Good Monday Morning!

Happy Labor Day all!

As soon as I finish my coffee, we're off to get a new cell phone for one of my sons since his has finally died.  Then, I'm hoping, off to Black Star Canyon for a couple hours.

After that BBQ and relaxing. 

I hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning all!  I seriously think I have finally caught up with all my sleep.  My goodness I was burning it at both ends.  I can hardly wait until my hubby goes back to work and I have my evenings to myself.  I am going to make a big purchase for me here soon - a personal trainer and a gym membership.  I kinda need my evenings back to get my stuff done and get to bed early. 

Today brings us shopping for a couple of things Joe needs and hopefully buying the floor paint for the back room so we can get that started. 

Today I have one goal for me - no snacking.  I've been grazing on crap like crazy lately so today I start he NO SNACKING rule.  And if I have to have something it's either a string cheese or some jerkey.

Take your vitamins, drink your water and shake your booooo-tay!

Hi Maureen,

I've been on the snack train lately too.  It seems when I graze I'll put anything in my mouth, but when I have a meal, I care about what I eat.  I don't know why grazing takes me out of that mindset. I like how you made the goal for one day.  Whenever I think of something as FOREVER, I fail from the outset.  It's just too much to think of forever.

Good luck with your goal.  I have the same goal today and so far so good.

Take care

Morning Miss Lady Di and Cali crew!!!!!

Today brings counceling and then work for me. Work will be HE$$ACIOUS, last night was as well!!!!  Today brings the dinner buffet ALL day with no closing between lunch and dinner, OY  as if it isn't bad enough just normal. hee hee     I can't believe people wait for 5 hours for our buffet!!!! Yes, it is the BOMB, but even in my fat foodie days, I wouldn't have waited that long for food, even steak, prime rib, lobster and crab legs. 

have a great day everyone!!!! Can't wait for the fun of next weekend, OH parties ROCK!!!!!    

love and bigg huggs to all, Becky

Hummm, steak, prime rib, lobster and crap legs, sounds like a WL friendly buffet, I want some of each now, but just a little of each, and I will chew and enjoy every bite....wow...and I cannot wait till Sat.....yahhhoooo!

Good Morning!!

I've learned that I can handle about one outing a day before I have to come home and sleep for a few hours.  Yesterday my friend had brunch to celebrate her engagement with all of her bridesmaids... She's only been engaged 2 weeks and she's already planned out most of the wedding, she's quick!  I made it through half the meal and it just wore me out. I got tired and felt myself swelling out of my binder so I came home.

HOWEVER, I looked smokin' hot in a dress and heels....my hips and waist are so narrow!!

I am a really lucky girl to be recovering as well as I am and I owe it all to exercise. I know my body would not be bouncing back so fast if it were not for all the running and muscle I've built up while working with my trainer.....just a word of advice to those of you on the weight-loss journey.

Today the tias are coming over to visit me and have some lunch.  One of them I have not seen since I was pre-op WLS! I'm so excited for her to see me!!!

I better go get dolled up!

I spent the morning with my grandkids.  I didn't get to see them last week as I was sick.  I enjoyed playing with them.  I need to finish cleaning up my house as I did not get much done last week.  I started my clear fluid diet today and surgery Wed.  Tomorrow I will be in Fresno and Clovis most of the day for pre-op appointment with physician and pre-admission at the hospital.  I had to turn down a BBQ invite.  I just don't think I could stick to my clear fluid diet and go to a bbq.  Well I hope everyone has a great day today.

Diane I saw pictues of your house on your profile, it is beautiful.  Can you send the housekeeper up here to help me? 

Do you start your job tomorrow Barb?  I hope you have a great day.

Well thank you so much.  We bought this house because we knew my mom and dad would be living here.  It worked out great.  My mom and dad had a bedroom apiece and it was connected by the jack and jill bathroom, and our master bedroom is a huge master suite.  I know now why we have this huge room, I would be insane if I was stuck in a small room.  Also it is painted my favorite color, PURPLE!  Dougie don't care where he sleeps, as long as there is a bed and a TV!  My mom has since past, so now I have a really nice guest room, and we have an office downstairs so Dougie and I can both play games together.  You are welcome to come and stay anytime.  No need for paying for a hotel room, when you have all the comforts of one here, and we have a pool, sorry no Jucuzzi!  But you have your own tv with cable......  :-)

Diane:

My favorite color is purple too.  Harley asked me what color I want to paint our room when we get to Washington and I told him PURPLE!  He thinks I'm crazy, but I'm sure I'll get my way on this issue, one way or another.

Hey look at you....aren't you a pretty one!  SO good to see a face with the name!

woooohooooo

Hugs, Diane
