Heyyyy Jes J! Good to 'see' you! What I am stillll on lessons from my learning curve, how life still goes on, and we still need to how to 'properly' handle our stress, and not with our exfriend called food! Tina, and city/cy workers, you are so on my mind, and YES, Jes, what about 'the children'? It is so scary now, and can't even think of them suffering more...don't get me started, I would enjoy a time with Tina sometime and just love those babies!!!!!

Reggie woman! When can do lunch again? Anyone this week?

On a lighter 'note'...anyone like Jazz? If you go to KSSJ website, on this Thursday eve @ 7:00 in the Fair Oaks Blvd. Borders, a sax player named Jessy J (Great sax player W. Tisdale called her that) will be giving a mini free concert! Anybody interested? Some late dinner after (or before?) Just thought it would be fun, not far from the Truxel (Natomas) area. Have a good nite!:smile2:

Hello Ladies!

I'm tired. But somehow I can't focus on my homework until after dark. (Sucks bad in the summer!) Anyway, tomorrow is my final, then I have next week off and then I start the next term. Woo hoo.

Tina, don't you wish there were some non-essential services the county could cut? I hate that the Sheriff's Dept got 10 million and it basically gets taken away from CPS. Really? We have to chose between safety for all and safety for kids? WTF? It makes me so flippin mad that this all boils down to greedy mortgage brokers lying on apps to get people into sub-prime loans they could never afford! All of this and we have to stress like crazy until we hear the final word on keeping jobs we love. Ugh. The most frusterating thing, The Sheriff's Dept applied for federal money and was turned down, Sac PD applied and got a bunch of money. SD has to lay off over 130 deputies, and additional non-sworn. PD gets to begin hiring again. How does this make sense?

I've been cutting my carbs. I never do full carb days. I cut them from at least one meal each day. I'm thinking the plateau is greatly caused by my stressing over school and my lack of excercise caused by my stressing over school. I have my final tomorrow so I didn't go to the gym tonight. I won't go to the gym tomorrow, and I just hope I'll have the will to get there on Wednesday!

I'm totally into reading all those weight loss memoirs. I check the reviews on Amazon first. One that I found was called "It was food vs Me and I won" or something like that. Well, the real-people reviews informed me that this woman's entire book about struggling with her weight was all over a measly 15 lbs. I hate that! Quit yer bitchin, go the gym and shut up! Really, a book about 15 lbs! The other one I hate was about a woman who was overweight her whole life. It was so embarassing for her, weighing 170 lbs. Seriously! Like, that's my goal weight people! Ugh. I think I need to find a WL book club or something. Any suggestions?

(Oh, and I just got Gut Feelings from the library tonight)

MOrning ladies.

Heading into work.

Heather I agree thet sub prime mortgages messed things up and I know a couple of people who got trapped in all of that mess. So glad I didn't try to buy inthe middle of all that. I thought about it.

I think that the problem with the whole country is greed. I think people at the top CEO's and even our own Board of Supervisors and are taking these huge bonus's and letting the companys and counties go down. ANd yep even the mortgage lenders............they are long gone withthe money!! Crazy stuff.

I am not sure it matters if the money goes to CPS or the Sheriffs ya know? I think either way there are huge problems. Sheriffs will probably have to start removing kids with us either way. I do know that CPS is really trying hard not to remove kids right now. They are trying to leave them inthe home to reduce the foster care budget. This is how it always goes when the budget is tight. Kids will die and than we will be all over the papers again. They will blame workers and supervisors and will forget to focus on how much money was cut and how many workers were laid off. Just the way it went last summer.

And I don't get why Sac Sheriff didn't get funds. THat would have helped us all out. I don't get it.

Did you notice that NONE of the sheriffs got funds?? It was all city PDs, not a single sheriff's department. What is up with THAT? They must not have been eligible to apply for some reason . . . .

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
