Sunday Roll Call

Morning folks! Everyone please be careful with this weather that is coming in.

What is happening in your corner of IL today? I have a house that needs attention as all we did yesterday was errands and then I wore Dave out so much that he slept for hours after I brought him home. I think that I found a place to purchase a dress form. There is a place in Schaumburg that sells store furniture etc. So after Dave's PT appt on Monday I will go over there.

Have a super day.

Hello everyone

I had a very enjoyable visit with my friend yesterday.  We went to the Borders going out of business.  To me the sale was blown out proportion...it was 20% off...but I would get 40% off with my Borders card.  I really like the movie I am Number Four.  If you sci-fi you will like the movie.  The movie left so many unanswered questions.  We found out is a book...so we went to Target and I bought the book.  I started it last night and I really like the book.

Beware men...girl talk coming-
I finally got my bras I ordered from JCPenney.  OMG!!!  They are the best.  I bought Ambrielle gravity defying underwire bras...and it's like night and day.  Ever since I lost so much weight I have become very saggy and droopy.  The only bras I felt comfortable in were sports bras.  Well these bras are the best.  They are expensive but I only bought two.  They are hand-wash only so I figured I would wash one at night and wear the other one the next day.  I highly recommend this bra to anyone.  Now I wanted to ask any of you about girdles.  I have lost 130 lbs so far (yeah me!!!) and I am getting saggy every where, but especially my tummy and thighs.  I was thinking of maybe wearing a girdle.  Do any of you wear one...if so do you have a preference. 

Well I do have to finish all my housework I didn't get done yesterday.  I have laundry to do. I want to go to Meijer to buy a house plant (I had one die on me) and I want to get a workout in.  This afternoon I plan to relax with my new book.

Well I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend so far.  See ya later

    

I hear that "Spanx" is the way to go with shapewear.

I got a great tip the other day at that seminar I went to about handwashing your underthings......use shampoo.  Woolite erodes the elastic as does other soaps and detergents.  Shampoo is gentle and a (surprising to me) side benefit is that you will have the same smell all over!

Good morning!

Christine-good to hear Dave is getting around:)  Crystal-shapewear.  I love the stuff.  It sucks in all the sappy stuff and makes you look lean and trim:)  When I was thin last time, it sometimes could shave a whole size off of me! 

I did a Scentsy party last night.  It wore me out pretty good.  It was up in WI so it was a 2 hour car ride there and back and then a three hour party.  But I made good money (which we all know I need right now:). 

My husbands kids are coming over today.  They are almost 5 and 12.  Benny is the 5 year old and a riot.  I love it when they come over.  He is a little spitfire.  I always seem to have to go to Walmart when they are over and he always wants to come with me.  The first time we went he told me exactly where the toy section was and how his mom never buys him toys.  I know first hand that his mom buys him toys all the time but I couldn't do anything but laugh.  So now we always get a matchbox car when we go to Walmart.  I used to do that with my boys too.  It's a cheap reward....they are .99. 

I'm stuck at 45 pounds lost.  I guess I shouldn't complain, I have only been there for a week and since January 3, I lost the 45 pounds.  That's a lot in a short time I know.  Just impatient! 

Laundry was done yesterday along with the bathrooms so I only have to vacuum today.  And put out my Scentsy warmers back out.  I used mine for the show yesterday.

Hope you all have a great Sunday and hope you all get to relax!

 Hello Everyone!

It is a lazy day for me today.  I did my errands and shopping yesterday which I am thankful for considering the weather today. I dont want to be drenched!  

I am still moving forward as if I am having surgery.  I figure my doctor will know how to duke it out with the insurance company.  If not, we figure out plan B but I am not sure what that will be as the pain is pretty bad.  

I have chili cooking for dinner tonight.  It sounds good for a rainy day.  

Christine, I am glad Dave got out and about yesterday.  It really does get boring at home but it does take a lot out of you those first few times out.  I am glad you are finding things to display your necklaces.  They are so pretty I think they will sell themselves!

Crystal, it sounds like you had a great day yesterday with some great finds.  I love spanx shapewear.  You can get it at Target and other stores.  It is really great!  

Jules, you may be at a stall.  They do come and are VERY frustrating but hang in there.  Your body is just taking a breather from all that weight loss.  It will kick back in soon! 

Everyone have a great day!
