Recommended Posts

Wow, you don't check in for a while and people break their noses!!!:faint: Boo, what a freak accident:omg: ....glad your starting to feel better. Are you going to need surgery to fix it?

Kat, your poem was a riot:biggrin1:

Julie hope you get home safe. It is nice to visit, but there really isn't any place like HOME!

Went to see Dreamgirls last night with a few girlfriends, it was very good. Jennifer Hudson has some voice! We are invited to some friends house tomorrow night. I hope I don't wake up with a Migraine Monday like last week.

Did 3 mile walk with DH.

Betty: I can't wait to join you in onederland! I honestly can not remember the last time I was "one something"....oh yes I can! It was after some MAJOR surgery and I had been deathly ill for several months. I went down to 170/165 from about 205. Funny, I forgot all about that . Interestingly I chose that number for my goal weight. Our subconscious mind is really something. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement!

Here's to ONEDERLAND IN 2007!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yes, I am bruised. Big knob on the bridge and two black eyes. When it happened, I thought I was going to pass out, then started crying. No one was near me, (so no witness.) The swelling has gone down a lot, but the nose is crooked. The doctor has to look at it next week, after swelling is gone to see what needs to be done.

I can't imagine how I would feel if it were NOT an accident! So, in that regard, I feel blessed.

I saw "Dreamgirls" last night, too! I thought Jennifer Hudson ruled the show.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! BEST WISHES FOR A NEW YEAR OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY, AND PERSONAL FULFILLMENT!

Which for us must surely include the lifestyle changes that allow us to reach our weight-loss goal and experience life anew as we embrace daily exercise and make wise food choices.

I haven't posted in a week because, of all things, my computer died on Christmas Day! Good outcome though, it was covered by an Apple extended warranty and I got it back yesterday.

The holiday season has been over-the-top for me. I admit, I'm the Queen of Christmas, but this year was exceptionally busy: 20 guests for a traditional sit-down dinner on Christmas Day; another 20 for a second dinner on Boxing Day; and a dinner party for 10 on the day after that. A total of 50 extravagant meals served in three days and all available beds claimed by houseguests (until Thursday)! Did I refrain from all the delectable goodies? Nope. Did I exercise? Nope. Oh dear, I GAINED three pounds and finished one day short of the December challenge.

OTOH, I gained ONLY three pounds from all the happy overindulgence, and my total exercise for December was good indeed, including 28 individual sessions. And I'll be back to a daily regimen starting tomorrow, with a special yoga class on New Year's Day.

So all in all, I'm a happy camper and now looking forward with great anticipation to the moderation, abstinence and tranquility of January. Or as Kat's poem says, "But isn't that what January is for? Unable to giggle, no longer a riot, Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!"

April Bandits December Challenge: SIXTEEN days of exercise completed (28 individual sessions of 35 min. or more)

Hi all, here is my last post I guess for the December challenge, I have been good here in Atlanta with my food intake and have been running/walking for one hour plus most days.......I asked for one of those rubber bands that you can tone up with, and I have been doing exercises with that! Probably had too much wine in this festive season, but hey, gotta have some vices and I don't have many left hehehe!!!!

I signed myself up for speed-dating, it went ok, I will write more about it in the Jan challenge, and I have a date back home in NZ when I get back there from this holiday.......

So what are all our New year resolutions?

XX Amourette!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
