Well we are now waiting - again - at a shippers for them to load us. It seems to be part of 'the life' - waiting. Of course there are things I 'should' do while we wait - like clean/straighten out the truck... or deal with e-mails... then I would have to look at the bills, and that gets depressing - LOL - who likes to be depressed?? Mmmm - no one is raising their hands - including me :) So instead I pick up the computer, or I take a nap... great escapes - but doesn't get anything accomplished... sigh...
I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving time - we have 10 days scheduled at home!! Yeah - that will cost a chunk of change, but it is needed - in more ways than one!
So far the 'winter' weather hasn't been too bad. We were caught in one storm that closed the roads - made our load late and we lost a preset over it. Other than that - just cold and windy - so we have been really lucky! We are in Nebraska now and will be heading to Illinois... again, cold and windy - overcast with scattered sprinkles... however crossing Wyoming last night it was down to 12* - I think that is about the coldest I have been in so far... I'm sure though it will get colder : /
Well I guess I should deal with some e-mail - but will probably get side tracked by Facebook, TTR Forum or the bed... I will be driving when we leave, so that will be my excuse for napping - yeah, yeah - that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
Oh I know what I didn't type about - my WLS and how that's going - guilty consious there I guess... we are out of calciums and I couldn't find the calcium citrate at Wally World - so we are being lax with that - also with just remembering to take our vits... and our protein supplements - yeah not so good there either. Weight wise - I'm back to 'doctor's goal'... 180... not really happy about that, but have no one to blame but myself. I tell myself "I will do better" and I do, for that hour or day - then back to where I'm struggling from now... the hand to mouth sydrome. We have been cooking in the truck some though. There are frozen omlets that we split and roll up in a tortilla to eat while we drive - or ham/cheese raps - we have been doing some carrots or sugar snap peas for snacks occasionally... not as often as we should though. Its like I'm addicted to nuts - LOL - mmmm food addiction?? ME?? Yeah - me... sigh... Also I'm needing to cut back on the amount of coffee. We both have 52oz mugs - and they get fill once and most times twice per day - EACH!! We are doing half decaf now - feeling better about that one.... So making steps back to the line we need to walk... I still would not change a thing about having the surgery though - it is still a blessing!! Now we just need to work at it like everyone else...
Hi! Just got around to reading your blog....no excuses....there's really not much to do while we sit and wait on our part. SO glad you glad you got home...I'm jealous....I want to go home so bad!! All I can do from here is look online at places to rent, but soon....
ReplyDeleteOh, what is a preset? You said you lost one...
The weight thing! OMG!! I hear ya! It is a constant, ongoing, ever present thing!! Arrrggghhh...sometimes,I feel like giving up and then I see myself nakie and I want to cry!!
HUGE rain, wind, thunder and lightening storm right now...I'll close before I lose the puter!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
A preset is a 'load' or 'run' that is set up before we are even done with the one we are doing. We have been 'preset' up to three loads - its really nice and keeps us rolling (usually) as long as they aren't set to far apart. I love the storms in other places - here in CA they are almost tame in comparison...
ReplyDeleteI went to see a gastric bypass surgeon in Georgia and I was frustrated as I am not qualified for surgery; he recommended me to try a bypass surgery alternative, Roca Labs. He said that Roca Labs is the way of the future. He advised me to get a second option from my own doctor which I did; and since my doctor okay on this alternative to surgery upon reviewing the ingredients and side effects, I tried and I was surprised on how effective it was. In 3 months time, I lost a total of 42 pounds; by the fourth month I hit my goal of 60 pounds. It was an amazing experience and it made my family very happy for discovering an alternative to surgery nowadays which helps me gain a healthy weight and habits, too.
