Thursday Roll Call

Good Morning all my Illinois friends!  And a peacful holiday to all of my Jewish friends as well.  It's been busy which is why I've not been on much this week.  But all is good.  Food seems to be going down smoothly, and it feels like I'm losing.  Cloths seem to be slightly larger as well.  I continue to read more on Reiki and look forward to completing my level 1 class on Monday.  I will also receive my first "attunement" at that time, and that is when the real fun begins.  I've been told that I will spend 21 days after that practicing Reiki in a daily excersize toward getting more familiar with the stuff.  I'm just loving the experience.  Today looks like it will be an easy and relaxing day since most of the management in my company will be off for the holiday.  Have a great day!  Paul

Good Morning Paul & IL -
We've made it to Thursday.  My lab work came back and Dr. R wants me to see an Enchronologist about my thyroid.  The first appoint is not until Dec 2.  That seems so far away but I guess it really is not.
I have a busy day ahead of me then if I have enough energy after work, I need to cut the grass.  It rained all day on Calvin's day off and it the grass is getting thick.
Nothing much to report.  I'm still tired a lot.  I don't know if it's my vit b, d or now my thyroid or a combination.  It's no fun feeling crummy but most days I just have to keep pushing forward.

Hope everyone has a great day!
Christina

Hi Christina. You're right that December 2nd is not far away. It just amazes me how doctor appointments are not available. I hope you get an answer soon. Nothing is worse then feeling tired all the time. I felt like that last year but mine was due to low iron. Once I got my iron level up, I felt a lot stronger.

Please say hello to Calvin for me. Wishing both of you a great day as well.

Hugs,
Lucy

That amazes me that the specialist are so hard to get into. So its hurry and wait. I'm praying for you to start to gain some energy!  Hopfully before the appointment!

Hello everyone 

I'm at work yawning and wanting to go back to sleep.    I know I complain about my company alot but I'm telling you this whole customer service celebration is really lame.  Yesterday they gave us these mirrors that are about 2 inches big.  It looks like they spent a whole dime on us!!!   

Later after work I have my 2nd weigh-in!!!  Hopefully, I will do well.  I'm almost tempted to fast all day so my wieght will even be lower, I won't.  But I did put on light-weight clothing (hahahaha).   

My daughter's birthday is tomorrow!!!  The big 21!!!  Her friends are planning a big surprise party tomorrow.  She is so fooled that she is actually planning her own party because she doesn't know about her surprise party.  Where does the time go???  My baby will be 21!!!! 

Have a good day

Good Morning Paul and Illinois!

Paul, it sounds like the Reiki classes are really interesting!  How many levels are there? 

Christina, I hope they can ge to the bottom of your lack of energy and get that thyroid adjusted. 

Crystal, I know the feeling of some of the efforts of employee appreciation.  It makes you scratch your head some days. 

Not much happening in my neck of the woods.  People were really dense yesterday on the phones.  Hope they are not so bad today.  I end up getting headaches when I spend a day dealing with people who have no common sense. 

Have a great day!

Hi Paul and fellow IL friends. Paul, I want some of your energy... send it to me over the wire!

Today is a no meeting day at  work. YAY!!! I got to start packing for my trip to Milwaukee, WI. I leave on Sunday late morning and return on Wednesday afternoon. Of  course, I'm driving so I can take my WLS friendly foods with me. And my fave, AchieveOne protein drink. I'm actually excited about that, because when flying, I can't take any liquids through security check.

My pouchie has been irritable for the past few days. It likes liquids a lot better. So I am going to do liquids for a few days to see if my pouchie settles down. I've been so bad to it for some time now. I think it's retaliating!

Oh well, another day in my life to make a difference.

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

Hugs,
Lucy

Good Morning Paul, and  all in the land of Illinois. I was lurking the last 2 days, I went into work early, and got home late. The last thing I wanted to do was to be on the computer any more then I needed to be.

It is nice to see that Marilyn is posting again. She has been missed.

Its nice to see that Dawn has her car back. Maybe the gremlins have left us.

Karen, Me too. I am always cold. Even today, I have on my socks and heavy sweatshirt. I did finally go and get a small heater for my one office. I really think the staff that takes care of things loves to turn the heat off  on our side of the building just to hear us complain.

Christine, how was your company?

Christina, I really hope you start feeling better. Having low or no energy sucks.

Carol and Paulette, Hi!

Lucy, your trip to Wisconsin is coming up fast.

Paul,  Reiki sounds like its your thing to do. Keep up with it.

Nancy, its another great day in LaSalle County.

I ordered some PB2, chocolate, from Bell plantation (bellplantation.com). It is good, and for 52.5 calories a serving, you can indulge in it. I love my PB2!

Well, I am off to another fun-filled day at work. I hope to get out on time today. We shall see!

Hugs            

company=vamoose, gone, bye bye as they left Tuesday morning. I am tired still. It was a complete stretch for me to be a hostess as most of the time I am pretty much of an introvert and have to push myself to talk at times. Unless I am passionately talking about WLS! I mean I can hold my own in a conversation but if I am bombarded with questions about me etc I clam up as I am a private person. The lady that came can be very irritating at times as she is pretty much of a "La De Da" person. Always talking about all the trips they go on, things they buy etc. I can only take so much of her.

Hi Lisa & Paul,

Good Yomtov!

Carla K is here, we are leaving tomorrow for our OH Fall GTG in Frankenmuth.  I need to get back in sync.  My food has been ok, I'm down another 2 pounds.  Hopefully in the next 2 weeks things will settle down here, my daughters house is just about done!! yipee!

Hugs to all of you, Paulette
