Thursday Roll Call

 Tuesday was just too beautiful.  Nothing I stufied seemed to set in,  I also got the call that I would be denied continued paratransit service based on the walking I did for them.  They are sending me the form for just a reduced fare pass which was part of having the paratransit pass.  It is good to be getting better but every dollar counts these days.  If you do much bus riding and L rifing you can go through $70 pretty fast so I guess I need to bite the bullit and go ahead and get a full fare pass instead of staying at home.

Well I should go back to bed but at this point I will likely just go make coffee and turn on my bright light.  Need to get to the stufying again today.

What is the rest of Illinois doing?


Randy

So you have been forgiven?

Hello everyone

I again have nothing going on today...just work. 

I got my card for Amanda off to Peru.  I check her blog everyday to see if there's a new entry...so far no. 

I sent away for my FOID card yesterday too.  Some people are very anti-gun.  So I'm not sure who I can mention this to...or if I should mention this.  But this is something I have been wanting to do for some time now.  My friend Monica and I went and did it together.  Her husband is ex-military and works at Statesville and he will give me lessons at the gun range. 

I have been doing good with my meals and working out so I hope it shows on the scale tomorrow when I weigh in.  It would be nice to see if I'm at 199...or at least really close!!!  I'm soooo close I can taste it!!! 

Well I have to go take a shower...I will see you all later...have a good day...bye

 Hi Randy, Crystal and all IL Pals,

I am sore this morning from working out so hard last night but it feels good to be getting into shape. My body is changing but the scale doesn't move? I think I need to eat even more. I added a shake, but I still am not losing like I should.

Randy, I dont know whether to congratulate you for getting better or say I'm sorry you arent getting the free pass. I'll err on the side of positive and say congrats....

Crystal, I am not someone who would have a gun, but I believe in the constitution and the right to bear arms. Please be careful. 

It is supposed to be warm today. I have my last big crop of tomatoes to pick. I was amazed at how many turned red in the last 2 days. It's time to clean the garden for the season. I'll tackle that this weekend. 

Blessings,

Sharon

Sharon- Do you measure yourself? 

I always measure myself the 1st of every month.  Especially when you are weight training the scale might not move as much but the inches FLY off.  I measure my upper arms, chest, waist, hips and thighs.  I write every thing down in a journal.  When I compare the amount I was before my journey to now I lost a combined total of close to 51/2 feet!!!

 Hi Crystal,

Great minds think alike. I decided to check my measurements earlier and I have lost 3.5 inches from my waist in the last 3 weeks, with a total of 16.5 inches gone in total. I have lost 2 inches from my calf! That was real shocker for me. I am going to start eating more. I have been exercising about 14 hrs per week and not increasing my calories. I also have been feening for carbs and eating cereal at breakfast with a banana. Today I ate greek yougurt instead. I had to share it with my 3 cats, but it was still enough for me ;)

Thanks for your help dear one.

Best,

Sharon

Good Morning Everyone!

I am back at work today!    I am feeling really good.  I borrowed a spare cpap mask from Rick last night and slept with my machine on.  I woke up feeling really refreshed so I guess I need it.  I have a mask ordered.  The cats were so funny to see reacting to me in a sleep mask. 

I must say I feel a lot better than I did last week at this time.  I definitely notice the difference in body weight -- 20 less pounds of fluid and much more flexible.  I can move again. 

Today it is work and then home.  Nothing exciting. 

Randy, I am sorry you are losing out on your transport pass.  That would be hard to give up.  But it is great that you are getting better!

Crystal,  more power to you for wanting to own a gun.  I could not do it.  I would end up shooting myself in the foot.  But if it is what you want, you go girl!

Sharon, you are so dedicated to the exercises.  I admire that.

Everyone have a great day!

Nothing much happening here. Rain is coming down pretty good at the moment. Hope it stops before the AM, some of the kids left windows open on the bus. Maybe if their seat is wet they will learn to close them when they leave! 

Well time to go relax and call this a completed day!

 

Karen
