***Monday Roll Call***
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Good Morning Trish & PA Posters,
Well I hope the Phillies go the distance!
As for me, well let's see, I must have dreamt it, but I forgot to switch the on button for my alarm clock this morning and I woke up and the clock said 5:42 a.m., which is an hour and 12 minutes past the time I get up on workdays. . . not a fun way to start my work week, so I took out the train schedule and surrended to the fact that I was going to be late, packed my food for the week, took my shower, dryed my hair and was out the door in less than 50 minutes. . . I had to drive up to Hamilton to catch the train instead of taking the Riverline from Florence to Trenton and it cost me $6 to park, but I made it into work only 45 minutes late, so all in all that is not too bad, no lunch hour for me today. . .
Anyway, I'm sitting at my desk, catching up on what all happened in your lives over the weekend, as mine was spent doing the things I enjoy doing, such as hanging out with friends, laughing and such, light cleaning this weekend since I went to town cleaning last weekend ;) Yesterday I did a lot of cooking, food preparation for the week, as well as watched the Jets game, what a disappointment, I rarely get to see my team play and they lost in OT. . .
I had a very emotional WOW moment this past weekend. . . for my birthday back in June I got a gift certificate from my lunch table birthday club for JCPenney's, well I saved it figuring by the fall I'd need some work clothes, well Saturday I went shopping with GC in hand, went to the petites department and took 4 pairs of slacks with me, 2 (14's) and 2(12's), I tried on the 14's and they were baggy in the seat and thigh area, so I tried on the 12's, I pulled them up thinking no way are these going to fit me, even as I easily pulled up the zipper, I was having a hard time accepting that they fit perfectly, I looked in the mirror and cried. When I began this journey, I said I hoped to be a size 10 when all was said and done, well the realization of that is getting closer and I don't think, considering all the stalls and such I've endured throughout that I ever really believed I would see a size 10, so to be within one size of that, is just simply amazing to me. . . In the meantime, I have lots of size 16s and such that need a home, if there are any takers, let me know before the November 1st Barix meeting and I will bring them, otherwise they will go to good will. . .
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen
