***Sunday Roll Call***
I have a full schedule today. I've been up since 5:30 this morning. How come it is my summer vacation and I have been up between 5 and 6 everyday since school let out? WTH?
First hubby and I are off to Target to get some summer rocking chairs for our deck because they are 75% off!
Next I have a picnic to go to for the high school marching band in which my children play.
Then I'm off to the Academy of Music to see Grease with my Dad and a few siblings.
But the big news is that today is my pre-surgery day and I am on liquids. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30 am tomorrow.
I have yet to pack my bag so I better get to that soon!
Have a great day everyone!

Good Luck tomorrow. I am praying for a safe surgery and seeing you on the Losers' Bench soon.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good Morning Everyone,
Sunday is always a downer to me but what can you do. I plan on doing the usual to get ready for the work week. Laundry, cleaning bathrooms, etc.
I'm planning on trimming the bushes in front of my house. It's starting to look like a forest out there! I need to go to the gym so this afternoon will find me at Planet Fitness.
I ate too much and drank too much this whole weekend so I must make up for it. That's the problem with family weddings, eat, drink, and be crazy seems to be the MO with my family! LOL
Have a beautiful day!

GOOD MORNING PA!!! TODAY IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
I am thinking of spending the day at Cole Park and going swimming and catching a tan!! I have my niece with me and she loves to go swimming too. I like swimming because it is good exercise. I have gone swimming so far 3 times already this week!!! When winter time comes I will go to the gym and do water fitness because I love it!!!
As for yesterday, well I had a graduation party to go to and it was an awesome party!! My cousin graduated and my aunt through one heck of a bash!! Tons of food and goodies!!! OMG never in my life did I think I could smell food like I did yesterday! Everything smelled so good and when I walked into the one room where they had all the baked goods like cookies and brownies I was like OMG I could smell it as if they were baking right there still!!! ODDD. I could not ever smell food like that!! Maybe because I am not smoking anymore? IDK. I made it 4 hours at the party without eating anything that was there just my own food I brought. But wow was I thinking why DID i have this surgery because I wanted some of that food. Everyone was like you are so strong for being able to handle this and not eat anything. Yeah well its not easy because I wanted to leave a couple of times to just get away from it all...and I wanted to start crying too. I did get teary eyed a few times because it was so hard.
Sunday is always a relax day in my house and well we might relax on the beach and go swimming!!!

Denise,
Congrats on getting through the party "intact"... Yes, it's likely that quitting smoking has given you back your sense of smell and your sense of taste. I've heard that from a lot of people!
It does get a lot easier to deal with events like this as you get farther out and have more food choices available to you. In the early days, I brought all my own food "just in case" I couldn't find anything "safe" for me. Now, I'm pretty much able to find something safe - a bit of broiled seafood, some steamed veggies, even a grilled hamburger patty (no bun), etc... And I plan the nutrition of the rest of my day around that event, making sure that i have well-balance, high protein/lo fat meals before and after, just in case that one was deficient in some way.
So it's not about deprivation at all at this point... there's a wealth of things out there that we can eat - it's just about making healthy choices and appropriate portions.
You're doing GREAT !

Got up this am and went for a walk with jason on the salunga trail. Doing chores around the house and watching tv. Will be writing a few reports and cooking for the week. We did a little yard work yesterday night and our neighbor commented on how unusual it was for us to be out there because she knows we " dont like to do the yard" our town home has a lawn service one of the reasons we got a townhome. We are not yard work people. Our yard is clean and neat but is not embellished like hers. That annoyed me a bit. I told her we did not really know what to do in the yard and that we dont have time because I often am working 3 jobs. Oh well
