Hi All!

hi all.

I have been out of town since Thursday morning helping my mom at a rummage sale. I got rid of lots of stuff, made around $200 (some was ds'). I did not journal while gone - so busy I didn't take the time - and I know I didn't eat right. sigh.

Tech - sorry to hear your grandma is doing so poorly.

Angel - feel better!

Lauren - congrats on your loss!

Hi Everybody!!

I'm back! I finally felt good this weekend so I took advantage of it today and cleaned the house from top to bottom! And I mean clean!! Started in the kitchen..cleaned out all of the old junk moldy food and wiped down the fridge, disassembled and cleaned the stove, micro, counters, cabinet knobs, dishwasher, table, floors, etc. I was on a roll! I even cooked dinner! (I really dont like cooking too much but decided to just throw something in the crock pot.) Then I dusted and vacuumed everything, windexed all windexable things, did umteen loads of laundry, then headed outside and gave the dog a bath and cleaned my patio. My feet started to hurt so I called it a day and took a break to watch some Tv, and now here I am!

This week really sucked. I felt lousy all week. I didn't even bowl on Wed. I did manage to get myself to Jury Duty on Tuesday. Thursday, same stuff different day. Friday I was still somewhat feeling lousy but I did manage to get my rear in gear for our Jump Rope performance and sale. We had a concert in the park thing and the kids got to perform beforehand and then in the middle of the band taking a break and we also ran the snack bar to raise some $$ for our trips to regionals and nationals next year. I go free because I am a certified Judge, but the kids don't so I do what I can to help out so we can get as much $$ raised so the kids parents will not have to pay much if any at all. At least that is our goal for our next regionals and nationals. My daughter got to do a singles performance & she did well! She did some doubles and tricks and stuff. She had people hooting and hollaring! Hubby got a video too!

Saturday was family bowl and then dinner. Bowled a 138, 212, 165. We got home at 8 PM and I felt so lousy that I went straight to bed! I must of needed the sleep cause I slept until 6 am. Now Im beat and ready to go to bed but I have type itis so I'm typing a book for you before I turn in for the night. I am going to attach some jump rope pics too for ya in my picture thread. Tomorrow, I am going to attempt to try and go get the truck smogged so I acn pay for the renewal tags, go to Costco, PetsMart, Home Depot, Wally World, and then home and attempt to try and plant my trees. We shall see though..I am just hoping I don't feel lousy. Have so much to catch up on from being sick almost all week.

Anyhow, that's the weekend scoop...Time for bed..my feet are crying!

Night from Arizona!

hi all. This morning I played in a tennis league - loved it. Hope to get into one of the leagues on a regular basis. Great exercise too - 90 minutes of tennis!

Angel - woohoo on all the cleaning!

gotta run...

Hey Noodles, congrats on becoming a mod! I'm sure you'll do a great job!! Post wherever you think is best! If you want to move your "home-base" of pics and posts there, that's fine...we can always hop over and check on you!!

Rabbit, wow, 90 min. of tennis sounds very rigorous!! Good for you!

Hello All,

Well this last week has been awful. As I think I said, my grandma passed away on Tuesday night we had the funeral home visitation on Friday afternoon and the funeral on Saturday. Then my BIL's mom died on Thursday night, she'd been in a coma for a month and it wasn't unexpected, but still she was only 54 and it was hard particularly on my BIL. To help out my sister we took home her 13 mo old son for the night Saturday after the funeral, since my mom's her usual baby sitter and she was pretty whipped from organizing her mother's funeral.

Anyway, we had a 13 mo old who crawls pretty fast in our non-childproofed house with our 2 70lb dogs and 2 flights of stairs, it made for an interesting evening. We gave him back after the funeral on Sunday (BIL's mom's).

Basically the weekend sucked....I didn't track my food at all, but I don't think I did too bad. I didn't get in much water though so I'm feeling that this week. We're going to miss WW tonight because I've got training for work, so hopefully I can get back on track for next week.

Noodles - Glad you're feeling better.

Rabbit - $200 is nothing to sneeze at. Good luck getting back on track.

LBH - Congrats on the loss .

Well sorry this turned into such a book but I couldn't seem to help it. Have a great day everyone.

hello.

I was sloppy with my eating yesterday. I ate a late lunch because I was running around and let myself get too hungry. Plus with doing 45 min of weights & abs, then 90 minutes of tennis, I was starving. Anyway, went 2 over and used 4 APs. Trying to be more careful today.

Lauren - Yes I guess it is rigorous because I can feel it in my legs.

Tech - I am so sorry to hear about the losses in your family.

Hi All,

Tech, sorry to hear about your grandma and your BIL's mom. I will keep your family in my prayers. At least you got a little taste of what it's like to have a baby around!! Any plans??

Rabbit, I hate it when I let myself get too hungry. Maybe make sure you bring a bag of carrots or something with you when you're out and about??

I'm just waiting to see if I have an interview today...see the kid chat thread for more details.

Have a great day all!!

Good Morning Peeps!

My day was ok! I went to the DRS (endocrinologist) in the morning. Well, I didn't reach my goal weight of 193, but I did get to 195! YAY! She was very pleased that in 3 weeks I had lost 6 pounds! I told her it would of been more but I was sick for a week there and got almost no exercise. She went over my blood work with me...My testostrone levels are high (common with PCOS patients), but everything else looks ok. She is still concerned about my liver though because it hasn't recovered from my chemo damage so she ran another blood test, and is going to keep testing me every 2 months to catch anything if the liver decides to get worse. I am also passing small kidney stones, so if that keeps up..off to the kidney specialist I go. She put me on Metformin..500 MG 2x a day and Yasmin for the hair growth. I sure hope all of this works! I go back in 2 months...My goal is to walk in there weighing 170 this time! I can do it...I can do it...I am going to do it!!

After the DRS I ran over to my daughters GEM (Gifted Education) class and dropped off her "lawyers" suit. She was playing some part in some career day thing they had going. Then I went over to visit a friend who's moving away to New York!! BRRRRR!!! Then went and filled the prescriptions then went to Safeway and got my fruits & veggies for the week. Then I came home and took a NAP! I was so tired...seems to be the going thing lately. **sigh**

After dinner we went to the Parent Teacher conference. The kid is doing excellent, but she has bad organization skills! LOL! Ok..that she didnt get from me! (Hint hint hubby!).

Now for my disasters!! Monday I took my cordless phone outside with me while I was chopping bushes. Well, I spaced it and left it on the truck. Yesterday night I went to answer the phone...and couldnt find it...DUH Noodles..I drove off with it and it's who knows where now...probably in pieces and soaked from the . Time for a new phone!

Today I got up...walked into the kitchen and...EEKS....stepped into puddles of water every where!! Our Sparkletts cooler leaked! What a mess. I had to wake up hubby and have him help me move stuff around so I could wipe up the mess. Just want he wanted to do at 4:30 am. This is the 2nd time we have had a leaky cooler. I hope they get it right the 3rd time!! I just called them and they are giving me a free bottle to replace the loss. How sweet. (sarcasm here.)

Well everyone, have a good day! Feel free to reply back! And don't forget, if you see my little egg yolk on, I'm in the chat room. Come on by sometime!!! Someone is actually in here with me chatting! YAY!!

Tech: Sorry about your loss dear. Hang in there...

Rabbit: I WANNA PLAY TOO!! Darn...wish we lived closer together!!

LBH: Thanks for the help and kind words! I appreciate it!!

Lauren - great idea about the carrots. Sometimes I'll stop at the grocery store and pick up a banana to eat in the car. Today I think I'll take something with me as I don't have plans to go to the grocery store. I did think to make a salad last night that I could have for lunch today when I get home because it will be a late lunch again.

Off to play tennis!

Rabbit

Good Morning Folks!!

Calendar Quote-Of-The-Day...
Lord, sometimes I fail to love someone who really needs love. But I ask also, that You help me to find the love that I need. Amen."
(I like that one!!)

How was your day yesterday? I hope great! My day was your ordinary day. I took a 5 hour nap! I felt really tired all of a sudden and went to lay down but I didn't expect to sleep that long! Maybe the glucophage is making me tired..who knows.

The Sparkletts man dropped off another cooler and bottle for our flooded piece of junk one. This time they gave us a brand new cooler, so I hope it will work for 6 months! This is the 3rd cooler we have had to replace. Good thing we are renting it! Hubby was nice enough to set it up for me...Course first thing he says yesterday when he had to drink from the tap was "THIS IS AWFUL!" Now he sees why I got bottled water..

Last night was bowling night! I started off great with a 191, but went down hill!! 129 and a 117. I was starting to get really tired so that didn't help. I came home and got on the PC for a bit then went to bed. Now here I am again up at 4:30 AM...which is ok because I can get stuff done in the AM before the household wakes up.

Well, I guess that's about it for now! Everyone take care and have a good day. And remember...when you see my egg yolk lit up...I am in the chat room!

Hi All,

Noodles, Not sure about the Gloucophage, I could ask my mom...she's a CDE. Sounds like me with the bowling scores, that's why I stopped playing in leagues, I would start out OK, and by the second game, I was beat and my fingers hurt, and by the third game, the ball felt like it was 20 lbs.!! (It was only 12!)

Have you ever tried a faucet filter?? We have horrible water here, it's very hard (sucks to clean the bathroom!) We bought a faucet filter and keep a 2 gal. bottle in the fridge with cold water. I also keep 12- .5 L bottles of water in there to drink during the day. It blinks orange, then red when it needs to be changed. We change ours about every 5-6 months, and we easily go through at least 2 gal. a day.

Rabbit, I would not have the strength to go to the grocery store and buy something healthy if I was already hungry!! I'd end up with a donut or something!

I had a bad eating day yesterday...lets just say all my FP's are gone...and then some. Trying to drown myself and get rid of it by Saturday though.

Have a great day all!
