The silence is bliss this morning ! School started this morning so I am enjoying the peacefull house. The only downside is being soooo tired from waking up early. Never did get caught up on the house work so that's my mission today.
I am improved but not back to normal.....still can only tolerate a very bland diet.......havne't had coffee in a week. NO fruit, veggies...just ginger ale, arrowroots ,toast, banana's,soup (not tomato based), crackers etc.
Off to work.....almost holiday time here.....I work a bit on thurday and then I am off unitl aug 30th. School starts here on the 30th. Gonna have a great time with the girls until then.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEENIE! Thought of you on Monday while we were at the zoo. Seriously, I did, but not because of the monkeys or anything.
We have had major issues with the computer. I had to reregister everywhere and, alas, I couldn't find my password for here! I finally found it today! We're thinking of purchasing a new computer but that's in the works yet.
I'm still busy stripping an old door--on day-five of it and on the second side. It has about 7 or 8 layers and it's positively gross. When that's done, I plan on sealing it and painting it before R hangs it again. I truly can say that this house is a "work in progress". and will be until I am moved to a retirement home.
Health wise, I'm doing well. I'm making an effort to eat healthy and trying to limit my between mal snacks to fruit or veggies. I still can't put much weight on my foot, but I was told that would happen about 35 years ago...oh well.
'Tis life and life isn't fair.
Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Hope ya'll are doing well.
I'm positively lost now that school has started. I never really realized how much of a helper my oldest son is, especially at keeping my 2 year old busy!
And I thought it would be EASIER having him in school all day !
Well good luck to everyone with the 5 lb. challenge! (I know I need all the luck I can get with the way this month started!)
Off to work for the morning only,,,,then off until after school starts........aug 30th....looking forward to our holidays.
I will start packing today,,,,getting the pets ready for there stay with my mom, etc.....we leave monday....but we are busy for the next 4 days at folk fest.
feeling better but still pretty careful what I eat and drink.
we have been moving back into our office so I have been swamped with getting everything back into place or into a new spot and just haven't had any computer time. Tomorrow they are suppose to be coming to hookup DSL so I won't hve this slow dialup junk anymore and boy will I be glad ;-)

4b4m, enjoy the time with your 2 year old... the days fly and before you know it, he'll be in school too. I try to saver every minute of my DD. I need luck too for the challenge LOLOL
Whats everyone up to this weekend. I have my other niece staying over tomorrow, then its just cleaning and stuff like that. How bout you ?
I had a rough few days earlier this week (actually, all summer, but this week was particularly bad).. I had gained back so much of the weight I had worked so hard to lose last year and really had a "woe is me" pity party for myself. I even phoned Herbal Magic and set up an appt. for yesterday (which I ended up phoning back the day before yesterday and cancelling after reading comments about it on another forum here).
Instead, I recommited myself to WW, which I KNOW works... I must have been holding water, too because I spent yesterday running to the bathroom and believe it or not, am down 4 pounds this morning. That's a lotta water!!
I had two weeks worth of log books, so I'm using them, I'm marking down EVERyTHING that goes in my mouth, and I'll start going to meetings the week of the 21st (I'm going to be away on my meeting days in the meantime).
I got back to the gym yesterday too, after avoiding it for the past 10 days... One thing I have to learn to do is take care of me before I start trying to take care of everyone else.
Things here are about the same. The mornings have been very hard. My oldest son used to go to afternoon kindergarten, so this whole rushing in the morning thing is gonna take some getting used to! School started so early for us because we have year round track scheduling. He's in 'green track', so he starts the beginning of august, has the months of November, March, and July off. Not too bad, all the other tracks had to start July 11, yuck!
He's the only one I have in school, the others are 2 (soon to be 3) and 8 month old twins, so school starting didn't bring any blissful peace and quiet to my home...that's still years away!
The babies have been sick the last 2 days, didn't sleep a wink last night! I'm about ready to put everyone done for a nap, including myself.
Hey Judomom - it is so good to see you! It sounds like you have a great plan! As you said, you know that WW works. We all know it does! and going to the gym - well that always helps...with everything. 4 lbs is a lot of water. I know it's great to see your scale move down 4 lbs already! whoooohoooo you go girl!
and uhmmmm maybe Monday morning you could come drag me out of my bed and get me back to exercising like I should too
4boys4me - let me know when you get peace and quiet at your house. Our guys are 22 and 18 and there is neither at our house. I hope everybody sleeps tonight!
Leenie are you off from work tomorrow? or just having your niece over after you get off of work. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.
