I'm off to put waterproof mascara on and get my baby off to kindergarten!
My oldest child got in his car last week and drove himself to his first day of senior year in high school! I can still see him walking thru the doors of school for Kindergarten like it was just a moment ago. I'm shedding a tear with you. They grow up so fast! This is what I'm calling my year of momentous change....My oldest will graduate High school, My middle will graduate Middle School, and my baby graduates from elementary school. I'm feeling sentimental already
Glad to have somewhere I can go to share a little and get inspired! Thank you all!
Good morning everyone. Well, today is my first day on IP. I was a little apprehensive about how the food would taste. I had a peach/mango shake this morning and had to admit it was pretty good. I think I drank it too fast though because I felt nauseas five minutes later, but it went away. So, we'll see where this journey takes us.
It might be the vitamins, they sometimes make me nauseous. Most of the food is pretty good. Congrats on your fresh start!
WI#1 -7lbs

LOL I'm 38 and still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up
I seemed to struggle a bit this weekend, with slipping up and going out the other night. Bad choice, but I'm back 100% OP, so I'm staying positive! Afterall it's a new week.
Thinking about trying this chicken patty today, but I'm nervous and I've come up pretty empty handed on recipes around here for it. Phooey hoping I will find something soon.
Have a great day! Im enjoying my day off with a book and tea.

Wait!! Nobody ever told me we had to grow UP. I thought we only had to grow OLD. Yikes.

[QUOTE=scorbett1103;4457529]....I'm wondering if she plans to stop by sometime before tomorrow's WI - I am SO HUNGRY today!...QUOTE]
[QUOTE=GoalFor40;4457606]Hunger always means a good WI for me, I wish I were a little more hungry today, actually. WI Wednesday looms large!....QUOTE]
Well, I'm on the hungry wagon, too. I'm not sure if it is the TOM for me, but I'm so hungry for salt. And meat. If I could have a steak and pickles right now, I would. My weight is fluctuating a little now that I am breaking through a plateau. Seems to go up and down. Today is up, and that always is a bit of a drag for a morning, beginning of week weigh in.

port,
Don't get concerned. I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do until my late thirties (took classes on and off all the time trying to figure it out). I worked at a lot of different things. I finally got my undergraduate degree 30 years after graduating from high school. With all those classes over the years, I have more than the number of credits it takes to get a doctorate, they're just not in the right place. Now, I'm ready to retire.

I'm glad someone else has put this in print. I keep saying I never grew up, but I feel strange saying it.
Now if I could only convince my body it doesn't have to grow old.
Gray and dreary and we've had an inch of rain in the last 6 hours. Quite depressing.
Tomorrow I see the doctor for the evaluation of last Friday's MRI on my foot. Yes, after almost two months, I still haven't a clue what's causing the pain. I sure hope the MRI shows something and they can fix it. My boss is pleading with me to not take any more sick leave, to just file to work at home. I've sort of been enjoying this. I guess it's like what retirement will be like. Too bad I need to work 21 more months until Medicare and have a salary for a few new bills that have popped up from DH trying to survive being unemployed for three years before he found me and we got married (long story told months and months ago in some forum post, don't worry, no wild internet romance - I knew him from high school and some time after)
