That article was great . . . and reminded me that I need to drink my Water. So for me today . . . I will drink at least 4 bottles of water as a minimum (2 liters worth) and I will log into fitday today to start charting my little indiscretions, lol.

No more ignoring what I am or am not sticking in my mouth.

Morning Girls.

TracyKS, how are you feeling this morning and you need to let us know what happened.

I slept in a little this morning. Must be the workout from last night. She's good. I really enjoy going to this class.

Jane, did you get any of the storms from last night? We got a lot of rain. Sorry about threatening you. You know I would never come over and hurt you, unless I let us drink to much and laugh to much.

It's CTCD, so everyone behave yourselves.

Sunshine,

That's a nice resort. and when you stay at one of the Palace resorts you can go and enjoy all the palace resorts. I believe 5 of them. We honeymooned at the Moon Palace and have been back 2 more times since. It's nice to be able to take the shuttle to the other palace resorts for a change of scenery for a day. We had the all inclusive and you get all you can eat or drink at all the palaces also. This last time I didn't eat a whole lot. I enjoyed the resort more because I wasn't focused on eating anything and everything. They also have free tours you get to choose from that some are fun to do.

Thats cool. We didn't know that. I just told my cousin what you had said and she is totally excited.

I am planning on eating lots of fruit and trying to stay away from too much "drinking", but I will allow myself for some down time on the beach with a drink in my hand. :biggrin:

They also have a really nice gym, so I plan on exercising every day at least 30 minutes (this will give me an excuse to have a drink. :))

Thanks for the info, it was helpful.

No, not at all. I've had the article for about the past 5 years, and I refer to it often. I sometimes forget what a big fat liar the scale is. I get so wrapped up in the numbers on the scales sometimes that I forget to focus on how I'm feeling, my clothes getting loser, etc.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Sounds like ya'll are describing the Sandals resort we went to. They shuttle you to the Beaches resorts, everything is all inclusive, the drivers give you a heart attack, etc.

Must be the Mexican version of Sandals!

Another turmoily day at work :biggrin:

I called my obgyn at 8am and left a message with the nurse asking if they have a preggo chiro they can recommend..still haven't called me back, I hate hate hate doc offices that do voicemail instead of answering the damn phone.

Just got a call from Rick....rather cryptic. He said his advice is to take nothing to jury duty, just sit empty handed, twiddle your thumbs and look stupid!

He got picked for a jury. Now if my memory serves me, he left here with a Cycle magazine to read while waiting, so if that is the case, and he is blaming the reading material--the case must have something to do with motorcycles, which is right up his alley. But would explain his "take nothing" attitude!!!

Hamburger is thawed.....now to decide what to do with it.

It snowed again this morning, not much, not like Judy gets, but it is cold again!!! And I am not liking it one little bit!

Well I am off to make a cake, yeah I know....but Rick takes his lunch and eats in his office, so I send most of it with him, but the grandkids always expect to have something here to eat too....and I can usually avoid it better than some sweets!!!

And I am going to have to build a fire--------grrrrrrr

Good afternoon, Violets..

I'm back from my hospital shift, luncheon and taking the dogs to the groomers. It sure is quiet around here without the dogs and Ethan. Nothing on my agenda for the rest of the day except picking up the dogs in a couple of hours and then rehearsal tonight for a couple of hours.

We are under a high wind advisory for tonight and tomorrow morning. They are calling for gust of 50-60 mph. Batten down the hatches!! It was raining this morning with a little snow mixed in. I hope the roads don't get bad before I have to leave tonight.

TracyinKS posted on Facebook that she had been in an accident.

"Battle of the fords..... my f-150 crew cab vs a Mustang.... rain and careless young driver....... don't worry I had a dukes of hazzard moment and landed in a bed of soft grass... I'm all right.. my truck not so much....... but better than the stang........ could of been a lot worse....... upside is the police officer complimented me by saying that I was a "hellofa" driver."

PamELa.. got your card in the mail today. Thank you soooo much!! I'm going to give the gift card to Kristin today... hopefully she'll come over after Grady's doctor's appointment. I haven't seen the little squirt since Saturday and I'm having Grady withdrawal pains!!

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

      2. OhMyGawdItzKla

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
