IT IS WEDNESDAY!!!!

Congrats on the 100 lbs loss! I must say you are looking fanstastic! Wish I could join you this weekend for the camping trip, but I believe that would be too much too soon after surgery. Enjoy yourself, enjoy meeting new and old friends. You should be so proud of your acomplishment! Whoo-hoo!! Just for you here is a happy dance:  Way to go!!

Hugs, love, & friendship,

Oh Javi that is just wonderful!  100lbs. You should be so proud.  I am going to try to make it up there on Sunday a.m. to do some hiking.  I just got to figure out where you guys are!  lol.   I think by the main entrance and to the left?  Well I somehow will find you all.   But I am so proud 100lbs in 5 months!  That is just amazing.  You go Guy!

Take Care,

Rhonda

Good Morning Jillie and Cali,

Great shout out but you always were the bomb when it comes to them.  Well this morning find me down 5lbs.  I am thrilled about this because I dropped alot when I came home from the hospital really fast (21lbs in a week).  Then as I got better put most of it back on which was fine.  So to have stabled and started losing the right way again is cool.  I hope it continues as I gave myself a goal for the summer.

Jordyn still has a fever so I am going to take her to the doc today.  Going to call as soon as they open and get someone to see my poor lil baby girl.  She turned 17 months yesterday.  I can't believe it.

Everyone enjoy the day

Good morning all,

Had a real rough night as I couldnt sleep on my back with all those stupid stiches on my back. Dont feel like I have slept at all....

Giane, I wish you all the best with your surgery tomorrow and you are in our thoughts and prayers. Ley us knw if you want visitors while you arte in the hospital and we will come down and try to cheer ya up LOL.

I think I finally hit a temporary stopping point........The scale didnt move for me this week which I am so shocked about since I am so swollen from water retention in my legs and ankles and hands. Must be the heat or I got a hold of salt in something. But I am glad to stop for a week or two to let my body catch up.

Have a great day all...........Rick

Good morning everyone...

thanks, jillie, for your sweet words to me... i will have to get a pic for you w/o the shades... just needed one with a hat to fit in with the hat peer pressure, LOL....

no bigee here today... dogs going to groomers... a little bible study that meets here on wednesdays (a fun group...six of us friends)... and, let's see, the housewrecker, i mean construction guys are taking a day off from me to rescue someone else...

Have a great day everyone! God bless you...

Lori

YEAH!!! It's all downhill from here....I'm so freak'n glad it's Wednesday and we're closer to the weekend!  I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Oh, and about the jump?  Yes I'll do it....Of course!

Good morning chickie...Here I sit at work.  Another long, hard day ahead of me.  Oh man, why oh why couldn't I have been born into a family with lots of money as opposed to the dysfunctional mess I was blessed with growing up in.  See, I just couldn't win.

As for America's Got Talent, I have to agree.  I don't see the thrill of the chicken catching country singer.  I didn't really care for him the first time I saw him and I care less now.  Last night my favorites were the 14 year old singer (what an amazing voice for a kid so young) and the acapella (sp) group, Mosaic.  Should be interesting to see what happens as some of the really big talent wasn't shown last night.

You are correct.  In a couple of weeks I am going on a mission to save souls.  My partner in this mission has promised to be right there with me all along and together we are two women on a quest to change lives.  OK, so we plan on being drunk and disorderly.  Keep your cell phone handy in case we need someone to bail us out.  I'm thinking Mike would just disconnect the phone, leave us there and laugh his ass off. How does that song go, Got to love that man of mine.  Yea, ok, maybe....maybe not.  OK, I love him.  But just in case we get into trouble, please be available. 

As to the infamous WWW, well I could report something today, but I'll wait until next week.  I have been really doing my best to get back to basics and so far so good.  I do have a weight loss, but it's not a full week so I will give my total next week.  I am going to take off this weight I gained no matter what.  I'm committed to it.  Or maybe I just need to be committed.  I'm not sure.  What I am sure of is that this was much easier 5 years ago after surgery.  Darn, if I could just feel like I did back then.  No hunger, no cravings.  Forcing myself to get my protein in.  Ahhhh the good old days. 

Newbies remember these feelings.  It really gets hard after a few years.  It takes work and if you let your guard down, well poof, you put on weight.  And if you put your head in the sand like I did, you put on alot of weight.  Had I taken control at 5, 10 or even 20 pounds I wouldn't be at the 70 pound gain I accumulated in the last 2 years. Granted I'm still down about 180 pounds from my all time high, but there is no excuse for falling backwards. I altered my insides to finally beat the monster that was on my shoulder my entire life and then I just let him perch there again and try to take me down that glutonous highway.  He may have succeeded for a while, but I'm back in control now.

OK, I must stop this rambling and get to work.  You have a great day, Jillie and all of cali and remember do something wonderful for yourself.
