Good Monday Morning Cali

Good Monday Morning Cali and welcome to the last Monday of the year! Hard to believe in a few short days it is going to be 2009.

This week also brings the last Whacky Weigh In Wednesday which Steve has done an outstanding job of keeping the poundage total. I know it has to be at least one TON lost, Imagine that eh?

I do not know about you guys, but I can honestly say looking back that 2008 has been a good year in spite of the ups and downs. I will not say when the clock strikes midnight...wow I am glad 08 is behind me!

I look forward to getting on with this next year even though I hate the years ticking by...there is nothing I can do about it...only go with the flow!

My only resolutions for this new year is to be a better person and to take even better care of myself. Go on diet....oh hell NO....just continue what I am doing will suffice! Oh yeah and I reslove to get back on that Harley on a more regular basis and take me a wild vacation on it!!! Now that is important!

What are your resolutions? What are you planning to do for New Years Eve? Inquiring minds want to know!

Have a great Monday my friends!!!!

 

PEACE OUT!!! 

 

p.s. I went and saw MILK yesterday with Sean Penn....OMG it was fantastic. I lived there when all that happened in San Francisco. It was a very shocking heart breaking time in the cities history...brought back a lot of memories. That movie ought to bring Penn an Oscar nod for sure! 

 

Good Morning Janine & Everyone,
Monday, uhhh, back to work, oh well atleast I have a job. I work New Years Eve and New Years Day, so no plans for either. I cant believe the year is almost over. All in all it has been ok, could have been better, could have been worse.
Today I see my surgeon to see what can be done to fix my Panni surgery. Cant do anything until May when I am done with probation, but it will be good to know what he plans.
Oh well off rto get ready for work. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Be good to yourselves and those around you!!!

Good Morning Janine and Cali,

I am definitely going to say this is one of my best years ever.  Being a mother has completely changed my life and enriched it more than I could have ever imagined.  I don't know what my resolutions will be yet.  One thing I do know is it will have nothing to do with weight loss and dieting.

Everyone enjoy the day

Monica

GOod morning Janine and crew
Well I agree - that it is hard to believe that the year is almost over - and holy cow what a year it has been for me for sure.....resolutions....well I don't really like tomake resolutions - kind of like I don't like to say "diet" (which by the way I never will again since Ihave changed my life).  Anyway - my goal for 2009 is to quit smoking so I am healthier when I have plastics and also to be able to have my plastics and really complete this awesome journey of mine.  I am still in awe of what I have accomplished over the past 16 months....OMG this is one crazy ride for sure.   I haven't felt this good in years and years....and to think that 16 mos ago I could not wear any kind of jeans except for the elastic waist pull on kine and now I can wear a size 12????????Omg

Alright - so on to the New year.....no plans for New Years ever - I an not really a fan of going out on New years because of all the rookie drinkers that go out and drink and then drive - to scary on the roads....I prefer to stay home - cozy in my safe home and maybe have a little bubbly and watch TV then be up in the am with a clear head to watch the Parade on TV.  Although I usually get bored with the parade after about an hour (LOL).  THis year my BFF from Torrance might come here to spend the night and we will celebrate together and also have our Christmas exchange as well (She was out of town over Christmas).

I guess I am done rambling.  Oh my one big goal right now is to get below the 180 mark on the scale.  only a lb to go as I am sitting steady at 181 this morning....OMG It still just blows my mind....I know I have said that before but every time I think about it I almost cry.....

Everyone have a great monday - I am just getting my nails and toesies done today and running some errands then picking my sister up at LB airport tonight then out for a light dinner after.....

Hugs to all

Girlfriend you need to update your ticker.  Weight to go for the year. You are a weight loss Rocker.

Hey lady
Really?  My ticker showes 160lbs lost on my computer - is it not showing on the board?  Weird cause I did update it yesterday and shows the right numbers on my end....

Thanks for the compliment too - I feel like a star.

Nevermind I'm a ding bat this morning and read it wrong.

Good Morning Janine and Cali friends!!!

Back to work.......Ugh!  Hard to get up.  My husband and I slept in every morning during the holiday and it was so nice.

My year was pretty good!  I had my surgery!!!  Along with more unexpected surgeries!  lol  But all in all it was a pretty darn good year!  My husband is a great man and he helps to give me a great, happy life with more than I could ever ask for.

My resolution for the New Year is to get closer to my Grandkids and God willing, my daughters.  Well gotta run...........work is calling me!!!

Have a great, great Day everyone!

Morning Janine and Cali!  Three more work days this year . .. wahoo!  No plans for New Years though . . . except my usual bottle of bubbly - and my annual viewing of "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood (think I have the right name) . . . I LOVE that food fight scene!

My resolution is to just remain calm enough to not kill anyone in my house until they HOPEFULLY can move out soon . . .my son is still waiting for the job in Monterey . . . BUT - my DIL took her last chemo pill 2 days ago . . . and now we wait for 2 week and pray this disease is beat this time!  Also I have to quit smoking again too . . . which I had done until I went camping with a certain group (you know who you are lol) .. . so now I have to be serious again . . .it has been a crutch for my stress and I have to kick it!

Have a great day everyone!
Hugs
Chris

Hey there and Good Back-To-Work-Monday to you and all the Crew Janine. Well, that's back to work for me after my five day weekend even if many of you won't be doing the same today. And then just today and Tuesday to work followed by another five day weekend. I could get used to this schedule!
       
D and I had the best, most relaxing Saturday and Sunday I can remember. Did NOTHING all weekend... no chores, projects, nuttin'! I totally enjoyed i****ched some movies, played the Wii.... Wii Fit and Wii Music. D played his piano. I played around with my computer and iPhone (rumor hazzit I need to head out your way for a get to know your iPhone afternoon J??? And I want to go to the Apple store when you go get your Mac too!!! ) D did go to the grocery Saturday afternoon but all the pick up around the house, laundry, etc. I did on my day off Friday while he was working to get it out of the way.

I've got the totals for the year end weight lost reveal this Thursday morning. How many pounds are in a ton anyway? We must be darn close!
Every week when I update the spreadsheet that cell with the total gets bigger and bigger. Hoping for a HUGE turnout this Wednesday to boost that number.

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing in 2009. '08 wasn't the best year from my perspective. Though I had many blessed moments overall it has been a very unusual and tough year for me. I will surely lift a toast to the new year and send up prayers at midnight Wednesday that's for sure. We are having a small family New Years Eve per Mom's request. She and brother Walter are hoping for a better year in 2009 as well and they want to see it in with D and I.

OK kids.... time for Steve to get another cup 'o' joe and shoot out a couple of e-mails so I will sign off by wishing you all a TERRIFIC Monday.
