Morning Girls, Up and dragging my butt.

I'm taking Sis to hospital to have her colonoscopy done and than take her back home. Doc said it's been 5 yaers since her last one so it's time again.

Jane, What happen with the fill you got? Have you lost your restriction? I'm one of those ones that have to keep reminding myself that the band and a DIET work together. Even though I have the band and some good restriction, I still have to refrain from putting the food in my mouth. Hang in there.

Just remembered it's CTCD, ugghhhhhh.

Jane-you are not alone! Trust me!

I go to the dentist this morning so they can fix a front tooth I chipped while eating sunflower seeds :thumbup: I HATE dentists. Pray for me....I am the worlds biggest baby. It should just need a little bonding and I will be good to go. If it takes more than that then I may need nitrus :tt2:

By the way, I have put back on like 4 pounds but I am not changing my ticker because it is just temporary....I am going to fix THAT problem!

bbl friends

Good Morning, Violets.

Ethan has arrived and I've had my breakfast... I changed it up a bit. I had HAM salad and soy nuts and no oranges. wooo hoooo.

Nothing planned for today except for laundry and waiting for the big storm to hit. We're under a warning from 4 p.m. til 3 a.m. tomorrow and expecting 6+ inches of heavy wet snow. We got some freezing rain last night and a little snow, but the big stuff is saved for tonight. Kris's doctor's appointment is at 2 and I sure hope she doesn't go into labor during the storm. But then again I want to meet this grandbaby really bad.

In the shower this morning, I finally decided that if I get to -100#, then I'm going to look into the

Panniculectomy procedure. I just have too darn much flabby belly fat. I swore I wouldn't have any more surgery, but I think this is going to be necessary. I don't want the full Tummy Tuck. I just want to be rid of this flap of flab. The Bobster says he supports me 100% though he's very complimentary about my looks right now. So we'll see. At least it's something to shoot for.

I guess TracyinKS has abandoned us. sighhhhhh

Everyone have a great day!! BBL..

[Haydee 2]

Jenn - you'll do great tonight with your trainer! Good luck with the cardio but I don't think you'll need it, you'll be fine....

Terry - I meant to tell you the other day AWESOME JOB on coming under budget. Me and Juan seriously need to get our spending under control. We don't spend more than we make but we don't save nearly enough. But anyhoo, just wanted to give you kudos because that's so hard to do but you're kicking butt with it...

Janie - hello friend... You're not a failure! Keep on keeping on. One day at a time... That's all we can do Janie, one day at a time.

Pammy - OMG, I got my tweezers last night. They are amazing! My family was over for dinner last night and I opened up your package in front of my sisters and they wanted to steal them! Thank you so much...

Beautiful day here today. Hopefully the cold weather is making it's way out the door. I'm ready for sunshine! Two weeks till my vacation!! I can't wait, I need some down time...

Off for my coffee....

[HeatherO 7]

TracyK - yep, i see your point. I love love road trips but only on my way there. On my way there i'm in a good mood, singing, chatting but then on my way back I'm usually tired, cranky, ornery and just want to get home. When we do road trips Juan drives all the way back and he tells me to just go to sleep that way I don't bug him with my crankiness... LOL

Plane trips can be just as bad, lol. Over the past 2-3 years I flew to Germany 3 times and Turkey 3 times. There have been a ton of domestic flights as well, but for a few hours I can't complain.

I am always sooo excited to go, but coming back and having to sit on a plane somewhere between 8 to 11 hours and a couple of transfers in between . . . make . . . me . . . crazyyy!!! I am annoyed, uncomfortable, tired, cranky and all the movies are kind of boring. By that time I just want to go home after being abroad for a while. Also going to the Middle East, no one really asks a lot of questions or pays much attention to you in security more so than they would for a domestic flight . . . but coming back into Europe or the US from the Middle East is a completely different story and very hassle prone.

Last November was the absolute worst. I was in the first trimester and my band was acting up so that it was super, super tight on the plane and nausea was running rampant. I remember looking for one of those "special blue bags" for the first time in my life . . . and there was nothing there!!!! I barely had a chance to get the door of the teeny tiny WC closed before it was all coming up . . . and this happened several times on that flight. This was a 10-11 hour flight and the longest exercise in sheer misery I can remember in many years. Thank goodness my DH was there.

Sorry to write on and on, lol. You just brought up some very distinct memories :0). They are still all to fresh in my mind.

My mom had tooth "surgery" on Tuesday.. they gave her a crap load of pills to take to sedate her, then they did a root canal, cap, and pulled a tooth. She hasn't been to the dentist since I was a kid, had 2 broken teeth and finally decided she had to get it fixed (she couldn't eat anymore). She was sooo scared, on Monday evening she was freaking out, I kept telling her it's fine, etc. Tuesday came and she was afraid the drugs wouldn't knock her out enough, she was babbling and non-coherent. My dad had to carry her.. then someone had to babysit her all day at home, so at 3 I went over and took care of her. She slept most of the time, but woke up twice asking for food.. Anyway, it was entertaining. I don't think I've ever seen her so doped up, even coming out of a real surgery she was more coherent than she was on Tuesday!! Oh, my point is though it was not as scary as she thought it was going to be.

I made spaghetti squash last night. I finally tried it! I have to say, I was impressed. Russell liked it too. I made it with a creamy pesto sauce topped with parmesian. I think it would have been better with a normal alfredo sauce and adding some veggies in it (most recipes say to put veggies in it, but I hurt my hip so I spend as little time in the kitchen as I can). I had asked Russ to get it out of the fridge for me since it was in a bottom drawer, and he dropped it.. so it split in half the short way, so it ended up being more work to scrape it out when it was done cooking, and ended up being shorter pieces.. but still yummy.

Oh yeah, my hip is hurt! It's getting worse every day, feels like a pulled muscle or a rock is wedged in my spine. Sitting is a dull ache, but walking causing sharp pains. WEEE. It never ends for me, I'm always broken. I guess the good news is, laying down makes it go away completely do it doesn't hurt to sleep, and sitting down is a bearable pain. It's just when I have to run around work or do things around the house that it hurts.

Carson says thank you Auntie Pam!!! That was too cute, I love the little turtle & the tie-dye!

Finally we're back up and running. I hate it when this site goes down.

No snow yet and just waiting for the report from Kris after her 2:00 appointment. I just know there will be a baby in the next few days and I'm getting really antsy!! Can't imagine what Kris is feeling!

[Suziecat 379]

Susie, who knew you had such a potty mouth on you!:tt2:

WOW...what a busy day. I havent been on all day. Went to gym, did 4 miles on bike and 60 crunches...then cramped up, lol.

Going to La Verne today to see Janet defend her diss!!! Big day for her...I am so proud.

I am starving! Watching movie about Rosa Parks now. Have a great day!

xoxox

[Suziecat 379]

Irish, Good luck on your appointment, hope it goes well. We have only had a few little sprinkles here but they are calling for storms tonight and snow this weekend.

I'm gonna take it easy the rest of the day and am having a salad for dinner.< /span>

[Teachlady 3]

Good afternoon, Violets..

I guess we're going to get a humdinger of a storm. We're supposed to get 7-9 inches of heavy, wet snow along with thunderstorms!!

Ethan just left and I won't see him until Wednesday morning. He and his family are going downstate to see his stepbrother play hockey.

Kris got back from the doctor and reported in. She is 1-2 cm. dilated and 80% effaced and the baby is about 9# and sunny side up. This waiting is killing me.. I'll be so happy when the baby is here and I can start cuddling and being Gramma to another little person.

Suzie... Breakfast sounded ummmmmmmmmm interesting. :thumbup:

I had some blueberries and cream for lunch with a couple of chicken strips leftover from Applebees. I've been munching on pistachios and had an Atkins Endulge bar for a treat and really didn't care for it much. I think I'll leave the rest for the Bobster.

We're having leftover pot roast hash for supper. Yummy. I'm even going to break down and have the potatoes in it.

Last load of laundry is calling me. Have a good evening everyone. PamELa.. have a good trip and listen well... you're next to defend the diss!

And I got a little exercise in today so the giving up of sloth is on track for Lent.

Hi gals

thanks for the encouragement Haydee, but cancelled tonight and rescheduled for Saturday at 3, dd had something she had to do for school and i am hanging with ds, which is better, because it is quiet there on Saturday and I won't feel like an ass if i fail.

I am glad, just got my monthly visitor, thank goodness, i feel like i could eat a horse.

I am not getting on a scale until it is gone, i know i'll jump off a bridge if i get on today, as good as i've been this week

well, have a good night - have to find food
