Friday Roll Call

Hello everyone

It's Friday!!!  Woohoo!!!

I am stalled on the weight loss for two weeks now.  The first two week stall I have had since I started to work out back in October.  In my desperation to kick start the weight loss I over did it in the gym yesterday and made myself sick and almost gave myself a migraine.  I really thought I was going to get a migraine but it stopped.  I see now where I made my mistake.  I was interval training (where you walk for a one minute and then you jog for a couple of minutes).  I did this continuously for 40 minutes and I think I should have stopped at 25 minutes.  Oh well live and learn. 

Today after work I am going to JcPenneys for some Spring clothes...I have some great coupons.  Then I am going to go do groceries at Meijer and Walmart.  Tomorrow I am going to Kohls (to check out their Spring clothes) and to Barnes and Noble and of course Walgreens.

I hope everyone had a great St Patty's Day...I must not have gotten it out of my system because I am wearing green again.     

Have a great Friday...Bye

Good Morning.

The sun is out, life is good. I woke up late today, at least late for me, and I have been on FB. Bad, bad Lisa. Now I need to get busy and get some work done.

No plans for today, just normal Friday things. I want to stop at Kohls tomorrow, as well as look for a pair of shoes to go with a red dress I bought for  a wedding in May.

Crystal. You need to change your workout routine. Don't do everything in the same order each time. Then add something new every once in a while. A fitness "expert" told me that a long time ago. Our bodies get lazy when you do the same thing each day.

Janet  K's husband is home from the hospital. Good luck Eddie and Janet..

Have a great day,
Stay safe,

Hugs,
LISA

Lisa- yes I am changing things in my workout.  I was trying to turn my whole work out to jogging.  But obviously that isn't going to happen right now.  I have gone up in my intensity.  I am going to start incorporating the elliptical into my workout.  But as far as a different order that's a hard one.  The gym I go to is at work (and it's free) it's very small.  I get there early and you have to grab a treadmill ASAP or you won't get one.  So I have to do the treadmill first. But I am adding in different exercsies and working out harder.  So hopefully this will work...otherwise I will have to add more...maybe another 30 minutes

Good morning,

Doctor yesterday went well.  He didn't have to cut the wound open more at this point.  He said maybe in a month, but so far it looks really good.  It was nice not to have the vac on yesterday.  I also can go back to work April 4th.......but only working from home.  I'm getting bored and with Rob and I home right now, it will be good to be busy during the day!

I have a big Scentsy order coming in today.  So I will be organizing that and putting my stickers on everything.  I also need to do some laundry and wait for the nurse to come.  

My little kitty Charlie has an eye infection and a cold.  Giving him medicine and eye drops has been fun.....NOT!  But he is looking better already!  And Jack knew he wasn't feeling good and was taking care of Charlie.  Very cute.

I want to go buy some new clothes too......but know that it would be silly to do so when I still will lose.  I think Goodwill might be a good place for me to start.  Just pick up a couple of things.

Well, have a good day everyone.  Good luck to Janet and Eddie!

Take care,

Jules

Jules-  A friend of mine has two cats and he mentioned that when his one cat gets sick the other cat won't go near him.  That's how he knows something isn't right.  I thinks that's weird...they can sense sickness.

Also, Goodwill is a great place to go.  In fact I am wear a pair of really cute khakis I bought for $2.99.  My Goodwill is very nice...they have everything organized by size and color.  So when I was looking for a pair black slacks I went to the black pants section.  It's very nice.  If  you sign up for their emails they send you coupons all of the time.

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I am working, working, working.  I have to cover for my boss and now my SIL who is off again.  This will be the 4th day off since she started Feb. 1st.  3rd for sickness and one to get her taxes done. 

Funny, I thought you did not get ANY time off in your 90 day probation period.  I guess it helps to be truly related, not just married into the family.  Not that I am missing her presence......she is not catching on very well and even when she is here I do most of her job.  She is more interested in being social and acting like a boss than actually doing the job in front of her.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the end.  SO.......I am glad it is Friday and I am looking forward to the time off and can actually say I am looking forward to the boss' return.

That's about it from my workld besides running like crazy with the kids.

Everyone have a wonderful day and enjoy the full moon tomorrow.  Supposed to only look that big every 18 years!

 

Tell someone that you love them!

Dawn-  I am starting to think that maybe you and Nancy have worse jobs than I do.  Other than my boss acting like a crazy control freak and a couple busy body, brown nosers...I love the people I work with.  The people that work for me are mostly all friends and we work together well...there is no fighting, telling on each other, complaining...so on.  We joke around and try to have some fun while we work...which I encourage because happy workers are better workers.  I just hate my job because it's boring...very boring.  Not that I don't have enough to do...our company buys other companies all of the time but never expands the staff to accomadate the new work.  I just find accounting boring.  But unlike poor Dawn I don't have to deal with family members that have no work ethic and poor Nancy who has to deal with crazy customers crabbing about things that aren't Nancy's fault...Yes guys give me my quiet office and my spreadsheets.

 Good Afternoon Everyone!

I went to work today and lasted only until noon.  I had an awful headache and the lights and noise was getting to me.  So I decided that maybe I should be checked out.  I took myself to the emergency room and had my head examined!    

The only thing the found that was abnormal is I have some metal in my head -- maybe staples that I have no idea how it got there.    I honestly dont remember any head injuries and/or being stiched up/or stapled.  

So my version is I was abducted by a UFO and they inserted implants into me.    Works for me.  It's as good of an explanation as anything.  

They sent me home and said to take it easy so that is what I plan to do.  

Jules, I always hate it when one of my kitties get sick.  Getting medicine in them or on them is horrible.  It is always a battle.  I hope Charlie gets better soon. 

Lucy, I am so glad you had fun at the casino.  Lisa, look at facebook as part of your "me" time.  Dawn, I hope you get a break soon.  

Everyone have a great evening!
