Wednesday WLS Express

There--I did it!! I managed to cut and paste Sara's Smiey from yesterday's psot--without crashing the computer..so far...I'm working today-the first of 9 busy, pre-vacation days, and I'm picking up some new patients today, which makes it even a little more "challenging"..but..the good news...we get paid 'time and a half" for visits today-a first for our little company, which is great, since I was working ANYAWY..lol..Hope none of you were caught in those awful traffic floods they were showing on the news last night. May everyone stay healthy and dry today, and let us REMEMBER WHAT TODAY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ABOUT !!!!!! If you see an old man at WalMart today, when you stop in for hot dog buns, give him a hug-he probably fought for our freedom.

 

Happy fourth, ya'll!  I'm not generally up this early even on a weekday, but I couldn't sleep, so here I am!  There's a step class at 8:30 I'm planning on taking, then I'll try to get my overgrown, soggy yard mowed before going to a barbequeue.  OMG, continuation from yesterday. Saw my Dr, she was impressed. kinda acted like she was never against WLS in the first place, but whatever. The PA and nurse were flabbergasted. I'm planning on doing a little more closet-digging sometime today to see what else I can get rid of.  anyway, I hope everyone has a great day! 

so did you feel MUCH better after seeing your doc? "evil grin" I bet you did if you are digging out 12s or 14s in casual clothes I'll take em if you are tossing them - I have only one to small outfit left of the bags and boxes of stuff I strated with to shrink into LOL - that is kind of a cool fact in and of itself  but is leading to more and more shopping trips 

hey sweetie,

So glad your appt went well yesterday. My doctor kinda did the same thing. First saying how much she didn't go for the surgery, then doing a full turn around.

How cool to be going thru the closet. I'm like danni; my get into clothes is dwindled to nothing. I gave my friend two buckets of too big clothes Saturday, since she just had surgery and will soon be at my starting weight.

Hope you enjoy your soggy 4th. WE are just drowning, almost literally, in rain.

hadn't thought of the thank you thing - I always tear up when people thank Tim for serving - oh well I wll just have a teary day - I am proud of him for serving and all he does hook up the rcc for me today - I am fighting a nasty cold that does not want to go away - I have a doc apt to get some meds changed before we get pg (that is the plan ) but if I am still sick then I will see what the doc says I did day 2 of PB yesterday - did really well other than one slice of reg cheese - stopped on the way to visit the tt at wendys and paid $4 for a plain grilled chicken with a slice of cheese - tossed the bread out the window for the birds and just ate the chicken and slice of cheese I did however get in my full 120 mins of purposeful activity I wanted yesterday - treadmill, wieghts, walk and then jogging around the pool while little one swam to me and played. my arms did notice that we started lifting wieghts agian LOL so the .5 of a pound I am up I am willing to blame on swelling and cold meds, ok ok and maybe the stupid slice of cheese today looks good - we are going to the parade at 9:30 and then veggin all day as a family - hopefully playing in the pool and walking over to the playground - maybe going to bobwoodruff park and hiking though the off trail area, just having a good mellow family day. sat we are hitting the heard mussem - havn't been there in 5yrs - hope it is still good. I reset my goal wieght to what *I* want to be at - so now I am 61 pounds from goal - but I have lost 165 so far everyone have a great day danni 372/206.5/145

Danni,

Ya know, I'm not gonna be out much today, if at all. So will you please give Tim a big hug and thank you from me and Em.  We DO appreciate you so much his service, along with all those in the uniform.

Thank you Tim, and thank you soldiers!

 

Hello TMB!  All is well up here in McKinney - the sun is shining for now and i have a day off of work and I got to sleep in! No puppies   yet but the vet says it's ok. I'm willing to bet that Peanut will get those puppies pushed out today. Thanks for the good thoughts-- they are so appreciated! We're either hanging here doing BBQ and pool or we will head out to Lone Star Park with a bunch of friends to watch the fireworks. I guess it depends on Peanut and the weather.  What's everyone doing for the 4th today????????   Sara

TRYING to get the family up and modivated to head for the parade - taking the furbaby and then we will head to bobwoodruff and hike some or so the plan goes LOL thanks for the penut update see you monday?
