleep but this morning it is worse than ever. Maybe I should go see my chiro today. Those electrodes would sure feel great right now! Pamela-my dr says ice initially as well. I am using some stuff called biofreeze that my chiro sells and it feels good...he wants me to put ice on top of that but when I do it feels like hypothermia would set in very fast! lol Jenn-if you drive today, please be careful...surgery/driving on ice do not go well together! Terry-gotta love Houston drivers! I feel so bad for your ds! That sux! :thumbup: Kat-(((hugs))) I will keep you and Kinsey in my prayers. I hope she gets better very soon so she can go back to the dr and get that heart checked! Please keep us posted (I know you will) Jane-I am a believer in sometimes people need a small breakdown to get it all out before they can feel better. I hope you feel great today! Michelle-get all your stapling done? Judy-way to go on the no fries & no custard. That is fantastic! I pass the role model torch to you...hopefully I will get it back sooner or later, lol. I did have an enchilada yesterday but the rest of the day I was a very good rule follower so it isn't too bad. I am going to stay away from the scales for a while due to TOM and all that. It has not shown up yet but I just feel bloated so getting on the scales would be a bummer...i can just *feel* it. The water weightloss is gone and now for the real work... TracyinKS, Haydee, Suzie, Laura, Gina, Denise and any oter violet I may have missed, have a great day, keep it real, and make healthy choices!

by the way judy....congrats on you being back in the 17somethings....I am SO happy for you. I know how much it meant to you to see that! :thumbup: Terry-hope your son is OK Pamela-thanks for the text

:thumbup: Here I am... :thumbup: My neck is killing me. I will post more tomorrow ladies. I plan on staying in a soma coma this evening and tonight.....

Laura-I weighed 276 when I found out I was pregnant....all my ultrasound pics are fantastic. She is just being a hateful bitch!

:thumbup:Now that was funny...I can not top that one!:wink_smile:

Judy and I both had balls on the brain this morning! lmao!

Michelle-way to go on the weight loss! Great job!! :thumbup: Pamela-let me get some coffee in me and I will think about your eulogy. I have something stirring in my head about rum balls and you liking balls after all, but I can't put it together to sound funny. lol :wink_smile: I am quick witted in the evening, not in the morning, lol. Judy-you are really tempting me to go buy the stuff to make that soup. It really sounds good! Terry-do you go back to work today? Hope not....this is a stay @ home in bed kind of day! Haydee-glad to hear you had a good time. Can't wait to see pics! Jenn-I am glad you like your coffee cup. I am gonna order me one too! Jane-when do you go for a fill? Kat-jane sent me some MUCH needed hair products and a calender with inspirational sayings on each day and a step counter. She also sent macy some crayons and coloring books which she LOVED! Laura-did anyone ever come get the TV? Suzie-good luck at the dr today. TracyinKS-how are you today? I have been watching your videos too...yes, you are being watched I am so sore and stiff necked this morning and I can hardly move. Must have slept wrong or something. Ugh... YAY, dd is back to school today and I have the house to myself again. DH is on his first of 4 off days too...so I do not REALLY have the house to myself, but it is alot quieter! Have a great day everyone. Make healthy choices.

OR....last but not least "who the hell is gonna make the pumpkin bread now?"

OR.. "if you are gonna miss Michelle, Raise your hand"

Now, back to the reality of it all. Amazing how much a month can change a person. I gained 15 pounds in a month...from 204.5 to 219.5 BUT...have lost back down to 212.5 since 12/27/08. Wow, this is the year I do it. I lose this weight once and for all. Yes, I have done it before but it is different this time....this time I am a nonsmoker and am losing the weight. A double threat woman! I sure did put back some food over the past month! Whew....between cooking and baking I ate ALOT and the scale shows it. But that is the past and this is my now. Fun and games is over. I had said before...I am an all or nothing type of woman. I either go full speed ahead or do not go at all. Well, the role model bandster is back and I sure have missed her. No sodas, rice, bread or pasta. I did it for a year, lost down to 173, took 9 months off (when I quit smoking) and gained 46 pounds...now it is back to business time again. Funny how when I actually made up my mind to start again how easily I jumped back on the wagon and following the rules. AND with enthusiasm. THAT is the key. If you cannot get excited and fired up about what ou are doing, do not even try. And I am fired up....ready....finally. I guess just the realization of "it is what it is"...with "you can't fix what you don't acknowledge" (and all my clothes mysterously shrinking) is just the kick in the pants I needed. I saw 219.5 and thought 'oh hell no'. So, here I go again...THIS time will be more rewarding than the first. WATCH ME GO!
