Roll Call Friday 12/7

[ShiningStarr]

Happy Friday everyone!

I thought I would start up the roll call today! I am doing great and feeling great! Yesterday I was in a bad mood most of the afternoon but amazingly just getting out of the house to shovel the walk way helped clear that up! I guess I just needed some fresh air and some quiet time. I am down another pound today and super pshyced about it!! It is 8'F here and these are the mornings I am glad I am a SAHM. I hate scrapping windows in the freezing cold!!

Well Have a great day everyone!!! Don't forget to drink you water!!

I feel lots better today, did a couple things so I'm not sure what worked, but worked it did.

8', cold. 20's here. I'm glad you are better, quiet time is always good.

Strength training and 45 min treadmill this morning. I added a supplement Calcuim with Vitamin D yesterday.

Have a great day everyone.

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

Good morning,all!

I woke up this morning in a nest of blankets being snuggled by dh. Ah, bliss. It's raining out and it was sooo nice to listen to!

Thank GOD it's Friday! Whew! For some reason, the week has seemed really llooooooooonnnggg to me. Because of the rain today and all of the incredibly hard work they've done the past 4 days, my students will be having a Friday movie afternoon. I made them cookies last night (nope, not tempted to even indulge in a bite) and we will have popcorn and hot chocolate (sugar-free), too.

I'm looking forward to a restful evening with dh (first night in the week he hasn't worked his second job) and sleeping late in the a.m., then starting to do some shopping.

Have a wonderful day, all! Keep on keeping on, and MORE!

Good Morning Stacers!

Thanks Starr for getting us started with a reminder to drink our H20. I'm feeling dehydrated today due to not getting my 96 oz yesterday.

Evermind I also woke up in a nest of blankets but with my cats! DH had left for work.

I'm so grateful that it is Friday as it has been a brutal week. I'm so tired that functioning is difficult. Today is totally my day for rest, relaxing & rejuvination. I do have a few errand that need to be done. I finally have the time to get the knee brace the ortho doc prescribed a week ago. Need to get some groceries & may even get a few Xmas projects. It's all about doing what I want to today.

Have a fantastic day everyone!

Good Morning All

Actually on the mild temperature today here in Ol' Canada!! Finally went to the Dr's yesterday.. I have a sinus infection and an ear infection.... prescribed antibotics.. 2 doses in and I already feel sooooo much better. I still have a HUGE aversion to food. I am forcing at least something in.

I hope you all have a great day!! Fridays are the best!!

Take care of you.........

Mild temperature? I still find Toronto too cold... Been here 4 years, and dread winter more and more with each passing year...

Must be TOM being here... Feeling all down, and negative... Can't wait for TOM to just be gone...

Will be going to the gym today... Maybe sweat the negativity out...

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

Good Morning everyone! The temp here this morning was 8 degrees brrrrr I hate when I breathe in and the nose hairs freeze!

I don't have a lot planned today just trying to get my Christmas Cards written and out in the mail. Other then that it's a fairly boring day for me. The big Kids are off to school and the two youngest are watching Nick right now which is a wonderful quiet time for mommy! My daughter Courtney has a doc appointment this afternoon which will tell us if she is showing any signs of a pending delivery! My grand daughter is due Christmas day and we are hoping she will surface a bit early! LOL

My weight remains consistantly stuck! UGH. I got a new excercise routine from a friend last night just to mix things up a bit. It's called the FIRM has anyone done it? I did the first work out last night and it was ok .......... it didn't knock my sox off but I need some variety. SO I am going to alternate it with my Elliptical. Time will tell.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

Hi Everyone.. Let me tell you... I need a nap...

Life is so crazy around here.. Wednesday my daughter cracked her knuckles and her finger was swollen..so I said..lets see if gets better.. Wednesday night she broke out in hives.. I gave her a benadryl... Thursday morning she was okay..sent her to school... Then She calls me around 11..and her hands are swollen and she is itching like crazy.. So I pick her up and take her to Urgent Care.. They said she was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic she was on for her toe infection... So they gave her Steriods and Zyrtec .. So last night we were okay.. This morning..she gets up and she is bawling with pain all over pain in her body..and she was having issues breathing.. So I took her to the Emergency room..and they feel she is reacting to the Steroids.. Her throat looked okay and wasn't swelling... SO...that being said.. we are to take her off ALL medicines.. she is detoxing... If she gets really itchy..to give her a benadryl.. So I am praying that I don't have to make another emergency trip this afternoon or tomorrow..

That being all said..You will be proud of me.. I didn't have time to fix or take breakfast with me.. So after they made sure she was okay and not in a life or death situation.. I left her in the room with my husband and I went to the cafeteria and had eggs, bacon and sausage for breakfast... Then after we left the hospital we went to KFC and I had Chicken...no skin and green beans... I am proud of me for making it through this..

On another good note.. I am at MY ticker weight this morning Not its downward we go... WOO HOOO

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

Good Morning!
I am in a bad mood... I asked my dh to wake me up... and he said 'sure, we'll have coffee together...' and then when I woke up the clock said 8:30... so I missed walking with my friends... they leave at 8!!! grrr! sorta out of sorts now... plus I'm hurting all over and thinking... 'am I becoming a weather predictor?' with the rain... I notice, I always hurt when it rains...

Also, scale says I'm 175... grrr!!!

So, going to go walk by myself again... well, with my dog. And drink more water, I don't think I have been drinking enough lately.

Then I'll be driving to LA to get my dd from the airport... and driving home... in the rain. As much as I can't wait to see her, I'm dreading the drive, especially on a Friday.

Okay, gonna take my little rain cloud out for some exersize.

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

It's bitterly cold here today (minus 35 C)....this means I will staying close to home this weekend! I am also hoping to see the scale drop. I have been at 191.5 for three days now and based on my pattern I am due for a loss. Here's hoping we all see losses this weekend!

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

Its no longer morning, but I'm here! Thats what counts right? I was in a bad mood all week. I don't like the cold either. However, I finished my Christmas shopping this morning so I have something to be very happy about. Now I just need to finish wrapping all that stuff.

Re: Roll Call Friday 12/7

Hello All,

Well... since we're sharing weather news, I live in Vancouver, Canada and it's a chilly morning... for all my Stacer buddies that use fahrenheit to measure the temperature = 32F, or Zero Celsius. BUT... the sky is a bright blue and the sun is shining, which makes the already million dollar view from my office window worth several more million! Here's a photo taken on a cloudy day... so just imagine a little more snow on the mountains and blue, blue sky! I live in a very beautiful city and it makes me feel terrific to look out my window, regardless of the weather!! Granted... it can make getting any work done difficult



Well... two Christmas parties yesterday... and I survived! Yes, I believe I ate a little too much, but as far as I know everything was legal. Yippie! I have two more parties to attend - both lunch affairs - but I'm confident I can stay on plan.

Coming on one full week back on induction and going strong.

Hopejoy - I'm sure you'll feel much better after you get your exercise. I've driven many times in LA traffic... I don't envy you your drive! BUT... how great will it be to see your daughter! Good for you!!

Sandy - What a shame about your daughter's medicine reactions! Sounds like she's in good hands with you and your husband, though. And congrats on making it to your mini-goal weight!

I'm hearing a lot from everyone in today's posts about starting Christmas cards and projects... yikes!! Because of our renovations, my house is a disaster area. I purchased cards but don't know if I'll find the time or space to do them. And I'd love to make cookies and jam for gifts. Well, that's just not going to happen this year with my kitchen torn apart! Okay... I challenge myself = to get my Christmas cards done this weekend!! I hope I can find my address book (probably hidden away in a box in the basement) Wish me luck!!

Keep at it, everyone... and happy Friday!
Vickie
