Thursday WLS Express

Good morning Train Riders!!!!  I made it in to work with no problems.  Only one bridge to go over and it wasn't bad at all.  I did let my car run for about 5 min before I left so I wouldn't freeze my butt off.  Should have a good day here.  I still have stuff to catch up on, and support group stuff to do if I run out of real work.  Jeff was supposed to test for a census job yesterday, went to the TWC office and found out they were closed for the day.  Would have been nice for them to let him know before he drove across town, but that's the way it goes some times.  They rescheduled for next week, and he put in a bunch of applications at some retail stores.

I've got dinner cooking in the crock pot today since Jeff has class tonight.  I like having it done before I get home so I don't have to rush around fixing it before he leaves.  I'm also meeting Jessica up at Sbux this evening for some peeps time. If anyone wants to join, we'll be at the Starbucks at Frankford and the Tollway (in the Albertson's shopping center) at 5:30.

I realized this morning I have some weird changes going on in my head these days.  This whole week I've actually wanted to dress up and look (dare I say it?) stylish to go into work.  Who is this person??  I've always wanted to look good, but never really thought about style or desired to make sure my outfits were "right" before.  Thank goodness I've got a bunch of super nice clothes people gave me, as new stuff is definitely not in my budget any time soon.  I'm going to have to go through my clothes again because I put on a nice suit jacket Danni gave me that looked great before the panni, and now it's too big.  Yes I know, good problem, but I'm going through clothes fast again and it's kind of annoying too.

Well, off to do some work.  Make good choices today, stay warm and get all your fluids in!!

Good morning everyone,

Woohoo for Thursdays.  OK, I have to give myself a pep talk today.  I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday and got mad when I realized it was Friday.  Then got really mad when I realized it was Thursday.  I have no idea what kind of dreams I was having but they must have spanned several days.  On top of that, my lovely cat Rocky kept waking me up all through the night wanting Mommy time.  He's to scared to come out during the day, so he comes out at night.  He had his surgery and I brought him home yesterday.  I woke up to him sitting on my head at about 1:30.  He slept on the bed most of the night but kept waking me up to make sure I knew he was there. 

Oh, if anyone needs some entertainment tonight or tomorrow, Britt has her first Winter Guard competition.  Tonight is free, at McKinney High School at 8pm.  It's a practice run through for family and friends so come on out.  Friday is at Wakeland HS in Frisco, $7 per person.  Her guard performs at 8.  There will be other guards to see on Friday also. 

Wasn't that snow fog pretty today.  I guess it's still doing it.  Just looked out the window.  Saying prayers for all of you.  Have a great day everyone.

Hey Annette, Clay and Hailey are going to the Frisco thing Friday night.  I'm not cuz I have to work 12 hrs on Saturday and I hear Rowlett doesn't perform til almost 10 pm.  We're going to a competition in Houston the following weekend with the Rowlett guard.  Can't wait, it's a fun group to hang out with.

WHERE in Houston and WHEN?????  Details, woman!!

I don't know the details yet.  I have to work Friday til 7 pm so I'm not sure if we're going down late on Fri or very early Sat morning.  We're staying in Conroe at the Silverleaf Resorts and I think the competition is on the North side~ Klein High School, maybe?  Will come back home Sunday.  My eye surgery is that Tuesday so it depends on how things go with that too.  I'll give you more details as I get them.

Good morning everyone.  I hope you had a great time yesterday in Cancun, I know I sure did, lol.  Actually, I didn't so squat yesterday.  I was cold and couldn't warm up so I just played on the puter and watched TV all day.  What a waste.  Today I'm headed to the gym and going to grab a few groceries.  I NEED to do my income taxes.  I have everything I need, just haven't had the motivation to tackle it.

Hope everyone has a super day and stays warm ...now get up and take those vitamins so you won't get sick!! 

 

Have fun doing your taxes! lol  I wish I would get all my w-2s...don't even know how many jobs I had in 2008...I need to sit down & make a list so I make sure I get them all. 

Good Morning OH Family!

I finally slept good last night! Yea! without taking anything. I've been restless and feeling like I need to crawl out of my skin. Going to go get a haircut today and get nails done. I'm starting to stay home too much and isolating.(not like me at all) Starting to become a way of life and yall know me, if I don't like the way my life is time to make changes. I'm meeting with a recruiter next week to get serious about a job. I was proud of myself Summer wanted me to watch Laylabug today and I told her I've already made plans. She kinda huffed but I stuck to it. I told her I would be glad to watch her tomorrow. Well I better hop in the shower and go run my errands. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Be careful walking in the parking lots there will be still patches of ice.

Your loved!

I have been having issues with OH working for me this morning.  I guess now it is afternoon.  I had planned on being off the computer by 11 but have gotten caught up in getting caught up.  LOL  I will get off soon and make lunch then I have a day of packing planned.  I am going to pac****il I run out of boxes or time whichever comes first.  I have been procrastinating just because I haven't felt up to the task at hand but it ain't gonna get done by itself.  I am feeling much better thank goodness.  I may even fit a run in at some point today.  Just a short one to get me back up and at them.  I still feel a little weak so I don't want to overdo it and have a relapse.  On a good note the scale is moving again.  I am finally in the 160's.  Woohoo.  I am still having issues with the weight vs size thing.  It really blows my mind.  I was talking with a friend (who hasn't had WLS) and even she said that she can't believe someone can be in a size 8/9 and still be considered overweight.  Mind boggling isn't it.  Anyway, I am thinking that I am such a small size (no comments from you miss Kathy B) but still heavy because of muscle mass????  You fitness folks out there have any comments on this?  I also plan to really discuss with my surgeon and my PCP about a goal weight for me.  I am starting to think that I might have set mine too low just based on the size and weight I am now and my future fitness goals.  I wi**** could be easy just to pick a number and be happy with it.  Oh if life were so simple right???  Anyway, I am excited, Tim comes home tonight and we are going to discuss the book The Five Love Languages.  He is excited about it too which is why I married the guy.  One of his main goals in life is to make me happy.  How did I get so lucky?  I hope everyone has a wonderful day today.  Love and prayers to all,
Jenn

Yes, muscle mass.  And have you had a bone density test done?  There is sooo much that goes into our weight and it's really misleading.  You know my current weight and size, but the thing is I know people who weigh this and wear a larger size.  And some of the other ladies at the gym wear my size but are much lighter.  You just can't base your goal weight in relation to what you know about other's weights.  I highly recommend a discussion with your doctor...and maybe have your BMI and body fat done before you go (if he doesn't offer that service) so that you can discuss facts with him instead of generalities.
