Happy Friday everyone!
Shelley how is your Mom today? I know how busy it gets at work when someone is getting ready to leave on vacation. Seems like my work doubles for that individual and since you just work for one it has to be really bad. I have 15 faculty I work for and several are from other countries. I like it when the ladies go back home because they buy me presents, so do my graduate students. Just small trinkets or scarves but I love it. I have one faculty member from India and he is a nut, just really funny. LOL! He is funny but I think he has schizophrenia and when it rears its ugly head it is very hard to deal with him because he thinks everyone is spying on him. He has even come to my office to use my phone because he thinks his is bugged. He has even gone to the point of saying our Chairperson is driving by his house at all hours of the night to see what he is doing and the President of the university has the campus police staking out his house.
Rachel sorry to here your little one is sick. Nebulizars are can be a pain because the little ones don't like to sit but they do work wonders. My OGS has troubles off and on and has his own now. Boy those can be expensive and he got to the point we could con him into sitting but not always. Hope she is feeling better soon.
I am excited next week I am putting up the tree, tradition because its a long weekend for me. I was amazed that the Grinch was already on, the cartoon version. GS love it and then we put the moving in and he lost all interest. He didn't know it but he has a Grinch stuffed animal so I gave it to him while he watched the move. At the end he knew what the stuffed animals name was. LOL! It was cute.
Mel everything is baby steps but like you said your body is letting you know when you are not doing right so be careful. Even with no medical conditions, my body knows when its time to eat and I better eat or I suffer low blood sugar. I have to say that is not fun at all and even once you eat takes way to long to start feeling better. Oh, I bought a fruit tray that was on sale. I don't know how but they had ripe taste cantaloupe in it, haven't tried the honey dew yet and the pineapple is ripe. Someone else will have to eat the over fruits because they are not on plan.
Sue I took my nose stud out for about 45 minutes today and had a hard time getting it back in. Its not that it grows shut but if I leave it out the holes seem to get out of alignment and then I have to work to get the stud in and it hurts. I do have tiny ones but the post are so small the same thing happens when I go to put the big post back in. I may try the small one tomorrow though for a few hours. I do like my tiny ones and haven't gotten to wear them yet for more than a day. Then my nose ended up swelling up on me. ARG! I still say I like it and its worth it. I know most people say no way but I have wanted this since I was a kid. I know a lot of people ask about boogies get on it but they don't and I have no idea why. I do make sure its cleaned once or twice a day.
Well I did manage to stay away from all the ICK yesterday. At first it was very, very hard but by the end of the day I didn't even think about it. Small reward on the scale and I was a little disappointed but then I realized the lesson. If I would have eaten any of that ICK I would have either stayed the same or gained. So a little is better than nothing. I ended up being POP yesterday again. WHOHOO!
DH was made last night because he put ICK in the freezer for Thanksgiving Day and I told him no I wasn't eating any. He said yes you will. I said no I am not eating any and that is all there is to it. He said that just isn't right and I said "What Ever" (drives him nuts when I say that and at times I do the hand moves also the W E V with my fingers while I say it). Then when we went to bed he said he could tell I was working out again and have lost weight. I said yes but I have a long ways to go because 130 is my goal. He tried to convince me otherwise and I said no, that is my goal. It makes him feel really insecure because said men will be knocking down the door. I said I don't think so and I don't care, I love you and I am getting down to 130. The way I look at it maybe it will make him do something about his weight. I know this is gross and a bit racy but its hard to have relations and that is a big thing to him, with someone that carries weight the way he does and since I am still heavy it makes it even more of a challenge. Hopefully when I get to goal that in itself will make it easier.
Well I better get going for now and I will talk to you all later.
