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!
Carol

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.

Hi Dave,

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...

Watch for signs that say tailoring and alterations.  The cost is much less than buying new at the tall and big mens stores.


Randy

So you have been forgiven?

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.

Aleece

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:

Tell someone that you love them!
