It's prep time

Well..here we go. The day before...what a loooooong day this is going to be. But, Kim just told me that her Mom made me a tray of lasagna and some other italian goodies. The day is shaping up! I think I found my holidayish feeling again. Just in the nick of time too! Oh...and...I went shopping yesterday...and bought new jeans...SIZE 14 thank you very much! So much to be thankful for these days!!

Another Day Closer

Another day closer to Thanksgiving...great...just great....as Judi told me...we should ride the roller coaster with a bottle of Pinot in hand....mine WON'T be under my coat...trust me on that one! Hope you're closer than I am and more ready than I am for the big day. But...trust me...I will pull it off because...I just went and bought a kick ass outfit. Who gives a shit what the food is but damn...I'll look good!!

I'm trying...I really am

Somewhere along the way I lost my "Holidayish" feeling. This sucks. Thanksgiving is creeping up with a vengence and I'm stressed. Frank and I seem to be getting sick again. Not good right before Turkey Day. To top it off...I lose today to the Squad because of my duty night. Tuesday and Wednesday...well...I better get ready for some long days.

Life's good...

Yes, it truly is. Everyone is healthy (knock on wood). My weight is going in the right direction. Thanksgiving should be a good day full of family and friends. But today I'm on duty for the squad and hoping for a quiet day. Later on I'm meeting a couple of ladies that I always scrapbook with at the squad and we're making cards. These ladies are in their early 30's, having children and bring back great memories of classroom parties, Halloween parades and all that good stuff. I really didn't want to make these cards but you know....I'm glad I am! Enjoy your Sunday.

TGIF...In a new way!!

Well...It's almost a Friday with a new meaning. I ate dinner with Frank and the boys tonight like a "regular" LapBand patient. My -.6 adjustment did wonders. I feel human again....Oh...and the best part...the dress pants that "never" fit...do fit...holy crap...things are happening. I wonder if I found my feet again with my LapBand...wouldn't it be nice??? Judi...get ready...I think it may be time to send some "motivational items" that could work now out...Wow...am I back in LapBand Land? I sure hope so!! Tomorrow is our weigh in at work...what a great way to keep me accountable with my Kim. It works better than Weight Watchers. I don't seem to fit in there. Kim knows me and understands me...I just love that Little One!! Wish me luck...regardless of the numbers....things are changing...in the form of sizes....and the boost of self confidence...hell...that is rocking my socks!!

Secret:::: Mariah Carey has been my idol through this process of getting back on track...I love her music!!

PS - Mariah may say "All I want for Christmas is you" but me...All I want for Christmas is....a waistline!! Seriously!! I am taking Zumba classes twice a week to make this happen. I know there's a waist line in there somewhere...I felt it tonight...In class...it's there. I just need to bring it out!!

The Power of Positivity

I don't have much to blog about today. My adjustment from yesterday has left my port site extremely sore. I don't think I'll see that Dr again for an adjustment.

It seems that lately all of us are feeling stress from one avenue or another. It may be work, financial, relationships or all of the above. Why does this start right before the Holiday season? The Holidays can bring on enough stress for everyone. So, I thought I'd post something on positivity instead. I found my book The Secret and I am reading it again. I have time right now since I have no heat and I am waiting for the Gas Company (not mine of course!!) to come and fix it. But....I'm going to be positive. It's giving me time to spend with my dogs and straighten the place up a bit. I am lucky to have the option of working from home also.

Let's try an excerpt from the book. It's from Bob Proctor.

"Everything that's coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted to you by virtue of the images you're holding in your mind. It's what you're thinking. Whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you."

For me, I'll try and focus on this statement today and also focus on the images of positivity....not being a shit magnet. Hope it works....

Crisis Averted

Today I wound up in the hospital under flouro getting my band checked again. Thank God....no issues. The Dr removed .6 cc's and I feel better. Still tight but better.....
