Marie's New Years Resolution~in July

[lindalinda]

Sounds like a fun day Marie! So what was your bowling score? Did you break 100? I usually get in the high 70s


I dont do the nascar thing. No idea who that is you are talking about, but I hope they are ok...BTW its BASKETBALL season! and my team won again!
Of course I was at work so I really didnt see it, but they won anyway!

Do you like having all your floors tile? I have never seen that, I have nasty carpet and I hate it! I want to get hardwood in the rest of the downstairs (half is already), but I think it would be too expensive for me to do anything but carpet upstairs. OOps I'm rambling again. sorry about that.

Great job staying on your plan with the bowling outing! I'm sure there were some deep-fried temptations there!

You are doing so great, when are you going new clothes shopping??

 

[kmp1191]

Ya know....that's a good question....when am I going shopping? hhhhmmmmm Maybe this weekend...we'll see how the weigh in on Saturday goes.

Linda...we bowled 3 games...my first score was 138...dh was 139!! (we do the bumper bowling for the kids!) The next 2 games I was doing bad on purpose so the kids would win...kinda hard to do bad w/ the bumpers up!!

Ok...so on to today....I kinda had a rant this evening while walking w/ DH. Well, not kinda...it was a full blown rant.
I got a text message this morning from my "friend" Amy. (no one on these boards!)(she is a single parent, and part time college student) It said, "I need cash...tell DH to take you out to dinner so I can babysit!" Yes, she is that tacky! I didn't respond. She called a couple hours later and said she was just joking. I said, "no you weren't, but it doesn't matter, we're not going out, and I don't have any cash to loan you." (I've loaned her $$$ over the years, but stopped when she refused to be put on a budget.) ANYWAY~she says, "can you babysit for me on Friday nite, and can she (her DD) spend the night?" WTH!! I told her I had a shoot on Saturday (I don't) but that if she couldn't find anyone else, then ok, but her DD would have to be gone by 10am. (and no, she wouldn't be paying me, she obviously doesn't have the money.) (She is going to college and has mid-terms or finals or something on Saturday morning, so she wants to study. And yes, she knows that if she goes out partying instead of studying, I will severely hurt her!) I'll know tomorrow if I'm trapped or not.
Then last week another "friend" calls and needs a warm body to go to a makeup home party. I hate these. I told her I didn't want to go, but she is the type of person that keeps on and on and on and on until you finally cave and say FINE, I'LL GO!!...then she's all happy. She is also the type that will call you EVERY FRICKIN DAY until the day of to see if you are really coming. I have not answered her calls 3 of the last 5 days. Yes, I'm horrible, but crimeny!! I said I'll be there, leave it alone. Tonight she called AGAIN. I answered. She said "Are ya still comin' tomorrow?" me-"If I absolutely have to." her-"giggle". me-"You do realize that I really REALLY do not want to go, I will not be buying anything, and I truely find it a waste of my time, don't you?" (i said it in a not so nice voice) She said, "yeah, but I need a warm body" me-"Gee, glad I can be of service to you - FRIEND!" (very snarky) She said that she appreciated it. whatever.
Anyway, I told DH that I'm so sick and tired of the only time people calling me is when they need/want something! The only person that calls to see how I am is my mom! (and sister in AL). I ranted for the full 2 1/2 miles. DH just listened. I'm still PO'd. I don't think I'm gonna answer my phone anymore. I'm tired of being there for everyone else and no one being there for me!

Ok...my psychotic episode is over. Just feeling a little out of sorts today. I have a dr. appt tomorrow.....Gyne...yeah.

Oh, and I know I have friends here, and I appreciate every single one of you....just wish ya'll lived closer!

So...quickly..cuz this is too long now... food for today
b-jc banana nut muffin
l-jc chicken & noodles (kinda like dumplings/soup)
s-banana
d-jc ravioli florentine
water-80 oz
exercise-2 1/2 mile walk-(29:48)...yes, i was a little upset.

yes, i feel better.

love ya'll!

Congrats on the 'even steven' weigh in, Marie! Sometimes, that's just what we need!

Glad you had fun bowling. Exchanging your kitchen table for air hockey sounds like an AWESOME idea!

Have a great rest of the week!

 

[kimwim8]

I know what you mean about friends calling only when they need something. I've had several of those lately too. You're definitely more honest with them then I am with mine. I think mine might get the hint if I was snarky like you.

Food, water and exercise looked AWESOME today. YOU ROCK!!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

Maybe it's something in the water? I have had people calling me for things too. It's very frustrating for me because these people would not reciprocate if I was the one who needed something. If I say no, then I become the bad guy. Very frustrating...

Your food and exercise look good! Great job on weigh-in too!

I hope today is a much better day for you, WISH sis!

 

[kmp1191]

Hi guys!
Went to the Gyne today. Yeah...loads of fun there! He got mad at me after I told him about the cancer history w/ my mom. He told the nurse to schedule a mamogram, a colonoscopy and an appointment w/ a Geneticsits...(sp?) before the end of the day. (He wasn't humored that I have put it all off...the mamogram for 2 yrs... ) So, the nurse has called me 3 times...so far my mamogram is on April 9, and they are still getting the other 2 scheduled.
Does anyone know what a Genetics Dr. does? Apparantly my Gyne wants to know what my risks are. (mainly for Breast cancer) He said that some of his patients have tested positive for being a carrier of the gene, and have opted for a total masectomy and implants. Wow...that would have to be something to think long and hard about.
Anyway, I'll keep ya'll informed about all that when the time comes.

Food today -
b-jc b-fast scramble (eggs,cheese,hashbrowns)
s-string cheese thingy
l-jc turkey chili
d-jc pizza
s-later tonight will be jc sour dough bites....
water-60 oz so far
exercise-none...i have to go sit through the makeup stuff!

ok...wanted to get all that done before I left.
OH...need p&pd for Lisa. My co-worker that had hip replacement surgery today. We found out around 4:30 that she was in recovery and that everything had gone well. Just keep her in your thoughts...she's got a long road ahead of her.

Thanks ya'll
marie

 

[lindalinda]

A geneticist will test you for a gene marker for cancer. If you have it, they may ask if you want to to preemptive treatment. What kind of cancer does your mom have? Anyway, before you do this, make sure it wont affect your insurance. If you keep the same insurance, it should be ok, but I know you said something about moving, and if your insurance were to change, they can use this kind of info to deny coverage. I know this sounds paranoid, but make sure. Insurance co.s are evil.

Have fun at the "patry"

Take a pic and show us your new makeup.

 

[kimwim8]

Lisa will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. Hip surgery can not be fun.

Great job with the food again today! Looks to me like you're sticking to the plan. That breakfast sounds pretty darn good! And sourdough bites....YUM!

Have fun at the makeup party. You know you'll be the life of the party once you get there!

 

[CACruisin']

Great job at the bowling alley! What fun and you did great food wise. My DH wants an air hockey table in the worst way, but they are so big. I'm not even going to tell him about your idea of swapping out the kitchen table . Bummer on the so called "friends", but at least the rant made for a great walk pace . Aren't gyn appt's fun? I have my post-op appt this afternoon.

Hang in there Marie. You are absolutely awesome right now with your exercise, your eating and even drinking water (and not sweet tea )

 

[kmp1191]

Linda-my mom's most recent cancer was rectal cancer. she had breast cancer 3+ yrs ago. I don't think I'm going to go to the geneticist dr. I agree about the insurance issues up/down the road. Besides, I really don't think I want to know at this point.

The "party" was ok. I just don't like going to those things. I did buy some "serum & lotion" for DH's feet... I had one glass of wine, 3 squares of cheese, and 2 wheat thins. Oh, and I didn't have my JC dinner last night either. Ran out of time at home. So I don't feel like I did too bad at the party.

Lisa's surgery went well. I talked to her today and she is tired, but feeling ok....considering. She'll be in for a few more days, then many, many weeks of therapy and recovery.
Man, i'm tired tonight.....

B-jc cranberry almond cereal
s-jc anytime bar
l-jc chicken salad w/ crackers & applesauce
d-jc cashew chicken
water-60 oz
exercise-none....was test driving a car and having it checked out by a mechanic friend.

DH & I have been talking about getting a second car....someone traded in a 2001 Nissan Maxima w/ 55K miles on it. Pretty nice...we'll see what happens tomorrow.

ok...i think that's it for today.
i'm going to bed.

Hi Marie,

I think you did a great job at the party. I'm not into those kind of parties either. I'd rather have someone had me a catalog, let me look over it, and order if I want to. I always feel pressured to order something at those parties.

Keeping Lisa in our prayers as she recovers....

That's great that you might get another car! My DH and I are thinking about getting another car too, but we have to wait and see how our taxes turn out first.

Hope you have a great day!

 

[lovinaz]

I don't know how you guys can survive with only 1 car! But I guess if we only had one, we'd make it work, huh?? I hope that works out for you!

You are doing awesome sticking with your plan! Please send some of that dedication my way, I need it!!

 

[kmp1191]

Amy- the car thing...DH has a take home "car". As soon as he gets in it in the morning, he's on duty. It has worked fine for us, but after the last van was totalled, and we didn't have a vehicle I could drive. Also, we can't take DH's vehicle out of state, so if he has a family issue and needs to go home, we're out of luck. Oh, and we did get the car! I love it! Leather, sunroof, spoiler!! It's hot!! (and cheap!!)

Lisa is doing well. I haven't talked to her yet....tried calling 3 times and no answer.

So, today....busybusybusy!!
Food -
B-jc blueberry muffin
L-jc bbq meatloaf
D-jc chicken sandwich
S-later tonight jc brownie

[toystoryduo]

extras-4 whoppers (the candy!!)

When I first read this, I thought you were talking about the sandwich! Glad it was just the candy. You're doing a great job Marie.... I bet you will reach your goal soon! Keep up the good work!

 

[kimwim8]

OMG...are any of you watching American Idol??? Did Kelli Pickler get some new ****s or what??!! And can the dress be any tighter??

Uh, YEAH! Ryan was hysterical when he asked her what she's spent her money on!!

 

[kmp1191]

Ok....weighed in this morning.....



down 2 more pounds!!! (actually it was 1.9..I rounded it!)
151.5!! Dang I feel good!!!

I was pretty excited about the loss! I've stuck to the plan this week, with the exception of a piece of b-day cake yesterday. (co-worker turned 70!)
I called DH after my weigh in and he was so happy for me!! It felt good for him to congratulate me. He usually says good job or something, but today he was like "That's great honey! I'm proud of you!"

So, anyway....the plan for this week is to do more muscle workouts....abs, hips, weights...etc. Time to really get stuff toned up!!

DH will be out of town on Wednesday & Thursday (back thursday afternoon), so I'll make Wednesday my off day...otherwise it will be walking and toning!

ok...so that's all for now!
marie

 

[Blueeyes101817]
