Monday Roll Call

Hi Wendi and all, Wendi, I hope you get some answers today, my heart goes out to you. Well, yesterday was a disaster day for my food. We got a call at 8am that a huge branch had fallen on our daughters house, broke through the roof, landed on the car and they couldn;t get out the front door. So hubby & I went over there to help. So started out no breakfast ( bad start) Her MIL & FIL came over to help and brought donuts for everyone of course I ate one. Lunch had 1/2 a sandwich, They got lots of pics taken and the adjuster said they could cut up the tree. so we all worked on that all day. Then daughter made my hubby's favorite dinner of fathers day. Swedish meatballs & Sweet Mustard Gravy.  I should just walked home. But noooo I had to eat a little...that idea went out the window rather quickly. So end result I ate way too much of all the wrong things yesterday. Am paying for it today. Upset stomach (the grease) swollen hands & feet (the salt) and sluggish mind(too much fat & carbs). Today so far I've had coffee, water & meds.I feel like you do after thanksgiving dinner bloated and yuk!!!! But I am going to stop beating myself up and start fresh today. Maybe some yogurt soon. Lunch salad and vegies. Dinner - Grilled chicken and salad..   and get back on track. Paulette

Paulette, you got it right. One day is not going to kill you. Just get back on focus to start fresh today. Sorry about your daughters house.

Thanks Lisa for the encouraging words.  My daughters house will be ok, thye have good insurance. And no one was hurt which is the main thing.   Paulette

Paulette I hope your daughters house will be ok. And don't worry about the diet, get right back on the horse! OBTW...my test went well.  It was very scary, I was awake for the part that I had to swallow the camera, I gagged a few times, told me to swallow again!  Then I was out!

Lynne

Oh, I am sorry Lynne that the test was like that, others I have talked to said they weren't awake and didn't remember anything about the tes. At least it is over, hopefully you'll never have to have that again. My granddaughters (4 & 6) were crying about their house being broken, told them it'll get fixed and be ok. The insurance adjsuter is supposed to be out today.  Hugs. Paulette 

Paulette, I'm so glad that no one got hurt at your daughter's place!  that must have been scary.

As for the food, we all mess up here and there...please don't beat yourself up over it.  Just jump back on the wagon and keep plugging along!!

Thanks Monica,  all the encouraging words really help. Today I am back on track with my food. Had low carb yogurt & coffee this am, just finished a salad and 1 slice low carb bread with some Healthy Ones Turkey.  Took out chicken breasts to grill for dinner.  My granddaughters are a little freaked out about the house. you can see into the attic, the whole front side gutters and soffits pulled off. The girls (4&6)are afraid that squirels, birds, spiders, mice etc are going to get in the house, through the attic. LOL!   Paulette

Good afternoon everyone!!! We had a long weekend, now I get to play catch up with the dishes and the laundry today, Lucky me! lol We went to the Shedd Aquarium yesterday, it was a lot of fun. The boys loved watching the dolphin show. We were all pretty wiped out by the end of the day!! Tonight I have to take my oldest to Karate, then go finish up buying the last of the teacher gifts since tomorrow is the last day of school!

Good Afternoon Wendi and the rest of my IL family!

Wendi, I know how frustrated you must be to not know what is going on!  You are in my prayers that Dr R can figure it out soon and spring you from the hospital.

This morning I finally got to go to one of Austyn's psych appts and was able to let the Dr know that things are NOT good even though that's what Mike and Austyn tell him all the time.  He recommended that we seek, individual, couple and family counseling...so we are.  See once again, I suggest it and Mike doesn't go for it, but have someone else do it and it's okay.  Drives me bonkers!  After that I dropped Mike and Austyn off at home and went to a new Lane Bryant by my house to get a bra fitting...wow, did I learn something!  LOL  I got 4 new bras in the correct sizes and the bonus was they were buy 2 get 2 free!  woohoo....they were expensive but hopefully worth it. 

I picked up Tyler from weight training and then came home.  now I am going to be doing some homework and we have a baseball game tonight that we have to leave at 4:30pm for. 

Tomorrow it's off to the gym with Jacob!

Good Afternoon Ladies of Illinois!!!   I hope you don't mind me butting in, but I'm new to OH and was so happy to find gals from Illinois.    Wendi even though I'm new I so truly wish you healing and to all the other ladies with problems whatever they may be I'm praying for resolve for each and everyone of you.  TBear I'm right there with you on the liquid diet, I started mine June 9th, had a very bad weekend but got right back on the wagon today.  I just keep thinking I'm doing this for every good reason (ME).  Good luck!!
