Tuesday Roll Call
Little chilly willy out there but it should not be too bad to walk the 1/2 mile to work. The only thing I hate about it is that it is in total darkness.
I switched my hours for this Tuesday as the other girl is not there so I can get home all this week at 3pm. Unfortunately the tattle tale says she might come in today, oh joy just what I need!
What is happening in your world today?

It's chilly out there but because there isn't any wind it feels fine. To me it's the wind that makes the cold unbearable.
Well, I went to the doctor yesterday for my monthly check up and told him how I still have the sinus and ear problem. He looked at my ears and he said there was fluid in my ears and they looked irritated. He then looked at my throat and said I had quite a bit of drainage still going on back there....I said "no kidding". Long story short he put me back on antibiotics. I'm also on steroids and Allegra. So lets hope this will kill the infection for good. There has been times where I had to go on them a 3rd and 4th time. This kind of thing happens to me every time I'm sick. It's kind of upsetting because I am wondering are antibiotics not working for me anymore. I never abused them and always finished them.
Today I am working and working out...that's it.
Christine- As you know I have a tattletale at work too. Hopefully she won't bother you today.
Got to get going. Have a great day.
Going into work at 10:00 a.m. this morning and work til 7. That is the hours for Tuesdays and Thursdays. M, W, F it is 8:30 to 5.
I need to get motivated to start excersing. The weight loss is slowing down but my body is still changing. I put on a pair of pants that I got 2 weeks ago and they are now starting to get to big on me. Scott says after the 1st he is going on a diet and starting to excersie and that we will excersie together. I keep asking him why wait-we can start today. Maybe I will.
Not much more going on. Starting to think about taking down the Christmas decorations. Hopefully this weekend the yard decorations will come down once the ground unfreezes a bit.
Vickie, you have been doing great with your pre op doctor supervised diet time.
I am working today and trying to figure out which day to take off thie rest of the week. As usual, my family is no help. We will have the grandkids the next two days and are thinking of doing "something" with them, but my procrastinating husband can not make a decision.......UGGGGHHH!
I THINK my medicine has been working, but by the time I left here last night, I could barely keep awake for the drive, then slept for a good hour after I got home. It was wierd, because I was breathing really heavy so I am guessing the lungs are not yet cleared out. I really haven't coughed much, so I am not sure what is going on. I will be keeping an eye on it.
Thinking of New Year's plans and thinking that fondue sounds really good. I am not sure how I am going to be able to have the "second Annual Good Riddance Fire" if it rains.
Everyone have a great day!
Tell someone that you love them!

I've been MIA, with the holidays, my child home on a visit, and lots of work for the union. I'm off work for the week, so am getting a bit of personal computer time. Nice to be back.
I did see my bariatric doc's nutritionist last week. She didn't have a "1st year out, regular diet" food plan thing that suits me (5'9") to a T. So, I'm just going to have to create it by myself (with OH help, likely) within the parameters of my food goals (1,200 calories, 90-100g protein, 35g fiber, etc.). Maybe I'll somehow "publish" the food plan I come up with so others in my same situation could use it too.
The big news on my WLS/RNY journey:
1) My first stall. ... I'm at 238 now and have been for about two weeks. Must stop "experimenting" with cookies and chocolate. I can definitely report that I don't dump on the sugar I permit myself. So, I don't have "dumping" as an incentive. So, I'll have to use willpower instead. As I build a meal plan (mentioned above) tailored to my nutritional goals, I think I'll move beyond the stall.
2) Plan to start exercising every day. Joining the health club next to work on Monday. On weekends, I'll exercise at home. Packing gym bag and setting up exercises now.
3) Constipation from hell. "Regular" for the past few days, and hoping I'll never experience constipation again. From. Hell.
4) Still a tad worried b/c my bariatric doc doesn't have me on iron (hysterectomy) or B-Complex. I see these always recommended, but he says I don't need them.
5) Med change: Stopped Crestor due to improved blood test results.
Take care!
