Thursday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I'm at work and I wi**** was Friday.  One more day!!! 

I hear we are going to up in the 80's Sunday!!!  Wow!!!  I can't wait.  I'm not really ready for warm weather yet...as far as clothes go.  And I have a dwindling supply of Winter clothes that still fit.  Clothes I bought in January and February are too big on me now.  Lucky for me and my trips to the Thrift store...because I have enough to last me through the season.  But then next Fall I will have to buy all new again!!  Wow this gets expensive on a single gal!!!  It it's lots of fun buying new skinny clothes though!!!

I had a really good workout last night.  My migraine medicine seems to be working because I am pushing myself more and more with no migraines.  Yesterday I added a couple of runs in at the end of my workout.  I slept so good last night...ahhhh.  I notice my best workouts are on Thursday and Friday.   

Nancy- good luck on your surgery.  I hope this will solve your pain and you can run around and do all things you want without pain.

I better get going.  I will see you guys tomorrow.  Bye 

Good Morning.

Nancy, I will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow. Here is hoping everything goes great and you are without pain.

Today is my Friday. No plans for the weekend except the norm. I do want to get out in the garden and work it a bit. Hopefully the weather will allow it.

I  am off to work.

Stay safe,

Hugs, LISA

Hi Everyone - Happy Thursday   This week has been a good week for me relating to my "getting back to basics" of how to eat with the band.  I am back to watching the scale daily, which is not really changing, but my "little visitor" is due tomorrow, so I know I have some water/bloating.  No movement is good on the scale for me right now. 

I visit with my surgeon on Tuesday, as well as the Nut.  I am scared, embarassed, ashamed and worried about the appointment, but on the other hand, I am excited and ready to get back and help this band and me work together.  It's been a long road for about 1 1/2 years where I have done nothing but eat what I want and not excersize.  I haven't gained much (maybe 7lbs), but I can see a COMPLETE change in my body structure.  Everything is droopy.  So, back to the gym as well, training again for the 60 mile walk for BC...I do this every year for my mom (stage 4). 

Positive attitude today and realizing I have the control - not the food.  Everyone have a great day. 

Katie. 

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

I am working, then to LIv's Opening Night!  She is very excited.  Then tomorrow, David's.  I have seen bits and pieces of David's show, but none of LIv's.

I will be thinking of fund raising ideas for Liv's trip after the shows are done.  She could babysit for $$ also.

Glad to see Katie!  I am in the same situation of getting "back to basics".  WELCOME, WELCOME!!!!

Gotta get back to work!

Break a leg to Liv tonight!

Good morning,

Busy day for me today.  Working from home but getting a lot done! 

Crystal, I'm glad to hear your meds are working.  I need to look into some.  I'm getting a migraine twice a week now. 

Lisa, you are lucky today is your Friday.  I'm jealous:)  Already wanting the weekend when I have only been back 4 days!

Katie, you are on the right track.  Come visit this roll call everyday.  These women have inspired me and keep me on my toes.  It is a great support system!!!!!

Nancy, we will be thinking of you tomorrow.  Good luck!  I know we haven't met face to face, but if you need anything-I'm there!

I will be doing the same thing Lisa is this weekend-playing in my garden on Sunday if we don't get any rain.  I have to go to WI for my great nephews 3rd bday party.  I'm taking all the kids since it is a pool party.  Hopefully they swim a ton so they get worn out on the drive home and won't fight!

Ok, back to work!  Have a great day everyone!

Take care,

Jules

 Good Afternoon Everyone!

I slept in this morning and it felt wonderful!  I have been dragging with this cold but I am seeing the backside of it so I am not worried.  

I am about to head out to the laundrymat.  I am not up to running up and down my stairs for the rest of the day as I am doing some extra loads today.  Plus it will all get done faster.  Then a quick trip to Wally world to pick up a few more items and I am set.  

I am much more relaxed than I was last time and more ready for this surgery.  Thank you all for the well wishes.  They make me feel loved and cared for.  

I hope all of you can get outside and play this weekend.  That weather sounds nice.  It figures that I will be stuck inside.  Oh well, there will be plenty more to come and I wont have to go back to wor****il Mid June or July.  Yeah!  

Have a great day and weekend.  I will post when I can. 

Nancy 

I am wishing you an uneventful and sucessful surgery.  You will be in my thoughts.  May you be home and recovering very soon.

Home from the work, dentist, home after wards and support group. Crystal, you would have loved the subject matter - target heart rates and how to achieve it, keep it up and continue the calorie burn for several hours after wards.

I am feeling more like myself. I got a call from the doctor himself before we left for support group telling me that yes, it is a UTI, continue with the meds for a minimum of 7 days but it is better to go 10 days, see him on Monday and other things will be discussed. I already knew all of that. Yuck - the side affects for me with an antibiotic are horrible and yes I have been eating yogurt to counteract the affects in the intestinal tract. I have other issues of headache and nausea from the meds in addition to the runs. Sorry for the TMI.
