Ok, so Jane is doing stars---that used to be all the motivation my DD needed!!!

I agree, I think the 5th star should be for maintaining a positive attitude---or a bonus for overcoming a negative action. If you manage to pass on the candy a customer brings in, or if your mind wanders to the dark side, thinking you will never be able to do this, and you manage to pull out of it without binging, then you EARN another star!

Now how many stars are you going to require yourself to collect, before rewarding yourself???

We had a jar, on the fridge and whenever Manda wanted something, we wrote it down and put it in the jar---little things, a book, new stickers for her collection, or a toy when she was younger etc. And when she made the week with her stars for making her bed, and tending her dog etc., with no reminding, then she got to draw a slip from the jar.

You need to start dreaming up things to reward yourself with.

We had to do it with the jar, because otherwise she would do great some weeks when she REALLY wanted something, and slack when nothing was urging her on.....so it had to be luck of the draw. It also as an added benefit with a child showed her that if she waited a bit, sometimes she really didn't want something as badly as she thought she did!!!

Terry-----whatcha doin'?????

Tracy, I swear girl, we gain weight just alike!!! You will notice a swift change I predict with this trainer, helping you--------and you will ALWAYS have the knowledge you get from him!

Pamela, you are amazing!!! 150 crunches PLUS all that other stuff??? I would have been in an ambulance on my way to the hospital if I even tried to do 150 crunches! I am SOOOOO totally impressed, and I do not mean that with even a hint of sarcasm, it is total awe you are reading.....good for you!

Well the Dr. gets back today----------his flight lands at 1, and we begin patients at 2:40. So I am not going in until noon. That will give me enough time to call my labs, and get things done before the schedule kicks in.

I need to go to town this morning tho, and take my car to get the tires fixed. The valve stems have been recalled.....and the tires could use being rotated too.

Back to work stuff for a minute. We are SWAMPED. They just promised every Navajo free glasses, through a government program that had not been advertised, and is getting ready to be eliminated. So......that is what is making things so crazy. And frustrating. Some of these people are making 3 or 4 appointments with all these different Dr.'s and making such chaos........because records need faxed, and Rx's confirmed through other optical shops etc. Last week I sent records for an entire family, that had been patients for several years to another optometrist in a town 150 miles away. I figured they were moving or something, since they had been patients for so long, and had the entire contents faxed to the other Dr. Well she come in yesterday, and was complaining that the other Dr. could not operate, and wanted to put her in stronger glasses, so had the entire thing faxed back to us. 61 pages.........ummmmm hello?? We did not send the original, we HAVE your records! I do not need the 61 pages refaxed back here! And she says to me, well it was FREE! Gimme a break!

I have no issue providing care for people, but abusers in all situations anger me!

Hello everyone,

I love the idea of redoing before pictures. I need to do one post pregnancy so I can jump back on the wagon.

I wanna go awau for the weekend too. I really need a vacation, lol.

I also think a fifth start for a good attitude or turning away from an unhealthy choice is an excellent idea.

Heather you sound pooped! You need to get more rest! Did ya'll make a final decision on the name yet? Is it still Ayla?

Pammy - YOU GO GIRL! oh my goodness! You are rocking this!

Tracy - LOVE that violets t-shirt. That is too too cute. And I love the picture of you and Frank. Ya'll look so sweet together. He's super cute...

Judy - I can't believe Grady is already two months old! It seemed like he was just born yesterday. Did you take any pics at the waterpark? Post some of you in your bikini!

Kat - it must be so so frustrating for you to have to deal with that at work. I can't stand abuse of the system just because you can.

Suzie - That was so nice of you to fill in for that girl so she could go to the game! Have you used your pool yet or just opened it up??

hi guys

a quick check in- really busy at work and should not even be fooling around but i miss you all

glad to see everyone is motivated... me ... not at all, i am not feeling well and so tired in bed early... have not left my house other than work in weeks. My friends are dragging me out for Cinco de mayo tonight but i told them i'm driving and not staying long.

Job is still up in the air... looking good, but up in the air, I should know by the end of the week

anyway, back to work, i have a rocking headache and my fingers are twitching for no apparent reason and i'm in bed at 7:30 every night with ds, but my leg aches are not nearly as bad as they were.

USE BUG SPRAY IF YOU GO IN THE WOODS! Lyme sucks!

Tracy, I was also googoo about my personal trainer. Even though she beat the crap out of me, she was doing it for my own good. I still use things that she taught me.

Haydee, pool is open but just to cold to use right now. I would imagine in the next few weeks we will be in it. Right now it's only getting into the low 70's. A little chilly for me.

Hubby and I are getting ready to go to El Maguey's for Cinco De mayo. You know how people want to sue McDonalds for being fat? Can I sue Mexico?

Have a good one.

Haydee, meant to tell you....

In the hospital they had framed portraits of really nice newborn photos, so my parents said they wanted to do those fancy newborn pictures (think like Anne Geddes stuff). So, we have it scheduled for this Thursday, they said for newborns most pics are naked, but can bring fav. outfits.. last night I had my mom go thru my outfits since they are doing this for them (I'm sure I'll get copies, but I'm not payin for it and it was their idea).

Anyway, I had him in the t-shirt that you got him earlier this week and my mom loved it, although he is in premie clothes and the set you got is 0-3 months; so they are HUGE on him right now.. Mom wants to do the pants & shirt, she likes it so much. I kept telling her it's way too big, the pants wouldn't even stay on him unless I Hold it. She doesn't care lol. So, his first fancy pics are gonna be in the elephant outfit you bought.

They also do 6m and 12m photos in this package, I think at 6m I may have to put the fuzzy elephant coat I bought on him hehehe. He's so gonna be emberassed when he's older.

      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.
