Yahoo.... I can post again!

Yes, and yes ..... Funny how a tiny thing forcing you to at least TRY another way opens the door to so many other possibilities....

Like you Kat, I have been trying to readjust my schedule to get more movement in.... My old standby of stairclimbing must wait till my knees are feeling better. I get a strong twinge when I put too much weight.... mostly coming down stairs. A twinge strong enough to stop me midstep....

But as I was thinking about much better I know I always feel when I get that movement in, I thought ... why not just walk the halls during that same time frame I used to devote to stair climbing.... It definitely is not the same quick "get your heart rate up" but it sure beats what I'm doing now.....

Interesting. As soon as I made up my mind I wanted to find an alternative I did.....

Hmmmmm

Was watching Rachel Ray cut an onion and I thought she did it differently than all the rest of the world. Then I saw Bobby Flay do the same thing, cutting the onion in half or quarters and then removing the skin. Much faster than my method of doing it before hand.
Guess there always is something to learn no matter how many times you've done something.....

Anagram, so sorry to hear your bil is battling cancer. I am sure your show of support at the hospital meant the world to them. Times like these you really find out who your friends are.


To everyone, sorry for being short but the washer has stopped and I must get things hung before I need to run the load again to get the wrinkles out.


Here we go Tuesday evening, here we go....

Fly by post...I'm heading for the shower, then it's off to work. It's been another good day. Walked early, got enough sleep during the day (something I've been trying to work on---getting enough sleep---hard when you work nights) I even got outside for about an hour to do some tidying up of the flower beds. That always makes me feel good. Did some tidying inside too and actually hauled out the vacuum and gave it a spin.

Amazing how clearing the clutter from my head goes hand in hand with clearing the clutter from my home.

another "hmmmm," eh, Kaylets?

Yikes, 10:35...gotta run. Nighty night, all!

Good Morning all!

I do make myself laugh when I am suddenly "enlightened" by something I've known all along.... even might have "spouted off on".......

A long tmie ago, I accidentally realized while walking to work during the aftermath of a finished romace, that I felt better mentally when I arrived at my destination.
Although I have known this for years, my first instinct to "cope"......

You guessed it, the only movement is in the jaw........

hmmmmm


Ok, ready, set,

JUMPING back into movement.......

Its more fun then being a bystander anyway!

HERE WE GO WEDNESDAY!!!

Yo Queenlies! I started a message earlier but got sidetracked -- housework, work work. That's about it No goofing off... Hmmm...

Anagram, I know your support of DS and DBIL must help them so much. It's hard when there's nothing concrete you can do. I always find it that way in those situations, a little flummoxed at the lack of an appropriate action to take.

Kaylets, funny how many times one lightbulb can light, huh. I have lightbulb moments from time to time, forget all about the revelation and then marvel anew next time the same idea occurs. Re: Q -- Saturday, for sure

Ceara, Halifax is a bit warmer than here usually. Probably a little cooler than you but in the same ballpark. We've got 24 degrees here (cherishing each one, I am) today. Calling for rain but it's sunny and lovely so far. I'd say pack for the cooler side of what you'd expect mid-June.

Kat, that sleep is crucial! When I'm tired my resistance is so low... I'll be sitting here thinking how much I'd like to go back to bed and sit another few minutes and ... another few minutes finds me going through the cupboards like a plague of locusts.

K, I must return to ye olde salt mines. Love to all!

Well, all in all, I did very well today.
Never went to the vending machine and avoided all candy dishes.

At one point of very high stress ( I realized I had made a major error!)
I seriously thought " What a day not to be able to binge"... and even wondered if I should find some privacy if I needed to compose myself.

But.... I decided to wait for the other shoe to fall and find out how awful the message back from the office would be.... and it was very supportive....
That of course, I didnt mean to make the mistake and luckily it was found quickly.

Why do is it so easy for some to just shrug and say " oh well, ".... yes, I know I';m human but I sure like to do things right .... all of the time....

Ah well.

So.

DH takes a very early flight for business tomorrow. He'll be back tomorrow evening and will be tired as he will be getting up to be at the airport for 5 am.


Yes, lightbulb that keeps lighting.... I like that concept.
Too bad I can't remember to keep it lit.


!

So, another pleasant day behind me. Saw the movie "Waitress", enjoyed. Slightly cloudy here at the moment, weather was SO perfect yesterday and to be nice today I think. HOT tomorrow so I must run today, hide tomorrow.

Feeling healthier than in a long time. Must keep working on that.

Lightbulb moments, ah yes. And so many of mine are repeats.

Picnic today - looking forward to it but will have to remind me that I can't snarf everything in sight. Concentrat on people not food and I'll make it.

Catching up with friend sounds like a treat to look forward to, Arabella. Sort of reminds me of the countdown to the Irishman meetup. Any good story here?

Well, laundry calls. And other drear stuff needed to support the "exciting" moments. Thrill of the day - taking the car in for new tires. Ugh!

But I did make a decision yesterday that I've long postponed and wasted a lot of thinking time on. Progress of a sort.

Hello all.....

was ravenous yesterday morning and wound up eating breakfast and lunch together....
and I might have hit on something.... I was not really hungry at lunch....

hmmmmm

"Do you have a fear of heights?"

Hi ladies. I have been in denial. But everything I had lost is back on again. I need to be in some kind of group to be accountable. I didn't want to be a slave to a diet. I thought maybe I could eat like a normal person. Nope, not to that point yet. Can't excersice unless I am dieting either. Tomorrow I will be back on the band wagon. I have a bratty baby right now or I might just start tonight. lol I "think" I will be joining WW again this week, paying for meetings. My house in NV is in escrow, FINALLY! It is suppose to close Friday. Being broke is AWFUL on the waist band. I tend to eat away my worries. I have missed you but I wasn't brave enough to come back here without hitting bottom again. Hubby got a motorcycle this past week and he took a picture of me on it, and I saw the picture and I cried. That is NOT me! I got rid of my big clothes and I refuse to buy more so I have no choice but to lose it again. I hope I can jump in the convo without reading a million pages I missed out on. If I have missed something REALLY important, PM me please. Thank you! Husbands are REALLY hard on a diet. lol

The trek here wasn't too hard. My teenager is back at home. My baby turns 1 in a week. We are broker than broke paying for 2 residences for 6 months. But all in all, everything is fine except my self confidence. lol Missed you all!

Hello all!!

Spent the weekend doing laundry and taking naps. Both DH and I were off which was a treat. Did have to see the vet for an flea bite that got chewed up but we were told we got there early....

Watched the "Queen" yesterday and was very teary throughout.....


Flower! I'm with you ! I don't want to buy clothers either!
Lets drink water and get more activity in today.....
AND don't forget, you've been thru lots and lots of stress lately....
Coping with food may not be good for our waistlines but at least its better than some other coping skills!


Rain starting here so I am off.....

Hugs to all Royals!!
