Hi ladies, went to spinal therapy this morning. Considering Ihaven't done anything in a year, it was quite tiring. I feel like hellow now. I especially loved the part where I got electrodes in 2 parts of my back and my neck stretched. Then the therapist did some next stretching/massaging and he tried to losen a tight mass of muscles in my back. That hurt. Not looking forward to doing all that 2 times a week.

Mercee, you are so sweet. I always feel like I shouldn't pray for myself or harp on my problems. Others have much worse.

Ellen I hope your GS is ok. I hope he will not be scared of the diving board now.

Toni, How are you today.

Crystle, are you out picking in the garden?

We are leaving for Del Hollow lake tomorrow morning and be back on MOnday. My best friend owns a house boat. I am so looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

Take care, talk to you guys on Tuesday. :hug:

Toni48 07-29-2010 01:12 PM

Hello Its really hot on this fine day. It made me sick to go outside this morning. I have to go out today and not looking forward to it. I got a huge cantaloupe from friends yesterday. My gosh its the size of a small watermelon. I can't wait to cut it today and try it.

Solly- Oh my gosh girl what you go through. You need some relaxing time this week end. I hope you get lots of down time.

Ellen- I can access those from my old desktop icon. I love to go over and look. You can get some good ideas. So sorry about your Grandson. Poor little guy. That was good the nurse was there just in case. Its nice of you to open your pool up like that.

Crystle- Wow wow wow on the okra. I love okra. Thats so great you got so much. Your freezer must be stuffed.

Mercee- Hope you're having a good day...

CountryMom4Him 07-29-2010 09:21 PM

Good evening
 
Howdy ya'll. We just got home a little bit ago. You guessed it Toni, I was out picking okra again. I like okra but I am so tired of picking it by the end of growing season. I think I have close to ten pounds tonight. It will end up being about a gallon or so of chopped okra. Tomorrow we are going to eat it stewed with olive oil and onions. We've picked about 8 gallons that were usable and a TON that had turned woody that I'm drying for seeds.
Eating was not stellar today but not too bad. I did not get to walk either so I will try to make up for it this weekend but if I can't I'm not going to beat myself up.

Toni..how was the cantaloupe? Jessie ate a whole one the other day that was growing the other day and then a half of one the next day. I think he is going to turn into a cantaloupe. :dizzy:

Ellen...so sorry about your grand baby. I know that had to hurt. My little man has an ear infection but you couldn't tell this morning. He was all grins. His mama said in the middle of the night though he was crying and crying.

Solly..hope you have a wonderful relaxing time. Sorry that therapy is so painful. I hope the end result make it all worth it. ((hugzz))

Mercee...hope you are enjoying your time away from work.

((Everybody))

God bless,
Crystle

Mercee 07-30-2010 11:56 AM

Hi Ladies:

Solly- I hope you enjoy your weekend getaway.

Ellen- Great job finding those recipes.

Tony- I hope you enjoyed your cantaloupe. I love cantaloupes.

Crystle- Send me some of that okra. LOL

Well I went to see the dietician yesterday. We worked out a great meal plan designed for me and my lifestyle. Actually it wasn't that different than what I was doing. However my biggest problem was I wasn't eating breakfast. She felt that was why I lost so many inches and not weight because my body was trying to hold on to keep from starving. I started eating breakfat everyday this week since I was off and I told her I felt 100% better already and I dropped those 3 pounds. I go back in 5 weeks for a follow up and to see if I lost any weight. I am still going to the gym 5-6 days a week. I really feel great.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Toni48 07-30-2010 12:40 PM

Another hot day here. I think I'll make some bread today. Tonight I'm making whole wheat tacos for dinner. I'm using whole wheat flour shells. Can't believe its already Friday. My cantaloupe is super. Fixing to have some more in a few minutes.

Crystle- Oh my goodness you're the okra queen. Wow Jessie can sure eat the cantaloupe. LOL !! Its so good for you.....

Mercee-Good for you eating breakfast. I get up late cause I stay up late and my breakfast is at 11 or 12.

Ellen 07-30-2010 11:20 PM

Just a quick post... Yesterday I drove out to my daughter and son in laws, and took them and my grandson to a local pick your own farm that is just about a mile from their house. They had blueberries, which we each picked a gallon of, and okra, which I picked a bit of. Their okra is getting eaten by deer according to the owners, so there was not much. They have more blueberry bushes than I have ever seen together! It was HUGE. The berries are very good. I put most of them in the freezer and made a batch of blueberry muffins for Tom.

I picked okra in MY garden today...there was a good bit. I have a lot of Indian recipes for okra..curried, masala, etc. I could eat okra every night! Crystle, send me some of yours! :)

Its going to be a somewhat busy weekend. I hope everyone is doing well!

:wave:

Toni48 07-30-2010 11:30 PM

Oh boy that would be such fun to pick your own. I would love some okra. I haven't had any in years. I love blueberries to. They would make great smoothies.

Toni48 08-01-2010 01:05 PM

Having a wonderful lazy Sunday. Still having coffee and slow day. With a late breakfast. But did take out some chicken breasts out for dinner to grill.

Solly 08-03-2010 10:14 AM

Hi ladies, we are back home and back at it. Yuk!
We had a wonderful time. Did nothing but sit and laugh and lay in the lake on a float and talk and laugh. At night we star gazed. Friday night there must have been a million stars in the sky. I have never seen anything like it. It was breathtaking. Saturday we entertained ourselves watching 3 turtles eat bread. It was fun and very relaxing. Yesterday, Dh cut the grass and I cleaned house and then went and got the baby and kept him until the girls play VB. It was a nice day.

I think I am going to have the neck surgery. It is just too risky. I will meet with the sureon on Thursday to finalize. Not sleeping at all. I was up EVERY hour last night coughing. Finally slept around 4 AM.

Crystle, that sure is a lot of canteloupe for a boy to eat.

Ellen, it has been a long time since we have "picked" berries. It was fun but backbreaking. Enjoy them.

Toni, glad you had a lazy day yesterday.

Mercee, I have found eating breakfast really helps me. Now I can't go w/o it.

Got to run into a meeting. See you tomorrow.

Ellen 08-03-2010 10:49 AM

Hello everyone! I am trying to get motivated to get dressed and DO something today. Tom just called and wants me to go with him to look at a car at lunchtime. Its a silver camry 5spd. I love everything about it that I have heard except the silver. I really wanted a different color...but I am so ready for this search to be over. I feel like we are SOOO busy! There is never any time to get things done. Sometimes it just drives me crazy.

SOLLY: Your weekend sounded lovely...relaxing. Praying for you with the neck stuff. I hope you can resolve the sleep stuff. It will help you so much to be able to wake up rested! Do you know, since I started using my machine, I have had very little problems with RLS. I can tell when I have stayed up too late....it get it a little! Not like before...thankfully.



Toni48 08-03-2010 11:21 AM

Supposed to be 101 here today. So hopefully we've got a start on the air going good. I plan on salads for dinner tonight. We grocery shopped yesterday and I'm glad to have some healthy snacks in the house. I slept like a rock last night. So feeling great this morning, enjoying my coffee.

Solly- My thoughts and prayers are with you too. I'm happy you had such a good relaxing time. You sure did need it. DH has to mow to but its been so darn hot here. Hope we're not sending you this heat wave we're having.

Ellen- I hope the car works out and you can get your search over with. We have a silver car too. Wish it was white.

Solly 08-04-2010 08:31 AM

Good moring ladies.

I took a whole Ambien last night and boy did a sleep good. Maybe I finally hit that 3rd level they say I am missing. I actually feel a lot better today so maybe a good night's sleep helped that too.

Ellen, I am actually almost looking forward to the sleep study again hoping it does help me sleep. I would like it if it got rid of these RLS. I had to go to bed last night they were bothering me so much. Hope you like the car. Car shopping is a pain in the you know what.

Toni, aw, to have groceries. I need to go desparately but my DD has been dog sitting all week and I have not felt like cooking so we are squeezing by with what we have. Yes, we have your heat wave. Supposed to be 100 here today. Wish I was in a pool.

Crystle, Mercee, :wave: hope you are having a great day. :hug:

Ellen 08-04-2010 10:20 AM

Maybe I should have taken an Ambien last night. I did not sleep at all. Tom's having trouble with his bi-pap machine and leaks with the mask he is using. The leaks sound like honks. I finally reached over and held the silicone seal down on his chin and the honking stopped. He takes the mask off in his sleep though...once he did, I was able to fall asleep. But that was around 3. I am SO tired today. My grandson is already here and into everything, and folks are coming to swim in an hour or so...I just don't know how I am going to hold up all day. I may try a second cup of espresso....

Forgot to weigh, but I feel bloated, so I think I will wait.

:wave:

Toni48 08-04-2010 11:14 AM

Some kind of big mowing trucks came down by our driveway this morning and woke us up. The dogs went crazy. So we got up early. Should have stayed in bed cause when I stepped on the scale I gained 1/2 lb. I'm not to worried about it cause it could be water or anything. I ate very late last night to so that could have added to it.

Solly- Thats good you got a nights sleep and feel refreshed today. That RLS is horrible. Sorry you have to deal with it.

Ellen- That honking sound could be as bad as my DH snoring. I'll finally fall asleep when he quits. Have more expresso and take a nap today if you have a chance.

Well better make breakfast for Steve and I. Think I'll have sliced cantaloupe and a thin sliced bagel. Grill chicken salad for dinner.

Mercee 08-04-2010 01:45 PM

Hi Ladies:

I am still around. I am working ona big prject at work. I am still working out every day except Sundays and I feel great. I made up my mind that I deserved an hour a day for myself not matter what . That's why I switched to the gym. My blood sugars have been great. Mt eating had been good espically since I started writing everything down so when I go back to the dietician in September. LOL Amazing what a few changed will do.

Solly- Glad you enjoyed your trip and got a great night os sleep last night.

Toni- I hope you find the car you want soon.

Ellen- I hope you are able to get some sleep tonight.

Crsytle- I hope you are not lost in your garden.LOL

Well I have to go. Have agreat day all.

Toni48 08-04-2010 03:55 PM

Yum just had a strawberry, banana smoothie. Sure hit the spot.

Mercee- Thats great you working out everyday and getting fit and strong. You're a very good example of doing it right.

Crystle- Where are you?????

CountryMom4Him 08-05-2010 09:25 AM

Howdy
 
Sorry I am absent but we are on vacation. :carrot: Eating has been pitiful but I'm still having a good time. The scales are back up but not gonna change my ticker until next week because I'm gonna try to be better for the rest of vacation and see what happens. :dizzy:

((Everybody)) Thinking of ya'll. Especially when I do bad. ;)

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Mercee 08-05-2010 10:44 AM

Morning ladies:

I was really tired yesterday but I made it to the gym anyway and I felt better. I am still really busy at work and will be for the next 2 weeks. I will get in here as often as possible.

Toni- Your smoothie sounds great.

Crystle- Enjoy your vacation and we will catch up with you when you get back.

Have a great day everyone.

Toni48 08-05-2010 12:27 PM

Oh my gosh we were blessed with some wonderful rain this morning. After two days of over 100 degree weather. Eating was great yesterday. And I even kept from snacking last night. Think I'll make tilipia fish for dinner. Maybe a small salad it.

Crystle- Enjoy your vacation. Are you just hanging around the house?

Mercee- You are really doing good with the working out. Have a great day and don't work to hard.

Solly 08-05-2010 03:40 PM

Ellen, hope you got that extra expresso or got a nap on a raft in the pool. Sweet dreams tonight.

Toni, I'm eating late will contribute to your gain. Try again tomorrow.

Mercee, Good job on the gym. I think my gym days are over. Hope your project goes smoothly.

Crystle, enjoy your vacation. I am sure your school will be starting soon.

Just got back from the surgeon's office. We are going ahead with the neck surgery. He showed my Dh my spine and it makes a backward "C" instead of being straight. Now I just have to wait until they can schedule it. It wants to do it right away. I hope it doesn't interfere with my sleep study and another test I have to have done.

Talk to you later.

Toni48 08-05-2010 06:42 PM

Just talked to my brother in the hospital and he just had surgery on his spine. They removed a disk and did a fushion. He's already up walking and doing great.

Solly- Hope your neck surgery goes well and they can get it over with fast.

Ellen- congrads on the car.

CountryMom4Him 08-05-2010 11:54 PM

Good evening
 
I had a terrible but delicious lunch of fried chicken gizzards but I had a fantastic dinner. I had some veggie tacos that totally wowed me and that is saying a lot. We sauteed some carrot strips, onions and mushrooms in olive oil. I put that on corn tortillas with guacamole cream (avocado, lowfat sour cream, garlic, lime juice and Louisiana hot sauce and salt) along with that salsa, lettuce tomato, small amount of refried beans and cheese. Did not miss the meat at all and it has held me for over four hours now and I am not slightly hungry. It really made me feel good to get back on track.

We haven't left town but we have been out and about while on vacation. We even accomplished a few chores.

Some goals that I am working toward are: less artificial sweetners and foods with additives. Not there all the way but I am drinking my iced tea plain now. Not gonna give up my sweet coffee milk so I'll probably switch to sugar but not yet. I have to get the calories down in other areas first. I'm hoping eating fresher will help my metabolism. Plus I just think it is healthier. Once vacation is over I plan on getting back to my walking also. It really made me feel better about myself even though I didn't lose any weight.

Toni..so glad your brother is healing so quickly. I pray he continues to do well. WTG staying away from the late night snacking. I'm with you on this heat..yuck.

Solly..praying that everything falls into place and the neck surgery doesn't interfere with the sleep test. I'm curious, when you get the neck fixed will it change your results since it is in the wrong position now? Your time away sounded wonderful. How is that precious grand baby of yours? Remind me how old please.

Ellen...so happy for you about your new car. I hope you just love it.

Getting sleepy. Since we have been on vacation we have gotten up EARLY every day...ugh..LOL :dizzy:

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Ellen 08-06-2010 08:12 AM

Morning! We brought the new car home last night and now I have some errands to run...like getting an extra key made, and stuff. I like it. It drives nicely. My old Camry had a tiltable wheel with more range than this one. I feel sandwiched behind the wheel. It tilts, but not enough to move it higher to where I like it. I am going to play with it some today and see if I can move it more. Other than that, its a pretty sweet ride. Much better shape than my 1990 Camry, which Tom will drive now.

Something I ate yesterday has really disrupted my GI tract. I should have taken Beano or something! ;) With it came bloating and I still feel that some this morning. I hope it clears up soon. I am blaming it on the Chinese food we got Wednesday night. I got a veggie Moo Shu, which was delicious, but I think much higher fats than I am used to.

I did some research on a hunch I had after reading another book on new approaches to diet for diabetics. The new book recommends limiting animal products and saturated fats, but is not as strict as the first book I read. Come to find out the doctor who wrote the first book, where it tells you to have NO animal products AT ALL, but his explanation for why no non fat dairy was a bit lame, is very closely related to PETA. Some reports questioned his motives, and research supporting a strict vegan diet for diabetes. This interests me, as I have had good results, but not the dramatic results he promised in the book. So, with that in mind, I am contemplating adding non fat dairy to my diet to get more protein. I am hoping it will help me cut down on the amount of soy I am eating, which I KNOW is not good for my thyroid condition.

Ok, off to start my day. My espresso mug is empty. Thanks for having coffee with me! ;)

Have a great weekend!

Ellen 08-06-2010 08:29 AM

Wanted to do replies:

MERCEE: You are so faithful to your walking and working out! So inspiring! Makes me feel like I ought to go get dressed, slip my shoes on and go! My latest excuse is the temperatures are brutal...90 at 10 last night, 80 at 7 this morning! I hope the big project at work goes well....

TONI: Its been really hot here too! Yesterday, on the way home with the new car, (it has a temperature thingie!) it was 98 out! That was at 6pm! I am SO ready for the heat wave to break and it to cool off!

COUNTRY: Can you send me your recipe for the veggie tacos? They sound yummers! Good for you getting the artificial sweetners out. I don't miss them at all! I used to have a two diet coke a day habit, and now, if I have one, it tastes nasty to me! I can be happy with water or plain tea. Especially if I get some of the cool flavored teas. Try Celestial Seasonings cold brew blueberry. Its really good! And fast!

SOLLY: Am keeping you in my prayers with all you have going on. I hope you can get the sleep study done and get used to a cpap machine quickly. It will help you recover from the neck surgery I am sure. When you don't have enough oxygen in your blood, your cells and metabolism don't function at optimal levels. The cpap will help that. That is why I have lost 22 pounds since I started using mine, and with no change in diet. What other tests are you having to do?

Solly 08-06-2010 11:13 AM

Good morning ladies, I am not used to workin on Friday's so this is a bummer. Guess I will be here 5 days for awhile until all this stuff is settled as I don't want to use all my vacation until I figure all this out. Still waiting on the office to call and schedule the surgery.

We have a wedding Sat night and I am so perplexed on what to wear especially with this weather. Plus, nothing fits. I am so disgusted with myself.

Toni, your's brother's suregery sounds similar to what I am having done and what they want to do with my back. I wish him a fast and successful healing.
With my neck they will fuse 2 discs together and put a cage around them. Somthing about filling the cage with my bone marrow (don't know how they do that). They cut through the front of the neck. I think I will have a rod, plate and some crews. Sounds fun doesn't it????

Crystle, you tacos sound wonderful. My DD also gets mushroom quesadillias so I will like to know how to make something like that. The baby is fine. He will be 13 months on Sunday. Boy has that time gone fast. I have enjoyed seeing pics of your gradbaby on FB. What a cutie.

Ellen, I am so glad you got your car. I can't imagine dealing with only 1 car. Hope your tummy gets better soon.

Mercee, hope your project is going well. Don't wear yourself out.

Have a great weekend everyone. I am going to talk to my DD this weekend about getting back on track at least with our eating. She can go to the gym but I shouldn't and I could walk if it would ever cool off.

Toni48 08-06-2010 12:36 PM

Good morning everyone. All this talk about walking is making me wish I could get out and walk. But the weather would keep me from it. The humidity is so bad. We grilled hot dogs last night and they didn't hit the spot. For some reason they tasted salty and icky.... Hope I can find something better for dinner tonight.

Crystle- I love your new picture on the avatar. Your hair looks beautiful. Wow I love fried gizzards. I haven't had them in years. My goodness I would also love those veggie tacos. Yum Yum.... I drink my ice tea plain. And lately have been having lots of it.

Ellen- How fun to have a new car. Sorry you got a hold of something wrong to eat. One more month of this hot weather and then we can really walk.

Solly- Its good to see you on here on a Friday. But wish you typing from home having a nice relaxing day. They put screws in the right side of my brothers spine. Hope he heals quickly and does better. I can't believe he gets to go home today. I have my nieces wedding to go to in Colorado the end of this month and can't find a thing to wear. And can't afford to buy anything. I wish I would have got more weight off this summer.


Well better go cook breakfast I'm sure Steve is starving. LOL

CountryMom4Him 08-06-2010 02:09 PM

Howdy
 
I am so excited. I'm getting DSL next week. Hope that will make being online more productive and way less time consuming. You can't imagine how long it takes me sometimes to get a page to load. Signing up again at Spark People now that the computer should cooperate. I am Crystle_Again if any of ya'll are there. I'd love to find ya.

Ellen...there is really no recipe. It was all the things above minus the beans. I forgot I didn't eat the beans. I just seasoned with fajita seasoning.

Toni..thank you.

Solly..sorry you are stuck at work today.

Mercee...hope all is well today.

((Everybody))

God bless,
Crystle

Mercee 08-06-2010 03:37 PM

A quick drive by to say hello to everyone. I am still busy at work and will be for about 2 weeks. I am still working out 6 days a week and I refuse to give that up. I am worth 1 hour everyday for myself. (This is my new mantra) LOL. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will stop in regularly. You guys are the best.

Toni48 08-07-2010 12:02 PM

Hi everyone. Hope you're enjoying your Saturday.

Crystle- Boy DSL will help so much. Ours is a slow one and its still better than dial up.

Mercee- Don't work to hard.

Morning Ellen and Solly.

Solly 08-09-2010 11:16 AM

Happy Monday ladies,

Still waiting on the dr to call with the suregery date. I just wish they would come on. I am going to call them if they don't call me today. Had a nice weekend. Had 2 pool days and a wedding. We had turkey hot dogs yesterday and I could not tell the difference.

Crystle, I love your new avator. You look so beautiful. I know you will love DSL and we will love having you here more often.

Mercee, you are worth it and don't let yourself forget it.
Off to balance my back accout. That is scarry. Have a great day.

Toni, I know what you mean about something to wear to the wedding. I had to borrow a dress my from DD Saturday. I was so frustrated.

Mercee 08-09-2010 01:08 PM

Morning ladies:

Solly- I hope you get your surgery date soon.

Toni- Hope you come up with an outfit for the wedding.

I had a good weekend. I am still busy at work. Have a great weekend ladies.

CountryMom4Him 08-09-2010 06:20 PM

Good afternoon
 
Boy is it hot outside...it is 100 right now. I was out there watching the well man fix our well. Talk about break your heart...1,000 dollars. What can you do though, you have to have water. Praise God we were able to use plastic or we would still be dry.

Had a wonderful salad type lunch today. Half a cucumber, half a roma tomato, one small avocado, a tbs. lowfat mayo and few drops of hot pepper juice. Everything was chopped and blended nicely with the mayo. Very tasty. Of course I was starvin' so that might be part of the reason...LOL Naw, it really was good.

Solly..thank you so much. Praying you get your surgery date soon so it won't be at the back of your mind.

Mercee..don't work too hard. ;) Keep up the good work with making time for yourself. I've taken a lesson from you and am making myself a priority on my list.

Toni...ours is not one of the fast ones either. Are you still getting this nasty hot weather?

Ellen...hope you are getting some rest after Kalaeb's b-day party. It sure looked very nice.

((Everybody))

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Ellen 08-10-2010 09:06 AM

Good morning, Friends! I slept well last night, and I feel a bit groggy this morning. I am trying to sort out in my little pea brain what I need to do today. I have an order for some decorated cookies for Thursday, and Friday we are going out of town for one night to my mother in law's family reunion. Should be a nice trip in the new to us car.

My grandson started Pre-K yesterday, on his fourth birthday. He had fun. I think it will be good for him, but I am just overwhelmed at the idea he is old enough for school already!

I am struggling with a lot of things right now...my diet, my blood sugar, family issues....it is not helping my weight loss. At least I am sleeping!

:grouphug:

Solly 08-10-2010 09:22 AM

Good morning ladies. Just got in from therapy. It was a lot shorter since they have to cut out all the neck stuff.

Feeling much better today. I think I was just overwhelmed yesterday. It all hit me at once. My hand were numbe 3 times already today so it helps me realize that this neck surgery is the right thing.

Crystle, sorry tht you hace to spend so much money on your well. But you are right, what can you do. Can you give me your recipe for guacamole? I tried to make some by memory and I think I screwed it up.

Ellen, Looks ike I will be able to do my sleep study next week with the mask. I am looking forward to the RLS going away and sleeping good. I remember my dreams so vividily. MY SIL says its bc I am not hitting that level of sleep. He said he used to remember his, but with the machine, he does not. I can't believe Caleb is going to preschool. I can remember when he was born. Time really flies. Hope you can get things resolved at home.

Mercee, my therapist recommended swimming for me. He says its about the only thing I should be doing. So I guess I will go cancel my gym membership and give my trainer sessions to my DD and SIL. I just hope I can get back to walking. You are such an inspiration I just want to do something.

Toni, hope you are having a good day.

Off to do some filing. Yuk. One thing I hate to do. Have agreat day.

Toni48 08-10-2010 12:15 PM

My oldest Grandson was here yesterday from Texas. He's on his way to North Carolina to start a job. I can't believe he's 18 and going to be out on his own. I'm so worried about him. My sister also came to visit along with one of my nieces. So we had a great visit.

Solly- Who wouldn't be overwhelmed with all the stuff you've got going on. Did you get a surgery date yet? I'm sending up lots of prayers and thoughts for you.... Hope you do well with your sleep study.

Ellen- Wow can't believe your little Grandson is going to school. Sounds like maybe this ought to be a rest day since you've got so much to do the rest of the week.

Crystle- Oh my gosh that well price strikes fear in my heart just thinking about it. We're on well water to and know if that well messes up you're in trouble. Hope it all goes well. Your food sounds yummy.

Mercee- My sister and niece helped me pick out something for the wedding. Finally..... Hope the job and the exerciseing are doing well.

CountryMom4Him 08-10-2010 03:07 PM

Howdy ya'll
 
It is so HOT HOT HOT.. :carrot: :carrot: .LOL We are right at the hundred mark. I will not be surprised if we pas 100 before the day is over. We hit 100 yesterday closer to 5 o'clock. I made it outside this morning for a two mile walk. It was already 96 degrees. I don't believe I'll be doing that again any time soon but I felt great mentally making myself get up and get out. I'm hoping to add a few minutes on the treadmill shortly.

Ellen...hang in there lady. ((hugzzzzzz)) if you ever wanna chat I'm here. I can you about family stuff. *smile* My middle son is about to turn me completely gray. Good thing I decided to dye the hair. :dizzy: Getting your eating plan just right can be a tough one. The key is don't give up. When things are pressing in from all sides just push em back! Or you can do what I did the other day which is lay down and cry. I didn't know a person had that many tears in them. :D Either way you will rise to the top because you ROCK!!!!

Toni...praying that you never have trouble with your well. We have lived here ten years and the man told us that was actually a good amount of time for the jet to hold out. I hope this one makes the Geiness Book of Records for lasting. :dizzy: Thanks for stopping by my blog today. When you make your page I'll add you as my friend.

Solly...Glad you are feeling better. It can be so hard when it seems like everything is going crazy at the same time...especially in our bodies. You are strong and an over comer. There is not a doubt in my mind you are gonna be back up and running (walking) before you know it. ((hugzz))

Mercee..Hope your schedule slows down soon. Are you still able to get outside in this weather?

((Everybody)) Hope you are having the best day and if not I pray it gets better.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Hi ladies:

I am happy to report I loss 5 pounds within the last 2 weeks. I thank God. I am still working out 6 days a week. It is so hot here it is unbelieveable. I am so glad to be able to go to the gym.

Crystle-- I hate when something unexpected happens and the it cost a great deal. As you ststed water in necessary. I hope all is well now.

Solly- I am glad you are having your surgery and you are able to see the benefits of it. I pray they give you your date soon. I've read that swimming is great exercise. We all have to find what works for us.

Toni- Glad your found your dress for the wedding. I'm sure you will look stunning. Glad you enjoyed your visit with your sister. My sister was in town last weekend we had a blast.

Ellen- I pray tha you are better today. I'm sure your sugar numbers are only up because of the stress. I hope things come together for you soon.

Well I have to get back to work. Have great day everyone.

Morning ladies. Had to have another test this morning. Will go into all that later, after I get the results.

It is hot, hot here also. I guess it is everywhere. It was 91 at 6:00 this morning.

THey have scheduled my surgery for the 30th of Aug. I have requested they change it to that following Friday, the 3rd so I will have an extra day off with the holiday. She has not called me back yet. So it will be one or the other.

Mercee, :dance: Wow 5lbs is awesome. Keep up the good work. Looks like the gym is working for you.

Crystle, I can't believe you walked at 96 degrees. You had to sweat off 5lbs! Just pray for strength to handle your son. I used to tell my youngest"she warmed my heart, but she tried my soul". They grow up and it gets better. Don't forget to send me your gucamole recipe. I am on Sparks but don't post in the forums. You will have to make me your friend.

Toni, so glad you picked out something to wear. It alsways helps to have others' opinions. That is why my kids won't let me shop alone. Today is a different world. Kids go out on their own so much sooner. But back in my day I was married at 20 and my kids sure couldn't be married at 20. Times change.

Off to do something. Have a great day. :hug:
