Good evening!!!!
This is going to be kind of short and fragmented, I am trying to respond and also watch the news about those miners trapped in Pennsylvania. How awful- my prayers are with them and their families. Dh had it right when I asked him if he thought that they were still alive or not. His response was that this country could use some good news (post 9/11, and all the economic troubles).
So, I watch and type at the same time.
Jackie- gee, I hope that you did not think I was chastising you for not posting! (sorry if I came off that way
). I was just concerned, that is all. And glad to hear that you are ok! Sounds like you are having a lot of fun. Good for you!!! And WTG on losing a pound. Better down than up!
Michele- good to hear from you too!! (sorry, I caught ya the other day!) Sounds like you are surviving the chicken pox- and must be on the downhill side of it. Are you going to get the vaccine for it? It is dangerous for an adult to get chicken pox- I do not mean to second guess your Dr- I am just concerned for your health. And a belated happy bday to your Dd, chicken pox and all!!!!! BTW- if you can't find that Celestial Seasonings tea, they have an 800# and do sell over the phone. Not sure about a web site (in reference to that herbal iced tea).
Spryng- Mel did us all a favor mentioning the journal. That is one of the keys to keeping on WW, and it really does help!!!! Hang in there. You have done great before losing and will do so again! In a way it is good that you gained 2 # (does everyone think I am nuts????) enough to give you a gentle kick in the right direction but not too much to get off!!!
Sassy- what is it, something in the air with problems eating??? (Me too!). Good for you, getting in your workouts! Even if the eating is not "op"- at least getting excercise in is doing some good for you! Are you drinking enough water? Getting enough sleep ( you were hoping for a nap the other day). I know that I stress eat - or just can't resist food as easily when I am tired.
Gotta take care of yourself, ok? Oh, my 6 yr old is a blabber mouth (takes after her momma, I am afraid) and she interrupts.
After many, many tries, I have told her that what she has to say is important to me, but that I will NOT listen until there is a natural break in the conversation. When she barges in, I hold up my index finger (very discreetly so I do not look like a fool)- which tells her that I know she has to tell me something- and that she must wait for her turn. It has taken awhile (and some tears from someone who did not want to wait) but she is learning to hold her thought. Dunno if that helps you!!
Latisia- get settled in soon and stop back and visit again!
Hope your relocation is going smoothly.
Karen, you busy lady!! I love Walmart's craft/sewing section too.
I just found out that they have crochet cotton too! Although I still will have to go to AC Moore for the burgundy/navy colors I need for my kitchen. I need more to make a potholder from a new pattern that I just got!
I hear ya too, it is so much easier to get the work out in before the kids get up. I will have to get back into that schedule, another heat wave is coming east, and this beautiful weather we have had- cool, dry and with a light breeze- is going. Glad that you had a good day with your eating!
How is Oprah's book? Are you finding it helpful?
Well, I need some sleep. No walk today, but I did a bit better with my eating. I hope that this week goes a bit more slowly.
Life is just too hectic here........
Have a great nite!! Drink your water!
And for someone who said this was going to be short, I can sure blabber on and on.................
