Hi,all!  Well, I went to my PCP on Wed. and he told me I had bronchitis, put me on antibotics and an inhaler, they're really helping a lot.

Finally broke the stall, down 2 pounds, so 8 more to go to century mark!  I guess since I hit 6 months out on 1/13 I could be losing slower now.  Also, due to this sickey thing, no exercise yet!  Hopefully sometime next week I'll be well enough to mall walk.

Saw Lady in the Water, superb! It's an M.Night Shamalan, but it's not super scary, it's suspenseful, but so cool. If you have kids, I'd suggest you watch it without them the first time, because you must watch it from the very first word until the end just to understand it. I mean none of this, go ahead and start it honey, I've got to go to the bathroom, then make a snack, no no, and if you need to take a short break during, pause it! After watching it once, you'll probably want to see it again before returning it!  I use Netflix and am very happy with it!

Well, I'll check in again soon! Love you all!

Well, looks like I'd better say something!  I'm doing okay, except for this darn flu/cold thing, this too shall pass!  Looks like my stall is over, hurrah! I'm still having a problem eating, probably because my ulcer came back about 2 weeks ago, so I'm back on the med I had before, but this time for twice as long, good!

Got my new face up on the messageboard!  That's quite an achievement for me!  Also, somehow managed to upload my recent pics.

You know how people say they don't see themselves as what they really look like after losing weight.  Well, I do!  I guess I spend too much time in front of my mirror, lol!  But, seriously, I do take a good look at myself when changing clothes, naked. And I remember to look at all my body, I don't want to get into that body dismorphia thing. And I weigh everyday.  Yep, I said that!  And for me, it's a good check system, and I know if I'm stalled, and when I lose well, I know what I've been eating and doing!  So some of you say "Step away from the scale", but that's only if you're really anxiety prone to reality.  Who said you would lose weight at a constant speed?  Nobody on this board!
Okay, don't know why I feel like lecturing today - maybe it's because I'm sick!  The Zicam products are great though! I can't believe homeopathic medicines work so well!  So, I don't need to worry about how they'll effect my body or interact with my psych meds.

I'm so excited about the OH conference in April at Irvine, finally I will get to actually meet some of you!  I've already paid for my ticket and hotel, and it's only about 1 to 1 1/2 hours north of me!  We Californians talk in time, not miles, due to traffic.  Well, it's time for one last check of the boards, then I'm back to bed to keep warm and watch TV for the rest of the night, I want to get well!  Love you all! 

11/18/2006                                                         Haven is doing my new profile and I love it!  I'll have some new pics next week of me, Stuart (DH), and Blu our new dog that we got about a month ago!
I'm still suffering with the diarrhera thing.  Going to the lab on Monday for more tests.  This has got to stop! WE got an early Christmas present yesterday.  I have Restless Legs Syndrome, I take Requipe for it, which has worked very well, until about 2 months out.  I have to take it more frequently now, and I still get restless legs every night!  I've known for a while that if I let my calves get cold, it can cause this problem to be worse.  So when my MIL asked what we wanted for Christmas we said oh, please, an electric blanket with 2 controls.  So, Stuart picked it up yesterday and at 6:30p last night my restless legs started their dance.  Stuart hooked it up.  Within 3 minutes my legs were nice and warm and the restless feeling was gone!  I can't tell you how much of a life improvement this is for me.  I should have gotten one 2 years ago when my sister, Jill, told me to, now I need to email her and tell her she was right.
