tues support group

went to year out and beyond support group last nite, good meeting, we discussed emotional baggage. can't go into details but i am glad i went to that meeting. Afterwards went on a walk with a friend, then out to supper at mcdonalds, had the grilled chicken, tossed the bun, did not even have one bite of it!!!!!! did eat the lettuce, spot of mayo and tomato slice. 

Today just had chicken at the mex restaurant in kiel with hubby and am setting down to work on my card swaps and pages with a coffee and some pink lemonade, sf of course!

exercised using the ball and weighs this morning, then made some scrambled eggs with onions and tomatoes for breakfast, and had a protein shake in there somewhere around exercise time.

Please pray for my friends who have lost their jobs

Please can you add a couple of my friends to your prayers? They have recently lost their jobs. Geri and Joan. Thanks so much!

My headaches we think are caused by the birthcontrol pill I am on so Im going off it to see if thats the cause. It was just regulating my periods anyway (had tubal) and the ob's office nurse said that lots of women get hormone headaches! I never heard of it but am willing to try anything. I'm on day 8 of the headache now. Hopefully this will do the trick!

Am going back on the (our) pre-surgery diet, 1 cup or 3-4 oz protein, 1/2 cup veggie and 1/4 cup fruit per meal. Gotta email the dietitian and ask about veggie at breakfast LOL. Break out the measuring cups! I like the collapsable ones, they tuck into my purse or bag easily. Had Applebees last nite, their 7 oz sirloin with cheese and shrimp on top, cut in half and boxed up right away, half the veggies an the fries I brought home for the boy. The rest of the steak/shrimp was my lunch today. 

Took a walk with dd Tina today and the 2 dogs, one in the dog stroller and the other walking till she got tired. Daughter Tina is expecting so I'm gonna be a grandma! We are very excited and hopefully together she and I can exercise for ourselves (and her for the baby!). The dogs did ok in the stroller so we'll do it again. Am off to paint some signs for church!

Have a great day all! Sun shining now and going to warm up this weekend--yeah!
