Monday Roll Call
Hello everyone
Ugh...Mondays are just the worst.
I left this morning without my Spikys on because I firgured everything was melting and there would be no ice (it's 37 degrees by me). Well I was wrong....I got to the parking lot and slipped on a patch of ice and almost went down.
I went jogging yesterday. I don't think I have ever went jogging...except in gym class when I was a kid. I didn't go very fast and it was for only 17 minutes but it was a jog!!! I want to start that Couch to 5k program. We will see how that goes.
I found an old classmate on Facebook last night. I haven't seen or talked to her in 25 years. See that's what I love about Facebook.
Well better get going. I am hoping the day goes by quickly. Have a nice day.

Good morning Crystal and IL friends.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
It's going to be a nice weather week. The snow is melting and that makes me very happy. After today, I will decorate my office for St. Patrick's Day, my favorite holiday!!
Not much going on with me, working and exercising. No planned time off or vacations.
My sister is having surgery on the 23rd this month at Alexian Brothers with Dr. Guske. She has a hernia and is going to have the tumor removed from her stomach. It's going to be a tricky operation so I will take the day off and be with her.
Good going Crystal with the jogging. I'm sure that you will make it to a 5 K. I can't do that because of my knees. But, I can walk it and have done it in the past.
Chris - I just checked out your necklaces and they are beautiful. I love the all blue one - my favorite!
Take care and have a wonderful Valentine's Day - no matter what your plans or day looks like!
Hugs and Love,
Lucy

Revision on 04/19/13
Good Morning Everyone and Happy Valentines Day.
Crystal, good going. You will make a 5k.
Lucy, I hope your sister gets her repair done, and does great.
I love FB for that too. A group of us from jr. high and highschool ave reconnected, and there are dinners and such planned. I can't attend due to distance, but it is nice.
I am working today, but it is a short week for me. I took Thursday off, Hubert has a dr. appointment, then we are heading for a ST. Louis weekend.
It sounds like our President wants to cut my work program in 1/2.
That will be a bummer for me, as well as my clients. At my agency, we are doing 30% more people then before. So any cuts will really affect us.
Have a great day, stay safe.
Huggers,
LISA

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!
I am at work as usual. Feeling like I am fighting an uphill battle in the financial dept. bummer.
I am seriously thinking of trying to find a part-time job to supplement. I know I have TONS of available time!
Jogging is great and for 17 minutes!!!!! WOW. I had started to try the couch to 5k program, but I had a hard time running the 2 minutes. Maybe I will start again in the Spring.
I went to the produce store yesterday and stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies. Yum! Yum! I am looking forward to fresh produce. I think I will go make something right now!
Everyone have a splendid day!

Happy valentines day everyone. Although I believe it's a hallmark holiday!
I have to visit the tax man today at noon and another appt with Dr Kane at 2pm. I'm hoping he says the wound looks much better and doesn't have to do another surgery tomorrow:)
I have lost 45lbs now in a month or so. Very exciting. My pants are too big on me but I have no choice but to wear them. I'm surprised that I can wear them at all. I heard for every 20lbs you lose, you lose a size but I don't think so. At least that hasn't happened to me!
Here is the recipe for Havarti Scramble with Salmon:
Serving size: 3/4 c (makes 4 servings)
6 large eggs
1/4 c skim milk
2 ounces havarti cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1t minced chives
1t butter
1/2 c canned salmon, no skin or bones
1. crack eggs into a small bowl, add milk, and whisk together for 1 min.
2. cut havarti into small pieces and add to the egg mixture long with salt and pepper and chives
3. melt butter in a 10 inch pan over med heat. Place egg mixture in pan and cook for 2 min stirring often. Add the salmon and cook for an additional 2 min or until well cooked and fluffy.
Per serving: 220 calories, Fat 13g, sat fat 6g, cholesterol 305 mg, sodium 310 mg, carbs 3g, fiber 0g, protein 20g, sugar 3g.
Have a good day everyone!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!! Here I am at work for the 1st day since my surgery. Not too bad but I am sure I will be missing that nap later on today. Well, since my journey has begun in Sept. 2010 until now I have lost a total of 70 lbs so far. Amazing how much less my body hurts now. My knees still hurt but less than they did before. I love my sleeve. 
Happy Valentine's Day to all!!
Lori

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!
