Wednesday Roll Call

hi all!  sorry about being under the radar lately.  still getting the dust to settle after moving back into our house. 

things are going well!  i found my forgotten friend the elliptical this morning and it felt great!  going to get back on that in the mornings again and pick things back up. 

my weight is going GREAT!  =)  last week, i was down to 239!!!!  i'm comfortably in an 18 and even moving towards 16s!!!!! 

tonight, i have an interview with starbucks to get me a part time job in the evenings.  i need to get away from my kiddos for a little adult time and if i can earn some extra $$ doing it, GREAT!  plus, i love coffee and i hear the benefits at starbucks are pretty good.  i'm excited about it!  i  pulled out some old skirts that i have and was elated to see that they fit!  it was an outfit that i wore when my first daughter was christened!!  =)  haven't seen these clothes for awhile! 

please wish me luck for the interview!  i'll try to catch back up with ya'll more often.  =)  i've noticed that already, when i stray away from OH, i notice it in my eating.  carbs have been creeping back in here and there.  i put the kabosh on it over the weekend and its going well! 

everyone have a great day!!

Hi Christie -
I sure hope your interview goes well.  I think Starbucks would be a great place to work.  Yes, I have also heard they have great benefits.  I'm so proud of you staying on track and keeping to the basics.  Something I need to focus on. 
Let us know how the interview goes.

Hi, I am new to roll call, I have my one week follow up visit with Dr today to get staples and other things out I think I have lost 12 since surgery and 32 in all. today I feel about 80% my old self. looking forward to being off clear liquid diet. I am a financial consultant (accountant ) for farmers or AG producers and I can not remember ever being away from the office this long. seems really strange. Thank god I have a beautiful day to drive 45 minutes to the appt last time I went there I had a 10 am appt did not see the Dr till 2 hoping today is different.

Thanks for listening and inviting me, I am about 25 miles into IL from St Louis in a town called Bethalto.

Welcome to the best board around!   Congrats on your resent surgery!   We have one of the friendlest group of ppl I've seen on these boards.  If you have any questions or comments please post them, after all we are all here for the same reason.

Happy that you found us. Love your avatar. Congrats on being a "looser".

Hello Kitty .......
Congrats on your surgery.  Sounds like your bouncing back nicely.  Hope you stop in often and give us an update of your progress and just stick around to be a part of our growing family.  IL is growing by leaps and bounds.  It's great!

Welcome to the board!  Lots of great people here.  I too work in accounting, so I know what you mean about being away from the office.  I would love to hear more about the type of  work you do in the AG industry.  Farming is a big business now, unlike the family farm my hubby grew up on in SE MO.  I work in Corporate/Consolidation Accounting, it is interesting especially in a global market.

My plate has been well stocked today.  Chevy dealership in Wheeling this morning was a fantastic experiance.  Some vent over the gas tank was replaced and a heat cover they saw was loose was ordered for later.  All covered by GM.

No clothes for me at Goodwill.  Did I tell you all I got into two pairs of my slacks yesterday.  I think I might can afford a dress shirt and I have ties so will be stopping at the big and tall today or tonight.  I am having tea at Panera right now then will visit a friend and go to the IDES to print off my resume.  My drum on my printer has started making a line down the page.  Then back to Glenview for DW.  Central is open across the Des Plaines.
