Good Afternoon!! Things have been going well again today. I lost an additional .2 pounds, every little bit counts! I need to get to 219 to hit my goal for the week. I'm going to do it I'm just going to need to focus. I'm REALLY wanting a coffee right now. French Vanilla, black, two splendas.... but I'm doing daycare alone today and dont have any coffee to make myself! I usually have my two assistants here so I can go run errands in the morning and grab my coffee... not today though so I'm dragging butt!!! I start class again this week. I'm working towards my degree in Elementary Education. This class is online thankfully, because I hate driving in the winter. I just finished a 90 hour course two weeks ago, this one is only 30, so it shouldnt be as hard. Wow, I'm rambling. Looks like I have been volunteered to have a bbq at my house this weekend after the ski trip (I live closest to the slopes so I guess thats how it happened). I'm going to buy Ground turkey and 98% fat free hot dogs along with normal options for everyone, so I can enjoy some yummies and others can have healthy options too. I'd love to make a potato salad, or pasta salad, but I need to find a healthy recipe. I may end up just doing a veggie and dip platter and some chips. I dont know how casual we're doing things yet. Anyway, didnt work out last night, and have a doc apintment tomorrow for my stomach. Its not just sore now, there is quite a bit of pain and my stomach is distended in one spot. I'm hoping I didnt tear something!!! My mother had hernia sugery and it was horribly painful for her. I'l write more later.

As I\'m reading this I am eating pasta salad. It\'s got green and white cheese tortillini, red peppers and black olives tossed in Hellman\'s lite mayo. It\'s pretty good. I\'ve got alot of teachers in my family and they love what they do. It\'s cool you are working on your degree. Tell us what the doc says, I\'ll keep my fingers crossed.
just a quick note...I have a heraia. I will probably have to have surgery on it but my Dr. one very handsome South African dude told me that the stronger your ab muscles are the faster you will heal up from going under the knife. So I haven\'t stopped going to the gym and figure if anything should happen like say a stragulated hernia I\'ll go to emerg and get emergency tummy tuck too!!! But have heard coffee enemas very helpful with this condition.
Well that\'s great to hear you lost some more weight!!! I\'m so proud of you!
As far as the hernia, I work in surgery and we repair hernias all the time. It is a pretty simple procedure, but it is still surgery, and all the same risks apply. And by the way, a hernia repair and a tummy tuck are two totally different things, so don\'t go in thinking that you\'re going to come out looking different.
So how much longer do you have to go with your degree? That\'s great you\'re doing that. You\'re going to be well prepared when you have kids!! :-)
I hope you get feeling better...let us know what the doc says! Oh and thanks for mentioning pasta and potato salad now I want some...LOL!!!
