July Chat

[SherryW 4]

I'm alive...I'm still woozy, rocking with sea legs trying to gain my land legs back lol. I just can't see straight enough to type enough tonight. I think I read folks are giving up chocolate and ice cream for a week. Does that start on Monday? If so COUNT ME IN! I'll do it!

Cindy...my DH told me to tell you he said you look fantastic! What a difference and keep up the great work! (I gave him a hug for ya lol) You really do look awesome my friend.

Darcy - I haven't been banded all that long but, I can certainly understand frustration when it comes to gaining and losing from all my prior tries. Girl....you can do it but ya now...you need to cut yourself some slack (like I should talk right? UGH) but, truly you're a wonderful person and things will get better. Just like you said...get back on track, kick it up a knotch and you'll be on your way for sure! Hugs my friend and I'm routing for you!

Pat - Nice to see you again..I've missed ya

Doc - Great pics of your son. What an accomplishment and one to be very proud of. Thanks for sharing.

Betty - so sorry about DH's job. I do hope he finds something soon. I"m praying for a good opportunity to come to both of you.

Patty - Have you tried looking at Freecycle.org? It's a group you can join in yahoo that is awesome. I run one here for the city of Taunton. People recycle things they no longer need but, can also ask for things they do need. the wanted postings help remind folks of items they have and aren't using that perhaps they'd be willing to recycle. People offer things they no longer need to see if someone can use it and to keep it out of the landfill. In our group constantly I'm seeing people give away Air conditioners for nothing. All you gotta do is pick it up! Give it a shot you might get one or two for your home. Many folks getting Central Air get rid of the window units so its worth a shot! Great way to recycle kids clothing too! They grow so dang fast.

Well folks it's late and I"m really cross eyed now lol. Love ya and hope to catch up with everything soon.

Sherry, hope you get your land legs back really soon! Tell your DH I appreciate his nice comments, and glad you already bestowed the hug for me! Glad you are going to play with us on our little challenge! I am starting this challenge today...but if you want to start Monday, that's cool. I'm starting today, and going through next Friday...officially. That's one full week and then some. But if Darcy wants to go two weeks, then I'll go two weeks. What say you?

I am up early because I had to get my coffee and oatmeal in before 6:30, because my dr. does not allow food or drink for 4 hours before a fill, and my appt is at 10:30. The place I go is about an hour's drive away, so I take a little cooler and a Protein Drink to have on the way home so I don't suffer too long! LOL! I'm psyched for 3 days of liquids...soups...fruit juice. I have a strange feeling that I want to exercise....am I losing my mind do you think? Should I seek professional counseling?

Darcy, if cutting out ice cream and chocolate rids me of Migraines, I will give them up forever! However, I just feel sure that those are not causing these headaches....surely not...no, it couldn't be that.....

Day 1 of the CHALLENGE begins today!

Hugs, Cindy

[nightingale2u 42]

Good luck with your fill Cindy! Your on for the 2 weeks whcih surely means we are both a little bent...lol.

Sherry... Sure!!!... join our choclate/ice cream free challenge... start it whenever it works for you... but hate to see you miss out on the suffering this weekend. Hope you stop rocking soon!

Okay... off to make coffee and convince myself to go workout! I guess a peppermint mocha is out of the question when I go to town? *pout* Actually... I haven't been to Star Buck in forever... but NOW I want to...lol.

Have a good one!

Darcy

Okay girls, no sweets for me starting today... only a sugar free frankinfood uhhhh! whats this world coming to? (I finished off my M&M's last night so I'm safe HAAA).

Yes, NO sugary JUNK foods... I mean I can give up chocolate for a week but then I'll run to something else, like Cookies or what not. Besides, the scale hasn't moved in 2 weeks...its time.

Let the fun begin !! GROWL WOOF WOOF

sassafrasss ~

[nightingale2u 42]

Okay Eileen... My head knows you are right on the money in regards to the sweets... and I will TRY to stay away from all sweets. Did I just type that out loud? Generally ice cream and chocolate are the only sweets I eat but it's possible that the cravings for those things will lead me to others! Tuesday is just not going to be the same without my Snickers bar...lol.

[Kat817 19]

Well girls, my DH is gonna love you!!! I have 3/4 of a Blizzard leftover in the freezer...now HE is gonna get it!!! Actually the ice cream will be easier on me than the chocolate. I only get ice cream because he is. Now the bag of mini York mints...they are mine, and going to be given to the kids...or I'll be way too tempted!! So count me in....no chocolate or ice cream, or any combination of the 2....(meaning my leftovers!!!) for minimally 1 week, possibly longer. We can do this. Next I need to conquer Cheetos!!! But since I had my adjustment, I can only eat 3 Cheetos...kind of took the fun away, maybe I'll break the addiction!!! Good Luck All!!!

Great idea Sherry for Patty to find an A/C!!! Maybe she needs to get the word out locally that she needs one. I looked at the website once, but was distracted by something, and have yet to get back. Taking the laptop to the hospital I think...maybe I will find time then.

Well off to help my Dad run some cement....fun...no, but I keep thinking, it will be good exercise!! It is too hot to do it in my opinion, but, he thinks it is now or never!!! Water, taking, lots and lots of water!!!

See y'all later!!

Kat

[NJChick 3]

Yeah Kat !! glad your joining in

Darcy, I can give up chocolate and ice cream for a week, no problem it just that I know myself, I'll be eating banana pudding or cheese cake.... see how my mind works LOL. So for me its gotta be all or nothing.

I have to do this, this week because the 7th is my birthday and I've already ordered a German chocolate cake that's gonna make my eyes roll in the back of my head for my bd.... hehehehehehe... and I"m gonna eat the entire thing LOL.

so there !

[mousecrazy 2]

All right! What a great group! I know we can do this! I just got home with my box of SF popsicles.

Well, the fill was a little different this time...I came away with .6cc's...yes, a little more than I was thinking about. But, Amy (fill doc extraordinaire) and the guy with the flouro know how conservative and cautious I am, and according to the x-ray, I had very little restriction. I knew that since I could eat a plate of blueberry pancakes, with bacon, no problem. Oh yeah, she did the .2cc's, then I had to stand up and swallow the barium, and then we decided to do a little more, so I had to get stuck again, and the 2nd time hurt, which was new. It never hurts! I guess it's because it was already a little sore from the first time...but it's okay now. So, now I'm at 1.3 cc's total. Makes me a little nervous, but I'm ready.

Eileen, what? Not sharing that cake, huh? What birthday is this for you, anyway? You must be getting close to 30 by now....

Darcy, how did the workout go? Did you make it safely past Starbucks?

DD is spending the night with my sis tonight, so it'll be quiet around here!

Hugs, Cindy

[NJChick 3]

Oh Cindy... I'm glad you got your fill but sorry it hurt 2nd time. WTG !!!

Ummmmmmm yeah I'm getting close to 30 again LOLOL and nope, I'm not sharing. I told DH I want a thick, moist, rich chocolate cake and well to make a long story short, I'LL be picking it up (want anything done right,ya gotta do it yourself ROFLMFAO).

REMOVED CAKE PICTURE>>>>>> TO MUCH DROOLING OVER KEYBOARD

[NJChick 3]

SORRY about the cake picture :faint: hehehehehehe :guess

[nightingale2u 42]

Do y'all think she SOUNDS sorry about the cake picture??????? Hmmmm... I think we should make it a 3 week challenge. *evil grin*

Yup... worked out... took an alternate route home to avoid Star Bucks. Having a tough day with some issues between my hubby and I... say a few prayers for us. I love him...he loves me... hopefully that equals us working things out.

(((hugs)))

[DOC 0]

Darcy....

Everytime DH and I go through tough places in our marriage... We end up in better ... closer place.

I will pray that the same happens for you...

kisses,

[mousecrazy 2]

Hang in there, Darcy. Get a good book, and take a nice bath for some "get away" time. It's good to collect your thoughts, and he'll wonder what you're thinking...

Love is love...it'll work out.

That cake picture is just too close to porn for comfort! LOL!

[NJChick 3]

Cindy food porn is right, but thats what you get from an food addict.

Darcy love, hang in there. 3 weeks with a 2 day break inbetween challenge okay lol :rofl:

[Iluvharleys 15]

Hello Y'all!

Cooking supper, so only have a minute. Please pass a piece of that cake for dessert! Yummy!

My foot seems to be doing better, hope it will last.

Dh had an interview, they sent him for a physical, hope it goes well, It's a big cut in salary, but I think he will like the job, close to home and great hours.

Darcy - you are definately in my thoughts and prayers. I know your sweetie will come around!

Cindy sorry about the bad fill!

Eileen - You just had to post that cake huh? Now that's all I will think about all night. I made a point of finishing off all the ice cream last night!

Well, gotta run and watch my supper!

Later!
