Crap, I just lost my post...argh!!! oh well probably too much drivel anyways.

Janet, I am so sorry you lost your Ipod... they are expensive huh? I just have a little MP3 player, about 30 songs on it... but I like those tunes for working out with.

Cleaning will burn calories too... so that will count as your workout o.k.???

Just got home from my DD's... SIL took me out for lunch to my FAVORITE place... for sashimi... oh it was SO good, and so lowin cals. but HIGH in protien, ummmm raw fish... I am so fussy with cooked fish, I'll only eat 3 or 4 kinds of fish, very picky... but when its RAW I just love it... it dosn't smell fishy and dosn't taste fishy...if that makes any sense!!

So food today 1100 cals... incl one snack.< /p>

Gott run and spend some quality doggie time now.

LADY'S YEARLY EXAM - Hilarious!

So I went to the doctor for my yearly physical to day.

The nurse started with certain basics.

"How much do you weigh?" she asked.

"135," I said.

The nurse put me on the scale. ~ Turns out my weight is 180.

The nurse asked, "Your height?"

"5 foot 4," I said.

The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5' 2".

hmph...

She then took my blood pressure and told me that it is very high.

"Of course it's high!" I screamed, 'When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"

She put me on Prozac.

What a bitch.

Got the Beck book, i didn't realize it was out of print. Barnes & noble had it on the Bargin Book section, $5, whowho. I have my test done, and my online discussions done, now all I have left is a unit. So I am caught up for a day or 2. dinner tonight...sad but true...popcorn, just didn't feel like eating. I'll probably eat something later, laughing cow or something.

Hi Everyone,

I just got the Beck book at Barnes and Noble too. I'm glad I went there instead of getting it online. It was in the bargains here too. 5.98, so I bought a book light too. I'm going read. Well right now I'm listening to my beautiful daughter bitch about where I put my coat like she owns the joint.

Janet- you think someone really took it, that's horrible! Too bad you don't have a self destruct button for it.

Happy to hear you are feeling better!!! That is great news.

Say howdee to Tracy for all of us... Enjoy your getaway. Oh I'd love to get to San Diego some day...

Today's activity: Walked Bridget, she heeled nicely YEAH!! Guess I'll just have to walk her alone until she's REALLY trained well.

TWIG and I and Bridget played outside on my backyard LUGE after the walk...OMGosh the snow is piled so high that the dogs have TRACED out runways all around the yard and from the bottom of the yard looking up.. it does look like a LUGE track LOL... they are so funny.

Then came inside and Vacuumed the whole upstairs, changed beds and washed all the floors!! So there, that's my exercise for today.. 1 1/2 hours of housecleaning... don't know how many cals that burned but it was GOOD for me.. and it looks so nice now.. oh yeah, scrubbed the 4 toilets too:thumbdown:

EDIT ITMINUTESCALOR IES BURNED Heavy Cleaning 90mins 554 Cals looked it up on Spark People.com

Good Morning (Late)

Been up since 5:45 - read the paper - got on the computer - cropped and printed various pictures - very time consuming - the kids got me this jewelry box for xmas that is a picture frame - so that's done and hung up - did some wash and that's about it. Getting ready to eat some green bean and read and watch t.v.

No Snow here - cloudy 69 degrees - I am still and pjs and not getting dressed - need to get nails done - took them off Thrusday - feels good without them but can't do some stuff and other stuff (typing) easier - but don't expect my spelling to change

Phyl glad you are feeling better - have fun..

Candice, look at all those lovely trees!!! I wish any house I find that I could afford had wall to wall trees. I love to listen to the wind through them and they are so cooling in the summer. Looks like the puppies are having fun.

Cleaned house for 3 hours, doing laundry, now I am sitting here ready to take a nap!!!! Check in later, TTFN

Well I wish that I could say that I was feeling better...but I know that it takes time for the pills to take ahold. Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life. I found out some things that are going on at work (Can't go into it here due to confidentiality reasons) but I'm not sure that I can continue to work there. No children are being hurt...just paperwork stuff that isn't exactly ethical. I'm going to confront my boss tomorrow. I will talk with him and think about my opportunities. I will tell him that I will give him my answer about staying after spring break. It is really hard because I have worked so hard to get where I am. I'm not sure I could start over at a new school in a system that I don't believe in. However, I can't be without insurance and Lee still has one year of student teaching before he can get a teaching job, so I need to buy one more year. If I do resign I will eventually go back to school to become a pharmacist, but I can't just quit without a plan. I HAVE to have insurance and right now it is tough to walk away from the payment/benefits package that I have. However, at the same time, I don't want to work for someone that I don't trust.

However, on a good note, I have lost 5 pounds! I have done very well with food, even if my exercise hasn't been going so great. I am giving myself credit for eating healthy though. The meds are actually making me not want to eat. I'm a little nauseous, but I am going to force myself to eat now. I haven't eaten in about 5 hours and my tummy is actually starting to growl.

I will chat later.

Hi Everyone,

Cloudy 65 degrees here, rain on the way.

Today, I cooked a pot of red Beans, some boudin, a half a ham, and some corn bread. That should hold em for a couple of days. I'm washing clothes, I did the treadmill for 30m, I need to do some homework, and I need to go see my Mom.

Phyl- glad you're feeling better :redface:

Kari- sorry you're not :redface:

Well Karla; I am glad yu= like the trees, come visit me in the fall andyou can help me rake them up LOL...

The doggies wore themselves out today (thank goodness) running and jumping in the snow, plus Bridget had a good walk too. Me in my thermal underware, hat, mitts, coat and boots... hey I must get extra credit for walking wearing all that stuff.. its heavy ya know?

Be patient with the meds they take a while to kick in, but they will. You hubby will notice the change in you before you think you feel better...:redface:

I totally understand about working for someone when you question their ethics... that's a tough one... but think of your NEEDS first... you need a paycheck, insurance etc... you staying dosn't mean that you CONDONE his ethics, you are just doing a job... for your livlihood. right???

Good job on the food front , 5 lbs is great!! WHOO -hoo...keep it up.. are you reading the book???

Hi! In Temecula. Fish tacos for lunch. Decided to self medicate! Sinuses hurt so, Sudafed, Aleve, Keflex leftover from last UTI!

Now Phyl, why don't you have a CURRENT Rx for your bug, didn't you see a doctor yet??? (shame, shame nursey)

Yeah Janet, I kind of crawled in a hole for the day. Cleaning, laundry, nap, etc. I just have a headache. I just want to quilt something....I hate not having my quilt room. Just looking at folded fabric, touching it,,,etc. is soothing. I do have some hand projects going, but my mind is just bubbling with ideas.

Started reading Beck's book. Haven't gotten very far, concentration sucks right now. Nothing tastes good, but that doesn't stop me from surfing.

Sometimes I just wonder what else can go one..ignore me, just whining. I know God only gives us what we can handle, but I hope He realizes I really can't handle any more. I really don't even want to go to work. But I need to save my days for when dad 'passes'.

I'll be heading back to work at the nursery in about 3 weeks. It will be odd to not be able to pick out plants for my own yard. There is no point spending money on flower beds and pots. Most of my beds have plenty of perenials, but I always like to add a few annuals, then there is the pots. But you can't really move planted pots, so unless things move soon, I won't have any pots this year, oh well.

      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.
