Monday Roll Call

Good morning everyone!

To those of you heading out to work, wishing you a safe journey.

I am home again this week.  I will try to pop out to Wal-Mart and then the post office to mail something.  My DH will work out of the house tomorrow, so he can see me safely to my Dr's appointment.

Nothing else going on.  Not walking as much as I should.  Between knee pain and having my heart start pounding when I do walk, I haven't been doing it.  I wish I could swim to work out the stiffness in my neck and shoulders.  I think that is left over from the fall.

Yesterday was the last day to save a lot of $$ on a season's pass to Raging Waves water park in Yorkville.  I did manage to order mine on Saturday.  Last summer I would get there around 2:30-3:00 and jump around in the wave pool for an hour or so.

Weight seems to be hovering at the same spot.  That's okay, I'm still sticking to the liquid diet.  I think I move to pureed foods Thursday or Friday.  I did get some hunger pangs yesterday.

Wishing all of you a warm and happy day.

Good Morning Illinois,

It is a cold one this morning. Is everyone ready to start a new week? For some of us, we will get one more day off this month, for others, none til May.

For me today, I have to go to Hoffman Estates and see my Dr. Guskie. Then we are t omeet cousins for lunch or soup. I know I need a fill, I can eat everything in site and I am hungry again in less then 2 hours. Plus  I know I have gained some weight. Not good.

Have a great day, stay warm and safe.

Good morning Lisa and IL friends!

Lisa don't forget to wear your new sexy red bra!! I'm fearing my visit with Dr. Guske. Of course, once you look into his dreamy eyes, etc... all is lost!

Good luck with the visit and have fun with your cousins over lunch.

Stay safe and warm on your trip up my way!

Hugs and Love,
Lucy

Good morning all.

I just realized I have no funeral clothes that fit me, so I guess I need to go find something, and was planning to get a couple new bras to hold in my side boobs...lol  All I can do now is look at my breast and cry...My friend that died kept teasing me about getting my boobs done after the hard time I had with the last surgery I kept telling her no, and she kept asking...lol

Have a great day.

Good morning all!  It is cold out there!  I'm just not ready to start the new year, but I'm here and that's the first step.  My weight is still the same, but I'm looking forward to starting the excersize program that I've talked about.  I could probably use a fill, but I am still getting resistance on a regular basis so I figure I'll just try and adjust my acticity level.  Yesterday was a bad day as far as holding food down, but I survived.  Today I'm doing soup for lunch so that should give my body a break.  When we ere cleaning out Liz's grandmothers house, I was given an old fountain pen (I collect them), and that has spawned a sudden buying spree on ebay.  I several nice old pens and a few new ones at great prices.  Now I just need to wait for them to come in the mail.  I'm looking forward to massage school starting, but still don't know the exact date.  Hopefully, I'll hear something this week.  That's all for now, stay warm!

Good morning everyone!

I am dreading going out in the cold.  The last few days have been nice in comparison to this morning.  Yesterday when I was out I froze.  Today is pj attire at work so at least I get to wear my flannel pj's and be cozy.  No need to spend a lot of time thinking about what to wear. 

I think I am finally starting to feel better.  I am ready to eat some regular food today so will see how that goes. 

I had a nice weekend vegging.  Dont get those very often. 

Lisa, good luck at your doctor's appointment.  Stephie, we are thinking about you during your surgery today.  Dee, prayers for yu during this tough week. 

Hope everyone has a great day. 

Nothing much going on here.

I get to take my final that I didn't get to take at the end of last semester because of my surgery.

So pray for me. (Actually  have a B in the class so far without taking the final so I didn't really study.) 

I just don't want to go outside. Its too cold.

So I have to go try to get something to eat before I go.

Have a good day all.

Good morning to all! 

Lisa,  I understand about the weight gain thing. I had done well during the holidays even lost 2 pounds. Well DH showed up at home on the 31st.  First thing he wanted was to go out to Hometown Buffet. We went. Yes I ate! Then New Years Day he wanted to go out for breakfast, yes back to Hometown Buffet. I have an addiction to BACON, I sat there enjoying his company and I bet I ate a pound w/o realizing it! Then he wanted a full turkey meal so I quick thawed out a 13 pound turkey I had. Pealed potatoes, made cornbread dressing, and if I say so the best gravy ever!  Not to mention double chocolate chip cookies with and w/o walnuts, macadamia nut cookies with and w/o coconut! Need I say more. He's home for 5 days and I gain 10 pounds. Well this morning he took back off and most likely will not be back home for a couple months, I miss him already! He loves to eat and he likes to do it a lot. So today I am back to the beginning stag and reset my self for proper eating!


I am now having so colon trouble due to eating the wrong foods and my lower back and tummy just hurts. Took some MOM today and should get relief soon!

Ok enough about me, have a great day and stay safe.

edit: I just found out my stepbrother passed away Jan 2...he lives in New Mexico and his natural siblings did not think we would want to know since their dad passed away a yr ago Sept. His daughter called my mom yesterday to tell her... He was  a very nice guy and I know he will be missed! Step siblings can be difficult to deal with.

 Good Morning my friends

Today I am heading to my gyne appt...yep, it's time for that yearly exam again...yuck..lol  I am also going to talk to them about going back on my antidepressants.  Things are just not good for me and I am wondering if that is what I need again.  We shall see.
I also have a cold now too, but it's not horrible and hopefully it won't get that way either. 
The kids are back to school..though not one of them wanted to get up and go this morning!  Can ya blame them, it's freezing out!!  lol

Well other than that, I will be doing some homework and I will also be starting to clean up Mike's desk...I made a resolution for him...to be more organized and neat by his work area!  lol  It's such a huge mess I don't see how he can work there.  He laughed his butt off when I told him that I made the resolution FOR  him!  lol

Have a wonderful, warm and safe day today!

Good morning friends!

A whole week of work--oh, that's how it's supposed to be. I forgot! It's been nice to have time off. I am so ready to set a date to retire, but I'm thinking this is not the economy to do it.

I need to kick up my protein and exercise. I made my lunch today and it's all protein. Better choices.

Have a good day and stay warm!
