Ok, this is something from my past life... but back at the beginning of the year I worked for McCormick Canada, which is the Canadian div. of McCormick & Co, the spice co. I left there for another job, which you all know didn't work out... long story and bad experience. Anyways, one of the last major projects that I did while at McCormick was to develop their new website. This was my baby, which was 99% complete when I left, but not launched. Well... they finally launched it!!! This is something I worked for almost 2 years on, and is pretty cool. It's a Canadian site, but thought you might like to see...

Kathy - Very nice. You have some great website making skills. Are you able to use those skills in your new job?

Went outside for a nice walk/run. 60 degrees but WINDY. My ears were burning when I got back.

Sugar... thanks. I don't really have much to do with the website in my new job other than to suggest what I'd like. The last was a big project which was great. I didn't do the techie stuff, just the strategy, ideas and content. As for that 100lb mark, it keeps eluding me! I run, run, run... but it stays stuck at 96lbs. I've been there since early Dec. Oh well, it will happen soon. Looks like you hit both of your goals... 100 off and in Onederland!!! Congrats! It feels great doesn't it!

OK, I am so sorry I have procrastinated setting this up, but the challenge is set up and ready to go. You should receive an email inviting you to the challenge. All you have to do is accept the challenge and then log your runs. You will be able to click on my challenges and see everyones progress.

I noticed when I set this up that we can do team challenges as well. That might be fun to do sometime. We could break up into a couple of teams and then work together to reach our goals.

Anyway, here is who I have set up for the challenge:

Myself

Kathybad

GeorgiaGirl

Whosya

eclipse

MacMadame, when you get set up PM me and I will try and add you to the challenge.

If I missed anyone let me know and I will add you, or if anyone that is on the list doesn't get an invite let me know and i will try and fix it.

Happy Running!!

BTW, I did a 5 mile walkrun with a friend this morning and survived it. Too bad it wasn't tomorrow morning!!

I check her blog and she hasn't blogged since the end of October. I am really concerned about her. I hope she is doing ok. I don't have her email to invite her, but I will PM her and see if she wants to join us. Great idea.

BTW, Did you really have to show the results of that last challenge. LOL Man, did you ever kick my butt. It won't be so easy this time!!

OK, I am really gearing up to get back on track with this thing. I have thought of something new I am going to do.

I am going to weigh every Monday morning and that's it. Here's the kicker...Each Monday when I weigh I will adjust my ticker to my actual weight, even if it is up. I am 7 or 8 pounds above my ticker weight. I have got to get real with myself, and my ticker needs to reflect where I REALLY am. I think this will help motivate me.

Anyone want to join me with a ticker update in the morning. A fresh start we might say. I don't want to have to lose 7 pounds before any of it "counts".

ANy takers??

      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.
