Tuesday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois!

I'm up getting the kids ready for another beautiful day.

My daughter is taking her finals today so please send her some good vibes. 

My son wants to take his tarantula to school today for show & tell...NOT! I'm going to take a picture for him.

I'm still cleaning so no gym for me today. I may do my Wii Fit instead.

Have a GREAT day Illinois!!!

Good Morning Juanita and Illinois!

I see this board had a little spice while I was out of town. Usually see that on the main board! lol

Seems like cloudy start today but I'll take it over the snow.  I'm working on my 5th book right now, and its driving me crazy. Pray for me. Going to work and trying to make my exercise routine a little smoother...

No traveling this month, hopefully I can get my food routine back in order. Got my fav protein shake back (Oh Yeah! Strawberry) and my extra crunchy peanut butter for snack!  Finally made my support group meeting this month, that was great.  I'd like to lose 5 more lbs by my anniversary 1-29. We'll see??

See you guys tomorrow - have a WLS..errific day!

Good Morning Juanita, Candy and Illinois buddies!

I've missed chatting with you all.  I've been obnoxiously busy lately, and have barely had the time or energy to open my computer!

Juanita, I'm sending good vibes to your daughter!  Finals weeks is so stressful! 

Things have been going well for me.   I'm still struggling a bit with getting all my water in, especially when I'm working.  I realized I went the whole 12 hour shift without peeing one day last week which was NOT GOOD!  My poor kidneys!    

I started working out more regularly at a Fitness 19 near me.  I paid for 20 personal training sessions to get me motivated and MAKE me show up at the gym.  Once I get past the initial pain, I know I'll enjoy it and that will make me want to go on my own.  It feels so good to be ABLE to move around again. 

On New Year's Eve, I did something that I never thought I'd do again, I went to a family New Year's Eve party at a local roller rink and actually ROLLER SKATED  with my daughter and husband!  I may have been the biggest person there, but I was not the worst skater! 

So for the New Year of 2010, I'd like to sayTHANKS! to all of you for your friendship and support as I started this amazing journey.  I can't believe how much my life has improved in the last three months.

Hey Stephanie

Try a little harder to get your water in. If you can, keep a bottle near you at all times.

Rollerskating? You go girl!!! It only gets better  

Thanks Juanita,  you are right, I've got to improve the H2O intake.  The hard part for me is that I'm an ICU nurse, and I'm not allowed to have a water bottle out at the nursing station.  I will just have to make myself take the time to drink enough.  I get so involved with my patients that the time flies and I don't realize I haven't had anything to drin****il it's lunch time already.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day to work at it!

Stephanie

Hello everyone

I am at work and decided pop over and say hi.  Even though I am over loaded with work.  I will never catch up.  I already work 10-15 hours of over time to get stuff done and I still can't get stuff done. 

I know what you mean by spice.  I won't mention names but quite a few people on here got irritated by this person.  I don't know if anyone will join that group.  I've been on here for a year and half and never saw people get so upset.  Oh well.

Well I got to get back to work. Have a nice day.    

I went to exercise class this morning! I almost did not go but, I made myself do it and I am glad I did!

I am going to rest the hip now its killing me. That was why I had stopped the exercise but its been this way for a while so back to working out! Nothing much going on here just enjoying the weather!

Way to go Karen!!!!  Sometimes it is good to do things we don't really WANT to do!

Good for you Karen!  It's so hard to get into the "exercise"  swing of things.

Good morning everyone! Tuesdays are my favorite day, it is the day that all 3 kids are in school.  My youngest has preschool today so I get 2.5 hours to myself.  I already went and got my van cleaned (it's blue!! Not salt grey!) bought dog food, went to Farm n Fleet and picked up a steel rack to organize the kids toys, and then picked up my check from a consignment sale.   Phew!!

Next is work with the kiddies and then home.  So glad the weather is warming up a bit!

And now it is only 2 more days til I have my appointment! YaY!

Have a great day everyone!
