WHATS HAPPENING ON 4TH OF JULY

I think I have figured out what is going on with me now.....i think it is low blood sugar....I stuck a piece of Joes hard candy in my pocket Friday morning and went outside to work...the first sign I had of feeling dizzy and like I didn’t have the strength to stand up I popped that candy in my mouth and sure enough the feeling went away....i guess because it has been so hot and im trying to get so much done in the early morning my 30 grams of protein at 7am isn’t holding me till noon any more. It has been about 10am and it just goes and bottoms out. I guess you can see my metobolizer is metabolizing lol  I just need some sort of protein about 10am ....and I have been out of protein bars  that is what I was doing was eating a protein bar about 10am .....lol I guess that was and is what is happening. I didn’t buy any bars the other day cause I didn’t have enough money but I guess I better get them or something. Lol make some peanut butter balls ...

 

Thought I would ask you all a question and see what sort of things we got....

What was your most embarrassing or hateful or scary story before wls. ....

I use to hate going anywhere when I was fat at 5foot 3in. 272 pounds it was so scary to go somewhere and have to look around to find a place to sit....at that weight I couldn’t stand for more than 5 minutes and if there wasn’t a good sturdy chair or bench then it was too bad...most of the time I made Joe take my own sturdy chair when we were going somewhere like that....once I sat in a chair that was metal you know the old fashioned ones . it had to be bad , I don’t know how it could have bent and fell like it did. It  totally folded slowly and I was on the ground before I knew it. it took 3 men to get me up again. and that wasn’t fun either. So this 4^th of July I declare all of us independence from FAT.....Thank God for the knowledge that surgeons have to help us out of our pits of fat despair. ....

 

Jo did you find any good bargains shopping today? I just never can seem to find anything like others do ...maybe because even at smaller sizes I still really don’t like shopping for clothes. It just seems like a waste of money ....lol now you all know im freaky huh? A woman that doesn’t like to shop for clothes and shoes are even worse. I love shopping for tools, lumber anything to build stuff with but not clothes.  Joe usually has to run me off and tell me to go get something new lol you know I wasn’t like that before I got fat in the first place . I use to buy a complete new outfit every week but when your fat it doesn’t matter what you put on , that was the way I felt anyway....

 

Debbie so happy and glad that nothing was really wrong with Luke....and that you all got home safely....

Isnt it amazing how God is providing for you all. And I know that if someone would have ask you all before he got laid off if you could survive without his job , you would have said no....you know sometimes I think that God gives us lessons on how to trust in him...and maybe this is what this is? Are you working more ? Post once in a while so we don’t wonder if you ran away. Lol

 

Susan I know you are worn out for sure. All the moving you all have been doing today....be careful  and don’t overdo....sure am going to miss you all. 

 

HAPPY 4^TH OF JULY

 

 

 

Hello all! Happy 4th of July and Un-independence day for me and my hubby, as it is our 38th anniversary!

Debbie I am so thankful all is well with Luke and you and David, sorry I didnt even get on the puter yesterday so I didnt see your posts until this morning or I could have added to the prayers. I did say a ptl when I read the reports tho!

Susan, where and what are you going to be doing where your moving to?

Sis, hope whoever comes to look at the house are good Christian people...very reliable and responsible...

Im so excited about Tues that I can hardly wait...

Have a great HOLIDAY everyone.

Happy 4th of July Everyone!!!  Stay safe & have fun!

Saw TammyV yesterday at Caseys with her grandsons & a neice and she looks great!

Talked with my daughter for a minute and wished her a Happy 32nd Birthday.  It was night over there and they were at a fireworks display with about 10,000 people on base.  I just can't imagine that many people...  I miss her and Jamie so much.

It has rained here all night - yes the garden needed it, am thankfull we did not get the severe storms that they were predicting.  At least everything got a good soaking so we don't have to worry about fireworks and our roofs.

Have a great day!
Sandy

I'm Back!!!

We arrived back home yesterday, had a great time visiting with lots of family. It is a lot of work packing to go and just couldn't get organized when we set up our camp. Don't know why but, it was more work and seemed I just couldn't find things when I needed them. Hubby and son caught lots of fish. They were fishing limb lines and noodles. Early morning and late evening. We took "Baby" and found she doesn't care for camping. She didn't like all the people and wasn't crazy about swiming. Since coming home I have to carry her out the door to go potty, she refuses to walk out the door on her own...LOL

I haven't caught up on the board yet, but, I will.

Got word on Thursday morning that one of my best friends died. We knew she had kidney cancer and was fighting that but, did not know her remaining kidney shut down while we were gone. I know she is in a better place but my heart is so selfish. Her services will be Monday and Turesday after the holiday.

Need to get to unpacking and laundry, just wanted everyone to know I am back and fine. Missed the board and thought of all of you often.

Good morning and Happy 4th to everyone!  yesterday Jade and I got up early and headed down to SDC.  I figured it would be packed, but actually it was great.  We rode all the rides and never had to wait in line.  The line for the lemonaide was longer than the line rides.  We left @ 1 that's when it started getting busy.  They let vetrans in free which I thought was great.  They wore a pin on their shirt, always makes me want to walk up and say thank you, but then I always think do they think I'm a weirdo, so I just smile. lol  I bet they wonder why is this chick smiling at me HAHAHA!  On the way down there I got a call about a listing I have and we went back and forth all the way down to Branson and as we were pulling in the parking lot we came to an agreement. So that house is under contract! YAY!  I just listed a new one on Thurs I hope I can get it UC by next week, its a doll house.   Jan I used to almost break out in hives when we went to a restaurant and the hostess would head for a booth.  I always thought OMG I hope its one the table will move so we can scoot it over.  I hated that.  Now my life is just normal.  I don't get any looks getting on rides, walking down the street, going in to eat.  Its great.   My life is so much more active and fun.  I wouldn't want to go back ever!  We are going to a bbq, going swimming( used to I would be in a panic about the swim suit).  Not anymore! Jan I love it INDEPENDENCE from FAT! hell yeah! ;)  Have a great 4th everyone! ;) Lou

Several things come to mind about pre WLS.  My DH always wants a booth in a restaurant and sometimes it was a little too snug.  I always hoped the table would move.  Not a problem now but the thought always pops in my head we get to the booth.  Hobbling around the office because my knees hurt so badly I could hardly walk.  It was such misery to get up from my desk.  Getting a view of myself from the side would throw me into depression for days.

I did get some bargains at the thrist shop....3 pairs of shorts for 2.97 and DH got 4 pair for $6. 

I got my serger back and been using it today to finish a dress for me.  I bought more patterns yesterday for $.99 each.  My dress has a belt.  It's been years since I wore a dress with a waistline. 

Yesterday I made the Minute Bread in a Cup, very good.  This morning I made a "Danish."  Actually I don't think it tastes much like a
Danish but it was very good.  I'm organizing a binder with all my WLS recipes.

Debbis, so glad you son is okay.

Sugar, congratulations on your anniversay and good luck on your mission trip.

PoohBear, I like your 4th of July message.

Lou, sounds like real estate is booming.  I love SDC but haven't been in years.  If I can find a way to settle my little furry girl down in the car, we will take a trip to Branson.  Sophie gets so nervous in the car.   I just can't bear to leave them in a kennel.  I know, silly dog owner.  

I'm going back to sewing.  Lovin' using smaller patterns.

Yave a lovely 4th!! 

 Happy Fourth everyone. Enjoyed a fish fry at lunch with great music. My neighbors have an annual fish fry neighborhood-family reunion every year. Tonight there will be fireworks. I also had a great visit with Marylin and her granddaughter. I just wi**** wasn't so humid. We came back home to cool off but the music is still going.We may head back in a while but for sure we will be out for the fireworks.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy fourth. Don't drink and drive and expect others will so watch out for them.
