Good morning everyone. It seems that spring is in the air. Everyone is up and at it early and soooo cheerful. I love to hear the happiness coming through the postings.
Lady - Thanks so much for the inspirational thoughts. I have been down the past few months and feeling somewhat overwhelmed and stressed out, trying to keep a positive spin on the obstacles in my life. It is good to be reminded to look at all things positively. It's so much easier to manage that way. Thanks.
lc - You just keep that snow at your end of the country. We have finally gotten rid of the snow here and we don't want it back. Hope your day is good, especially if you can cuddle up in a blanket in front of the fire.
AdiaFaith - I'm glad to hear that your auction went well...and I wasn't even there to do my part.
Sorry to hear that the number of bidders was not that good, though. But just think, it would have been worse if it had been a garage sale. Good that you had a day to wind down, too. I am looking forward to the end of the month when I can take a couple of weeks and do nothing but lounge around. Take care.
tar675 - Good morning. Have a great day today.
Bamiegurl - Is the yellow powder on your vehicle pollen? I can't imagine that there would be that much pollen around...we don't get that here. About the most we get is mud, dust and salt from the roads at this time of year. Hope that ends soon and that you aren't having to wash your car so much.
Ruth - Have a great time with your brother...and not too much of that water.
Rayneysmom - Mornin'. Good luck on getting the project done. Talk later.
twiceblessedmom - I know how demoralizing it can be to find out that your scale is out 9 pounds. But remember that when you are calculating your total weight loss, the old scale would have registered 9 pounds heavier than the new one, so calculate that in to the total weight loss, also. Hope that helps the numbers a bit...
2BFIT1 - Sounds like you have done a lot of work on renovations. Don't worry about the look from DH - you get that the first time that you mention the new project, but keep at it. You will eventually get it done and he will even think that it was his idea.
rochelle - Take care of yourself, girl. You poor thing. Hope you are starting to feel better. And you are right, you need to take things slowly until you are feeling better.
Laurie - Good luck on the paper. Sending you wishes to get it done on time.
The IT guys came to work on my computer, so had to go for a minute to let them fix some bugs, but I'm back to finish...
anchor weight - Glad that you are feeling better, but do keep the stress from work under control. I think you are smart to do a pure Phase 1. I always find that, when I try to short cut the eating program with prepackaged and instant foods, I just sabotage the work that I do. Keep up the good work.
adaja - OK girl...here's the lecture.
You are so close to goal, you don't want to jeopardize what you have already accomplished. Stay with it just a few more weeks and you will be there. By the way, I sometimes spend a couple of hours on the weekends making ww, sf pizza crust dough and freeze them in balls. Then, when I have the urge to eat pizza, I can make my own, know that it is SB friendly and enjoy without feeling like I have gone off program. I don't do that often, but when DH, or the rest of the family wants to eat pizza, it is a great alternative for their wishes, too.
Barb - WTG on the exercise. I know how hard it is to go when you really don't feel like going. I did the same yesterday...didn't feel like working out, but did manage 30 minutes of a stiff workout and another 30 of moderate workout. And you are right, I was glad that I did.
HottieInHiding - I love the mornings. It has always bothered me when I see people sleep the mornings away... I always figure that, if I get up in the morning, I get to enjoy the quiet of the day before the bustling starts and then get on with taking care of business. So glad that you are feeling better getting up and not having to rush to get your schedule fit in. Take care.
HunnyBee - It is amazing the sabotagers that come out of the closet when we announce that we are working towards a goal. I had a friend tell me a few years ago that she had announced to her family and friends that she was pursuing her Master's Degree. It was then that one of her friends started to come over for the evening when she knew she was studying, or working on projects. My friend actually quite the program at that time and did not resume the studies for a very long time afterwards. I realized then that, firstly, we should only share really important goals with the people that we know will be a support, and secondly, that the people who sabatage our goals can only do it with our permission. Remember to have a game plan for the times when people encourage you to take just a small piece, it won't hurt. Hmmmm.
Me - Well, it has certainly been a chaotic 2005 alright, and it just doesn't seem to be quitting. We took our 4 legged baby back to the vet this morning...he is doing knee surgery again. Poor baby. He took X-Rays yesterday and consulted with her orthopedic surgeon
about what to do. Fortunately, when the original surgery was done, the surgeon put 3 pins in her knee (where they normally put in 1) because she is a very active breed of dog. Only one pin has slipped, so the orthopidic surgeon has suggested that it just be removed. Hopefully, her recovery time will be less than what she experienced before. We had her at home last night and she cried and sobbed all night...no sleep in that house. I am just waiting for the vet to call now to see if she is OK.
Hope everything is going well for everyone. Have a great day and think positive thoughts. Take care.
Good morning from Day 2
