Thursday Roll Call

yeah, it is going on real soon. I just need to get my ironing done then I will take the boot up with me to finish my packing.

Hello everyone

Checking in late again.  My new job has me busy, busy, busy.  At least I'm not bored anymore.

Tonight I'm going to a Twilight party and then we are going to watch New Moon!!!  I'm soooo excited.  I love those books and I can't wait to see the movie.  I have my Twilight shirt on today also.  I know I'm a big dork...but I don't care I'm having fun!!!

I have it easy for Thanksgiving.  I go to my ex in-laws house for Thanksgiving.  I know that is weird but they are MY family.  And since my EX is such a a$$ he doesn't appreciate his own family and has even stolen from them.  They have pretty much cut off  all ties to him.  So if he doesn't want his family, I took them.  They are great ...I can't believe he is part of that family....maybe he was switched at birth...hahaha.

Have a great day. 

Good morning Lisa and the rest of Ilinois!

Thank you all so much for the happy birthday wishes.  They really made my day.  I stayed down most of yesterday just resting. 

It turns out that I DO have a urinary infection so I got a new prescription for my birthday.  It is the same antibiotic that I was taking at first, but now it is doubled.  It causes nausea and drowsiness so we will see how things go.  Now, I am at work for a few hours.  I plan to be home by early afternoon taking a nap.

Glad to see that Kathy is home and recovering.

Sending big hugs to Nancy.  Maybe her recovery will be relaxing?

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Hi everyone,

It has been a few days since I checked in. Coming up on week 3 and so far so good. I officially made the switch to soft proteins but I am still taking it easy on what I put in. I figure I would wait until at least the month mark before I test out the new stomach. The scale has slowed really down this week but I think my body is playing catch up. I am excited about all of the changes and am already down 2 pants sizes since this all started. I really wasn't expecting the waist to go down so fast and I made my wife and I late to a movie because I had to dig through my old clothes for smaller pants. It was the first time in a long time that I had that kind of problem. It felt good. I hope everyone is feeling better today?

Thanks
Omar

Good Morning Everyone,
Today is a slow day at work and all I can think about is eating.  My husband is taking me out for dinner tonight.  So since I am determined not to let eating out ruin my good week of weight loss (4 pounds since Monday) I went on a website that has certain foods from different restaurants to see what I can eat.  I decided on Chilis and am having the Guiltless Buffalo Chicken Sandwich for 390 calories.  And then that will be 830 cal for the day, so I can afford to go home and have a fudge ice cream bar.  
 

I know winter has not officially started, but I think I need to move to Florida.  I am wearing a turtleneck, a very heavy sweater and my fathers winter coat and I am still cold.  I am glad to be losing weight, but I miss my natural insulation.

Have a great day and try to stay warm

Good afternoon everyone,

It sure is chilly today.  I am a preschool teacher and we go outside every day, but we got a repreive today with the rain.  Although, it is better for everyone if the kids can blow off their steam outside rather than inside.  lol

I think I have found a way for the shakes to work for me.  I have changed the way I am making them and they are much more palatable.  So, far today, I am doing excellent.  Feeling good and alert. 

Have a good evening!
