Saturday Roll Call
Good day to everyone!
Out here in western Montgomery, we are having a balmy 27 degrees at about 5am.
Yesterday, I didn't go anywhere. My DH went in to his office. I did manage to wrap everything. I also finished clearing out an old laptop we are going to give to my DGS. And, I loaded a bunch of photos onto a digital frame we are giving to my parents.
After I was done with the wrapping, I turned on the fireplace for a while, just for the ambiance. We don't put it on that much.
Down to 267 today. I thought I would lose more during this very low calorie liquid diet, but am glad for any progeress. I started the VLCD at 276.
I bought some packets of Kellog's protein water packets for use on my clear liquid diet tomorrow. I got strawberry kiwi. I have never tried them before, but didn't want to go totally protein-free tomorrow. Each packet has 5g of protein.
I hope my mom doesn't decide to stay home today. She gets weird about traveling on roads with a higher speed limit. If she did stay home, that would definately ruin today's Christmas celebration. She didn't mind it so much when we lived in Elgin, but since we have been out here, it really bugs her.
Someone from Good Sam called and told me to get to the hospital at 10:30am for a 12:30 surgery. My instructions from Dr R's office say to get there at 9am. He had said they might try to do the surgery earlier than scheduled. I think I will aim for the 9am.
Wishing you a safe and happy day.

I didn't go any where yesterday either. I did go out and clean the ice off my car. It took me about an hour to chip all of the ice off my car. It was about 1-2 inches thick on my car. I think that was the worse I have ever seen it. The parking lot is a slushy mess.
I am going to stop by Walgreens today and that will be all. I am going to stay in. I have to pick up my daughter from the train station tomorrow. I think I may wrap my daughter's presents today. I always end up buying her a little too much. But that's ok she deserves to be spoiled once in a while.
Ilse- I'm so jealous. I wish I was going in for my surgery. I wish you lots of luck and a speedy recovery.
Have nice day
This morning I intend to get all the loose ends tied up for the coming week. Including what I am going to be wearing for the next few days. There is something liberating in just going to the closet and having everything lad out. You don't have to tax your brain thinking about it.
I finished baking yesterday. And I have all the dishes washed and labled for the holiday celebrations. I might sound efficent, but I have nothing decided on for dinner tonight.
Ilse, Monday will soon be over, and you will be on the losers bench. You have done so grear already.
Crystal, Your time is coming,
Stay safe today,

I am feeling really down today and have been crying for the last 1/2 hour for my sister. She is my best friend in the entire world and has been since we were little girls. Her hubby is an ASS, excuse my language but he is always making her feel terrible and worthless. Lisa is the kindest person you have ever met and is always finding the best in things. She sent me a very long email this morning telling me everything that's going on and I just started crying for her. She does not deserve this at all. It's starting to affect my neice as well. She sees when her daddy makes her mommy feel bad and she's a very sensitive little girl too. I just feel horrible for her.
Today Tyler has a big meet at our school. It's an 8 school meet so it will go on for a while. It starts at 10 and we'll probably be there til at least 2 or 3. After that it's back home and continue cleaning and doing things for the holidays.
I am also feeling extrememly discouraged lately because I am in a major stall again and with the holidays here I am so scared that I will gain. I just am bummed lately and I hate this feeling.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and stay warm and safe!

I'm sorry about all your troubles. I was thinking about your sister and I have to say you could have been talking about me. Right down to her daughter. That was me 12 years ago. I know it sounds hard but she needs to think about getting her self in a place where she can leave him. Like I went back to school. I know its hard but I did it and I'm so much happier. He had me thinking I was worthless. You know the funny thing is I'm now doing better than he is now.
As far your stall goes. Its the holidays and everyone struggles through the holidays. I have no doubt that you will be losing again in no time. I know this time next year I will probably be complaining about the same thing and you will comforting me.
Anyway, you are right about my stall and you are also right that I will be here for you every step of the way. Someday we'll even meet since we are fairly close to each other. hugs my friend

I know how bad this is, as no position can aleviate the dizzy feeling. All you can do is stay in bed. Be careful walking around as you may fall from the disorientation.
My husband has Meniers Disease, also called ( benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) a vertigo illness that can come and go. He has had it for 22 years, with only 1-2 episodes per year. He does some exercises that see to help.
This website details the exercise you could do at home. http://www.tchain.com/otoneurology/disorders/bppv/bppv.html
This routine helps keep the inner ear fluid balanced.
Hugs to you!
