Thursday Roll Call
Morning to ya all great Land of Lincoln Peeps. Peeps, now there is one Easter candy I do not miss, nor never really liked (give me chocolate), too sweet for me even before surgery. They do come in some pretty colors now instead of just pink or yellow.
Hair cut for me afterwork and then wait around for Dave to call at about 9pm to pick him up. I might get out in the back yard and rake some leaves as it is finally drying up out there. I do not remember water just sitting there in all the 30+ years we have been there.

Hello everyone
This week is just dragging. Yesterday was one of the longest days. For some reason I was really hungry too. Probably because of boredom. Like I said before I'm just not challenged anymore by my job. But on the good side I think when I get back after my surgery I think I will be transitioning to my new position as manager. Because my boss was telling me she needs to train me on my new duties. So that will be nice.
I stayed up late reading again. I'm half way through the last Twilight book and I am sort of sad because I want the story to go on and on. I don't want it to end.
Have a nice day.

Hi everybody, Well did you ever have a brain freeze. I was getting ready to go to the gym and realized that I had volunteered to bring baked potatoes for the food day at work. So off to the store at 5:30 to get them into the oven. duh. So I'll just change my schedule and go to the gym on Saturday to make up for today.
Got lots of rest last night because Tue night I had a bad bout of dumping syndrome. My DH always says your eating too fast but I know the real culprit was sugar. I had apple, banana, dried cranberries (just a little of each) with peanutbutter. Sugar is a real issue for me and throws me like a loop if I get a little too much every time. So I'm off real foods for my last meal of the day. Only protien shakes or protien bars. Got to give my tummy a real rest.
Still in training at work so I'm putting in extra hours to cover the rest of my job. yuck! Love my job hate working till 7:00. It's going to be a stressful couple of weeks but will get thru it.
The scale has started to drop this week after 3 weeks of no weight loss again, I've dropped 3 lbs. Really happy about this as I go to the Dr. next week and would like to be down to 160. Then I only have 10 more lbs to reach my high goal. I'm 30 lbs from where I would like to really be but am so happy to be where I am.
My new mantra. Take pride in where you are, have faith in where you can be.
Everyone have a blessed day.

Good morning Christine and IL friends. Happy St. Joseph's Day. It's the day for zembolis (not sure of the spelling). I can tell you that I sure craved some. But I am not going to eat any! I did buy 2 for my sister and dropped them off at her front door this morning on my way to work. So no temptations for me. They are yummy... like a cruller filled with custard and other fruits, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, etc... I told myself that I am fresh out of surgery and my body can't tolerate it and I would get sick! YAY!!! 
I've got 2 great days down with journaling so I need to keep focusing on what I want. I want to be the person I was 2 years ago and I am going to get there!
I can say that I am not hungry at all. It's all about head hunger. Yesterday was one of the worst days at work. But, when I was going through the change in the hospital services almost 4 years ago, I couldn't eat down my stress. So, why now? I am trying to keep that thought in my mind. I have to find another way to relieve my stress. Food is not the answer. I know that.
My boss was emphatic with my situation at work. So I was able to call my employee back to work some hours even though she is part time and is going to a 3 day software seminar next week. I was going to be without help for 6 days and there's way too much going on here that all needs to be done now.
Thanks to everyone here for your supportive messages. I love you all!!
Have a wonderful Thursday.
Hugs,
Lucy

Hi Christina. I'm giving it my all! Journaling isn't as easy as I thought. I have to give a lot of thought, first what to eat, do I have it, how much, and check the labels. Making sure that I get in my protein for the day.
I'm going to make day 3!! YAY!!! I want to be my old self again.
Hope you're on the mend after your foot surgery.
Hugs,
Lucy
