The doctors scales should be illegal, and all thrown away.

A beautiful Tuesday afternoon to all my slimming buddys :)  Its good to be here at BuddySlim today.  I actually have a small break this afternoon and thought it would be a good time to say hello!!!

Yes, this is a fact.  I am going to boycott all scales in doctors offices.  I will refuse to be weighed on them ever again.  They should be illegal and therefore taken away forever  LOL!!!

So my scales here at home (I love them by the way) are showing me the numbers I wish to see.  I’m not going down, but I’m not going up, and for me this is HUGE PROGRESS  “patting myself on the back”

The scale at the doctors yesterday showed a 3 pound gain.  Well I set my purse on the ground (1 pound right there)  took off my shoes (1 pound there)  I asked if maybe I took off my jeans I would weigh what my scales said…LOL!!! She said Honey you do whatever you need to do, I’ll turn my head…and she was laughing hysterically :)  I declined, and took the 3 pound gain.  I know where I am, its the clothes and shoes that  weigh so much!!!

So today was a blood draw, pee pee sample (you know in the little cup, where you have to bring it out in front of the ENTIRE WAITING room for all to see)  and a Chest X Ray.

Love love really love my lab.  The girls all know me, and we laugh and joke, kind of like here.  It is really becoming a second home for me.  I’m pretty much there on a weekly basis.  I told the lab girls, we’ve got to stop meeting like this!!! Lets have coffee instead, cuz I’ve got so many  holes poked in me from drawing blood!!!  I think that should be illegal as well.

So 6 vials of blood…EEEKS….didn’t know I had that much, they usually take 2 or 3….x ray, sample and I’m on my happy way.

Lots of stress with my children, but it is totally in Gods hands.  I’m focusing on ME…sounds selfish, but its high time I get myself as healthy as God will allow.  I trust him, and know his plan will be a good one.  Remember buddys, when you wake up in the morning, please say your thanks….Thank you God for this beautiful Day.  Never go to bed angry…always say an I Love you  at night.  No one knows whats around the corner.

Some good news to report, my Son Jon who is 23 was approved for an apartment which is located right across the street from where he works.  He will not have to drive anymore.  The trip from here at my house is 60 miles round trip.  His car is a huge gas hog, so it takes around 100 dollars a week for gas “big sigh” 

He’s excited but a little scared and reluctant.  He’s ALWAYS had a roomate, and this time its only him.

Angela is about to POP!!!  Wonder how our little Debbie is doing???

My other son is away for a bit.  Learning some of lifes hardest lessons.  Guess we all have to learn things the hard way, I know I sure did.

Ok, my lovely buddys….Gods Blessings for you all today.  Hope its a beautiful day for you.

Love you all
