Good Morning Cali

Hey there - wow this is a late morning post for sure.....but Happy Saturday to all......Heres hoping everyone has a great weekend and to those of you (me included) that are participating in theLB Marathon/ 1/2 marathon and 5K walk - its almost here.  Hopefully the weather will be like it is this morning.....

Today for me is a day of play and shopping and make up and whatever tickles my fancy.  Last night was one big rollar coaster of a fun time....and I stayed up till 1am and I can not tellyouhow long its been since I stayed up that late.

I am not even going to attempt a shout out this am since I am not up on all the goings on the past few days.  But just let me say - to all those getting ready for surgery good luck to you and always remember all of us here on the cali board are here to answer questions and give support. 

I just have to add - this is the best place ever - and I have truly met some of the most awesome people ever right here on the Cali board.  To have made truly life long friends through OH I am so grateful.....

So thats it for me - everyone have a great day and let us know whats on  your agenda for the weekend...

Hugs to all.....

Good Morning California....and Lady Jean!!

Yes, it's LB Marathon weekend!! A special shout out to all those participating. I think I know a few people (OH and non-OH friends) entered in each event...its' going to be a really big day!

Your instructions for today are to REST! CONSERVE your energy!! Drink your water and get your protein like you always do, but if you're doing a long distance event like the full or the half you can have some carbs at dinner tonight...sounds crazy but its true, your body will need to burn that fuel in the morning. Oh and NO ALCOHOL tonight, you'll regret it later...trust me. :)

I picked up some cute running gear last night and I'm not afraid to say that I will probbly be one of the best-dressed athletes out there. :P Look for the hot chica in the infamous gold pants.

I'm excited to get back out there tomorrow, I want to run SO BAD!! I got the crazy-running bug from Kirsten. It's all her fault. ;)

Ok, everyone get out there and have a great Saturday, GO DODGERS!!

Hey girlfriend glad to know you are doing so well and getting back on the running thing.  I'm resting...so tell me when did you start to feel "normal" and not so tight, lol....

Girl, its been six weeks and I STILL feel tight.  Although now I can sneeze, laugh and cough without pain. I still can't lay flat on my back or stomach for very long....but its getting better.

Morning everyone!

We have a few errands to run today, including picking up our race packets.  I'm still coughing and feeling tired, but I'm going to do this run!  We'll see everyone at dinner tonight.

On a WOW note, my oldest son bought me a pair of hot pink scrubs in an Extra Small and they fit!! While I know sizing vary depending on the maker and I can't expect every Extra Small out there to fit me, at the very least I'm in size small now.  

Have a great weekend California!

Good Afternoon Jean and Cali Friends,

I guess it's better late than never.  We had a little excitement in the middle of the night...

Ron's Dad went to the restroom and was too weak to make it back to bed, so his Mom called the paramedics.  He will be admitted to the hospital for observation and extreme weakness.  Initially they thought pneumonia but now it looks like weakness.  So Ron's Mom called us at 3a.m. and then we went to the hospital around 9 a.m.  Then we went to WLS support group meeting, so it's been a crazy morning.

I hope everyone who is running, walking or dining tonight has a great one and I'll be there in spirti!

Hugs,
Barb

Hey GF....I'm here for you!  Call me if you need a shoulder to cry on or vent on!   May not have words of great wisdom but I got big ears to listen with!  My heart goes out to you, Ron, Isla and Bert.  But remember to take care of yourself!  I know you....you will be there for everybody else...but you gotta come first!
