Good Morning Cali Friends - Happy Thanksgiving Eve

Good Morning Cali Friends,

I see no morning post yet, so I thought I would just say good morning and Happy Thanksgiving Eve.  It's also wacky weigh in Wednesday, so don't forget to post those lbs lost or gained, we're trying to break our record weight loss this year.  Either Chris (if she has her 'puter back up and running) or I will track the group loss and report tomorrow.

So what are your plans for Thankgiving? Are you cooking, joining, watching a movie?  How about the day after, are you crazy like me and get out among the crowds?  My friend Linda and I have done "shop til you drop day" for the past 7 years.  We love it.

Well, whatever you do, I wish you a wonderful, joyful and memorable Thanksgiving day filled with whatever makes you happy.

Hugs,
Barb

Morning Miss Barb . . . and happy Turkey Eve to you too!  My puter is up . . . so it's up to you who should track . .. you did all the recovery work!  If you like, I will do it through the end of the year . . . but then I think it is definitely time for me to pass the reigns somewhere!  Let me know . . . I also can't remember if you sent the file back to me (brain dead here . . . ) . . . so if I'm doing it, would you send it again?

I'm going to say I'm down 1 finally . .. been see-sawing forever . . . but got good and stuck the other day . . . so been on liquids . . . hummm . . . that has it's benefits!

Yesterday was the day from hell . . . seems the ex-semi-SO just found the email I sent him nearly 3 weeks ago saying "dear john" - and spent the day on an all out blitz to get to talk to me . . . work phone, my phone, messenger, emails . . . OMG . . . it took him this long to find the damn email?  oh well . . . he finally gave it up last night and sent an email saying he understands, blah blah blah . . . so finally done!

OK . . . have a great weekend everyone!  I'm heading to the hip doctor this morning to see if I proceed to the surgeon or not . . . ughhhhh . . . just do something!

Hugs
Chris

Hi Barb and Cali,

Yeah it is Wednesday!  I am off at 12:30 today then off to the dentist.  I have to pack for the weekend and get our snacks together.  Ms V does not think we are on vacation if we do not have snacks.  I am down 1 pound, thought I had stabilized but it is really slow going now which is fine with me.  I really don't want to lose anymore.  I have upped my protein intake which ups the calories.  I have my 6 month visit in two weeks have to get my labs done and can't wait to see the results.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy day!  Gobble gobble...

Hey,

Good Morning and Happy Wacky Wednesday Weigh in day to you.  Hummm, I am sick, and Doug is getting sick, I think we can thank Miss Becky for this, she was sick last week.  I am desperately trying to keep this away, I have to much to do.  I have asked my sisters to help me out.  It's going to be rough getting things done, but it will happen.  I am making it as simple as I can this time.  Basic things to eat.  I really thought by now I would be normal and not have all these problems still with my back, but it was a huge setback having the incision not heal correctly.

Anyway, it is going to be a fun day tomorrow, no matter what.  I look forward to being with family and friends, and not even thinking about the food.  How much life has changed!  All for the good.  My 3 years is coming up soon and even tho I haven't made goal, it doesn't matter to me.  My doctors are happy at my weight and even more so that I have stablized.  I am healthier and so much happier.

Wishing everyone, well almost everyone, a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the love of famiy and friends tomorrow,

Diane

Sorry honey, I tried so hard to keep it at bay. It's still really bad, I think it is Bronchitis, but can't do anything about it. Hope it is gone by next Tuesday or they won't operate on me. I can't be coughing after surgery, so it best be done by then.    I hate that I got you guys sick, especially now!!! 

love you and see you tomorrow!

becky... sorry YOU are sick, too! lay low and rest up so you can get that surgery next week....

love you!
Lori

Lori

Good Morning all!  Happy Wednesday masquerading as a Friday!!!  Yay!   Today brings me a trip to the vet with the puppies.  One little guy always likes to eat eat eat and then wiggles his way into a corner and sleeps with his nose there.  His name is.....Time-Out.   Vinnie's still a toad but there's one Black male that is bigger.  And Dutchess is still precious.  Pictures soon

I've got lots of Wednesday/Friday stuff to get done, then I am OFF for 4 days!  Tomorrow for Thanksgiving we are having a very small get-together with friends.  I took one of my Lasagna's out of the freezer, Tika's making zuppa toscana soup, some bread, WINE and Karioke. 

Our BIG family get together is on Saturday.  It's actually 5 families all getting together.  One of my kids will be home, but for the most part the whole weekend will be amazing.

No Black Friday shopping for me.  I prefer to do my holiday shopping from the comfort of my living room in my jammies.  Just a little less stressful.  Ya Think?

Doing the 2-mile Turkey Trot tomorrow moring with a good friend.  Next year I'll be running the 5 mile!  Hopefully.

Outta here............ take your vitamins (forgot mine at home, will get them when I go snag the puppies), drink your water, and Dance like nobody's watching!

hey, maureen... looking forward to more puppy pix... how awesome that they are all doing great!

and, i'm with ya on online shopping... comfy and no crowds!

hugs to the pups...
