Friday roll call!

Good morning Illinois!  I am FOUR days out from being on the loser's bench!  I am beyond giddy!  I can't wait to "get this show on the road!"  I feel like i have been "nesting" as i did before i gave birth!  I swear I was Bob Villa yesterday!  i was going around the house trying to "fix" things before the big event!!  I work this today but am excited that I cleared a couple hours this afternoon and am going to meet up with Carol today!  I am looking so excited to meeting you Carol!  My girlfriend (who i started this journey with) is having surgery on June 3rd is meeting Carol with me.  I hope everyone is doing well today and have a great day and weekend!

Good morning Il, My Dr. visit went good all labs are in range, Dr. said the weight is coming off very good .  My hip xrays was ok but my spine is getting worse. that is what is giving me all the pain, so Dr. wants me to have P.T. on it. Not much going on with me, hope everyone has a great day.

We've sanded and revarnished your space on the bench!  It should be dry in a few days.  Then we put up the brass sign with your name on it.   As one of the newest members of the losser's bench, I can tell you it is great and we have plenty of room for you! Paul

woo hoo!  i will GLADLY take a seat on that newly sanded bench! :)

Good morning Karey and friends, Karey, it sounds like you have a fun day planned.  Your weekend will go by fast and before you know it the big day will be here. I got one of those emails from classmates today that I usually ignore.  Whenever classmates came out it was free, but now they charge you a membership fee.  I belonged to it for awhile, but didn't see a lot of my classmates on it.  Anyway, today it said that I still had a pending friend request.  I clicked on just to see as I usually just delete them.  Aparentley I got a friend request last year that I never noticed.  That friend/classmate just died last month.   I just thought it was wierd today. Well, its work today for me.  Our boss is buying our lunch today as a reward for exceeding our goals last month.  Thats the highlight of my day.  Whats going on with everyone else? ~Michelle

Good Morning. The sun is shining, but it ain't gonna be warm today.  DH has already gone for a haircut, had breakfast, and is now going to work on one of our rental houses. Me, I have my hair washed, tried to get some cream of wheat down, talked to my daughter on her way to work, and trying to decide what to delve into today.  I do have some errands to run, and I want to plant some more stuff. I am going tocheck out a new health food store htat just opened here in town,  Karey, I think everyone of us had that "nesting " feeling right before surgery. I think its that need to return to a clean space. Also have fun at your lunch with Carol. Shes great. Barry, I am so happy you found a job. Good Luck, you deserve it. Hi Janet. I am sorry you are still having health issues.  Paul, how ya doing? Hugs,

Good Morning Il family!

Today I don't plan on doing much, other than walking and maybe cleaning a little bit.  I have a pulling on my left side, not horrible but naggy, it's from trying to sleep on that side I'm sure.  It's the muscles I can tell.  It's also the side they told me would do this...lol   oh well.  I can't wait til my life gets a little more exciting...that's for sure! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day, it's kinda gloomy here, not sure what it's gonna do yet....

Good morning everyone.  Happy Friday!! 

Good morning everyone. The sun is shining and today is going to be a great day. Karey, have fun with Carol, she's a wonderful lady (and I hope to meet you soon at a support group meeting) Today should be a fun day for me, about 4 of my girlfriends and I are going to dinner tonight. It will be the first time I have gone out to eat since the surgery. I know my friends are a little nervous about eating in front of me but I keep telling them it's not about the food, it's about being with friends.
I hope everyone have a wonderful Friday, yahoo it's the weekend!

I am reposting from one roll call to this one but I want to add a good morning to everyone else from Illinois as well. I understand the nesting feeling. I put floor tiles down the day before surgery, It felt like I just had to have it done right away....Looked good though when I got home from the hospital. repost from the other Friday Roll Call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good morning.... Paul and Monica sounds like you are both doing great. It is an exciting time to get on the scales and see them going DOWN instead of up! I get excited with ever pound that see gone. My grandson paid me the best compliment this morning, I was in the car driving to the bus barn to go to wok when he said grandma your fat is leaving....I not understanding said WHAT ....he said well use to when you drove your belly could drive the car but now it dose not touch the wheel....I wanted to pull over and give this 6 yr old the biggest hug he ever had. I just said well thank you. I think I was floating on cloud nine. So  guess thats the best Mothers Day gift I could have gotten!!! Best of luck to you both! Karen
