***Wonderful Wednesday Roll Call***
Paula,
I'm sure you are going to look beautiful. Obviously, you've come a long way in this journey. Think back to where you came from and the progress you've made to date! Hold your head up and be proud of who you are. To hell with those batwings - lol - better batwings than balloon arms - lol - you're probably the only one who notices them. Can't wait to see you in the fashion show!

Morning PA!
Not feeling too terribly motivated this morning... would have rather crawled back under the covers, and headed back to bed. I'm also extremely nauseous!
Just work work work for me today. :) nothing exciting!
Anyhow... hope you all have a great time at the meeting tonight, and have a wonderful day!

Success is a journey... not a destination! 
Good morning PA friends,
I just took a break from work, will go get some breakfast, back to work to hopefully finish up early so I can get the laundry caught up, practice my piano lesson, walk on the treadmill, and get some things packed for the conference this weekend. Two more days - woo hoo!
Blessings to each of you for a happy day!

Hi All -
Go Phillies !
Work all day - work all night.....sigh. Another long day ahead.
On the upside, I received my lease renewal yesterday for my apartment. I'm not renewing since my boyfriend and I have decided to co-habitate (and I think a ring might be in for me too !
).
Once I sign off that I'm not renewing, I'm then going to give my notice to my part-time job that I am quitting. I think I'm being pretty reasonable. I'm giving them 6 weeks notice. I have been working a second job for the last four years and I'm ready to stop working part-time.
Hope everyone has a great day !

Good morning Pam and all of PA! I am sooooo NOT feeling it this morning - I wanted to do what Mary suggested - crawl right back into bed and ignore all people today - or at least this morning. My PMS is getting the better of me - My poor poor students! I have actually called my OBGYN to talk about the PPMD meds that I am on, and we think I will need to up the dosage due to the change in the absorbtion, which, although I hear, I still do not understand the way our new body works.
And...then....and here is where I will ***** and sound so completely stupid....I was trying on jeans this morning to wear with my new Phillies shirt and the pants were all big - now, obviously, this is a wonderful thing to deal with, but it is getting on my nerves. I am too nervous to buy things that are too tight, still thinking that there is no way I will ever fit into them as this weight has to slow down at some point, but then, wearing pants that fit and in a few weeks are big and annoying. UGH!!!!! I need to get on facebook and ask people to donate size 14's to me - Hopefully some people might bring some tonight. But I think the clothes are usually 18's and higher.
OK - I just reread what I wrote - what the hell is wrong with me?!?! *****ing about needing a size 14 pants....OMG! I was in 26-28's only 6 months ago....I am finally starting to see what people were saying about how it takes A LOT longer for our brains to catch up with the changes our bodies are making!
Anyway - about my day - half day with my students - LUCKILY FOR THEM! We have what I am sure will be a stupid professional development that will **** me off even more, JUST LET ME TEACH! Home to spend the afternoon with hubby and the girls. Then off to Barix tonight.....I missed the first saturday this month, so I am in real NEED of love and support, (And some vitamins protein mix!) I am hopeful that by this evening I will be feeling less like I want to kill someone and possibly be back to enjoying people. I HATE FEELING LIKE THIS! It is not who I usually am!
UGH!!!!!

Good morning everyone. I went to the doctor yesterday and they said I have some cysts/masses on my overies and I am now on line trying to reach my OBGYN. They do not think they are cancerous. Thank God. They say the pain in my back is unrelated. I am not so sure about that but, I will go to the OB Doc and see what he says. Of course I have been waiting on the phone for 10 minutes for a nurse to make an appointment so who knows. This has not been the best 2 weeks. Now I have a fibromyalgia flare up and bad chest congestion, pms and I gained weight. AARRGGG I don't how that happened when I haven't changed anything in my eating habbits.
Sorry to be such downer.
I have no other plans today except my husband has a phone consult with his disability lawyer so we have to be home for that.
Let's pray he wins his case that would really brighten the mood around here.

Steffi,
I THINK I have at least one pair of size 14 jeans in the car with me for tonight... I'll try and double-check at lunch. AND Barix is right around the corner from Plato's Closet, which has racks and racks of jeans at like $10 - $15 (gently worn) so might be worth a quick stop if you get to the meeting early (call me if you want and I'll go over there with you! 267-261-1582)... I've found some good ones there. No need to apologize for *****ing about it, either... it's frustrating when you think you've finally got an outfit together that you like and then it doesn't fit anymore!!! (same thing with a really cute skirt I tried on yesterday to wear today and it nearly fell off me... sigh.)

Hi all!!
I am working today and then Barix meeting- really looking forward to it! Can really use the support right now.
I'm hoping to catch the end of the phillies game after the meeting. GO PHILS!
Tomorrow I have a conference in the area, so it will be a nice change of pace- plus I will be done early for once!!!
I went shopping for Halloween costumes last night (party on Sat) and for the first time didn't have to look at the "plus size" costumes! What a relief. We were so limited when we were obese.
Have a great day!
