Everyone have a great Monday stay safe and warm

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Good morning Dave and Illinois friends!

I am up and starting to wake up but that is questionable.  I just love Mondays .... NOT.  I had a good weekend but now it is time for the reality of back to work. 

Today I get off early from work and go to my semi yearly neurological appointment.  She is wonderful and helps me prevent my migraines!  Not everyone gets to say that they like having their head examined.

Nothing else exciting planned.  Hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning Dave and IL friends.

Perhaps adding some protein powder to your oatmeal will also help as there is not much or nil protein in oatmeal by itself. Just a thought.

YAY!! I got through day 3 at 100%. All protein and vegetables. I even tried my idea of taking lo fat ricotta and putting in cinnamon and splenda. That was yummy and protein rich too. No episodes at all since my removal of some fill from the band. I'm feeling pretty good and keep focusing on the summer coming soon. I'm going to wear my bikinis again  and get into the spirit of Lucy again. The one that is young at heart and adventurous too.

I'm waiting to hear about my mortgage and hope to close this week. I started packing for my trip to visit Mom next Wednesday. I rented a car so I could take my sister and go cruising the town!

I'm thinking about protein rich meals and if needed a small snack in the evening. I'm sure eating a lot healthier since Friday. There are so many good choices and taste good as well.

I am also asking myself if my pouch is hungry or is it head hunger? It's HEAD HUNGER most of the time. My pouch is very happy at the moment and satisfied with what it is getting in nutrients.

For breakfast today, I'm having Kashi Go Lean cereal with blueberries and 4 oz of skim milk. That will be yummy, protein rich and filling. For lunch, fresh shrimps over a mixed green salad. Yummy, I love shrimp. Dinner, some leftover tilapia with vegetables. Snack - maybe a weigh****chers yogurt or part of a grapefruit.

I am at work and it's nice and quiet now!

Stay warm and safe! Have a wonderful Monday wherever you are today. Yes, I did part of my exercises this morning and will finish them after work today, as I got up later than usual.

Hugs,
Lucy

Lucy, I am sorry the mortgage lady did not call you yesterday so you can get a handle on what your finances are going to be. Hopefully you have heard by now.  Keep up the good work with the new diet plan.

Hi Chris. I just got another kick in the pants with this mortgage thing.  Just when I think that I'm going to be ok, another snag.

With the closing costs and bad news on the appraisal amount, I may be in the same spot for some time. I wasted my money on an application with Chase as well as the appraisal. It's like they don't want to help the customer manage their debt. No wonder so many people are into foreclosure. I'm not there, it's just "enough is enough". I'm trying to keep myself together and stay on track. It's just so hard when I start to get somewhere and then this big stressor comes back again. Arghhhh!

Sorry for the venting here. Maybe this will help to write it down.

I'm having a cup of Joe right now to satisfy my intense craving and urge to eat.

Thanks for the well wishes though!

Lucy

Good Morning Dave and the rest of my IL family

First off, let me say THANK YOU DAVE for that link you sent me!  I loved it and it did what I needed it to do.  I turned my research paper in yesterday!  yay. 

Today I have NO plans really.  I am SO tired from the busy week last week and the weekend too.  I am one who catches up on my sleep on the weekends and I didn't get to do that this time around.  I was up at 6am every day for the last 10 days!  lol  I know that's normal for most of you, but not me! LOL   I will be starting my business math class and might start doing some of that.  I really want to get moving on my classes and find a good job.  I am finding that some days I actually miss working.  Others, well I love being home with the kids and just being a house frau! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful, warm and safe day today!!

Monica

Another note from me!

My friend Aleece posted a separate Monday roll call just above Dave's. Can you all give her a quick welcome and hello in her post? I'd appreciate that. It's the first time she's posted a topic.

Thanks,
Lucy

Good morning everybody,

Still trying to wakeup here but it is a typical Monday for everyone here (grumpy & tired people). All of this talk about Oatmeal got me motivated to finally eat a packet of strawberry oatmeal that my wife packed for me. This appears to be one of those rinse and repeat days for me. I hope everyone has a good one.

Good morning Dave and Illinois!

Not much on the agenda today....maybe some laundry.....spent time with Ava, Vince and Hayden on Saturday. Hayden is almost three months old now. Boy does time fly. He coos out loud and laughs a lot. The bigger ones keep him amused. He resembles Ava a lot. We did absolutely nothing yesterday. Need to get another star added to my tattoo........and must decide what other one to get. I'm thinking some type of design across my shoulders to tie into the butterfly I already have. I want to get it done soon.

Lucy..you changed your avatar....didn't recognize you for a second.........I like it!

Hope everyone has a great day!
Keep warm and keep safe!
Carol
