Cottage, I hope you feel better soon! It's awful to feel sick and have to trudge through snow to get to work, too! I love the tea idea!
Loriann, I hope things go well in court. Your kiddo's father sure sounds like deadbeat.
Don't stress the 3 pounds. I know it's hard, but there's no way you could have gained that much weight overnight. Just stick to the plan and be patient...you'll see the scale change.
:luck: to you on your exam,
TN! Sounds like you're well prepared. Congrats on making so many healthy changes in your life and reaping the results. The exercise classes sound amazing; there are so many wonderful, inexpensive ways to get fit when you're in school! Hope you enjoy them! Water Aerobics is one of my favorite classes ever--you have no idea that you're actually exercising until the next day, when you're sore!
Spiritmage, you might want to include more veggies with your breakfast. That should make you feel much more full. Good luck with the snack change...it's great that you're paying attention to your body, trying new things, and are willing to wait a while before assessing the results!
Good luck with the shoveling,
LC! Use proper form and protect your back, okay?
I hear you,
Cyndi, but we don't have nearly as much snow as you do, I'm sure. Spring will sure be a welcome sight this year!
Hon, you are SO close to goal!!!
That's awesome! It's really, really hard to lose those last couple of pounds. It's like your body is saying, "Are you
really sure about this? Are you
serious?
" They'll come off, eventually.
Hi,
Schmoo!
Ah,
Ruth, I'm jealous of all the quilting! I have a quilt to finish that I put away somewhere before Christmas. I need to find it and get back into it! Love the attached hanging...and I think country stuff is wonderful!
Oooh,
Kara, grammar and phonics are my favorites!
So, I'd love it if you'd tell me how you make the crockpot oatmeal...that sounds like a fantastic idea!
Hon, feel free to vent anytime...it's always good for us to hear that someone else feels like we do, and many of us can totally sympathize with that situation!
Stephanie!
I love food porn...
Hope you can convince DH to lose the weight in a healthy way.
The gym is a great start!
Gonna, you are so motivated!
: Good for you!
Kim, I hope you get everything done so you can just focus on the trip!
The "no train whistles" comment made me
and think about that one hotel room in "My Cousin Vinnie."
I'm glad no one got hurt last night.
Me:
Wow...a student came in just as I got started on personals, so this took a while!
I'm feeling kind of achy and sore, both from some vicious sore throat I have and from a fall I had yesterday in the snow.
I think it might have frightened our poor dog more than it did me, as she's making me go first a lot more on our walks and giving me a wide berth in case I fall on her, I guess! I slipped a lot yesterday--we didn't get a ton of snow, but it sure was slippery!
Gym and faith formation class tonight. I'm hoping they don't cancel class as we only have one make-up day and it's already used up from the first class, which was cancelled. There's not a ton of snow out there, but it's still falling and with tons of elderly people coming to the talk, who knows what they'll do.
Last night I really wanted to go back downstairs and eat something else after I'd had my dessert and was already upstairs for the night. I was journaling and tried to write about it in hopes that it would convince me to stay put, but it didn't. Thinking about it later, even though I journaled about what I thought was making me want to eat, I
didn't journal about how it made me feel. Maybe that's why it didn't make me feel better?
My dear friend Mel had her baby yesterday afternoon. He's an absolute doll and has a full head of dark hair, complete with little sideburns!
DH asked, "Did he say, 'Thank you verrah much' after they pulled him out?"
She named the little guy Carter Allen. I think that's a really neat name! She loves that his clothes (many of which are Carter's brand) have his name on them already!
Have a great day everyone!
