Wednesday roll call

Janet,

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Good morning Paul and fellow Illinois friends!

Paul, hang in there, I'm sure the weight will fly off. You're doing so well. I am happy for you!

I'm happy because I've exercised all days since Sunday. That's a first in a very long time!  I am so looking forward to the next couple of months, and regain the real Lucy! She is back and somewhat fierce, having a goal in sight and no one or nothing is going to stop her get there. YAY!!! My fighting spirit is back.

It's a *****illy out this morning. I actually set my alarm clock but woke up without it. Another YAY!!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Wednesday.

Hugs,
Lucy

Good morning friends! Happy October! Can you believe it's here already? This is the first day in a long time that I have posted in the dark. Oh well.  

Paul, I'm glad you are working on energy flow. We have an accupuncture doc talk to our students and I've been fascinated by his material. As far as nutrition, I don't think we get enough info on that since every nutritionist working with WLS has a different story. I feel like I got derailed by mine about 6 months ago and now that I'm back to doing what I did in the beginning I am losing weight again. We do have to listen to our own bodies!

Have a good day!

Good Morning Paul and my IL family
Today I am very annoyed with my husband who ruined one of my tires on my van yesterday because he used pliers to pry off the air valve and it completely broke off!!  My tires have sensors in them and now it's going to cost us about $150 to fix the darn thing.  Extra money we really don't have to spend at this point.  The thing that makes me mad is that my tires didn't even need air!!  That's the reason we got the sensors!!
Then he acted like it was my fault!!  whatever.
So today, I get to go and pick up my tire at the dealership and pay them!  I also have to stop at the orthodontist for Tyler and pick up a new mouth gaurd for football and some new rubber bands for his braces and I think that's it.
Does anyone know where I can find a water bottle that has a strap on it??  Jacob and I are heading out to my parents this weekend for a big festival they have every year and I want to make sure I have my water bottle with me at all times.  I got dehydrated in MI a few weeks back and it was terrible.  Don't want to do that again.  If I carry a water bottle I know that I will set it down to look at something and it will be gone!  lol
After picking up Jacob from drama and Tyler from football tonight, nothing going on here...
Have a great day everyone!

Hi Monica. What about trying a sporting goods store? You could try the discounted department stores, but I think it's out of season.

I don't want my dear friend to get dehydrated!!!

Sorry to hear about your additional stress with the tires. Ouchie!!

In less than a week, I'll get to see you again. YAY!!!
I'm checking into a place we can go after your appointment.

Take care.

Hugs,
Lucy

Lucy, that's a good idea, there's an MC Sports on the way home from the car dealer, I will stop there and check. 
Yay, I am so looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday!!

Hi Monica,

Sorry about your woes with the tires, that is a real bummer.

As for strap for water bottle, they have a harness for water bottles at  The Container Store.
 




















or they have a clip, looks like this;



I like the clip because you can attach to a backpack. 

Omg no wonder I spend $80 everytime I go in that store, I find so many cool things.

I have seen those and they are great, but I don't buy bottled water, I have a bottle that I reuse that is safe...

Monica

My daughter has a water bottle called Klean Kanteen (you can visit their website)  you can by them at sports stores.  The lid has a hole for a straps or a clips.  My daughter (remember she is studying Environmental Science @ U of I)  said that they environmentally safe and they don't leech any toxins into your water, I guess plastic bottles do.  They do cost more than usual bottles but because they are metal they are virtually indestructible and last a very long time. 

Good Morning IL!!!

OK, Happy Birthday to Janet! Sorry everyone is having car issues.....I am too. I have something in my front end that needs fixed but I just don't have the money to do it so I will live with the sound of rubber rubbing rubber sound when I turn my wheel.

I am 6 days away from surgery. I am very excited. I am **** full of protein shakes though. Literally it takes everything I have to drink them now because I am so tired of them. My weight isn't moving and I think my body is like saying what the heck you doing to me. I am down 13.9 lbs by my scale but from my consult which was 2.5 days after I started my shake I am only down like 6lbs. I'm not sure the dr will be happy about that but I am doing what I am supposed to me doing my body is just being stuborn!

Anyway, I am very excited about my surgery! I just wi**** would get here already! I am cold today too. I so want coffee but I know the only thing we have here is full caffinated stuff and I would want cream & sugar in it too which I also can't have so I am avoiding it. I am sipping my water which is just making me colder. LOL

Have a great day everyone!
Annie
