Hello everyone

I went to Whole Foods last night before the movie.  I love that place...I could easily spend too much money there.  But I pretty much stuck to my grocery list.  Which is amazing because I shopped hungry!!!

I am working on plans after work.  I don't know if we will do it or not.  I can get comedy club tickets for $5....trying to see if Greg is interested.  If not it will be a quiet night at home.

I agree with Lisa it's nice to see Sharon on here again.  We just have to get Nancy on here more.

Well I better get going...back to work.  Lets hope the day goes by fast.

Does anyone have any great plans for the weekend? We don't. I have a wake to go to tonight, but that is it.

Karen, I am on day 4. Not sure if I am losing any weight, but I know I am in the bathroom more.

Carla, I am so glad you are better.

Crystal, I am happy fpr ypu getting a new boss, You sound a lot happier about your job.

Nancy?

Dawn, where are you?

Sharon, it is so nice that you have come back to OH. You were truly missed.

I hope no one gets sick this weekend. With me, I am surprised that I don't get sick more often. Remember, I work with clients all day, and most of them will come in sick.

Have a great day,

Huggers,

Lisa

Day 4 of the 5 day pouch test. I seem to have more energy! I am up and doing more. This may have been just what I needed to get my self back on track. I have been getting in 10000  plus steps daily. I was invited today to go to Hawaii with my oldest daughter and her family, not for a year and a half, but I might just take them up on the offer! I have a great fear of flying and it seems to be getting worse. Flew last week and I had to close my eyes and I think I stopped breathing till I knew we were really on the ground! Time will tell!

ANy way tomorrow will be day 5 of the pouch test, I was able to eat chicken today, canned but with out the feeling it was stuck. 

 

Well nothing more to say, so have a great evening!

Karen

Hello everyone

I am eating lunch right now.  I thought it would be a perfect time to take a break and come here.

I am much more content at work now.  I have a nice boss now and the pressure is gone.  The fear of constantly getting yelled at and belittled is gone.  And the new controller seems to frown on that behavior anyway.  So I have noticed that she is nicer to people.  She even asked me about my wedding plans one day.  Which shocked me. This big change and attitude is all because the there is a new president and he brought in a new controller....and thet are all about a new culture in the office....and I can tell.  Yeah!!!

I was also trained on a new additional job.  It will be my job to update the insurance certificates for the construction jobs.  Really not a big job just have to be very detailed. 

Talking about losing weight I haven't stepped on a scale since before Christmas but I think I will tomorrow because I think I lost weight.  My ring is getting looser and looser on me.  I don't want to get it professionally sized till I get my wedding band, because I also want to get it sized and soldered to my engagement ring.  So in the mean time I think I am getting those rubber things to put on my ring....because it is just spinning around on my finger and sliding around. It would be nice to look down and see the diamond on my finger and not the back of the ring!!!

Tonight we are going to the movies and that is our night. 

Well back to work.  See ya laters gators

Good Morning,

I have been busy at work, and at home. Today is clean kitchen and frig day. Other things will get done too, but that is my plan.

It sounds like everyone else is busy too.

I seen where Carla is or was in the hospital. I hope she gets feeling better fast. I know she wants her Vinnie fix.

Today is day 3 of the detox diet. No problems with it yet. This is the cabbage soup one. It is very tasty. I am also making sure I am on the gazell each day. Hopefully with the diet and exercise, I can start losing again.

I hope everyone is doing good.

Hugs,

Lisa

Hi everyone, 

If I wait much longer to post I could start tomorrow's post! LOL

Tomorrow we leave to go through the Panama Canal--something I've always wanted to do! We'll be gone a bit over a week and Kelly will run the store. This trip was planned and paid for 18months ago, long before we ever dreamed of working again!   The weather will be warm and I could use some sun!

hope you all are doing well! "See"you in a week!

Connie

Good day everyone,

I'm taking a little break from my busy packing day from packing my bags for my trip to Arizona tomorrow. About this time tomorrow I'll be in the air and on my way to Arizona. Me and my aunt have plans once I come in tomorrow, my aunt going to pick me up at the airport one I land and get my bags. So much to do in a few days. I printed my boarding pass about an hour ago. I'm been looking forward to this trip for a year now. I can't wait for tomorrow to get here. My flight out from Chicago Midway International Airport on Southwest Airlines is at 10:40 a.m. and the boarding is at 10:10 a.m., so I'm going to leave for the airport around 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. I'm excited, but nervous at the same time. The parts that I don't like about being on the airplane is the takeoff, the landing, and the turbulence. I better get going and do what I need to do so I won't forget anything for my trip tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone.

Hello everyone

Yesterday and today will be a normal day.  Today I am making spaghetti with Italian chicken sausage from Trader Joe's.  The spaghetti is gluten free and made from quinoa.  I love it...I prefer it.  Now when I eat "regular" pasta it feels heavy in my stomach. 

Tomorrow we are going to watch American Sniper at the movies.  I got a Groupon for the Studio Movie Grill in Wheaton for $5 each.  I hate paying full price for movies.  And I like going to the movies that serve actual food and not just junk.  Then I will tend to eat healthy then...instead of popcorn and candy. 

Talking about visiting daughters.  I will be visiting mine in April.  We have been pricing it out and with airfare, hotel and car rental it will be about $1400.  Yes this will be an expensive year.  I am hoping that my old apartment complex is honest and sends me my deposit because that will more than cover half. 

Well back to work my OH peeps.  Have a good day all

Hello My Dear Peeps,

I am heading out early for a little volunteering, then I will come home and really do those chores I have been talking about doing daily for the past week. Yesterday, the cat groomer was around the corner from my daughter's house,so I wound up spending the day there with the babies, so my daughter could run her errands. We had a great day together.

Today I will try to fit a swim in and then lots of laundry. How a man can have that much laundry to do, is beyond me. I also have a meeting tonight.

Tomorrow i will be out the door by 5a for work, then we are going to the Bulls game tomorrow night, so I doubt you will hear from me tomorrow.

Everyone sounds busy but healthy and good.

Hugs and blessings,

Sharon
