Friday Roll Call

Good morning Pam and the rest of Illinois! Way to go Pam!!!!  Those WOW moments make your day (and week), don't they?  It is so nice that you don't have to buy any clothes for a while.  Enjoy it all!

I am working today, and maybe to Wally World at lunch since I didn't do it yesterday.  We'll see how the weather is by lunch time.

I promised to have Miss Riley come out tonight, so we will be busy with her.  Tomorrow, both kids have things to do in the morning so I will be running into Freeport, so I can always do the Wal-Mart thing then if I have to.

The grouper was not bad last night, but it sure was not as good as Dockside Dave's in St. Pete Beach!  I didn't really expect it to be, but one can always hope.......

Nothing else exciting in my life right now, just wishing Monica a speedy recovery so that she can get home.

Have a tremendous day all!

Good morning Pam and Illinois! Today is my 1st meal! I can't wait to eat my cottage cheese with cinnamon and splenda! We have no plans for this weekend other than trying to fit in a couple of walks. Since the weather is going to be crappy, I'll have to go walking in the mall.  I can't wait til next weekend and Miss Lucy's get together. My husband and I will be attending. I can't wait to meet all of you in person. Since I'm so new to WLS, I think I will let you tell me what to bring....I feel like I'm clueless.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Goodmorning all,   Work again today and then nothing much other than cleaning the house ugh....Nothing is new here. I made  an appointment with the surgeon on Monday I am having a bad burning and pain in my stomach and am not sure why... So other than that nothing is new . I hope and Pray for a speedy recovery for Monica and I hope everyone has a great weekend... Love Martha

Good Morning all!  Congrats on your two wows!  I'm still here in Los Angeles.  The main project is over and we finished the circuit crossover.  Don't worry about what that means, just know that I was at the office until 11:00 nlast night, but it all seems to be working.  Now I'll check in to the office and then spend the weekend with my friend, then off to Seattle on Monday.  I'm really starting to miss my family.  My wife was in a car accident on Monday and it looks like about $5000 in damage to our van.  Luckily, she wasn't hurt and she has my car to drive while I'm traveling.  But like everything else in life, it comes at the worst time since we are tapping into our financial reserves already for my Lap Band in May.  An insurance deductable just tips that bucket completely over.  I'm hoping that a month of me being on a limited diet will offset our food bills!  On the good news front, my blood sugar numbers are looking really good.  I woke up at 111 and on most days this week, I've been under 100 by 10am!!!  Have a great weekend everybody.  I'm really looking forward to meeting you all at the party!

Good Morning Illinois,  The sun is out, and its very mild out (at least at this time).  I went to see Dr. Guske yesterday, and was very surprized to see that I have lost an additional 12 lbs. This makes 53 pounds gone forever in 6 months. Me Happy  I knew it was a few pounds, but I generally go with what the Dr. s scale shows. Plus, my leather jacket that I hadn't worn in 2 years or longer, can be buttoned,  Remember, all you newlosers, and the ones that are still waiting, the scale is NOT your best friend. Donot weigh everyday, once a week is good.  Today, I am cleaning, I won't be home the next 2 weekends, so I need to do extra today and tomorrow. Tonight we will go out to celebrate my 62nd birthday. I will be drawing my first SS check in June.  Gotta get back to playing Mary Maid. Hugs to all Lisa

Yay it's Friday!! Good morning everyone, I hope you all have a great day and weekend. Pam, whoohoo on your wow moments! What a feeling it must be. And Lisa, congrats on the weight loss, that's awesome. All these wow moments and posts of weight loss really help me not get so frustrated.
Not much going on here..just a doc. appt. for my 15 year old son. He plays arena football and broke his shoulder in the first game of the season (he had hurt his shoulder in the fall playing football) so we need to find out if surgery is what he needs. And of course the usual cleaning and laundry and whatever else needs to be done around the house. So off I go to empty the dishwasher. Enjoy the day!!
