Makenna has fifths disease. So yes, the headache is related to the hives. The doc thinks the headache and rash will be gone by friday. She isn't contagious which is good.

WOW!! Nobody posting much today. I just finished 3 miles of intervals. It is harder to do outside vs. on a treadmill. Felt like I was in a sauna the whole time. I beat the thunderstorm though. I also had a surprise Monday. It was not mid cycle fun but full blown TOM....11 days early. WTH???

jeni.. my mom got a tread mill that i am using too. i tried it yesterday and it wasnt so bad. my brother was trying to kill me with an incline of 10 and speed of 6. for my first time i did fairly well. im gonna try again 2day.

Hi everybody,

I got back from my mom's monday evening but have been busy and exhausted from the trip. I did a lot of gardening and yard mowing while I was there.

MamaP- that was a beautiful cake. When did you say you had to make the next one? If it was today how did it go?

KimL-Great attitude, just get back on the horse tomorrow and a week from now you won't even remember the pasta.

jcatron-sounds like you have your hands full with the kids. How are they doing? I'm sure once things settle down you can begin your new workout plan.

mtiger and TIARA- great job on the workouts!

emiloots- It's hot here too. Tomorrow is supposed to be 100 degrees but feel like 104. Can't wait.

W: drank some
E: 45 minute ellipticle
E: 1146 calories
D: get a workout in before work and try not to dread work after 6 days off

Yaya its Thriday!! My last day of work until tuesday, maybe, I have jury duty tuesday.

The weather was so beautiful the last two days, I really wanted to go outside for a walk, but no time. I hope its nice tonight.

I cant wait to workout!

Mindy~ my cycle has been freaky too. anywhere from 20-29 day cycles.

Tiara~thats a crazy workout. I usually top out at 6 or 7 incline but I run 5mph when I do inclines.

Kim~we all give into temptations. They are all over the place, we just have to learn how not to make it into a frenzy when we do.

Hope~glad you are back.

W 64 oz
E walk after work if its nice
E less than 1500
D make it through.

Thursday . . . finally. Now to just get to Friday. I might bake the top two tiers of the cake tonight (but not sure). I'm still hoping I will get off work early tomorrow ~ otherwise I will be up all night long tomorrow night baking and have to have that cake done and at the reception hall by 2:00 pm on Saturday. I got all the pieces to the cake stand washed and ready to go, the cake pans washed and ready to go and have all my supplies gathered for my baking (have to go bake at someone else's house because my oven is 46 years old (original to when the house was built) and it sucks for baking.

Jeni - I hope your daughter is feeling better.

KimL ~ Thanks. Hang in there (I'm not sure I could resist pasta right now - I haven't had it in months.)

Hope4me ~ Thanks. Hoping this cake is just as pretty.

mtiger ~ Great job on the workout, especially in the heat.

Tiara ~ congrats on the treadmill workout. I got rid of my treadmill because it just bored me and I never really used it (but then again - I don't seem to consistently use any of the equipment I have).

Mindy - when I'm off birth control my cycle is all wonky. Mother nature sure likes to play her little tricks on us

Tiara - enjoy the treadmill, I always found it easier to run on the treadmill than outside, harder to make excuses too b/c there's no 'bad' weather in the house

Kim - stick with it, WW can be tough (I always found myself out of points and eating 0 pts soup for dinner!)

Jeni - hope you find some time to yourself to take that walk!

hope4me - scorcher again today, and it's only mid-june! Thank goodness for central air

MamaP - hope your cake comes together, the cake you did for your daughter's wedding was beautiful

Nothing much here, going to see a viewing of FRESH tonight (it's about sustainable agriculture and changing the way we think about food) can't wait. Tomorrow we're going to a Phish concert in NJ while my in-laws watch the kids so it should be a good start to the weekend. Food today has been good so gotta keep it that way.

Done with my long work week. Yay! It was a very interesting day. Our normal group of 17 was down to 9. I actually got to try my hand at running the show for about 4 hours (when we were at our shortest on personel) It was actually good, but I am a control freak.

No walk tonight, but I did make quite a few extra laps around the plant today figuring things out. Its my last night of quiet befor the crazy days of summer start. (meaning swimming morning and night M_F)

I cant wait till DH gets home. A glass of wine is in my future.
