Chickies! I have missed you all these last few days. Life seems to get so busy sometimes...
Well, I developed a bad headache yesterday afternoon (if I were "normal" I might call it a migraine...my Dr. says I have probably been having them all my life, but no one ever dx them as migraines...could be cause I never went to the Dr. til I was 20!)...so I didn't feel well last night. Went to dinner with hubby and DD and had a chicken cesar salad and some bread sticks! Then we went to the pet store to get...you guessed it...a fish tank! A 10 gallon one this time, for a bunch of fish! Wish us luck with this venture!!
Anyway...I went to bed at 8 last night, so no exercise for my yesterday (unless you count the bazillion miles I walked at work). Naturally, I got up super early this morning (before 6)...looked out the window and saw that we got dumped on last night...like 7-8 inches of fresh snow is out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG...it's no wonder the residents are re-hanging Christmas decorations instead of Easter ones on their doors!!!!!! (TRUE!) MsRD is right...it helps to think of it being January instead of March...I'm thinking about re-doing MY Christmas tree!!! LOL!!! Maybe today will be a good day to take Kaleigh sledding! She wants to use her EasyBake OVen she got for Chrismtas today! I'm thinking about exercise...
Yesterday's food was less than perfect...HA! That's an understatement!!! I had a muffin at Kaleigh's school for breakfast...lunch was taco bar at work...I made it into a salad but lathered on the sour cream! I had 2 bowls of chocolate pudding with real whipping cream for dessert (guess I couldn't stop at one!)...and then for supper with my salad I ate about 4 breadsticks (Fazolli's). Didn't drink near enough water...maybe about 50 oz. and no exercise!
But I'm happy to report that I did get in the veggies yesterday, so that's a plus!!!
************************************************** ******** Joy...so glad you are going to be looking out for me today...I'm planning a huge "work" day today....gonna use Fly Lady's Control journal to start on one room! I'll pick the dining room and if there's energy left over (among all the trillion things I have to do) I'll start on the LR. Gonna leave the kitchen for another weekend...it's got waaaaay too much going on in there!
I haven't planned any special food today, but I am going to stay away from my "triggers" (girl scout cookies...there may be some left, but I haven't checked!...chocolate that's looming in Kaleigh's cupboard...chips...) I've got plenty of healthy snacks and foods to choose from around here so there's NO EXCUSE!!! As far as exercise...we'll see...If we go sledding, I probably won't do any specific routine. Blah, blah, blah! Sorry to ramble here...
Hope you got back on track after your anniversary dinner! And Happy Anniversary...how many years?
(((((((((((Mary))))))))...Hope you enjoyed the Eagles concert. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to! Really! I love the Eagles too, so that helps! I'm glad you checked in...sometimes that's the hardest part...just to say "I'm having a crappy day...please give me something to hold!" I have lots of days that are crappy...but I also have to try to remember that life happens while I'm on this journey and I just can't beat myself up about it...and find even ONE thing positive about my day and build on that! I hope that you will remember that we ALL struggle on this journey...even if we WRITE positive things, it doesn't mean that we don't feel like **** within ourselves!
I know I do! Most of the time! As I told someone yesterday (and even if you aren't "religious" you can appreciate this) that we all have our crosses to bear in life...and in mine, it is this weight! Doesn't matter HOW MUCH we weigh...but how it affects our self image, our self esteem and our motivation! Sorry to be so long winded, but I just wanted to say that we are here for you (like a tool)...that's WHY we are here...use us!!
Gabrielle...Computers can be such a pain! So proud of you for continuing what is important to you. Even if you don't get every bit of exercise in, you are at least moving and staying active! that is just great! And way to go on the $45 outfit! Can we have a sneak peek???
Beatuyseed...Welcome...and that's the spirit! Exercise every day except 2 days (a week?) That's my goal too...can't seem to get it all in, so you let me know how and when you do it!
MsRD...Great job on the calories yesterday! WooHoo! And yes..see my comments about winter (above)! Grrrrr! I'm ready to go move down with Jennifer in FL!!!! Or even GA with Lisa!!!! This morning looks like a picture perfect Christmas morning...snow hanging on the trees ever so delicately, the sun sparkling over the snow...you get the idea (and probably see the same sight out your window)! All we need is a One Horse Open Sleigh!!! LOL...Kaleigh was singing Jingle Bells last night! OH...I am soooooooo sick of winter!!! Kaleigh again whined at me last night about doing my exercise! She's too funny! And a great motivator!
((((((((((((Lucia))))))))))) I'm sorry you are still feeling "flat" or depressed! Sometimes it does take a while to shake some things. A death of someone close does shut us down for a while, but it's our soul and body's way of saying "time to reflect"! You will get over this hump soon! I know it's Autumn where you are and sometimes the shorter days make us feel that way, too! They do me anyway! Come and write to us! I miss your posts when you don't post! Know that we are here for you when you need us!
Elisha...your food looked really good from Thursday...a good mix! I only wish all MY days looked like that!
But like I said above, life does happen sometimes when we go along on this journey! Not that that is any excuse, just how I feel! Great job on the exercise! Hope you are up and exercising today!!! C'mon get up and do it, chickie!
(((((((((Ms. Lisa)))))))))))) Chickie! Now I know you feel good, but do you really think you have to start taking care of everyone else just because you have a little more energy????????? LOL! Remember not to overdo it!
I am sooooooo proud of you...2 more lbs!!! That is just great!!!! You are going to be in that bathing suit in NO time!!!
Let's catch up this weekend, ok? Have been missing you!
Jennifer...You promised you would check in!!!
I know you are busy...but PLEASE come and post! We all miss you so much!!! It's been days since we heard from you and we all want to give you a HUG!!!!!!!!!!
If I missed anyone...please forgive me!! I'm here...thinking of all of you and wondering how I am going to get everything done today! I guess I better start getting busy, huh? I'll take a picture of our yard today after the snowfall last night!
Hugs to all!
