Shrinkin' Violets- Part 2 Read Here

[Haydee 2]

Way to go TracyKS!! What a WOOSH!

I have an appointment this Saturday to go see my fill doctor. I'm gonna ask her to check my band and check my port to make sure everything is ok. I hope she gives me a fill this time...

[Haydee 2]

Hi Jenn! Good to see you posting! Line dancing class sounds like so much fun!! Hope you're able to start soon. I've been wanting to join a salsa class but haven't had the courage because I'd have to go by myself! I think I might just do it...

[mdrai 3]

Yeah, doesn't he realize that sitting around eating w/him is what got me fat in the first place?? :cool2:

Haydee... the Zumba class I'm going to is very similar to a Salsa class, I think... it's latin american music & we mambo & salsa & cha cha cha all over the place! I like it because the music is so upbeat -- I can't help but move to it! I went all by myself... walked right in... grabbed a spot... and did it! So can YOU!!

Way to go Tracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle, put the scale in your trunk.

I agree the fried eggs sounded odd, I guess you can fry anything. They were talking at work the other day about fried twinkies, that seems odd also.

Oh well off to start my day!!

Hugs to you Jenn!!!!!!!!!

I was channel surfing last night and came across qvc, they had a beautiful Bracelet as the bargain of the day, sort of reminded me of my wwjd bracelet!!!!

I've tried FRIED TWINKIES!!!!!!!!!! and they are good!!!!!!!! LOL

My tummy is growling! Yogurt NEVER holds me!

[Haydee 2]

Fried SNICKERS! oh my those are to die for... Yep, you can pretty much fry anything....

Michelle - Zumba sounds fun! I'm gonna see if it's on my class schedule at the gym...

Good morning girls!

Good to see you wanting to make positive steps Jenn----the decision to move on forward is sometimes the hardest part of really doing it!

We lost our game last night, but it was mainly due to the arguement between our coach and Rick's secretary's family (4 women on the team are from her family, her 2 DD's and her sister). They made a "statement" to the coach by not showing up! Claimed an emergency. He finds out today they were mad so didn't come. Since it is a co-ed team, you are required to play equal # of men and women. And you MUST have 4 each to make a team. The only way we made 4 women was to play Barb who is 7 months pregnant! So it wasn't pretty! Most of the other team (which was the other company team) knew what was going on, and made a game of it, but there were about 4 guys whose sole mission was to pound them into the ground. Glad it is over! I felt horrible, but was not taking any chances and playing!

I am going to lunch with my friend Marie today. She is coming over and we are walking down to the Mexican place here in town. It is a nice walk, maybe 1/3 of a mile. Going is nice, but actually getting up and walking AFTER eating makes me feel soooo much better!

Swelling is still bad, and I have a horrid rash----all over my torso, grainy and under the skin mostly, except in the places I have scratched it raw. I wake myself up at night scratching, and when I scratch over one of my incisions it brings me out of a deep sleep in a hurry! So will ask him about it this afternoon. I am living on Benadryl and Zyrtec to keep the itching at bay----so I am like a zombie I am always sleepy.

YAY it is payday!!! So I can at least put it in the other account and have some money at my disposal. Everyone (ok NOT everyone, but parents, and Becky, even DD and DS) was offering us money to get by!! Would be nice to have our own! Such a crappy thing to happen!

Did any of you read that Alex changed the edit options page to include an area to make your font, color and size your own personal choice and default.....just go to your edit options page and it is at the bottom. Yay Alex!!! Fonts we will be able to see with old eyes!!!

Rick used to only occasionally question my eating habits. But since surgery he pays waaaay to close of attention!!! He is gradually backing off since he sees I am eating, I have had zero nausea....all that jazz. I know they do it because they care and worry---we would probably do it too!!!

Well I need to go get Kinsey and I ready. She is going to Nana's (my Moms) and I am going to lunch. Gotta tell you, yesterday we were in town and I groaned getting in the van (driving it because it is easier to get in and out of with my sore tummy)---and I said something about getting old, and Kinsey pipes up with "you not old Granny, Nana is" There was no not laughing, even Mom was cracking up!!! Out of the mouths of babes she says!!!

Check in later!!

Yeah I've seen some yummy looking fried stuff, but I've never actually been anywhere that had it.

I'd like to try the snickers, and cheese curds..

Twinkies are disgusting non-fried, I wouldn't touch em even if they fried it.

That's so exciting Tracy! 170's! WOWEEE!!

We did our Wed. night cracker barrel last night.. I got 1 catfish fillet, with turnip greens. Somehow (I say somehow, because I have no restriction, nothing is off limits anymore, I even ordered the smaller meal just so I'd have less to eat) I ate 3/4 of the fillet and all of the turnip greens-man they are good-and I felt so stuffed on the way home. I didn't catch it while I was eating, but I had the knot in my stomach, like the pre-band knot you get on thanksgiving day. I was miserable, and I said something like 'Man I am hurting, I wish I could just puke some of it up'.. Russell looked at me and goes 'Gee, that's the spirit'.. heh.

Having my morning chocolate milk, and I'm already hungry. By time I went to bed last night, I was craving something. I was half-asleep and half-starving for a hamburger. I decided to sleep and forget about the craving.. but then I woke up, and I'm still craving meat.< /p>

MY MOM HAS HER DATE in DENVER with DR. K!!!!!!!!!!!!

December 11, 2008!!!!!

[Teachlady 3]

Good afternoon, Violets.. Can't get my default to work for the fonts and color of the posts. I was excited I wouldn't have to do all that stuff anymore, but looks like I still will. I changed everything in edit options and saved it, but still won't work.

Ethan is finally napping so I have a little quiet time.

Had an egg with cheese and sausage for Breakfast, but Ethan ate most of it and what I did eat, I pb'd. Just finished some yogurt and will eat again at 2:30.

Tracy.. congrats to your mom on her surgery date. My friend that was going to have hers done next Friday had the date moved up to Tuesday. She's so anxious to get things done.

As for the food porn you all have been mentioning today. I prefer the chocolate covered stuff to the fried stuff. Gimme a chocolate covered potato chip any day!! Ok.. not today. I'm trying to be extra good.

We leave on our cruise in 9 days. That will be it for the year and only one cruise next year.

I'm excited about Alabama next year. A dear friend that I have been chatting with for over 5 years lives in Mobile. He is contemplating coming to meet me in person while I'm with you ladies. So don't be surprised if I take an afternoon off to run away with him! And yes, the Bobster knows and approves, so don't even think what you're thinking!!!:cool2:

It certainly is Fall here. It's only 49 degrees right now and it just looks like Fall. DD Kris and I are headed to Mackinaw City on Friday after a side trip to an apple orchard. We hope to hit all the closing sales at stores as Mackinaw basically shuts down for the winter.

One more concert and a little gig at a senior citizen's home and I will be done with performing for the year... I HOPE!!

Well, time to go dig out the winter clothes from one closet and replace them with the summer things.. at least the stuff I'm not taking on the cruise.

I hit the hot tub last night and it sure felt good. They are coming to close up the pool this week sometime. I'm ready to head to the warm waters of the Caribbean for some relaxing and alone time with the Bobster. Well, as alone as you can be with 3,000 other people on a ship!!

Everyone have a great day!!

[Daisalana 33]

Mobile is quite a drive, but ya'll should definitely do that, it's a lot closer than Michigan!

I am going to a support group tonight. I forgot about it--really wish I hadn't. I am so frumpy looking today, I hate getting dressed these days.. nothing ever fits right, but I can't wear maternity yet!

Someone on LBT, said there's a group that means in town, but it's mostly bypass. She's trying to get enough of us together to start an official lap band group in town. I'm in!

Mom wants to take me to olive garden for lunch today.....chicken scampi!!!!!!!!!!

Man I am so hungry... I want sausage and eggs too Judy!

[Kat817 19]

Judy just type it and see if it does not post correctly---some have, some haven't, but he will get the kinks worked out!!!!

Off to lunch!! There is a chimichanga with my name on it!!
