Mornin' all!
Cottage, best of luck to dear Maggie with her surgery. Are you stocking up on ice cream?
Loriann, I love blue and green for paint colors, but I hear you on it being "cold" sometimes. Perhaps you can ask the paint mixer at the store if they can "warm" it up a bit?
Good for you on relearning the plan--I need a refresher every now and then, too.
Janda, I envy you! It's raining instead of snowing here, but it's still in the 30s and the rain is fierce--so there's no "lamb" here.
Hope Boo doesn't scare the poor bunny!
Hope you feel much better very soon!
RNMOM!!!!!!! Oh, how I've missed you, hon!
Check out the sticky up above with the search for SBD success stories--I certainly consider you one!
Ruth, I saw some actual snow drops yesterday on our walk and thought of your avatar!
I can't believe all that snow...WOW!!! Guess 2008 will be one of those "down-in-history" years, either from the extremely early Easter (our RCIA director told us yesterday that it won't be that early again for over 200 years!!!) or from the crazy amount of snow we all got!
Oooh,
Cyndi, I love Maine--enjoy your trip there in May! Hope the short weeks are lots of fun!
Nessa, I'm so happy for you!
You are doing GREAT!!!
You should change your weights under your avatar, girlie!
Hope you can get some leave--it's awful to have used your vacation time for dealing with sickness--that's NO vacation!
Ack,
Cat, that's awful! Hope you can catch up without giving up caring for your health!
Fluffy, I hear you on how great Kara's attitude is and how hard it is for us to be that way.
I saw a woman on Oprah a few months ago who was sexually abused by her alcoholic dad and yet she was able to say that she was
GRATEFUL for
all the experiences in her life because they brought her to where she is now. Even Oprah was agog at that one. I keep thinking, "if
SHE could be grateful for her life, why can't YOU???"
But beating ourselves up is hardly going to get us to gratefulness, is it!
I think the thing for me, in terms of weightloss, was to stop bemoaning the fact that I had to eat differently in order to be healthy and happy. Focusing on my friends who can eat anything and stay thin and who LOVE to exercise (sick, sick individuals...
) wasn't making anything happen to me. But meeting women here on 3FC who are in the same situation I am but have figured out how to be happy about it made me feel so much more motivated to be like them. I know lots of members here who didn't like exercise before but have learned to like it. That gives me hope.
I hope it gives you hope too! I think one of the keys to a good P1 is to plan out all your meals, buy more good P1 stuff than you need, so you have NO chance of running out, and getting anything tempting out of the way (even if it's just for a couple weeks). Hope you can get through it--you know we're here for you!
Housework, by the way, DOES count as exercise--especially very vigorous stuff like vacuuming and scrubbing things!
Just for you, darling
Weezle:
Hi,
Gonna!
Glad you're feeling better,
TK! I have the same issue with my stomach--it seems to have gotten smaller lately. I didn't eat any snacks when I was gone this weekend and I was totally full at each meal.
Me:
Off to the gym today after work before going to dog obedience class tonight.
I'm hoping to plant my morning glory and sweet pea seeds tonight--I plant them in a planter outside with a trellis. They make such a pretty sight whenever I come home, so I hope I have enough time to grow them before spring comes, or they won't flower much before fall comes! We still haven't ordered the seeds for our garden, but we decided to sign up for a CSA program, so I'm not as stressed about it. I also managed to go through all the seed catalogs during our drive to and from this weekend so I feel ready for us to pick some stuff and order it.
Hope everyone has a great day!
