Yea . . . it's Thurday Cali!

Morning all . . . we had a pretty good week/month again!  We lost a total of 38.5 for the week . . . and 273.1 for the month!  WEIGHT TO 
GO!!!

My thoughts are with all of you facing big obstacles with loved ones and illnesses . . . hugs to you!

I bit the bullet yesterday and bought a monthly parking pass for work . . .it's double the cost of the trolley . . . but they take it out of my check pretax twice a month, so it won't be quite so noticeable.

Have a good one everybody . . . I just know Janine will have posted before I hit this button!

Good Morning Chris and Cali Guys and Gals!

Let's see today my sister and brother in Law arrive.  I really enjoy them.  He a pastor and travels all over the world speaking.  HE is going to Pepperdine next week and speaking at some big thing they have every year.  He just got back from Africa, Phillipines, Japan, China, all over the darn place speaking.  He is kind of a Mucky Mucky of Pastors.  But it is fun when they come as they know we are very spiritual people and we have some great discussions.  Ron marries all the people in our family who get married it is really awesome.  He babtized my son last year when he was here.  That was really cool.  They also get to let their hair down at our home as they know what happens here stays here on vacation.  That is a good thing.  I have their room all set up and waiting for them, with flowers and candy and fresh linens and little soaps and shampoos and litte treats everywhere you look.  Their room looks like a high class B&B now!  lol  It is actually my oldest son's room cleaned up!  ROFL  We will play games and be silly when they are here.  I spent most of yesterday making all their favorite foods, it was fun.  I won't be able to eat anything I made for them, but I had a great time making it.  lol  So if you all don't see me around the next few days don't worry I am just enjoying my family.  I am taking reservations for the guest room this summer.  Momo has it booked the last weekend in May.  Any other takers?

Nah didn't post gf!!! I was sleeping for a change! LOL

 

I am glad you went and bought a parking pass and are not taking the trolley to work....I am concerned because our feeder high school has been shut down for a week to disinfect because a 17 year old girl at the school has been diagnosed with it. What concerns me if she has siblings at our school. We will know today I am sure!

I have to put this out here because Monica W busted my chops which I am super grateful for.....but she noticed that I have not been posting numbers and been down on myself. Yes I am and I am struggling really bad again. I am not into the white carbs, but I was partying too much with my friend who comes back here from Scotland every 6 months or so....I was on a tear of partying and it has made my 8's tight and I feel really down on myself. I am not willing to weigh today.....what I am willing to do is write my food down, stop grazing and I have not been partying.

I know it is one day at a time with my food, not grazing and all that stuff....and I just need to get my act together. I know also I am nervous with having surgery next Friday. I never thought that I would be on the operating table again....I am more scared than ever.

I am not using anything as an excuse....my only excuse is that I am not perfect and I fall and sometimes hard, but at least I am willing to get back up on my feet and do sFomething about where as prior to surgery I would just say "F" it and get fatter. Those days are gone!!!!

Thanks for letting me put it out there and thanks to all of you who continue to support me in spite of me!!!

PEACE OUT!!!  

Oh my friend . . . no one is perfect . . . ESPECIALLY me . . . you know what you have to do, and you actually do it . . . so you're going to be fine!  And as for surgery next week . . . you'll bounce back from that with flying colors!  Hang in there . . . and pick up that chin and flash that pretty smile!

Hugs
Chris

 Janine,
that flu is scarey!! Hopefully she doesnt have any siblings at your school! and im sorry your feeling down lately, but you are so awsome I know you will get back into the swing of things...everybody falls of the wagon once in a while. I hope you have a good day today!
Robin

Well, Lady...about time you let us support and encourage you for a change!!  You are such an inspiration to all of us.  AND like the rest of us, you are HUMAN!!  So pick yourself up, dust off the 'downers' and do what ya gotta do..you know the way and the how ^_^  What I love about this forum and group of people, we are allowed to be who we are, all the highs and the lows....you are an awesome and special person....your are NOT your emotions!  I am confident you will come thru surgery next Friday with flying colors....and if recovery is a little rocky? Come back here...your friends will hold you up until you can stand on your own again!
Thinking of you today

Hi Chris and Cali,

I can't believe this month is coming to an end.  Where is the year going??  I am still trying to play catch up from being gone a few days-ugh!!   Trying to decide if I want to take the vacation I have schedule next month.  The surgery coordinator has not called and she said it could be June or July.  I was hoping for a cancel in May, but looks like I will have surgery sometime in the summer.  Oh well, I have waited this long I can wait a little longer. 

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning Chris and Cali,

Ehat a great total for the month.  I definitely plan to add my few lbs to next month.  Glad you got your pass and I hope all stay well in your area and all of ours.

I'm preparing myself for the day from hell.  My child woke up at 2:30am and has yet to go back to sleep.  On top of that it is open house so I have to be at wor****il 7pm UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH.  I love being a mom.

Everyone enjoy the day

Monica

Good morning everyone.

Janel, good luck with your surgery.  Hope all goes well. 

I am also doing the "pick yourself up" thing with food.  Frustrating, but I've done it enough times that I know I can do it again.  I'm pretty sure it will be a lifelong struggle for me.  But that is okay, because by now I know I CAN and WILL get things back in order.  Giving up is not an option.

Monica, I don't envy you the sleepless night and long day ahead.  That's one of the things I don't miss now that my children are teens and young adults.

I really want to attend the IE lunch this weekend, but it appears my family is making plans that would preclude it.  I think I need to make my post-surgical support more of a priority.  I'm still trying to work things out so that I can go.

Lost one more pound of regain this week.  I am determined to lose all of it, and then venture into virgin weight loss territory.  I'm kind of excited to see where I can go with this.

Wishing you all a great day.
