Mornin' everyone! Lots of
rain here too.
Cottage, your morning sounds divine!
Glad you finally got some rain! There's a shop like the one you described in the downtown area of DH's hometown in Wisconsin. It's divine and there
are definitely lots of temptations!
But I did find some great SBD-safe things among the aisles...especially whole grain items and some sugar free sauces/salsas. Maybe your shop has some of that, too? That scone sounds very yummy. I love anything pumpkin!
Hey,
Cat! Yeah, I've had the same thought. Even worse, my favorite alcohol, rum, is made from molasses!
Still, a little bit now and then can't hurt that much...especially when it comes with veggies!
I'm glad you had such a great afternoon...it sounds just wonderful!
I hope it gets warmer for you--I had no idea it could get that cold down there!
Ruth, glad you're home!
We missed you 'round here, but you totally deserved the time away. Bet Hersh was thrilled to see Mom!
I'm totally drooling over your quilt fabrics...buying fabric is one of my (many) obsessions. Feel like telling us about some of your purchases? I'm all ears!
Don't stress about the pounds. They'll fall off now that you're home and back to routine.
Kara, I never even thought about the huge time difference for you!
Wow! I'm glad you had such a great evening--it's really hard, sometimes, to volunteer when it seems like a chore, even if you know you're doing a good thing. Hope today is better for you (or did you already do "today?")!
Me:
Oy! I was just telling my therapist that times when DH are away are nice because they remind me that I can get along on my own. DH sets the alarm for me each morning since he gets up earlier. I set it last night for myself. This morning, I woke up and thought, "I hope it's like 5 or something so I can go back to bed for a while..." and checked the clock to see 7:59 (I'm due at work at 8:00...)!!!
Oy!!! Thankfully, our bedroom clock is set about 15 min fast, so I got to work about 4 min late (the same time as my coworker, funny enough!), but still!
I hate being late!
I guess the good thing is that I still made time to grab clothes for the gym so I can go after work. That's really working out well for me...it's become a routine, and not even one I mind that much. I'm a little concerned that I need to change the type of workout more so that I won't get into a rut. Mostly I'm using the elliptical...
I went to the nutrition clinic yesterday. I hadn't been in a month because my schedule and my counselor's hadn't jived. Anyways, I was expecting a big loss since it had been such a long time and my scale at home has been looking pretty good. Plus my clothes are getting looser, significantly. I was SO depressed to hear that in a month I'd only lost 1.5 lbs of fat and had gained a pound of muscle, for a grand total of 1/2 lb loss!
Uggh! He did say I seemed to have more fluid than normal, but that doesn't count for much. I just feel so frustrated that I'm not at least losing a pound a week...especially since I've had no major slip-ups and have been getting my exercise in, at least 3 times a week. I'm supposed to concentrate on getting that fourth time in...I have to figure out a plan for that. I think I might try going on Thursday after my volunteer time. I'm trying to focus on the fact that I
had a loss rather than on how
tiny that loss was...
Hope everyone has a GREAT day! Stay dry!
