Friday Roll Call

Good Morning Illinois,

TGIF. Nothing much happening today.
 
Just going shopping and watch the road construction in front of my house.

This project is going the lenght of the town, and we are at the beginning. They are laying a completely new sewer system to replace the one that is over 100 years old. There have been some inconveniences,  such as no electric at times, water was off all day yesterday, no gas today. and the worst, we have to park at the corner and walk up to the houses.

What are you doing today?

Stay warm, dry, and safe. It looks like rain over the weekend.

Huggers,
LISA

GM Lisa and everyone else,

i feel really blah today, although as of yesterday i'm 10 lbs down since Jan 7th, at work now, i'm tired, this class is really killing me. 

Not much to report, so enjoy your day.

Is that 10 lbs. in 2 weeks?????
Awesome!  Keep up the good work, even though the loss will slow down, keep at the program!  You are doing very well!

Good evening Lisa and the rest of Illinois!

I could not get on all day at work.  It was "one of those days".
I am home now and ready for the weekend to begin.

The kids are eating frozen pizza and I am having some left over brocolli.
Tomorrow, they have and extended rehearsal and I will help with costumes for part of the day, then make a Wally World run.  Time to pick up my tax software!

I won certificates for next week in Madison where it is "Restaurant Week".  I am excited to check it out, but know that I will be bringing home enough food for me to eat for a whole week!  If the certificates get here by tomorrow, we may make a "girls night" out of it as my boys are attending a concert on Sunday in Rockford.

That's about it for me at the moment........

Good morning Illinoisans!

Roll call is going slowly this morning since it's almost 9AM. I was reading yesterday's posts and concerns about swallowing vitamins. The band is at the bottom of the new stomach and so if the vitamins could be swallowed before, they should still go down. They dissolve in the new stomach and then go through the band. I take a huge gel multivitamin and it goes down fine. In fact I take all my pills at once in a gulp. 

We haven't had as much ice as the rest of you. I've been out every day and it's been fine. Kay has been teaching for two weeks but today she gets to knit with me, so I am looking forward to that. We have a wild weekend planned: more knitting! LOL

Have a good day and for those of you with ice--be careful!

TGIF everyone!

Glad the weekend is here!  Not too much going on today, going to work, then it's movie night at our house.  Friday nights the kids and I eat dinner in the living room and watch a movie.  Daddy usually has to work overtime at work which means he leaves the house at 4pm and doesn't get home til midnight.  So it's our 'bonding' night.

Lisa-- I've seen the construction, had to drive through a few times on our way to the pediatrician.  At least in the end you'll have a new sewer system!!

Take it easy everyone and enjoy your friday!!

Morning, Lisa and Illinois,
I bet you are ready for the road construction to be done.  Probably lots of mud!  Not much happening today, ready for some sunshine.  Going to go to our high school and sign up to walk on the indoor track, I'm just not much of a walker on the treadmill at the gym.  Have fun knitting Connie, I'm jealous.

Have a great day.

Hello everyone

Yeah it's Friday.  I decided to take a break and pop over here.  I'm still completely swamped.  Today is quarter end and I'm fighting against the clock to get everything done.  But I need to take a breather, and clear my head.

I have no plans this weekend.  I am going to do groceries today and run some errands.  Then I'm done going out till Monday.  I will do some house cleaning. 

As far as swallowing vitamins.  I am working my way up to solid proteins.  But right now I know the vitamin would get stuc****il it dissolved.  I have been stuck before and it's not fun (the way things have been going I would just throw it up).  I have had things as small as my birth control pill come back up on me.  I am not taking chances on my horse pill of a vitamin.  In the mean time I have been able to eat a little more each day.  I am going to try meat tonight.  I am able to eat eggs, cottage cheese, ground beef, grilled cheese sandwiches without it coming back up on me.  So I think I will go ahead and try  my friend's nice juicy pork roast.  She is dropping by tonight to bring me some.  I also blew past my plateau and I lost 12lbs since 1-8!!! 

Everyone have a happy Friday.

I was taking the Centrum Chewable up until a year ago.  Not bad taste.  Then switched to Opti-Source which is a vitamin for bariatric patients and is chewable.. you buy at Walgreens.  Since my last blood work was not so good, my surgeon suggested I switch to Fusion.. you can order on line and is also a chewable for bariatric patients.  Not so great tasting  but highly recommended.  So, I guess I would rather be healthy and take the nasty pills.   

Good Luck finding the right one for you.

I will look for the Centrum chewable.  Thanks for the tip.
