Where's everyone at? Hopefully out enjoying some sun shine.
When's to Dr. Yesterday and have a colonoscopy scheduled for June. I know, TMI. But it's all part of the screening plan for the Lynch Syndrome stuff. I liked the doc and am doing my best to stay on top of the insides.
Hubby is headed back today so I'm going to try to finish up some things before he gets home. I had a pretty good balance of work, play and rest while he was out fishing.
217.8 this morning. Haven't done well on water so gotta concentrate on that today. I love that it's only Friday, so maybe I can get back on track before it's back to work.
Carma, just read the part about Zach and Honor Society! Nice job!
Kris, Hope you enjoyed the down time! How is the smoking going?
Hoping our weather is finally going to break this week. Has been 30's and raining/snowing/icing. Blech. Yesterday at least it was just rain but it never even got to 40. I will not live here when I retire. Screw that.
W 100
E Running, crunches and maybe some yard work if the weather cooperates
E OP
D The cure for anything is salt water. Sweat, tears or the sea.
Sorry I have been awol. We decided Monday that it was time to put our 15.5 yr old golden retriever down and I made an appointment for today. That way it would be done when the kids were on vacation so things will be not distracting at school.
So between reinjuring my knee at some point last weekend and therefore no exercise, TOM hitting, my FIL having his knee done, trying to visit him and battling depression over my fur child I managed to put on 9lbs by Friday. He went very peacefully and we spoiled him with his favorite food. Around every corner there are memories of him. I need to balance the memories and get rid of painful reminders.
I will try and do personals tomorrow.
Weed for tomorrow:
W: get 100 oz. I have struggled with that this week
E: walk an hour, do some housekeeping/ sorting out the basement.
E: record all food. Get all 5 colors.
D: So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I loved you best.

Carma- thinking about you. Sorry it's been such a rough week. it's not always easy to do what's best. My heart goes out to you. The lbs are temporary. You just rest and take a break for a minute.
Hi Mavie! Smoking is not good. Rescheduled quit to April 20. I have a crazy work week ahead of me and know myself well enough to know this is not the week to tackle it. 4/20 is stop for good. Hubby or no hubby.
Mindy- I so enjoyed your travel pics! I'm glad you had a nice adventure on your break!
Jen - I'd invite ya to California for retirement, but I'm blowing this Popsicle stand for Arizona or Oregon. Taxes here are unbelievable. Environmental laws are unbelievable, and I'm all about taking care of Mother Earth. Not to mention, were bout outta water. Full blown drown is kicking our butt, and water bill prices.
So crappy mother of youngest DSS refused to let him come home (her weekend) unless his homework was complete. It's was 90%. He finished this morning, about 9am. He called to come home and she said I'll get you later, I'm out of town now. It's 730 here. She just picked him up. It's a good thing my redneck mouth is under control because I would love to light her up. And you wonder why he's struggling at school. Ridiculous.
Gonna hit the jacuzzi and hit the sack. Plan to walk the dogs tomorrow. Get some work work done. Grocery shop for veggies to get back on track.
Carma. I have been there. Such a hard choice, but we owe it to them. I remember thinking when my Dad was dying, what a f**ked up world it is that we can help our fur babies along, but when our families are dying in agony, we can do nothing.
Kris, When you are ready. I'm here to support you any way I can. I adore you, today I'd like to have one with you.
Rough day, my Dad's sister died today, 7 months after my Dad. More cancer. God, it sucks. Such a crappy disease.
Sorry to be Debbie downer today ladies, just a rough rough day.
Kris~My nephew is the smart lazy type of kid. My sister ended up putting him in an online school, where he checks into the school once a week. He is doing so much better!
I had a great weekend! Walked 5 miles on Saturday and 4 miles on Sunday. Spent some amazing time with my family, and exposed Tommy to chemistry!!!
I'm working today to make up for not working Last weekend.
Mavis: sorry about your aunt. Thank you for the sympathy on my Luke. It's so amazing to me how I can be strong under stress but loss of any kind makes me lazy and eating every comfort food.
Mindy: hope it settles down.
Jeni: glad your weekend was fabulous. It's nice getting a fulfilling weekend in once in a while. How did tommy like chemistry?
Kris: your husbands ex seems like a prize. Fingers crossed for smoking support.
So I failed on all accounts Sunday. However today was a new day

Well coming back to work was all that I expected. Rotten kids, rude and disrespectful. Two hour staff meeting all about our standardized test fiasco that is starting. Trying to get paperwork in for my upcoming leave of absence. Yep. Fun, fun. I so wish I could retire tomorrow.
So day two of vacay and TOM strikes, after 64 days. One last hurrah I guess. Weight stayed down the whole week. I was 177.2 when we got back. I walked Monday night, 3 miles. Got a call (on vacay) that two people wanted to see my house. Told them they would have to wait. Last night we cleaned and one person is coming today at 1:00. What a hassle. My hubby is going to try and deal with the dogs but oh well. If they are here and barking, so be it. I have just lost the will to give two sh**s.
No workout at all yesterday, school stress and I gain two pounds. Welcome back to the real world.

My weight hasn't changed over the past 4 weeks. I think it is time to switch my meds. I am going to call and get an appointment but it wont be for a very long time (it takes 3 months to get in for an appointment) but I will continue to stay committed to myself, workout and eat right.
