Monday Roll Call
Hi everyone!
I worked all weekend and it is sure nice to be off today! I was sad to miss the nice weather yesterday, though. That one hour less of sleep between shifts really hit hard, I'm beat today!
Lynn, congratulations on your new great-grandchild. What an exciting time for you between the baby and your surgery coming up! That pre-op diet is a ()*&(_&&, but it will be over soon! I'm dusting off a spot on the loser's bench for ya!
Monica, have you gotten in touch with your doc? If that pain continues, definately get it checked so it doesn't turn into something serious. How is school going?
I'm doing well. I'm in a little "adjustment" period at the moment. During the 1st year losing phase, did anyone experience times when they actually went UP 3-4 lbs for a few days? This is the first time I've experienced that and it scared the heck out of me. I'm guessing it's just fluid, I'm doing all the right stuff.
On a brighter note, I'm having so much fun with my smaller self! I went out and kicked and chased a soccer ball with my daughter last week. I've pulled the VERY SMALLEST size clothes I have out of the back of my closet and some are even too large now. I actually enjoy getting dressed, putting on makeup and going out to do things, and I'm not so darn tired all the time.
Here's a toast to all of us and the hard work we're doing to be healthy!

I just created a 2-week menu (at Dr. Gourmet, drgourmet.com) for my family to get us on-track. This past weekend was high-stress and too much fast food.
Do RTD protein drinks create the runs? I have no idea what's going on.
Will see what happens the rest of the week.
Loving the change in weather. My garden is coming up. :)
Have a good week!
