Wednesday Roll Call
Good morning!
I slept really bad last night as everything I need to do kept me up! We booked a trip to L.A. for the weekend of June 3 so we can find housing. Then we figured out when Rob will start and hopefully when I will move there as well. Waiting on Baskin though.
Today I am off to WI to be with my sister. It's going to be a long day and she keeps insisting that she wants to go home tonight. I tried telling her it is in her best interest to stay. I will let the dr's tell her she will need to stay the night!
Hope you all have a good day!
PS. Steven-congrats on the continued weight loss!

Hello everyone
Steven, I'm glad your feeling better. I feel almost light on my feet now that I have lost all of this weight. It's a great feeling.
Yesterday, a girl I eat lunch with (her name is Vickie) fell down in the parking lot at work. For no apparent reason. She broke her arm in two places and dislocated her elbow...ow!!! She will be having surgery on Thursday on her arm. Yikes...when I was really heavy that was always a fear of mine. As heavy as I was I knew if I fell I would break something. This poor lady...she is so sweet.
Then yesterday at the gym I ran into a girl I know from work and I found out from her that this lady at work is saying the only reason I am losing weight is because I had Band surgery. Well as you all know I wasn't losing much till after I started working out. So I give credit where credit is deserved. My band helps me with portions...but I can still eat a gallon of ice cream or a bag of chips. My band helps me curb my insatiable carb habit...but I still can eat 6 cookies in one sitting...so it's not ALL my band. I also workout 9 hours a week...my band doesn't do that either. The lady that is saying this is extremely overweight (if I had to guess I would say 400-450) I would love to sit down and educate her on WLS and how it HELPS... not do it for you. I think she would benefit from the surgery. I often wonder what keeps her from getting surgery...fear??? But seeing that she is jealous and being petty I don't think she would be open to a discussion. If she ever approached me I would definitely talk to her about it. I think her comments aren't malicious but envious. I can understand that...I was her 2 years ago. So I will hold no grudges and will gladly help her out if she ever decides to ask me about WLS.
So I better get back to work now. I hope you all have a nice day. Bye

Good morning Steven and the rest of Illinois!
So glad to hear that you are feeling better, Steven. I feel SO much better after losing weight. I am always saying, "I never knew how terrible I felt until I felt better." It is really amazing!
I am working today, as usual. My sister-in-law is not here AGAIN!!!!! She started on Feb. 1st and this has got to be the 8th, 9th (or maybe even 10th) day she has been out. Apparently, she is not going to be reliable.....go figure! I could have told my boss that. NOW, it is expected that I learn all about a new product division and do her job AND mine (which is to run all other aspects of this small business)........no pay raise or any other concession. No wonder I am stressed out to the point of breaking! The worst part is that she will not be fired......ever. If she does not quit on her own, we are stuck.......long story. I DO find that exercise helps. I just put the book in my ear and take off.
We have decided to have David's Graduation Party on June 17th, a Friday evening. That is the date he has picked and I hope it works out.
Olivia was elected to Student Council for next year! Yeah for her. SHE is really taking advantage of all opportunities offered in high school. I am very proud.
Everyone have a splendid day!

Good morning Steven and IL!
Steven, glad you are feeling better. I have to second what everyone else has said, It is so much easier to move around and keep moving with the weight gone.
Crystal, you are doing so wonderfully! We all know that our surgeries "help" us they don't cure or do it for us. I'm sure you are so proud of all your activity. You are going to be one FOXY mother of the bride!!! enjoy that day and all the compliments I'm sure you will hear.
Dawn, it is always tough when family is hired on. Whether they can do the job or not.....they rarely get let go. I had that situation at a bank I worked at. The president of my bank was the son of the CEO of our larger corporate bank. Everyone knows, even though he has no personality, that he'll never lose his job! It really is too bad. What's worse is you are the one who has to deal with it!
I have to brag a little bit. I had to get my drivers license renewed before my June bday, so went yesterday after work. I wanted to get a new pic and change my weight (am I vain or what!!) The lady looked at my old lic and said do you want to change ht or wt and I told her what to put for my wt. She looked at my old pic and then she kinda looked up real fast at me, like ...whoa! LOL Anyway, when I got my new pic...I have to say, I looked at it twice myself because I actually looked pretty normal, instead of pretty heavy! Sorry, pls indulge me!!!
Going to Bloomington and staying over Friday night and taking chloe and her grandma with me. Chloe has a concert at ISU on Saturday with a bunch of kids from central IL. Her mom has to work, so her grandma and I are going to take her and attend the concert. Figured it was easier to just pick her up in Mahomet and go over to Bloomington, rather than pick her up, take her north then head south again EARLY Sat am. More restful for all involved, I'm sure!!
Have a super day. georgie

Hi.
I get the whole DL thing. I soon as I dropped below the weight on my DL I told people I am at my DL weight. They looked at me like I had 4 heads. They just did not get it. Ya know they are just not admitting to the fact that they are not at the DL weights either.
I just mentioned at work yesterday that I could not wait until I had to renew my license next year so that I can change the weight. Be as vain as you want to be-you deserve it.
Have fun at ISU this weekend.

You are so right. I dont' think anybody, at least anybody who even has a few pounds to lose shows their right weight on their DL! LOL. Have to admit, the wt I replace was NOT my correct weight. But you are also right, I think people who don't have a wt problem don't understand at all!!
We are looking forward to our time at ISU. I think the bloomington area is a great place...it is someplace I think I could live. Don't you live around there?
