Good Thursday Morning Cali

Happy Thursday Morning to all of you!!! Yep only one more day until Friday...are we all looking forward to it? Oh yeah you bet!!!!!

The WWW was awesome this week and I am looking forward to seeing what the numbers our Miss Chris!!! LOL Very little weight gain this week...seems that everyone who did post were on the downside once again. I am loving it!

Prizes go out to all of you!!!

BTW Chris the scale is and is not our friends sometimes and your scale seemed to be like okay I will be your friend a little, but not that much! Still it moved in the right direction!

Jenn  you are definitely working that pouch girl!!! Are you taking your vitamins religiously?

Jeni and you working that band...I think you are doing awesome and really pay attention to your body knowing you needed to be unfilled a bit. And what is this about a birthday and you did not tell anyone???? OMG not good girl...we are going to have go up there and sit on you and torture you! LOL I hope that Dennis gets to feeling better soon too....I still sound like menthol marge with the cough this stuff left me. Hunter thinks it is funny that we cough alike!

Monica I sure hope you do not get the whack pink slip on Friday either....I know scary times, but you will have another door opened. One of the good positions you are in is being special education...that helps a lot in terms of holding on to your job. You know I am praying they see fit with you.

Dang Michele...you go girl!!! And a referral to the PS? OMG do you just think is this all happening? I cannot believe it has only been a year since you have had surgery. You are doing so GREAT!

Jeannie Beanie...where art thou??? I hope all is doing okay and you are just too busy to grace us with your beautiful presence/

Diane...is everything okay with you too? I miss you and hope to see you soon!

LuLu was super good to see you post....yeah would you turn on the computer there girl and let us all know how you are doing once and a while...I had to ask someone if you were!

Rhonda...I know you are wanting to post about your baby Seany....OMG you guys...he is one smart little guy and for any of you who know her son, Sean....could not be a more sweet and loving little man!

Barb....OMG this is the first time I am seeing your new avatar....you look AMAZING...I am going like who is this new gal on the boards because I would NOT have recognized you without your name!!! Congratulations and keep up all the hard work!!! WOW WOW WOW! Any news on job also?

Karen....you did great this week...you go girl...and I can just imagine how hard it is to plan a wedding. I am glad I had boys and did not have to do too much....but then again...oh nevermind LOL Keep up the great work and if you get to visit with Nikki...give her a big ole hug from me! I am on grandma duty so I will not be able to be there.

Nikki.....did you read that? I hope you are doing better from your accident. Scars bad?

Lisa do not worry about the weight gain....you know what you have to do to get the scale going in the other directions. Get on the 5dpt and see how the weight will start to go in the other direction again and move your body girl!

Christine I hope today finds you in a better mood...are you by any chance a moon child? I hear you about not wanting to be in the best of moods with the weather...we are so spoiled living here in SoCal with the fine weather. Hell I spent the day yesterday in shorts and a t-shirt working outside and it was marvelous...my tan is already looking good for this time of the year!

KimS...dom't fret about feeling this way....our minds play powerful games for sure...and let me tell you if you stick to that pouch diet....your weight will fly off. From the original time I started with it, I still to this day have never gone back to eating complex carbs in the white form and that has been over a year now. Oh btw....I bet the girls are loving being snug as a bug in a smaller bra!

Sue...how is your hubby doing. I just so feel for him. I know how he suffers and surely is no fun...it just wears you out and tears you down. How is the beautiful Miss Sammi too? Birthday bells and whistles will be singing soon to her!

Lisa aka Carmel you are doing amazing!!! I think it is so cool that you tool is rockin your bod!

Joy you little thang!!! Out of the 170's....isn't it amazing???? I am so happy for you! When are you going to VA....I lost a lot of info from being sick!

Nancy aka Sunray....I am sure you surgeon is going to be super duper happy with you gf! 3 pounds this week and you have not had surgery. He is going to know for sure that you are committed to your new way of life! I am so happy for you!

Ms. Shells....dang girl you are wilting away....or should I say melting? OMG that is just fantastic. Can't say more than that Kim....FANTASTIC....now this next Halloween you will put those Dallas Cowboy girls to shame!

Kim aka Puddin....you know we are all pulling for you gf....you will not hit that mark....it was hard I am sure to be honest with yourself and posting what you did....I am proud of you for that because we all know by not saying is like being in denial. You will get yourself back on track and for sure we are all here for you to support those efforts. I am confident you will get tha****ch and those shoes and and and and...starting literally jogging your ass off LOL...okay not that I noticed you had one, but you know what I mean!

Oh Stevo....you came out of hiding and I am glad you had a good dinner with your family. We do know you had to do what you have to do....like I said and all of us mean this...we love you!

Sweeny...that is awesome more so about the way you feel.....happy surgeriversary to you.....it is amazing what this pouch does for us...and sometimes I think about how it not only helps with the health but that key of how much better we feel about ourselves on so many levels. Congratulations!

LeAnn....I think you take the prize on wl this week....5.5 pounds...dang you go girl....you are doing super fantastic....I am glad you posted to do another 5 day thing...really pays off eh?

Oh wait a mintue....Rebecca lost 6!! Yeeeeeeeeeee ha.....hope you are doing it the healthy way like you said Rebecca....hate to see you getting sick again! That was awful what you went through.

Paula...you think you didn't do enough? I am sorry....but 4 pounds is wicked awesome! Keep up the great work for sure!

Linda....a pound is good for sure and all that you have been through...OMG that was horrendous for sure. I am glad you have such a good attitude about it all. I do not know if I could have ever stayed so bright about it all. You are looking fantastic and love your new avatar.

Kim they say TV puts on 10lbs not 20.....but I think the chair made you look fat LOL...only kidding...don't let the desert wind blow you a way...think you need to put an anchor on those slides so you blow away!

Naomi....how are you doing? I have not seen you around lately either. I hope you are doing okay. Is the moral at your school low right now?

Liz....are you feeling okay. I think you posted something recently that you were not feeling too well. I hope that whatever it was it is gone and that you are feeling okay now....get out on that bike this weekend as I think that it is going to be a beaut this weekend. I know we're expecting the 80's and next week 90+ record breaking heat!

Marcy....how are you doing also? I do not think that I have seen you on the boards much since your surgery. I hope that means that you are doing fine and just out there doing it.

Katt....I see you are back around again....hope all is well with you.

Catt the bay area stealth poster....hope things are settling down for you. Are you still in training. Did you hear well of course I am sure you did hear it about that fool who is sniper shooting on the freeways up there...YIKEs scary stuff.

Well anywho....that is about all I can think of this early in the morning.

I thought I would sleep sleep after being so tired from working outside all day long. My back is off the hook bad too...when I am sick, I lay around...counter productive for my back...it will hurt from laying too much, then I jarred it the other day trying to open one of my classroom doors....and yesterday standing on cement all day long...and yes I did wear supportive shoes...no heels or boots...I was practically in tears when I got home yesterday.

The installation of the tiles of my students and former students are going slow. I wish I got more done yesterday although Jeff said I got a lot done. I am really bummed about how many tiles are broken because I have taken such good care of them but as soon as I put in them in an area where others could riffel through them...I have about 20 tiles that are broken. Oh they still can be installed, but it is not the same. This is the 4th student based work I have done....and the most every broken. The installation looks weird right now, but I am not worried about it because I have the vision in my head. I have never been asked more dumb questions by the staff no less than I have ever heard. It was nerve racking for me also because as I said to Jeff and a friend yesterday that I felt like a caged animal on display with all the kids and staff around. I will post pics soon.

Also...thank you to all of you who care about us teachers.....and it is not just us teachers...it is all the supporting staff. We could not do what we do without them either. I feel just as bad for them who might lose their postions. It is really degrading and demeaning to everyone who is going this hard times.

Well I hope you all have a super terrific day...I am going to go and lay down until my alarm spouts off at 4!!!

 

PEACE OUT!!!!  

 

 

Good Morning Janine & Everyone,
Sorry I havent been around or reading much. Just posting the lunch info. Things have been **** at work. We had a wonderful meeting at 6:00am Monday with the heads of medical telling us we have to cut 22 million from medicals budget alone. How basically none of our jobs are safe and me being low man on the totum pole I am the most likey to get screwed. Of course we are one LVN short anyways so I am telling myself they wont cut a position at the jail I work at, but hell all the heads think of is $$$$. Not to mention having "cultural issues" with people at work. I am far from prejudice, but sometimes it really sucks to be the only white person on my shift. I also think if you are going to live & work in the US you should kinda try to be a little American outside of the home. So we had a meeting to resolve everything and it is hard trying to be heard when you are being told how wrong you are and everyone is talking at you, because you are the only non Filipina. Hell whatever, if it doesnt blow over with them I am going to have to ask for a transfer. I am so over it, not worth my energy.
As for my scar it is healing just really slow. My nose is still sore and swollen, but the Docs at work have look at it and its just bruised & swollen.
Thank Goodness today is my Friday, but I only have one day off then work the weekend, short handed of course, lol. They may cut a LVN though, no brains!!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!! Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!

Good Morning Janine and Calif friends!

Happy Thursday!!!  Great Shout out Janine!  And thanks!  Yes, tomorrow is the big 48 for me!  lol  Just a number right????  Birthdays are a very emotional time for me.  Today is the anniversary of my Father's passing......  No matter how long ago I still miss my "Dad"  and I miss him terribly.  I know he would be proud of me though and my husband.  I remember last year on my birthday my surgeon's office called me at work and told me I had been denied for weight loss surgery.  Happy Birthday to me!  I cried like a baby.......My co-workers had gotten me a cake and here I was all sobby....   I know they were thinking, "what a strange lady!"  lol  ok, that's besides the point!  hehehehe

This year is a New Year!!!  yippee!!!

I gotta get to work but you all have a great day!   Janine, take it easy ok???  I know back pain and it's the total pits!

Nikki, hang in there girl!!!  I hope things get better.

Jeni

 

 

You  little spring chicken there Jeni!!! OMG you are still soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo young! I wish I was still in my 40's! You will look back and say I wish I was......

I know what you mean about your dad...and yes he would be very proud of you. Mine never lived long enough either.

You know Jeni...I have always hated my birthday and I want to leave you with this...my son said to me last year before mine...Mom you have to stop this about your birthday and yeah you have some bad memories, but is now and in the present. I really listened to him and last year it was a great birthday because I decided that at 54 at the time, I deserved to celebrate.

Think about it Jeni...all the saddness in the world will not bring your dad back and your dad would want you to celebrate because you know he did when you were born. Your dad is there in spirit.

Have a great day my friend  

Oh Janine, you brought tears to my eyes.............

i know what you are saying and I will try real hard.

thanks so much!

Jeni

Dear Jeni,

Happy 48th to you!  You young thing, you.  Tomorrow is mine as well, and yes, it's just a number...just wish mine was a smaller number, lol! 

I know that this is an emotional time for you but try to remember that it was a very happy day for your dad when you came into his life.  Rejoice in that.  I hope you have a great day tomorrow.

*hugs*

~Naomi

Hey Jeni...just in case I don't get on the puter from work first thing tomorrow, want to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! for tomorrow ^_^  As my husband keeps telling...birthdays are just another way to keep us YOUNG!  Remember how much fun our adolescent birthday parties were??  Huh?   I know you miss your dad...but play it one day at a time, feel the feelings and remember the love you got from him....he obviously was a GREAT DAD~ Hugs to you
Nancy aka Sunray

Janine and crew, Yeah I had a touch of the tummy thing that was going around and now I have the cold too. I am hoping to feel a bit better and get out and ride this weekend.  We tried last weekend but my Chuckie got 2 flats and I one.  Sucked,
I feel for everyone who are facing these massive budget cuts.  I have been affected as well as Chuck.  He works for the State and he has lost over 500 a month.  At least he has a job.  A friend of mine her hubby is in sales and he got laid off and they have lost 5000 per month.  I say no matter how bad your job is at least we still have one.  I am worried about my friend and that huge loss. They were supposed to come out with us last saturday but they bailed which is understandable.  I hope you all have a great day
Liz
