You will absolutely LOVE that remote starter!  I dont know how I lived without mine.  It is wonderful!  

Ha! a remote starter for me would have cobwebs on it with as much as I drive.

Good Morning!

Today is a busy day for me at work.  I then have class until 9:00 pm so it makes for a long day.  Saturday is my Son and Future  Daughter-in-Laws wedding shower.  I am getting excited.  The wedding is only about 7 weeks from now!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Dave and the rest of Illinois!

I am working today but feeling pretty icky.  I am nauseous and have a headache.  I am hoping it goes away soon and that I am not catching the "ick" that has been going around.

I am thinking of Christina as she has her foot surgery today and Carla as she has surgery tomorrow.  I think "Beyondthebeauty" is having her WLS surgery tomorrow too.  I am wishing them all uncomplicated surgeries and quick recoveries.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday as long as I feel better.

I have a busy day at work and a busy weekend planned.

Tomorrow is Henry's 4th birthday!  We are having a cake/ice cream party after dinner tomorrow.  I am making a Darth Vader cake and ordered light saber cookies!  He is really excited, now I just hope that he isn't sick.  He came home from school yesterday and is home today with Grandma (she watches him every Thursday) and still has a fever and dry cough.  If he isn't better I am going to cancel because there will be too many people and little kids that I don't want to get sick. 
My best friend is coming to my house this weekend as well as my sister and her two kids - so I am going to have a full house!

Saturday I am teaching a beginning knitting class and Sunday I have a get together with my cousins.  We all get together every spring and have a big meal and just hang out since we don't see each other a lot. 

WOW - I am tired just writing about what I am going to be doing this weekend!

Suggestion Dave, I would toss that roast back in the freezer until you are going to cook it.

I have been around, lurking mostly. I still am low since I had my first round of the flu back a week ago Monday. I will have days of being on the top of the world and then 36 to 72 hrs later I am aching all over and am running a low grade fever, 99+ to 102. Today was a mildly okay day, totally tired in the morning but better by the afternoon, we will see what tomorrow brings.

We still are planning on being there on Saturday even if I am feeling low. I will always have Sunday to recover. I do have a doc apt for my thyroid levels on Monday and the way I have been feeling is on the top of the list even though I am only going in for a follow-up for blood work.

One good thing is that the scale says I am down about 6#

Hi guys....can someone tell me what time the get together is on  Saturday and where in Elgin it is at?  I am planning to go.  My parents are going to watch Madison so I can enjoy myself and relax.  I'm still trying to talk Ryan into coming, but we will see.  Why is it that I have really good days with the band and then some days I feel like I can't eat anything with it and vomit with every bite I eat?  It's so frustrating!  I've been at a stand still for soooo long.  I want to start to drop again with summer coming up!  Well, I hope someone gets back to me about this weekend.  Have a great night!!!! 

Kim, here is the link from a week plus ago http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/IL/3867463/2-Weeks-and-1-d ay-till-our-get-together/  Basically, the location is on Summit (Rt 58 or Golf Rd) about 3/4 of a mile east of Rt 25 (Liberty St). I think it is on the north side of the road. Why don't you bring Madison with, kids are more than welcome. Or leave the DH with your parents and come with the kid, LOL

As far as your band - because I am not a bandster I am only guessing here but I think it is stress. Stress can cause swelling in the whole area that band goes around. Consider going for an appointment with your doc as you might need a fill or mix up your exercise vs your calorie intake.
