***Wednesday Roll Call****
I haven't posted regularly because my life is summed up in 6 words..."second verse, same as the first."
I think I prefer it that way. When it does get shaken up around here, it's over the top type of stuff. Don't need it.
So, for today, Sierra has a braces adjustment appt. Later, Alexis, Kelsey & Peyton have hair cuts. Alexis had her hair cut last week and now she feels brave enough to go shorter. The youngest 2 LOVED her hair and now THEY want their hair cut like their big sister.
Van has an appt. and I've officially overbooked myself. Now, my MIL will be picking us up and taking us to our appt. Had to find a place for Sierra to go after school so she can get to cheerleading practice. She has try-outs on Thurs. Everyone send good cheerleading juju her way. She REALLY needs this!! It will boost her confidence and get her to hang out with a better group of girls than she has found in the past. OK, I really need this.
After all this rigamaroll...home for the folding of the mountain of laundry before our weekend getaway. I don't mind folding, I HATE putting it away!
My weight's been stuck for a couple days. I know it's no biggee, but, last week I lost everyday because I completely avoided carbs. But, I ate 2/3 serving of dreamfields pasta on Sunday and you'd think I'm eating a loaf of bread the way it halts everything! My body either hates me when I eat carbs or LOVES carbs!
That's it...cu tomorrow.

Hiya Pam, PA,
Sorry to hear that your head just isn't in the game. . . sweetie, you do so much, you are a caretaker by trade and as a result, seems you are just a natural in all walks of living, nothing wrong with taking time for yourself, even if everyone is used to you being their go to person, you need to step out of the uniform and into the dream of what you are wanting to fulfill Pam, though as "little" as I know you personally, from what I know about you, you are just naturally fulfilling yourself by giving of yourself, either way, take time for you, it will give you what you need to continue to be giving. Just my pennies worth of insight. . .
As for me and my life, well last night I met up with my older daughter, who is in Glenmoore, PA on business for 2 days/1 night, we all (my son, his wife, the kids) met up at the King of Prussia Mall and had dinner at Bahama Breeze's and then my daughter and I just kind of sat in our cars and chatted for a while, had I thought of it, I would have brought clothing and spent the night at the hotel with her, seeing as Glenmoore is only 33 miles from my job. . . ooh well, perhaps another time, it was nice to spend time with her, I came away proud of the person she has become and feeling wistful that we don't all live closer together. . .
Today has me at work, up this morning, giving Roxie quality time, this evening I need to shop for the bbq I am hosting on Saturday for my AA buddies, first bbq I am having in the past 2 summers and it is looking like mother nature is going to cooperate with temps in the mid to upper 70s and low 80s on Monday. . . sunny and dry, I'd say that's a good sign for the summer to come. . .
Well that about covers what is going on in my corner of the world, just east of the border of Pennsylvania. . .
Hugs and good wishes to all, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hi Pam and PA,
Well, I'm home from Boston. Yay. So glad to be back here - i was very anxious about stuff at home while I was gone, especially with eddie's mom still being so sick, and eddie being really, really depressed... in some ways it just felt like the wrong time to be gone. Even with that, I had fun seeing my nephew Kevin (a great young man) and the conference was excellent.
It's unfortunate to see that I'm not the only one feeling "out of the game" right now. I had a really hard time with food while I was in Boston - quantity and choices both. I realized it's the first time I've been in an extended situation with people who have ZERO background with my weight issues and WLS, so none of them were "watching" or making any assumptions. Played with my head something fierce, and I found myself eating too many carby things and no****ching my portions as much as I need to. I also was REALLY tired (i think it was the first entire night's sleep I've had in months - due to eddie's snoring having gotten really bad) and my body just would NOT move in the morning to exercise. I found myself falling asleep at 9 pm and having a hard time getting out of bed at 7:30 for 8 AM conference sessions! (that's so not me!) So I only exercised once the whole time I was there (which sucks). I could also feel some of the compulsive overeater/addict behavior patterns creeping back in, which scared the daylights out of me. So I have a lot of work to do now to get myself back on track and my head back where it needs to be. I definitely think a pouch test is in order within the next week or so.
Sigh. Just when things look like they're getting "easier." That's why successING is such an important concept.
