I got to get me this book!

I love those quotes.

As for scrapping 46 pages in a weekend, you are one power scrapper! We'll have to share books when we see each other next time.

I have Zoe's 05, 06, 07 books waiting for me to do before I go back to school. I've been having too much fun doing nothing to want to get started.

Really, I've got them all lined up, paper pulled with pictures, I just need to give myself a few evenings or a weekend with out other distractions and I'll get um' done.

46, wow.

Lol BG! I LOVE the chapter on pooping. Really, the whole book is good. Once I get all ofmy scarfs (sarves?) crochet(ed) for my nieces and sis in law I think I want to sit down and re-read it. (the whole book, not just the pooping chapter.)

Not silly.

I've been noticing my hands too. My fingers are no longer little sausages.

This past weekend Alison said more than once, "Have you looked at yourself lately? I mean, have your really looked at how different you look now? It's amazing the changes you've made...." She went on and on....

It made me stop and look at myself nakkit in the mirror and wow, amazing what minus 100+ pounds can do for a body. Aside from the frightening stomach ass I'm happy to see what I see looking back at me. My shoulders and neck are particularly good.

So yeah, chica, I get the being awstruck by your own damn hands. What else has you going, "that's right mutha fucka, that's me!"?

Gotta love the stomach ass....not.

I look at thin girls and see how far their belly button is from like the top of their pants and then I look at mine. I think there must be a good 12 inches between my belly button and my pubic bone. SO not pretty. One day it will be removed, oh yes it will be removed.

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!!!! I hope everyone has had a great start to 2008.

I have been in the process of organizing my life. I work in Information Technology so I have dedicated a huge amount of time to using those skills to assist my personal life. I have been making note of recurring time vacuums, things like having to look up the serial number for something that I own or when I purchased that so and so thing. I have been gathering this info and putting it in a database backing that database up regularly as well. Naturally as with any new system it has taken some heavy work up front but it is starting to pay off.

I now have food logs and excercise data in a spreadsheet allowing me to group data and look at charts...

Aside from this I have not been on my bike for a few months but there is always tomorrow, except I have to work a double tonight and if I do not finish I will be back in to work tomorrow. I have still been walking though, that is my staple.

This so called busy season of mine will be over next month, then I will be able to spend a little more time training and sharing my adventures along the way with you guys. I can't wait I really miss all of you.

BG - I've been noticing my wrist bones lately. Also that my veins seem more apparent in my arms and hands lately. It's very odd.

AND - I'm sick of my jeans being baggy. Lol. (I know - such PROBLEMS!) I figured it was just the cut or style... my 28s and 26s are bagy in the butt and hips and thighs. I haven't had to button or unbutton them since about the same time Iw as able to wear them. So I just happened to be at Walmart today - haven't been able to wear WalMart jeans since 1995 - the year I graduated high school - and I fit into size FREAKING 24! I didn't believe it! I still don't! So yeah, I bought them. Haha. I think later tonight I'm going to take pics of myself in all my jeans, sizes 32 - 24.

I love my band!

Hi! I've missed you. Glad to see you are super nerding it up with the spreadsheets. I'm jealous as hell actually...so I poke fun.

Good to see you're getting churned.

BG about the stomach ass, I've always joked that if I got my navel pierced I'd need to use a bracelet...

The stomach is gross. It has a mind of its own and its own center of gravity. I'd happily sign up for removal today with knowing I'd need a revision if it were free. Ugh.

There you go, an invention idea, something like uber Spankz that will make the MO person who's lost weight look like she's had a TT.

We'd make millions.

      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.
