hello
seems to be raining everywhere but here. We just got a few drips
and its been kind of mild...nice I would say.

I haven't heard from Teri so that means things are the same cuz she said she'd call if anything changed.

lilboo, I'll have to go find that thread
And yes i can enjoy a rainy day now and then myself

Hi pumba, I did that dump the clothes thingie last week. You have to do that every once in awhile and its like.....I can't believe I ever wore this.......sometimes because you think its ugly and sometimes because you can't believe you ever wore that size

Sue sorry you got called into work
I like your group hug thingie. That is so cute...Can I be the pink smilie ????

Ann we have the world series on at my house

 

[Poohlovr]

Heh heh heh...

I did not do the "dump the clothes" Instead, I did the "get the old clothes out because the new ones are too---BIG!!!!!!"

Yahoo!!! I have lost a full jeans size (and about 15 lbs). One or two more sizes to go and I shall be a happy Poohbear. A slim and trim Poohbear. A sexxxxxxxy Poohbear.

Yeah--I know. I shoulda quit while I was ahead ( before that last remark ).

Yes, Debbie--you can be the pink Smilie.

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

YIPPEE I get to be the pink one

OK Sue if you have lost 15 pounds you have the right to shout out any remarks you want....YOU DESERVE IT!!!!

Now tell me how you did it

 

[CookieGVB]

We spent about 4 or 5 hours on my closet today - now IT'S empty, and my room is totally trashed! Ah well - we did go through the clothes that were sitting in there in bags and bags and BAGS...and drove most of them over to the bins for the ASPCA today. I kept saving stuff thinking I was going to do a tag sale thingie...with the boys' clothes, and toys and such ...but - puh-leeze! There was stuff in there that hasn't fit them since we've moved down here! Off it went, along with clothes that I KNOW aren't fitting me...*sigh* I still have another storage bin to look through, along with the clothes hanging in my closet - what's going to be left???

Still thinking of Teri and family. Hope that things improve...

Ann, Sue...where IS that group hug thingie?

Sounds like Deb's the only one who isn't truly in need of one, but will come along for the ride!

 

[Poohlovr]

Now tell me how you did it

Stress. Pure, simple, unadulterated stress.
That's the only thing I can think of.
It's not easy living with Mike and Amanda. I either skip, or cut short, a lot of meals because of one or the other of them.
Maybe I should thank them???

The one negative thing I can see is that just 1 and 1/2 weeks ago, I got some clothes out of lay-away--including 4 pair of slacks at the larger size. I wore them and kept thinking they must run big, because I was forced to use belts with themc (even thought they fit when I tried them on before I bought them--STUPID). Duhhhh.....
Now, I have three pair of slacks that have been worn only once that are too big. (The 4th pair, I have not worn yet and can still exchange).

I am pretty excited about this. I'll be more excited if the weight continues to come off.

 

[NHAnn]

Wow sexy Sue, !!!

hhhmmmmppphhh...the stress/weight loss thing USED to work for me....but since my surgery over a year ago I have gained over 10 pounds, all of it in the torso...uugghhh....and stress doesn't take it off (she says as she finishes the slice of coffeecake for breaksfast ) Stress makes me eat bowls of ice cream or drink a glass of wine in the evening, which does not help. I woman I work with was advised by a dietician/nutrition type consultant that sometimes the female mid-body mid-life extra pounds that appear despite reasonable caloriie intake and excercise , can be lost/controlled by cutting out "white" stuff ! Like white bread, potatoes, pasta. (All my favorites of course) Substitute whole wheat bread products, sweet potatoes for regular, or smaller size potatoes which have less heavy starches (or sumpin) and they have whole wheat pasta which while it looks sort of funny doesn't really taste any different with the sauce on it. I'm forcing myself to have water instead of wine, and being more careful about desserts/snacks. We shall see what happens!

I have to do that closet cleanout/seasonal stuff today.........and clean out the garden......the sun is OUT yippee!

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

Thats what I have been doing all day....cleaning closets and Justins room....I am beat.
We threw out so much stuff that I think we threw out more than we kept
But its so much neater now

I used to lose weight when stressed about things. Now i walk 3 or 4 miles a day, 5 times a week and I don't lose nuttin I keep doing it though

 

[NHAnn]

Well, I never got the cleanig done but I did get the gardening done......now my back and legs are sore.....I need to get in shape...DD's soccer season ends this week, so I will tryto get to the gym after work 2 or 3 days a week again.
I'm tired and going to bed........night night everyone

 

[CookieGVB]

Room's still trashed, but who's gonna know? *DOH!* Only me...and...about 10,000 DIS readers!!!! Hey, I never claimed to be Hannah Homemaker.

I spent today doing the rest of the laundry, and yelling at my fighting children. Wish I could stop eating when I'm stressed...considering the fact that I'd come out of a COMA for a chocolate chip cookie...don't think that's an option...

Off to bed I go - at least I don't eat in my sleep.

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

good morning Hannah homemaker (Gail)
and everybody else

I feel all clogged up from breathing all the dust I raised yesterday cough cough
and I have a headache....yuck..... Monday morning blues

 

[NHAnn]

Good morning.

Did someone say cookies? Oh hi Gail
I bought this Nestle Toll House Dough stuff that is perforated into 20 squares (cookies) you break off how many you want, bake at 350 for 11 minutes..(you must put the rest BACK in the refrigerator hehehe). I made 6 Chocolate Chip with CARAMEL(mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) on Saturday. There's one left. I think I'll grab it on my way out to work hehehehe

have a good day everyone.....

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

if you're going to eat 5 chocolate chip cookies Ann...you may as well just eat the sixth......
I mean why leave one little cookie all by itself....
you already ate enough cookies to gain 3 pounds......may as well gain the 4th pound

beside when you go back to eat that LAST cookie....you're going to want more ....afterall nobody can eat just one

Oh thats Lay's potatoe chips

well you may as well eat a whole bag of those too ....
cuz you already blew your diet

 

[NHAnn]

Sheesh, mean Debbie, I said I made 6, I didn't say I ate all 6, (DD helped) though I did eat the LAST one this morning. And the two I ate yesterday were my lunch hehehehe SO calorie-wise my diet is intact....nutrition wise is another story

Anyone hear any news from Teri??

 

[scarlett873]

teri posted a message on the thread for prayers and pixie dust...

message from teri

just thought i'd let everyone know...

 

[disfanatiks]

Hello All,

Just stopping in for a quick moment. I ran to our house for more clothes. I posted on the thread which Ann started a little update. All is really about the same....We have seen some improvement...There is now no fever where is was once last week as high as 104, he was placed on a pressor (?) blood pressure med because they stated that without it he would have no blood pressure, he rec'd dialysis on Saturday, White cell count was at 40,000 and is now down to around 15,000, his heart rate was once at 156 beats per minute is now down to 70 - 90 range.....After dialysis this weekend...he is getting rid of a lot of fluid...he was supposed to have dialysis again this am, but kidney specialist said "no need"....and late on Saturday night the blood pressure med that had been decreased throughout the day was discontinued and he is maintaining his blood pressure at an "acceptable" range on his own....So these are small steps in what we hope will be a chance at recovery....It is really hard to say.

My mom does not leave the hospital at all. She just can't at this point....Last night was her first night alone at the hospital, but they actually let her stay in a chair all night in ICU.

Anyway...that is about all the news right now....This whole thing really blows me away. I feel like I am in moving in slow motion at this point. I am really just so tired as we all are at this point.

We are staying at my parents house still...for the dog and because it is a closer proximity to the hospital....

Thanks again for all of your support...I have been thinking about everyone....

No time to read all the posts right now...but it looks like you guys are having a fun time as always....Hopefully, I will be back having fun with you all one of these days....

Well, all the best and love to everyone,

Teri

 

[NHAnn]

Teri, my heart goes out to you. I know what you mean by the almost surreal "slow motion" feeling.

g' night everyone!

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

ditto to all of what Ann said
take care Teri

I knew you had posted here yesterday but I could not open this thread or any other. I posted on the on the one Ann started for Teri and then I couldn't post anywhere else. It was real slow all day and then last night , nothing. I hope it was the boards and not my computer...
but I was able to do other stuff so I figured it was the boards

Have a good Tuesday

 

[NHAnn]

Hi...happy Tuesday Debbie and everyone.
Can someone PM me and tell me what I missed last night causing all these "hurt feeling/emotion" threads again?

 

[Mickeyfaniam]

I have no idea so whomever knows...can PM me too

 

[Poohlovr]

Beats me....

Just glad that we never have all of that turmoil here.
Being anti-social and elitist (as we are ) does have its advantages.

Teri--Still a rough road for your dad, but lots of encouraging news.
Know that you and your family are still in my thoughts.
