Happy Monday Ladies

Hope everyone had a great Easter and avoided he EAster baskets. My nieces always bring me a box of Peeps. I love the little critters. The kids kept asking me if they could have one so I said yes. The more they eat, the less for me. I have only had 1 so far. I really like the yellow ones and they are orange. So I am trying to convice myself that they are not as good. Of course, we had way too much food and snacks. I am still miserable today. I struggled getting to the gym this morning. I just did a circuit of machines instead of following a routine. I just was not with it today. But at least I went.

Cryle, your garden will be overtaking your house soon. I hear the melons take a lot of room. It will be so nice when things start coming "up".

Lisa, on passing up those cookies. They always say, when you have a craving, wait 15 minutes before you eat to see if it goes away. Keep up the good work.

Ellen, sounds like you had a busy weekend with the wedding and Easter. I hate when people are late. I guess you need to tell them an hour before you really want them there.

Meowee, Oh no, more snow. Sorry you didn't sleep well. I did that Saturday night. I went to bed at 9:20 last night, but didn't fall asleept until 11:30 but was out all night.

Toni, hope you had a great Easter and got to grill out. It was so cool and windy here. Raining this morning again.

Got to run. Have a great day.

Well it rained here Easter so we didn't get to grill. Instead I put the roast in the crockpot and it came out so good. I was looking forward to grilling some squash but didn't get to. Maybe next week end. We spend a lovely quiet day here.

Solly- Sounds like your off a bit today, hope you have a better tomorrow. Are you getting the rain too.

Lisa- What a nice vacation you had. Good for you on the eating. And how great you didn't open the cookies.

meowee- Good for that scale holding....

Ellen- Hope you don't work to hard.....


Have a good day...

Oh Spring is so grand -- pretty little dusting of whiteness is covering the dirty brown grass roots and making those little tips that are still sticking through look lovely and green.

Howdy ho..... I've got to get some breakfast/lunch going soon but wanted to pop on first. Watching a cooking show right now and having coffee. We slept in late this morning. But didn't go to bed till 1 this morning. Steve gets home from work at 12 am so we're always up late and sleep late in the morning. Going to make a pot of taco soup with ground turkey instead of beef for dinner tonight.

meowee- Hows your cats doing? You haven't mentioned them in awhile.

Ellen- Oh man you made me hungry reading your post. And are you ever busy. I've got some pink lady apples to try. Hope they're good. Its so hard to get good produce around here. I did pick up some wonderful looking spring asparagus.

Well I'd better get started with my day. Have to go to town too.

I'm hanging in there, eating well, and I had a gratifying down-tick
on the scale this morning.
I also weigh myself daily, but I don't take the fluctuations very
seriously. I wait a while before changing my ticker, to make sure
the loss is "real".

Ellen's post made me really hungry too. I'm not yet capable of
cooking cheesecake without eating cheesecake, so I guess it's
a good thing I don't have to try.

Toni's taco soup sounds good too.

Darn forgot to weigh today. Where the heck is everyone?

Lisa- Glad you went down on the scale. Keep up the good work.

Meowee- Howdy!


Well the dogs are barking and making me crazy so I'd better go see why.

Yesterday I had a lot of trouble concentrating at work.
(I had been using/abusing sugar to give me jolts of energy when
I needed a stimulant.) Yesterday I wanted to finish my
work early, leave early, and visit DD's school. But as the
afternoon ticked on, I really hadn't accomplished enough to let
myself leave early, so missing the school event was a good
"kick in the pants" for me. Then I finally buckled down and got
so absorbed in what I was doing that the final part of my day
was productive, high-energy, no eating and no hunger.
A big improvement!
I'm starting to repeat the same cycle today, and I really do
want to leave early today, so I've got to turn it around ASAP
and get my work done now. See ya.

Happy Thursday.... well I weighed in and almost back to were I started

Well, it is my fault, let the sugar back in and just was frustrated.

I have been following on line. 2 weeks since my shoulder surgery. I have not been taking the heavy drugs, so I am no so woobly. Therapy is coming good, had it yesterday and am sore today. Just applied ice.

I AM going out side to walk around are back yard and I AM getting on my elliptical machine, even if only 5 minutes.

Glad your all doing well, and Crystle your garden sound scrumpous

Great day to all

Sue

My morning was very busy and the afternoonb looks like more of the same. At least the sun is shining although the temperature is only just above the freezing mark.

Just wanted to say a quick HI . . . see you later.

Have to go heat my leftover taco soup in a bit. Like to have something easy cause Survivor is on tonight and Steve gets home at 7 for dinner. Tried a pink lady apple and it was so good. I'll have to get some more of those. I also had some nuts for a snack. Need to get my strawberries out and fix those. Yum. Not much going on at the old homestead LOL. I got some dried apples and tomato powder in the mail. Won't be trying them out till next fall.

Lisa- That sugar is such a bummer. I two pieces of candy yesterday. I could have kicked myself. Hope you got to leave early today.

Sue- You're doing it. I hope your shoulder is feeling better. A little walk outside sounds good. Care working out.

Meowee- Hope you didn't work to hard.

Well off to heat my soup......

Think I'll be a little scarce around here for the rest of this month. My cousin, Jamie (we've been as close as brother and sister all our lives) finally lost his long battle with cancer yesterday.

Now, as I mentioned before, Ruthxxx is arriving today to spend the weekend with me. Guess I'll try to get on the same flight as she is on for the trip to Ontario on Monday morning.

This should time out okay because his oldest son told me last night that there will be an autopsy to verify cause of death (something to do with the fact that he was a fireman). He will then be cremated and then there will be a memorial service. Liam didn't think anything much would be happening before next week anyway.

So, if you need assistance and can't find me, just scream for another Mod and someone will show up.

See you later, gang . . .

I don't post on this board, hope nobody minds if I jump in, but I just wanted to say, meowee, I am very sorry for your loss.

Thank you . . . . . . I'm sure nobody minds.
