Hello everyone

I was up extra early today and couldn't get back to sleep.  So instead of waiting till I get to work to start the roll call I decided to do it now.  I don't have to be at work till 6am.

I am happy to report that I lost another 3 lbs!!!!  So I have lost a total of 22 lbs since I started working out 6 weeks ago!!!  I am losing more now than I did when I first got my surgery over 20 months ago!!!  Just goes to show you the power of exercise.  I am up to 50 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes on strength training, and 20 minutes of stretching.  I do that 6 days a week!!!  It's hard to drag myself everyday but it's worth it.  I also go for a walk at lunch time for 30 minutes 5 days a week. 

The movie yesterday was great.  If you like Diane Keaton you need to go see Morning Glory.  I had a small popcorn...but it upset my stomach.  I came home and was in the bathroom for long time.  Today my company's Thanksgiving luncheon.  I will be eating some turkey...YUM.  After work and working out I am going to JC Penney's to pick up my new gym shoes.  I also have to go to the grocery store.  Tomorrow I have to work (I hate working on Saturdays!!!) and do laundry and maybe start some Christmas decorating. 

What's going on with your Friday???

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning Illinois!

Congrats Crystal! I wish I was losing the way you are now...I've plataued big time.....but I'm still trying....right now it seems like a lot of hard work....

Today I'm driving to my daughters and making a clothing donation to a place called the Clothes Closet. It is run by a local chuch and all donations are given away. No one is charged for anything. No one makes money off of your donations.

Hope you all have a great day!

I do not have a recipe for my briskets though I am developing them.  Briskets are very nonconforming so each one takes it's own variation of spices and temperature changes.  I sliced this one early so it was like prime rib and I tossed a third of it back in the oven that we are munching on this weekend along with the gumbo and soup.  Sometime this week I need to pick up some wood or charcoal and grill the rest to fini**** right.  My briskets are fantastic though and addicting.  I am developing a business plan based on selling them but will have to demand some consistancy when I actually get into it because what I have learned at the hands of the champions is an art and most people just want their walls painted.

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

You are inspiring Crystal!  I am hoping to get in a lot of walking in Madison.  I have a little dillema and not sure how it will work out.  I have invited a girlfriend, but now she says she wants to go, but can't leave until 6 (or so) tonight and might have to be back early tomorrow.  I am not seeing the point.  I have left a message and will try again, but I was hoping to be up there by 2:30-3:00 today and not coming home until later tomorrow (if at all.....).  We will see.....

That's about it for me, but i AM wanting Randy to post his brisket recipe.  That is one thing I have always wanted to try, but am not really sure how to do it right.
PLEASE RANDY???????

Everyone have an awesome day!

Good Morning.

 I have been a busy beaver this morning. I scrubed the kitchen floor, cleaned a carpet, cleaned another one last evening, as well as cleaned a couple of other rooms. Now heading out on Friday errands.

The sun looks warm, but I know its not. Just being sunny helps everything .

Tomorrow, Monica V and I are going on a road trip, to a town about 10 miles south of Lincoln. We will have fun and hoping to finish my holiday shopping.

Have a safe day, Dawn have a great time in Madison. Crystal, you are doing great. Carol and Linda, have a good weekend.Christine, have a good week. Marolyn, you will get back on track.


Hugs, Lisa
