***Monday Roll Call***
Good Morning everyone.
Hope all of those celebrating your holiday today have a good day. Good luck with fasting.
Lisa, you are still in my heart and mind today. Times like this can be so tough. Remember to lean on friends when you need to.
Pam, will you pick up groceries for me? I didn't go at all over the weekend and so Johnny & I had nothing to pack for today. So food choices will not be as good as I would like but I will be good and not indulge just because I can.
I wor****il 3:30, then home to pack up my kids' bags. My mom & Pap are taking my 2 older boys to DC from Thursday to Sunday. So I want to get everything packed up today and to my mom so she can load up the car ahead of time.
After that, off to school. Then home to veg I hope. It was a busy weekend and it will be a busy week!

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Good morning - Happy holiday to all of our Jewish friends - forgot about the fasting part - good luck with that.
I'm at work today - traffic was light due to the holiday so that was nice. Not much exciting over the weekend for me - or this week for that matter. Thursday I'm off to take mom to the oncologist for the follow visit from the pet scan - we'll see what the results of that were, listen to what the doctor has to say, then go home and discuss things. Mom did tell me yesterday that she really isn't up to more treatments at this time - she's been very tired lately, coughing like crazy, and when they had to IV her for the pet scan she started bleeding out under her skin again - just too many things going against her right now to face more chemo treatments.
Other than that not much else going on in my life...hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning all - I probably should not be on the computer due to this being the holiest of days in the Jewish calendar - but some things I will have to ask god for forgiveness....Anyway - I am about to go get ready to head to the synagogue for Yom Kippur Services. I heard back from Barix - I was told that nothing should have canged and that if I usually fasted for this holiday then I should be able to do it again. They advised that I listen to my body and stay hydrated if necessary. So - the plan is to take my water and a protein drink to the templw with me and put it in the fridge there - if I start to feel weak or thirsty - I will just head into the kitchen to take care fo myself. I am sure it will not be an issue, but I am glad that I can still participate in this day the best way I can.
After services, I have to go pick up the food tray at the Deli that I ordered it from and come home and ge the house ready for the people coming tonight. I then head back to the synagogue for an afternoon memorial service. This is the most difficult one for me as I have only started going to this one wince my mom died. It is a difficult one to say the least, but I go without my family so that I can just be in my own head and deal with all the emotions that go along with dealing with the loss of a very special person. I am sure that I will not only be thinking of my mother during this time, but also Lisa and her dad.
After services this afternoon, will head back home to a houseful of family for the meal we like to call, Break the fast, however, being that it is bagels and fish and whatnot, I will partake in some egg whites for myself. I am thinking that the bagels wont affect me knowing that the egg whites for dinner will make me smile! :)
Hope you all have a nice and peaceful day. I am certainly hoping for that myself! :)

Morning Pam and PA!
Well I'm thankful for the fact that I have this day off, it is beautiful and I have so many things to take care of around this house due to the fact that my weekend revolved around happy events, such as Tony meeting my family at my grandson's soccer game on Saturday and then yesterday, Vaughn's birthday celebration, so I am grateful to the fact that I have an extra day off this week to do the things I had no time for this past weekend.
So far I've put on a crockpot of Stuffed Cabbage casserole, done two loads of laundry and am trying to figure what to do next, probably vacuum and cook up some spinach and possibly put my hand at some of those delightful recipes Liz cooks up every month! I do intend to get myself outside to enjoy some part of this beautiful day, so we shall see how quickly I can everything else done, hopefully by noon, at which time I will probably attend a noon time AA meeting and then from there I will be doing some fun stuff for me.
Hope you all get to enjoy some part of the beautiful day!
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts to all, Laureen

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 all and Happy Monday and holidays.
I am off of work today for the holiday,although I do have about an hour worth of work to do from home today.
I plan on a low keyed day today.
I continue to be amazed by the weight loss. This Wed will be 4 weeks since surgery and I am down 31 pounds post op. I never expected that I would lose that much. Not sure if it is because I am still only having about 525 calories a day.
I meet with my Net on Friday and very happy about that. I want to make sure I am doing the right thing.
Make it a wonderful Monday everyone.
Geoff
