Hello to all ~ I'm here with my weekly post, lol. Since we have several new members who have joined over the past few weeks, I'll give a brief update just to let you all know what's going on with me.

I have an incisional hernia (due to old gallbladder surgery), and I'm scheduled to have it repaired soon (probably August). I've been letting this go for some years now, so it's gotten larger and become more of a problem. Lately I haven't been feeling well, and since my CT scan I'm under strict dr.'s orders not to lift, bend, stretch, reach, etc. and have also been advised to stay off the treadmill.

Needless to say, I'm a little frustrated. My motivation has taken a nosedive and I've been pretty much maintaining over the past several weeks (except recently when I lost a pound after having been sick), but at least I haven't gained back any of the weight I lost.

I miss being here on the forum, I really miss my buddies and I'm looking forward to geting to know my new fellow team members, but I just haven't had or made any time for myself at all lately. My little boy had been having some behavioral issues (he's 5½ and has autism), so I began a home therapy program with him and it takes up a lot of my time. Especially now where he's off from school; he'll be starting his new school next month for the summer program.

In other news, I'm trying to get my home cleaned up, rearranged, and organized, which is *really* difficult when I've been warned not to lift or bend etc. But my son's godmother is supposed to be coming to stay with us so she can help out when I have surgery, and I don't even know where she's going to sleep, and her son may be coming with her as well, and I also just want to have things in somewhat decent order since after the surgery I won't be doing much of anything for awhile... and... and... and I'm a little overwhelmed, I guess. And long-winded, as you can see (lol).

But overall things are okay, I'm just letting you guys know why I'm not around. Miss and love you all

I know some of you are having surgery soon, too. I'm thinking of you. I know some of you are going through some really tough times lately and I'm also thinking of you. I wish I could respond to all the posts I've read on the last two threads, but I'm not even comfortable sitting here in front of the computer (leaning sideways lol). I just want to say that all of you are in my thoughts.

Jen & Fiona, you both are in my prayers right now. I hope things get better for you both. Fiona, I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but I went through this with my best friend who had the same issue. I know it doesn't feel like it now, but eventualy it will get better.

Hey everyone! I know it's a surprise for me to be on here on a Saturday! LOL! Jen it was so great to hear from you! So I finally figured out what was makin me so sick. It was my sinuses drainin into my stomach! Yuck! I threw up after work yesterday and it was all my food plus some nasty green stuff! TMI I know. But at least I know what it was and I am feelin somewhat better! YAY! So anyway, I am gonna try somethin different this week. I have been postin weekly goals but now I am gonna try postin daily goals instead. Maybe that will keep me somewhat on track. I gotta go for now! Talk to everyone later!

Hey Alicia! That sounds perfectly awful ~ I'm so glad you're feeling at least a little better

Fiona, if you see this, you're in my thoughts (((big hugs)))

Cathy, how are you doing?

Don't anyone worry about me, I'm fine, I just wanted to let you guys know what's up with me. Mainly the newer team members, because Lord knows most of you have heard about my situation 15 times already (lol). But I try to post at least once a week just so everyone knows what's going on and why I'm not around much, and that I'm always thinking of you all.

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!!

Well done on all the losses.

I lost 5lbs this week and treated myself to 24 litres of bottled water! YAY!

Goals for this week:

*Keep drinking the water.
*Continue surviving without Aspartame.
*Get a 30 min walk in every other day.
*Stay with the positive attitude and enjoy the new frame of mind.

Looking forward to getting on the scale on Friday and it being another 2lbs down haha

Much Love All

Jen--hey girl...sounds like you've got a lot going on. All that and yours still maintaining...damn girl, you rock!! I hope things go well with that summer program helps your boy.

Alicia--good luck with your daily goals. Glad your feeling better!

Guys, I tell ya...I couldnt believe what Mel, my younger sister, did for us. She called and was wanting a grocery list. I thought, you dont know how to make one or what? So, I asked her, huh...what for? She said it was for me. I was still confused. I told her, any money she got she needs for her and those babies. She was like, I wanna do this, its no big deal, to help yall out. I'm sitting in the parking lot in a neighboring city with tears rolling down my face when she told me that. Guys her and my hubby went to the grocery store and Mel got us almost $500 in groceries today!!!! Cabinets, ice box, and deep freeze are all filled to the brim with food! Later, my sister called my hubby back and asked if he wanted to BBQ. Well, hubby already planned on grilling our dinner. So, while I was at the movies...they (my sister, and 4 kids, and her hubby) came over and had dinner with Brandy (my baby). It was so funny he said, 2 of the tots had rib bones they were gnawing on and Heather was like...MORE and Rachael was like yeah, More! lol. Made hubby feel good.

I went to the neighboring city to watch movies. The taking of Pelham 123 and the proposal....they were both good movies.

My goals....

GET SOME SLEEP!

Keep drinking water.

Eat healthier.

Happy Saturday FANATICS! I'm only on for a minute...MIL moved in today. Very disruptive......but I'm staying positive....the kids love the thought of Grandma being in the house.

I'll be on more tomorrow to post some challenges for the week and my goals. (((hugs))))
