Wonderful weekend here. Lots and lots of yard work done, my thighs are burning from squatting so much. And we BBQ'd all weekend. Saturday we had a high of 95'!! Waaayyy to hot this early in the year. It's suppose to cool down a bit so we shouldn't be scorching any more.
Another early work week for me. I'll be going in early everyday until I'm caught up. Should be caught up soon. (I hope anyways)
Ok.....must move and get ready. Still need my cup of coffee. Have a lovely Monday ladies!
Busy day ahead. Got to hit the store and restock on some things... HEALTHY foods.
Sounds like everybody had a good week end and a busy week ahead. We have company coming in. Tony's 1st wife's Mom and Sister coming to town and we are going to the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte one day this week with them. I don't know how long they will be here and I don't know if they will spend a night or two with us or not. They will be at Tony's SIL some of the time and may stay there the whole time. We haven't heard much of the plan yet. I always enjoy visiting with them as they are such precious people. How unusual to be able to be so close to your hubby's previous wife's family. They miss her a lot and we talk about her often. I have always felt that if Carol and I had met when she was living that we would have been very good friends. I think the best compliment I had from our grandson. He is the only child that was old enough to remember her. We were having a very serious conversation and he looked at me and said "Then you came into our lives and you are just like my Memaw". I have even had his Mother say "You remind me so much of my Mama". The strange thing is that Tony and I met on-line on a Christian website. He reminds me a lot of my late husband, but neither of us knew that when we married since our dates were mostly by phone and e-mails. It was amazing when we married howwe learned that God had just put us in the right place.
Well, that's enough of my morning walk down memory lane. I've got to get busy. I also want to do some on-line shopping before DH wakes up and is ready to go to Wal-Mart. Y'all have a good day. Catch you later.
Hi Ladies, I hope everyone is having a nice evening. It is raining here I got my egg plants in the mail today. I planted them just as the rain started My Neice got her tomatoes and green peppers planted; GOT lots more to go.
Today has been a good day for me. I got my healthy eating plan in order. One that I can follow. I drank8-8oz of water. I did my strength exercises and 48 min of cardio. I feel good about the day. I need to check and see what is on the menu for tomorrow.
Mindee~ I looked for All You magazine in the store, could not find a copy! I guess I need to go to the news stand to find it. I wanna take a look. Also I think I am going to order the 2 mile walk dvd you clued me in to. I did a George Forman walk/box dvd. Had a blast doing it, but I need another cardio dvd to mix it up and keep it interesting.
Where is everyone~ I miss you all~sassy chick, amanda, francie, mindee, ,suetalks. sz2aheart.please forgive me the ones I forgot.I hope you all are okay.
Just a fly by before I got to watch movie with Tony. Just wanted to tell you that I bought White tea today when I picked up my green tea. Girls, I love it. I mostly drink water, lemon water and green tea and I have to tell you this will definitely be an added treat for me and it is just as good with the antioxidants as the other teas. Catch y'all tomorrow.
just popping in since it has been a chaotic day around here! Tommy went to go to bed and Marissa woke up, so off to walk we went! an now I am going off to bed!
I will have to come back a little later, like Tuesday afternoonish.....we are going to go up north this coming Sunday and probably stay the night up there. We were going to go up there Saturday night, but the Wings are now in the Finals and the first game is this coming Saturday, so we are going to stay home and watch the game!
Pat~ Check by the registers at your local store. I find All You, by the registers at the local WalMart.
Good Morning Ladies~I weighed in this morning. OHMYGOSH! I lost a pound!! Now I weigh 197. That equates to 4 pounds of pressure off my knees. That will make my doctor happy with me. My goals for today are to stay on my eating plan, drink my water, do either stretches or yoga, walk for at least 30 min for my cardio. So far so good.
Mindee~Thanks for the clue in. I looked at our local Kroger store. I will look at Wal Mart. Today I will wear my pedometer as I need 10,000 steps.
Trish~What is white tea? I know green and red tea, not sure about white tea. Is it where the rest of the teas are in the store? I mostly drink water with lemon. A change would do me good!
I have to get going for now. Catch you all later. Have a nice day. Pat
Thank goodness for two computer screens at work! LOL I'm reading post on one and replying on the other!!!
Pat, Good going with the 1 lb gone forever!! and I know your knees are happy too! Sounds like you have your day all planned out. It seems strange that you guys are just now starting to plant things...down here in Louisiana stuff has been planted for a month or so already and it is just about too hot to do much more!
Trish, I'm with Pat, what is white tea!! You have my curiosity up...I'll google it in a few! Trish, I just read your story about how you and your husband met and it gave me chills! God definitely takes care of us even when we aren't aware of it! How long have you been together?
Marti, sounds like you had a busy productive weekend with the yard and a productive workout too!
Pandora, I hope that you are doing okay. Check with your dr...your body may just be responding to your change in eating and once it gets use to it...you will lose slower. But definitely mention it to your dr if you ar concerned.
Well,I didn't get caught up on everything..but I think I'll use this technique at home tonight with the desktop and the laptop. That way I can respond as I read and not totally miss someone!
Talk to you later.....
Oh, I get my Wii Fit tomorrow! (I HOPE)

Pat - These days I am as thrilled with a .5 to 1 lb loss as I am if it is more. Yah for your 1 lb loss.
Ruth - Tony and I have been married now for almost 5 and half years. Never thought I would every marry again when my precious Bill died and sure never thought I would live anywhere but TX. My life has really changed in the past (almost 8) years since he died and I've been to places I only dreamed of. Although I have been through a lot, I have to say that not only has God seen me through it all, but He has been good to me. I get down sometime and miss everyone back home, but I have my friends here on line and thank God for telephones and emails... I am blessed.
To answer yours and Pat's question about the white tea. I really didn't know what it was but have seen it mentioned with green and black tea. I was in Wal-Mart getting ready to pick up a box of green tea and saw a box of white tea next to it so I grabbed a box. The box says it is made from Asian Plums. I use one bag in a 2 cups water and then nuke for about 2 minutes then pour over a big jug of ice (my WW 32 oz) sweeten to taste. However, it might taste good without sweetner. I have been purchasing the Salada brand green tea at Wal-Mart because it is cheaper. This white tea was the same brand.
just popping in while I have a chance to. Logan has a little gash I guess you can call it, on the side of his nose. I had gone into the bedroom to make a phone call and he came running in, tripped and his nose met the metal bed frame. I was trying to clean it up and every time I pulled the wash cloth back, he would start crying again, so of course that made it spurt more blood. Thankfully I got him calmed down enough to let me get the bleeding to stop, so now he has a band aid across his nose. I tried to use a little band aid, but he pulled it off and handed it back to me. So, he got stuck with a full sized band aid on his face. I put pictures on my myspace page if you want to check them out.
I forgot to add that I haven't had a pop since Saturday! I have been drinking Iced Tea like it is going out of style! And I use a 2 quart container to make it in, and I can easily drink the whole pitcher myself.
Pat~ Krogers might have it, but it might be in the aisle with the magazines. We hardly ever go to Krogers anymore so I don't honestly know where it would be there. Good luck with staying on your course today! I need to get back into recording every thing that I eat again.
Hello..Just got in from my walk and decided to sit here for a few minutes. It sure looks like everyone is or has been busy.
I actually had an easy day today. Just one load of laundry that I should have done yesterday when I washed bedclothes. Other than that I dusted and cleaned out my bookshelf to sort some books. Then walked with DH.
Yesterday my good friend and former neighbor called to say she was cleaning out some flower beds and if I came over she would give me "starts." I came home with a dishpan, 2 buckets and 4 sacks full of goodies. So I spent another afternoon planting. If this all lives I will be a happy camper. I just need a climbing rose bush, 2 vines and some annuals and I will be finished. (for now) I never did much flower/plant gardening before, so this is fun.
Got another treat yesterday. I have always wanted to see a scarlet tanager and one flew into our back yard. It was a lovely bird...but didn't stay long enough. So, 3 new birds recently, a rose breasted grosbeak and a red headed woodpecker were earlier visitors.
Doesn't take much to make me happy. How about you? Do the little things in life cheer you up? Put a smile on your face?
Suetalks~I hope all of your starters thrive. Sounds like you have been a busy lady!! I have been working on my flower beds. Tomorrow I plant my flowers and bulbs. It is relaxing isn't it.
Mindee~sorry to hear that Logan hurt his nose. I hope it feels/heals better soon. Hey girlfriend, I walked 3 miles today with Noelle. All time best to this point. Thank you for inspiring me. I will look for the magazine.
Trish~Thank you!!!!!!!!
Short and Sassy~Thank you!! I always wanted to visit Louisana. I had my bags packed ready to vacation in Baton Rough when hubby told me we couldn't go after all. I was soooooooooo disappointed. Enjoy the warm, it is 60degrees here in Indiana with a strong breeze. Are you going to try the white tea. Can some one tell me does tea count as water??? If so I will switch to brewed tea.
Amanda~I am missing you please post and let us know how you are doing, please.
Eating was a little off for dinner,though I met my calorie goals I had too much fat. I will do better tomorrow. I walked 3 miles. Dug compost for 12 min at one time. The ab workout I did yesterday thinking this is sissy stuff this won't do anything for my abs. WRONG!!! I feel it today+my triceps are a little achey. The part that still waves when I am done waving. I must be doing something wright.
Hey!
I know I've disappeared for a little but, typical me. I am starting to question if I should go into nursing. I'm starting to consider a lab job, but I am unsure. I just don't know if I can stomach nursing.
I lost a little weight! Yay! I dieted a little and working out/lifting weights. I have been cheating though and eating pretty bad, but still kinda staying within an okay calorie range. So, I coulda lost more, bad me!!!
Hi Girls. I'm sick. I thought at first it was JUST my allergies, but now I think I may have gotten a touch of the flu too. So cleaning may or may not get done. If it doesn't, oh well, my mom has seen our apt dirty before and if I don't get better, she may not want to come up with a sickie!!! lol.
I've got to get busy. I also want to do some on-line shopping before DH wakes up and is ready to go to Wal-Mart. Y'all have a good day. Catch you later.
