Good morning Martha and IL, I am not doing to much today, just my exercise , hope eveyone has a great day, the sun is out this morning and it is going to warm up a bit, 

Good mornin to all. I am headin out to the local college that I attend to try to meet up with all of my instructors to let them know that I'll takin off for a couple of weeks in the middle of the semester due to my surgery.  Hopefully that all goes well. I can t afford to take the semester off. I am enrollin in the gym class so that way I can use it when I am able afterwards. Well that is about it for me. i hope that everyone has a great day.  Measha

Morning all.  Today wasn't the best.  1 pound came back WITH their twin.  two pounds up today.  Yes Friday is my weigh in date.  Looks like today is adjustment day.

Good Morning Martha and Illinois! Good for you to be keeping up with the exercise.  It is only hard at first.  I hope you get nothing but good reports from the dentist. After work, I am hoping to take my wedding ring back in to be re-adjusted.  I had them re-sized a month ago, and it has always been just a smidge too small.  I am hoping that they will be able to stretch it out a tiny bit. Besides that, the kids have to be at school to attend basketball games and I am thinking of seeing if my husband would like to go out to dinner. I have been missing Christina, Lucy and Pam also.  Christina may be getting ready for Calvin's surgery and maybe the others are just busy living life.  Hopefully, they will check in soon. I am glad to see all the new friends that have come out of "lurkdom" lately!  It is always fun to meet new friends. I wish everyone a lovely day!

Good morning all,

I am just contemplating my walking regimine for the day.  I basically just waddle, but I try to do it for at least 15 minutes everyday.  Yesterday, Wendi and I went to our post-surgery class.  I think I might pull out one of the exercises that they gave us and give it a try.  Baby steps for now and before long it will become a habit.

Everyone have a great day.  It looks like Sunday we will be close to 50 degrees.

Well, Good Late Afternoon to one and all.  I was hoping to see Christina and Calvin at support group last night but they were not there. WOOHOO on Calvin's upcoming surgery next week, our prayers are with you both for speedy recoveries - Calvin from the surgery and Christina with your foot. I have been thinking about Lucy also; she must be busy with her work and life in general. We miss you. Pam, did the snow get ya down and the January White Sale ads in the paper? We miss you. Martha, as far as the trainer goes - you should really only hurt a little. If you are hurting a real lot you are being pushed too hard and that could mean damage to muscle tissue. There can always be a tiny bit of soreness but never soreness that causes you to be in tremendous pain. Kim, how are you coping with WW and the issues with Maddie?  Work went well today. I was alone and that was great because I was able to blast my MP3 player through my computer speakers. Love Randy Travis, and some old 60's Brother's Four and Kingston Trio folk music. Well, I am waiting for Dave to come back from the post office and then we are going to hop a train and go to Bensenville to a little restaurant by the station and enjoy some good ole comfort food. Cute little restaurant in an old restored building in the business district that has great home style WLS friendly food. Christine

Good evening everyone~ Today was ALOT better for me.  I didn't have the kids today, so I took advatage of that time and did some returns and exchanges.  Went to Hobby Lobby and Chicago Home Fitness to look at ellipticals.  Hubby knows how down I have been, so he is encouraging me to go buy a GOOD one so we can work out together.  I was looking at the Precore cross ramp ones.  They are very easy on the joints and has a incline.  They have them in stock, so I might be working out by this weekend.  My WW's is going good so far.  I have not cheated and I have stayed in my point range everyday now!  I have found out that it's not hunger really, but the grazing and the hand going to the mouth and chewing thing for me.  I have been chewing alot of gum!!!!  Last night Ryan made big salads w/ grilled chicken and eggs in it.  Maddie even liked it!   Things are going better w/ Maddie. I talked to her teacher today and things have been straightend out.  Maddie and I are going to Barnes and Noble for Pajama Story Time and home to make a fire and snuggle on the couch!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stay safe!!!!! Pam and Lucy....I miss you..I hope you guys are doing okay.  I have been thinking of you guys alot!!!!  Pam.....lets go do coffee (for me a diet coke) again.  That was fun !!!!!!!

Well, by the time I got a chance to hop on the boards it is evening...  I got my drain pulled today!!!!! I had called to question is it was ok that fluid was no longer draining, and they said to come in and have it pulled (yeah)....While I was there, I stepped on the scale and I am happy to say that I have lost 7lbs.....   I will be going back to work on Monday, which is fine with me as I have gone bonkers sitting at home. I need to get my laundry done, make sure that I have enough stuff to pack for my daily food intake. I too have missed Pam, Christina, and Lucy.  I hope that they are doing well. Kim, I am glad that things got worked out with Maddie.  Well, I am off to do a few light chores and get a jump on some more home work as classes start back up on Tuesday.
