Sweet - things are in upheaval with you, no-one expects you to diet in times like that. I can see in myself that when things are hectic or the routine gets junked, the diet gets junked as well. Give yourself some slack and try again when things settle down.

Good morning ladies! I am working on some coffee right now, and I just finished some oatmeal with a bit of peanut butter (yummy!). My arms are pretty soar this morning, but I think that will get better in an hour or so. Stretching has already helped. Today I am going to do my legs...and some stair stepper also.

Well, today I have my clinical at the elementary school until 11:00, and then I have class from 1-2:00. I have an independent study from 3:30-4:00 about. After that...I am going to leave for Iowa City to visit my brother and sister in law. It will be nice seeing them this weekend (I don't have classes on Fridays...hard life lol).

Well, a few days ago I got my student placement. I am going to student teach for a kindergarden classroom for the first half, and then in a special ed, resource room for the second half! I am in Mason City (about 30 minutes away from here). I am glad!

Well, I'll be around for about an hour.


LOL Sweet...I must be confused then. Maybe it is time to try something else to try to get some sleep. I hope lastnight was ok for you!!! (((((((Sweet))))))

(((Meg)))) Good to see you! WTG on doing so wonderful yesterday. I think I would have given in for some choclate...wow good job! Kick butt today excercising!

Wendy, I hope you sleep well!

Oatmeal with peanut butter???? HUMM that's interesting!!

Thought I'd pop in briefly before I go to mom and dads for tea,I'll check in later.....

Hey Wendy! Yeah, it is good! I love peanut butter though lol. Talk to you soon!



So, some fun news! My brother told me that my parents are going to go to Cedar Rapids (about a half an hour from IA City), and we (my brother and me) are going to meet them for lunch tomorrow. I havn't seen them sense February (they are in FL from November-April). Then I am going to spend the day with my parents in Cedar Rapids (at Sams Club and book store) (my brother and sister are going to be gone at work/school until tomorrow night). So, I get to see my parents too! I miss them so much!



Alright, so I had an excelent workout! I lifted before class (really hit up the weights on my legs...we'll see how I feel in the morning lol) and I did 30 MINUTES on the stairstepper. I am still trying to catch my breath a half hour later lol jk. I feel good though! Just finished a cup of V8 juice! It looks like today I'll be hitting around 1500 calories!

Tessa-sounds like so much fun. Have a good time. I'm so tired so I think I'm gonna hit the sack. Good night.

hi everyone
Meg thanks for your support - yup my diet has gone out the window hehe

I spent some time this morning working on my book. First time I have done anything on it for months. Now I am going to bed for a nap. Tonight going out to dinner. Would rather stay home but too late to back out

Tessa wow things are busy for you. have fun meeting up with your family

Hi Wendy Angeal and everyone else

I'm tired too! And I can hardly walk from exercising to much! lol!
G'night all!

Hey ladies,

Another Friday rolls around and things are pretty chilled here. The schools closed yesterday and the boss is away for two weeks from Monday and he's even a bit calmer today. Have typed some letters and printed a plan and my PE is now gone so I'll spend the arvo reading!

Tessa - wtg on all that exercise and still eating well and going to class. Hope you have a lovelly weekend.

Sweet - Hope you enjoyed your dinner out. We're having roasted veg tonight and it looks like rain so that will be good.

I've been sticking to plan but did have two rusks with my coffee last night. They are wholewheat and not too full of fat and really nice. May have another tonight. I also had a packet of chips just now, my first in many months and enjoyed them.

Lunch time now.

Mwah

Morning! I can't believe I'm here before 11am! I think that's a first for me! Ryan got up 3 hours earlier than usual so I'm sitting here all baggy eyed wondering what to do first,have a lovely breaky or workout for awhile??????
Think I'll exercise!!
Take care, chat soon,
W.

morning all! wendy starting my computer is one of the first things i do in the morning hehe. no wonder i'm overweight

the food at the dinner out wasn't v nice but it was a friendly dinner with nice people, altho i admit i was a bit bored. that's just me some days i am not very social

i've been doing better lately, more general overeating than bingeing. but today i had a foul breakfast. i started the day with buzz bars. they are marshmallow and caramel covered in chocolate and come in long bars. i am addicted to them but first thing in the morning hmmmm

exercise today will consist of vacuuming etc for open home. good thing i mowed the lawns yday. it is pouring with rain, absolutely crappy day. plus the dogs are v wet. they are inside dogs but i am leaving them out so they don't track mud and smell into the house

i am wondering if i might have to change the curtains and do a few things to improve my chances of selling??? i will keep my fingers crossed for a buyer today an agent is selling a house down the road and has an open house too so i am hoping that will pull buyers to my place. i put my signs outside the house at 9am today so people will see it is for sale!

i did start thinking after spending yday with my friends in the country that i need more friends like them. i am a bit disenchanted with my other "friends". had a fight with one on friday and she is definitely off my list... i will have to join some new hobbies so i can meet friends

i am also thinking of learning webdesign as i need to update my website. trouble is i think it would take a long time to learn enough to make it as professional as some i have seen and that is what i want. otherwise i have to save my pennies. it will cost several thousand for what i want...

meg - well done on sticking to plan. sounds like you're getting a lot of reading done hehe

Happy Weekend everyone. Today I went grocery shopping and got lots of good and healthy fruits and veggies for the week. I love my fruits, especially oranges! I'm gonna do laundry and clean tomorrow, so I think that will count as a workout! I hate carrying laundry up and down two flights of stairs, but it's better than having to go to the laundry mat.

I AM SO BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not much work and no boss. Everyone just chillin' today. Ate badly over weekend - scones with jam and cream! Enjoyed them, but made me add lots of extra water weight!

Hope everyone else is well.

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

My weekend was very nice, It was busy...and I didn't get much done, but it was fun!

One thing, my brother rented West Wing from the video store last week, so we watched a lot of that this weekend. I didn't think that would be a show that I would enjoy, but I really did. Very good show.

Today I've got a busy day. I'm trying to figure out when I am going to work in working out. We'll have to see. I need to get ready here.

Good morning,how you all doing??? I've got an hour of exercise in already today!! Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
W.

good morning

i had a lot of trouble sleeping last night and ended up getting up for an hour to calm down. i had a few glasses of wine so i didn't want to take a pill. i will probably nap later today

i better rush outside before it rains. need my dose of sunshine!

i will work today on my article for the book and then spend some time thinking about where i want to move. there is a house for tender closing this friday i am interested in but i think i will wait until this place sells before doing anything or make an offer conditional on selling this place. still thinking

had fettucine for dinner last night. yummy i love pasta!

wendy you are definitely the exercise queen LOL.
Tess glad you enjoyed your weekend away - sounds fun
Meg - don't worry it's only 1 day. as for the boredom, i guess you're sick of reading books???
Angela - all activity counts as exercise so at least there is a plus to doing the laundry. hmmm i love fruit too
