Hello everyone,
still recovering from my 7 mile walk yesterday. Just tired. Just why can't I ever sleep in on my days off. Back to work again. Need to be extra villgilant w/ my evening job. Someone got assaulted in my neighborhood. Just finding out now, it happened last Friday. I think the town should have warned us earlier. . I always keep my outdoor light on. Will just be extra careful in my surroundings.
Need to get my water back up to par

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Good morning everyone, I got a great walk in yesterday. I hope to do the same again today. I am going to my weekly chiropractor appointment this morning. I am needing it, my neck is hurting a little. Other than that nothing much planned for the day.

Lizzy: BE CAREFUL GIRL!!! I hope that whoever got assaulted is ok, and they catch the creep. Have a great day!

Everyone else to follow later, have a great one.

Do y'all realize there are only 9 days until Turkey Day? Where has the year gone?

Hello All-

My bosses were back from being gone for a whole month so yesterday was pretty hectic. I did come and lurk but didnt have time to post. DH had to work late so that meant going to the grocery store late with the whole family. My kids were terrible. Ive never seen them act this horrific in the store before. I was truly embarrassed. I was the mom with the out of control kids. Okay enough about that I did get in 7000 steps yesterday so that is good. I think tonight when I get home DD & I will go for a 30 min walk. Food has been okay but I am determined to get out of the 200's before XMas since we have a wedding on the 22nd of December and I have nothing to wear and no $$$ to buy anything new. Okay enough of my rant. So today I am gonna stay within my points/calories & concentrate on water. UGH bosses came in bbl to finish........

Erin: I'm sure your kids weren't that bad. We always think our kids are worse in other people's eyes. Hang in there friend! ~~~get out of the 200 vibes~~~ You can and will do this! {{{HUGS}}} to you!

Man....I just lost this huge post! grrrr

OK....breakdown......Erin..we ALWAYS think our kids are worse than they are! ((((HUGS))))....trust me on that!

Dr this morning.....PT not helping...tore the ACL again. Surgery or brace at all times the only option.....apparently I am going surgery with some PT in the meantime. They will have to do Orthro on the bottom part to get at the cartilidge and then cut me open on top, take part of my muscle and attach it to the kneecap to stabilize it. Now we truly know why I was in such pain when I was firming. Ugh. The other downside of this is I have to wait until next summer to have this done when Kevin is home. There is just no way no how I can manage the kids and their activities and resting up the leg without him here.

OK...on the work front. My plan of CYA (cover your ass) is working! I just got bitched at by one of the bosses "why did you short pay this? Don't you understand you have to pay this bill in full every month? I don't understand why you would do that....blah blah blah." So of course I am like WTF!?!? So I go and pull the original invoice and take one look and go back in that office and tell boss "ummmm I really can't tell you why it would be short paid, but perhaps you could tell me? Look at the note you put on here telling me to short pay it".....and there was a note on boss' paper with bosses signature advising me as such! heheheheheheehehehehe Would you like some milk with that fat piece of humble pie?

Alrighty.....gotta run.

Have a good day!

Oh Jen, how sweet was that! LOL!!! Bummer about the knee though. I wish you could get it taken care of quickly so that you can get back to being Jen! Hang in there.

I just got back from the chiropractor and man do I feel great. Now I have to be sure to go walking so that I don't get sore.

On another note has anyone tried the "Red" work out thing? My uncle bought one and is trying to talk my mom into trying it. I am gonna go look it up I guess.

Hey kids, I think the plague has FINALLY left our house. I went back to the gym this morning and was able to get 30 minutes of cardio in before I was done, wheezing, chest heavy. I'm trying to be careful not to relapse.

Jen-ooohhh, isn't the CYA great when it works. I used to have similar issues with a boss who would change her story ALL the time, basically because she was so disorganized that she never had any clue what she was telling me. I had to start a system of emailing her minutes from our discussions, with a list of tasks "just for her reference", so that I had a record I could point back to.
Sorry about the knee. That's a long time to wait for surgery. You're going to have to be REALLY careful. I think the swimming thing is an even better idea given your timeline and limitations. Water aerobics probably not a good idea though...even though you're in water, you're still putting stress on the knee.

Lizzy-7 mile walk, you go girl. Be careful out there. Get some pepper spray if you can. Maybe Ex can teach you some basic self defense moves???

Time for me to get back on track now that the plague is gone. I decided that I can't wrap my brain around the meetings here (can you say B-O-R-I-N-G). I know I've said that before, but it just feels so frustrating and like a waste of time. So, I've put both dh and I on a 1200 cal per day base. If we earn calories we can eat them, but if we don't, we eat our 1200 and that's it. Mostly fruits and veggies. I'm having a protein shake for breakfast every morning and some fruit. I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. How did that happen?

OK, back to work for me.
Peas,
Sue

Hello everyone,
work is getting busier. It's now officially open enrollment for our plan. We'll see how this yr goes. Starting to feel a little stiff from that long walk yesterday, but not too bad. Got macy's tomorrow but then have the next day off so I can sleep in a little. We have a luncheon tomorrow. I think I'll bring in my own salad. we'll see how that goes.

Cheryl- they say the woman is ok, she managed to get away from him, grabbed her cell phone and locked herself in her bathroom. I ride that street everyday going to work. this happened in the middle of the day too. I think he knew that she came home for lunch every day. Scary. Just wish the authorities let the info out sooner.
Erin- ugh about the kids!!!
Jen- ugh about the knee, too bad you couldnt do it sooner. Like w/ mom w/ her hip, still don't know if she'll be able to have an operation down in FL. The 1st dr didn't give too much hope replacing the hip replacemnt
Good for you for keeping those records. hee hee to the boss. My knee still twinges too, was acting up @ the end of my walk yesterday, my main thing is to loose this darn wt. that'll help big time
Sue- being as careful as I can. know some things from Ex. good luck getting back on track

alrighty got my exercise now finishing up my water.
did anyone see the newstory on sandra day oconnor's husband w/ alzheimers. I hate what happens w/ this disease. I would be sick if that happened to my husband.

take care everyone
Lizzy
