Mondays Roll Call

Happy MLK day everyone, I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am off of work today and so far enjoying it.  I slept in, watched the today show, and am now planning my grocery list.  Everything looks good, maybe I should have breakfast first. Yesterday, I got in 60oz water.  Finally.  Now if I could do that everyday.  Thanks to Dawn, I found fit tv and tried the Shimmy.  That is a belly dance show.  I didn't make it all the way through it, but I did find it low impact and the stretches were so helpful.  I also got on the rebounder (small trampoline) and just bounced for 5 minutes.  Sometimes its just nice to mix it up a bit.  I just feel like I'm not doing enough exercise. How many people are off work today?  When was the last time you heard MLK's I Have a Dream speech?  If you get a chance google it and listen to it.  I think I appreciate it more now that I am an adult than I ever did in high school. I hope everyone has a great day today.   Don't forget to smile today.  I think we are going to hit double digits for temperature.  Heat wave is here!!! ~Michelle

Good Morning Michelle and the rest of IL where ever you are!

I am off work today and dont' have any plans to leave the house!  I have to finish up some homework and play with the kids that's about it. 

I got an email from Michelle this morning telling me that she forgot to let me know but she faxed BCBS my info last week.  So now the real waiting is beginning.  Dh told me that he didn't want to hear me every day wondering about it...LOL   I don't want to get my hopes up though....who knows.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stay warm!

Hello everyone hope you are all still staying warm. I am still off for post op and not doing anything, I think yesterday when I was feeling well did a little too much and now not wanting to do anything! So since the we cleaned yesterday and did all the shopping and made all the kids snacks we are just going to sit and watch tv and veg. Kids are doing the homework with 5 kids could be a all day event but oh well will get done before dinner.  Going to sit and veg and will talk to you all later.

Good Morning Michelle, I am also off work today. So far I have eaten breakfast, had coffee, cleaned out the spice cabinet,picked up the kitchen, and then I am going to clear out the pantry. I want to make some granola, and everything has gotten misplaced since I made the last batch. Plus, I need to find the rescipe. Then, I want to do a page in my Lapband scrapebook. I am doing a page for each month since banding in October, for this first year. I need to have it in case I get lazy at some point for referance. At some time today I also want to either use the Gazell or work with a new tape for exercise. Yesterday, I also hit 60 0z of water, and, 64 grams of protein. I have already done 30 g of protein this morning.  ( Yogurt + protein powder + 1/4 cup granola cereal). Need to get moving today,  Hugs to all,

Hi everyone! I am also off work today. I did my exercise with the Sansone video; I'm still so limited in what I can do, but even a little bit helps. I want to go out because I am stir crazy. It is snowing here and we are supposed to get three inches by tonight. I have been knitting this weekend, almost finished my first sock! I can see the flaws but who else will get that close to my feet?!  the second in the pair should go faster because I know what I am doing now.

Have a good day folks!

Good Morning all. I get to see my surgeon today. Probably not for a fill since I have lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks. I leave for Vegas next Sunday and I have heard some chatter about bands tightening during flights. I want to be able to enjoy my trip without worry. Have a warm & snowy day eveyrone!

Morning all, well almost afternoon. I am home here with my children, getting ready to go to the grocery store.  I was hoping to contact my ins. co today and get my approval faxed to the surgeons office. I knew it was MLK day today, just did not know the ins. co. also take the day off. Yes BCBSIL says they are closed for the holiday lol. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day.               ReneeW

This is a late morning post--aargh. I'm home with sick kids today. Double aargh. We did youtube the "I Have a Dream" speech already. I love how my five year old looks at me incredulously when I tell him about the disparities between blacks and whites in the old days. I hate having to tell him that many exist even today. Triple aargh. Have a great day. Nicolle

Well, it seems that I am the only one working today..... so my Packers lost , but there is always next year.  I am finishing up my class, I have one week left and then I get to start my Financial Account class .  I did not do too much over the weekend other than the usual stuff. For my birthday (early present) which is in a couple of weeks, I bought myself the Sony Electronic Reader to download my text books to....it is a cool toy and will save me money as I won't have to print the pages out.   Well all, I am off to work on capital lease schedules....

I am working today!! We take off for Presidents Day. I went and worked out this morning and now Im at work. Man its cold out. I built a website for my book over the weekend and ordered some business cards. the website is www.freewebs.com/romancegonewrong
