Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[lovinaz]

and had a rum & coke for dinner.

Now that's my kind of dinner!

Good for you joining the October Challenges. It's time to put Marie first for a change. Today is a new month and I know you can reach both those challenge goals you have set for yourself.

I'll catch back up with you next weekend when I get back from my trip! I want to see DEDICATION and GOOD CHOICES while I'm gone, OK?!?!?!?

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey, Marie! Hope you are having a wonderful day!! I think I might join the exercise challenge this month too. It is time to get it back into gear!

PD for you and your extended family!! Hope everything works out for all of you. Take care of yourself and your hearing!! It is VERY important!

BTW, you were right about the DH, DD thing being for Disney... Here is the link http://www.wdwinfo.com/abbreviations.htm It says it can mean Dear, Darling, or Disney! So you were not a DI after all I wasn't sure what it meant when I first came here either so I had to look it up.

Hmm... Rum & coke for dinner... I must say I'm a bit jealous I can't drink until Monday when I come off of call.... Maybe I'll have a vodka and coke dinner monday!

Well, lets get moving!! We can get back into gear and get the weight OFF!!! Day by day, little by little!!

Have a WONDERFUL week!!

Take care!

Well, tomorrow DH gets his gallbladder out!!
I'm so glad!!! The sooner it comes out, the sooner he gets better and the sooner he goes back to work!!!!!! I have a "Honey Do" list for him, but he won't even look at it!!! Really ticking me off!!! He could have done a few of the things I needed done this past week, but NOOOOOOO...
Oh well....I'll do them myself.
Ok...today was:
b-cinnamon roll
l-3 hushpuppies & 1 piece of fish (boss's dh made it... )
d-gonna be chicken puff things...(ds loves them...easy to make...chicken,sour cream,crescent rolls)
water-12 oz
sweet tea-32 oz
exercise-marathon housework....(in the process of that right now!!) Gonna go walking after DH & DS get home from soccer practice.

Kim & Jen - thanks for joining the challenges with me...hopefully I will stay with it. Things are evening out for me now....not feeling overwhelmed like the past few weeks...I think I can concentrate on me for a month!!

I weighed myself this morning....first time in a few weeks.
161. Last time I weighed....and at the LA weightloss place I was 165. I'll take the 4 lbs. loss!! I'll use 161 as my starting point for the 5lbs Challenge....wouldn't be fair to only have 1 pound to go on the first day of the month!!!

ok...gonna go do some housework....God knows i'm way behind!!! I got out my DD fall clothes yesterday...took ALL FRICKING DAY!!!! the kid has 18 pairs of jeans!!! WTH!!! She get hand-me-downs from sis#1 and sis#1 buys ALOT of stuff!!! I'm not complaining...I just need bigger closets!!!
I've got 2 BIG bags ready for goodwill, and I took a tub to my boss for her niece!!! it's unbelievable!!!

ok...catch ya'll later!!!

Hey Marie...I'm SO glad that your DH is having his surgery tomorrow! He is gonna be feeling much much better in no time. He'll be in my thoughts tomorrow.

As far as the challenge...and to quote HS Musical..."We're all in this together". (I can't believe I just did that - Jen's gonna eat that up!)

I'm jealous of your DD's wardrobe! My DD has 1 pair of jeans because I can't seem to find any that fit her right.

Good luck tomorrow!

1-I'm glad he's getting it done tomorrow too!!! I threatend to find a rusty butter knife and remove it myself!!!

2-Yeah...you're a dork!!! I never did sit down and watch it...of course I heard the music a BILLLION times blaring from her room!!!

3-What size is she?? I'll send you some!!! DD has TOOO many clothes!!! Can never decide what she wants to wear today!!! There are some days that I wouldn't mind them having uniforms!!! I should take a picture of her closet...you would freak out!!!

I'll tell DH that you're thinking of him....that way he'll go under with a smile!!!

Em's a size 7 super duper slim (if only that was an option). The 7 slims are still huge on her waist, but 6 slims are too short. Oh, it's such a curse to be skinny.

She's not hurting in any other department, it's just the jeans this year. Maybe if I was willing to spend $40/pair at the Gap she'd be ok. I'm just too cheap. She's really into the leggings...so I just gotta get out & get her some more of those. Show off those bird legs!

...and you know that's NOT what I meant with your DH!!

 

[lindalinda]

water-12 oz

I'm pretty sure, if you swallow your spit , you can get more than 12 oz. of water!

Congrats on the weight loss !

 

[kmp1191]

ya know....between Kim & Linda, I'm sitting here laughing out loud!!! My dd looked at me like I had a third eye!!!

Thanks guys....I needed that!!!

(and Kim....let the man's mind wonder....he's having surgery for goodness sake!!!!)


I'll check in when we get home.
Have a good one!!!!

[kimwim8]

Here's to a successful surgery and a speedy recovery (so he can get to that honey-do list).

 

[lovinaz]

How did DH's surgery go? I hope all is well.

My DD has tons of clothes too. I just can't pass up a really cute outfit. I have a hard time finding anything for DS that doesn't make him look like a street thug. It doesn't matter anyway, he could have 30 pairs of shorts and still want to wear the same, dirty ones all week...

Great news on the loss, keep it up!

 

[kimwim8]

Hopefully everything went great and you're just being the sensitive, caring wife and taking care of your hubby....and THAT's why you haven't posted an update. So we forgive you.

 

[kmp1191]

Yes, I have been the sensative, caring wife, and yes, we just got home 15 minutes ago!!!!!
Got there at 8:40....got called back to a room at 9:15.....went in for surgery at 1:20.....got done at 2:30.....recovery for an hour, then back to the room....he was still fuzzy....was ready to go at 5-5:30ish, but NO ONE could get ahold of the doctor!!! Come to find out he was at another hospital in surgery and his pager wasn't connecting in the OR. Anyway, he finally called and we were released!!! Stopped and got DH a fruit smoothie from Sonic and now we're home!!!
What a day!!! I hate hospitals!!! Everyone was really, really nice, but I still don't like being there!! I don't think any normal person does...

Anyway, he is sitting on the couch, scratching the dogs head, looking VERY tired. I'm gonna go tuck him in.

I'll holler at ya'll tomorrow....thanks for thinking bout us today....I got all the telepathic messages. (either that or the ringing in my ears has turned to talking..... )

Glad DH's surgery went well. I was thinking about you today. Hospitals are the pits, aren't they? Unless you are having a baby, there is nothing good about being there. I am glad you had nice people though. That does help. Sounds like you are surviving being sensitive, caring wife role well too! I highly recommend a strong sedative for DH and a stronger drink for you ...

 

[kimwim8]

Marie - I'm SO glad everything went well. Hopefully he can be comfortable in the next few days as he comes off the meds. Put on your nurses outfit, woman!!

You know where to find me if you need me. And if you can't get a hold of me, call Captain Morgan. He's always a HUGE help!

 

[lovinaz]

I'm glad all went well. Be sure to really take care of him, since he will be taking care of you after you have yours! Set a good example!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks again guys!!! DH is doing good. He decided that he was feeling well enough to DRIVE to the grocery store. I referred to him as DA....you figure it out!! He's a little tired tonight....sore too. He said it feels like he did 100000000 crunches. I said, Gee, why don't you go the the grocery store again!! Anyway, I'm being nice....it's really hard, but I'm doing it!!

Man, I am tired!! I didn't sleep well last night at all, and EVERYONE got on my nerves today! I had a little snap-attack at work....everyone thinks they have to talk loud now, and it just gives me a headache...then you have everyone talking loud, and talking loud over each other.... I finally said....quite loudly "WILL YA'LL SHUT UP...PLEASE!!!" Everyone pretty much looked at me...but at least they shut up!!! My boss just smiled, because I said what she was thinking!! Geez, it was just really getting on my nerves....BAD!!! I left at 3:30....had to go get the kids since DA/DH isn't supposed to be driving!!! Gave me an excuse to get out early.

So, food today....
b-bagel w/ LF creme cheese
l-grilled chicken on wheat w/ 32 oz sweet tea
d-tomato soup & grilled cheese
water-48 oz
exercise-none.
I have got to get moving on the challenge....not gonna reach my goal by sitting on my @$$!!

I've got to pay some bills tonight...I'll check in later!

hi Marie-
Im glad you told them to shut up--sometimes people need to hear it!!

have a good night

 

[CACruisin']

Men! It is like they have to prove something by going to the store, etc. Then we get to deal with the inevitable backlash of them doing too much, too soon. Hang in there Marie. You are doing a great job. And Amy is right, it will be your turn to be the patient soon enough and someone can take care of you for a change.

By the way .... back away from the sweet tea! You did so good on your challenge. Don't go back to that dark place!
