Morning All!!
Yeah, I was quite pleased with the way the doctor's appointment went as well. I've not had an appointment where I could safely say that everything is going fine physically and no, I'm not having any problems. I told him about this support group and he said that it was a fantastic idea, that support can make all the difference sometimes. I agree.
Welp, I've got to get caught up around here. My room is in shambles and I need to do laundry. Plus the portfolio. And I need to catch up with everyone on here. I feel like a real shit for not taking some time to support everyone. It means a lot to come back after my absence and find people still rooting for me - makes it that much easier to climb back onto the wagon.
Thanks guys you make me smile.

Sounds like everything is going great! And it's awesome that you went to the doctor and keep yourself checked up.
ps- i hope what I had is gone and that I don't get any of what Mike had! I can't wait to just feel totally healthy again and get back to that gym.

This forum is legendary at the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation in my district. I don't think they realized (at first) the power of the people in a collective effort has so much good effect. It's a safe bet a few caseworkers have seen your pics and possibly read your story.
Congrats on making your doctor smile
It's been a great event for me to do that too.

Howdy All!! Thanks for stopping by.
The stuff with Giggles isn't new he got this label a few years ago. He tries to play it off as nothing but I know that it bugs him a lot, then it escalates to this. *sigh* Yes, people can be quite small minded - as a whole, I just don't understand people. Hopefully they've gotten it out of their system and if not, the sheriff's office knows there's been problems.
As for the squealing doctor, I was soo shocked to have it come from his mouth. He's an older gentleman - very stoic. I see him again in another 3 months. I'm hoping for at least another 30lb.
When I first came here - I wasn't expecting too much either but I soon found out that this was going to make all the difference. Not just people encouraging me but also the acting of encouraging others. People in large numbers can do amazing things - this is true!
I had a productive day today. I got one big section completed on my portfolio and part of another. Plus I did some work on an illustration. Got all my laundry done and folded. Got the bedroom picked up. Yay!
The only thing I didn't do... workout. I still have an hour before the day is over so I'm going to do some weights & situps real quick before bed. Nothing too sweaty just something to ease back into the routine.
Nighty night!

This sentence impressed me. This screams "I want it badly". Nice job and on doing even the smallest things and not saying to yourself 'it's late, screw it'.

Good afternoon & thanks for popping in.
This cold weather is messing with my schedule. Too darn cold to walk. Just walking to the car is painfully cold. I don't mind cold so much except that it's bitter and blows right through my clothes. I'm going to have to find some alternative cardio otherwise I'm going to get derailed totally. I've not done anything today.
Hmmm... I guess instead of sitting here bitching about it I need to get up and do something.
I'll post foods & stuff later. Toodles.

Hi all.. so my day was pretty good - got to spend the morning with Mr. Giggles which always makes my day better. Got the photo section of my portfolio done. But I never did do any exercising. It's going to be another light workout before bed day.
I've dropped my calories on Spark a bit to account for the lack of cardio lately, they're back down into the 1600-1900 range. Which puts today a bit over but only by 53 calories. No biggie...
I may have a job. Nothing too spectacular but the pay is pretty good and I get to do it from home which will give me time to work on the design stuff a little more. The only thing that has me apprehensive is that it's telemarketing. I hate talking on the telephone. I just hate it. This could get interesting. But for the pay - I just can't pass it up. We'll see how it goes.
nighty night!
