You mean this picture? Man I still hate having my picture taken...I'll work on that after I get some pants that fit better. I'm hoping Santa (with the help of Chrispy) brings them to me :)

hey everyone!! I normally dont post things like this because I know it can annoy some people but a friend of my forwarded it to me and I thought it is perfect for us and our struggles to reach out goals no matter what they are. I know I will think about this next time I want to stop walking after a mile!

Persistence

if you're not ready to climb a mountain, then see if you can walk up a gentle hill. If you're not ready to walk up a hill, then set out to take a leisurely stroll.

If you're not able to walk that far, then you can take a single step. After taking that step you'll likely find that you're ready to take another.

If you have trouble imagining yourself reaching your goal, then imagine yourself taking one small, simple action in the direction of that goal. Imagine it, and then do it.

After that first step, there will be another one you can take, something that's a little bit more challenging and yet not overwhelming. Keep it up, and soon the ultimate goal begins to come into view.

Anything can be accomplished if you are willing to keep taking the next step when it is time to do so. What you lack in brute strength, or resources, or knowledge, or skills, you can make up for with persistence.

You absolutely can get where you choose to go, step after step after persistent step. And now is the perfect time to begin.

Hello Everyone, I'm reading along with you but, haven't had time to get in here to post personals. I apologize for that. I'm so pooped after being on the computer all day at work and it's been pretty stressful in there lately. People are getting grouchy, the chit is hittin the fan on a few accounts which has cause an unreal amount of extra work and I'm suppose to be learning new things with my new position but, I keep getting totally sucked back into what I used to do. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do but, man oh man it makes me pretty brain dead by the end of the day. It's exceptionally easy to do that right now because there is no down time after work either. This is the first time today I've had time to actually hear myself breath and it's 10:14pm. Time to hit the sack GEESH lol.

Anywho..looks like they are expecting 2 snow storms here in NE this weekend starting tomorrow. Hmm one way to burn cals...shoveling huh? BLECKKKKK

Sweet dreams my friends......I miss ya. Hope everyone is doing well and shrinking :)

Good Morning Y'all!

Pat I really love your hair! You look sexy mama!

Sherry - Congrats on wonderland! I am so proud of you!

Jessica - Nice post, thanks for sharing it. It makes me stop and think about how I advoid exercise all the time. I have good intentions, but then I end up not following through.

Good Morning to all the rest, and I'll get caught up soon.

Hugs!

Pat, great hair, girl! Love it, love it!

Sherry, wow! I am so thrilled to see your pretty toes around that great number on the scales! Congratulations!

Jetti, I loved the entry you posted on perseverance...it's so true! Success is only following through on a string of little decisions...and winning on more of them than you lose. We too often seek perfection and it trips us up every time! Thanks for posting that!

Isn't this time of year just hectic as all get out? I am running around like crazy, and no matter how much I get done, my list keeps getting longer??? How does that happen??? Sheesh.

Love ya'll...I am enjoying the cards that are making their way to my home...I'm getting mine ready, just slower than some of you!

Hugs,

Cindy

Hey everyone, just popping in to say hello! Sherry, congrats on making it to Onederland!!!

How is everyone doing with their holiday prep? I have to do my cards and make one more Amazon purchase, then I'm mostly done. My DH has to go to California for the next week, so I'm pretty bummed about that. All this prep and he won't even be around to enjoy it.

I got some bad news today - my dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. They'll be removing his prostate sometime in January. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

I've gotta go to bed - I've been up since 4:30 and I can't keep my eyes open. Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the holiday.

      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.
