Good morning..Happy Tuesday!!!

Where is everyone...sleeping???

I am ready for my surgery this afternoon...

I am here at work....I figured since I can't eat I should try to keep my mind off of food.  It is funny..I never think about food, but it is one of those things..if you can't have it, you want it.

Well, I better make this short...I have a big meeting this morning and a whole lot of work to get done since I will be out of the office for the rest of the week.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Hugs, Michele

Hugs to you Michele . . . hope all goes smoothly and quickly and you are feeling better fast!

I'm off to do community service today . . . its always a good feeling . . . I think the last 4 years we painted homes for half way houses, aids patients . . . and 2 floors at Father Joe's village downtown.  This year we are at the village again, but helping with resume writing and job interview skills, plus beautification stuff - crafts for the kids whose parents are in the seminars . . . for those of you that don't know Father Joe . . .he is the man for working with the homeless and has literally built a village  downtown and in properties throughout the area which are always in need of help.

Anyway . . . have a great day everyone . . .

Chris I wish more places would feel the need to do community service...it really is fullfilling. Have a great day!

GOOD MORNING CALI CREW!!! WAKE UP!!  Lets get those bodies moving!  Lol!! Its a beautiful morning. So none of this  or this .  Good morning starshines.... the earth says "Hello"!! I recieved terrific news yesterday, my consult with the surgeon is on Monday. I was given Dr. Zorn from Pacific. Hopefully I will have surgery by my birthday, July 24. Then I can celebrate both birthdays!!

Michele, I will be saying some prayers for you. I trust all will go well this afternoon.

I hope everyone has a great day! Take advantage of this beautiful weather! 

Hugs and friendship always,
 

That would be awesome if you could have a double birthday! I had my surgery 10 days before mine...I was as happy as a clam at high tide for sure. I know Rhonda is on her way to get yer arse to the gym...have a good workout!

I am soooo looking foward to this. We had a great workout, as usual. So when are we going to meet, ms. Janine? Have a fantastic day! And I missed you on the boards!

Hey Michele I wish you the best today.....ugh....now after you get through this...think the bod can give you a break? Hope all is well otherwise and that baby girl of yours is doing dandy!

Good Morning California. (as said by Robin Williams in "Vietnam") !

I had a weird moment last night after dinner and after I'd posted my eats for the day. I had a serving of sugar free cookies. Then a 100 calorie pack of oreo mini's. Then a sugar free peanut butter cup...still wanting more. I grabbed a container of reduced sugar frosting from the fridge (inspired by my husband's frosting and milk snack he was having). I realized, it's time for my aunt flo...damn it..it's gonna be a LONG week if this keeps up. Tell me it will not be like this all week! Please? 

The good thing is, it hasn't registered on the scale yet.

Otherwise, I'm feeling better today. Less depressed, more hopeful. It may be a better week.

Good morning Michelle and the cali crew.

I have been so busy at work and was waiting for someone to post.  I guess everyone is still asleep.  I know I wish I was.

Good luck this afternoon Michelle.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I was watching Jon & Kate plus 8 last night and it made me so sad.  I guess because I am a single mom, I know what Kate was feeling.  She said she was afraid to be alone.  I can so agree with her.  It was one of my main fears when I got divorced.  I saw a new side to Kate last night.  Divorce can be very humbling.  I called divorce the D word last night and my 12 year old asked me why I called it that and I told him it was a dirty word as far as I was concerned.  I told him it was hard for him to understand but just know that it was a hard thing for mom to go through and I don't really like that word.  I even cried last night while watching the show.  I knew exactly how she felt and it brought back bad memories that I have worked hard to shove away in a closet.  I just pray her kids make it through this ok.  You can see how much their dad loves them and wants to be there for them which is more than my ex has ever done for his.  He hasn't seen any of his children in over 6 years.  Oh well....I think I am babbling on this morning. 

Well....everyone have a good day and do something nice for yourself

Michele,

You are in my thoughts and prayers today for a speedy recovery. I know the pain that darn gallbladder can be.

Take care.

Hugs & Love,

Karen
