Ruth, your day sounds lovely! <happy sigh> Hope things continue to be peaceful.
: Love your description of Lucy.
I can totally see my dog looking like that! I gave her a green bean last night (it fell on the floor), and she kept picking it up and walking around, looking like this:
then dropping it and trying to pick it back up. Finally she looked at me like, "What the
is this thing?"
Kiko,
you're cracking
me up! You sounds like you're reporting in to "mein commandant, sir!"
I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day!
Ah,
LC, you're having a hard summer! I am so glad that you came and posted anyway, hon!
I'm glad your sense of humor is still intact! I SO know that feeling...that's why my bathroom is still not scrubbed, the bunnies are living with fur-dust-bunnies bigger than them, and the living room smells like wet dog!
I say we both move to Ruth's for a month. Ruth, care to run a sanitorium for overworked women?
LC, maybe you and I can take over Sarah's job in return for room and board?
Heidi, you are ALWAYS welcome! And welcome to any lurkers who haven't posted...please feel free! And don't feel like you
have to write back to everyone...then this thread will be longer than even
I can make it!
We love having new people in the daily!
I love your plans, Heidi...keeping your hands busy means you aren't eating off plan...and that's a good thing! I spent last night working on the binding of my baby quilt, and that kept me from snacking last night.
Mama, I'm SO glad that you finally got a good day at work! You overworked phlebos deserve major breaks! If I was around, I would be bringing you SBD-friendly treats!
Your walks in the park and the upcoming weather both sound lovely! <happy sigh> Enjoy them! Our pup is finally starting to feel secure around other dogs. She wants to check them out! Big change from how she was when we got her! Good going on finishing that cap! Sounds gorgeous! I'd love to see pics...hint, hint!
Yaya, welcome!
: Sounds like a great mini goal! What is a motorcycle toy run? And with what will you reward yourself for reaching your goal?
Jodi, that's a lot of stuff to keep track of!
Hope everything falls into place, and glad that your routines are coming back to you. Fall is such a nice time, isn't it?
Sheila, sounds like your guests are in for a wonderful weekend!
: I feel you on cleaning...a bigger house means MORE cleaning!
Enjoy your time with your guests! When do they arrive?
Me:
Well, yesterday I did a tough workout with weights all morning. Then I read a bunch in the Ladies Who Lift forum, and got inspired. Last night I didn't have a therapy appt. (my forgetfulness...the one with DH is on 9/8, not yesterday), so I decided to do the basic dance video from my Belly Dancing collection. WOW! It was a lot of fun, and not really a workout, persay, but tough, nonetheless. And this morning, my thighs are killing me!!! Ow! Ow!
I'm just hoping they'll be back in shape for Jazzercise!
The students come this Thursday and Sunday, and school starts next week. I work at a college, so this is a crazy-busy time of year.
I start classes next week too...I'm a grad. student. Anyways, last night was a nice, relaxing evening...one of the kind I'm unlikely to have until next summer!
I made dinner with DH (we rarely work together in the kitchen) and we had a great meal (Thai Steak Salad Wraps from the August Cooking Light), then cleaned up, I made the Lemon Basil Bean Bowl (recipe in forums) for the week, did my bellydancing, then watced the "Last Comic Standing" show for an hour while working on the binding of my baby quilt. I only have one side left and it will be done!
Wow, yesterday I was really craving carbs! I made this awesome dinner on Sunday and I really wanted a piece of it! It was a calzone made of WW pizza dough full of spinach, feta, pine nuts, and golden raisins. Yummmm!
It was a hard day. I had to convince myself that I really wanted the club salad I had planned for lunch. I was trying to make deals with myself all morning...I could eat dinner without the wrap if only I could have the calzone in the fridge...
I hate when I get whiney that way!
I ended up going to lunch at 1:15 instead of my normal 12:00 because I was afraid I'd eat the wrong stuff! Thankfully, I resisted, and the scale was down a little today. TOM isn't over yet, so I'm hoping this is "a foretaste of the feast to come!"
Today I'm going to meet Sarah (AdiaFaith) for lunch, as she works nearby. That should be fun! Meeting other 3FCers is great...so nice to have people IRL who understand this journey we are all on!
Have a great day everyone!
