Here we go again . . . it's a brand new month and a brand new start to our continuing journey to better health and fitness . . . to our new chat thread gang.
Yesterday turned into a bit of a nightmare of a day -- seems my buddy LouLou is the one in 50,000 people who has an adverse reaction to the dye (or maybe the other liquid they made here drink) they pumped into her before her weird cat scan yesterday -- she almost died. Anyway, we obviously spent the whole day at the hospital but everything is okay now and she is home again and resting comfortably.
Today, we are starting a long weekend here in Nova Scotia and also in most other parts of Canada so naturally the forecast is for 3 days of solid rain. So far it isn't raining but it's close to it.
Hope everybody else has a great weekend . . . see you later . . .
Good morning. I love a new thread. August is going to be one hot month for sure. It was 102 here with the heat index yesterday and going to be the same. We're trying to cool down the house really good this morning. No cooking for me inside. This evening we grill.
Meowee- Sorry about your friend. Hope she is resting lots.
Did y'all think I had deserted you??????? NOT!!!! Just a lot going on...Sorry, and I'll try to not let it happen again!
Things down this way are the same....HOT, HUMID, and NOT ENOUGH RAIN!!
Kate is fine, in fact, she had to take care of me last night. I had to take a muscle relaxer, and it absolutely knocked my on my arse. I was falling every where, couldn't get up etc. She came rolling down the hall in her wheelchair, helping me get up, and believe me, that was a task! BUT....she succeeded and I was in the bed by 9 p.m. Needless to say, I was up by.... 3:30a.m. and here I am. My knees are so sore that I can't hardly walk, but hoping that will subside. There are rug burns though.....
Hope everyone is doing well, at least better than me! Haven't read the back posts, but will and get back to everyone when I do.
OH....and if you haven't seen the movie:
DEFINATELY, MAYBE
DON'T MISS THIS ONE...It's one of the sweetest movies I've ever seen!
Glad to see you BOB . . . wish I could send you some of our rain.
I thought it was raining pretty steadily yesterday, but that was nothing compared to the sheets of it that are falling this morning -- looks like the sky has sprung a major leak. The latest forecast calls for continuing rain until at least Wednesday. Where did I put those Ark builidng plans, anyway? Oh well, at least it isn't hot at the moment. I do feel sorry for all of those across Canada who were looking forward to this long weekend and all the activities planned for it, though. For ORFs like me -- hey, good opportunity to get some inside stuff done.
Hope everybody else has good weather and a fun day on the go . . . see you soon.
Hello everyone. Just had a great late breakfast of 1/2 toasted ww bagel with light cream cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes and a banana. After eating horrible last night its good to be back on track. We're going to grill burgers tonight. Its going to be another horrible hot day again. I'll be staying in. Maybe I'll even get on the treadmill.
Bob- Oh boy its good to see you. Sounds like you had quite an experiance last night. Those pills can be something else. I just had to take some when my back went out. Hope you're okay..... Sounds like Kate is doing fine.
Meowee- Send some of that rain here too..... Hope LuLu is doing well today....
My day started too early, but at least my blood sugar was good and the scale is holding steady. So is the crummy holiday weekend weather. Tomorrow may finally see the end of the rain for a day or two.
Looks like inside stuff for me again -- got some crochet projects and some sewing projects I can play with and, if I get really bored, I can always do some laundry.
Weekend was a busy one. Spent the day in the pool yesterday, seems the place to be in the next couple days, 110 with the heat index.
Meowee, that's a lot of rain. We could use ome here for sure. Wow, glad your friend is ok now. That is scarry.
Bob, Hope you are feeling yourself today. I bet Kate is sore too! I heard that movie was cute. Will have to check PPV for it. We watched Hairspray last night. I know, I am way behind times. It was ok.
Toni, It was hot here and getting hotter. Better stay inside for the next couple days. I think it is going to cool off here by Friday. I think theya re calling for rain Wed & Thurs so I guess it will be coming your way first.
Saturday, we went to a park and walked the 1 1/2 mile track there. There was a killer hill. I didn't think I was going to make it up it. I was huffing and puffing. Rudy had to sit under a tree or two along the way. I wanted to join him. That was after our pancake breakfast. At least I stopped at 2 and took my SF syrup with me. The rest of the weekend was downhill.
Hello. Eating is good today. I need to walk on my treadmill but just don't feel like it yet. I took a big nap this afternoon. Its 101 here right now. And I have no idea with the heat index what that would be. So I'm staying inside. DH has to work in a place with no air conditioning. I feel so bad for him. Not much else happening here...
Solly- I heard to we're supposed to cool off a bit at the end of the week. I sure hope so. Sounds like you did allot of exercise this week end. Good for you.
Meowee- Well you've got lots of stuff planned. Have a good day......
Gee . . . surprise . . . it's raining. We did get about 15 minutes of sun yesterday and then right back to the rain complete with thunderstorms and even a funnel cloud that touched down not too far from here -- really strange weather for Nova Scotia.
Must go out and run between the raindrops this morning -- groceries are needed and I just cannot wait another day for a few things.
Sorry I came back and then ran back off LOL I have had alot going on and I am so ready to stick with Sugar Busting I do have one question though...what brand of ww bread do you ladies use for sandwiches?
Hello everyone. Just had a yummy garden breakfast of slice cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, 1/2 ww bagel with light cream cheese and some 2% cottage cheese. I'm loving these breakfast plates I'm makeing me. Don't know what the day has in store for me. How bout you???
meowee- Sorry you're getting so much rain. Sure wish we would and you could have some of this heat....
Christian- Good to see you back. I use Sara Lee bread. 100% whole wheat. and 45 calories a slice.
Thanks Toni! I have been craving a sandwich in this HOT weather and it hit the spot! I am going to try to make a SB tuna casserole tonight, I hope it turns out LOL
Christian- I'll be interested to hear how your tuna casserole comes out. If its good will you post the recipe here. I just had a peanut butter and SF jam sandwich and it was so good. Along with a V8 juice.
Not up to par today. Got real shakey yesterday and just felt sick at my stomach all day. Went to bed early and felt fine this morning, but by 9:30 my stomach was upset again. Ran and got some soup for lunch, just could not tolerate the salad I had brought and have drank 2 ginger ales but nothing is helping. I so wanted to gt back to the gym tonight. I may try to push myself, we will have to see.
Christian, I use a 45 calories per slice bread also. It is Health Living I beleive.
Toni, It is hot here today too but we have had some rain so now it is just an oven out there. A nap sounds so good right now
Meowee, Wow hopefully there wasn't much damage from the tornado. Hope you make it to the store w/o getting too wet.
