Tuesday Roll Call
Good Morning on another hohum day.
Would I do it again? YES!!!! I ♥ my Lapband. My only regret is I wish I had done it earlier.I had been told, that if I didn't take weight off, I would be unable to have much needed heart surgery. Well, it ended up, heart surgery was first, then Lapband.The heart surgeon said I would of died on the table if I had had Lapband first. I was that bad.
Nancy. ten years ago I was going through the same thing with my teeth. One of the best decisions I ever made, was to replave the bad teeth with full dentures. Now, the only thing I have to worry about is an occaisional seed or something getting under them.
Dawn, I hope today goes better for you.
Aher, I admire your dedication to exercise, but too much can do more harm then good.
Yesterday, I was able to pick up 2 more pair of knee lenght shorts. The shorter ones are find for around the house, but I want something longer to wear out.
Today, just be a Merry Maid
Have a great, safe day.
Huggers,

Hello everyone
I had a great birthday celebration with friends. I even got a pack of Old Maid playing cards....hahaha. I ate way tooooo much...but hey my birthday only comes once a year. I had a big piece of pie and several cookies...it was yummy. I think it tastes better if you don't eat all of the time like I used to. I appreciate it more when it's truly a treat and not something I do every day (and I did eat it every day). I had a hot dog (no bun) and chips for lunch. I truly had wayyyyy too much fattening stuff. I worked out last night and will have to for the rest of my life to make up for all of those calories...hahaha!!!!
I had some people wonder out loud to me why I'm so happy to be turning 40. I know some people mourn their birthdays like it's the end of their life. I have never been one to worry about age but now I really don't worry about it. For me life is only getting better and I'm living it again after years of sitting on the side lines watching everyone else live their's. So when I was asked I said I am in better shape at 40 than I was at 20. I look better than I have in 20 years and can run and play and have fun again. When you have lost 150 lbs what's not to love about turning 40!!! Plus why not love birthdays...you get presents and yummies and decorations....birthdays are the best!!! Which by the way I got lots of gift cards...you know that means...SHOPPING SPREE!!!!
Plus haven't you heard 40 is the new 20...hehehe!!!! Which means 50 is the new 30...to all of you 50 year olds out there!!!
Steven- As you can read above I would most definitely have my surgery again. But most importantly I would say exercise has changed my life more than my surgery has. There was a time I regretted my surgery but after I started to exercise all of that has changed. I no longer depend on my band to lose my weight. I depend on me to lose the weight. It's one of the best decisions in my life.
Well I woke up this morning to a pink sky (pink sky in the morn sailors be warn) as the saying goes.
Have a great day...See you all later.

Good morning Steven and the rest of Illinois!
YES, YES and YES! I would do it again, even though I never got to goal, I am healthier and in better shape than I have been in 25 years too! It is not easy, but I am very glad that I did it!
Well, I got 4 semi-new tires mounted, balanced, etc for $ 120.00!!!!! Not a bad deal, especially since my car now has 239,000 miles on it.
David (my son) liked the car he looked at. Nothing fancy, a 1999 Malibu, but only $ 650.00 and it is in really good shape. We are going to call the insurance to see how that would be for him. It would be nice to have an extra car around, just for those emergency days.
I am working and hopeing to get all the stuff done today that did not get done yesterday due to the tire emergency. A girl can always hope, I figure!
I am trying to get ready for David's party, but everyone in the house seems to think that everything will do itself. So.......I will do what I can and the heck with the rest! I AM looking forward to it. Many are coming that we have not seen in a while.
Gotta get back to the job.........
Everyone have a wonderful day!

Absolutely YES .. I do not regret getting the RNY. Its is one of the best decisions of my life.
I am hear every bodys concern about my crazy excercise routine. I think I will take it down a notch. Too much of a good thing CAN be bad for you. I will limit myself to burning what I believe is a reasonable 1000 calories a day 5 times a week. Then after a a 2-3 weeks I will increase it by 250 calories and so on. Slow and steady. Thanks a lot all of you for setting my head straight on this matter :)
Today is body building day. As of right now I am very tired. Lets see how the day pans out otherwise I will skip the gym today and use it as one of my off days.
Crystal.. looks like u had a blast on your birthday... that exactly how its supposed to be !!!
We have a company picnic at Brookfield Zoo on 6/30. Whats on the menu ? Couscous, Field Greens and chicken. Something tells me that the animals at the zoo eat better than this. Our company has this "Live Well" theme going on .. and I think its gotten a bit too far. I do however look forward to the animals. I just love the zoo ..even at this age !!!!
They passed out cookies and milk as employee appreciation yesterday. Boy did I want to bite into those cookies :
Alright.. thats all I got for now
