Ruth, I am so excited that this is C-day for you!
I can't wait to hear how amazing you feel!!! Don't go jumping around too soon, though, okay? Make sure you know what you can handle before you plant the entire town of Delta in an hour.
Have a lovely visit with Harry. I hope you get a chance to talk with the doctor. How's he doing? One of our neighbors in my old town make their lawn out of pachysandra. Worked great and was green all year round!
Aileen, we miss you too!
Tell DH that you deserve some computer time too. He needs to rest his eyes a bit anyway. You could always offer him some morning 'activity'
and then he'll fall asleep for at least long enough for you to check in... (ooh, I'm bad!
)
Jenn, congrats on the weigh-in!!! 195.8 is great!
I hope JoJo and MeMe get to like each other better soon!
Barb, have fun at the animal shelter! Shih Tzus are great dogs...we had one for most of my early life and she was fantastic.
The birdhouse sounds fun! Hope your dental work is fast and painless!
GoFishin, good going on P1!!!
Hope you stay cool today...turning off power in that kind of weather is dangerous!
BB, enjoy the visit with the grandkids...a ferry ride, even an early one, sounds delicious!!! What a way to travel... With the BBQs, just plan ahead, bring food that you can eat as your contribution to the BBQ, and stick to your plan. You can do it!
Anchor, I love broccoli cooked in the micro and a bunch of fresh lemon juice squeezed on top. It's really good!!! What about salsa...does it have too many calories? Herbs can have a huge effect on your body...sometimes not a good one. Make sure you check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking herbs...they can have strong reactions with other drugs. Glad you have more energy and figured out why!
Bamie, how's your knee doing? Love your breakfast plans...sounds so yummy!!!
Love, if a week of fruit didn't produce results, I'd try something different next week and see what happens. In the book, there were a few people who said they couldn't tolerate fruit and still lose. I'd figure that some fruits might work better than others, but you'd have to experiment. Try grains next week and see what happens, okay? You'll figure it out...it just takes time.
Jenn, picking colors is such fun!
Both my DH and I love blue, so it would have been a natural color for our wedding. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to work it with the groomsmen's tuxes. Black and blue?
Just didn't sound like a good combo. We ended up going with purple and sage green.
You'll figure out what works for you.
Try to go to the gym at a time that you know will work for you on most days. If that's after work rather than the morning, aim for that. If you pick a time that you know will be tough to accomplish, like the morning when you regularly wake up late (like me), you'll find yourself constantly frustrated with your lack of initiative when really you just set yourself up to fail. Know what I mean?
Me:
Oy, I'm all out of sorts! I worked so hard for so long that I just want to relax, but there's so much stuff going on, so I keep staying up all night playing on the computer and such.
We're talking 2 and 3 in the morning, and I need to get up by 6 the next day.
I need a vacation...
Tonight I'm going to bed by 11. That's just how it has to be.
Didn't get to the gym yesterday because I overslept.
Not fun. All week I'm cleaning the house after work because we have a party this weekend. If I can finish early I'll try to go to Jazzercise on Thursday. Otherwise my cleaning efforts will have to count as exercise.
It's nice outside...but we had a huge storm yesterday!!! It was the scary kind where it looks like a tornado is coming. One did hit south of us in PA. Scary!
I don't do tornados. Give me an earthquake and I'm fine, but tornados???
Have a great day, chickies...hope it stays nice and calm in your neck of the woods!
