TracyK

Good afternoon violets (or morning, depending on where you are) I have already walked a mile this morning (go me) and have cleaned the house so now it is computer time Judy-I am gonna be one of the nutcases out the day after Thanksgiving doing my Christmas shopping. Never done it before and am kinda looking forward to it in some insane way. :w00t: TracyinKS-how does Robby like wrestling? Laura-was your dh sick very long? I am glad you did not get it!! Pamela-((((hugs)))) Jane & Suzie-hope you two have a good time today & be safe. Michelle-sounds like your ds and his friends had a blast. Oh, to be young and carefree.... Haydee-how are things going? I hope you are feeling better! Terry-What are you up to this fine day? If you hear of anyone selling a good used SUV or van, let me know. We are gonna get one and are shopping around :w00t: Just having to be extra careful not to get a water damaged IKE vehicle! Jennifer- :laugh: hi there sista! Denise-once again....what a CUTE pic! I had some antlers like that on macy in a few of her pics. TOO CUTE! Kat-what have you been doing to keep yourself busy. You and Michelle are probably the 2 busiest people I know! To any violet I may have missed :laugh: Have a great day everyone!! Make healthy choices. By the way, 2.5 of water weight has come off, so I am happy again:biggrin: 1.5 more to go to get back to 206. That is more like it.

Checking in right quick... gonna go for a walk with macy then we are coming back for a quick afternoon nap :smile2:

Jenn-so good to hear from you! So we are in the same boat weight wise, huh? sucks! How are you going to decorate your kitchen?

Pamela-so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. You and your family are in my prayers. I am so glad that you have Susanne there to suport you in this difficult time. Hugs and prayers to you! Denise-sorry about your situation. At least the babies have a loving caing grandma! Violets-have a good day and be careful in whatever you do. Make healthy choices. Since I have climbed out of the enchilada gravy I plan to start this journey over again....again. :smile2:

omg pammy I am SO sorry :drool:

:w00t: as a matter of fact... :tt1:

Have fun michelle! I am so disgusted. How the heck can I weigh 209? Can someone please explain to me how after as sick as I have been I gained 3 pounds? I think if I am going to gain weight I may as well dive face first into some enchiladas today! you all make good choices...I probably won't practice what I preach today. If I am gonna gain I wanna give it a reason to gain...you know, do it the FUN way! UGH...WTFever!

Hi again...just woke up. I have had a glass of gatorade next to me since the beginning. My temp never went over 101 thank goodness. When I felt nauseus in the very beiginning I tried Emetrol but nope...so I knew I was in for it! I will go to the band dr sometime within the next month. I would go sooner if I thought they would let me in on my good looks but since they won't, I can't. I had a little oatmeal this morning and it went fine. I will call my dr and tell them what happened. Good news...no appeals!! Our lawyer said the checks will be mailed now thru the 8th of December which is the deadline. Sooo, we are gonna be some mailbox checkin' fools!

Good morning everyone- I am out of bed but am so woozy and I have a headache and am weak. But at least there is no nausea. It wasn't band related. On Tuesday all day dh had it but his wasn't the vomit kind, his was the other end :thumbup: then Tuesday night at about 9PM I started feeling like I was gonna throw up and BAM..(not pam, lol) it started and I threw up at least once an hour. It was really horrible. Terry, it was suppositories I asked for too because I would not have been able to hold down a pill. I have stayed away from macy and am praying she doesn't get it. I do not know what I would have done without Frank. Talk about a Godsend! Mom said f Frank would have been working she would have come and gotten her. Thank you all so much for the texts and Jane for the call and the kind words on here. As far as the lawsuit, we are going to call today and see what we can find out. Hopefully no news is good news. TracyinKS-I am so happy that things are turning around for you! Laura-looks like excima (sp) to me too. Macy had it and I used aquaphor cream on it and it healed right up. Michelle-I am so sorry to hear about your friend. That is so sad :frown: ((hugs)) Judy & Jane-thanks for passing along my messages for me! I really appreciate it! Kat-it is a money thing about not going to the band dr yet. I really do not think the band is damaged. I will baby it the next couple of days with mushies and then see how solids go. Luckily I only have 1.5 in there. I am going to make an appt as soon as I can just to make really sure it is OK. Pamela-I am so proud of you for working so hard on your diss. You are goinna have one heck of a party when your done right?! Haydee-hope you are doing good. :eek: hiYa suzie, denise and the other violet that I know I forgot and am too weak to get up and look at my picture, please forgive me. wow...I am so sleepy again. maybe I should sleep little more? I don't know if I should or not. Have a great day today and make healthy choices!

My doc called me in some phenegren. I called them because there was now way I could drive there. Must have gotten sick about 15 times. Every time I would even just sit up I would throw up. I have not done that since about 2:30 so that is good news. Still nauseated. I have not felt this bad in years. I can't go to the band dr right now. I do not think anything is wrong with it. I can drink now with no problems (so far). I gotta go get in bed. I sure hope macy doesn't get this!

Teachers...question... Since macy has lunch at 10:30 in the morning, the class has an afternoon snack. Well, macy misbehaved yesterday and was not given snack as punishment. I asked the teacher if that really happened and she said yes "when they are on pink, they lose a priviledge". Is snack really considered a priviledge? That doesn't seem right to me.

Hi ya'll

I am glad we are not on that number anymore too! Macy just spilled a plate load of spaghetti on the LR floor and dh just reshampoo'd the carpet that I had done over the weekend. He must have seen my face when it happened and he jumped on it. God he is SO good to me! The carpet still has this pretty orange tint to it though. lol kids!! Have a great evening violets! By the way, we did not hear about any appeals...is no news good news? I just want some news period !

whew...went and threw a tantrum in my blog and now I feel much better, lol Haydee-I heard the concert was great! You lucky thing you! Pamela-sounds like you must be feeling better. I am so glad. Judy-thanks for relating with me on the scales. Sucks, huh?! We will overcome it one day! Hopefully sooner than later. Michelle-sounds like a good time you had! Terry-I'll bet you are busy @ work as far as christmas party planning goes too huh? Where are ya'll having it this year? Laura-any plans to go to Tunica any time soon? I am living vicariously through you. How is the no smoking? Jenn-where are you?? TracyinKS-we sure miss you when you do not post over the weekend! Suzie & Jane-wish I could meet up with you 2 this weekend! Kat-I lol when I read about you saying you wondered how your family would feel about a low carb thanksgiving. LOL They would probably feel the same way mine would feel...NO WAY JOSE!! Hope you all have a great day...make healthy choices...even though sometimes it doesn't seem to do any good, at least you will know you are doing your part...right?! lol

If you don't wanna read the tantrum, just stop here.... DAMN DAMN DAMN.... :dita: I am SO tired of this. I am so sick of weighing the same thing that I could throw up :puke: I have worked and worked and worked. This it the part that makes me the sickest...I am going to have to work this hard just to maintain?! Are you fuc*ing kidding me? For real? Whatever! :ugh: :yikes: I enjoy one day of eating what most people would think is a little to a normal amount of 'normal' food and I gain 4 pounds?! WTF?? I can go right now and eat ONE (1) beef enchilada, some rice and chips and gain 5 fu*kin' pounds and it takes a week (or longer) to get it off. I am not band bashing. I thank God for the band. If it weren't for the band I could eat a helluvalot more than 1 enchilada. But give me a break already! The realization that this is my life just BITES sometimes and today is one of those days. Some people reading this are probably like...206 isn't bad...what does she have to bitch about? I'll tell you...I was down to 173 at one point. Yes, I quit smoking, yes I am proud of that but COME ON!!! I am proud that I stopped gaining when I did but still....everyone has the right to be pissed every once in a while. :cursing::banghead::willy_nilly::incazzato::prrr::cryin: I am just tired. But you know what? At this point all it does is make my resolve stronger. One fine day I will get on that scale and I will be in onederland again and HALLELUJAH....I live for that day!

not to mention 207 and 208...

no luck :thumbup::wink2::sad::mad::ugh: I am so sick of 206 I could throw up! :w00t:

I think tomorrow is my day....I really think tomorrow I may be under 206. GOD...let me be right please Have a great night ladies! Judy-lol @ Bob...I would have smacked Frank too.

The head hunger is the worst part. The band helps with the physical hunger...without a doubt. Being able to know the difference between real hunger and head hunger is the key. I wish the band made food taste bad...

Jane-about your post the other day....it reminds me. You and Michelles cat have alot in common, huh? lol

Hi everyone-macy is home now and my moms b-day cake I made was a hit. They loved it. Wish they would have brought the whole thing home but they only wanted about half of it Now it is dh responsibility to eat it! I have to pay a hundred bucks to get my hair cut & colored (or highlighted). That is why I normally just try to do it myself...it is so high! For just wash, cut & style it is like 35 or 40. God I wish I could see about a month into the future...

I am just not in the mood to think up a witty title to this blog. lol I have not had my first full cup of coffee and am not feeling that creative at this point. It is 6:20 AM and I have been up since 4:00 AM. Stress is a factor but I will not bore anyone with the details other than to say tomorrow will make us or break us. I will be either VERY happy or VERY disgusted once I hear some news we have been waiting for. Ugh, the waiting is brutal. Then again, we have been waiting for 4 years. So, all day yesterday I cleaned and cleaned to keep my mind busy. I even shampoo'd the carpet! I baked a cake for my moms b-day and she will be here today bringing home my daughter so they can have cake while they are here. I will just taste it to see if the cake from scratch came out OK. I can bake and just taste it. I will not over-do it. It is theraputic. Kind of like getting the feeling of cheating but not really. I am going to make lasagna for them too. Just because I can't have it doesn't mean they can't. It will keep me occupied anyway. Yesterday I made 8 months without smoking. 8 MONTHS!! Unbelievable! :wub: I still think about it alot but not near as much as I used to. I have come too far to start smoking again. I would have to be retarded to do that. HEY...still stuck at 206 but I guess you knew that already. Wow, today is the 16th and I weigh the same as the 1st. UGH...but at least it is not up, right? I have high hopes...I think tomorrow or the next day is when the scale will finally go down. The power of positive thinking will do wonders for me in the next day or 2...weight wise and good news wise:biggrin:
