MONDAY ROLL CALL
Good Morning ( or should I say goodnite),
I am up late, and decided to post under Monday instead of Sunday.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a busy weekend. I went to the ABMC support group on Sat and thanks to all there I feel better about my self now. Thank you to all again!!
Sunday we went to Woodfield for one last shopping excursion before the Christmas season officially begins. I will not go near there again until after the holidays are over. Even today was crazy, even for a weekend. We did get some shopping done, thank goodness. We don't have a long list, which is good in these days.
We leave for Disney World in 19 days! We have been planning this trip for over a year and have paid it off a while ago, or we might not be going. We are Disneyaholics and proud of it. It is our "Happy Place". We really need this trip as we have had alot of stress in our house and Disney seems to make everything better. We should be able to go more often in the future as we bought into the Disney Vacation Club and can visit when we like now, with our vacation points. Jeff and I are planning a trip in May for just the two of us. We are excited about getting away by ourselves. It is during their Flower and Garden Festival so it should be a great time for us to go .
This week I made a pledge to myself to get to the gym a minimum of 2 days, 3 if I can swing it. I have made arrangements with a friend to meet her there so she will hold me accountable. I need accountability. I need to get moving and increase my weight loss. Plus with the trip coming up, the more I move now, the easier the walking will be.
I hope everyone has a good week!

Hi Eileen and the rest of my Illinois Buds!!
Well Elijah and I had a wonderful weekend, we just got back late this evening from visiting alot of dear old friends in Decatur, Il. You know you have good friends when you don;t see them for months and some for years, but you pick up right where you left off.
Eileen I have never been to Disney but it looks like so much fun. My DH and his ex, kids and the rest of his family many years ago went to Disney. His parents go every other year, his mother is a Disney addict...:) Eileen I started going to the gym about 2 weeks ago and I try and go every other day and already when I miss a day I miss it. I have so much energy when I'm done. So good luck and your doing a great job.
Tomorrow or today whatever way you want to look at it, I will be at Silver Cross Hosp and very good friend who had RNY back in July has had a terrible time and one problem after another, is going back in for surgery. I promised her I would be there when she goes in to surgery and I will be there when she comes out. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!!!
I have only 5 gift certificates left to buy (easy), other than that I have all the christmas shopping done...WOOHOOO!!!!!
Well everyone I'm tired from the long trip and I'm heading to lala land. Have a great day!
Big Hugs,
Angie

Good Morning IL-
It's quite chilly out there. Brrrrrrr. I'm heading out the door for work in just a few minutes. As always, work is very busy then I work at Outback tonight. So it's a full dy for me. Calvin has another interview today. I sure hope it goes well.

Good Morning Eileen and Illinois Friends!
Eileen, I am jealous of your Disney trip. It has been years since I was there, but I LOVE Disney. Disney buys their supplies from Office Max and I am on the team that handles customer service for Disney. It is always such a pleasure to work with their cast members! I am ready for a Disney trip. I love it when I get put on hold because they play all the Disney music and it really puts me in a good mood!
The weekend went really fast. I had a check class on Saturday. Then came home and finally caught up with a good friend and had a long conversation. Yesterday was church, errands and groceries. Today, it is back in the saddle with work.
I need to start thinking about my Christmas list/shopping for this year. I often do it via computer as I hate crowds. I have some presents but I usually have more done by now. Time is flying. Yikes!
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello everyone 
I'm looking forward to Friday. My daughter comes home. I keep thinking we only have two more Christmases together and then she will be off in the Peace Corp for at least two years.
I worked all weekend so it didn't seem like much of a weekend. Next weekend will be better. I'm at work and nothing more going on today. Just work, work and more work. I used to work two jobs for 6 years and quit my second job back in May. Its funny how fast you get used to having your weekends off. At first it was like a luxury having my weekends off. Now I HAVE to have them off. I'm getting lazy.
Well everyone have a good Monday

Man, it's cold outside today!!! I was out for 10 minutes and tears were in my eyes and I was shaking! (Losing my extra layers of fat has really made a difference in my tolerance of cold.)
Disney sounds good right about now!
I have my monthly support group meeting tonight--my official weigh-in, so I always get happy about that. Hopefully, I'll have some good numbers to add to my ticker tonight!
Have a great day!

Good morning! Who turned the heat off??????????
Eileen, take me with ya! I am gonna be 41, and never been, still want to go...lol
I am trying to get together people in my area for some sort of support group. Last few times I went to my surgeon's support group, it was mainly pre ops.
I did nothing all weekend, but this week will be busy. I am gonna go shopping, go ahead and get stuff for Thanksgiving, and set up Christmas display outside, but not light it.
Blessings,
Dee
