Tuesday Roll Call

Well it's morning, but it is not  Good!! Woke up with a sore throat. Children are acting like punks.   Ready to just crawl back under the blankets and try this all over again!

But the bright spot is I'm only hours away from my first preop class with Dr. Nagle's office.  Can't wait to see what we will learn today.  I love taking classes.  Any class really.  I just love to learn new things.  I'm actually a bit jealous of my hubby, he is taking classes part time and we can only afford one of us to go and since he can work, it's more important for him to go.  But he gets to learn 'stuff'! I'm jealous

Doesn't look like too much white stuff fell here, hoping the same is true downtown.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning Carol and Illinois

Carol, good luck at your class today.  You'll learn a lot, I'm sure!

Here, 50 miles south of Chicago, we only go a dusting of snow.  Yeah.

I think I've decided to replace the countertops in my kitchen, so have been looking around, getting bids, etc.  Hope to have it done by end of March or sooner.  We'll see how that goes!

Don't have a lot else on the agenda today/this week.

Have a super day!

On a personal front, when I got on the scale this AM I am down 50 lbs from my highest weight last July.  I'm really excited.  Had to get some new pants this weekend and a couple of shirts.  Lovin' it!  georgie

Yeah 50lbs!!!  Excellent job!!!

Thanks, I'm pretty excited and people have really been noticing!  Have my 3 mo appt next Wed.  Went to my PC Dr. a couple of weeks ago, and along with Dr. Joyce's bloodwork, he order my cholesterol.  I have been on Lipitor for a long time and it is EXPENSIVE.  I told him I had stopped taking it on my own.  And he said, that's good. Let's check your levels and see if you can go off it.  Had work done Sat.  His office called yesterday and said "all your levels are within the normal range!"  Yippee no more Lipitor.  I'm a happy camper.  geo

Hello everyone

Well it I was able to repair my old tire and it only cost me $23.  I'm happy about that. 

I think we got about an inch of snow.  It wasn't bad driving this morning. 

Tomorrow will be one year that my mom died.  I can't believe it's been a year, it seems like yesterday. 

I'm really tired today, I didn't sleep well.  So today I am going straight home after work and relaxing. 

Have a great day.

 

You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow... 

Good morning Carol and the rest of Illinois!

 

We got about 2-3 inches in both Rock City and southern Rockford, where I work.  The roads were crappy and mostly unplowed.  The bright side is that there is NO WAY that a ground hog could see a shadow today, so…….I think EARLY SPRING is predicted!

 

I think I need to stop and take back the shoes that I bought to go with the dress.  Some of the little sparkly tiles came off.  I only wore them for a couple of hours.  I am afraid if I were to wear them more, more tiles will come off and I will be left with gray sticky straps---yuck.  That stinks too because they would have been perfect.  I think I also need to stop to vote, but not sure what there is to vote for out in my area.

 

I just had a yummy breakfast…….I mixed a scoop of chocolate/peanut butter protein into about a half cup of Greek yogurt.  I added about a ½ tsp. of cocoa and ½ tsp of Splenda.  This would be great for those of you on soft stage (or anyone really).

 

Carol---I hope your day gets better and better.

 

Georgie---50 lbs is wonderful!!!!  First milestone reached!  Good for you!

 

Crystal—glad to hear that the tire was not too much.  I am sorry about the pain of loss you are going through also.

 

Everyone have a splendid day and drive carefully!

Good morning everybody. I hope you are all doing well, it seems like the ones who have posted so far are doing pretty good :)

I have a very crazy and hectic week coming. Very stressful but I am working on dealing with that stress with out eating. This is my first real test post-op to avoid stress eating.

I joined LA Fitness last week. I was doing curves but I got bored with the same work out every day. I am really enjoying LA Fitness so far.. and they have daycare at the gym so YAY! no excuse not to go. Right now I am doing 2 days at the gym 1 day off and that is working out well for me.

I've been eating more since I started going to the gym. That is kind of scary. I am noticing that I can fit more of certain foods in my pouch and that is kind of scary too. I am still listening to my body though and I stop when I am not hungry anymore.

I have meetings from 9:30-2pm today with a half hour break for lunch. YIKES!

I hope you all have a great day :)

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I checked in but everything is going as planned. As of this morning I am down a total of 99lbs (61 since surgery) and fighting the good fight. I have had a few up and down days but more good then bad. I hope everyone has a good one and will talk to you guys later.

Omar, I was wondering how you were doing!  Nice to see you.  You're doing GREAT.  Congrats.  georgie
