Hey, some of us have to work your know :rolleyes2:

Candice, penny rugs are easy! You can buy pre-felted wool, but it is pricey. Basically you cut circles out of felted wool, stack them up, and blanket stitch around them either by hand or machine. Then blanket stitch the stack to a foundation of wool. I will get some website addresses together and post them for you. Because I'm poor, I am going to use old wool clothing. Basically I'll deconstruct the clothing, wash the wool in warm to hot Water, then rinse in cold. The temperature change causes it to 'felt'. Then I'm going to play with 'acid' dyes from Dharma to over-dye some of them into the colors i like.

food was good today, not as good as Janet. I stepped on the scale and I am in a holding pattern, I'll take that!!! Now I'm going to move onto loosing again. As many bad choices I made, holding is 'damn' good. AND LUCKY. But it is time to get back into the groove. this time of year is always my 'crawl in a hole' time. So I'm sitting under my full-spectrum light. I just need to make it until March when I start working at the nursery again.

Going to go search for the websites, I'll be back! TTFN

Yep some of us work lol - even me who am on lbt too much during working hours - some days I have to work and not surf the net ;0l lol..

Phyl had a red hat lunch today - I saw on FB - so I guess she's feeling better..

Karla

Darhma (sp) like in Lost or Darmah and Greg lol...

I think I would do well w/o sun - but I don't know my DIL who is like me (grew up w/it 24/7) says she misses it - I know my DS loves the rain - it's something we don't get much of..

Well, I am off to the gym - legs tonite - haven't had prework out snack - so have 100 cal to spend tonite :0)...

So what does your Dr. Chilsom charge for a face lift? What about for a TT? Ah Phyl, it does sound like the FLU, take care sweetie!!! If you are throwng up and diarhea it might be the H1N1 so be careful:tt1:
Good Morning Gang

Phyl - Hope you are feeling better this morning...

Candice - I am not sure on Dr Chilsom prices $8 or $9 k I think - he only does faces - a specialty kind of doc which I perfer - that's all he does so he has perfected his art.

Karla - gf ya how would you be my nurse when you would be out exploring the rain forest lol :rolleyes2: Like that rug - sorry but I don't have wool - not much need for it here in the Desert :0) - doesn't get that cold :0)

Hobbies are good - keeping hand busy is great - too bad my hobby is reading - i love to eat and read - now it's popcorn instead of candy..

Last night started Tami Hoag new book - it's good..

I made a FABULOUS dinner - sprayed pan with a little butter pam - sauted cut up scallops with some garlic till almost done - then added 2 tblespn can't believe its not butter - add cooked shrimp and heated - added 1 oz of habenero cheese stirred till melted put it over 1/2 c rice - OMW to die for.. It was enough for 2 nights - I immediately put the other half up cuz I would have eaten it all..

Got up this morning did 30 min on my Wii - Love the skate boarding game & bicycling on the Wii Fit Plus.. I looked for a platform for the board that you use when doing the step exercise - they were selling it on QVC this weekend - but it was bundled with the whole balance board etc which I already have..

Well that's about it - nothing exciting - I am the only team member of my team here at work today - hopefully the phones will be quite..CBL

May try to get back on my Wii. The more you talk about it the more I want to start using it again. Use it at home a lot, but in the RV there's just not much room, and the TV screen is so much smaller!

Reading a Nora Roberts book... Blue Smoke. I don't think I've ever read one of her books before... very good. Also have an audio book... listened in the car coming home last week, and when I volunteer in the activities office Wed. afternoon. Tortilla Curtain... it's a pretty good story, too. OH... and today I went and got a Riverside County Library card so I can download audio books!

Feeling MUCH better tonight. Decided to go to Water aerobics this morning even though I still felt yucky... bad headache up the back of my neck. Almost quit after first 15 minutes, but kept on going. Then decided I'd quit at the halfway point. Then decided... oh, what the heck.. may as well just stay until it's over. So I did.. Aggravated the headache a little, but relaxing in the hot tub for 1/2 hr helped a lot. Then went to Red Hat lunch. Still had headache when I got home, but not bad. It did feel Great when I sat down on the couch and put up my feet for the first time since this morning. Didn't realize how tired I was. Then a couple of Ibuprofen and the headache finally went away!! Yippee!! Still feel kind of worn out, but so much better than yesterday and this morning!!

BEAUTIFUL sunset out my window right now!!

Should go out and take a picture!!

Phew...I survived the day in tact and even better...without eating a single piece of non-planned food!!!! I stayed on plan all day. We are having baked macaroni and cheese for dinner....though most of the "macaroni" is cauliflower!

I'm starving and exhausted...for me those words can be used interchangeably! Work went pretty well. I staved off most of the painful hugs and had a nice conversation with my boss. He called the pompous English teacher a moron and said that everyone was going to get a dose of reality in the morning at our staff meeting. I told him I was very happy to see that he had "grown a pair" over break. Before you have a heart attack that I said that to my boss...I've said it several times before. :rolleyes2: This is our 3rd school and 4th year together!

Well I am exhausted so I'm going to lie down until dinner is ready. Then we are going to the gym. I don't know how far I will be able to go, but I want to go tonight.

Chat later

Phyl - Glad you are feeling better !!! Nora Roberts is good I have read most of her books - Blue Smoke was good - It's a movie on lifetime - lifetime has lots of her books made into tv movies - I LOVED the trilogy about 3 sister that were witches (good ones)- 3 Sister trilogy - I loved it - Really Really enjoy that trilogy -

http://www.noraroberts.com/books/trilogies.html

I also loved Carolina Moon - I have read so many I have to read the bio to see what it's about - I lose track and hate when I buy a book I have already read -

She also writes under the name JD Robb but those are sifi books and I don't like si-fi

That's an idea - go to the library to down load books - can you listen to them 1st - I might do that sometime... I think I can download to my ipod..

That's the reason on got back on my Wii - alot of pple got them for Xmas - and all the talk made me want to get back on it... It is fun - Not super exercise - it takes a long time on the wii to burn 200 cal like an hour - whereas I can burn 500 on the treadmill - but hell 200 x 4 is 800 more than sitting on my butt :0)

dinner was a bust.. had pork loin/beans/rice, stuck. I am out of yogurt, so tried a casadeea, stuck, ended up with popcorn and a piece of bread. NOT good choices. So tomorrow is a new day, and I'll make sure that my backup meal is in place if needed.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      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 🙏❤️

      1. NickelChip

        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!

    • BeanitoDiego

      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.
