Happy Birthday Karla !!!!!

:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

Sorry is hasn't been a good day with that sad news.... Are any of your Kids coming over - Are you going to make yourself a nice dinner or go out ...

Brief outline of last nights post

Karri Hugs I thought 3/25 was a surgery date.. Well at least you can have some food for dinner and you aren't having to live totally on liquids.. Hugs...

Linda -WTG on shopping... Do you have Surgery date yet..

Phyl - Yep I love my house to myself - I love doing as I please - I have never had to report or explain what I spent my $$$ on - So at this age don't think I could or would ever be able to.. Only a couple days till Cabo -Enjoy..

Candice - Glad Peter liked your clothes ;0) and that you are back on track ;0)

Karla - Once the baby is born you will feel so much love for it - it will get better..

Didn't go to bootcamp last night due to the whole bending up and down - so tonite I went and walked the treadmill - haven't done that in almost 1 yr - I haven't been doing treadmill since I started boot camp 6/10

Well thought I would be super out of shape on it - well did 50 minutes burned 404 calories - had it on 6 incline @ 4 mph and then had it on 12 @ 3.5 mph - then 21 incline at 2.5 mph - and I am alive ..

Came home loaded dishwasher - vacuumed 3 rooms and started a load of wash...

Now gotta go feed the dogs ;0) - Tonite is Idol... ;0)

cbl

I posted last night - don't know what happen to it - hit add post then next thing I saw was that site was down - so I guess my Early Bday Wishes - weren't seen...

Good Morning Peeps..

Drive by - I'm at work - never got here this morning ... Stayed up too late last night 11 p.m. - watching Idol then voting :0) - voted for 4 - Scotty, Casey, Pia, Haley - My fav 4 - I like James too - Paul and Tia can go - Like Jacob too but can't stand to watch him perform - Stefano - I like him too but not as an Idol ;0)

Karla - only one kid called wtf - you know Joseph didn't call me on Mothers Day one yr - well he didn't get a call or anything for his birthday - if you can't at least call and leave a message - then I guess I don't have a son - it killed me that yr on his bday - but I'll be damn - I wasn't going to acknowledge him if he didn't acknowledge me as his Mother.. Shame on them...

Well Phyl by tomorrow at this time you will be leaving for Cabo - are you flying out of PS or Ontario??

Linda - How's it going - your 2 weeks are almost up - what day is surgery - I don't remember you giving us a date..

Candice - What's on your agenda today..

Well gotta jam - cbtonite :0)

Oh Karla, I am so sorry to hear about your GF`s husbands suicide; That is just devastating for her... but you are a good friend... and that is what she needs right now... good friends to lean on. If I can offer a tich of advise, please let her know that HIS killing himself was NOT about HER.... at all.... Each person on this earth is responsible for themselves... beit getting on a diet for themselves, seeking a Psych. eval for themselves... etc... This SUICIDE is on HIM.... I pray that you can help her understand that she is not quilty of this... It was HIS choice.... albeit a bad one, and one with terrible ramifications for those left behind. He was ILL and in need of prof. help... he obviously chose not to do this.

I feel so badly for her.... my Dad committed suicide... and for many years I thought it was my fault, or I should have done something, or I should have been a better daughter......after much analysing... I finally came to the conclusion that it was hil illness ... it had absolutley nothing to do with me... then I was able to forgive him... I pray that your friend makes it thru this not her fault.

My friend 'knows' it isn't her fault, but her heart is telling her otherwise. She started counceling immediately. But I am not sure that she will ever get the sound of the gun shot out of her head. I don't know that forgiveness is going to happen any time soon, especially when we know he did it to hurt her. I can understand and forgive someone who truely feels they can't deal with life any longer, but someone who commits suicide to hurt someone else, I just don't know. There is no doubt he was ill, but does illness make you want to hurt someone?

Janet, yeah I am hurt by my kids missing the birthday thing. Needless to say, food hasn't been good. I'm hurt. Elyse has actually called me twice today, emailed twice, and not once said Happy Birthday and you know that I am just too stubborn to say anything, no one to blame but myself. The others...well, they have their lives.

But homework is almost done, and spring break starts tomorrow at 3:30, SO all will be fine.

You all have a good evening.

TTFN

Okay... my post just went away! I am having trouble adjusting to this new computer. And it's VERY slow on the internet... sluggish would be a compliment! Don't know what's wrong, but this is just not acceptable and my new Outlook program won't send/recieve mail. Very annoying! May have to take it in to Best Buy when we get back and see if they can help me get this thing working right. My old computer is MuCH faster!

Fly out of P.S. @ 7 a.m. Neighbor, Ruthie is taking us to the airport, keeping Zoey and caring for candy. Earl has been taking Zoey over every day to try to make the adjustment easier. She loves Ruthie, but we'll see how she gets along with her three cats!!!

Will miss you all while I'm gone! Jim is bringing his laptop, so maybe we'll share internet time... $15 a day. Back late in the evening on the 9th, Earl's birthday!

Have a great day!!!

Darn cold one at work today, rained for most of it, but people were out and we sold a lot of trees, my favorite time of year!! Nice to come home and have a hot shower and tea, so laundry started, need to change the bed and then I can be a slug for a couple of hours after homework. Enjoy your movie!!

Morning ladies!! At least it isn't raining!!! Work today, then finish homework. I haven't hear from my friend since the funeral, I hope she is okay. Naturally I wish there was something I could do, but I know there isn't. I keep leaving her phone messages that she is strong and safe, hopefully it is the right thing. If you want to see a eagle nest with a newly hatch eaglet, hatched yesterday, go to : http://www.raptorresource.org/falcon_cams/ they now have two eaglets.

Anyway, Janet, hope you had a good evening with your friend. Oh I'm taking Elyse to her doc appt this week. Working on being supportive!

Morning! Working at the nursery, but is great not to be working at school, I am only working Monday, Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday, so I'll have a little down time to do some yard work!!! Can't wait.

Had a nice visit with my friend who's husband killed himself. She is doing okay. We avoided talking about the husband, but that is good. I was worried that I was being a pain, I called and left her messages everyday, but included that she didn't need to call back, just that I wanted her to know I was there. She let me know that it all helped and that she needs the support. We are going to meet for coffee on Tuesday.

Candice, where are you girl?

Janet, glad you had a good evening with your friend, yep she should have called home. But it is okay for the DH to worry a little.

See you all later! TTFN

      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? 🤷‍♀️
