Good Tuesday Morning Cali

Good Morning Everyone,

I am doing okay.  Now that the holidays is over, I can get back on track.  Next week, I am going to start running again.  I want to run a full marathon this year. 
I was upset at my SIL because I had knitted her a blue sweater for her but she was really slow (almost a week after she recieved it) about offering a thank you.  Long story short, I told my brother about it and he was equally upset about it also.  She finally called my job and thanked me.  Like my mother always said, " It is always good to know what or who you are dealing with".  She will never recieve a hand crafted item from me again.

Anyway,  have a great day everyone.

More love,
Kim

How rude.  I ever get something from anyone, I thank them forever, and everytime I wear that item, I think of them again.  Stick to your guns, how rude can one be.  Have a great day.

Hugs to you Kim, Diane

Thank you, Diane.  Same to you.

Good Morning,

Yes it was me that has the same thing that Steve's mommy does.  In the 3 years I have dealth with it, only about a month ago did I go into a-fib again.  I take meds everyday to keep the heart rate slow.  I called Steve last night but didn't get a call back, but I did see Lu's post this morning.

My week has started out good.  I am working on getting these last 50 lbs off and forget about having to look at myself as a failure.  It's a head thing going on with me, things are never good enough, I know it came from my upbringing and getting rid of old things in your head is really hard to do.

My sisters and I are on a diet program together.  I have gained 13 lbs.....ARGH, so embarrassed to admit that, but already down one from yesterday.  I am keeping myself being a good girl on what passes my mouth, and today for the FIRST time, me and my little 4 legged, FAT ****er went for a little walk.  It was tough on my back, but I need to get out there and do something, I am sick of being in this house and not working out.  I am hoping to do this everyday.  Poor little Vickie thought she was going to the vets.  She has never had a walk, and this was her first one too, she was panting alot worse than me.  I found that I didn't even get out of breath except for coming back up my hill.  I just walked slower is all. 

I hope that everyone has a great day, mine has been good so far, but you never know!

Love and hugs to all, Diane

Good Afternoon California!

I hate making Resolutions especially since it was always about losing weight and for once this year, I didn't have to make that one.

I AM going to try to reach out and be more active here and with my friends this year though.  I tend to pull inward........not without reason.  Many hurts over the years and I've become terrible about my friendships.  But this year I'm going to try to open myself back up and take the risks involved.  May sound silly, but this is my downfall.  I even called an old friend today to wish her a Happy Birthday (to my husband's shock I think).  I have a list of people I need to call just to catch up with and I'm terrible about it.

I'm sorry I haven't been good about it here because I know that I cannot only support people but it will help me in return.

Also wanted to add two things about the A-Fib.  Having just finished one of my nursing classes (I got an A!!)  I learned that A-Fib is not a life threatening problem and can usually be controlled with medication.  Also, after my husband had his GB he developed A-Fib.  They ended up shocking his heart back into normal rhythm.  A year later he developed Bacterial Meningitis and the A-Fib returned for some reason.  After a month in the hospital and a long recovery, he went back into normal rhythm on his own.  His cardiologist said it's possible he goes in and out of A-Fib all the time but that it's nothing he needs to be concerned about.

I don't know if this will help Steve, I hope so.

Anyhoo, have a great day California.

Good Afternoon Janine and Cali Friends

Good Evenin' Janine and Cali Friends,

I just finished my last day of work, tomorrow is my R&R day before my BIG day Thursday.  Whoo Whoo!  I am doing great on my liquid diet and actually feeling great too.

Janine, I would recommend reporting that dog, you wouldn't want to find out later that it did this to a child and it's bad enough the dog did it to you.   

Steve, I am praying for your Mom and for you so that you get through all of this quickly.

Hugs to my Cali friends, you're the BESTEST!

Better late than never, thought I would still check in. I have a yucky cold. It has kept me up for the past 3 nights. UGH! I still have to get some exercise today though and I just pooped! I think I will pop on the wii for a little while.

Take care Cali!
