Hi! Guess I'm following you around SusanB!!
Thought I'd pop in and see how things are here, looking forward to getting to know you all!!Just a few days and I'll be here with you everyday!
TTFN!

Note to self ... Heinekin and chocolate ice cream will not get me "there"!

I'm off to visit my Mom (76) today. She broke her arm last week and had a follow-up appt yesterday. I'd like to know what's happening.

Heinie + ice cream = :devil: Ninjas don't eat ice cream ;) :lol: Although hot Ninjas might succumb to the odd cornet on a STUPIDLY hot day, say like, today ;)

:hug: for Mom

We watched part of the big golf tournament that was near Liverpool last weekend. England is very hot and dry, eh?

It is sooooo humid here! The 3 H's ... hot, hazy and humid.

Oh you know - a bit like the Arizona desert at the moment! I want my :rain:

Just had an exciting moment, plenty of thunder and lightening but only one tiny drop of rain :cry:

Sorry to hear about your mom breaking her arm Susan. Hope she mends quickly.

Well I'm down one more pound. My pants are fitting better already. We've been exceptionally hot here also. I'm so ready for fall!

LUCKY OHHHH LUCKY where are you!??!???!??

I am NOT ready for Fall even if it is HHH here too!!! I'd love to live in summer all year except in December for Christmas... Maybe when I retire I will be one of those folks who goes down south for the colder months... The ONLY think I don't like about summer is that I can't run outside the heat makes me sick...

Things are good these days, food is in control and exercise is good...

If we had a max temp limit, I'd be fine. I can do almost anything up to about 32 if there's even the slightest breeze.

Is it usually this quiet around here on weekends?;)

Yes :yes:... :lol:

:wave:

I'm back! My weekend was super-fab! I'll be blogging all about it later on this morning, so feel free to nosy!

Food was pretty terrible, but I didn't binge like I usually do when faced with junk, junk or junk!!! I feel like I didn't eat too badly, even if I did get a (small) Rolo milkshake at Mac D's!!! Although that was lunch!

The weather has really cooled - I am wearing a HUGE sweatshirt that I had to borrow, I was going to give it back today, but I'm too cold! :lol:

I usually pop in on weekends but this one was a doozy. I worked, my neice got married, we had another family thing ... No time for recreational surfing :)

But today .... I'm home alone in the quiet .... ahhhhh!

I really need to chill out and make repairs from the weekend. To my head, my body, my house .... mount laundry:)

I'm not posting it until my official weigh in day on Wednesday, but it looks like I may have removed another pound.

This weekend was an out of town softball tourney, so we had to eat out for all meals. I watched my selections and portions but my calories were about 400 more per day. BUT the scales show a one pound decrease, go figure. Maybe I do need to get my calories up around 1500 to help move the blasted scale.

OK...time to stop being a slug...I have finally found the motivation to get back on track with my eating and exercise!

I had the most horrible weekend...I was surrounded by a bunch of young, hardbodied women in bikinis which made me feel horrible about myself to begin with. To top it off, I was talking with a "friend" who was telling me I was a party pooper. I told him I was a "shell of my former self", and he corrected me to say that I was not the "shell" but the "meat" of my former self. He tried to fix it by back pedaling and saying that I had lost weight since last year but that didn't do anything to make me feel better.

I spent yesterday absolutely hating myself (and him) and now I am so disgusted that I am considering cancelling a date with someone who told me how good I looked 3 weeks ago. I've only put on a pound or two since then, but it feels like 20 and I am afraid he will notice and be turned off!

I don't know why I'm ranting...I've let myself slide and it's my own fault but maybe if I put it in writing I will get my *** moving. I stocked the fridge with high fiber, low fat foods for the week. I didn't get up early enough to work out today but I did my crunches and push ups. Tomorrow is a gym day for sure!

Hope you are all feeling better than I am right now! I am off to eat my turkey on light bread...

Daisy :hug: I can't believe how rude/impolite/immature some people can be :rolleyes: .... You look great and now let's get on the wagon again and start "feeling" great about our accomplishments...

Way to go softballmom for watching your portions in difficult situations, that's half the battle...

I didn't do well and the scale showed a + this morning :tantrum: ... It's not going to be an easy week either DH is on vacation and we have a wedding on the weekend....OY!!
