Shrinking Violets - Part 5!



Recommended Posts

Go Diego Go!! too cute! Carson will be watching that soon Laura!

Speaking of maternity, we had the biggest scare this month! My period was one week late and I'm never late. I'm always like clockwork! We are always extremely careful but one night last month we weren't so so much. So then ever since then I've been worrying and stressing about it and then on the day that my period was supposed to come and it didn't I freaked out even more.

We were just in agony over it. We want to start a family so bad but not like this. I didn't want to be 7 months preggo at my wedding! I finally took a pregnancy test, said it was negative and I was finally able to relax. Once I did I started the very next day, LOL. It was just all the stress!!!

Ok, PM me if you want to join the list. Unless you moved since Last Christmas, or did NOT participate last year, you don't need to send me your addy. Just send me some likes and dislikes that are relevant to someone who would buy you something.

Get this to me by Oct. 21, that is when I will send out SS picks!

Carson already watches certain cartoons, he likes em!

We watch Handy Manny, Special Agent Osso, New Mickey Mouse Club, Little Einsteins, and Imagination Movers.

They all have horrid songs that are in every dang episode that get stuck in my head. But when Carson wakes up at 5-6am, I put on Disney channel since they don't have commercials and we watch cartoons for a couple hours.

Working out can delay periods also. (gym workouts, not the kind you do in bed):thumbup::tt2::sneaky:

We had one episode of "snain" the other day.. raining and snowing, but nothing since. We've had snow in October before, but I'm hoping it holds off until December!! Wishful thinking on my part.

We've been Mid-60's-Mid-70's.. no sun in a while, lots of rain. I love it.

We go to his parents Horseshows this weekend in Decatur (about 20m from here). I love this rainy weather but it's going to suck for barn walking!!

Periods can be late for all kinds of reasons. And preg tests can not work until you're 6 weeks+.. and you can have periods while preg.. Learned all kinds of stuff in my pregnancy books :thumbup:

Can't wait for Haydee to get preggers. Perhaps, IF WE PLAN IT RIGHT, you and Laura can be/get preggers together!! (or at the same time I should say). I know I would love that!

Tired...boring long day...quick post...gonna read The Help before Sus comes home and we go out to Denny's for the fundraiser!

Haydee would have to wait about 2 years :w00t: Actually I guess 1.5... that's not bad.

So for Halloween I did so good, got goldfish bags & fruit Snacks in little bags... things I would not be tempted to open and eat.

But I get home from work and there's a bag on my door that says "BOO".. with a poem about how I've been Boo'd and.. its a bag of reese cups, kitkats, an a box of chocolates. It's from the mommy group I'm in, a secret santa but with candy........ Now I have to do 2 other people, but I don't know anyone's address??? I'm new to the group. In any event, it would be rude for me not to eat it... right?? I don't want to be rude :scared2:

Good morning, Violets...

Lazy, chilly day here today. No Ethan so we'll work out in the backyard and hopefully have it all ready for winter.

The flute performance went well last night except for being in a very low lit, chilly big room. The plus was the chocolate covered strawberries. I needed some fruit. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

One week from today, Laura!! Can't wait for you to be able to get back to your losing ways. Except for the strawberries, I've been doing very well on my eating. Just haven't been getting in the exercise like I did when the pool was open. I just can't seem to get motivated yet.

The Bobster got his new red, Dell laptop yesterday so he's a happy camper. I said to him last night.. you realize we are two people with 5 computers, right?? Ahhhh technology. You can see where our priorities lie.

I was very disappointed in Project Runway last night. The wrong person went home. Anybody else watch that show?

Off to find some Breakfast and play some Bejeweled on Facebook. Everyone have a great day. Will check in later.

Yikes... just checked Weather Bug and it's 29 degrees out. No wonder the furnace is running... and running... and running...

Good Friday Morn from Panera, Vi's~~

No school today (state teachers' convention)... but those crazy soccer coaches moved practice from the afternoon to 8:45am :scared2: so after dropping off DS, DD & I decided to hang out here 'til it's pickup time. She's reading a book, I'm noodling around on the Internet, sipping a ginsing honey tea... mmm... trying to be good!! It's bustling in here! I wonder if it's always like this on Friday mornings?

After we pick up DS, then it's off to the mall for some winter coat shopping -- always a good time! Then DD has her riding lesson. Another busy day!

Everyone make it a good day!

Good morning! I wish I was with Judy or with Michelle today. Anywhere other than here stuck at work...

Laura - I won't be waiting 1.5 years. We are actually hoping for a honeymoon baby. Wellll, we are actually going to start trying in May. I can't wait! I'm so excited!

Judy - I love Project Runway! Don't tell me who left. It's on my DVR for my late Sunday night ....... (okay, i just spent 5 min trying to figure out how to spell "winde down". I still can't do it. help!)

Ever have one of those Fridays where you already feel like the weekend is gone? It feels like that to me. Instead of just relishing today I'm already feeling like the weekend is just gone.

Well, we went to go meet with someone about designing our invites. Total cost was $1200.00 for 120 invites, envelopes, RSVP cards, maps ect... Juan said, NO WAY. So I start looking online this weekend...

I'm having a kolache this morning. So good! I hadn't had one in so long. Problem is...it's not getting stuck. Sighhhh. I need to go get another fill soon.

My shirt that I'm wearing today is a maternity shirt and I didn't even realize it when I bought it. Now that I know I feel like I look funny.

Lol, perhaps your subconsious is doing your shopping for you with the potential of a honeymoon baby. I have to say that I have known several people who had a late TOM while they were gearing up for their wedding. I think it is stress related, lol.

Well . . . last week I was 136 and today I am 140. It is TOM so I have a partial excuse . . . but I can't forget the Cookies, brownies, cakes, rigatoni to die for, chicken, etc., etc., etc. that surrounds time of grief (not to mention my propensity to eat emotionally during times of stress). I also stopped drinking Water and have replaced it with coffee . . . and a lot of espresso. I have the feeling I am not doing myself any favors here, I need to get back on the wagon.

However, I also have to accept that my band has been empty since January so I have made it through most of a year along with a pregnancy and am still at a semi reasonable weight. I get my first fill next week.

Thanks to everyone for their condolences. I really appreciate it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
