Good morning to all
I am one
woman today! My dear best friend called me last night at 11:30. She knew I was home alone and that I don't sleep much. We were on the phone til 2:45 this morning!! She is such a sweetheart! She has to work today, too. I kept telling her that I was fine, that I didn't want to keep her up all night. We were like 2 teenage girls giggling the night away. She is in CA and I haven't seen her in ages, so it was a nice talk we had. We really had a chance to catch up. Her 2 kids were long in bed by then. By the way, her little boy's name is Evan, too, Peek.
Missy: How is that sore throat this morning? Did you try Faye's recipe? LOL!!! You know what, my best friend's hubby does the same thing with the vinegar. In fact, the minute he starts to feel sick with ANYTHING, he does that. And, he make his 2 sons do the same. It works for them. At any rate, I hope you are feeling better. Did you just have the sore throat or anything else going on? The sore throat can go hand in hand with the thyroid thing as well. Hope you can find out about that soon!
Faye:
about all the stuff your hubby used to bring home to you!! But, hey, you scored with the chocolates
We have a Lindsor chocolate truffle outlet not too far from here, but I have only been there once. I like the raspberry ones. Yummy.
Lori: Haven't "met" you yet, here. Have I been missing your posts??
I share your love of the Girl Scout's thin mints. It is very dangerous to have those around in my house!!
I have a candy recipe that I discovered where you mix crushed oreo cookies, chocolate chips, rice krispies and mint extract that actually tastes just like the cookies--even better. I make it every year at Christmas and that is my "thin mint" fix.
yummy!!!
Where are you from, Lori? Are you on any plan like WW, or just doing your own thing--like me? Good to have you here
Deon:
The graduation sounds interesting,
I am glad that you made it through the day without pulling your hair out! Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
I am praying that your husband is feeling better in no time and can get back to work. I understand his fear of losing his job. It has to be pretty stressful for him right now
:
Sounds like you are determined not to gain back that weight!! It can happen so easily, unfortunately!! Stay strong
Gigglez: Wow, you sure have had some tough times. Good for you for having the courage to leave that first abusive relationship! You put your son first and that is great!! I agree. If he can hit you, what is to stop him from hitting your child. And even if he didn't it isn't the sort of environment you want to raise a child in. AND you deserve better. Hang in there, Sandy. We are all sending lots of
: your way
Peek: Peekaboo, the bus driver saw you.....in your jammies,
I am glad for you that it was a female, too!! I would have been mortified!
WAHOO on your 4.5 lb. weight loss!!
You guys are doing great!! Big pat on the back for you, Peek
Keep up the excellent work!!
I guess my target for today is to just keep from bingeing as I am quite tired. I am moving like a
today. I haven't worked out yet. I am not sure I have the energy to get a workout in. At least not my step aerobics which is quite intense. I might opt for a nice gentle walk instead!
I have been meaning to ask you all.....do you guys have pedometers?? I got one and I think it is an EXCELLENT way to gauge how much you are moving throughout the day!! You are supposed to get in at least 10,000 steps per day. Is this something you gals are interested in doing? Then we could get some goals going that include getting a certain amount of steps in per day. Just a thought. Mine was $25 at Olympia Sports in the mall. I know that seems like alot, but I figure my health is worth it!
It is beautiful and sunny today. Highs should be low 80's. I will TRY to get some work done outdoors today. I am sure I will get some more energy as the day goes on. I better get off this computer if I expect to accomplish ANYTHING today!
Have a great day peeps
You are all doing amazingly well!!!
Hugs!
