Well Good Morning!

Where are all the chickadees hiding?

I haven't felt too hot this week, even tried to make myself walk at noon yesterday, but once I got to the mall I just couldn't make myself put one foot in front of the other - isn't that pitiful. Don't know what the deal was, but it was. Guess this cold was just hanging on?

But this morning I got up very early and did my 3 mile walk with Leslie and I feel so much better!!!!

Hey? has anybody tried the new vitamin by One A Day called "Weight Smart"? Three different people told me about them yesterday so I picked up a bottle and took a vitamin at noon. I usually only take B complex and Calcium, but figure a daily multi vitamin that is geared towards a woman with some added things to help with weight loss (ha) can't hurt.

They have added "EGCG (from Green Tea extract) to enhance your metabolism and extra levels of Chromium and important B Vitamins to help convert food to fuel, and Vitamins C, E, B6 and B12 to help support a healthy heart". You take 1 a day with food. Anyway the three people that told me about it said they all noticed more energy and less appetite so I figured "what the hey". I will let yall know what I think.

Also last night on our local news, one of the main reporters shared her story. She has lost 50 lbs in 10 months on weight watchers and walking 45 minutes 5 days a week. I was so tickled for her, but I found myself feeling jealous! *sigh*

Oh by the way - I know yall have noticed we have not heard from "cin" since last week. I got an email from her this morning saying that they had a bad ice storm last weekend they are still without power or heat. They were running an extension cord from neighbors house to use their computer real quick and she wanted to let us know that all is fine. She also said she is getting the stitches out today and going to lunch and having to shower at the neighbors. Sounds like they are roughing it to me.

I hope everybody has a great day!

hugs,
Cathy

Hi Cathy and those to come,


Miss Cathy.. I came into fatchat last nite, but you never answered... snif. I guess you were away from the computer. Sorry we didn't touch base.

I take a multivitamin every morning. I don't get any energy from it though. It's just for making sure my body gets what it needs. While I don't think I get energy from it, I do think taking the vitamins regularly has helped me not to get sick. I found a thread about the One a Day Weight smart. Check out Suzanne's post.

Thanks for telling us about Cin. Hope she is back soon.

Nothing much going on here today. Up at 5, aerobics, breakfast, commute and now work. I just finished my one cup of iced mocha and am starting on the water on my desk. It's a crystal clear winter morning here today. Too clear and bright.. painful on the ol eyes!! Tonight is my class at church, but am thinking I may not go.. still deciding. I wish my life was morte interesting so I could regale you with stories.. but it isn't.

Hope everyone has a nice day... 1.5 days til weekend!!!

Hey Linda - im sorry I did not see you last night. Do you know that I popped into chat at about 9:20 my time last night, and at almost 10:00 the night before and the place was vacant both times. So typical, I finally get there and everybody is gone - rats! I can't believe you were there and I didn't see you??? I have no idea why that is because I just popped in for a few minutes but never left my computer while I was logged in.

Who knows when I will be able to pop in again at night! ;-)

I'm gonna check out the post you sited Linda - thanks!

hugs,
Cathy

Morning gals.

Cathy I did a newslett on Green Tea one month and all of the benefits it has. That stuff is wonderful. If I still have it on my computer I will try to PM it to you.

Linda I love the crystal clear days like that. I love to just sit outside and soak the sun in.

I have another landscaper comeing ot my house after work to give me another bid. I just got the second one faxed to me and the guys didn't listen to what I told him. He only drew out the fornt and I need it down both side of my house too. Oh well.

Not much going on here today either. Just waiting for the rain. I hear tomorrow is going to be a downpour.

Greetings,

Quick hello then I've got to get the kids organised. Heavy rain overnight and cold thid morning. This is still meant to be our summer and theirs snow in the mountains...I'm back in winter clothes today!

Lots to do but this is my day with just youngest DD so I look forward to the time when she's asleep and the house is quiet. I love sitting down with a book and there is no noise...it's the only time of the week I get like that.

Hope you all have a good day I'll try and catch you later

Good morning all,

Not too much going on here....still have the sore throat, cough, stuffed head,some achiness & feeling tired. DH gave me a zinc lozenge when I went to bed last night.....had to wait for it to melt....so I am tired from getting to sleep later than usual last night.

I have a class to go to this afternoon.....Living with Depression....think I would rather curl up on the couch & have a nap......but I didn't get to the class last week....because I was so depressed.....so I had better go to this one.

After I turn the light box off in the morning....the room feels dark....even though the light is on in the room....maybe we need brighter lights in our rooms.

The weatherman said we had 15 cm. of snow yesterday.....that is over a foot!!!....that is a lot.....now it has turned cold....it is -10C now....now that is starting to get cold!!!!!

Cathy....I know what you feel like with your cold....no energy....that is the way I feel now.

Cin......I hope your power is back on soon.

Hi Kemp.......have a great day everyone....I almost forgot....hi Linda.....and to others who haven't posted yet.
