Enjoy the kiddos,
Cottage! Have you found unsweetened cherries? I use the sweetened ones, sparingly, but wish I could find unsweetened ones. They are SO sweet already--I don't know why they add sugar!
Nessa, I'm sending tons of prayers and good vibes your way.
Can you feel all the love surrounding you, hon?
Feel free to wave anytime...we'd rather see a tiny bit of you than none at all!
Cyndi,
Schmoodle,
TK
Kierie, I'm glad you're posting!
Sometimes we just get too busy, but I find that when I avoid posting here I'm usually trying to do something that I know isn't beneficial to my body and I'm avoiding talking about it.
Glad you're reading the Beck book. I find it's really good for pushing me to be honest with myself.
Natalie's Mom, I'm so sorry about your great aunt.
It's so hard when they go, even when they're in their 90s. I'm glad your grandma will get to meet Gracie, though! How old is Gracie? Sounds like you're still in the "no sleep" part of early motherhood!
Sorry about that...hopefully you and Natalie can catch a nap this morning? BTW, oddly, DH's aunt's two daughters are named Natalie and Grace...and N is older than G. Isn't that funny? Stay strong during shiva and focus on visiting. Maybe if you keep your arms full of baby, you won't be able to have your hands full of food!
Meowee is one lucky lady, Miss Ruth!
Hope you all have fun today and that M fills up on Hershey snuggles!
LC and enjoy the new patio set! What fun! Bbques are really easy to keep OP. Lots of grilled veggies, homemade coleslaw or WW pasta salad, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, grilled lean meats. Yum!
Twynn! Congrats on doing such a great job passing up all that stuff...I bet you feel a LOT better than you would if you'd eaten it.
Have you tried Stevia in your coffee? Or perhaps agave nectar (in P2?)?
Kim, you gorgeous girl,
on all your hard work! You're doing great! I would SO join you on the shoe shopping!
Gonna, I can't wait to read your one-year thread.
Congrats! Love your avatar...what a cutie-pie!
Nessa, I had terrible swelling issues with my leg for almost 9 months after I injured it. Definitely check with your doctor, but in the meantime, try to elevate the left leg when you're sitting. I carried a pillow around with me everywhere, as annoying as it was!
Simulposting,
Heather! Hope you have a great day! I'm so glad Kia is okay and that she had a chance to start a family before this happened. Will they help her through her early menopause?
My muscles are sore from Tuesday's strength training--but I agree with you, it's a good hurt.
Me:
I feel surprisingly cheerful on such a gloomy-looking day. It might be the beautiful weather and the lack of need for a coat!
I'm having a group of friends over for a little get together a week from Saturday, and I'm torn between my need to work in the garden this weekend and the need to organize/clean/tidy the house!
No idea what we'll do, but I think I need to get DH's behind moving tonight on stain treating our pup's piddle spots on the rug in preparation for steam cleaning this weekend. Our pup has had some incontinence issues and we thought she'd gotten better for a while only to realize she was hiding her piddles behind a pile of big floor pillows!
We have our work cut out for us...
This is the last normal week of school here at the community college and they've been having food giveaways all week! Yesterday was ice cream, ,but I was okay avoiding it. Today, however, they are grilling out and I am such a sucker for hot dogs!
I must be strong and eat my perfectly lovely lunch from home!
Off to the post office after work and then to the gym. I think I'm making some kind of pork/peanut sauce/soba noodles dish for dinner. Hope everyone has a great day!
Just keep on, and eventually this stuff will come off!
