Well looky here who is starting roll call this am :)

Hope all is fine with all of you and to those who are struggling with anything and everything know your OH family is here for you!!

Let's see....I'm leaving work and headed directly home, but only for a minute or two.  Following hubby to the repair shop...dropping off his car...then headed to the bank and the grocery store.  Speaking of which...we're having a "mexican party" at work tonight....gotta figure out something to bring...preferably something I can eat, too. 

(I suggested margaritas but alas...something in the bylaws and what not prevented that )

Hopefully by then the car will be ready (they are saying only about an hour or so, it's just for an inspection) and we'll go pick it up.

Home to make whatever we buy at the store for the party tonight.

Then off to bed for some good sleep!!!

Work again 7p-7a...and then it'll be "3 down, one to go" as Tuesday is my last night at wor****il the following monday, whoo hoo!!

HI All!
 Well today I am just going to be relaxing and then working on my Final that is due at the end of this Weekend!!! I am hoping to get this Final done in two days so I do not have to worry about it and post it and move on to my next courses coming up!! I am in need of some advice and suggestions. I am coming up close to my surgery and I need to lose ten pounds before my surgery! I did lose 5 pounds at one point but i have gained it back. Now I need some suggestions on what I should try to eat in the next few weeks to lose some pounds???

I went on a "self inflicted" sort of kind of full liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery and lost 14+ pounds because I had gained weight

I would have:

low sodium broth
crystal light
sf jello
sf pudding
lf ricotta cheese
sf pudding pops
sf ice pops

Every other day there abouts I would eat dinner with hubby but I would only have 2 ounces of lean meat (like chicken breast) and a salad.

Watch your sodium intake VERY carefully.  Things like diet soda, canned soup, canned veggies is full of salt and will cause you to gain water weight.  Aim for 2gm or less (or 2000mg or less)

Speaking of water, drink a minimum of 64 ounces of decaf liquids a day.  Water will be best.  And the more the better.

I did the slim fast diet for a week pre-op to loose the weight I needed to - shake for breakfast, snack and lunch then a dinner of protein and veggies.

You can go it!! GOod luck!

Good Morning Pam! What a weekend. we wanted to get a lot of yard work done but the rain had other ideas.... we did get some done saturday afternoon. Yesterday some of my family came over for lunch. Well my Mom ended up not feeling well and spent the night. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep because I was checking on her all night. OK and Chris just called me - he is going in to work late (he was supposed to start at 7:30 this morning) because he is having bowel issues! REALLY I didn't taint the food! lol I made tacos, the ground beef was fresh and cooked all the way - must be something going around. I don't fell well either but well I have other things to blame! lol

Anyway on to today. I am at wor****il 4 (unless someone needs me at home!) AFter work I am going straight home and I am EXHAUSTED already and it is only 6:45! lol I should put away some laundry but that's about it... Oh and make dinner.

Happy Rainy Monday All - Drive safely if you have to go  out!

Hello everyone... here it is Monday morning.. yippee!! NOT..

working today 7-3:30... at some point, preferably this morning, I need to take my car to the shop to get a new tire.  I was at my friend's house last night and getting ready to go to Target when he noticed that my tire was low.  Well, we went to a gas station to get air, but the machine did not work.  While we were there, he noticed a nail in it.  So, he put my donut on it.  Then, we had to go to ANOTHER gas station to put air in THAT.   He drove my car home for me and his wife met us at my apartment to take him home.  

One thing I pointed out to him, though, is that, before I would have been really worried about how I was going to get the 3 BLOCKS home from the place I am taking the car.  Now, I just checked out the path and made sure it was safe and said "Oh, it's right up the street.. at least I can walk home and work while I wait for it to get done"  Granted, it's a busy street --MacArthur Rd in Whitehall, for those who are familiar--- but I can cross it fast enough now, that it shouldn't be an issue.   So, I can even get a WOW moment out of the situation


ANYWAY, after work and picking up my car, I have to pick Siehara up from Girls on the Run.  Then, they are having Rita's night for the school at the Rita's on Tilghman Street in Allentown--I think.. depends on the weather.  If we mention the Jewish Day School when we go, the school gets money from it.  So, if anyone lives near there and is going there between 3:30 and 8 tonight, please mention the school.  THANKS!!!

After that, I have a sisterhood meeting for the synagogue.  This is the one where we plan the Sisterhood Sabbath.  We need to organize food, people, and talk about the board for next year and make sure everyone is ok with me taking over as president.  I don't think there will be an issue, but there is one strong willed/ strong mouthed person who may object.  We'll see.

That's it.. that's enough..

Hope the rainy stuff stops and that everyone has a good day!

HI all,

Another volunteer day then an appointment with OVR.  I STILL don't know what to do for the rest of my life.  Not many options up here in the boonies.

Was in State College for a conference.  Felt sort of out of place.  Came home early to find my hubby and the dog driving up to NY.  So I spent Saturday and Sunday alone.  Wow, strange.

They should be back sometime today.  He has to work tonight.

Later!

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Good morning all - my first post to the roll call - Today has me off to hear oral presentations on statistics from about 90 8th graders - Always fun....

After school I will have my first training session at the new gym I joined - and then hopefully a good swim before I come home and collapse - (Also read - argue with children about homework!)  

Then with any luck a quiet night in front of the TV (Or at the least in front of the computer on facebook and OH!)

Have a wonderful rainy Monday everyone!  Try to think about the pretty colors that all this rain will bring soon! :)
Happy to be in

Some days your the dog and some days your the hydrant.

Good morning Pam and everyone - Man, what is with this lousy weather? It seems like we're running a full month behind on everything - bitter cold in March - windy as all get out in April - now all this rain in May?? Blech. I need some sun.

Did a little of this and that over the weekend - took mom to get her hair cut and do some shopping but her portable oxygen machine wasn't working so our shopping trip was cut short. I did find some cute tops on Saturday so that helped me feel better.

Back at work today - very moody this morning and not sure why. Shouldn't be PMS'ing this soon - have another week to go for that. Oh well, this too shall pass.

Let's all pray for some stinking sunshine! I want to put all my new garden stuff out and sit outside in the SUN.

Kathy
