Long day!!!! After work we come home and did our yard as well as the neighbors, fixed dinner, watered, messed with the chopper, and now gettting ready to shower and go to bed.

Good news is, as I was walking behind the mower, I kept having to stop and pull up my pants, they are getting too big!!!!

I have a challenge for ALL of us!!! A double header even!!!

CHALLENGE #1----

Move for at least 15 minutes tomorrow. Walk, swim, dance nekkid in the kitchen---whatever, lets just move.

and

CHALLENGE #2----

Tell us something you like about yourself!

We can all name dozens of things we like about one another, but I sense all this "I'm a failure" attitude, so lets swap it out for positive----and find things about us we like.

Will look forward to answers tomorrow when I get in from work!!

XOXOXOX

HEADS ARE GOING TO ROLL TOMORROW!!! Without explaining it, someone at work blatantly stole $2k from me. I mean outright stole. I am so livid, ya'll don't even know the wraith I'm bringing into work tomorrow.

What I like about myself,,,,,,,,,,,hmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,I like my tan that I have from being in the pool.

Haydee, hope your sister is doing ok. I bet she's gonna be really sore today. Keeping her in my prayers.

Laura, Go gettum Girl.

Great idea, Kat! C'mon, it's not that hard... what's one thing you like about yourself: first thing that pops into your head! Go!

Me? I'm reliable. I'm funny. I'm loyal. I'm too nice. See... it's easy once you get going!!

Now the moving part??? ok, ok... I'll wilt the lettuce if I dance "au naturel" in the kitchen, but I will do some form of conscious excercise.

THANKS, KAT!!

Morning Girls~ or Grills as Johnny says!

I will work on the movement thing...I am breaking down the classroom today...lots of bending and stretching.

What do I like about myself?? I am funny, smart, and doggoneit...people like me (ala Stewart Little...SNL).

Kat, thanks for thinking of this. We need to stay positive ALWAYS...even when times are tough.

Going for my second opinion today on my eyes (lift). My doc goes on vacay right when we come back from Italy, and wont be back until Aug. Well, early Aug we go to Tahoe to spread dad's ashes. I am trying to nail down some dates from my step mom but it is VERY TOUGH on her to even think about it. So, I am forced to go to another doc to get his opinion...and if the dates work, I'll go to him. I don't want to because I see my doc at the gym every day (when I go)...would feel weird if after I paid for my consult, that I go to someone else :cursing:

Anywho...right now we are going out to eat at Burgers and Beer tonight, then to go see Sandra Bullocks new movie w/ Stefanie. We have free passes for the preview tonight, but the movie does not come out until Friday. This is subject to change because Susanne worked until 11:30 last night...after working ALL DAY TOO...and is already gone at 5:50am. I think she will be tired, but she said she is looking forward to it?! We will see.

Ok...enough blahblahblah'ing...have a great day!

xooxxo:thumbup:

Good morning! Even though I worked until so late last night I got here early and I got so much done already... I think it's because I'm getting into vacation mode. I'm so ready for next Tuesday to get here! I definetly need to start packing.

Michelle - yep, we all rushed to the hospital to be with her. She is doing worse today with the pain of all the brusing. Did I spell that right, LOL?

I've gotta remember to type in a bigger font so Pamela will read my posts, LOL!

Tonight all the girls from my office are headed to an Astros game. My boss rented us a suite with food and drinks and a limo is taking us to the game and back home. How nice is that?? We're all excited!

Kat - I'm gonna be doing inventory in the warehouse today so that will require alot of moving and stretching and pulling. But that is such a great idea. If we break it down in 15 min increments I think it will be easier to handle. I can definetly do at least 15 min of SOMETHING per day! Oh and what do I like about myself? Umm, I'm very nurturing and like to take care of people. I really like that about myself... And if we talk physical? I like my skin color! LOL...

Good morning gals

#i went for my 45 minute walk

#2 I guess i like my eyes. I was going to say i like that i can motivate myself when i need to, but that is not all the time, so i don't think it counts

Please pray for Kev, I know you are all not so found of him, but he has been trying, but the last month he has been very off again, tired, distant, depressed.... anyway, it all is so familier and i should have put 2 and 2 together, but his artery is blocked again. He has a stent put in 3 years ago. He is going in for a cath tomorrow to find out exactally what is going on andwhat needs to be done, and will probably be going in for another stent on Monday.

off to go get this pb thing undercontrol. i cantell i'm stressed

      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.
