Tuesday Roll Call
Fast fly -by for me too this morning. Wanting to get to work a bit early to get a parking space close to where I need to be. Last week on Tuesday, I had to park more then a block away. Another thasnk you for my Lap Band. Before I had it, I would of had to come home and lose the day, since there would of been no way I could of walked it.
I was unable to get to support group last night. Didn't get home until 5:30. and with the group 60 miles from me, and starting at 7, well was not going to happen.
Crystal, don't push yourself. You may do more damage then good.
Hugs,

Well I made it through Monday!


It is supposed to be nice the next few days and I am loving it. I even opened a window before I went to sleep last night. I had gotten too hot the night before and it was nice with the window open. It will be a long winter. Enjoy being outside if you can escape to the wild!
Everyone have a great day!

Hello everyone
I'm glad to say I seem to be feeling better today. I went and worked out yesterday. I just didn't workout with the same intensity and I didn't do any weight lifting with my legs. I kind of thought I probably aggravated the situation even more but this morning I woke up and it's doing better. Not as painful or as big. Who would have thought that working out would make things better??? Maybe I will try that the next time I get sick too..hahaha.
Yesterday I was so irritated by my boss...I still am. She threw a project at me that I have no prior training on at all. I have no experience with at all. It's outside of my department and not one of my regular duties. So I emailed her and said this. I basically said that I don't mind doing extra work but I need the knowledge and understanding to undertake the project. She emailed me back with a snippy "oh it's not a big deal you can do it" kind of answer. I'm so annoyed with her right now. What's so weird is that there are people with experience doing this available to do this project but she is insisting on having me do it...why???
Oh well I'm not going to let ruin my day. It will be beautiful out today. Make sure you go for a walk. See later, bye.
First I want to say this is my one year surgery anniversary. What a GREAT year. This really was a wonderful decision. I'm doing well, down 75 lbs in a year, and confident I will get to the weight I want to be. This year has seen such an improvement in being able to walk without pain, walk regular distances, ride my bike with Chloe, go into much smaller, actually misses REGULAR clothes sizes, decreases in medications and excellent blood tests results and have to admit, love all the compliments I get from people about how good I look.
I attribute part of my success to all of my friends on the Illinois board. It is inspiring to read what you have done, and nice to know advice and encouragement is only a few key strokes away. How nice it is to have such great new friends....that you've never met! THANKS to all of you.
Have a super day.

It's been a busy few days for me. Meredith had her 4th birthday on Sunday and we had parties on Saturday (for kids) and Sunday (for family). I feel like I now live in the land of Barbie's!!! But she had fun and loves all her new toys. I've been plugging along with all the weight loss classes and am looking forward to January when I am scheduled for classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so far. I'll have 2 classes per day if they all fly. In addition, I have an interview and audition for a job with a large massage chain tomorrow! If all goes well, I may just get to say goodbye to poverty in the near future!
I hope everyone's feeling good and having success out there!
