 Good Morning. 

Yesterday, Ifinally got some flowers, and made up 4 pots. Hopefully today, I can finish them before the rain comes.

Jules, If you have to move for your husbands job, go for it. Jobs are hard to get at this time.

Nancy, keep plugging away on your house. The cleaning and decluttering will happen.

Crystal, you will make 299 by the time of Amandas wedding.

Raven, I am sorry about your marraige problems.

Dawn, you always do so much.

Today, I need to finish some housework, finish the flowers, do a couple of errands and meet our youngest for an early dinner/ late lunch at Starved Rock Park.

What is happening in your world?

Hugs,
LISA

Hello everyone

Well I did get dizzy again yesterday.  My friends at work were on top of everything.  As soon as the dizzines**** one friend was taking my blood pressure and another friend took my blood sugar.  Everything was normal...in fact I'm in tip-top shape.  So I know now the dizziness is not due to low blood pressure or low blood sugar.  It is just normal every day vertigo.  I have been reading up on it and the only time it's a concern is if you just sustained a head trauma....which I haven't.  Another friend at work that suffered from vertigo told me about motion sickness pills.  I bought some last night and they worked instantly...I mean within a minute or two.  Yeah!!!

I have, on the suggestion of some friends increased my calorie intake.  With all of the extra working out I am doing I needed to fuel my body better.  I have added another protein drink after my workouts.  I might add a mid morning snack.  I'm not used to having to add in calories for my own health.  It goes against everything I believe.  Everything in my head is screaming "NO not more you won't lose...you will gain!!!"  Funny how exercising lets you eat more and still lose weight. 

So I have no plans today or tomorrow.  I am going to be running some errands today and get in a workout.   

I hope every one has a great day.  What are your plans???  Bye

Lisa- one little correction.  I want to be 199 by Amanda's wedding...not 299.  I reached that goal a long time ago...hahaha!!!!

Sorry Crystal,

I KNOW you met that goal along time ago. Blame it on the typist not rereading the blog before I pushed submit.

Good morning IL!

Cloudy here, but not raining...now. Looks like it did during the night. Had a cook out last night for my BIL's birtdhay. Pork chops on the grill! yummy!!

Chloe is here. She is studying for her Science test. We have a new store called "5 Below" and it is designed for "tweens and teens". Their grand opening is this weekend, so Chloe and I are going. I showed her the store ad, and of course she has all sorts of stuff picked out! Everything, as you can tell is $5 or less. Lots of neat "junk" I'm sure! LOL

If the weather holds, tonight is hamburger on the grill night. Chloe's grandma and I have taught her to play rummy, so we'll prlby play of couple of games of that. We may go for a bike ride if the weather holds.

Crystal, hope your vertigo problem is solved. Lisa, hope you get your flowers planted!

Everyone have a super weekend and Happy Mother's Day to you moms!

Good morning,

Picked up my boys this morning.  All in a good mood (and with a 12 and 14 year old, that's amazing)!  I need to get on the treadmill yet today. 

Last night we went to dinner with Rob's oldest daughter.  She is getting married in July and they are super excited.  They just bought a house and will be moving in soon. 

So I measured yesterday.  I have lost 33.25 inches since my surgery.  That is incredible.  I no longer need the home care nurse and my wound is almost healed.  A couple people asked me if I would do it over again and I would in a heartbeat.  Even with all the complications, I would. 

I will be taking my older son for new shoes today and then they have to go shopping with my husband for a Mother's day gift. 

That is all for me!  Hope you all enjoy the day!

Take care,

Jules

 Afernoon Everyone!

Well, I wore myself out today!  I went and taught a check class today.  Need I say it was too soon?  I really did not want to cancel as I had canceled in Feb for my previous surgery, they did not schedule me in March or April so I did not feel I could cancel May's.  I found out I move too slow, and the class ended up being way the heck and gone from the front door.  Bless Rick.  He came with me and gave me a ride in a wheelchair that the college had.  That saved me.  I moved slowly during class but had constant reminder that I had recently had surgery.  When I came home I ate lunch and went to bed for 2 hours.    I made it but  ........barely.

No plans for tonight.  A pot roast is in the crock pot.  Tomorrow I will take it easy.  

Lisa, I am glad you got some flowers.  I miss mine already.  Crystal, keep an eye on that vertigo.  Jules -- way to go on weight loss and inches!  Enjoy the weekend with the kids.  Georgie, enjoy Chloe's visit and your trip to the $5 store.  Interesting concept to go from the $1 store to the $5 store.  Shows how much our expenses have gone up.  

It is a beautiful day here -- 72 and sunshine.  But a bad thunderstorm with large hail is predicted for this evening.  Tomorrow is supposed to be back in the 70's -- I'll take it.  

Enjoy your weekend!

Nancy,

Take it easy!  Don't try to do too much or you may go backwards!  Don't make me come visit you!  :)

Hopefully you didn't get blown away by storms!

Take care,

Jules
