Kathy, not journalling was one of the biggest perks of Core for me. I hate it. I was going to do it this week, if I didn't lose last Saturday, but I got a break. It's the last resort for me.
vickie, i hope your tests shows good results. you've worked hard. you should have a payoff. i read what you wrote about drinking water being more critical with core than flex. i think you're right. i need to chug some now. (i hope i'm pleasantly surprised friday.)
kathy, sounds like this is PLAN K. (for kathy) i can tell you're focused now with your new plan. good success to you!
my arms are still vibrating from that tiller. surely, i'll lose some flab off them. curtis is gone to the dentist. when he gets back i may go to a local nursery to get "liquid fence." i hear it works to keep deer out of your beds. i hope so. they've already started nibbling on my rosebushes.
Cher, I know what you mean. I have been in the habit of journaling for so long that it's second nature, like buckling my seatbelt. Plus I have to write a list anyway each day so that at night, I'll know what to fix and take to work the next day for lunch and snacks. I have a lot of things here but they're mostly canned emergency things. I'll just have to concentrate extra hard on doing it without writing it down. Actually I guess I can still make a list without it becoming a journal! Just a yellow sticky would work well enough.
Sandra, those arms are getting a workout whether they want it or not!! I've never heard of liquid fence but I wonder if it would work inside??? I'd like to keep the dogs from going upstairs during the day.
We do but the opening is wide and we were having a hard time trying to figure it out without permanently drilling into the post or wall. We thought maybe where the stairs turn around and go back up, we could put one there, and install it permanently. It wouldn't show and they'd only be able to get up halfway. It's a thought ... that is if the liquid fence doesn't work.
Kathy, try an electric fence! Imagine your family's surprise when they try to go up the stairs. Oh yeah guys, I forgot to tell you about the electric fence. Sorry about the burns. Heh heh. (nervous laughter)
OK, maybe I'm a little wacky today.
I'm off to make some doll clothes right now - I'm working on a beautiful pink gossamer gown. I think it'll go in the "bee-yew-ti-ful" category.
Kathy, we have the same problem with our dog/cat. I found a really nice wood pressure type gate. I don't remember how wide it went though. We couldn't use it because we have a railing on one side. I think it was Dr. Foster and Smith. How wide of a gate do you need. I didn't want to mount the gate permanently either.
I can't remember how wide. I bought one that had a bar across the bottom that sat on the floor, and then the pressure things on the side went against the wall. I'm tempted to just get the one that installs permanently. If we ever move, it'll just be someone else's problem.
Very funny, Angela! I had to laugh at that one! Of course, you know *I* would probably be the one who got burned!
i know. i know. i need a life. i was just looking at what the temp is at each of your parts of cyberspace. it's almost as hot here in montana as it is in texas. not humid but lots of hot sun.
No swimming today! It's been overcast all day and now it is actually raining. Straight down heavy rain. It started about 4 minutes ago and I'm hoping it goes like this for at least a couple of hours. But, I'll take what we can get. It's supposed to be REAL hot here starting Friday and all weekend. I'm sure I'll get plenty of swimming in then.
curtis is gone to the dentist. when he gets back i may go to a local nursery to get "liquid fence." i hear it works to keep deer out of your beds. i hope so. they've already started nibbling on my rosebushes.
