Monday Roll Call

Good morning Illinoisans!

Yes it is Monday and I'm not looking forward to it either. I have a ton of work emails which all say "answer this now" and I have to teach this morning, so it will be a very hectic day. Perhaps the rain forecast will make it easier to be in the office--there will be no temptation to go outside and enjoy the weather.

Now that the traveling is over for about six weeks, I need to crack down on the food. I have followed my Nuts suggestions and they don't work, so back to listing my food on the computer. I will commit to this here, so check up on me.

Have a good day...I am changing my self talk to saying this will be a good day.

Nosey me.  What program are you using for listing your foods.  I use FitDay.  I have tried thedailyplate and spark people but found both harder than fitday.  I really need to learn .Net and create my own but it is a huge task and one I wish I could find someone willing to pay myself and a few other folks to build and maintain.

I use calorieking.com. IT is a program you have to pay for and download but I have used it for something like four or five years and you can add your own stuff to it. I think it was around $40 and five people can use it. Connie

For me none because my mind does not do well with numbers, lists etc. I just make sure that I eat slowly, protein first and keep to the recommended 1/2 cup or less that my doctor says we should stay with for a meal. I still even have trouble 5 years out getting in my 3 meals and 3 snacks a day.

Good Morning everyone!!

Well, today is my preschoolers first day of school! He is excited because he gets to see his little girlfriend! lol
We spent 4 hours outside yesterday with my oldest riding his 2 wheeler! I am so proud of him, I just can't believe how quickly he mastered it! He was flying around on his bike yesterday!

Depending on the rain, we are supposed to have soccer practice tonight, but I guess that is a wait and see thing right now. I know the boys both really need the practice, so I hope the rain holds out for them!

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning, Today is another typical Monday. I am off to work in about 10 min, and I am just now trying to eat some breakfast.

Yesterday was a good day, got some small stuff done. Today I am expecting a madhouse, hence the reason for the early leaving. Otherwise, all is well.

Hope the rain holds off until later this evening.

Hugs

Lisa, love the new picture!  Now it looks like the you I've met!

Good Morning Illinois!

Well I started off the morning on a positive note!  I hopped on the scale and it is moving again.   I am 1 pound away from twoterville!  I can't wait.  Hope I can get there by my surgeon's appointment on Thursday.

We have a potluck at work today and I made that jello salad with mandarine oranges and cottage cheese that we had at our last meet and greet.  It tastes really good.  So I will have at least one dish I can eat. 

The weekend flew by.  I wish they would slow down like the weeks do and the week would fly instead.  Cant have everything.  It was a beautiful weekend and I really enjoyed it. 

Lisa, I really like your new picture!  Looks great.

Have a great week.

Mornining Nancy,
I briefly lived in Lasalle, back in 1991.  I loved it out there it is such a nice little town.  The people are so friendly ( I had to get used to people saying HI to me)  I lived on Tenth Street (I think it was 406 Tenth Street).  I didn't want to leave but work was hard to come by out there.  I always think maybe one day I will retire and live out there.   

I really like it here.  I moved here 15 years ago.  I live up on Campbell street near Northwest school.  I love how friendly the people are and I have wonderful neighbors!  It is not a very great place for work.  I have had my job eliminated twice since I have been here and it is hard to find something professionally.  But at my age, I hate the thought of starting over someplace else.  I have a retirement income coming in so that does help supplement my regular job.  Come visit sometime!
