Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

[Desperate1 1]

Woo Hoo - Hot mamma! Jes - seriously - you look so good - what a difference 35lbs makes is us ladies. I have now just been inspired again to channel my inner skinny chick and EXERCISE

[smallerj 2]

Thanks! the story around those pants is wore them for my 40th b-day party and held on to them because I wanted to get back in them by my 50th, well I'm 4 years early.

Candra the exercise is the key, I'm holding steady because of it. BUt I'd be a lot further along if I paid more attention to my eating. I really want to get below 170 by my b-day and keep it there by the time I see Dr P for another fill. I need one to help me know when to stop.

I'm off alcohol for a bit...one carb craves another. Tina I'll do the Carb fast with you. ok, I'm cooking greens & black eyed peas, yummo. I know those peas are carbs but I'll just have a few for luck.

Heather - WTF??? Can't the fella drop you in the V on the way to the city and carry on without you?? hahahahahaha

Ummmm, no. I'll miss you all, but we're going to walk the golden gate tomorrow. He can't go on our date without me!

Pam- I've used billpay for a few years, and I love it! Most of my bills are transfered electronically, I think only my storage bill is sent via check. But the bank cuts and mails the check, no postage from me!

I just finished 40 minutes on my Wii (fit). I love the "Free step" feature, lets you watch tv while you step and the wii remote talks to you and keeps time (or stays quiet if you prefer that). Pretty cool. I'll probably get on the bike tonight too.

[swrktp 1]

How do you make the free step work Heather. That sounds good.................

Donna of course everyone is invited if we get a sacramento thing going. Just know that it is hard for some of use to get the Bay area with kids and families on the weekend..........:-) Same withe the bay area people coming to Sacramento so trying to plan something closer........

[momcof3 1]

I have room for two more people in my car if someone who lives in Sacramento wants to meet and ride with me and Maria. Riley - I will take the clothes that no one wants home with me tomorrow to take to the support group on Jan 23 if you want.

The movie was really cute - I had some popcorn with my kids, but all I had all day before that was one Protein Shake (160) calories. I had a tiny piece of ham and about 1/4 c sweet potatoes for dinner and 3 small Cookies for dinner at my parents' house.

Gotta call Maria to get directions to her house - see you gals tomorrow at the pier.

[tamra. 6]

I decided to explore my wonderful "On Demand" for Comcast tonight and I ended up doing :

20 min Cardio kick boxing

10 min Pilates Abs

10 min Pilates Legs/Butt

lemme tell you, my legs are killing me!! lord help me and not make my legs sore tomorrow!!!

How far is the walk we are doing tomorrow?

Hi Ladies and John,

Sorry I have been MIA - lots of things going on with family visiting etc.

I will be there tomorrow. Candra I can't wait to meet you in person finally. Riley, I sent you a PM about car pooling. I'm going to leave you a voice mail message too. Can't wait to see everyone.

I need support. These holidays have been hard. Last night I drank and had fattening appetizers and ate at least 6 chocolate chip Cookies. I can't wait for this tempting food to be gone and back to the regular routine on Monday. Love to all my SOS's. Hey, I'm in my count dow - 25 days to Surgery!!!
