Good Morning Ladies,
Hope everyone had a good weekend. I'm not sure if any of you are soccer fans, but it was good to see the US beat Spain this weekend.

I've swam for the past 3 days - and I'm feeling a lot better than I had been.

It's still rainy up here in Maine - I miss the sun.

Have a good day!

Marbear--good job on the swimming. It's amazing how fast exercise can make us feel better, isn't it? That's why it makes no sense to me why I ever go very long without doing it.

Purefire--welcome to our group! I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you along your journey. I had also lost all my weight and gained back even more. You are not alone.

I worked early today and came home and took a nap. That pretty much took up the whole day. Time sure flies by. My eating was good today but I didn't fit in my workout. My time management isn't what it should be but my efforts are putting me in much better shape than if I did nothing. I'm grateful for that.

We went to the store tonight and bought blueberries, strawberries, red and yellow rasberries, and blackberries. Yummy.

I could live on berries (if I was rich that is!) They are so expensive. Can't wait to put them on cereal in the morning.

Leenie-The french pedi is a good idea. I've never done that. Of course I've only had a couple pedi's in my whole life.

Good morning ladies! It's still rainy. Boo. The weather isn’t helping my mood, or the little saplings I have sitting in my office window. They want sun!!

No matter how much I shower, I still smell like chlorine - so when I walk out in the rain and get wet I smell like I just got out of the pool. Ha, Oh well

.

Lennie - Have fun with the pedi

. I've only ever had one, and it went very poorly. I'm uncontrollably ticklish on my feet

the lady got really mad when I couldn't sit still and kept laughing uncontrollably.

Hope- Berries are delicious, though terribly expensive. I’ve resorted to frozen blueberries for breakfast. Not quite the same, but still good (and still kind of expensive. Oof.)

Happy Tuesday. (aka: One day closer to Friday)

Can't stay and chat... work calls

Have a great day Ladies.

Morning!

Hope - I am so confused by the berries, but maybe I have no perspective... I pay $2.99/pint and measure out a half cup onto my oatmeal each morning, so it works out to about .75cants a day... is that a lot?? I am so unsure... I don't even know where my berries come from - probably up from the states! Do you pay a lot more for blueberries?

Anyway, just plodding along here, getting ready for Thursday. A bit anxious now - I hope I'm doing the right thing!! Bit worried I'll end up on one of those 'Worst Plastic Surgery' websites - !!!

Purefire - you will find lots of support here - glad to have you with us!

How are all our other chickies??

Hi ladies,

Long day at work. I was busy, but not really in a good way. I'm just glad to be home. I'm off tomorrow but I have pool tomorrow night. I don't have any plans except housework I guess and hopefully working out.

Heather, I guess berries are cheaper at this time of year than usual but I still feel like they are a costly 'garnish' or an add on. If you eat an apple or banana it kinda fills you up, berries are more of just a treat but not filling. We spent over $20 on them yesterday and $20 could buy a couple of meals instead. I don't know. My pint of blueberries were on sale for $4 but can be $5 for 1/2 pint in the off season. I guess I think of them as a luxury but I do buy them more than anyone I know. It's all perspective I guess.

Do you have to do any prep tomorrow or fast or anything to get ready for surgery?

Buddly, Amarie, Sassy- what's going on?

Jelly-I was wondering how Transformers was. I want to see it.

Leenie · 07-01-2009, 08:41 AM

Thanks girls!

I have to fast from the evening, but that's about it -I started meds yesterday for bruising and swelling... weird to take them ahead!

I'm nervous, but I'll be home tomorrow night and will post as soon as I can! Hoping I'm as ready as I'll ever be!!

Talk soon - and yes, I'll take lots of pics!!

I can't believe that its July 1st already.

Heather ~ Good Luck

Today is such a crappy day out. Its pouring and thundering out.

But it's nice to listen to.

I did go for an hour walk this morning. It was lightly raining and I looked like a drowned rat when I was done.

I'm not overly happy that I ended up gaining weight. Its Only 1.6 lbs but I knew I would last night. I had a few things that I shouldn't have yesterday, but I'm back on track today. Having a cheat day here and there isn't a bad thing.

I have a bunch of cleaning to do for the afternoon. My room looks like someone dropped a bomb in it. It was clean yesterday.

Have a good day ladies.

Purefire =^.~=

hope4me · 07-01-2009, 04:20 PM

Good Luck Heather!!!

buddly · 07-01-2009, 11:44 PM

Good Luck Heather!!

Canada Day here, we didn't do anything special most of us had to work. We thought of having a hot dog roast but the bugs are to bad out there. We've been having a fair amount of wet cool weather and the bugs love that.
DdC leaves tomorrow morning to fly to Calgary for judo nationals. This is her first time flying and she's more than a little nervous especially since none of us can go with her.
Anyway just trucking along here wondering where summer is.

Take care everyone,
K
