Ladies, I have to post again. I got on the TM intending to do just 2 miles. I started slow and then started to push it. I finally hit that point people talk about when endorphins are released and you feel great.( Truly I've always thought this was a big lie people told ) UhUH it feels awesome. I ended up doing a total of 4.25 miles. The first 3 in 38 min. 9 sec. and the 4 miles in 52 min. 19 sec. The hardest part to believe though is that I still didn't want to quit. I honestly felt like I could've just kept on going. It'd been 6 days since I was on the TM last. Maybe the break from it really did my muscles good.
I hope you don't mind my blowing my own horn, but this is a point I never would've dreamed I would ever get to. Thanks for being so supportive! Kristi MaY MiLeS : 39 |
:cb: :dance: :flow1: :dancer: KRISTI ~ I am so happy for you :cp: --- you should be proud, I KNOW I would be too!!! I agree with you... you must have needed the rest. CONGRATS! :flow2: :cloud9: :cheer: :encore: {{{Hugs}}} Oh... as far as the weather --- not long after I posted this morning it cleared up and tunred out to be a glorious day! *~*~* I put in another 2.25 miles tonight too... I felt like "why am I sitting to watch TV when I could be walking to watch it :D " See you all tomorrow ;) :sunny: SunnyD http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_2_118.gif MaY MiLeS: 37.25 *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
wow Kristi!! Way to go girl!!! You have every right to blow your horn!!! I haven't gotten my exercise in yet but I'm going to walk after I watch American Idol.
Michelle |
Ughhh I only did 2 miles I just couldnt get going today I was really really tired for some reason but at least I got some walking in! 52 for the month
I'll address you each of you tomorrow its just really late and I should go to bed :) Sleep well! Michelle |
Hi Ladies!
Your thread is so encouraging! I'm new to this website and wanted to find an accountability group for walking. Would it be ok if I joined in on your group? |
http://users.bigpond.com/cutecolorz/...orsquilt4a.gif Good Morning Gals ~ Hi CUTSIEBUTTONS ~ WELCOME to our humble thread... this is a great little group of ladies whom I find to be very kind and encouraging, I know you will too. I see you are a newly wed ;) Congratulations!! MICHELLE ~ :cp: Yeahhhh for Fantasia and Diana D on American Idol :cp: I am thrilled with the two of them being in the final spot. Although... ... I really do think it should have been LaToya and Fantasia (dumb voting system :p ) --- whenever I tried to call it was busy and after a couple times I would just give up. I cannot compete with those dialers some have. I know Fantasia has it either way... they both will do well. Have a great Day everyone!!!! See you later... {{{Hugs}}} :sunny: SunnyD http://users.bigpond.com/cutecolorz/...squiltline.gif |
Hi Girls! :)
Wow, have I got some catching up to do! Kristi: WTG! SunnyD and Michelle: I can't believe how many miles you girls have walked and it's not even month over yet, congrats :). As for me, I haven't walked the past two days. I've been in the vegetable garden instead. The plants are just big enough now so that I can weed and boy, have I been weeding. The garden is 70ft square and I've been trying to get a couple of rows done a day. Today I'm going to tackle the carrots. I've also been planting eggplant and canteloupe, no more to plant though thank goodness! According to fitday, I'm burning more calories doing this than I would walking, so even though I've missed my morning walk, I'm happy that at least something is burning off. The good news is I made ONEderland this week. 197.5 according to the scales Tuesday :strong: . I'm hoping to get a brisk 2 mile walk in sometime this evening, when it cools down. So I will check in with you again after I do that. Congrats again on the miles girls, you're making me proud. |
Welcome Cutsiebuttons, Always room for one more!
Lynne, Welcome to wonderland, I'm sure youare just going to love it here. Seriously, Great job. A huge pat on the back to you! Sunny, Glad to hear you ended with a nice day. It rained a couple more inches here last night. AGAIN! Lots of thunder and lighning as well. 7 y/o ended up in bed with mommy and daddy. Luckily the 4 y/o slept through it or it would've gotten crowded! Michelle, How do you do those late night walks girl? If I haven't gotten my exercise in by 7pm I'm just not doing it. You amaze me with your dedication every day! Hi Sheila, Great job on your Curves workouts. Stay optimistic and pray for sunshine. 2 miles for me today. I had to work in the school kitchen again today. It's so hard to eat right there. Last week I baked 500 choc. chip cookies one day, yesterday I had to put Whip cream on 400 slices of jell-o, and today I had to make a very yummy broccoli and rice bake that's just smothered in cheese sauce. I have to admit I take little tastes, but so far I haven't given in to temptation. I'm going to be brave and weigh myself tomorrow. So, I have to be good!! Kristi MaY MiLeS : 41 |
http://users.bigpond.com/cutecolorz/...rsbunmailb.gif Good afternoon Gals ~ Just popping in to tell you that I got in my 2.25miles today... I wanted to go further, but am feeling very tired today and have to go out tonight. *~*~* Hi LYNNE ~ So good to see you :) :flow1: :flow2: :cheers: :cheer: Congrats to you for reaching "One"derland!!!! :dancer: :dance: :cb: :cp: I am so excited for you!!!! I remember I was on :cloud9: for days... Yeahhhh for you!!!!! Your gardens sound wonderful and a garden is allot of hard work! Good job! My veggie garden is humble to say the least next to yours :lol: I have two beefsteak tomato plants and a pepper plant and herbs... remember it's just me and the hubby, so I don't want too much of a harvest. Although, last year the neighbors benefited from it ;) Hi KRISTI, MICHELLE, SHEILA & CUTSIEBUTTONS ~ Hope you all are having a wonderful day! My hubby is home, so I must scoot... Later, :sunny: SunnyD <>< http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_2_118.gif MaY MiLeS: 39.50 http://users.bigpond.com/cutecolorz/...rsbunline1.gif |
I did 3 miles today!! 55 for the month!
Lynne - Congratulations girl!!!!! You must be positively glowing!! I got into the 220's yesterday so that made me smile it was only 229 but hey still 220's lol. I just can't wait til I get into the 100's too I will feel soo good. Kristi - Ohhhh chocolate chip cookiesss they sound soooo good!! I don't think I could work in a kitchen lol I would be soo tempted lol. Sunny - Keep up the great work!! I myself have been kind of tired lately too I'm hoping it will pass. Well I need to eat some supper, I made stuffed peppers tonight! Then I'm gonna try and get a 2 mile walk in before I settle down for the night!! You all have a great night and keep up the excellent work. Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to welcome cutsiebuttons to the group!! Welcome Girly its great to have you!! Michelle |
Thanks ladies for the warm welcome! :sunny:
I decided to get started this morning by walking to the store to get some milk and a pedometer. On the way home I discovered it's a 3/4mi walk to the store. So, I was able to get in a 1 1/2 mi. Not a bad start, but I definately want to improve. I'm hoping to meet up with a friend after dinner and we can walk a little more. It's seems like the blocks tend to speed by faster when we get together and chat. Lynne- That's awesome! Keep up the hard work. Sunny- Hope you have a good time tonight! Michelle- Wow, 5 miles! Girl, you're a machine! Kristi- If you can resist a kitchen full of freshly baked chocolate cookies. You are the :queen: Queen of will power. I actually didn't think that could be possible. Sheila- You're inspiring me to step it up too! I hope the weather is nice for ya this weekend. I've got to get dinner cooking before my husband gets home for lunch. Love ya chickies! |
Good Morning :)
Thanks for the kind words, I feel pretty proud of myself for getting into ONEderland, now I just have to stay there! Welcome cutsiebuttons to our thread, you'll find lots of support here and some really great gals. I did another 2 miles today, we're forecast for a hot day here so I'm probably not going to be able to get into the garden until tonight. Will ttyl :). |
Cutsie-Way to go on getting 1.5 miles done and behind you!!
Lynne - woohooo 2 miles!!! Keep it up girl! Well I never did get another walk in last night cuz I sat down to watch school of rock with hubby and then my 2 yo wanted to dance with me afterwards and it was pretty vigorous so I figure thats a good little workout. I'm planning 2 miles for as soon as I get up off my butt lol. I will ttyl!! Michelle |
Yippee for all of us!! We are all just rockin'!! The miles are adding up and the pounds are counting down. Woohoo! It's been thundering and lightning all morning again and I've just been dying to get on here. I finally got brave and weighed today after two weeks. I'm down 4 pounds. I'm so excited. So far I've resisted having a "special treat" to reward myself lol. I finally got almost all my garden in last night. I must not have been paying very close attention in the green house. I have 6 cherry tomato plants. One is enough for any family. I think I'm going to make the kids care for them and then they can sell them by the pint. Keeping 1/2 the money and giving the other 1/2 to the local food pantry or something. Well, I have loads of housework to get done.
Have a great day everybody almost forgot 3 miles for today Kristi MaY MiLeS : 44 |
http://www.countryclipart.com/peachs...peachespie.gif Good Morning Gals ~ I went to Curves this morning for my weigh-in and measure... all I lost in inches from last month was a quarter inch in my hips... and my weight is still 195 (down 21lbs all together). I am not disappointed, I just have to keep on truckin' and increase my workouts a little bit. I think I am puffy from the water I am holding (even thought I drink tons of water in a day ~ over 100oz ) - it is very muggy here and hot! Not complaining 'bout the weather, mind you... but it is a reason for holding water. So I really think that my next Curves weigh and measure will be much better and look forward to next month. I did go down a bit in body fat --- from 41.40% to 40.80% --- down 1.19lbs in fat. I know it will be a better result next month cuz I am just gonna work harder! http://www.countryclipart.com/peachset/peachesline2.gif Hi JENNIFER ~ Thanks! Joe & I always have a good time :) We left the house at 7pm and stopped over to the SIL's to drop off a computer program and ended up visiting for an hour; then when we got to the Wal-Mart I bumped into one of the workers from my Curves and spent another 45min chatting with her, so by the time we finished shopping and got home it was almost 10pm :^: :lol: :dizzy: What an evening... but it was nice! And I got all I needed, well... almost... they didn't have my hair color :( I wanted to color my hair again - I always feel better after I do it. It comes out so pretty. Oh well... I'll get a box this weekend and do it later. Hi KRISTI ~ WoW! 44miles - everytime I get somewhat close you pull away :lol: GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! DOWN 4#'s - awesome job! Hi MICHELLE ~ And YOU!!!! I'll never get close :dizzy: :^: 55miles... You go girl :smug: Hi SHEILA ~ Hope that the weather cooperates with you so you are able to get a few in... I usually go to the park with the hubby and walk at least 3miles, but the last two Sat. it has rained :rain: here and we weren't able to go, so I too hope it's nice enough for us to go this Sat. Hi LYNNE ~ It finally stopped raining here, we had quite a loud storm during the night - it woke me at 2:30 this morning... it is so muggy! Hope the humidity goes down soon, so I can get out into my gardens. I work in the evenings when it's muggy like this. *~*~* Haven't walked yet today... so I'll be back when I do ;) Later... Me <>< http://www.countryclipart.com/peachset/peachesline2.gif |
KRISTI ~ I was just looking over your sig. stats again - you are only 8#'s away from your GOAL (!) now - IS that AWESOME or WHATTTTT!!!!! :dancer: You went from the 140's to 130's - BRAVO :bravo:!!! :) Me <>< |
Kristi - 8 lbs to Goallllll!!!!! I 'm soooo happy for you you are getting so close :) Keep it up girl!!
Sunny - hey girl 1/4 inch is a quarter inch don't discount that at all you are doing great and working so hard! I'm sooo happy for you as well!! I can't wait til I'm where you are at now!! only 28 lbs til I get to onederland lol but thats not official until my Weigh in on Sunday!! But I'm very excited. Lynne - How's it going girly? Feeling better? I did 2 miles today, I'm slowing it down a bit this week so I don't get my body sooo used to the workouts that they become inefficient but tomorrow I'm going to have a 4 or 5 mile walk :) Well its been rainy here all day and the kids are so antsy therefore driving me absolutely batty lol. But they've calmed down since they had a power nap thank god!! Ok I better get off here! TTYL Michelle |

http://www.countryclipart.com/CLaneS...ehsesnflws.gifhttp://www.countryclipart.com/CLaneS...sunflowrs3.gif Good Saturday Morning Gals ~ I never did walk yesterday... I didn't feel very well after I got home from my Curves. I guess I was fooling myself thinking that I wasn't disappointed in the results after working so hard on my exercsie and diet. I am feeling a little better today. I am hoping to get to the park today for a walk - in between the raindrops :rain: ;) *~*~* Thanks MICHELLE ~ For trying to make me feel better... you are kind and it did help ;) I will not give up - I have come too far, but I did need to take a rest day yesterday. Cheering you on :cheer: in reaching *One*derland!! You too are working so very hard!! :cp: *~*~* I just thought I may share some pictures: 1 of the Arbor that Joe put together for me :) And 1 of my Lilac Trees in the back of our place ~ see the small window? That's my bathroom leading into our bedroom, that beautiful scent fills our rooms from that lilac tree every Spring. Just wish it would last longer ;) The now empty garden behind our shed (to the right of the trees in the pic) is where our veggies will go :D Our humble garden... Just click on the titles to see the pictures ;) *Have a Wonderful Couple of Days Everyone!* http://www.countryclipart.com/CLaneS...ryredheart.gif :sunny: SunnyD <>< http://www.countryclipart.com/CLaneS...elineshrtr.gif |
Sunny - That arbor is absolutely gorgeous!! I want one now!!! you have such a lush yard, ours always stays green and mowed and we have rock beds around the big tree in the front yard and rockbeds against the house and tulips along the fence line but thats it! I just can't wait til I can do more out there I'm just gonna have to wait til the girls are older cuz they are too young for me to leave inside or unattended lol.
I probably won't walk today, I woke up not feeling too good and was woken up by the people who rent the house next door screaming and fighting with eachother, had to call the cops for the 3rd time in a week and a half!! Ughhhh I am going to find out who the owner is so I can call him and talk to them about the problems with their tennants. Ok my girls are screaming at me I better get off here I will talk to you guys later! Michelle |
Hi Sunny and Michelle, I'm sorry to seem unsupporting. The weather here yesterday was so bad I had two posts get lost. My children even had to go in the tornado safe areas of the school. My garden I was so happy to get planted Wed. looks like a sm pond and so does my basement!!! We got no sleep last night. Our sump pump quit working at 11pm. We own a gas station, convenience store, feed and farm supply store. We knew there was another pump in one of the under grounds gas tanks so DH and I were out in the rain with flashlights trying to find it. Long story short my FIL had taken it out. It was just in the shop right by the car hoist!!!! Only problem, it's a pump with no float so you have to manually turn it on and off. Every hr. on the hr all night and so far today to stay ahead of it. Two roads out of our area are flooded over. The big but though is, we're allright. No actual tornado touched down or anything like that. I'm just thinking maybe God is trying to save me all the stress of having to can at the same time Sun school, scouts, soccer, school, etc starts lol The sun is shining beautifully right now, but they're calling for more rain tonight. Soooo, Sunny don't get down on yourself. Your sticking to the plan and working really hard. We always hit plateaus, but with the effort your putting out you will soon surpass it. You're healthier and feeling loads better and if anyone deserves it it's you!!
Michelle, You deserve a down day as well girl!!! You've racked up so many miles I can't believe something isn't aching!! So, sorry to hear you have annoying neighbors. That must be awful especially if your girls can hear as well. I'll pray that tonight is better. Take care and have a great weekend! put me down for 2 miles Kristi MaY MiLeS : 46 |
Oh my goodness kristi!! I can't believe you are being flooded!! I'll say a prayer for your family that you get through it all ok :)
Another day of no walking for me I am still sick as a dog and can't hardly move and I get dizzy when I stand up so I'm just stuck in bed!! I hope you ladies are having a good weekend, hopefully I can get a walk in tomorrow, who knows maybe i'll atleast try to do a mile but I can't say for sure. Have a great Sunday! Michelle |
Good Morning :)
Michelle - I hope you are feeling better. Kristi - wow you are really getting some bad weather, I'll keep you in my thoughts and say a prayer for you. SunnyD - don't feel down! you are doing great and you have lost 21 lbs, which is awesome. Keep going, I know you can do it. You're such a warm force on this board I hate to see you down. I did another 2 miles today and had a very busy weekend. Saturday we met some friends for lunch then went to an antique furniture auction which was really entertaining. Sunday was spent in the garden weeding and putting up frames for the tomatoes and peas. I'm weeding again today hopefully too, plus have housework so it's going to be a busy day I think! Friday I am set to take my written driving test *gulp* so I also need to go over the study book one more time. Well, got to go, I will probably check in again tomorrow. Have a great Monday everyone :). |
Hi ladies!
This weekend was very busy but I did manage to walk 4 miles in the last 3 days. My husband also LOVES to rollerblade and I've always wanted to try to learn but, I could never justify picking up rollerblades for myself. Friday, he bought me a just because present and they were rollerblades! He said that he thought I'd enjoy learning and excersing with him. Well, I had my first lesson after church Sunday and it was a riot! I finally got the hang of it and fortunately never fell down. Ohhh my goodness, does it work by hips and thighs- I'm definately feeling it this morning. Sunny D- I loved the pictures of the arbor and the lilac tree. They're beautiful! I also think you're doing a great job and have made so much progress. I will be praying for you, I know God will help you get through this plateau. Kristi- How's your home? Did everything turn out ok? We've never had a tornato here in Oregon, just LOTS of rain. I hope you and your family are doing well. You will be be in my prayers. Michelle- I hope you're feeling better. You're such a hard worker! I hope that you were able to get rested and refreshed this weekend. Lynne- Your garden sounds like it's going to be beautiful. I've always wanted a vegetable garden but I live in an apartment, so it's not really an option. Good luck on your test on Friday! |
http://www.countryclipart.com/WildFl...flowerline.gif Good Afternoon Gals ~ I am so sorry that I cannot post individually right now - the hubby is due home at any moment (he called). But just in case I am not able to come back later I wanted to post my miles for today. I got in another 2.5miles :) Thank you all so much for the support! You just don't know how much it means to me!!!!!! I really got to feeling low, but your kind & encouraging words brought me back into perspective and I am back on track again today. *THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU ~ THANK YOU* I will try to come by this evening - but if I am not able I WILL catch up with you all tomorrow after I get home from my Curves class. Luvs, :sunny: SunnyD <>< EDIT: I don't seem to be able to add :dizzy: I added wrong and shorted myself a mile --- 42miles not 41 :o http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/7/7_2_118.gif MaY MiLeS: 42.0 http://www.countryclipart.com/WildFl...lwrspilled.gif |
2 miles for me today!! I was feeling so lazy for not doing any walking the last 2 days because I was sick so it felt really good to get some exercise in!!
Its late and I should go to bed, I hope you all had a wonderful Monday! Michelle |
Good morning :)
Another 2 miles done for me today. I hope you are fully recovered Michelle! SunnyD I am glad you are feeling a bit better, we're all here for each other which is why I really like this board. I got rained on during my walk so off to get changed and take a shower, will ttyl :). |
http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...ehartsline.gif Hey there Gals ~ I haven't walked yet today, but will later - just wanted to stop back and post to you all. I have gone to Curves this morning and had quite a workout. It always feels so good after I have gone. When I am getting ready to go I really want to just go hop back into bed :lol: but I fight the feeling and just "do it" --- it always pays off ;) http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...Cks/4harts.gif LYNNE ~ I love walking in the rain - when it's warm. Glad to hear you were able to get in your walk today. Sounds like you had quite a busy weekend... us too. Did you buy anything at the auction you went to - or just go for the fun of going? I have never been to an auction, but have always wanted to see what it was like to go. Sounds like fun. We still haven't gotten our tomatoes or peppers in the garden - it is just so wet! The moment I step onto our lawn you sink in with muddy waters going into your shoes - we too have flooding like you would not believe in N.E., Ohio... many area's were without electricity and have flooded homes. In fact, it is raining right now - again! The forecasters are saying that we should have nice cooler, clear weather after today - I sure do hope so! We will be harvesting our lawn soon in bales if we don't get it cut this weekend. I am also hoping to get the veggies planted this weekend. Sounds like you have a good size veggie garden... bet it keeps you busy. Wishing you *LUCK* this Friday with your written driving test... did you not have a license before now, Lynne? Or is this test for another kind of license? Maybe I missed a post when you explained it. MICHELLE ~ I am so sorry to hear that you became so ill! Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better now - was it the flu? Sure sounds like it was... it seem to hit you fast and hard. Maybe you needed to slow up a little and rest - you have been really working hard, between the walking and the family. I know what you mean about the lack of motivation after not working out for awhile - that's what happened to me. I had not walked since last Thursday - I did do Curves on Friday, but didn't get in my walk. It took all I had yesterday to get back on the T-Mill, but I was so glad I did! After I finished up... I felt great. I am glad you enjoyed the pictures... have more of my yard and all the pots I planted, but they are still on the camera. So you will have to wait till I download them and make them smaller for the forum. I enjoy sharing pictures with everyone - especially of my gardens and of my three boys (the cats ;) )... they are so precious to me. They don't know they are cats - they think they are people... they own me! :lol: I too am sorry to hear of your neighbors - I feel so blessed, we have lovely neighbors here. Most are older... we are in a 55 & older Mobile Home Park (moved in before it was changed over - I think we are one of the yournger couples living here), and most time are caring or checking in on them. The are sweet and we love it here. I wish that for everyone... too bad some neighbors are inconsiderate and unkind. I feel for you and your family. KRISTI ~ I am so sorry to hear that you are flooding!!! Was there allot of damage??? I know allot of people are suffering with their homes flooding & sink holes!!! How's your home?!? Thank the Lord, ours is just the yard! We have another huge storm moving over us now... when will it all stop! It has been one heck of a Spring so far! I hope you don't lose your gardens... after all your hard work. I have held off planting my veggies till this weekend - hope it pays off to wait and the weather gets better. Were you able to catch up with yourself after the weekend??? We miss you here. I surely hope that you were able to clean up after your flooding and catch up with your rest! *Thinking of you* Kristi!!!! *Prayers* JENNIFER ~ Good for you getting in some miles over the weekend... soon we'll be starting a new month in June ( JuNe WaLkErS ) and you will be able to be there from the beginning of the month with us ;) WoW... it's almost June already - where is the time going?! I think it's great that you are roller-blading!!!! I have such weak ankles - roller-blades and ice-skates are not for me. I use to roller-skate, but it's been years! I hear that roller-blading is great exercise! I am proud of you for doing it & never falling (!) - good for YOU! Soon the aches will go away. Thank you so much for your prayers... I love it when someone offers to pray for me - my chances are so much better in succeeding... and I feel I do better. I am feeling allot better - so your prayers have already done the trick... Thank you so much ;) :goodvibes SHEILA ~ Hope all is going well with you & we see you back here again... ;) http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...Cks/4harts.gif *Wishing you all a Good Day* Always, Me <>< http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...yhartsline.gif |
Sunny, we went to the auction for fun. It's a regular auction which runs every Saturday and friends of ours go quite regular. Each week they auction different things. We didn't buy any of the furniture, I did bid on a pair of brass frog bookends, which were adorable but I was outbid by someone else! It was a lot of fun, my first auction and we're going again this Saturday, modern furniture this week and we're hoping to pick up a pair of nighstands for our bedroom.
This will be my first driving license, yep I cannot drive! I'm looking forward to learning! Will ttyl, got to go study now :). |
I'm ba-a-a-a-ack and so glad to be. It's been a heck of a few days, but we've survived prety much intact. We are still pumping water every 2 or 3 hrs. because it just keeps seeping in. We were to get more rain last night, but luckily it just missed us. The sun is actually trying very hard to peek through all the clouds right now. I did no miles on Sun. but had a blast bowling with my S.S. class. 3 games. That must count for something. Had a great end of the yr. Scouting party last night. I ate WAY too much and also got no exercise yesterday. Shame I know. My best friend of 26 yrs. called last night and her mother passed away Sun. night. She'd been sick since Christmas and was in hospice care the last 6 days. Very sad, but yet she knows her mom is now with her dad and she's much happier.
Michelle, Sorry to hear you were sick. WTG getting right back on program. You are such an inspiration. Thanks for your prayers. It means a lot! Lynne, I just got done washing all my towels nice and fluffy. Do you need one lol Hope it wasn't a cold rain. Thanks too for the prayers. That's so nice Jennifer, Roller blades!!!! That's awesome, they are my planned gift to myself when my waiste hits a certain number. I've never been able to justify the expence for myself. That sounds kinda sad. We're worth it right now right lol Great job getting active. Sunny, Thanks for all your lovely thoughs. My home is soggy, but ok!! I think my garden is actually going to be all right as well if the rain stays away. The weather man is calling for more this eve, but he was wrong last night. Pray without ceasing! I hope everything is fine with your home and gardens as well. You mentioned sink holes. Is your beautiful yard suffering? Great job getting back in perspective. Take care. 3 miles today ( planning another 3 suffering TOM so it's iffy ) Have a SUNNY day all! MaY MiLeS : 49 |
http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...ks/tanhart.gif http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...birdhouses.gif http://www.countryclipart.com/BirdHs...arnredhart.gif KRISTI ~ No... no sink holes in our yard, but some of our friends have problems. Also with soil erosion from the rains. It was raining earlier; then it cleared up. Now we are right in the path for another major storm. My weather-bug is chirping like crazy. It is warning us of the storm coming in... I hope it passes through quickly and w/o much damage done. Glad to see you back and to hear that all is under control. Do you have a finished basement? LYNNE ~ I think it is so cool that you are getting your license! It's never too late to do anything... I was 19 before I got mine and I learned on a standard. I loved the standard, but after my car accident (in 1976) my hubby wouldn't buy another small car :^: I think you will do just fine... have you practiced driving? I aced the driving part (100%), but got a 96% on my written because I didn't know what the depth of the tread on a tire should be (still don't - :lol: ). You make me want to go to an auction... I think they have them here in Aurora, Oh. every Saturday --- I'll have to look into it. We do go to a huge Flee Mrket 2x a year at the Burton Fair Grounds - I think there's like 5-800 vendors.

http://www.countryclipart.com/ButnBowSet/sewangel1.gif Good Afternoon MICHELLE ~ Yep... whatever came through OHIO yesterday missed us, so we are fine here :) My hubby actually was able to mow the lawn last night :o He'll need to do it at least two more times over the weekend to catch up. I too await your good news from the Dr. today... come back soon and fill us in!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHEILA ~ Good to hear that you are feeling better after that bad bout with the :lol: bottle :lol: http://www.countryclipart.com/ButnBo...cksbowbar2.gif I am feeling so much better now... I have been nursing a migraine headache since Monday evening. I thought I might be able to handle it w/o meds, but alas I caved and took a a migraine tablet... now I am much better. I can actually see now. Those are so bad when they hit, I haven't had one in a very long time - I think I got it from working all stooped over doing the pots on Sunday evening and on Monday morning. I went to Curves yesterday with it and thought it may go away - not! So this morning I missed my Curves :( Oh well, I am just dandy now... no complaints. And I hope to get to Curves on Thurs. & Fri. to make up for lost time. My Joe is off the next 5 days :cheer: so I will post when I am able to, okay gals. I usually don't go on the computer much when he's home... unless he is outdoors working on something. I just am with him so little that I don't want to take time away from him when he is home - ya know ;) I am going to try to get in a 2miler today - so I'll be back later... {{{Hugs}}} Me <>< http://www.countryclipart.com/ButnBo...kcksbowbar.gif |

SHEILA ~ Is that you holding the Possum? Just wondered... it's always nice to see what everyone looks like ;) Possum is beautiful! But whomever that is holding him looks to be a bit annoyed :o :lol: I use to have a long-haired gray cat, named *Smokey*, years ago - he was my very first kitty... I miss him still. I love pictures and am glad you shared too! :smug: There's a picture of me in my Profile :) Me <>< *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Oh how neat to see what everyone looks like!!! What cute kitties!! I don't want cats because they tend to be less child friendly lol we do have a dog who is great with our two girls She was a puppy when my 2 yo was 1 when we got her, omg that sentance was a wreck I hope you understood it lol!!
Ok now the doctor was sooo impressed with my progress and they like my dedication. It made me feel sooo good!! Ok its late so I need to make this a short post sorry guys! 2 miles for me today! sleep well Michelle |
http://www.countryclipart.com/911/americafreebrave.gif Good Afternoon Everyone! Hi :wave: MICHELLE ~ You did better then I did! I never did get in a walk yesterday nor will I today - I AM going to make up for it though, cuz I want to make 50 miles for the month of May... where did the month go?! You are right about the cats being less 'child friendly'... I enjoy dogs too, but am not able to have them here where I live. Otherwise I'd have both ;) I just enjoy animals in general. Glad you liked all the pictures :) You stated that the Dr. was impressed with you, but you never said how much you lost? Maybe I missed it... Have a good weekend Michelle ;) http://www.countryclipart.com/911/flagsline.gif Okay... where is everyone else??????????????????????? :dance: I have my hubby home today though Monday :cp: I am so happy! I love it when he takes time off and we don't make any plans... just taking it a day at a time. We have allot we want to finish up in our gardens/yard for the beginning of summer. Now that the yard is drying up we plan to work in the gardens... And we have a wake to go to tonight for our DFriend who passed away at only 64 yrs old from brain cancer (that will be a bummer...) Because hubby is home I will miss a *Curve* day - but I will try to keep up my walking. Although, yesterday I didn't do anything... I nursed a migraine headache all day. It began on Monday evening, but the pain peaked yesterday, that's what I get for holding off the meds (I didn't want to take them) - so I could do nothing... today I am so much better. So I hope to go to Curves tomorrow morning. Can't today - too soon after the migraine, don't want it to come back :no: I haven't had one of those (a migraine) in a long time! We had :sunny: sunshine and blue skies :cloud9: this morning & it was absolutely beautiful... but alas it has gotten cloudy again with a few sprinkles :rain: Okay... later Gals... http://www.countryclipart.com/911/2usflgs1.gif *Have a SAFE & Fun weekend!* http://www.countryclipart.com/911/country4thgbear.gif *God Bless* :sunny: SunnyD <>< http://www.countryclipart.com/911/flagheartsline.gif |
It's so great to sit down and read all your news. I hope to have time to respond individually tomorrow. Yesterday I had a blast at Circus World Museum on a field trip with 2 of my children and made it through Martha's wake. My friend is so sad. It makes me sad. The funeral was today. I was able to attend the service, but had to skip the the cemetery and luncheon. I plan to get together tonight with the family after I attend the t-shirt dance with my children at school. On top of all the activities I have TOM and am eating terrible. Funnel cake and the like!!! I'm gonna keep walking and be happy to maintain this week. I did get in another 3 miles on Tues. and 5 today. Take care all!

Good morning :)
Sorry I haven't been able to post this past couple of days, our phone line was cut Wednesay morning! The highway dept are digging up and widening our road and getting ready to gravel it and we lost our phone and internet lines. We're expecting to lose them a couple more times before the work is done so if I don't post for a day or so, that's why! I walked 2 miles Wednesday and 4 miles yesterday. Got to go, will try post more later today :). |
