My kids loved the ball!! It is pretty strong!! I was more worried about my glass decor items, windows, lamps and what not getting broke then anything lol.
I agree.... taking things slow is a good idea. And I think I will do good that way with it.
Ok... now I gotta ask.... How old are you??? Not trying to be rude. But you talk like your getting to be old news already lol!! I was thinking you were my age if not younger! I am 32 but I feel like I am going on 50 sometimes and I always wish that I was a kid again lol.
lol your funny!! Oh your not being rude at all. Im 29 aint that sad? I really do feel old most of the time. One of my kids is very active. I just look at her and wish I could bottle that up and save it for needy times for me lol.
You had any plans for today? We went yesterday to a family reunion.. I didnt over indulge myself! Yeah! Then I had spent probably 2 hours talking to my sister in law about calorie counting and this place here thats helped out so much. I think I motivated her to jump back on the diet. Its amazing what alittle help can do for someone.
Awesome! Hopefully she chooses to get healthy again too! If she likes to read tell her to read the American Heart Associations No-Fad Diet book. It explains calorie counting and exercise and everything. I am really enjoying it, and there new cookbook too!
29!!!! I wish I could be 29 again lol. But I understand what your saying about kids and energy! Mine seem to have endless energy! Sometimes it gets on my last nerve lol.
I have to go grocery shopping today. I am all out of fruits, veggies, yogurts and more lol. I bought enough to get through the week. And today is shopping day. I try to walk the whole store (without shopping too) but my hubby and kids get tired of walking! But the kids have energy for everything else! Go figure! Lol.
Well I better get off of this thing llol. Have a good day!!!
I think she said she was on the atkins diet.. but she didnt like it. She mentioned something about only having 10% carbs. . She would rather just count the calories. Ill check out that no-fad diet. Then call her and give her the address. My moms a really big buyer with the heart association (cookbooks, ect). Ill have to ask her to borrow them.
Yeah I stopped at 28 years old. I quit counting. lol I hear that! My kids can do that too easily!
Hubby doesnt go shopping he hates it. So I usually take the girls with me. I love to walk in stores too. Its alot of fun. I usually only have problems with my youngest not wanting to walk in the stores.
I think Im going to do some activities today. I didnt do anything yesterday. So I gotta jump back on the band wagon and hit the trail.
Ok you girls are killing me!! 32 and 29 and you feel OLD ... Gimme a break I'm 48 I feel younger than ever and really have never felt old even when my kids were young and believe me I had an active boy who started walking at 8.5 months old, NO he didn't walk he RAN at that age... but because I always kept the gym and healthy eating up I NEVER EVER felt old... The big secret girls is: drum roll please......... Healthy unprocessed foods and exercise... So yes, get out there and exercise your little brains out and eat healthy!! You will not feel old at all, HONEST!!
hehe
Ilene, your great. You need to be our role model!!
From what fitday is saying Im only missing about 100 mg's of calcium. Everything else is on track.
Sept 19th, when I see my doctor. Im gonna request a nutrionist to get involved. Maybe once she/he can control my diet I will feel better. Because I know my activity level is pretty moderate. Right now Im just needing professional help with my diet (issues).
I watched that movie about eating out (restaurants) and how it made that guy feel. Gave him the shakes and everything. So I could understand how processed foods affect a person. Gave me the creeps.

I did Atkins (and SBD). It was not fun. Your sister will enjoy counting instead of limiting and restricting foods.
Kids count?? Yeah, everything but money hahahaha. :X
Yep, that was the movie. It was so awful. I dont take my family out to eat but maybe once a year after seeing that movie Weve never been big on going out to eat anyways. I feel much better eating right here at home
How did your shopping go, Tracy?? I did my food shopping couple days ago. I added a protein shake to my foods. Costed me 10.00 though! That was only for 13 days. I try to just use 1/2 of the servings to make it last me. lol Ok, Im cheap.

Make sure your shake doesn't have any sugar in it but enough protein, maybe 15-20g, and depending if you are using it as a meal replacement it should have some carbs but not too many about as much as the protein... But mainly watch the sugar, SlimFast and those types have a lot of sugar in them...What kind was it?
Naturade- Total soy meal replacement. I only use half a day so here is what the nutrition facts would say:
At 1 scoop:
75 calories
fat 0.5g
saturated 0
sodium 120mg
Carbs 11 g
sugar 9g
protein would only be 6.5 g
Wow, I never seen the sugar it wasnt in bold. lol This was in the kroger store. I dont eat much meat so even peanut butter and porkchop lean/ or chicken skinless wasnt getting what I needed.
Nothing wrong with being cheap! It is hard to do that anymore! I was looking at shakes, but they are beyond my budget now. I did get lots of fresh raw brocolli, fresh raw green beans, strawberries, grapes, and bananas. I tried to get peaches again but they were sold out. Oh, we got some gala apples too! We spent most of our time in produce and the meat department lol. It was awesome! I love NOT going in the inner isles anymore. I picked up some salmon for the first time. It was on sale!! Boy was I lucky because it is so expensive!! Someone told me it was but I didn't think it would be as much as I seen at the store! So we are going to try that. We also go lots of boneless skinless chicken breasts (they were on sale too) and some catfish was on sale too. I try to do all sale items as much as I can. But sometimes (most of the time) that is hard to do.
We had fun today. We walked around walgreens, walmart, and kroger today. I had to make sure I got the sales lol. Luckily these stores are in the same area so I saved on gas too. We walked for over 2 hours! Plus I did 1½ miles of WATP after dinner tonight. Yes.... I am tired lol.
That movie made me sick!! My MIL (who is a diabetic!) thought that movie was funny!!! I told her she was stupid! It should have scared her!! She is over 270 pounds I think (maybe more) and she eats out all of the time. It makes me sick!
Anyway, better get moving here. I am thinking about relaxing to some tv.
The list the FIRST ingredient as fructose and that is just another word for sugar, then they list soy protein, so this means that there is MORE sugar in this product than protein... They are tricky these manufacturers!! But don't despair, use it, I mean, we've ALL eaten worse stuff haven't we? I get my protein at GNC, it is more expensive but we don't have many big outlets around here. I use the whey protein powder because they say it is just a more complete protein than soy. Mine has per scoop 85 cals, 0 fat, 1g carb, 20g protein... I hope this helps...
Tracy -- Sounds like you had a wonderful day shopping!! Good for you for sticking to the perimeter of the store. I promise that in the long run, eating healthy, IS cheaper...
That SuperSizedMe movie grossed me right out, although I havent been to McD's in years and when I do go to fast foods I always order salads because my stomach can't handle the hamburgs I burp them for hours later, this is a side effect from eating healthy , when you eat unhealthy your stomach can't handle it...
When i go shopping for meats I pile high. lol Its weird though I can go to the krogers thats like 45 minutes away and there meat is cheaper then the one closer to me. It is hard to find good prices that fit budgets.
I dont do much fish. As a child we used to catch catfish out of the texas river there in texarcana. My mom would batter it up and YUMMY!! Best fish in the world. Though I did get tired of picking bones out.
I agree gas prices are just insane!! Hubbys car is high test which costs more. Im hoping he gets his truck fixed so we can save on expenses. Its about $2.99 here but was $3.19 four days ago.
My rodeo sadly 20.00 gives it a 1/2 tank.
Im glad you had fun being out and about. Its good to spend as much time as you can once you get into town.
Irene~ thank you so much for that information that really helps. My mom has a gnc discount card I might see how much it will cost me in the future.
Im gonna hit the sack too.
I really do feel old most of the time. 
One of my kids is very active. I just look at her and wish I could bottle that up and save it for needy times for me lol. 
... Gimme a break 
he didn't walk he RAN at that age... but because I always kept the gym and healthy eating up I NEVER EVER felt old... The big secret girls is: drum roll please.........
