Saturday Roll Call
Hello everyone
I am sitting here relaxing. I already cleaned up a little. I went outside and picked up the yard and filled my bird feeder. I am waiting to go to the Farmer's Market. Then I will go run some errands and then I will be really lazy.
Yesterday I stayed at work late for month end but hey that's nothing compared to the 10-15 hours of overtime I used to work at my old job. So working 2 hours overtime is nothing.
I am excited to report that I finally bought a Kindle. I have wanted one of those since they first came out. back then they cost $300!!! Now they are $79!!!! So I decided that is cheap enough and I bought one. It's a very stripped down model but I only want to read on this device. I have a laptop to do everything else and if I'm not home I have my iPhone to go online.
Amanda's birthday is fast approaching. I can't wait I get to spend time with her on her birthday!!!!
Now my next question is...should I buy a Fitbit??? Hmmmm....
Well I better get going. I will see you guys later. Have a great Saturday!!!

Good Morning,
I have already cleaned up a couple of rooms, and put a pot of beef barley soup on. It sounded good to me on this great fall day. Then, I also have a few errands to run, andfood to buy, then to come home and relax.
My work computer is still acting up. Of course, my boss saids it is me, so I brought it home the other night, and tryed to get on my wireless, and still couldn't. Basicly, it does connect to it, but I can't get on a program. It tells me dionostic problems.
Yesterday, I had a couple of special sites to go too. Guess what, the lady in charge of those sites, forgot to tell the residents!. So, almost a whole day wasted! I did do a few apps, but nothing like usual.
Nancy, have a good work free weekend.
Crystal, enjoy your relaxing day.
Don, keep the zen going.
Dawn will be home shortly, can't wait for her to tell us about it.
Be safe,
Huggers,

Good morning!
My sister came down today to help Morgan clean her room. So far 2 bags of garbage and looks like some dent has been made in the floor. Trying to hang up some nails for her to hang up her hats.
Had my 1 year followup. They think I am low in iron and have to go in for more blood work. I am now taking Vit C and soon fumurate if I can find it. I have been to two stores so far and unable to locate it. We have The Vitamin Shoppe here and GNC so I may try to get to them later today. Other than the extra vitamins they are so pleased with my results they asked me to speak at one of the informational meetings that they have twice a month. Only problem with that is that is the same night that Rainbow meets and the informational meetins are about 30 mins away in Peoria. I will get there some night.
We have a wedding to go to this evening at 5 in Ottawa. We need to leave our house around 3 to make it there on time.
Made Chili last night for dinner and will be having that for lunch today.
Hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful fall weekend. For those of you in Central Illinois Spoon River Drive is this weekend and next weekend in Fulton County. Lots of crafts, food, and flea markets!

Afternoon Everyone!
I have been up and on the run since 6 am. I had my class to teach today and there were several people I knew in the class and ended up staying until almost 2pm catching up with one of them. It was a good group today with lots of discussion. I like days like that!
Now I am home, have finished my reporting and the rest of the weekend is mine. I need to do some grocery shopping yet this weekend but that is all. The weather is sunny and crisp -- perfect!
Crystal, I am so happy you dont have to put in so much overtime at this job. That is the pits to put in long hours. I hope Jasper is all better by now and is back to his frisky self. You will love your Kindle. I love mine!
Lisa, I am so sorry your computer is giving you so much problems. I can really sympathize. It makes work twice as hard and 3 times as frustrating!
Monica, I am glad your one year check up went well! You might try Walmart for the iron supplement. That is where I buy mine. What a complement to be asked to speak at the support groups. Way to go!
Cherrie, It is great to see you posting! I think there are many of us struggling so you are not alone. We are all here to support each other.
Everyone have a great day!

I guess i'll check in also. Has been really nice day out, can't say I got a bunch of stuff done, but I did get my 20 min in on my eliptical machine, then my 17 year old daughter gave me my first official horseback riding lesson today, i'm sure i will pay for that one tomorrow, and then i went on a 4 mile walk. Now its time to kick back and enjoy the rest of the evening. Have a bon fire in the yard going for tonight. hopefully soon i will get my actual profile totally updated.
But the short version is, I started at almost 300lbs, got down to 155ish, and now as of 2.5 weeks ago was sitting at 200lbs. Well, my family is doing the "biggest loser competition" mostly to help my dad, as he has always been very obese. They did this back aaround Easter also, but i didn't participate. Anyway, this time around i've joined the competition. We started 2weeks ago last thursday. I'm am so happy i got involed. The first week lost 7 lbs, then next 0, but the scale moved today. But on top of the dieting, i really just went back to what i did when i first had surgury. Protein shakes, protein first, no sweets, no beer :(, miss that one. But, i'm doing great. My pouch truly does still work, I can't hardly eat aanything if i wanted to at this point. I'm also experimenting with lots of stuff i nevered dreamed i'd eat. Spagetti squash, different cauliflowr recipe, sweet potatoes, etc...
and last night, i actually threw up, that hadn't haappend in a long time, not that im happy aabout that, but it definietly lets me knowthings are still as they should be. will try to stay in touch better, hope to meet a few new friends.
Everyone have a nice weekend

Actually the horse back riding is new, I'm usually on the 2wheel variety of horse. It was a long road, but I must say it was a well traveled one, I have thoroughly enjoyed life since i got rid of the weight, and the x-husband. Hopefully one of these days I will update my profile with a more complete story.
