Well..it's Wednesday! What's new revue......

i'm up....that's a step in the right direction!!!
need to get coffee...brb...................
please post away...don't leave me talkin to myself as usual here...............

Morning,

I am sitting here drinking my coffee and contemplating my day.  I have to go to the doctors, go to the bank, go to walmart and then giant eagle.   I will be busy most of the day.  I have a ton of things to do.   I don't know if that is good or bad.  At least I will be busy.

Nothing else new except I am still in my stall.   That is discouraging.   I just have to hang in there.  I thought I would lose weight faster.  I am not.  I guess I am a slow loser.

Well take care everyone and tell me what's new with you!

good morning! stalls are discouraging! i was not a fast loser- but i also starte dout with less to lose than many and i think that holds true for alot of ppl--and i found that losing slower helped my elasticity a bit???

don't get discouraged-shake up your routine a bit? your body has to figure out what you are trying to do/have done to it!!!!

ok-now i'm going for coffee....

Good morning.  Life is wonderful.  My Rangers swept a doubleheader yesterday. 

Just two more days left to my work week. (tonight and tomorrow) 

Gotta love it.

got busy straightening the kitchen and looking for something-now it's time to get dressed for work...
the banking thing will be alright but it was frightening-knowing what could happen!
roxie was a true trooper getting her blood draw- she loves the vets' office and staff!
tonite, we have a realtor coming -i think we are going to list....so after work is more cleaning-one would think we would be "clean" by now!! avoidance of the issues is the key here- and my middle name is really procrastination, not porter!

anyhow- off to work...hope everyone has a great day!
hugs and prayers

Hi Margo,

Soooo glad the bank thing is alright. It is quite scary!  I pay all of my bills automatically online, and some of the bills I really don't look at very closely. Sure enough, each of the last three months some "fix my credit" company has put $30 charges onto my Visa. I called the bank and they reversed the charges, but now I have paperwork to fill out and send back. Thankfully it's a card with a very low limit, so there couldn't be much damage done, but enough!

I think a realtor is  a good idea. I hate the commission that they get, but sometimes it just takes a professional to get the job done right. Good luck with it. I know the right thing is coming for you and Michael.

Sitting here with color on my hair, stuff piled up ready for the suitcase, once I FIND  it!!  LOL.  Someone, gee.....don't know who, took it to the storage garage, so that's one more thing I have to do today.
Then, I realized that it's two weeks till my 3 yr appt with my surgeon, so I have to run to my PCP for blood work in the middle of my work day   AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 

Busy day ahead. Hugs and love to all!!

Good morning Margo and all,

Margo - good luck. I can't imagine trying to keep a house in shape for showings. If the cats don't make a mess, I drop and spill - kind of a clutz.

When the weight first started dropping, so did my shoes size. All of a sudden shoes are getting too big again. Not fair, I don't want to start that shoe shopping ordeal again.

Have a great Hump Day.

My feet got bigger when I lost weight ... go figure! I was a size 10, after I lost weight went up to an 11D. Even with the smaller orthotics, I thought I might be able to go down a size, but nope, I have to use the 11Ds ... the smaller width is too tight, smaller size (even a half size) is too tight. I tried it for a weekend even and couldn't stand it.

I am not a big shoe person. I have my New Balance shoes I paid $99 for, a good pair of slippers for winter, my Birkenstocks for summer and one pair of dress sandals (because dress shoes, well, we don't get along ... too tight on the toes).

I'm with you on the mess ... I'm a slob, the cats shed and leave litter everywhere.

Happy Hump Day all....

I am off to the doctors (I use that term loosely) to remind him that (1) my "status" i.e. restricted hours and light duty expired on Friday and my job would like to know if I am back to work full time and (2) would he please look at the MRI results that were in his office yesterday morning. If the MRI doesn't show anything then I have no clue what to do next... just go back to work I guess... pain and all...

I still haven't seen a dime of Workers Comp money... sure is putting a burden on us... All will be well (financially) if I just go back to full time... so I am probably going to lie to the doctor and tell him I am fine and to release me back to work.... then I will go to an orthapedist on my own ...maybe some more physical therapy... 

On a more cheerful note, my wife is doing great on Weigh****chers... losing steadily .. 10 pounds in 5 weeks... I am stuck at the same weight I have been for almost a year... nothing seems to budge it... probably because I can't exercise. I have a recumbant bike now so maybe that will kick start the weight loss...

Off to the Doc-In-The-Box... wish me luck :)

Good morning Margo and OFF friends,

I had a great day yesterday - no nausea - also, no protein drinks - lol
I've been concentrating on getting protein through foods, even if it requires a few cheese snacks in there.  So far, so good.  Can't wait until the next phase, soft foods, in two weeks.

Down 26.4 pounds - WOO HOO!

Have a great day!
