Oh crap this multipost thing did not work.... ah well. Karla; I am so glad to hear that you don`t have too much pain YEAH for that... but bummer about the hernia... although, ummm more time off school??? probably not to sad about that eh? You are in my thoughts and prayers... Yup, once you are home you will rest much better. I was supposed to go quilting at a friends today.. I called to see what time she wanted me... she was still asleep... Sounded like she had a head cold... so I told her NO I was NOT coming... crap I go away in a couple weeks, and I dont`want to be haveing a head cold or sinus to ruin my cruise!! She sounded disappointed , but TOO BAD!! PLus, If I get sick I can`t go in to see my MOM for 2 weeks.... I just gotta look after myself. Phyl; Hey the golf cart looks cool.... is this for you 2 to motor around in your park? I don`t get it? Does Earl Golf? Well on the music front; we are done with John. We are trying out a new Player on SUnday... he plays keyboards and Sax... I hope that this works out.... he is supposed to be a good musician and not a Drama Queen. I have all these gigs lined up and dont`want to cancel any of them.... cross your fingers for ME!!! Weight loss, good!!! Lost 2 more lbs this week, I am now 178.... 3 lbs from when my Daughter got married last Oct.... Once I break 175 I`ll be REALLY on my way... I`ve not been posting my Spark people totals... but I am still tracking daily... Havn`t heard anything from JANET, OR LINDA. I know Janet is having FUN, and I hope that Linda is not working too hard. Love you guys!!!! Candice

Phyl, how are your plans for today ???? Got on the scale this a.m. 179 whoo-hoo... its coming off!!!! Off to the dentist in a few for a cleaning. May have to CUT John from the Jazz Trio... he's been incomunicado for 2 weeks!!! No explanation, nothing... and I've got GIGs booked in DEC...!!! So I am putting out feelers to other musicians.. cross your fingers for me. That I find someone good. Karla, don't be brave... take all your pain meds that they offer. HUGS< HUGS<HUGS:bananalama:

Really fun, lost count of the appetizers, but I DID NOT Eat any of the DESSERTS!! I pulled a Janet, I walked right up to the Cookies, bars, squares and said to them `` I am NOT eating any of you, you are rotten and bitter and I hate you!``` it felt good, now my Dh was kinda looking at me funny..... Stayed up way too late singing Karaoke with the girls, but was fun and so good to see all my old buddies from my Last House Town. Slept in a wee bit today, and then drove home. Food today, 1 Egg, 2 Bacon, coffee, Chicken soup, crackers, 3 chicken nuggets(jerky) and coffee.... cals so far today....817 but I have snacks left... probably Choc pudding with cool whip. Love you all, Janet we``ll miss you hon, Karla, stay calm, surgery will be over be fore you know it now... Hugs ^PHYL, give a kiss to EARL

Sorry, I know its only been 4 days.... but I really don`t like this new format....

Phyl, I loved the pictures of Jacque... she is lucky to have such a good friend like you:D So the boys are out pheasant hunting, how gets to clean them? Would sure make a nice meal though:) Karla, glad you are getting yourself prepped for TUESDAY... you`ll be in good hands.... we`re all praying for you and a speedy recovery. I know the weight lifting restrictions SUCK, but its all for the good of the surgery results... Get your GIRLS to pick up your groceries.,.,. ask for help Karla, I am sure you have some teacher friends who could go with you to shop.... or.... just buy less, more often...

CALORIES/CARBS/FAT/PROTEIN1,091/88/18/89 FOOD FOR TODAY: No brownies for ME after dinner... I said NO twice... god it was hard though she offered them twice then LEFT THEM SITTING ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF ME But I kept looking out the window! Then we played BOGGLE and my mind was taken off of it... home now drinking my TEA before bed...:thumbup:

I bought myself yesterday, a fabulous dozen PEACH (get it?) long stem roses.... they are georgeous!Q!

GIRL, you will NEVER be alone... we are ALL here for you. O.k. a few have dropped off. But the CORE are here for you.. the others are ALWAYS welcome back , here and there, whatever works for them - I love all the girls who started with this thread.... ALL OF THEM... we are sisters of the soul... forever... I would not be where I am, be WHO I am, or be as happy as I am with out all of you.... by ourselves its a lonely voyage... but with COMPANY of you all WE can do ANYTHING!!!!

Oh Karla hun, you are doing GREAT, so Great that you are starting to FEAR being fat again like JANET... and that is a GOOD THING ( as Martha Stewart would say). I am getting there. slowly but surely... I am in re-committment mode now and am working towards the I AM AFRAID OF BEING FAT AGAIN mode... I`ll get there... its a journey we each have to take... in our own time... We can only learn lessons when we are TEACHABLE, perhaps I had to mess around for a year to realize I needed to get Serious!!! This is a LIFE or DEATH disease.... no question about it... I have to KEEP that foremost in my mind... and not let the little challenges wear me down, or demotivate me. Today, I had a LONG coffee break with a GF who is doing BERNSTIEN starvation DIET,,,, for the second time! I broke my silence and told her about my LAP band experience... ``Oh but that sounds so drastic!```(boo-hoo, boo-hoo)... Yup, it was ... but I have NOT regained to my 240ish, HIGH point since banding ... and that is a HUGE acccomplishment... as you know, I`d be up to 260 or 270 lbs by now if »I had NEVER been banded.... So I am a very happy girl!! Oh, and I got another Band Booking today!!! For Feb 14th!!!! Cool, cool, cool.

Didn`t watch criminal minds but Law and Order SVU... may fav.... now watching the DEFENDERS with Jim Belushi... just LOVE that guy. Cals today 896... sparkpeople is offline tonight so I added it up manually. Night, night girls....:blushing:

Hi girls; been a busy day today. 1st fabric store to see if they had any more of my FABRIC that I cut wrong last night:mad: they only had half of what I needed, so I drove to Orillia and found 4 fat quarters of it!!! YEAH, I have a horseshoe up my butt!!!""! Then, Bridget and I stopped in to visit my Mom in Barrie.. nice long visit there. Mom was real tuckered out today... don`t know why? Just got in the door, and got onto the computer, but gotta go fix supper soon. All this TURKEY TALK, you gals have me HUNGRY!!! cbl:drool:

Karla, really? There are some dumb ass folks out there... There is wear and tear on anything mechanical... they did NOT buy a new house... any person with an iota of common sense would see that they DON"T have a case.. Relax... they are just blowing smoke up your ass. AND because they did have a home inspection that takes the responsibility OFF of you. Our last house sale (Strathroy) had the same kind of issues come up. Drains in the kitchen were plugged (so they said), Central Vac, was not working, oh and there was a little knob on the wood stove that was cracked!!! Well, the day I moved OUT of the house, I vacummed that sucker to death... so the vac WAS working! I never, ever in the 12 years that I owned that 30 yr old house had PLUMBINB clogs in the kitchen. O.k. the knob on the wood stove MIGHT have been cracked..... So Peter sent them a check for $45 to cover the cost of a new knob... But our lawyer said we didn't even HAVE To to that... The purchasers had a home inspection too. Oh and those home inspector guys, they carry liability insurance just for BOZO's like your purchasers... So all I am saying is don't worry your pretty head... you didn't do anything wrong. Janet; I am worried about your joints... hand knuckles now involved too? Plus the knees? Have you seen your doctor? It could just be a virus too, but better to get it checked out huh? Since I had my chest/throat virus... I am still not back to normal... coughing up gunk and still having to use my Asthma medication!!! Havn't had to for YEARS!!! WTF??? Phyl; Ummm a nice romantic dinner.. how sweet... his way of appologizing for being a cranky-pants lately... enjoy!!! You can put up with a lot when you know there is a SOFTIE side underneath all the bluster. LINDA! Where are you girl? Have you fallen into the PAPER pile on your DESK???? Have you booked your AIR PLANE yeat???? We love you and MISS you! I wanted to share this page from SparkPeople.com - What Does 300 Calories Really Look Like? http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=1260&SPShared=TRUE
