Good Tuesday Morning Cali

Good Morning Janine and Cali friends!!!

Happy Tuesday!  I'm happy because that is one day closer to graduating to MUSHIES!!!  Yay!!!  Who would've thought???  lol

So far I've been doing really well, I did have a bit of a temptation after cooking my hubby a lasagna....I felt like an addict!  What do I do?  Who do I call?  Ugh!!!  Why does it smell so darn good???  My husband needs to eat!!!  Did you all go through anything like this?  how did you survive it?

I finally went over and put a big piece of foil over the top, grabbed me a sf popcicle and went in the living room....but OMG!!!

I hope you all have a great, great Tuesday!!!

Be Blessed!   Jeni

When I get that lasanga craving I take 1/4 C ricotta, top it with SF spaghetti sauce (I use Classico), top with a little mozzarella and bake 10-15 minutes.   Just one more day and you can indulge in those yummy flavors. :-)

You're doing great!

Good morning Janine.  I am one of those guilty who have fallen off the boards.  I just have not had computer access in a while.  I can only use this comp early in the morning before my boss gets into work.  Yes....I am finally working again.  I don't really like the job but at least it' a paycheck until something better comes along.  I am working for a long haul trucking company doing dispatch work.  It doesn't pay much but it will do for now I guess.  Jobs are so hard to find right now.  I have really missed catching up with everyone.  There are so many new people here.  I haven't been out much.  I have been to a few high desert dinners but that is it lately.  I am sure I wouldn't recognize hardly anyone.  My weight is like a yo-yo.  It all depends how much stress I am under and how bad my ulcer is acting up. 

I just wanted to let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.  I am still alive...at least most days.   

Good Morning Janine and Cali,

I am happy to say yesterday was a better day.  I think the lortab was making me sick.  I will never be a drug addict my body just hates them.  I now just take some tylenol and what a difference.  I also found a couple of things that my tummy will tolerate.  I look forward to more progress. 

Thanks everyone for the vitamin talk.  I definitely need to get myself back on a more consistant program.

Everyone enjoy the day

Morning Janine and my Dear OH Friends,

I love this morning post, and will miss it when I go back to work. I'm a bit of a slow mover these days, and am not sure I'll have time in the mornings to get to it once I go back to work.

Slept in my bed 2 nights in a row....feel kinda stiff, but I have to get used to it, because when I move next week, I'll have to sleep in it. It's a great bed, so it's just a matter of my body getting used to a bed again.

Met with my boss yesterday, and I start work officially next Thursday. She is being very understanding. We went for a walk and talked about work, and just life. I really love her. I know these past few months have been hard with her being short staffed, but never once has she made me feel bad about what happened. The only thing she ever told me was, "When your a** heals up I'm going to kick it!!: lol She is thankful to have me back, and is very willing to work for with me with my limitations, which I don't think will last long.

Then did some fun shopping, I had a few coupons to redeem, so went to Victoria's Secret and got a very cute pair of panties for free, then to Bare Essentuals and paid only $3 for an eye shadow, and then Bath and Body works for a free lotion, and 20% discount on my other stuff. Today it's Yankee Candle to redeem my coupon there....I'm all about bargain shopping, so I can get eveyone on my list a little Christmas gift this year. Also working at Starbucks really pays off because I save up my weekly free lbs of coffee I get, buy a cute mug at my discount, and there's a nice little gift for someone for maybe $5!

Today I'm having lunch with a Sara G in Antioch. I'm going to also try and hit the gym a little and get in some toning....my body is really wanting me to do that, it's been so long.

Anyway, enough of me...........have a great day CA!!!
Luv U Guys!

Happy Tuesday Janine and CALI crew! I forgot to tell u Janine how beautiful Ava looked at the pumpkin patch! Those pictures were awesome!
Have a super day kidsya

Good Morning All!  Today brings more of the same.  Paperwork, paperwork, and.........suprise - more paperwork.  Oh, well, someone has to do it.

I used my george foreman grill to do up some tri tip steaks (yummmmm) some saute'd mushrooms with garlic for the bald man (I'm allergic) and a baked tater for him.  I nibbled on the steak and savored every bite.  I also built a big ole stew for the crock pot. 

Today I have an appointment with my PCP for an annual check up.  Then go feed the bridge boys and then home and to bed.  Slept great until 2:30 and then couldn't get back to that good level of sleep after that.  Wazzzzup with that?  Going to join a gym on Wednesday.  Gotta get these muscles working

Later.........

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Well yesterday SUCKED!   Okay I feel better now that I got that out of my system!  I am so frustrated, I have to wonder if this is all I'm going to lose, although I am only 7 months out, but maybe 100 pounds (or close to it) is going to be it. I have not lost anything for 2 weeks now and I know your all going to say stick to the program and it will eventually move. I'm trying, but I have to say.... I'm struggling not with bad food choices, butin my exercise regimin cause I'm so frustrated... It's a vivious circle I know.   Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. I know to just be patient but it is really hard for me this week!!

I ended up working out really hard last night. Hoofed it on the elliptical for a half hour then on the treadmill for another 20 minutes. I haven't been able to hoof it like this since prior to plastics... and it felt GREAT! Really good feeling to max out my heart rate. I'm on board for Wednesday as well and perhaps Friday. Tonight I'll just walk outdoors. It feels good to be active. And I sleep better.

Hi Cali,

I really need the vitamin talk.  I take my multi everyday.  It's the iron and the vitamin C that I mess up with. 

I went to donate blood after work and my iron was too low to donate, so I will have to wait until another time.

My yarn came in yesterday, for the purple afghan , so now I can fini**** 
It should be done by next week.

Other than that, nothing else.

Talk to you later.  More Love.

Kim
