Well, today is the first of two days that I am scared as hell! I go to my MRI today! Keep me in your prayers and I will let you all know later tonight if the doc tells me anything.

Love ya'll
Papa

PAPA!!!!  What happened?!?!?!?

Sorry, yesterday evening got busy. Well, all the hospital that I got my MRI done at would say is that they had seen better, but they had seen worse too! I asked for their "humble" opinion and was told they do not give those out to "sailors" any longer. They have told people in the past that they would be having surgery only to have the Navy say no surgery, and then there were those that they told you will not have surgery and then the Navy tell them they are having surgery. So as it stands right now, I know nothing more than before I went in. I am preparing myself for surgery though, either way I will be prepared.

Thank you for caring, love ya,

Papa

papa - I've been catching up on all the posts -  sorry to have been out of touch for so long, I have had computer troubles, but they are fixed now.  Prayer for you:

Make Me Strong in Spirit

Make me strong in spirit,
Courageous in action,
Gentle of heart,

Let me act in wisdom,
Conquer my fear and doubt,
Discover my own hidden gifts,

Meet others with compassion,
Be a source of healing energies,
And face each day with hope and joy.

Thinking of you - good luck with the results of the MRI!  God bless, C

hey all! i still here. been buzy! 

papa you are still in my prayers!!  let us know what is happening so we dont worry too much!! 

well hubby off of work tomorrow! and he munches all day long when he is off!! so i got 3 days instead of 2! and when i dont buy what he wants he whines... so i got too.... i tried healthy stuff but he wants his junk!! bad part about it is he offers it to me.... i say no, but my mouth is watering!!!!  torcher!! and tomorrow is shopping day! oh no!! he will go with me and that could be bad!!  hummm, wild is have a thought! i will keep him buzy all day and go to store later!! thats the plan! sorry guys, it is just harder when he is home. i get my treadmill tomorrow or sat! i cant wait.....

letgetitstarted,  great to have you back!!! missed ya!!

well you all have a great weekend!

Poor wild!  I know just what you mean about husbands who eat junk!  Mine eats all day long - mostly the wrong stuff - and never gains weight!  It's so unfair - and I must admit that sometimes the temptation just gets too much and I eat some of his cookies...... bad me!  I try to go food shopping without him whenever possible!  Anyways, good luck with the shopping trip today and have a good weekend.  Let us know how you get on with the treadmill.

Have a great weekend all!

Have I told you ladies that ya'll are awesome, I wish I could walk up and hug each one of you!

Letsgetitstarted - Thank you for the prayer/poem and it does hit home!

You both have husbands that munch and snack all day when they are at home, well, MY WIFE does the same thing. She always talks about how she wants to lose 20-30 pounds, but everytime I turn around she has another soda, or a cnady bar in her hand. Everyday I come home and find some other kind of junk food laying around. Yesterday, I threw out her pringles chips and when asked why, I told her that I did not want all the junk food in the house any longer. If she wasn't going to take control of her eating I was! Yeah, that earned me about 5 hours worth of silence! Pissed her off good! I finally told her that turn about is fair play, that is what she had done with me when I started trying to lose mine. Once I said that she loosened up, and apologized. I just asked her not to keep it at the house and not to feed my son some every day. (he is getting ready to turn 12 and is 140 pounds.) I leave my wife home and I do the shopping, it is a lot healthier than when she goes.

Later ladies, love ya'll,

Papa

hey all! got my treadmill!!  finally got it set up and walked it tonite! it is alot different than walking my backyard!

i want to change my health syle.....  i feel hubby will when he is ready.... i buy healthy snacks and i buy his snacks.....  but i am slowly changeing him and he dont know it!  like before he goes and gets the junk, i take him some grapes or other fruit.... i have finally got him off a bag (big) potatoe chips. and that was a bag every 2 days....  i usually go to the store while he is at work... but he had friday off.... so yes he did go with me.....  i pushed every junk food at him, lol and i think he got tired of me pushing and he finally said all i want junk is cookies.....  well we got 3 packages of cookies.... all still in the cupboard unopened!! so he didnt want cookies or i just shoved healthy foods at him.... but i wont push him...... i will just fix healthy meals and give him healthy snacks before he gets to the cookies.... maybe soon it will be like the chips.....

well i tired i have been buzy all day..... you all have a great nite and i will check in later....

good luck all!!

Well, ladies, it looks as if there is still a slim chance that I will not have to have surgery. According to the orthopedics doc everything is 100% good to go structurely. He did find a cyst on the back of my knee (probably caysed by the miniscus) that will never decrease in size. I have to go through 6-8 weeks of physical therapy then go back and see him. If the pain that I am still feeling has not gone by then we will discuss how we are going to cut! Not the words I wanted to hear, but it was better than lets go in tomorrow and take care of that knee.
       He told me to get back in the gym, so that is what I am going to do. I will keep you ladies posted on what is happening in my world out here in WA.

Love ya,
Papa

Great news papa!  6-8 weeks will give the knee a good chance to start healing itself.  Take care of it in the gym though - don't do anything too extreme!

Thinking of ya,

God bless

good morning all!

papa that is great news!!  hopefully the therpy will help so you wont have to have surgery! but do take it easy and dont over do! my prayers are still with ya!

i love my treadmill!!! and today is a nice rainy day, so i will be walking it again today. 

well you all have a awesome day! i will check in again soon.

Ladies, Thank you for the well wishes, and the continued prayers. I just know how our physical therapy department works at the hospital here on base. They give you exercise bands and tell you to do them at home. Then when you come in for your appointment they have you do the exercises they make you do every day at home. I will be doing more for my knee at the gym than what they will be having me do at PT. I told the doc that and he said "it has to be that way to satisfy the Navy that everything possible has been done already". He told me that there is about a 90% chance that I will still go through surgery, but the stronger my leg is to begin with will help determine the recovery time needed. That is what I am shooting for now.

I cannot promise that I will not do anything to extreme, but if I hear my body tell me that it cannot do something I will do my best to listen. When I go to the gym it is like a switch is turned on. I go in and get into my "zone" and then go as hard as I can go for as long as I can go areobically, and with the weights I push myself to go heavier each time I walk through the doors. I scare some women in the gym because to help push out the last couple of reps I growl, grunt, and scream. The scream is not one of those high pitched screams but one that comes from way down in the gut. Yes, I have scared many women doing that! So Wildntaken if you are ever in one of your area gyms down there and hear someone screaming from the gut (at least in a couple more years) just remember it may be me!

Well, you ladies have a good day and good luck on weigh in's this week. Remember one thing......... Keep moving it good for you!

Love ya'll,
Papa

Hi everyone!  I hope you all are doing well. 

I am ok - ups and downs but overall ok.  I get tired of being the one with all the drama so I have been keeping quiet lately.  I have been to the gym 3 times this week and I hope to go at least once this weekend. My bf owes takinig me to a baseball game since that was the one and only thing I asked for for my birthday...back in June!  So we are going on Saturday.  I am super excited!  I don't know much about baseball but I just love being in that enviornment.  I was kinda hoping for it to just be us but it looks like a few friends are coming along.  It's ok, I have just been wanting more of his attention than I am getting these days.   I guess I should just be happy to be going to the game at all. 

Papa - you make me laugh!  I can just see you screaming!!  I would totally freak out if I heard some guy screaming!  I hope your leg gets stronger so if you do have to have surgery you will have a shorter recovery time.

Wild - glad to hear you are liking your treadmill! 

Letsgetitstarted - I hear ya about temptation getting too hard sometimes.  I swear I would be a skinny mini if I was single!  Haha!

I hope you guys have a great weekend.  Talk to you soon!

Love, Cristin

hi all.

sorry i havent been checking in lately. i so buzy with the garden goodies.....

papa, hows your knee doing? i hope better..... and hope you havent overdid it yet!!  and i can hear ya screaming! you make my laugh! thanks i needed that chuckle!!

cristin, how was the game? hope you had fun!

well guys i am getting very disgusted with the new life style! why you ask? i am staying very buzy and walking my treadmill and my ankles stop me from walking it more!!  and not really seeing it on the scale! and only 1/4 inches lost.  my ankles are telling me to get off them and the rest of my body is telling me to move! and my head wants to listen to my body and my ankles stop me dead in my tracks!  acually down on the floor is more like it..... so what am i to do??

anyways, this weekend is a buzy weekend. so i guess it will be a cheat weekend.... we have a family reunion on sat and on sunday we will have our end of summer bonfire..... i am not to worried about the bonfire as i wont be drinking, i not a drinker,  i mite have a couple of hot dogs that i can work into my calories for the day.... but the reunion, all the good stuff that is always there.... that i guess will be my cheat day.... then on monday we have a bbq here which i can controll my calories cause i doing the grilling.....

well back to the garden. you all have a great weekend if i dont make it back on here before that... i have lots to do for the weekend so have a fun one....

Hi everyone! 

Hope your knee is feeling better papa.  

Wild- I'm glas you like your treadmill, I have an incline (it was free) and it hates me. It tends to stick so its becoming a clothes rack. 

Haven't been around except to post on the new loser thread.  Busy with work and school - actually passed the marketing test on Saturday.  Algebra and other nasty math stuff is next - my absolute worst subject.  I have trouble keeping track of numbers.

Weight is down to 173.5 !  Its slow, and I keep plateauing, but its moving.

Temptation is going to be a big problem for the next few weekends.

Company picnic tomorrow, 3 parties on Saturday, a benefit on the 6th, fundraiser on the 13th and another bbq on the 20th.  I have to make stuff for all but the fundraiser-  arrrgghh!    If I only didn't tend to taste test!

Gotta go back to trying to study the math ick. 

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

Later days

ghost

Sorry ladies I have been out of town for awhile I had to go to a couple of conferences with the Navy.

Cristin - I hope all is well with you still. Sometimes quite is a good thing. If you have any questions about baseball (or just about any other sport for that matter) ask, my life revolves around sports. I am guessing if he would open his eyes he would see what he had in front of him. I am here to make you laugh! That is part of my job here. Thank you for the well wishes, I guess it is doing ok, I played 9 holes worth of golf today and it didn't hurt to bad.

Wildntaken - The knee still has the same dull pain, but like I told Cristin it felt ok after 9 holes of golf. Have you tried ankle braces yet. When I play my sports I wear one on each ankle and it doesn't bother me. It is something you may want to try. How did the bonfire go? I always had a bonfire and hayride for my birthday. They were awesome, especially in December! Snuggle Snuggle! Oh and the veggies in the flower box did not work that well.

Ghost - Hey good to see you around. The knee, just the dull pain that I am told will be with me for awhile. I have the same problem with some home treadmills they always stick on me (like each step I take). Math - I love Math, it was always my best subject in school. How did you do with the temptations?

Well, ladies I need to get going for now. I will be at a Special Olympics Coaches Conference all weekend so I hope I can stick to my eating patterns. I will be around more since I am back from all my travel for the Navy for awhile. Have a good weekend ladies.

Love ya,
Papa

hi all. sorry i havent been here lately. i have been so buzy. the garden is almost done.  and all i have left to do on the baby quilt is to hem it. and i am still making my candles, getting stocked up for the fair. so now i am taking a break. hope all is good. i am staying on track. so buzy i forget about food. which i guess is good.

papa, glad to hear you knee is doing good. yes i have tried the ankle braces and have had to cut them off. they dont help, my feet still swells if i am on them too much.  the ankles braces didnt bother me until my feet started swelling then it got painful. the bonfire went up in smoke and fire. we had only 4 people to show up. but us 6 had a great time.  we usually have about 5 or 6 throughout the summer.  sorry to hear about you veggies. go by the calendar (almenc) and they should do good.

well guess i better go and answer more emails before i start up the candle pot. you all have a great day!

Does anyone still come around to check in or is this thread dead? If there is anyone still checking I ran across WILD in another thread that a few of the participants in BL7 are together and encouraging each other. Drop on by and say hey!
