I looked at the blog earlier and thought...what is wrong with it...now I know and it's fixed. Will work on the rest tonight - thank goodness the day is almost over.
I did comment on the prior post as well...didn't want you girls to think I have been ignoring ya...
Sounds like you and I are having the same type of day girl!!
Love you and all you do for our blog!!
Yeah, you rock, Tina
Ok, I'm off to get the bus for my appt today; I'll let you guys know how it went when I get back;
I'm glad that you actually LIKE therapy, LA; I had such a horrible opinion about it years ago, but I don't have that feeling now
LOL,
I posted on the other as well....
Kathi, congrats on making that step... :)
Tina, can't wait to see the outfit Fred got you! sounds really cute!
LA, good luck with your long week.... :(
My "personal trainer" starts in on me tonight!!!
KK said, she will whoop my ass into shape!!! LOL
she said, mom, you can't scream at me if you are sore or tired! I said ok, but if Mylee cries for me, I get a break! :)
OK here at home watching "Wheel of Fortune"... it's military night....
do any of you Navy folk know
"Donta" from San Diego???????
pronounced Dontay.... he just won again! 2nd place....
Yeah, Marci; thought it was about time I get some help with everything...only wish I had a FRICKIN CAR! Takes an hour and a half to get down there by bus;; good luck with you "personal trainer".... I thought you were doing that "ring" in your tummy (?)
You do rock, Tina, but I saw that was meant for LA; sorry
hahahahaha... no worries Kathi...i knew what you meant.
Well did some gym - worked on my blanket... and now... its nighty night.
Sleep tight ladies!
ok, think i messed up ... i did a little intro to you all, but i did it on the WEEK ONE POST ... already sleep deprived in 09 ..
GWEN! I'm so glad you joined us; we totally have a blast on here; this is Paul's sister, everyone (I know you know that though, Tina and Bren)
Hello!!!!
Marci...you crack me up with your personal trainer!!!!!!!!!! LOL..I'm sure you'll have MANY stories to share with KK crackin the whip!!!
Gwen!!!!!! Yea!! clap clap clap!!
Welcome!! :) Have fun with your goals!!
Kathie...best wishes with your therapy (Leighann's comment on therapy was funny LOL)
Leighann...I miss you :( hoping by now you have sugar free gumdrops dancing in your head (it's midnight there)
Hey Steph...Kristi...Tina!!!
I am doing some book keeping then will head off to bed...today was a good day :)
I am going to be a night time blog posterererer. Is that ok?? :S
I can't get into a blog from work and my day starts to early and I like sleep. HAHA
Love you!
I am going to be a night time blog posterererer. Is that ok?? :S
I can't get into a blog from work and my day starts to early and I like sleep. HAHA
Love you!
Here is a great site that I rely on...
http://www.dwlz.com/
Dottie's Weight Loss Zone. Anyone who does WW (like me!! as of Jan 2) will appreciate her information!
Hi, Kathy. I am a night-time posterer too! My shift is 2 a to 1100 a. :)
Oh, Sorry. I meant to say Kristy. I REALLY miss my coffee...
Good Morning Ladies!!
Day 2 of the "back to work crap"... LOL
HOpe you all have a good one! Brenda - I will pick you up for the gym!!
Hey all...
I'll check out the website Kristy :) I like any info that could help me !! You won't be alone at night time blogging LOL as you can see this shop is open 24/7 LOL
Hey Tina...I will be ready for the gym today!!! Work for me today appears to be smooth going , so far :)
Hey ladies....
day 2 sucks for me too Tina.. yuck! going back for my thyroid check today..
Kathi, yes I was going to have the lap band... but 1 week before surgery my insurance denied me.... I am too healthy of a fat gal!!!! LOL
so hopefully getting my thyroid into check and doing my diet and exercise will pay off this time. :)
Kristy, I too will check out that site.. thanks!
Welcome Gwen... :) I am always sleep deprived as well! we have too many kids and too much going on!
who else????
LA, how is your second day?
Steph, day 2 for no caffeine? yeah!
Thanks for the enthusiasm, Marci! But, I feel sluggish and cranky, like I have the flu. :(
I look forward to my run today. Some endorphins couldn't hurt, right?
Too healthy for lap band...well I think that is good news, Marci! Go, go go...it's all about baby steps! :)
BTW, I hate the way physicians recommend something, then the insurance companies deny...
exactly..... baby steps....
:) I'm doing the major dieting and cutting back, and will slowly add more and more water into the scene! I check my thyroid today at 2pm. hopefully good news...
I know... that's what is so aggravating.... the doctors want you to do things and the insurance denies.... damn insurance companies!!!
and that's from an insurance agent!
Good luck on the thyroid check, Marci!
I just finished my shift...today is my Monday, and it felt like it. All very technical dictation, and lots of foreign docs...makes for a long day!
For some reason, I could not spell 'excrescence", all day. I ended up putting it in my expander...HA!
Steph, it's amazing how you do that... especially with the foreign doctors...
I can't understand some of them in person much less on tape...
Brenda & Tina, have a great work out tonight!
Kristy,
I went check out the website.. really good info.
Thanks!
I signed up for the newsletter, you get every 2 weeks...
Welcome Gwen! Got your info and I will work on your page this week.
Stephanie, hope you feel better after your run...I can't work out till after work because I am TAD (ie. sitting in a classroom with no computer, phone, etc) and being forced to pay attention...LOL!
Kristy,
I will have to check it out and whenever you can blog is fine:)
Brenda and Tina, enjoy the gym.
Marci, hope your thyroid levels are good to go...I need to go and have mine checked again. Tina are your leveling out or no?
Well, I have to suck down my lunch and get back across base...thank goodness I didn't have to go to Norfolk for this training! And, I am with you Tina...this back to work stuff sucks:P
What training are you doing, Leigh Ann?
Hello!
Yesterday's appt was just a "screening", to see why I chose to get help, etc. I didn't actually see a therapist...more of a "nurse"; next appt is next month, but they gave me a phone number I can call in case I need someone sooner
Kathi...that's just awful that they are going to let your appt go for a month :( What a world we live in, huh!
Hey Steph...oh my hope those running endorphines do all they need to do!!!! I can't imagine doing the job you do..NOPE LOL
Marci..that's too bad on the lap being denied...ya know...you can always call your insurance and appeal the denial...do it several times over and see where it takes you :) Where I work now, and previously...there have been success in appeals from the patients :) Hope your thyroid levels are ok!!
Hey Leighann...be now you're back to class :) Is it a nice breather from the office??
Hey girls, I am back, should have my results by Friday...
I thought about appeal... and then just said shit on it! I however did see, b/c I don't keep up with my weightloss regulary... but my doctor's scale shows 7 lbs down in 7 weeks... which I will take it!!!!!
so b/c I can't remember where I started or if I posted correctly...
LA, please change my ticker to lost 7 lbs...
Is class over???
Hey Brenda, you are all chipper today as always! so refreshing to read your posts...
Howdy everyone!!!
Brenda and I hit the gym for a good workout and then I came home and made taco salads for the family.
Fred is grumpy so im avoiding him right now...
I am gonna hit the shower and work on my blanket a bit before 800. Gotta watch that new reality show Homeland Security its on ABC at 8.
hey Tina....
glad ya'll work out was good!
taco saladds are yum yum.....
Fred and MB can room together!!!
LOL
maybe in May, we need to put all the boys in one room and all the girls in another!!! LOL
Hello to all :)
Marci WTG!!!!!!!!!! on the weight loss...you do not need the lap :) You just need US LOL!! As I said when I saw you in Loui you are beautiful...and any weight loss you have will just add to what I saw :) (I truely mean that)
Tina...thanks for the gym experience...wish I dined with you..I came home and made a salad but mine had LOL ham, dorritos, cucumber and Catalina dressing...sounds icky but pretty good...the taco salad, I'm sure was dreamy LOL...men are turds, aren't they LOL
Hoping everyone else had a good day and evening...after dinner, I did some house chores...just settled down for abit before Steve comes home...
Hi All!!
Well for the first time ever... I watched Biggest Loser and didn't have crap for dinner. LOL. All kinds of healthy. :)
On the insurance thing... I promise not to get on a soap box for more than a second... I have been in insurance for 13 years. Your files are looked at by other physcians/ nurses/ and surgeons. Think of it as a second opinion. :) They aren't only about deny deny deny... there is a medical based reason behind it... otherwise insurance companies would get the crap sued out of them. Just like you will have a medical doctor disagree with another MD, you can have a physician at the HMO/PPO/POS disagree with your doctor on occasion. And yes... It is absolutely possible to be too healthy for a lap band!!! :D THAT IS GOOD NEWS and so is you doing this blog... The lap or gastric surgery can be fatal. Often. And it is not a lifestyle change... the statistics are STAGGERING of the number of patients that gain it all back within 5 years. But you won't hear that from a bariatric doctor. Ok I will shut up now. Sorry.
So.......... I go see about knee surgery on Monday.
Have a wonderful day! I am hitting a mid-week WW meeting tomorrow. Have to stay on top of smart food choices, since my activity is limited.
xo
Kristy, don't ever apologize for inputting something; that was good information
I'm going up to my dad's tomorrow/this evening and I'll be there for two days....my sister and I are gonna be doing two nights in a row now, so we don't have to be coming or going everyday (at least for a while; if it doesn't work, we'll change it back)
Happy Wednesday!!! Only one more day and i am off!! yes... on Friday. Jenna FINALLY gets her braces off!!!
YAY JENNA!!
Whew, 48 hours out with no caffeine, and I actually feel not grossly un-human...ha ha!
Just had hot tea this morning.
Excuse me, that would be 72 hours. Yay, me!
YAY JENNA!! I had braces in high school, and when I got mine off, it felt like I didn't have any teeth at all at first...lol
Good Morning, and Happy Wednesday
GO STEPH!! I don't know what I'd do if I lived that long w/o caffeine
Steph congrats...
Jenna congrats on your beautiful smile being revealed!
Brenda, thanks you are so sweet!
Kristy, I have been in the insurance business as well,
fixing to make 17 years on Feb 8th..... not really on the health insurance side so much... more auto, home, life, etc.... so it's good to hear that from you... and yes, don't apologize... it really was great info! and made me feel better.
Happy Hump Day!!!
Hello all :)
WTG Jenna!! So very happy for her!!
Kathi..your description is pretty wild on that feeling of having the braces come off...WOW! That has to be one of the best days in someone's life LOL
Kristi...and Marci LOL...funny about insurance...you can count me in too...I've been an medical examiner for 13 years :)
Steph...WOW!!! 72 hours no caffeine..WOOHOO!!!! That must make tea time even more of an event for you :) I know that feeling!!! I love tea time :D
Kristi....thinking about you and that doc appt regarding your knee...I sure hope they find a plan that can get the knee strong again!!
Good Morning...in class...had homework last night...miss you guys and will try to catch up soon. Thanks for ya'lls patience!

Hi all, yes I am with you Tina...I tried to post on Steph's a minute ago and it won't let me either.
Welcome Renee!
Brenda, I am glad you like your Louisiana treasures.
Marci, hoping your test results are good to go!
Kathi, LOL about the braces!
OK...let me know how bad I have screwed this up...lol
I have Marci at losing a total of seven pounds? I need another picture for your ticker page, thats why I was asking if I could use the one you emailed me...
I am up two pounds...
Brenda was up two pounds...
Kristi wants to lose a total of 55 pounds and was born in 69...I WILL make your ticker page soon:) I will also need a bio...check out our personal pages at the bottom of this page for ideas.
Gwen, I have your information, too. Goal of 10 pounds and I have the other stuff in my email.
Tina, I think I overlooked you...
I haven't heard from Rima...and I haven't been able reach Crystal.
I am off to update tickers and such:)
*pout* I hate being overlooked... LOL. JUST kidding!! Up a pound... again... sign....
Oh welll - hoping for a slight loss this week!!
glad to know im not the only one having trouble posting at Steph's Blog. whew!
Got you Tina...how is your week going after the Monday from hell?
Not bad... busy, but thats better than DRAGGING.
Damn... Im sore from the gym... THATS scary. LOL. Didnt think I worked out that hard. LOL
Yep, something is disabled and not letting me post comments, or you all, apparently. I will try to figure it out.
Sheesh!
Welcome, Renee
I'm here at Dad's now; been for about 15 minutes...fixin to get dinner going here in a bit
I had the worst dream last night...dreampt(sp) I was in Chicago having a great time with the cousins and I got a call that Dad died (well, my brother called one of my cousins and they told me); I sure hope THAT dream doesn't come true - at least for a long time
I didn't have any problems posting on Steph's blog
Tina, nice to hear your week is going by fast...
Kathi, that nightmare WILL not come true!
Steph, I am heading back to your blog.
Steph, still can't...just so you know that I am trying:)
K, Hope everyone is ready for a laugh ... I really think it is important to switch your workouts up and shock your body so today i did a ZUMBA DANCE CLASS ... wish you could have seen me ... Hilarious ... didn't work up a sweat at all since i didn't know what i was doing and had to go run after ...
i am loving my BIGGEST LOSER COOKBOOK ... my family is enjoying it also so now i don't have to cook 2 separate meals ... can't wait to weigh next Monday and see how it is going ...
again thanks for letting me join in ... Steph hope you are feeling better ...
Leigh Ann ... miss ya
hey Brenda, i really hope i get to see ya on your next visit ...
hey to everyone else ... it is Wednesday so we are 1/2 way through our week !!!!
Oh forgot ... LOVED BIGGEST LOSER SHOW last night ... Carla was going to be my girl to cheer for this year, but she went home ... bummer ... will have to pick me someone else...
GO TITANS !!!
Hey Gwen, you will have to let me know what the kids favorite recipes are from your new cook book.
I have never watched that show, maybe I need to start. Everyone says its great:)
Miss you 2!
All:
I have only finished Brenda's new page and mine...slow internet...Paul told me tonight to go ahead and cancel broadband and get it thru the cable...so maybe it will be easier to blog. You would think I was at the end of the world!
k...got Gwen's done - need a pic, Sis! Check your page out and make sure I have your ticker right.
Good Nite!
hey all,
thanks for welcoming Renee'!...
she is a sweetheart...
we had church meeting tonight for Gabs First Communion.... met up with my little brother afterwards to visit for a few minutes.. (that's who Sam is living with)...
Gwen I would LOVE to hear some recipes that the kids like... :)
Steph, still couldn't post... just tried....
Brenda, I absolutely LOVE your bio picture it is great and you are beautiful!
Tina I wish I could have eaten supper at your house tonight!
Kathi, you are dreaming like that b/c of everything you've been thru... it won't happen... enjoy yourself... you deserve it....
Leigh Ann, let me see if I can get a picture right now of me... and will email to you... don't use the one I sent you....
I'll try and get with Renee' and see if we can get her started...
I know she will give us good tips!
I'll get someone to take my pic soon, LA; I want to see if there's a difference in the two (the one from last year and the new one)
I don't know when I got it, but I got a "thank you" card in the mail from my Aunt Joanne (she's the one that died a week before Christmas)'s family, with her Mass card in it; the ty and Mass card are beautiful...for those who don't know, a Mass card is what a mortuary has made up, in rememberance of the person who passed away; and it usually has a prayer on the back, but not always
Hello to everyone!!
Leighann...thank you so much for all the work you do on this blog :) Tonight, I know, took some time to do..especially when it's slow. Hoping your tomorrow is a good one :)
Kathi...hoping those icky dreams go away!!! I can get your pic tomorrow if you'd like...Lemme know and I can stop in about 2:50 on my way home to ready for the gym :) (call my cell, ok)
Tina...YOU DOG!! LOL..re: dinner!! I'm alittle sore too :)
Gwen...would love to have seen you too :) next time, for sure, ok!! I'm with you on the bumming and changing the routine..doing just that myself :D
Marci..hello hello..thank you for your comments on my bio :)
Steph...hope your blog gets better...I posted last night ok
Kristi...hoping all is well on your end!!
Rene...jump on in :)
Gosh..so many members now..who did I forget?? :(
I worked out at my friend's nursery this afternoon...then did vaccuuming at the house...all that counts, for sure!!
I'll have to check with Renee' and make sure she is able to post...
Steph, still having trouble on yours.... :(
Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog! :) I know, I post too much... any body that knows me... knows I am all about pictures of my children/grandchildren... out of control!!!!!! I'm nuts about pictures!
I am looking at my ceiling right now.. we had the living room repainted aobut 2 months ago... andd yes, my vents are still off... MB is in trouble!!!!! I am hoping if i fuss enough, they will be back up when I come home on Sunday! :)
I did want to comment that I had read to "pray" while you eat... to stop when you are full.... and I have been trying to do just that...
tonight I ate 1/2 of my salad, 3 grilled shrimp and a few bites of potato and was full! :) took a doggy box home....
love you all!
Marci
Bren,
I will comment as I see the post....
hee hee... I have no memory to comment each time for everyone.. so no one get offended by Nonnie!!!
she's an old grandmother!!!! LOL
Oh, MARCI; you and my sister should get together and do lunch...she was born with a camera in her hand; she is also an AVID picture taker; we used to make fun of her, but not anymore; we now realize just how important those pictures are
Bren, I don't know what time I'm gonna be leaving my dad's tomorrow; it's shower day and ya'll know how well those go... *sigh*
I was gonna recruit my cousin, Kathleen, to join us tonight, but thought twice about it....there's some things I've said about my dad that I don't want known in the family; that's just gonna worry them more about us than they already are
off to look at my page ... Leigh Ann you rock !!!! i know this takes lots of time ... My kids loved the low fat blt burgers made w/ turkey bacaon, stir fry, and baked ziti ... i will post a few recipes perhaps tonight so you guys can pick ... loving my Ezekeil Bread from whole foods ... it is a fab breakfast and fills me up ... i toast it and spread 1 tbsp of PB ...
I need to get everyone straight, so give me a few days ... hee hee ... thanks again for letting me join .... i am going to try this new stairclimber today that simulates running while pushing something ... looks brutal ... no more dance clasess for me ...
HAVE A BLESSED DAY EVERYONE !!!
will work on my pic today ...
Well, me and my OCD self....I have NOT been able to stop clicking around on my blog, trying to find out what setting is screwed up...I had to make myself log out before I get fired (LOL!!!) Need to be working now....
AND....one of our worst dictators is on today. It is NOT English. He has been admitting patients all night, so he is all I have had today...ready to open a vein...I am not sure if it should be his, or mine! HA HA HA!!
Just venting...
Oh Steph...that sounds like a huge headache day for you!!! Good luck with that :( And your blog.
Gwen...thanks for stepping up with all the tidbits of info for all of us :) that machine you describe sounds really scary LOL...
Kathi...oh yea..forgot you were at dad's today...maybe Sunday sometime, if you're home then, I can take the pic..it's the Charger game too!! I have some things going on, but I can work something in, if your schedule allows :)
Marci...WOW!! you did great on your meal last night :) I've decided, for me..no more beer during the week!!! I think I completely sabatoged myself this week!!!! That and chocolate (left over here at work..UGH!!)
ok...back to work I go!!
WOWWWWEEEEE Brenda!!! You hottie you!!! I just checked out your profile picture! You are so slim and trim and pretty!!! GREAT PIC!!!
I have to find a decent one... or have one taken.... *sigh*
Happy thursday everyone!!!
Brenda, I know, I have to do that as well! LOL
and I have been adding an extra glass of water each day...
Gosh Steph, don't know how you do...what you do... and thanks for your kind words on my blog...
Kathi, how was your dad's last night?
Gwen, I can never get my rythym right on the stairmaster or eliptical...
I'm spastic sometimes!!!
LOL
I'm going to take a new one this weekend as well..
b/c I sent Leigh Ann the one from last summer when I was heavier... so I need to do a "fresh" picture...
don't post the other one...
I too Tina, thought Brenda looked absolutely beautiful in her picture...
probably b/c of where she took the picture... one of her hobbies!!!
It's really not that bad, Marci, what I do...I complain sometimes but overall I love my job! :)
Tentatively, my blog is fixed....Tina managed to get in and post...Yahhh Hoooo!
I know, I complain too... it just keeps us grounded!!
LOL
I will have to go and check your blog out...
I see Brenda has updates and pictures... but I can't view on work computer.. will have ot view tonight!
Renee, did you figure out how to post?
Steph, I was able to post as well... it just asks for word verification...
but it works!!!!
LA can probably tell you how to turn that off.. I think I originally had that as well..
Hi everyone...wolfing down a grilled chicken breast, checking work email and them off to class again. Week is flying by:)
...and then am off...
Just finished egg whites with salsa for mid morning snack....mmmm.
I have never done egg whites... very healthy I know...maybe I will try.
WOW!! the salsa and egg whites sounds yummy!! :)
thanks all for your compliments on my pic..that pic is actually a year old next month LOL...it was taken during our last Feb trip to Arizona..hoping to get back to that very spot the end of next month...if so, I'll take my updated photo there :)
Yikes!! Monday, we have to play dress up at work...the big suit is in town going around our offices giving the economy speech...the grapevine says it's not good...no raises or bonus' ....not sure about layoffs though!!!!
Keeping fingers crossed for you, Bren; as far as Sunday...have to look at the schedule my sister emailed us and see I'm at my dad's; don't think so, since I have tomorrow and Saturday
Oh, yes. Brenda, we got the economy speech on our teleconference yesterday...no merit increases this year, and maybe not next, either. It is everywhere...
Leigh Ann, the egg whites are very good...I am starting to introduce some clean protein back into my diet...at the prodding of my husband, who reminds me that you can't build muscle without protein. I am glad he is watching out for me! :)
The whites can be kind of bland, and the salsa dresses them up!
Leigh Ann have fun at class ...
Steph it is definitely good to vent ... it cleanses the soul ..
Brenda off look at your hot picture ...
Kathi hey girlie ...
Marci it does take a while to figure out the stairmaster things but it is so worth it cause you get to work your arms to .. i just finished some turkey and ezekiel bread ...
I do love egg whites w/ some low fat ham or turkey ... yummy ... i have been fixin my kids that for breakfast except they get the whole egg and they love it ...
off to the Y ... catch ya later ..
I just don't seem to have enough time in the day...
gosh... ya'll are all so organized!
Mylee goes in the a.m. for her first (growth checkup).. and her 9 month shots... we will chart her to make sure she is not falling behind for her age in height...
Nonnie will bring her... :)
Steph, you had better get enough protein!!!!!
Gwen, have a good work out...
LA, good luck with your classes... and yes a fast week! :)
Tina, how goes it?
Bren, good luck with the big suits coming in! LOL
Hey Kathi & Renee'!
Hey ya'll.....
No shower for Dad today; will try again tomorrow *sigh*
I'm sorry, Marci; I didn't answer your earlier question about how it went here last night....went well, actually; we had one of those "dinners in a bag" that you just heat on the stove and eat... it was Italian Sausage and Rigatoni....yum yum
Hi everyone...don't know if I will get to anyone's pages tonight. I have to prepare for the lesson I have to teach in the morning:) But, I will be able to catch up this weekend. I can't believe that tomorrow is Friday!
Kathi,
Dinner sounds yummy!
Stephanie,
Protien sounds good, too! LOL!
Brenda,
Are you worried about your job?
Gwen,
Need that recipe for the bread you keep talking about!
Tina,
Hope you had a great day - and tomorrow IS Friday!
I'm home, and have been for about an hour and a half...decompressing; but going back to Dad's tomorrow for another try at a shower - *sigh*; but don't have to spend the night there until Saturday AND Sunday
Hey ladies!
Wow LA - I love doing training... have fun!! And dont worry about the pages girl! You do so much!!
Kathi - tomorrow is shower day... i just know it
Marci - Sounds like YOU will be a busy girl this weekend!! Have fun with it!! The VP orders the Director to do so... so shall it be! LOLOLOL!!
Brenda - GREAT work out! Love you!
Steph - YAY! You technical genius!! Fixin that blog! *grin* You got lucky like me! LOVE IT!!
Gwen - do share some recipes!!
Krisy - See you tomorrow!! Wish you could play... damn knee... damn Las Pastores... damn... well i cant think of anything else to damn - so see you tomorrow!
Renee - chime in any time!!
LOL Tina... love you....
too funny!!!!!
LA yes the week has flown by...
I will be on Booger girl alert this weekend.... seeing what is available!!!
hopefully Renee' will post soon...
I'm trying to get in touch with her...
she does her classes, as well as works with the Blood Center with donations and making appts.... :)
LOL, Tina...you can damn me; I didn't TOTALLY install my new printer correctly, so had to uninstall the whole damn thing and reinstall it....DAMN IT; but all is working well now, hopefully;
Let's keep our fingers crossed that tomorrow's shower day...just going up there to meet the nurse, get him showered (maybe) and coming back home....DAMN I WISH I HAD A CAR
I am freaking out about my first weigh in tomorrow. I worked my butt off food wise this week. I know how I get if I don't get results.... :S
Damn Los Pastores!!!!! My knee is killing me today from my P/Therapy appt. But hey, since I got my leg brace off, due to those appointments and my "exercise homework from the therapist" my range of "bend" has gone from only a 73 angle to 112 today! Woo Hoo.
So went to a friends house for dinner/ watch the OU game. They had pizza. I brought all the stuff to make a salad. LOVED it and was happy. Had one skinny slice and two bowls of salad. I am actually full right now! :D
Love egg whites... LOVE COSTCO EGG BEATERS CARTONS EVEN MORE. (I am way too lazy to do egg whites) One carton has 8 servings of eggs... BUT each one is only 30 calories. So you get crayz you can have a four egg omelet for only 120 calories. Yeah baby.
Love to all of you. Have a great Friday!!!
Kristy, your range of motion sounds GREAT; sorry about your knee hurting so bad though; been there, done that, so I definitely know what you're going through (had several knee surgeries, due my orthopedic problems)
Yeah, I've tried just egg whites before.... BLAH!!! I do, however, thanks to Bren turning me on to it, LOVE the egg substitutes....
Speaking of which.....Brennnnda? Are you up for a shopping trip anytime soon (if I can't get my ihss worker to take me SOON)?
Kristy, good luck with that ranging...I know that hurts! Sounds like you are making great progress! Egg white omelettes are my favorite...I mix in red peppers! Great, now my tummy is growling!
LOL...damn the damning!!! Cheers to that! :)
Gwen, I just stopped by your blog, and that is incredible, what you do with all of those babies...what a selfless, loving person you are!
I love being surrounded by all of these powerful women!!!!
Happy Friday all!!
Kristi..that's some painful and amazing therapy...WTG for getting through it!!! And your food too!!
Have a good day Leighann with your teaching...I know you are in your element with that :D As for my job..gosh, I don't think I'm in the line of pink slips but who really knows LOL..Will have to wait for Monday
Marci...Have fun at the conference LOL...what a cool boss LOL to make that an annual event for you folks!!!
I must have looked crappy last night (after gym work out with Tina) ...I had a botanical meeting and there are some retired folks and some older working folks on this board we sit on...and we were talking about the economy, some close to losing jobs, health issues etc...OK...several times last night in conversations,I got lumped into the phrase "at our age" AND the topper was when one guy asked me..Brenda, aren't you retiring soon??? OMG!!! LMAO!!!! I was like..uh..uh..nooo I have a few more years left before I can retire...UGH!!!!!!! LMAO!!!! good grief!
OMG!! Brenda!! Not only is that retired couple OLD... they are BLIND!!! sheesh!! You do NOT look old enuff to retire and even yesterday after the gym you did NOT look awful... so chalk it up to bad eyesight!! LOL.
Hope everyone has a wonderful friday. Jenna and I stayed up late, slept on the couches in the living room (omg my backkkk!!) and now I am up and she is snoozing away. LOL. Tia's all bent out of shape... YOU DIDNT SLEEP ON THE COUCH WITH ME!! I was like... YOU WOULDNT HAVE WANTED TO... and she says HOW DO YOU KNOW?? LOL damn teenagers!!
Anyway, I will (if jen cooperates) post a slide show of our adventures! ROFL!
Have a great day ladies!

Hi everyone!
The "damning" conversations cracked me up!!!
Brenda, they ARE blind, LOL!!!
Kathi, glad your dad is all scrubby:)
Tina, got your info and will work on it this weekend.
Gwen, Rayna will love to help you out!
Marci, how was Mylee Junes' checkup?
Renee, can't wait to hear from you!
Stephanie,
Thanks for the "powerful women" comment - it's nice that we have such an incredible network of women to draw strength from - know that you motivate me daily:)
Amen to that, LA...; all scrubby...LMAO; that was so cute how you put that; there was motivation behind it though (but whatever works is GREAT); my brother's gonna bring his girls down for dinner tomorrow :)
Kristy,
Congrats on the weight loss - it was 7 pounds, right? YAH!!!
And...Kristy, I have started your ticker page...I can't find your bio, I thought you sent me one. Sorry, I am SO playing catch up:(
Gwen, added your picture to your ticker page...it was either HUGE or too small. Let me know if it's ok or if want to send another.
I'm so sorry, Brenda...three days in a row of being with Dad EXHAUSTED me, so went to bed EARLY tonight (but had to pop to tell you); Sunday, I'm at my dad's around the time you want to go; my ihss worker, who was SUPPOSED to come tonight, says she'll come tomorrow - I won't believe it until I see the whites of her eyes - but if she doesn't, is there anyway you can do it, if not tomorrow, earlier in the day on Sunday (but BEFORE the game)?
ROFLMAO....had to "pop" to tell you......LOL; that was supposed to be "pop on"; see...I am tired (I also took an ativan to help me sleep and not be so emotional
Hey Kathi :) I hope you get some good rest!! Gosh...I'm thinking about my schedule and thinking if not Sunday night...maybe between 2 events tomorrow...I can call you when I get home...it may be round 3ish (not really sure) If you don't hear from me around that time...call me because I may forget!!! ((((HUGS)))
3:00 is when I have to catch the bus to go up to my dad's - and I have to be on THAT bus, cuz my brother and his family is comin down from OC to take my dad and I out to dinner
I'll MAKE SURE that my ihss worker is comin for sure tomorrow, so she can take me; thank you anyway
Hi! Actually I haven't sent one... Because I am a complete dork and I still can't figure out what a ticker page is to see other people's to get ideas of what I need to do.... heh.
So...... help? :D
All you have to do is go to the bottom of the blog and click on one of our names, Kristy; those are our ticker pages
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Hadn't scrolled down that far...
Thank you!!!
