Hi gals! Week FOUR already. I can't believe it! I'm on and off, mostly ON, though I get sloppy with not planning and picking impulsively here and there. I have no-bake cookies laying around too.....Mike's last request Sunday night before his oral surgery. Which went really well, BTW. He is reasonably comfortable but VERY swollen. He looks funny. Don't tell him I said that!
I got up this morning, took the kids to daycare, Mike is home today but is supposed to go back to work tomorrow. But weird thing, I went back to bed after taking the kids and only just got up at like 11:30! Sheesh. Must have needed the rest. I'm at the computer eating my oatmeal, Sugar free Red bull (yes, yes, I know) water and a peach to take on my way out the door to the gym. That should hold me a few hours. Go to the gym. Come home get cleaned up. Then Mike wants to try to get out of the house for a little while, I'm thinking Smoothie King, one for his mouth, and two, I'M ADDICTED to the stuff! Do any of you go there? I get the Muscle Punch, skinny, and I'm working my way through the "additives", diet down, fiber, protein, energy, etc. Dinner should be something light, like salad plus chicken or something. I haven't been cooking cooking since Mike can't chew.
I went to the gym yesterday, but my girlfriend called my when I was just pulling up into the parking lot, so I sat there and chatted instead of going in for 20 minutes and I had to get the kids so I did 45 min cardio plus abs and that's all I took time for.
Amy~ funny question but, what kind of crown are you talking about!? LOL for your tooth? Your head? Does this have something to do with dancing? I'm kinda lost. I'm glad you concentrate your energies on taking care of yourself when you're worried about your husband. I don't know what has to happen before he figures it out. Does his drinking affect him going to work? OMG about the girls at work all due at the same time! Imagine how crazy it's going to be when they're all on LEAVE at the same time. Think of all the baby showers! Are you even getting a little baby twinge? I mean I know DH drives you nuts but sometimes that longing just comes out of nowhere. I still get pangs even though, one, the second child almost KILLED me, and two, we only planned to have two, a boy and a girl. So I know better. But still. OH, was it you who mentioned last week about those Green Bag things? I wondered if those worked to keep your produce fresh. fruit/veg goes bad quickly over here. Esp bananas and salad. So thanks AUD for the advice about the bagged salad too, I like the really dark green leafy lettuce and usually buy that and chop myself.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARI! I saw a post on the 100 lb club! Hope you're having FUN, you young thing! WHOOP it up!
Jeni, I laughed my butt off imagining you on the tread with a boob popped out! You tell the funniest stories, I just pictured the whole thing! Great on Mackie's swimming! I feel embarrassed, Robert is only just learning to swim, and he's EIGHT. I just dropped the ball and never signed him up. Maybe we'll do winter-time indoor lessons to get caught up for next summer. Plus I'll get Rachel started early and not wait like I did for Robert. Have a good day in training, I kinda like meetings, if they're not too boring, its getting paid and getting off the floor for a change. I do better OP when I'm working too.
MTiger....step away from the funnel cakes. You can do it! Try to eat BEFORE you go to the fair! Good luck! I have a hard time resisting too. But the prices usually turns me off first. Maybe just don't take any extra $$$$ then you CAN'T buy any of it?
Nixie, welcome back! You get to go on the nicest vacations! I'm so jealous! Plus you know I'm jealous you were at a casino! LOL
Back to school in FOUR weeks! Where did this summer go!?
Aud, hope you're still gung ho! Where's this week's inspirational music!? I love that you're having a contest at work, so are we, I think I mentioned it last week. Let's BOTH win our contests! Ours runs until November 1st, how long is yours?
I hope the newbies come back this week, I'm sorry I can't remember all the names, but I LOVED the story about the woman and her husband, the runners whose hubby had the surgery and now they're both getting back into running and races. Such inspiration.
Hi WarMaiden! I saw you peek in last week!
I always worry I miss someone. Just know that I love ya'll and I'm forever your cheerleader. xoxoxox Michelle....GET TO THE GYM
