****Sunday Roll Call****
Good Morning Everyone,
Well, as Jan said at the Barix meeting, I usually post the Roll Call at Midnight!!! I am a night owl, and have trouble seeing the computer screen at dawn, when the rooster crows.
I had an awesome Saturday, as I finally got my butt to the Saturday support meeting at Barix. Awesome to see an old friend there, as she is the one who suggested Barix to me in the first place, as her hubby had his surgery there.
Even better, the Phillies beat the Mets!!!! Go Phils.
Well, Sunday has me heading to my early AA meeting. Then, off to church, while I can still drive myself, and then to clean, clean, clean my apartment. It is so pitiful, and I am so disgusted.
I hope everyone has a terrific day. Get out there and thank God for the awesome goodness that this time of year has for us. Things are growing and blossoming and blooming, and I am just so happy to be alive.
Huggles,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good Morning!
Trish - you sound really good which is a wonderful thing! Sorry I couldn't be at the meeting - would have been great to actually get to see you!!
Anyway it is 1:55am and here I am getting dressed for work. Theoretically I was supposed to be there at 7pm. They called me about 5:45pm and said they were over staffed so I could have the night off if i wanted to They said there was a "minimal chance" that I would need to come in at 3am. Then at about 7:30pm they called back saying they had a call out for one of the people who normally works 11p-7a. They were "at numbers" until 3am but would be understaffed by 3am, so they would need me to come in. But hell - working 4 hours is sooooo much better than working 12 hours! It just stinks as far as needing to leave the house at this time!
Anyway - so I'll go to work for my 4 hours. Come home maybe putts around the kitchen or something and then hopefully be tired enough to go to bed around 11 or 12. I did go to bed around 10 tonight and right now feel pretty good.
Back to work tonight from 7p-7a
Have a wonderful day all!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Hi all,
Things are gearng up in the support group arena. More and more people are expressing their interests. At least four area hospitals are expressing the interest in sending a bariatric doctor down to speak to our medical community about our needs and how to support us. I don't think I have been more pleased. This is an answer to prayer!
Catching up with the wash today. I am alone for the day. My sweetie is up in NY visiting his son so missing him already.
Have a great day all!

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
Trish so glad to hear that things are turning around!!!
Well I am still in bed - 7am - cats woke me a little after 6 and I decided to come on line rather then get up - of course now they are sleeping soundly - brats! lol
My family is coming over today, Aunt, Unlcle, Cousin, Grandparents, and parents for a taco lunch. Baby wants chocolate cake so I made one last night and will ice it this morning. Really everything else is done! Tacos are a quick last minute thing - I am looking forward to seeing them and spending time with them. I am so close to my family - I talk to my Mom at least once a day and My Aunt and Gradmother at least a few times a week.
God sure has painted a beautiful picture in my yard!!! I have 2 huge pink dogwoods in my front yard and outside my bedroom window - gorgeous!!! Chris is going to plant my rose garden today too which is outside the other bedroom window and he made me 2 other flower beds which we might plant this morning if he gets back early enough before my family comes. If not I will do them after work tomorrow.
Enjoy the last of the weekend all! Hoping that the sun comes out!

I certainly understand that feeling... and the more I'm "out in the world" since surgery, the more I realize how much of my life involved "grabbing a bite" here and there while out running errands or whatever.
i think the "new normal" we're developing needs to address that whole "keeping busy" thing. In my first week after surg, my "keeping busy" instead of the impulse of eating was stuff like going for a nice walk (working up in distance and speed) a couple of times a day, sorting through things in the house (like clothes) that needed weeding out, sorting through my bookcase that needed weeding ou****ching movies that I've not had the time to in years (on demand or on dvd to avoid food commercials)...
Perhaps pick up a new hobby that you've always been curious about! Anything to keep moving as much as possible and to break the old patterns of behavior.

MORNING.. I am up this early on a Sunday because there is a spin class at the gym at 9. I am planning on going to that and then doing some strength training on my chest/back/abs. After that I need to rush back home and take a shower. We are then going to an Iron Pigs game and we need to be there for the luncheon at 12:30.. This is a Bar Mitzvah party for a boy from synagogue. It should be fun. I just hope the rain doesn't affect the game. The party will go on since we are in a dugout suite, but I am hoping to also catch a game.
After the party, we are going to try to go to Ross (if it's still open) to see if we can find a bathing suit (s) for my daughter. They were only $20 there and you actually get the whole suit.. not like in JCPenney where you have to buy each piece separate.. WTF...
That's it for the day. Hope everyone has a great day

Morning, All!
I slept LATE this morning (9:30)! I think it was the weather, and I was also up later than usual last night... and it was really quiet aroudn the house... whatever. It was lovely and something I don't do enough of in my life.
Went for my 1.5mile walk, even though it was raining. Felt good to push myself to do it with "no excuses." I'm trying really hard to be done with excuses for not exercising (it's too far to drive, the weather sux, i'm tired, i don't have time, i have cramps) because those excuses take over everything too easily. i really don't like exercising, but am seeing it as a necessity, so am trying to transform how I think of it. So when I'm walking, I'm trying to feel the muscles getting sculpted by the movement, for example, and trying to get to the point where I feel a thrill of success at breaking a sweat.
Came home, showered, fixed a protein shake and sat down with the Sunday paper. SPILLED the very cherry berry shake all over the kitchen about halfway through it. eeew. Sticky mop job, fixed another half shake. Sigh.
When Eddie gets home from work this afternoon, we're going to finish casing the bathroom door, which will just about completely finish that job (YAY!!!). All that will be left is polyurethaning the door itself, which has to wait until good weather.
Until then, I'm going to work on a couple of websites that clients have been waiting for.
Have a great day, folks!
