You all are *NOT* going to believe this!!

It's a 3-way TIE!!!

3 votes for Spash Mtn.

3 votes for the $250 deals

3 votes for Tunica

Only 1 person didn't vote... so do we make her the tie-breaker, or is someone not "married" to their vote & want to change it??

WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT???????

Just got up and sitting here trying to warm up. Hubby just got the fireplace going. I need to get in and take a shower. There is a support group meeting at my Doc's at 10am. and I think I'm gonna go to it.

Kit-- So glad to hear from you. When I got into bed last night I realized that we hadn't heard from you and I said a prayer that all had turned out well. I understand about the speech thing. My Mom suffered from TIA's and we would occasionally have to deal with that. Good Luck to you and your whole family. And how exciting that you will be meeting a new bandster. You will good at guiding them thru the procedure and mentoring them. Make sure you send them our way. We will have a big Howdy for them.

I did great at dinner last night. Didn't even get a margarita. I kept thinking how bad I wanted one but it kept popping in my head that it would just be empty calories. So I ordered my chicken taco and a side of guacamole. Took me about a half hour to eat, just kept reminding my self to take small bites and to chew, chew, chew.

I seriously need to work on my Water today. I didn't get as much as I should have yesterday.

Everyone have a great day.

Tracy... the post you are referring to was meant for all of us. It did not single you out. There was a space between what Michelle wrote to you about not assuming and what she wrote to all of us about voting our own conscience. Not worrying about what is best for someone else.

You need to reconsider. I've gone through this many time in chat rooms. They words you see typed can be interpreted in many ways. You have to consider the intent of the author. Michelle would never hurt anyone's feelings or single anyone out to be rude. She's not like that and you know that in your heart.

Step back. breathe And let's all figure this out together, K?

This is a trip for the Violet Sistas who have been supporting each other through good and bad for almost a year now. Let's not turn it into something devisive. I love you all and we need to stay focused on our goal, weightwise and "gettin' together" wise.

Today at the support meeting the nutristionlist said that we could get our Water intake from drinking water with CL, tea, coffee. She preferred thatwe just get used to the taste of water but we could try putting a slice of lemon or lime in our drink. Anything that wouldn't add empty calories was fine with her.

[Daisalana 33]

That's good to know. I drink double what I tell my doc in Water then lol. I drink a lot of tea.

Subject: Norwegian Diet

A Norwegian was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.

'I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this

procedure for 2 weeks.

The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds.

When the Norwegian returned, he shocked the Doctor by having lost

nearly 25 POUNDS!

'Why, that's amazing!' the Doctor said, 'You followed my instructions?'

The Norwegian nodded and said...'I'll tell you though, I taut I was

gonna drop dead dat 3rd day.

'

'From hunger, you mean?

'No, yust from all dat friggin skippin'!'
