Saturday Roll Call

It's my birthday, I'm officially down 27 pounds and everything is good!  Liz and I went to see a movie last night and had dinner out.  It was a great time and today we are off to a busy one.  Meredith's doctor's check up, Nic's soccor game and then a cub scout outing tonight.  I hope everybody has a great weekend!  Paul 

Happy Birthday Paul!  And congratulations on the 27 pounds!!!! I'm not doing much today, cleaning the apartment and doing homework.....I started school again so it would distract me from my surgery and eating.....didn't know I would really have homework...LOL Well at least it's finally beautiful here in Illinois!  Maybe I'll try to walk today without pain! Everyone have a great weekend.

happy bday paul!  have a great weekend and congrats on the awesome weight loss!!  woo hooo!! it feels great doesn't it?

hello everyone!  finally we have a nice day of weather today!  we are headed out to spend a family day at starved rock and have a picnic, hike and get tons of exercise!  we have been spending a lot of time away from the house as our kitchen is still being remodeled as well as a bathroom so the house is a disaster area.  i am officially waiting for my fill as i have no restriction!  i have to wait until june 13th!  i am getting filled up on my meals but am eating about 3 oz and making myself stop.  i can tell no restriction b/c i can eat bigger bites but i am still trying to stick with the small bites.  i am not complaining as i am down 30 lbs in a month!  woo hoo! i hope everyone has a great day!

Happy Birthday and congratulations Paul. Good morning to all my Illinois friends. I hope you each have a fantastic weekend.  We're heading out to wisc. to pick up my "old" bike. Earl is going to fix it up for me(new tires & tubes) so I can start biking again.  Yesterday was a crummy day for me. (I posted about it on the Over 50 Forum) but today is looking up.  Paulette

Good morning Paul and Happy Birthday! What movie did you see and did you enjoy it? The wedding we went to yesterday was awesome! The bride was beautiful and groom was handsome! My son was the best man and gave a terrific toast. His girlfriend was also in the bridal party. We had so much fun! There were pea****s, swans and ducks on the property. They got married in the courtyard and the reception was indoors. The rain held out til the very end of the ceremony.   Karey, glad to see your not MIA. I thought we may have to send out a search party to find you! Hope everyone has a most enjoyable day!  Enjoy the sunshine while we have it!

Good Morning IL Family

Happy Birthday Paul!!!  I hope you enjoy your day with your family and have a great day!!  congrats on the 27 lbs too!  woohoo

Today I have Tyler's ballgame from 12-2 then home to see if I have time to plant a couple of flowers I bought yesterday and then it's off to the Schaumburg Flyer's Game for the Bariatric Day from the Kane Center.  I hope to see a few of you there!  Do you know if we can bring our own water bottles or not??  Do you know if we need money for anything?  This is my first time...obviously!  lol

Those 2 things will fill my day today and I will sleep good in my own bed finally tonight I hope.  I have been trying every so often to sleep in the water bed and it just doesn't work well.  I hope it does because I am gonna need back surgey pretty soon if I don't get off the couch!  lol

Tomorrow is open and I will probably finish doing what I can in the garden.  I still can't really stay in a bent over position for too long otherwise all the stomch muscles hurt.  I will do what I can though. 

I hope everyone has a great day.  The sun is shining, though it's VERY windy here.  I hope that either dies down or stops all together.  I hate wind.

Happy Birthday Paul! Congratulations on your 27 pound loss. Well, what can I say other than I am a busy bee.  On May 22nd, I did the JP Morgan Chase Challenge.  I walked with my friend from work and we did the 3.5 miles in 1:09:21.  My son turned 13 this past tuesday, so we tried to do something special.  My daughter has been in California the last two weeks visiting my mom, she will come back on Tuesday.  All I have planned is going to they gym, cleaning house, homework, and paying bills.  I am trying to think of something fun to do in this nice weather.

Hi Paul and the rest of IL - Paul, Happy Birthday!  I worked this morning and just got home and will be out gardening soon.  I love to be out in the flower gardens so that is my plan.  Nothing else going on. Hope everyone enjoys the lovely day. Christina
