Monday roll call

Where in the 'burbs?????

Hello and happy monday.

I took off wor****il Feb. 1st for my surgery so I am not at work. I probably will go back sooner then that because I feel pretty good.

I really wanted to get the eating thing down before I went back, but I think that can take the rest of my life. And I don't have that much savings. :) 

I still get a little sick to my stomach when I bounce around too much while driving, so I will probably take a couple more days off. (I drive a bus for work)

I haven't had pain meds since I was at the hospital, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I just got my grades for last semester......... I got all A's. Woo Hoo except for one class I got an incomplete because my final was scheduled for the same time and day as my surgery.  I get to make it up on Monday Jan. 5th. (Pray for me)

(Little side story)  I never expected to go this far in college. I was a garbageman and expected to do that until I hit 60 or so then retire and move to Florida. But I got hurt on the job and had to take a early (Partial) pension and stop working after 13years. I was always afraid of school so I never went, but I always wanted to. So I was sitting around the house and decided to go to school. I told myself that I would take the hardest classes I could get into and if I failed I would go do something else. So I took Biology + lab, Chemistry + lab, Algebra, and English in the first semester. I got all A's. WOW! I shocked myself. So I decided to take the next hardest classes I could the following semester. I took Microbiology, Organic Chemistry +lab, Statistics and Human A+P and lab. I got all A's again. I put off english because I don't like english. (Matter a fact I am taking the last english I will ever take this next semester.)  So there I sat with all these hard classes under my belt and no degree in aim. So I wnt to a advisor for the first time after a year and a half of college, because I didn't expect to still be there. SInce then I have gotten all A's in all my classes except 1 when I got a B. (It was a womens health class. You women have some screwie hormones going on) Anyway I got a degree in Nursing and now am turning it into a teaching degree in special education. I also have a ton of math sciences and history classes so I am getting certified to teach all those also. Its all good.

Anyway, back to the day.

I am doing nothing today. I am thinking of cashing in a CD and buying a big fat TV and a stationary bike to work out on. But I haven't made my mind up yet. I hate to take the $40 hit to ca**** in.

Haven't eaten yet. I am sipping on a Potein shake. I got some Cookies and Cream flavored shake mix from Walmart. It is pretty good with powdered milk. Tastes like Hot Cocoa.

Thats about it.

Oh, my hott coffee date went pretty good. She has texted me about 15 times to make sure I know that she is interested in seeing me again. :)

Have a good day.

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone has a good day without any major problems or melt downs (except the snow)
Not much going on here unfortunately, the same ole, same ole, another boring day at home.  Yesterday all the decorations came down and now my house looks so plain.  Just doing laundry and straightening up, will hit the cleaning hard tomorrow.  Again have a great day!!

Big Hugs,
Angie

GMI,

DW seems better this morning but notover the croup.  A lot less blowing, sniffling and coughing though.

Lights are down and put away.  Part of one strand was out the last few days so I guess I will either get some new ones or play with bulbs next year.

Staying on plan calorie wise but have gone to eggs and bacon for breakfast.  That will mean less SlimFast.  My nut wanted me to go back to logging my foods but I really do not want to do that unless I see myself going off plan.  How important is doing what they say to do in terms of appproval from BCBS?  It seems funny that if I am losing weight successfully on my plan that it would not be held up as a reason not to do the surgery by the insurance company.  Regain I guess is more of a problem for those who do not do WLS.

I wanted to tell you that your new Avie is great!

 I had an interesting experience this morning.  I went downstairs to make some SF jello and a high protein drink.  I also started some laundry.  When I went back upstairs, I felt really light headed and almost thought I was going to pass out.

I'm glad I haven't tried to go out anywhere.  I had thought of going to Wal-Mart.  I figure I can go with DH if I really need to go there.

Hi everyone,
I did great during Christmas, but I seem to be struggling with just eating protien and constipation.  Today I drank some herbal tea to see if it helps.  Hope evryone is doing good you are all in my prayers.  Happy Monday!!!!!

Hello Illinois,

Thought I'd pop in to say hello even if it is late in the day.  We've been busy with our granddaughters all day, now waiting for their mom to get here.  We took them to see Marley & me at the show this afternoon, we all loved the dog!!

Hope you all had a great day, Paulette

Nancy thank you!  It took me forever to upload that thing and it still isn't the way I would like it to look.
