Alright ladies and gents...its
HUMP day. Friday is almost here.
boatingmommy ~ Don't ya just love it when the kiddos get involved? My middle son has been walking with me and we just ramble on. Its nice to have that one on one.
Jacqui ~ Well isn't that a pickle..eh? I do try not to take any anti-inflammatory if I can. But sometimes, there is no way around it. Perhaps on those day, extra water might be in order? Perhaps that might help a bit.
kelijpa ~
Looks like that downward trend is getting you real close to goal. Awesome!!
hepzibah ~ Great job on the drop.
LovelyLeah ~ Not having enough time to make a meal is our biggest problem here. Take-out is just sooo easy and we can use that time to do other things as opposed to making dinner. I know people say plan ahead but for the life of me, I just can't for any extended period of time. Grrr. Hopefully your day picked up for you and good choices were abound.
magistra17 ~
to the challenge thread and
on that loss. You are well on your way to seeing the 180s soon.
VickieLou ~
for getting back on-plan. It can be hard, so be proud you did. Keep up that groovy work.
iDream ~ Soooo, a baby fix..eh?
I keep saying that. Of course, I politely asked the doctor to break my babymaker and he did, so no mas babies for me. But man, I see a wee one and I almost just break out in tears. I miss those days with the boys, you know, before they could speak
(Just kidding.) In any case, hope you had fun with the nephew. And yeah, the after-TOM-whoosh has bit the dust for me as well. The older I get the worse it has become, TOM that is. I was talking to my doctor about it and was even thinking taking a more invasive approach to correcting Eves burden on me.
In any case, your loss has been steady. You have come a long way and you are doing marvelous darling.
dangerouscurves76 ~
on the loss. And oh nooooo, no allergy meds to? My dermatologist has me on Allegra daily and some topical cream for a stupid rash on my arm and I had no clue that would be detrimental to my weight loss as well. Guess I'm gonna have to go google that one as well. Thanks for the heads up.
gardenerjoy ~ What a revelation. I had to ponder that one as well. I think I really do that while I'm losing weight this time around. Just what can I get away with? What can I sacrifice? Definitely some food for thought. Awesome that you saw the light. Hope it works well for you.

Well, oh my goodness what a day for me yesterday. Just busy, busy. Flat tire which was full of awesome. Furniture guys finally brought our "replacement" furniture we ordered like 10 years ago. Just an FYI, if you buy furniture, GET THE INSURANCE. We have on everything we buy and it is totally worth it. After 1 years use of our dining room table/chairs there were so many scratches in the wood etc.. that when they came out to see it they were just like yeah, you can just switch it out, its not worth fixing. So basically with insurance which I think was a little over 100 bucks, we get a brand new dining set and the only out of pocket cost was us adding a new insurance policy. I digress. So anyway, the guys come over "oooh and ahhh" and knock my stuff off my desk etc etc.. Good times. Finished all my work, clocked out and got to work on the yard. Then dinner for the boys and video games for me and that was all she wrote. Bing bang boom! I really hope today is less eventful. Its supposed to be in the upper 90s today, so perhaps a nice walk after work will be on the agenda.
And in other news and probably more relevant to the challenge...I'm down another pound. So, yeah, thats great. Its probably because I spent so much time yesterday picking up stuff the furniture people knocked over at my house.
Okay, I've rambled on incessantly. Sorry. You cool folks have a lovely day and don't forget your SMILES!!!!

And yeah, I try to avoid the meds if I can. If I have to, I'll break down and take them. For my allergies, I try to stick to a low dose saline solution nasal spray though. My main issue as far as allergies is nasal congestion. Sometimes I just can't breathe through my nose! The nasal spray seems to work as well as anything else for me.
Thanks for the info ladies on the ibuprofen and water retention. I take a ibuprofen p.m. every now and then, and didn't have any idea about the side effects. 
Gone forever are the days of pregnancy and nursing (and late night changes/feedings/wakings...). I do miss it terribly, that first year is my favorite...sigh...I too wish to remove the burden of TOM permanently from my life. Alas, I can't really justify it. I don't have any major issues other than it is a pita to deal with every month. Still...I would love to get an ablasion perhaps and just call it done. lol Furniture insurance? I have never heard of such a thing! We could certainly have used that about million times over! Lastly, a giant 
Oh well...summer is unavoidable, so I'll just suck it up and stay in the shade or inside. Have a great day ladies!! Stay cool out there and keep up the amazing work!!!! Oh yeah, and DRINK YOUR WATER!!!
