Tuesday Roll Call

HAHA, it took me a whole summer to figure out what to do on the photo wall. During that time my dining room had all the picture frames laid out all over it. I had to wait for the family crest to get here before putting the pictures back up.

Itasca has movie nights all summer long on Saturday's. Just like Monica said large portable screen and you lay out on the lawn.

 

Good morning Illinoisans!

It's just a regular day here today, nothing much on tap. Go to work, work, come home.

I am enjoying the fall changes--you can almost see the leaves changing as  you watch. Every day the trees outside the window by the computer are just a shade different.

This is the ninth day of the ten day plateau buster plan. I have followed it exactly and it does work! We'll see the grand total Thursday morning. It does feel good to be losing again.

That's awesome Connie, I can't wait to hear the total amount lost!!  I'm so glad that the plan is working for you!

Hi Chris. I just love your photo layout creations. Sounds so lovely. It amazes me that you and Dave are so active all the time. I guess that is a good side effect from WLS.

My boss is not close to my office, so I don't see him much or hear from him either. I've been lucky as I am very independent here and all that counts is that I get the job done.

I am feeling so good that I am sleeping better these days. Now I am going to have to set the alarm clock because I am sleeping late. that's me!!

Oh, sorry everyone! Good morning Illinois friends.

I am so excited about the months ahead. I feel like a new post-op anxiously awaiting the physical changes again. The positive part is that the results of my weight losses will show much sooner, since I am smaller to start with. YAY!!!!

I'm being careful by removing skins from my vegetables before eating them. Yesterday went very well, as I didn't  at all and was not hungry at  all. My tools are convincing my head and securing the message that I am not hungry and don't need to eat (of course, my band won't let me go that far). Finally, my pouchie is taking over again.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and cool fall day!

Hugs,
Lucy

 Good morning Chris and Illinois!

 Not much going on around here but errands today.
Everyone sounds so busy. Hope you all keep warm.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning Chris and everyone else!

Your photo wall sounds very nice.  I can not seem to get pictures hung at my house.  The wals are plaster and it can make a big mess if not done right, so I seem to avoid doing it at all. 

Nothing too big on the agenda for today......I still don't have my car back and he called last night saying that he had to get more valves, so that means more $$$$.  Todd is pretty upset, but since he didn't have the timing chain replaced when the mechanic recommended it.................
I am just worried that I won't be able to trust my car from now on.  I am hoping to see it again tonight, but not counting on it.

So, just work for me today, then home to cook some pork chops that I have marinating.  I will add some cauliflower and a green veggie and call it dinner.

I'm thinking of you all and wishing you a magnificent, if chilly, day.

 I am spending a fun day with DGD Abigail! She follows around behind me saying Mam-ma! It really makes my day! She's at the age where she imitates your every move!
I think I need to remeasure food intake weight loss has really stalled out. I have upped the exercise though but no losses in 2 weeks.



Have a great day and enjoy the cooler weather.

Good morning all!

Just a regular day here today too.  Busy catching up on paperwork and reorganizing the filing cabinet and going thru mail and magazines and PURGING!  My favorite thing to do!!  It feels so good when I am done!

It is a beautiful fall day today and Brigid has already been outside ( her favorite place) playing on the deck.  I have the windows open and a really yummy fall candle burning.  I am making a crock pot dinner and Dawn's pumpking pie pudding for dinner.  Easy for me.

I made an apt with my nutritionist for Thursday to see if she can help me with this weight loss.  I saw them pre op and promised Id come back post op, and I need some advice.  I got a referral so if the insurance is going to pay, then HEY! Im going.

I hope everyone has a great fall sunny day!

Hi Chris and Illinois friends,

This morning I took my car in for what I thought would be 30,000 mile check and was informed it was done early last year! Boy was I happy to not have to spend $439. they had quoted me. I did get an oil change and my original key configured to my car ( they gave me wrong one as a spare  when I purchased the car) payed $22 dollars and was off to go shopping. bought my chihuahua a halloween costume "Devil" I hope it fits, for a little dog he has wide girth - should have just made him a football costume, that is what he looks like.

My husband thought I was nuts to set a 7:30am appointment when I have the whole day available, but soon I will be returning to work and I have to get adjusted to the early waking hours. I think I will continue waking at 6am. 

my afternoon will be spent hanging around for Furnace Check appointment. I tried to switch the heat on and nothing... Nice to find these issues out before we really get COLD.

I am expecting to be extra cold this winter without all my extra layers of fat! I experiencd this before once when I lost 77 pounds with Weigh****chers, winter came and I was EXTRA cold all the time. Anyone else notice this when the weight comes off??

Thursday I have post surgery lifestyle class at St. Alexis. I am looking forward to it. 

Everyone have a great day  

Hello all!  I was glad to wake up to cool weather again today...I love the fall!!  I can't wait to go buy some pumpkins.  Tody is my hubbies last day of vacation from work so he is doing some light house stuff for me (changing sheets, etc) so I can be ready to be on my own.  Today my pain is really absolutely mnimal so I am sure (with doctor's permission) I will be ready to go back to work (school nurse) on monday.  yay!! 

Take care everybody!
