**Thick Soup Thursday Roll Call**
Good morning everyone. We're sitting on our cruise ship in port Canaveral waiting to disembark. Sounds like it's going to be a hot one in PA today. Not sure what the weather here is other than sunny and hot.
Cruise was great - very relaxing but we're ready to be back - we miss our little furball!! A fe more days in Florida then we're in the road for home.
Hope everyone is well - haven't been able to check in much. Guess Liz and baby are doing well? Saw the post right before we left.
Ok all - take care and talk to you soon!

Hi everyone! Today is my 4 week surgiversary....hahaha - I know it's not much compared to most of you - but I feel fantastic! I know everyone said wait 6 weeks to ride my horse - but I just couldn't stand it - I've been very careful and only walking/jogging after lunging - I'm Sooooooo envious of everyone going on the trail ride! But - there's always Labor Day weekend to look forward to. Down 29 pounds in 4 weeks! Have a wonderful day everyone -

Good Morning PA!
Well it's day 3 of "get yo rear in gear" and I will say I slipped up last night (night time munchies) and ate a few unplanned things... 2oz more shrimp with dinner, a spoonfull of peanut butter, a glass of milk and a handfull of cereal. ::sigh:: I had a differential of -900 calories burned yesterday though, so I'm not really gonna beat myself up about it, I just have to stay honest with myself, and by telling you guys, it keeps me on track. I have the night-time snack attack after dinner which i NEED to cut out asap. Maybe adding a yummy protein shake will curb the cravings?
I have a really short and easy day today. Hope everyone has a great one!

I'm working today but I work at home so that is good, except I don't have air conditioning. We opened our pool last night so at lunch I plan to go out and do some vacuuming. Tonight I'll watch the Phillies and hope they turn it around. It's been a bad little stretch. I so can't wait for this work week to be over.

Morning PA!
Still tired this morning, but got my butt out of bed. Had to take Katie and her car to drop it off for inspection then drive her to work before 8, so didn't get to the gym this morning. However, I plan to go right after work. I'm going to try and get up to see Liz tonight, too, if she's up to it.
Doing full liquids today except for dinner (salmon burger) to try and get myself back on track.
Now to catch up on all I missed or deferred at work for the past 3 days. Sigh.
Hope you have a wonderful day. Dodge the hail they're calling for later - bring in or cover the sensitive plants!

Stayed up entirely too late last night. I was watching idol and then got caught up chatting on FB and on my phone...
5 AM was NOT a welcome time this morning and I'm not sure if there is enough coffee in the world to wake me up today. I think a lunch time nap is in order. I'll just have to set my clock to be sure I get up in 30 minutes.
working til 3:30ish
After work, what I do will depend on how tired I still am. If I am still tired, I will lay down and nap a bit more. If I am not, then I will head over to the gym. I have been there Sun, Tues and Wed. and am proud of myself for getting back over there.
Siehara has dance tonight, so I will pick her and her friend up from there and take said friend home. Then, it's home for a healthy dinner and a night of relaxing. Maybe I'll make my way over to the gym tonight for Pilates.
Hope I can wake up and hope everyone else has a great day!

Anson has to be at school for a final exam later this morning. We'll probably do some shopping while he's at school, then pick him up and go for lunch. We're leaving for the beach tomorrow when he'd done with his finals.
I shopped for a bathing suit yesterday. And didn't find anything. It was a little discouraging, but it's really not an issue as I do have some bathing suits for this summer. I think I'll save my money this year and plan on getting a new suit next year. Knowing me, though, I'll still keep my eye out for something for this year!
I talked to the doctor the other day about my options for a hysterectomy, and we discussed the possibility of a tummy tuck at the same time. I called the plastic surgeon and have a consult on June 10. From talking to someone at his office, though, it doesn't look like insurance will cover it since I haven't had any skin issues, but she suggested I do the consult anyway. I may call the gyn's office today and schedule my surgery so I can get that moving and probably won't have to coordinate the plastic surgery with them. I'm wondering, anyway, if I'm still too early out for any plastics. I haven't lost all the weight I want to lose, so it may be best to wait. Would love to hear opinions from my OH family!
Have a great day, all!!!

Thursday is here one more day till the long holiday weekend. Last night I ran to Macy's to take a look at luggage they had on sale that Dennis saw in an ad. It was really nice looking set so I bought us each a set since we have 2 trips planned this year and now we will match. Then I ended up in the woman's clothing section with a sale in the INC line of clothing. I found a dress and top at a great price. Summer needs to last 42 months or I need to make more clothing changes in the next 3 months then a Cher Concert at this point.
Today after work I will be heading into Center City to the Melting Pot for Girls Night out with Susan. Then home to just relax and get ready for the weekend it is jammed packed with acitivty. Looking forwar to that for sure.

Morning Steffi and the rest of PA. I can see that poor 8th grade math class now... "Mrs. Belitsky, Mrs. Belitsky... can you please wake up and teach us something!"
So Ryleigh had her sleep study last night. I talked to Erin before I went to bed and she said she didn't like getting hooked up to everything but once she was hooked up and settled down, she fell asleep. When I talked to Erin this morning, she said that Ryleigh slept pretty well throughout the night, only waking up crying twice during the night. They met with the doctor this morning and Ryleigh does indeed have moderate sleep apnea. I guess she stopped breathing on average of 7.2 times an hour but her oxygen saturation didn't decrease at all. The next step is meeting with the other doctor about taking out her tonsils and adnoids.
I took a couple hours of personal time this morning and took Hannah to school. It was nice to sleep in a little. Actually had a wonderful morning, but that was cut short by having to come to work. I'm working till 5pm and then home to relax. With a new car purchase becoming more imminent, I might take some time to clean out my car a little if it remains nice out. Time will tell.
Hey, has anyone heard from Liz? I assume she's busy being a new mommy and all, but unless I missed it, I haven't seen anything from her in a few days.
Have a great one PA!
