Thursday Roll Call
Hello Shawn and Illinois!
I'm finally home and settled from work. I left early this morning and found that the traffic was light, so I was able to travel at my own pace and actually got to work ten minutes early! My daughters did not have school today and they were very happy about that. Work was slow and I could have gone home early, but wanted to keep my hours since I was sick on Tuesday.
I have had nothing but protein today and I plan on exercising after my feet get some rest. I hate standing all day at work! I work for the next six days so I'm hoping my sore feet don't keep me from exercising at night.
I do hope that everyone is doing well and is safe today. At least the snow is pretty! :)

Hello fellow IL folks! I must be weird. I love snow - always, in all forms. :) Really.
Because I need to head off to bed --- missed bedtime by two hours and 15 minutes (this has GOT to stop), I'll do a drive-by posting. Here's my blog entry from today. Stay warm and cozy, all!
-------------------------------------\/
Something has apparently happened in my life over the past two weeks that hadn't happened to me since about 1995 (and that's a lot of years).
I lost a pound. In fact, I hear-tell --- at the pre-op dietitian-led nutrition class --- that I lost 5.
Hmmm. I must let this sink in. (Pause, pause, pause.)
I'm still struggling like a right-hander attempting to write with my left. Everything is wobbly and coarse: meal planning, food prep, weighing & measuring, reading food labels for carbs, logging the food and food values, testing my blood glucose (newly dx'ed with diabetes), timing the tests relative to mealtimes, identifying my bad food habits (that I ignored until recently), getting to bed on time, figuring out insurance, comparing hospitals/surgeons..
But, somehow, I shed some pounds.
Of course, as soon as I got home, traipsing in from the snow with the news fresh in my mind, I accepted the dinner my husband and child had left for me (they opted out of tonight's planned meal). Pizza & green beans. So, was there a bit of sabotage on my part going down? Probably.
Tomorrow, I'll try again. Seems to be working, despite my clunkiness with the process.
