Sunday Roll Call

One party down and another to go this afternoon. It was such an enjoyable day and evening yesterday. From what I understand it is to be a little warmer today, somewhere around the low 80's. Going out for a run in a little bit then onto a few things around the house before we go out. What plans to the rest of you have for the day? Gotta get going Christine I just wanted to included a PS here for all you ladies and guys that might just lurk or are too shy to come out and post. It might seem that this roll call post is for the "regulars" on the IL board but it is not. We all encourage anyone to come in and comment on any one of the posts that is made here. We welcome all. I look at it this way - the IL board is a real safe place to start with posting and get your feet wet for the other forums. So, you know who you are and I have chatted with many of you via PMs so - come out come out  whereever you are and introduce yourselves. We all love to meet and make new friends on this board and be supportive of one another. Smooches

Good morning Christine. Yesterday I had a great time at Willow's house. We spent sometime in her hot tub. I got to sport one of my bikinis too! Today is a day at the pool for me. Floating on an air mattress and socializing with the neighbors. I'll have some housework to do but can do that later in the day. All is well! Have a great Sunday. Hugs Lucy

Lucy, being at the pool sounds great but it is still a little too cool for me. Laying in the sun would be great. I wish I could have made it yesterday to Val's but I could not be in two places at once. Our party here in the neighborhood was fantastic. I did find out that the Walk from Obesity is on Sept 15th this year. I will not be able to make it because we will be in WI for a festival that whole weekend starting on Thursday.  Dave and I both gave our testimonies at the Kane seminar yesterday and we also put Dave's shorts on together like we did here at my house back in May. We brought the house down with that. The attendees thought that was fantastic.  Need to go start my day. Christine

Christine, you'd be surprised that it gets quite warm on the sundeck at the pool. The sun heats up the area and although it might be in the low 80's it feels so much warmer. I tend to be colder now without the excess fat and skin.  I will most likely be going to the walk this year.  Lucy

Hi Lucy, Enjoy the pool and show off those new bikini's  :-) Mary

Good Morning~ We were out late last night so I am just getting the day started.  I have some yard work to do and some house cleaning.  I do need to hit the classifieds and hopefully send out some resume's.  I may go visit Mary today.  I'll check in with her in a few to see if she is staying or going hom.  Not too much more going on.  I guess we'll just have to see how the day progresses. Have a great day! Christina

Hi Chris and IL Board, It is a lovely day in Chicago.  I need to get laundry done, more shopping and another graduation party.  I had a short walk as the pesky foot pain is acting up.  I see a foot doctor tomorrow so I hope it is a minor thing.  Since surgery in October I have not taken any tylenol or any over the counter pain meds.  Prior to surgery, I popped advil all day long. The sun is very nice, I just need to keep slathering sunscreen as I am not as lucky as Lucy :-) Enjoy the day. Mary

My day is very much like yesterday. Going to another park but this one will be all walking, its at Wild Life Prairie State Park. The trees are so full and the undergrowth, that we will be lucky if we see and animals. The exercise will be great.  At 5 we have a t-ball game. Then Im coming home and I'm going to soak in a very warm bath. With the drive to Chiago on Thursday, then the drive home friday after a full day of walking. When I got home had to go help my mom, my stepdad isn't well and she can not get him out by herself. She needed to go shopping, to get a few things,so that was another 1 hr drive both ways. Then the day at the park yesterday playing baseball with the kids then add today on top of that,  this old body is exhausted. It needs some R$R. well thats my weekend in a nut shell. Karen

Today is going to be a chill day. I jsut got finished with my first week at this new internship downtown- and traveling down there on buses and trains is no joke. I try to walk from the train to work- about 4 blocks..but sometimes it just seems to far and to hot out.. But anywho--- today I am going to go visit my little sister b4 she heads off to camp for four weeks. Then back home, and relaxing/doing laundry/ being a bum for the rest of today! should be great!

Shana, so glad that you joined us. Yes, taking the train and buses when being MO is not fun. Good job on trying to get some physical exercise as a pre op. It will help get the weight loss rolling and condition your heart and lungs for your sugery. Christine
