well we just got back from devon's soccer game....what a mess that was lol...the power cut out last night so my alarm didnt go off....we were almost 30 mins late getting across town to the soccer field only to find out they were having the games in the indoor practise field at the local college (which is right by our house lol)...well even though we were almost 45 mins late he was still able to play in the last group....then we broke for an hour for another school to play so i took the boys to hardees and we had pancakes and then rushed back for the second game....of which his group was the last to play lol...so we're home and i have totally illegal pancakes in my belly so i really need to do something to burn them off....the end of the month is almost here and i have yet to acctually lose any darned weight :(

I spent too much $$ at Harry's Whole Foods. I always do that! They had these specialty rice varieties on sale, so I got a few. We have had two of them before and they are really good...just expensive. I got olives from the olive bar, and brown rice cakes, so I can quit eating so much wheat. They had organic apples on sale, so I bought a big bag of them. I guess I will make some charoset this afternoon. It is Passover this weekend...

I had some lunch: a rice cake with ham and sprouts. I really need to go clean some, especially in the kitchen. I just don't want to. :( Tom wants me to plant some more stuff in the garden. I don't want to do that either. I think I would like to take a nap though! Shameful, ain't I?

:wave:

man i totally stuffed my face with bad stuff today :( 3 peices of white bread and butter with dinner...2 helpings of corn....the pancakes at breakfast....and yet i can seem to get my lazy bottom on the gazelle....hey Monet....come smack me please!!!!!

Hey everyone! I just got in from Birmingham and am exhausted. Got caught in a bad storm yesterday with golf ball sized hail and really strong winds. The car doesn't seem to have any damage, but boy was I scared.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Dinner was stir fried pork and veggies with baby basmati rice. I had an orange for dessert.

Tom bought me 12 more tomato plants. How am I ever going to get them in the ground? The last nine about killed me! I also am supposed to plant squash, cucumbers, and more beans. I don't think I am cut out to be a farmer. I just can't balance well enough on the stepping stones, bend over, dig a hole and plant a tomato plant-I fall over!

Tom is still working on the plumbing. It is not going as well as he hoped, so still no hot water to our shower. :(

I should do replies, but I think I will go do some work. Yeah..amazing isn't it? I have got to be the laziest person you will ever met!

:wave: I will check in tomorrow!

Im have a hard day here. The weather is totally terrible out. in the 30's raining now its snowing , windy just nasty out. I ate very icky for dinner. We had uno pizza, I only ate the toppings but I feel so sick now. Just too much food and too heavy on my stomach. Im guzzling water like crazy .
Tomorrow Im going shopping for the day with my dd and we hope to go to TGIFs for lunch and that way I can order off their lc menu. Some of the chicken dishes look really good. I really want to try the Chicken Verde Enchilada Combo.
Hope someones having better weather than us !

Cindy...the weather's the exact same here...you're not alone...I couldn't walk my dog today... :(

Will do replies another time...life is still in an upheave with the new (great!!) dog!! Love him, but it's a huge adjustment, that's for sure!!

I woke up to about 2 inches of snow..on the ground ! And its still snowing! I feel like its Dec all over again. Getting ready to head out shopping. Doing some housework before I go. Will post more later !!

I had a nice post last night, and my computer froze while I was trying to submit it. Grrrr. Then the internet would not work at all, so I guess it was not something stupid that I did! Wonder of wonders!

I slept like a rock last night. We had the heat off, and it got down to 59 in the house...outside it was around freezing. Thankfully the garden plants were not harmed. I had my mattress heating pad on, and it was all warm and cozy. I actually slept straight for about 6 1/2 hours... boy that felt good!

CINDY: I am sorry your weather has turned so nasty. Here, it was raining and with lots of lightning and thunder, but it cleared off yesterday late afternoon, but turned really cold. Seems like we always get a bad cold snap that ruins the peach crop or some other crop, or kills my roses, or something. I remember growing up in the Chicago area, the year it snowed on Easter. A blizzard...in April. My sisters and I and my Mom always got new outfits and hats for Easter. That year, my dad kept telling us not to bother, it was going to snow. We all ended up wearing heavy winter coats and boots to church, and my dad was not very popular for a few days! I hope your weather clears up soon!

TECH: I hope your weather clears up soon too!

SEBRAY: Get out of that crap and back on program! You don't want me to come up there and make you do you? It won't be pretty! BOB! Oh BOB! Get the wagon ready! Pick up Gator and bring the bungee cords! :s:

CINDY: I just noticed your new avatar! Nice! Your hair is so cute!

OMG ITS SNOWING!!!!!! it was raining pretty bad on and off yesterday and kevin said that they were calling for snow today but i just laughed at him...the boys woke me up this morning screaming about the snow outside lol.....just seems so weird having snow in april....but im glad im not the only one with weird weather!

last night at 10pm i had to pick keving up from work and he had a craving for taco bell....i was so proud of myself because i said NO!!!! i had cooked a yummy dinner and it was waiting for him at home, but then he bribed me and said he'd leave the iPod home for me today if i went to taco bell....and i caved in like a big sissy....BUT i didnt eat my tacos last night, i just put them in the fridge and went to bed...ill eat them for lunch today...i only got 2 soft taco supremes so its not too bad i guess....

i cant believe that tomorrow starts the last week of school for me....im sooo excited :) all of my work is done i just have to study for my history exam that is tomorrow and then ill have all week to get ready for my finals....

Monet: thats right....grab the girls and bring them....this month has been TERRIBLE for me...i havent lost any weight, and i have been so discouraged (of course i havent been eating OP very much and have barely exercised)....i truely do need a good smack in the head.....perhaps after finals ill be better

well have to run now...hope everyone has a great day :wave:

SEBRAY: You need to sit that man of yours down and tell him you are not going to tolerate his sabotage! Taco Bell is NOT legal and loaded with stuff that is not good for you. And you with dinner already made. I would have told him to stuff the iPod, and gone on home. Who needs it? It may be fun, cool and all that but so what? Your health is much more important, and you want to get this weight and health thing under control while you are young, or you will be like me, old, fat and finding it impossible to lose anything! I know its hard with all the stress you are under, but you have to learn to handle healthy eating even when stressed, or you will be yo-yo dieting all your life! <<hug>> Give those tacos to the kids and have something healthy!

Monet: i love you :) thank you so much for giving me the honesty i needed...thats y i love coming here.....i ended up only eating one of the tacos for lunch today and gave the other one to aidan :).....i AM going to exercise here in a few mins though...im feeling so yucky not haveing exercised in so long :(

I was cleaning out some boxes in my closet and found one of my favorite books. "Meditations for Living in Balance: Daily Solutions For People Who Do To Much" if you guys dont mind, i thought i would post the daily meditations for everyone.......i know they have helped me alot throughout the years...in fact i never went anywhere without that book and my little AA book for a long time...then about 3 or 4 moves later they got packed away and 'lost'

anywho, today's meditation is about Anger, and if it would be ok for me to post it just let me know :)

of to shake my bum on the gazelle...i hope lol :wave:

We just finished dinner....baked ziti and salad. Turned out fairly good. I WAS planning on spaghetti, but did not have enough spaghetti noodles, and did have a bag of uncut ziti. I cooked them and cut them with scissors, and then baked them with sauce, meat and cheese on them.

My back is bothering me today, so I think I may lay down for a while. I, like BOB, have laundry to do. I put nasty notes to myself on Outlook so I would not forget the laundry. I meant to do it yesterday, and totally forgot after putting the first load in the washer. :rolleyes:

I hope everyone is doing well. I will probably check in before bed, but we have church tonight, so I might not be able to get back here. Tom is still working on the plumbing, no hot water to our bathroom yet. Looks like I am going to have to take another shower in James' shower. Ew! :lol:

:wave: Later!
