Hey Gals!!!!
Cottage - I know what you mean about barren developments. We saw one where each home had at least an acre of land. Not one Tree. Not one fence .. just flat grass.. It looked so sad. DH and I are going out this afternoon to look at another 6 or so sites and we'll stop at his favorite waterin hole for dinner.. I have a menu here so I've already decided on my dinner - and my favorite beverage (besides CAWFEE a course :
) is Ice Tea... so a house salad with grilled chicken
Ruth: how do you do it?? your days are jam packed! The meadowpalooza sounds like it will be a blast! July was very rough! I gained 6 pounds, but no use looking back and beating myself up.. I've been OP since Monday and feel great.
RNMOM: I hope the time left of your son's tour goes quickly for him.. Our neice just finished hers, and we felt like a burden was lifted ..Enjoy your 5 days off!!! The MOA is massive... I spent most of my time at Camp Snoopy and in Legoland! Wear good sneakers and by the time yer tour is over you easily walked 5 miles!
Jalene! Oh yes, there are some really wonderful recipes on our site.. Some have made it into my monthly rotation.. If it wasn't so bloody hot I'd be whipping up a pot of Barb's chili
Scully: I struggle too with food vs exercise.. Good with one-not so with the other... If I dont feel like it , I'll make myself get on the treadmill for 10 mins, and usually once I get to that point I'm committed to doing my 45-60 minutes. That loft bed is way cool! What a wonderful way to remember your losses Scully
Tammy:
You're not nuts darlin' I couldn't have children, so my cairn terriers are my babies. I was devastated when we lost our first one.Muffy was very sick all her life but gave us 13 years of joy. We had her cremated and we keep her in our bedroom. Soon after we got 2 little ones..
I'm keeping my calories to between 1200 and 1600 .. with healthy food choices I'm not having any problem feeling satisfied.
grasshopper: I think you are doing fine..especially recognising that you need protein and good carbs
enjoy yer walk.. My 2 dogs go out in the backyard, and soon return..its tooo hot even for them!
Soon: WHAT A NUTJOB!!! :kick: back on the beach sweetie!!!!!
Jesse: oooh that recipe sounds delish! I hope it comes out !
on supporting local farms! I can't beleive the difference in taste color and textures of some of the veggies and fruits...more and more I am gravitating towards the organic section in the stores, and stopping at the road side markets!
Barb: I'm proud of you too!!!
Enjoy what's left of the day girls... DH is nudging me that it's time to go on our land hunt !
