Wednesday's Roll Call

Good Morning.

I thought I posted earlier this morning, but I must of Xed it off instead.

I nor my husband felt the earthquake this morning. And he was up getting ready to leave at that time.

The roads were great coming to work this morning, Hopefully they will stay that way.

I will be calling the Dr this morning for the results of Xrays done yesterday. Will let you all know if they find anything wrong with my back or hip.

Have clients coming in.

 

stay arm and safe

Huggers,

LISA

This week should be interesting in the weight loss world as I will only be taking half of my furesimide, eating hospital cafeteria food and be totally off my sleep schedule.  330 is a sticking area for me as well as it was an area where I bounced back to and stayed for nine months before going back up again when I was doing low carb on my own without the benefit of the surgery.  I had gotten down to 326 a week ago and that is what my ticker reads.  The stress leading up to Sherry's surgery was almost as rough for me as my own.  I bounced back up to 334 while being extra vigilant but am at 329 this morning.  I had breakfast here and will likely only have lunch at the hospital then stir up something here for supper.  Likely fish sticks and green beans.  Hoping there is something worthwhile in the hospitals steam table today but they do have some wraps that looked like they would be good for me.

Good morning Shawn Marie and the rest of Illinois!

 

I stayed home sick yesterday and slept about 4-5 extra hours.   This was AFTER coming home on Monday and going to sleep at 4.  I have been having stomach upset after eating too, so I just decided to rest instead of fighting it.  I feel a bit better today and came in, but I could use another nap.

 

Lisa, I hope your back is an easy fix, Juanita, same with you.  Shoveling IS good exercise, but can be a strain if you are not used to it, and who is?

 

I am working today, then home to make a Lo Mein dish for dinner.  I will abstain from the noodles, especially if I can not find Dreamfields at the store.

 

Liv is looking forward to the Jr. High Ski Trip tomorrow, and I have theater group.  I would rather nap.

 

I did not feel any earthquake, and just heard about it when I got to work.

 

Everyone have a lovely day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone!

I don't think I knew why I woke up but I'm guessing it was the earthquake, but I went right back to bed. 

Today I just have work and then I HAVE to make the good bags.. Tomorrow are all of the class parties so I have to get it done!

Stay safe everyone!

HI Everyone!

It's me, your long lost friend.  I have been MIA on here and all my other boards except for a little Facebook.

I am working FULL TIME now, yes you read it right, full time.  I am a clinical nurse supervisor for a home health company.  I started out part time a couple hours a day about 2 days a week.  Now POOF!  I am a clinical supervisor working full time.  The money is great, but I am hardly home much and when I am, I dont have much computer time.  Plus I am on the computer alot during the day, and dont feel like it at night.

I am stuck on wt loss, trying to eat the right things.  I found out that I can now drink diet coke, ( I know , BAD  BAD  BAD) and I am addicted again.  I try to only have one a day, but somedays I have more.  I try to get the water in too.

My labs are all out of whack, calcium very low, vit D low, ferrtiin low, iron low I could go on and on.  Most of that is because for a  long time we could not afford to buy the vitamins, hence me going back to work.  Now we can, and I cant even find the time to order them.

Any suggestions on what kind everyone uses.  I used to get Optisource but I am not sure if that is the best choice out there.  ANy Suggestions?  I need some good ones for sure, I am mess.

I need to start taking care of me again.  I take care of everyone else all the time, and then I turn into a mess. 

My dad had his last chemo for his pancreatic cancer and is waiting for next week to get a CT scan and blood work and then the next week to see the dr.  We will see how the chemo is working and IF the chemo is working. then and what if any thing they are going to do next. 

Noah spent a month and a couple of weeks in the hospital over Christmas again, so we had to deal with that too.

SO much going on.

FOrgive me for being AWOL, I have thought about all of you often, and miss you all.

I will try to get back here now on a reg basis.

What a wild day. Glad the earthquake did no damage. They are too scary! Can't believe we didn't have a snow day at work. I don't mind the snow, but I had a proceedure on my toe Monday and am hobbling around. It's hard in the snow. I was doing good with food all day, but then I got home after work and hubby han't made a dinner, as we had planned (child was still at a school event). We decided to do Chipolte, and I requested a healthy choice. Yea me. But then hubby decided the line was too long and came back to the car, looking for somewhere else. That was it. I had reached the end of my own ability to hold it together today. Hulk emerged. Total freakout. "I'm starving. I'm starving." (Maybe certifiable, too?) I gave up all my good intentions. Then, I ate a cheeseburger with the works and a big fries from the gyros stand. Plus three of the cake doughnuts hubby had brought into house from his outing today to a special bakery. Blood glucose # was through the roof, while for the past month, I had it hovering around the healthy range (am about to get a diabetes med increase this week). Sigh. Bang head. Sigh. Wince. Time for bed. Maybe tomorrow will be better. (Please don't flame me about needing to be the steward of my own choices. Yes, I know that. I have demons I am trying to tame. I'm early in this game. I failed today. Tomorrow, I can try again. That being said, I learn so much from everybody here. I'm just admitting what's going on with me, to keep myself honest on this journey.)
