Friday Roll Call
Good morning Christine and Illinois!
Now that I took a day off from spring cleaning it is time o finish. I need to do the living room and dining room then I will be done.....If I get back on track it will be done today!!!!!!
Bella has been confining herself to her room since she came home from the vet yesterday. She was a bit more perky this morning and wanted to go out and ate a little. Hopefully she will be back to her old perky self in the next few days.
The only plan I have for this week-end is to meet my daughter and her old neighborhood friend for lunch tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it as I haven't seen Erin in a few years. Her mom and I were good friends until her passing many years ago. Erin is now expecting twins!
Hope you all have a great day!

Good morning all-
Well it seems that I made it through last night with two extra friends spending the night. They were up way too late for 7 year olds and now up too early! Oh well! They are having fun!!!
I need to go look for a formal dress today to take on my cruise. My husband has talked me into looking for one. I am going to finish packing and gotta stop at the store for my protein powder to take with me! I have to leave at 4:30 am tomorrow for ohare!
I will probably not be on here for till after the trip so I hope everyone has a wonderful few days! I will be thinking of you all while I am in Jamaica and Grand Cayman! I am leaving just in time to get away from the cold icky weather!
Stay safe and warm!

Hi ALL!
I am sorry it has been so long since I have been regularly posting. I feel like I am missing alot.
I am on spring break from work this week. Last week I was on spring break from college, and next week I am getting my girls all week because they are on spring break.
Spring breaks for me is about a month long event that causes me more trouble and work then they are worth. It may take until the end of the year before I am used to going back to my regular schedule after they are all over.
These breaks are about to kill me.
Anyway, I am still losing, and losing fast. I don't know how much I am down, but I have pants that didn't come close to fitting before that are coming close to not fitting again the other way. I am wearing a bunch of sweat pants now. I was hoping to wear shorts all summer, instead of buying clothes, but they are all too big too. SO I don't know what I am going to do. I think I may cut off all my sweat pants for shorts for the summer, then buy some clothes come fall.
All is good. I bought a beautiful patio furniture set. It has 4 padded chairs, a nice table, a fire pit and a grill. I am going to be in heaven this summer. I need to get an unbrella now, and I will have it made.
I have been driving my little Civic the last couple days. It is so good on gas I can't believe it. It looks like it is getting more gas while I drive sometimes. I like my new Element, but it is only getting about 28 or so MPG. I think the Civic is getting close to 45 if I don't try to race it, or do 100 or anything like that. I am glad i bought it. If you didn't know the story...... I won it on ebay. Actually it was kind of an accident. I bid real low expecting someone to out bid me. I was going to let my son learn to drive in it, but I decided it was too nice for him to tear up, so I am keeping it. I will find an old junker for him later. He is only 14.
Anyway, life is good. The weather is getting nicer. I have finally been able to take a walk once in a while. The rain the last couple days kinda stinks, but we need it for the farms.
Can't wait until it gets warm and stays warm. I am going to lose another 50-75 lbs by 4th of july. Its a goal.
Have a good day. I will try to post more next week when I can get back into my normal schedule.

It is awesome that the weight is dropping so quickly, reading these stories just makes me very anxious on my journey. I can't wait...

How are things going with the new sweetie?
Hi everyone,
Been at work since 6am and it has been a quiet day so far.
I went and got fitted for my crowns yesterday at the dentist and that wasn't any fun. The dentist must have taken4 different molds of my teeth. Now I just need to go back in 3 weeks for the final product. I finally got back my Lipid Profile results and everything looks good except for my low HDL (32). Still waiting on the cardiologist to see what he thinks I should do about it but I am going to assume that he suggest weight loss and exercise. Looking at your lipid profile can be a roller coaster ride, I got really excited when I saw an overall CHL of 128, and a LDL of 77, but then had to scratch my head at the 32. In any event, one more thing that I will have better control over with WLS. TGIF....

Hi all.
I tried posting yesterday, but OH wouldn't let me.
I have my 2nd interview today at 2:45, so I will update when I get home.
My knees can tell me that the weather is gonna be yucky this weekend, maybe I should be a forecaster...lol
I need to call my surgeon, seems like a lot of things I eat anymore comes back up, not sure why.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Hello everyone,
I have not been on this week,. I was in D.C. Saturday -Tuesday with 40 8th graders and two more chaperones. The trip was great. Everything went well. I was in all day Wednesday nd did nothing but sleep and relax. Yesterday my mom and I went to Horseshoe casino in Indiana. We had a great day and I won $7.00. Today, I am running errands and getting back to the health club. My husband and I are trying to plan at least one day during the week to go together and then we usually do the weekends together. It should help.
I am spending part of today looking for new recipes. I am so tired of the meals we eat and i need to change it.
Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates. Have a good weekend.

Dear Aleece:
If there is something in particular that you are looking for, let me know, I have tons of recipes.
Otherwise, look back at the board posts and look for the "R.O.D." posts. These are all things that are good for us.
There is also a recipe board here on OH to get ideas:
