Hey ladies, I just wanted to let you all know...drum roll please....surgery 9/16 yippie:lol: ok so I have a conf call for work in 10 min, after I'll give you all the details.

now that I have everyone thinking jamba light today is the last day of the buy one get one free Jamba Juice Buy 1 get 1 Free! enjoy

Tina I know how you feel time goes by so quick and kids grow up so fast....high school is the age when they sorta don't want to be bothered with you but come college time they start coming around. One of my son's went to Kansas last week and the other two will be gone in the next week or so. I miss all the quality time we used to spend together. oh I forgot to mention I stopped at Jamba on the way home they have a jamba light 180 cals made w/ splenda. It's yummy....but I'm probably the only person who didn't know this.

ok back from my walk I think I've really got this down, even like it. I've been walking the carquinez bridge about (3miles) I totally love it. GG bridge is fun, I've never walked around Angel island but biked it a couple times. I'm up for any walks The 16th may not be a good day for me since I'm driving up to Reggie's Sat. I try to stick around home at least one of the weekend days t give hubby some time. I'm taking the whole day off tomorrow to go to Liz...I'm guessing I'll be home before lunchtime. It's supposed to be hot tomorrow so I won't look like an idiot when I show up damn near naked.:cool:

Congrats Heather!!!! I was looking at your ticker last night and told myself I need to comment on it. Now it's down 2 more pds (see I remember) I'm not much of an egg person either. I can totally due with out them. My thing is I usually don't do traditional breakfast. I mean I can have nachos for breakfast my stomach doesn't care. Lately I've been having my protein shake though ( I know I'm not supposed to) I also do turkey bacon or ham. Ok I'm off to do my walk... I think I'm doing liquids today just to make sure I'm light tomorrow.

hello- I'm not as strick with the measuring. I do have those little 1/2 cups to put my protein in. My salads i don't measure. I just got done doing the questions from the binder. there are a few thing in there I still need to work on. So this nest week there will be no snacking for me!

What kind of water bottle do you have? I was looking a the camelbak but it has some type of sippy thing and I know we are not supposed to use straws. Does that count? What about the Klean Kanteen? has anyone tried theose?

Morning Tamra, morning ladies...Tamra u are like me up with the chickens. Ok I'm excited about getting my walks in this weekend. Weight myself this morning and I'm down another lbs, by my scales standards. I think I need to make a list of all the things i need to buy before surgery, I want to be super prepared.

NIcole, I'm sure if it's meant to be Mike will get it. I know it's hard not to stress about it. We still have our fingers crossed. I've had a long week, can't believe how tired I am. I'm going on my walk in the morning, run a couple errands and come back home. Riley have fun shopping...I know I would if I were shopping for a 12. Oh Tina, I forgot to mention that I ordered the fit flops from VS I got the black ones. I don't have them yet since i refused to pay for extra shipping. What a rip off. OK I think I better go to bed.....all of a sudden I have a sweet tooth that I'm trying to suffer through.

Maria, don't worry I'm sure you will be there next week....at least now you know where you are. I'm meeting w/ Liz on Monday and I'm struggling with making sure I'm not over too. So I know how you feel. Cancel the carbs and sugar this weekend, you'll be ready to roll before you know it.

Candra I'm like you.....if you hear somebody say "you should have seen what Jes had on...." believe it, don't even try to defend me.

Why don't you just go to Kaiser Richmond? like during your lunch or something? well before you eat :wink:

I like it!!

ok I'm happy now...got the skinny latte. Yea Maria, so yes there will be 3 of us, how exciting. Oh Chica you sound like you are my size, I had to loose 19lbs, I'm at 23 right now. You know they take your orientation weight as the starting point...so don't start dieting yet.

Maria are you at your surgery goal weght yet? I thought I read that a few pages back.... Riley, I am not feeling work today and I have to be here till 6 tonight but it's all good I plan on talking to you all the whole time unless I go get another one of those skinny lattes :wink:

nicole........we beat the record 11 people :sneaky:

Welcome Chica, as you see from my siggi I've been at this for a while but not long enough to give it up. Hopefully I'll have my surgery sometime next month. You've come to the right place these ladies are a wealth of info, so ask away.

Hey there, how's everyone? So today is likethe 1st day I feel like I can breath, work has been crazy. Sould be smooth for the next month or so. Reggie, girl thanks for the invite i can get to meet you. I don't mind bringing something or even chipping in so let me know. Candra, congrats congrats you are on your way. What are your dates again? i'm gonna try ans schedule aroud the times you are going (work permitting) I go on Monday.I don't feel so bad. I weighed myself last night after eating with clothes and I'm still down so that's good. So what did you wear? sundress? Tamra, I saw your question about coffee and I just decide give it up.....it was hard though I mean I went through withdrawals. My kitchen counter looked like starbucks. If it has to do with coffee I have it. I enjoy making it every morning plus I have a long cummute and need it. I've finally found a decafe that I think is tolorable (Peet's Major D's decafe) and I use sugar free cream. I find that I don't drink as much and it doesn't give me that quick high but that's ok. The main thing is that I do think the caffene produces hunger pangs so it had to go. So it's almost Friday, does everyone have plans for the weekend? I've got a 3 day-er since I go see Liz on Monday.

ok back from my meeting just in time to go home. The decafe skinny latte is off the hook!! thank you, I so needed that treat. Ok so tonight is our big party for my son, Candra I'll be checking back in before I go to bed on what happend today. I don't know why I'm getting nervous.

skinny vanilla latte sounds yummy!! thanks. I'll try the americano next time. I've been staying out of there since I had to give up caffine. Oh so did you hear the latest?? probably not. UC has a long list of people who are exempt from the furloughs and of course my dept is not on that list, so Dr's, patient care and faculty don't have to do furloughs now (all the people who already make a ton of money) I'm venting because they just sent an email out basiclly saying sorry we know it's not fair but tough luck. ok, I better get out of here to my meeting type to you all later.

hey there...i'm off to a meeting what can I get from starbucks?

Hi Ladies, I'm taking a break from my do do list.....So we decided to have an impromptu going away party for my son tomorrow evening. I'm making beef, chicken & shrimp fajitas. so I've been chopping since I got home. I am so tired. Candra good luck tomorrow be sure to post all the details for me ok back to work....my house is a mess.

oh I forgot to tell you all that I emailed Dr Park last week to tell her about me getting to goal and she sent me a nice reply and said she can't wait to see me. I thought that was nice.

good evening ladies....wow 3 pages Tina are you with the county or state? You know what's a trip is that as soon as the public sees some crazy person harm a kid or even worse it's all over the news and people are in shock that those things happen. Everyone sits around scratching their heads wondering what happened instead of pointing to the system and all the cutbacks they do. I mean we just voted to make sure that chickens are taken care of but we can't keep our kids safe???? Such a F'ing joke. sorry about my rant. Hey Donna, thanks for thinking of me. I'm a little worried about all my eating mess up these last few days. Plus Aunt Mary is visiting, my son is going away to college on Thursday so I'm a little stressed and irritable. Candra how are you doing? Are you all ready for you appt? Wednesday right? I thought about texting you today I walked the bridge. As it turned out my son came with me so we went for a farewell appetizer at Dead Fish... more bad food. ugh!:smile2:

Wow Riley I like that...piggin out once in a while kind of makes sense. I wold never have thought of it like that but I notice as soon as I make a change I start loosing again.
