Terrific Tuesday Roll Call
Good morning everyone!
I'm off from my regular job today and working the ambulance 6a-6p. It should be a beautiful and relaxing day. Nothing really planned after work. Hang out with the girls since I didn't see them much yesterday.
Today, I am also starting the pouch test in an effort to get my head out of my backside and get back on track. I went to the grocery store last night and stocked up for my couple days of liquids. I'm focused and committed to this. I think it will go well.
On a side note.... 18 more days till Aruba!
On another side note... I know many of you don't do protein shakes, but I do. My problem was always finding a protein powder that I liked. I've trade different ones and found success when I started using the recipes found here and all over the net. Back to protein powder... some of it I still think tastes like crap, no matter how you mix it, but I bought some samples from Bariatric Fusion when I ordered my vitamins and it is really good. Mixes well, lots of flavors, minimal nasty aftertaste, but it's a little pricier than other stuff. Worth trying if you are looking for one you might like.
Enjoy the beautiful day everyone.

Have you ever tried the Matrix protein powders? They're not too bad (either that or I've grown accustomed to their taste) - I mix 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 vanilla w/milk for a mocha one - I keep the flavorless one on hand and mix in some OJ, sf pineapple and sf coconut syrup for a 'pina colada' frozen drink - and the Magic Bullet is a must to get that stuff mixed really good.
I drink them mostly on weekends when my eating schedule is all screwed up - they're good for about 30 grams of protein so at least I know I'm getting that in, and since I'm usually busier on weekends than at work (yeah, weird, huh) they do stick with me.

Good Morning Lynn and congratulations on your new grandbaby !!!!
Today has me at work til 3:30. After work, I'll stop at my Mom's to drop off a suitcase that she is borrowing. She is leaving for Florida on Thursday. My Grandfather passed away and she and my Aunt are heading down for the memorial.
Of course, I'll hit the gym tonight and then home to rustle up some dinner.
That's it for me. Hope everyone has a super day !

Morning. I think I'm feeling better today. I was scheduled off today to go to the last Passover service for the year. I am not going to go, but will at least get out of bed today. I need to open the windows and wash my sheets to get out whatever bug got into me. I'll also get into the shower.
Tonight Siehara has family counseling. I'll finally get to bring up the whole sexting thing with her. We haven't seen her since this whole fiasco.
That's it for me. I'm just going to take it easy to be sure I am ok for work tomorrow.

YAY!! Welcome Lilly and Congrats Grandma!
AS for me - my day is off to one hell of a start. I am going to rant - I work with 2 incompentent MEN that can't figure anything out on their own. I was off for 1 stinkin day and they screw up a huge project that I had to fix this morning before 7am (I got here at 6:45). UGH! So as a result I am not sitting at my desk trying to calm my nerves and get the braxton hicks contractions to stop. It is going to be a LONG 12 weeks that I am out on maternity leave and I feel so sorry for the co-workers I like and the owners!
as for my plans for the day - work then home to make dinner and relax at this rate that's all I am going to have the energy for!

Good moring all - congratulations on another grandbaby, Lynn!! Awesome! I have 3 of my own (all girls) - hubby as (gulp) 25 grandchildren and we are waiting on numbers 13, 14 and 15 GREAT grandchildren now!! Yes I need a flow chart to keep track of all their names - LOL!!
I'm at work today - relaxing. Another busy night last night - beginning to wonder if I'm not trying to keep myself busy to (a) keep from missing mom and (b) help me sleep better since my sleeping has sucked since she died. I wake up and a million thoughts run through my head - it is getting better but man, I just wish I could turn it all off for one night.
Running to the mall at lunch to return 2 bathing suits to Sears - cute but did nothing for the 'girls' if you know what I mean, then to Home Depot to return a light fixture. Putting some money back INTO the account today instead of taking it out.
That's about it for me - hope everyone has a great day.

Lynn,
Congratulations on the newest addition to your family!
Today's a long day at work with several expected-to-be-annoying meetings, and still trying to play catch up on so many things.
Tonight I plan to go to the gym right after work for interval fight training, then head to DSW or Famous Footwear to find some "cute spring shoes" that I can wear with skirts. I can't fathom wearing boots in 85-degree weather. Then again, most of my clothes that fit are winter clothes, so I will have to start looking for some warmer-weather choices now, too! Hmmm.... maybe Marshalls on the way home? Sounds like too many stops for tonight. Sigh.
