Hi all...I am better thank you! Will fix tickers tonight...Kathi what do you need help with again?
Hey LA - Im having trouble getting here... only way I have been able to is via the link on your blog... otherwise i get a message that says there is a programming error... Wanted you to know!
Got it fixed, LA; I don't know why the comments weren't showing up in the family blog, but I wrote a new post and the comment section showed up; SO glad to see that (the first post I did, it didn't show up)
By the way, my scale says I'm up 4 lbs, but I go to the doc again tomorrow, so I'll find out for sure and let you know
Oh Kathi..that's a pain weighing in on multiple scales :( No thank you!! LOL...mine only LOL
Hey Leighann..glad the moment has passed :) thanks for the tickers!!
Tina....see you at the gym Weds!!
No workout for me tomorrow...I'm headed up the coast for a bonsai class ..believe me, I'll be working out the rest of the week, double time :)
Happy Tuesday Ladies!
Hope you all have a great day. Im gonna try to get to the gym after work today... wish me luck! LOL
Good Luck, Tina! Brenda, enjoy your class and Kathi glad you got it fixed!
I have to hit the gym, today as well. Another busy day here at work. But, this weekend, I am meeting Paul and the girls in Birmingham, which is almost right in the middle of us, for Rayna and Mackenzie's soccer tournament. Dailen starts soccer in a couple of weeks at the YMCA - Fun Fun!!!
I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH I WIEGH! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning ladies....
waiting for my second computer at work to wake up so I can print the office production. it's so slow!
I have a BAD head cold.. feeling like shit.
LA, glad you will make it to the gym! :)
Bren, all I know is my plants can take direct sunlight and survive! LOL
Tina, miss you too... it seems like we have all been swamped... work and personal! :(
looking at new laptops over here.... :) not sure when...
Kathi, good luck ont he doctor's scale!
Good morning everyone else...
Hey all...
Tina...go go go ..to the gym :) wishing you well !!!!
Leighann...I'm sure you'll get back into your groove,frustrating, for sure!!!! Happy for your weekend and for Dailen!! YEA!!!
Marci :) Enjoy your plants!! that's awful about the computer :( I feel ours starting to lock up again...hope it doesn't crash..UGH!
I hate computers; I have to get one also as soon as I get off my ass and mail in the bad memory I got and get new ones :(
have to get ready to leave for doc appt (I'm seeing "Gastro Man"); tomorrow is actually my first psych appt....YAY
Hope your appt goes well Kathi! Thanks for the support, Brenda:)
Kathi wishing you well at your doc appt :) too!!
Hey Leighann :) Enjoy your evening!!
LA, so glad there are soccer games in the middle... :) hooray!
Brenda, I want to say that my anxiety was built up all during the day, when MB called me and said there was a package at my back door.... He said, It's from Brenda!!!! I couldn't get home fast enough and see the beautiful fascinating rocks.... I arranged some of them on a pedistal with my little "fat" wooden bird in the middle... I will careful find something else to display my treasures! :) You yes, ROCK!!!
Tina, glad you made it to the gym, did you hear anything from the labs?
Kathi, what about the scales?
Steph, Gwen, Renee', whats up ladies?
and Kristi! I am so sorry, I forgot you.... how is your healing coming along?
My @#$%@@ ihss worker didn't show up in time AGAIN, so no doc appt (I'm sorry for the language, but it HAD to come out, I'm so pissed off); she's gone (or at least is having her hours cut in half; she's blown it way too many times; that or I've just been way too damned generous);
I'm gonna go so I don't spew some more....
OMG Kathi.... WOW....
Hoping you calm down.... there is no excuse for missed appts.... I agree.....
Marci is right Kathi...thats just NOT ok.
For some reason I thought your ihss worker was a volunteer...NOT getting paid to NOT come get you and NOT take you shopping and NOT help you out when you need her to. I would find someone else! Your doc appt are too important
Yes Tina, I agree fully with you!
Kathi, look into this seriously!
Well ladies... i didnt make it to the gym... i just had a lazy afternoon.
Hope ya all have a great evening!
I was placing an ad on Craigslist WHILE SHE WAS HERE, so she could see that I was very serious about it; and to show her just how pissed off I was....I ended up getting a car, thinking the doc would see me anyway (I've seen him for almost 20 years and basically has an open door policy with me - and especially since my mom passed), but they won't see you if you're late... so it's now set for Friday morning at 8:30 (have to take the bus at like 6:30 or 7....UGH); I thought about giving her another chance tomorrow with my psych appt, but thought twice about it; but I'm better now, that my friend and I went to a casino and had fun - yes, I even came back with some money :)
Yeah Tina, she's getting paid to work for me; albeit, it's not a lot, but in today's economy, I know thousands of people that would JUMP at the chance to work; the problem with the one I have also is her transportation was starting to become unreliable (her cars are like 18-20 years old)
Hey everyone...I will catch up with everyone later...but, in the meantime, can you guys go to my blog and wish Paul a happy birthday...he turns 35 today!!!
Morning all! LA - tell paul to check my blog too... i scheduled a Happy bday for him that popped up this mornting! I will go to yours now
Will go to your blog Leighann...
Kathi..goodgrief..dump her!!
Tina...a day of rest, is always good :) for the next three days, I'm doing bike riding, then the gym...YIKES
Marci :D I'm so glad you got the rocks and that the timing made you feel good!! I collected them just for you in the Yuha Basin, California, right outside (to the west) of El Centro...the variety is mind boggling...the ziplock bag contained fossilized oysters
hello to everyone else!!
Yes, Kathi - your medical appts should be a priority for her.
Tina, will tell Paul when he calls at lunch.
Brenda, how sweet about the rocks:)
Since I have such a hard time on your blog (my computer doesn't like it for some damn reason - I'll try again though), could you please with him a very Happy Birthday to him for me, LA??? I thought about that after I turned off the computer last night, too, damn it (his birthday, I mean - I remembered it was his day way back from KK)
Thats strange...I wonder what is up with my blog?
Ok...saw that you got there...this is the LOOOONNNNGGGEEESSST Day - ever!
NO, I don't think it has anything to do with your blog...it's just my damned dinosaur of a computer;
OMG you guys...after just ONE therapy appt (today), I feel like such a weight's been lifted off my shoulders, just being able to finally have someone to talk to about all the crap that's been going on in my life (all the deaths, Dad, my ihss worker, etc.); and yes, I was able to release some emotion, which kind of surprised me, cuz I'm usually not THAT open with strangers at first. He wanted me to "confront" my mom (meaning, pretend she was sitting right next to me) and tell her exactly how I felt about her passing so suddenly.....I wasn't ready to do that one yet; I'm hoping I'll be able to with future appts. I know therapy sessions are meant to be private, but just wanted to share my first one with you guys
Hey all... and again i didnt make it to the gym. But I ate well. hahaha
Had a great doctors appointment - all levelsm thyroid cholesterol glucose triglicerites (sp?) etc are all normal or better than normal!
The only thing elevated is my weight haha But she didnt see to think it was a real issue... so im glad for that!
Hope you all are having a great day!!
Kathi, glad you had such a great appt!! :)
Tina, congrats on your levels being so good... and hopefully the gym will have you tomoorrow! LOL
Bren, we studied that ziploc for hours... would have never guessed oysters!
LA, so glad your weekend is one day closer! hooray!
I was home in bed today... needed to rest.... bad head cold.... feel soooo much better...
Hello everyone else!~~
Hey Marci!
Im glad ur feeling better!
Hey all!!
Marci..glad you were able to rest that cold!!
Aww Tina!! Sorry the gym didn't work out :( Glad your blood levels are good!!
Kathi...I bet you feel some relief..WONDERFUL!!
I did bike riding after work and then grocery store and working at home...I'm sure I burned some!! Sorry Tina I couldn't meet you at the gym this afternoon...I just had to start on my chores :( tomorrow after my bike ride, I'm coming home to do more chores...I had to cancel going to the botanical meeting because I have too much to do...
Hey all...wishing you all the best today :) It's Thursday...hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!
CHECK OUT THE RECIPE AT THE TOP!
Kathi, I am so happy for you - I LOVE THERAPY!
Tina, YES on the thyroid levels!
Brenda, hope those chores get done as quickly as possible!
Marci, glad your feeling better.
Gwen, Steph, Renee' and Kristy, hope ya'lls week is going good.
Heading to the gym...for what its worth!
Getting to the gym is worth ALOT LeighAnn!! Remember that muscle weighs more than fat... and that the pounds is not the only thing you can judge - look at how much greater shape you are in!!! You are awesome~!!
Im having a Lean Cusine for lunch.. YUM.
Thanks...I know it just sucks sometimes.
BTW...the recipe is a "fit" version of the original fish n chips...that link will take you to the recipe with the nutritional values and all.
LA, I love all the links you recently added... IE the calorie, what you need to burn etc... very nice...
Brenda, way to go on the biking and errands....
I'm hoping I can walk this afternoon, have Mylee, but she LOVES to stroll....

Mmmmmmm yummy recipie Leighann!!
Ok friends...I'm getting ready to leave work and the weather looks really cold outside :( going to bike ride!!

LOL....Yes, Leighann you have lots of haircuts in your house too :) hehehehe..glad Tori is having fun...as I was drifting off to sleep last night, I was thinking of taking myself on a spring break :D I was picturing myself in a campground somewhere..just me!!
Today after work, before chores, I'm going to walk with Jeri, from work, around Lake Miramar..5 miles...it's odd, but a big deal for me...I've always had a phobia of walking around it..the bike is fine...I'm just nervous that I will get to the other side and get stranded...LMAO...I know, totally odd ..Jeri's like...we need to carry weights...uh, no..my goal is just to get around it right now
Tina...look forward to making the gym schedule, for next week :) Gonna juggle, gym,biking and walking :D See you this evening!!!!
Marci...have a good Friday!!!
Steph..Kathi..Kristi and Gwen...have a good day and hope all is well :)
Happy Friday ladies!!
I hope everyone has a great day. I am looking forward to playing soccer tonight since i only got to the gym once. Brenda - My week is pretty free... I dont want to go Thursday as thats when i will be getting ready for Solvang and getting the girls ready to stay at Sarahs. I will send you an email!!
Oh... and Im flat this week... which amazes me as I made poor eating choices... but i will take it and be extra careful next week.
Have a great day ladies!!
LMAO Brenda...so get it! I will be thinking of you and sending you courage to walk around the lake because I TOTALLY understand!
I had an panic attack last week in the tanning bed...they were like you should have stayed longer...and I was thinking to myself,
"Hell, I amazed I even got into the damn thing! I work on the duration as I go!"
How funny life is:)
Tina,
Congrats on being flat! Kick some butt on the soccer field tonight!
LOL...oh my..yes, Leighann , you do get it :) OMG..the tanning bed...WHOA!
I just got back from my walk at break and I had a nervous feeling about this afternoon Hmmm nope..it's gonna be a good day and Tina is on speed dial :)
Greetings from a very sleepy little girl; had to wake up at 5:30(didn't actually get out of bed though until 5:45) this morning to catch the 6:30 bus for my doc appt with the gastro guy......all is well; he thinks it's my IBS and all the scar tissue that I have in my abdomen from my liver surgery back in '92 (I'm gonna have that pain for the rest of my life; cuz they can't do a surgery to get rid of it, cuz then they'll be even more scar tissue :o( )
Good luck with the walk, Bren
LA, I was weighed at the doc today; it said I weighed 174 with all my clothes on, so I'm thinking I actually weigh about 170 or 171 (REALLY bad food choices this week)
Today marks six months since Mom passed :\; it has absolutely FLOWN by
Kathi, six months and so many changes...thinking of you.
Thinking of you, too, Brenda! Don't hesitate to call Tina...or me...
I made it to Birmingham and have checked into the hotel...have rearranged the furniture in order to maximize space and set up the two laptops. LOL!!! Paul and them should be here in a couple of hours. The rain didn't start until the last 1/2 hour of my trip (so, no anxiety - geez!) But, it is supposed to be greater than 80% all weekend so, Rayna and Mackenzie will be wet!
It's a lot nicer being in a hotel room knowing I am going to have company:D
And, we are going to Joes Crab Shack tonight and On the Border tomorrow night:P
LET THE WEEKEND BEGIN!!!
Oh, AND I am down a pound! You'd think it would be ten - I am just SO glad that I quit GAINING weight!
So, instead of taking a nap (and we ALL know how much I enjoy my naps), I am going to the gym - I think I have just enough time to work and get dressed for dinner before the clan arrives...
You gooo girl!!
I am so glad you get to love on your family again this weekend.
As May gets closer and closer... I get more and more excited to hug you!!! Miss you girl!
Awww Leighann...that is sooooo cute about you changing the room around !!!!!!!!!!! Gosh...I'm sure you are in you glory right now!! Love to all!!
Kathi...that is alot on your plate with the pain :( take care...and your mom's anniversary too..wow 6 mons HUGS
Hey Tina see you tonight
ok...going walking around the lake now :)
GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO.....YAAAAY BRENDA!!!
Yup; six months....at times I can't believe that it's been that long, but at others, I can't believe just how fast it's gone by
I'm REALLY struggling to keep my eyes open/stay awake; might have to go to bed EXTRA early tonight
Good luck with your game tonight, Tina
YUUUUMY...I'm having a Lean Cuisine for dinner (Cheddar Potatoes with Brocoli - it's Friday, so no meat for me)

and still have more in the box... waiting to meet the world!!!!!
Good morning!
Just stopped by to say hello! How is everyone?
I entered my info on the calorie counter up top on the blog, and I would say to be very cautious using it....I think it's a bit liberal for someone trying to lose weight. I entered moderate activity (which I think mine tends to be heavy) and it said I would need 2090 calories to maintain my current weight, 1590 to lose a pound a week, and that I burn 1300 calories a day, just lying in bed. I have been monitoring my calories and I am taking in about 1350 calories a day, and exercising a lot, and I am maintaining my current weight. I cannot imagine what I would weigh if I consumed 2100 calories a day. Every body is different, but I was surprised at these numbers.
