We played a little Sunday. Popped in to the casino for a couple hours. I won..I actually WON a little bit of cash. First time in a long time....
Today is a beautiful day. We have the windows open and the fountain going. Sounds so lovely. I am folding clothes in front of the window (well, not quite this minute...) Laundry and bedclothes day. I also cleaned the laundry room. Getting ready to go ride the bike for a few, trying to get my legs back in shape. Walked with DH two days, but missed yesterday. Hoping he wants to walk with me later. I am making broccoli soup for dinner...just something light. We have been eating way too heavily. Sorry to not be too chatty, feeling down about a few things..will work itself out I am sure. *fingers crossed* |
Sue - Are you in Vegas? The hospital makes the best broccoli soup, it's creamy though so wonder about the calories. :hug::hug: hope you are feeling better. I have an hour before I pick up Gaby so chat more later!
|
NO, not in Vegas..I wish. They put in a casino/racetrack not more than 10 minutes from our home.
I am not sure of the calories of the soup...it is a mix that was in a gift package...have heard it is very good. We will see. (I just looked..145 calories per 8 oz.) That is with regular milk..you can use lowfat to cut calories. I am using fat free half and half and 1% milk, so it will be less I would imagine. I am not good at figuring calories....(obviously) I rode 2 miles on my trusty bike. It was breezy and nice. My legs do not hurt too badly so I might do a little more this evening. DH won't want to walk since he is mowing the lawn. I am still pretty moody, a little depressed...I will be okay. Talked to all of the kids today and instead of making me happy it just made it worse...so I dunno what the heck I need. I have not had a WI for a couple weeks..and don't plan to any time soon. I am just trying to get more exercise and less food.. :) |
Holy Cow Ya'All! Just tested my Blood Sugar and it is only 99! (Below 130 is normal) I usually run about 130ish - 140ish. So 99 is Awesome! I almost cried when I saw the number!
I even got a lunchable that I've had and took out the crackers and gave them to the birds and just ate the meat and cheese. But this one has cookies in it too. and since I took my blood sugar and it was so good I'm not gonna ruin it by eating those things! And boy howdy do I want to eat them but I know what they do to my blood sugar and I've been doing so good that I do not want to even go there. I've been walking 1 mile EVERY DAY and not eating unhealthy carbs. I did get the nausea that I've heard about but it seems to have passed. I think its just finally committing to a healthy lifestyle. ;) Big :hug: to those who need it right now. :hug: |
Sue - sun always perks me up. I usually stick to salads, I am not good at figuring calories either. I did have a whole cod fillet tonight w/ a pack of veggies. If it was a lot of cals , I don't want to know. I was 159 this morning. I can't believe I can't get it back to 155.....maybe it is the wine:dizzy:, not that I drink a lot....maybe 1 bottle in a month??? No, that isn't a question...haha, is IS a bottle a month. That can't' keep me from losing can it?? I doubt it. :?: And if it does I guess I will be 159 for a while....haha.
Sassy - :carrot: yay to your blood sugar count :) sounds like you are doing real good. I am off to pick up a tootsie roll. :dizzy: |
Hi All....baby AShton Spencer sure is giving his mom fits...midwife sent them to the hospital yesterday only to have them go home. I am on my way to take them now to the office to be checked...shes been having the braxton hicks for days...they get real close and just stop.
Took Dominic to the circus last night..he loved it!! Hope everyone has a great day!! |
Good Beautiful Morning to Ya!
Good Beautiful Morning All! :sunny:
Well I weighed in this morning because I completely forgot about it yesterday and guess what????? I have lost 8 pounds so far! And its only been about a week! Woo-Hoo! :woohoo: Guess this diet + exercise thing really does work if you actually DO IT and stick to it! :D Sue -- WTG on the 2 miles! :D I tried to do 2 miles on my WATP this morning but just am not ready for it yet. So I did the 1 mile as usual. ;) Sorry to hear your feeling depressed. Big :hug: Suzy Q -- Thanks and this morning it was normal as well -- only 107! ;) Jules -- Hopefully she will have him soon! Glad that Dominic had fun at the Circus! Also if your wanting to go into the medical field if you wanna do Healthcare Administration, all you need is one 6 week course through a vocational school, here its Great Oaks, for that. That is what I plan on doing once we get the money. DH talked to the girls he works with and that is what they did. But if you want to do Medical Assisting or Pharmacy Tech that you will need a degree for, just be sure its through a reputable school because my school that I WAS going too, that was their problem, once you got to the externship, nobody would let you do it because they didn't have any partnership with the school. There is one girl who went to college at my school for Pharmacy Tech and went through the whole program and could not get an externship so therefore could not get a degree. A bit waste of time and money. A good idea is to call up a few places that you would like to work at and ask them what Colleges they work with. Just a thought, Good Luck and you can do it!! ;) Big :hug: to everybody! |
Jules - can't they induce?? Impatient here in Oregon! I was always induced, doctors didn't seem to want to be bothered at odd hours. Rach was 7pmish.Becky 2pm ,and Gaby 11pm. anyway, hope all goes well.
Sassy - Bravo to 8 pounds! I bet that feels great. :carrot::dance::cheer2: Still hovering at 159,some teases at 158.4 a few days ago. Ate some sourdough bread w/ hummus last night for a snack. Picked up my new glasses. I like them but now I remember what a pain glasses can be because I can't see when I am putting on make up but I think I will give contacts a rest for awhile. anyway, off to work!! Joy:mad: |
Hi Suzy Q!
Yes it FEELS AWESOME! To just think I just eat right and exercise and VOLA! It works! Go figure. lol. Just have to stick with it! ;) But its great to see results so soon! I was maybe expecting a couple of pounds, but 8 is great! HA! Oh yes I know what ya mean about not being able to see to put on make up. That was until my bff gave me a make-up mirror one year for Christmas! :D One side even magnifies! ;) Would love to see your new glasses chica! ;) Have a Great Day at work or TRY too! Oh I think I forgot to mention that I have an interview on Thursday. Nothing too glamorous, its with a local grocery store, but work is work! lol. Plus I worked there before a LONG time ago and its a pretty good co. to work for. Also got a call on another application too, they needed more info. So keep :crossed: pls! :hug: |
Good grief, miss a couple of days and you ladies get chatty :) Good to see all the posts!
I will try to come back tomorrow, er, rather later today to chat more. For now, just wanted to stop by and say HI :wave: Take care and have a great day! |
Good morning so far...3 mile bike ride, breakfast of a banana and fat free wheat toast w/light margarine.
I am going to count calorie on Fitday again. Channel my blah and depressed feelings into something good...can't get over them...just need to ignore them. One thing about it, you can not be feeling blue while riding...too much loveliness out there with flowers blooming and the smell of lilacs in the air. Off to shower and go to the store........ |
Morning -
I have gross rashes on my hand, I'm in heaven itching them. Chemicals from work? Ick. Cristina - thanks for the mail, that was nice to get after a long day at work.....nice change from bills. haha. Sassy - a grocery store might be fun, and you get paid and its work....can't beat that. I would like a change right about now myself. I'll get RockMan to take a pic of the new glasses when I get to Hawaii. Sue - I know I asked this before but what kind of bike do you have?? I was going to borrow a bike in Hawaii and ride around, that sounds nice to me. I have to go stock up on salads stuff again. I had the worse reaction w/ that cod I ate.....so full of air. lol I was telling Beck that last night and she said "too much information mom".....anyway, it is sunny & a day off....so I better make the most of my time before I have to get Gabster. :wave: chat later. |
real quick update 25 hours and STILL no baby..they "induced" yesterday by giving her a something that would soften her cervic....her water broke around midnight and got an epidural around 3....not sure what these midwives are doing...ready do go raise some ruckus.....
|
Good Afternoon!
Good Afternoon Ladies!
Ok today I thought to myself, "I'm bored with doing the W.A.T.P (Walking Away The Pounds) DVD and the treadmill so I decided to check out Exercise Tv On demand on our cable and saw 10 Minute Cardio Blast! I thought AH-HA! PERFECT! How hard could 10 measly minutes be??!! HA!!!!!!!!!!! That lady is NUTS!!!!!!!! I felt like I was gonna have heart failure and I didn't even get to 10 minutes!!!!!!! HOLY CANAOLI! LOL! :faint: Ok just had to share! lol Cristina -- Hi Ya! Yup we've been a little bit chatty here. lol. Come back and join us when you can! Sue -- Thats Great! WTG on the 3 miles! :hug: Getting outside in the sunshine :sunny: and seeing all those lovely flowers bloom always makes me :) and :sp: lol. All I've been doing all morning long is sneezing my fool head off! And I even closed the windows AND took my allergy meds! UGH! lol. How many calories do we burn sneezing??? lol. I think I need to get outside and walk. (Don't have a bike, YET!) Suzy Q -- Yeah can never argue with getting paid! HA! So tomorrow is my interview with the grocery store. So I am hoping I get it and can start ASAP! :D A good salad sounds good. ;) Also speaking of bikes, if I get the job at the grocery store and get some $$ and we get ahead a bit, I'm gonna buy me a bike and then I can RIDE to work its only 2.1 miles away!! ;) Oh here is a little fun link that you all might enjoy, its "The Most Accurate Calories Burned Estimator" but they do not have sneezing down! lol. But at least according to that site that little bit of intense exercise I did burned about 76 calories! WOOHOO! :woohoo: Big :hug: |
Jules- I hate midwives. I had one w/ Rebecca and it was the longest delivery. She wanted me to do it natural and f her. The fastest was Rach, she had a doctor from India, that lady wanted to keep her dinner date w/ her husband, so she stretched me and doped me up and presto...Rach came in record time. Gaby was ok,fast and pretty much painless.
But ya.....go raise some rukus. We want the cutie here already. :D Sassy- I sent my resume to a property management postion today, back in PDX and close to the ex, just for a lark. It is part time and I would have to get a *day job* because this would only give housing but.... whatever, housing is worth a lot. Tired of working w/ drips and getting rashes all over me. lol Good luck on the job interview!! |
baby made it 3:36 pm on 5/5/10. Ryan freaked out, a little the cord was around his neck and he was blue..they rushed him out due to him not breathing well...Tonia spiked a fever and he is on some fluids and an antibiotic...they are really upset he's not in the room with them. They can go see him at any time....its hard...
|
|
Jules- so happy the baby is here, sorry it was a scary arrival. Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats again!:hug:
I need to get to work. Had some yummy cod for dinner w/ veggies. I also bought some more hummus, love that stuff. Scale was 160 this morning, thinking of going on a fast........for like a week. lol anyway- chat later :wave: |
CONGRATS JULIE!! :congrat: :bb:
http://dl10.glitter-graphics.net/pub...bu2sgab7aq.gif I hope MaMa and Baby are doing well!! :hug: Suzy Q -- GOOD LUCK to you as well! http://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...v7ggygytz3.gif That's awesome I really hope you get it! :D Thanks for the GL! My interview is in 1 hr and 15 min. Lets hope it brings GOOD NEWS! ;) Well I did my W.A.T.P this morning, 1 mile. But my poor little legs are pooped. I couldn't do it with as much intensity today. :( But I still did it. ;) Also yesterday I walked with my bff. I think I'm gonna find an upper body workout to alternate so my legs don't get so tired. I was in EXTREME pain last night. I took some ibprophens at bedtime and they seemed to help but WOW. But I know I'm doing good. I keep working out EVERYDAY because I know me and if I don't do it EVERYDAY then I just won't do it. So I do it like brushing my teeth or showering daily, I workout daily so its a part of my day. I think that works the best for me. Just need to find ways to change it up so I'm not doing the same thing every day! Also came home from walking with my bff yesterday and someone or something had pulled off a stem off of my rosebush. Like a whole entire piece of it! :mad: I still have some left on it, but man that IRKED ME!!!!!!!!!! It was fine before I left because I walk right past it going to my car. Then in that short amount of time (like a couple hours) someone or something did that! GRRRR!!!!!!!! Anywho.......I'm off to jump in the shower! Please keep all your crossables crossed :crossed: for me PLEASE! THANK YOU!!! :D BIG :hug: |
Jules- Congrats! Sorry things got scary for the kids...but hopefully everything is ok.
Have fun with the new baby boy! Just getting ready to go try to ride the bike. I had leg spasms in bed last night, so don't know how my legs will react.I will check back later and let you know.... |
Good Evening!
Good Evening.........
http://dl8.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...eu8kezpwku.gif Well just got back home from running around like an hour ago. Had my interview at 2, well it was actually a little bit after 2 by the time the lady came to get me. But it went really well, I think she would have offered me a job right then and there if she had the list of jobs they were hiring for. She said if she didn't call me tonight (she didn't) that she would give me a call tomorrow and if I do not hear from her by 3 pm by tomorrow to give her a call. She also said that she would put in for me to make extra money because of my Customer Service Experience! Boo Ya! So not as much money as I was making at the Call Center, but still not bad esp since its literally like 2 miles from my house! I most likely will be working in the floral dept. Which is fine because I used to work at a flower shop a long time ago. My old room-mate owned the flower shop and showed me a few things. So that is perfect because I won't be around food! She did ask me what dept I did not want and I said deli because I was trying to lose weight and did not wish to be around the food. I mean its a store and food is all over, but in the deli its ready-to-eat. Big difference there and the floral dept is right next too the produce!!! :D The HEALTHY stuff! lol. So sounds promising. I did go to a few other places and applied too, just to be safe. Also had to pick up some things at the store as we're having a friend over tomorrow night and he's bringing the steaks for my DH to prepare (my DH makes really awesome steaks and our friend who is coming over is a VEGETARIAN and loves how my DH prepares his steaks! ;) ) and I'm making Cucumber Salad because our friend loves it and we do as well, plus ITS HEALTHY! Well it does have a teeny tiny bit of sugar in it, but not much. So my bff just called and asked what I was doing and I figured she would and I had to say "Nothing as I'm tired." I'm just pooped out. All this exercise I've been doing and all this out and about today and plus my back started hurting badly too. I plan on doing nothing tonight. Also because this may be my last "free" weekend off. Which I'm def not complaining about! ;) Sue -- I can sympathize with ya. Where as I don't have leg spasms yet, they are pretty sore and my back is starting to kill me now, I think my back is due to its supposed to storm soon though. I can tell that my muscles in my legs are building up though, even if they are sore. DH even commented that he can tell that my legs are losing weight and gaining muscle. ;) Hope you have a nice bike ride! I can't wait to buy a bike!!! If I ride that to work and back, that is 4 miles and its mostly uphill coming home!!! :bike2: Anywho, I hope you all have a Great Evening!!! :D :hug: |
Quickie...I rode for 1 mile and my right leg started hurting, so I decided to quit and see how the leg does throughout the night. Last night it brought me right up out of bed...pain in the calf and then in the back of my thigh I had a spasm. So...I think the 3 miles yesterday might have been too much too quickly. Will do a mile or two tomorrow and get back to it.
Susan, my bike is just a Huffy with coaster brakes....no hand gears. They call them beach bikes now..since they are the going trend. Sassy- Hope you get the job. Jules- Keep us posted about Ashton. Nothing else here...same thing, different day. |
Good Afternoon Ladies! :sunny:
Sue -- TY and Big :hug: I know those leg spasms are torture I used to get woke up with them ALL the time when I rode my bike. I know it does have something to do with Potassium. So try eating some bananas or other foods that are high in Potassium. I hope that helps! :hug: Well I did not work out today. I was cleaning all morning/afternoon. So I am counting that as my work out. Plus I needed to rest my legs today. They do feel much better. ;) We are having my inlaws over tonight for Mother's Day dinner as we are having a friend over for dinner tomorrow and Sunday night my DH works. I haven't heard anything yet from the grocery store. I have to call her in about an hour if I don't hear from her. Also got a call from the Cable Co for a job that I applied for Customer Service but the number the lady left took me to a mailbox system and I typed in her name and her name was not listed. DH and I both called the Customer Service # for our cable co and finally a lady sent out and email and also left a voice mail with the ladies supervisor. So lets hope she calls back or emails. Anywho I hope all is well with everyone. :hug: |
Hi y'all!
ugh - allergies are kicking my butt...and my voice is gone. My family doesn't know what to do without me yakking at them all the time, lol! Supposed to have some friends over for dinner tonight - I'll be SO entertaining! Jules - Congrats on the arrival of Ashton Spencer - sorry it was so scary, but glad he is here and well and I bet Dom is just going to love having a cousin. Susan- you might move back to PDX? (yay) Would be cool for the girls to go to the same school, wouldn't it? Can't remember when you are going to Hawaii, but have a great time! I'm jealous :) Sassy - fingers crossed for the job...you are doing a great job with your exercise. I have not been since this cold knocked me on my butt. HI to Cristina, Anne, Sue, Kathy, Mindee, and Francie! One more week of my teaching assignment, then some papers to write, then I am done! Well, sort of..I need to look for a job, but can't get a job until I get the endorsement, so one thing at a time. My scale said 170 this morning, so I am encouraged..I am planning to run soon, and I really need to since I haven't been exercising much this week. Hope you are all well! |
My family is on a trip for the weekend with my younger daughter's band. The band competed at the State level and WON!!:carrot::carrot::carrot: The kids really played their best!! I am so proud of them! Today we are going to an amusement park, then off to local sight seeing tomorrow. I am trying to eat as healthy as possible! I did pack a cooler with water bottles and some healthy snacks. But being a daily scale watcher, I am a bit leary!!:( Hopefully my choices will be ok!
I used to have problems with muscle cramping and spasms. My doctor gave me potassium pills. Those pills are a BIG help! I do notice a difference if I forget to take my pill in the morning! Happy Mother's Day to all! |
Hello
Good Windy Afternoon! :wave:
Katie-- Allergies stink! Hope they clear up for ya soon! Thanks I called her yesterday and still no word yet. I hope something comes up soon! Saksn4 - WTG on your daughters band! :congrat: Have fun!!! Its a colder, windier day here in OH! Not too cold, its about 60 but the with the wind kicked up it feels like the 50's. But kinda a nice change from being so hot I guess. ;) Well I did my W.A.T.P today, 1 mile. ;) I think the 1 day of rest (yesterday) helped TREMENDOUSLY not that I slacked off and did nothing, I cleaned ALL day yesterday in preparation of my inlaws coming over last night and our friend coming over tonight. We had Pork Roast, Corn on the Cob (and OMG it was so good, (yes I indulged! HA!) esp for being the 1st in the season!!!), and Baked Beans for the dinner with my in-laws. It was for Mothers Day as we don't have the money to take my MIL out, so just cooked a meal, actually heated up most of it. The Pork Roast was from the other night and so were the baked beans. lol. But it was all still very good! Tonight we're having Steak that our friend is bringing for DH to prepare and cucumber salad! YUM! LOVE Cucumber Salad!! :D I never used too when I was a kid, funny how your tastes change!!! Also lastnight I bought a snickers bar, a KING SIZED one! lol. But only ate half. I just had such a craving for one and there it was staring at me in the check out! DH said, "Buy it, one candy bar won't hurt you." My little enabler. lmao. But I know he is right. (shhh don't tell him I said that! HA!) I mean my parents are SKINNY and always have been and they occasionally eat/ate sweets, just not all the time. Maybe that is the secret of skinny people. Wow you mean you don't eat 20 candy bars at one sitting!! Dang! lol. No I'm just joking and no offense to anybody out there who has done that. :hug: My choice of poison never was candy bars it was just a bunch of different junk so no difference really, I guess I just preferred variety! HA! So I'm gonna ask you all, and you don't have to answer if you don't wanna, of course, "What is your Choice of "Poison"? What is the one or two foods that you just LOVE LOVE LOVE??" Mine has to be bread. Thats why this low carb gig sucks for me. lol. I'm a CARB LOVER! Love bread, love pasta, love rice..........LOVE it. Now I know there is Whole Grain Breads, pasta and even rice now, but still trying to be a "Good Girl" ;) Ok back to working out and getting healthy.....See how easy it is for me to get off track?? LMAO! I do want to find a really good UPPER body workout. But ONLY upper body to do on the days I'm not doing the W.A.T.P. To give my legs a rest. If you all have any suggestions, please let me know! ;) Ok Guess I have blabbered on enough! :blah: Thanks for listening! Big :hug: |
Hello all...
Well, I meant to get back here to chat, just didn't happen. SUSAN...you are welcome for the card. Hope the itchy thing is gone, such a pain eh? A good salad sounds good to me too! Probably have a chicken salad for dinner since no one will be home. KATY...sorry about the cold and allergies. I know last year I had the allergies bad, first time I ever had to go to the doctor for them to get something strong. You'll be back to running in no time! SUE...sorry about the cramping. I've not gotten on my bike since last year when I went out for a short ride and my knee starting hurting. Going to have to have the hubby put some air in the tires and give it a try again. Hugs to you! :hug: SASSY...grocery store sounds like a decent job plus don't you get a discount? And only two miles away! Hoping you heard something by now. Good job on the exercise! :carrot: I too get bored with the treadmill and the WATP. I'll tell ya a good upper body workout...it IS a killer and I never have gotten passed the 10 minute warm-up, lmao...okay, nevermind...daughter must have taken it in her room. I'll get the name of it though...another one though is the Biggest Loser, there's some GREAT upper body workouts on the one I do. About the question...I think just food in general and most things sweet are my poison. For some reason in my old age I crave sweets, never have before. ANNE...WTG to your daughters band! Enjoy your trip! JULES...CONGRATULATION'S grandma! :congrat::celebrate: Hoping Tonia is feeling better! HIYA KATHY, MINDEE, and FRANCIE! :wave: Not a lot going on here. Was supposed to go to lunch with the son and DIL, that was the plan last week. Guess something changed and we didn't, oh well. So I got ready this morning for nothing and have basically done nothing so far today, lol. It is cold today or I would have gone to the park for a breather. Maybe I will do that tomorrow just to get out of the house. Feeling more like a hermit than ever before and not really liking it. Did get in my walk at the mall everyday last week. Only thing that keeps me sane. I NEED those walks even if it is early and most days I dread them. Just need to get a handle on the other stuff...weights and dvds. Have a wonderful Mother's Day ladies! |
|
Happy Mothers Day!
I am late, I am sorry. I have been running a temp since Friday night, only at night. It is 100.4 right now. I'm at work and just wanting to make it thru the shift. It is time and a half, and I got a seatblet ticket yesterday pulling out of Freddies w/ asprin and just wanting to make it home and was pulled over. I know, that is no excuse but I almost wanted to cry, $157 fine. *sigh,..... Might move back to PDX, I am so tired of this job, almost 2 yrs and I am still only part time, frustrating to me. Plus the job is hard, I am not young anymore. *waaaa. We'll see, I am open to it though. Better get!! |
Quicky for me since I am at work...computer CRASHED Friday...perfect ending to a perfect week...I almost had a breakdown Friday, but I had a good cry went with my brother to Sam's Club had a good long talk with him. He really is a good guy.
Mom had a few episodes last week, they did up her anxiety pills and that seemed to help. The tumors are really growing and she is beginning to have more bad days than good. My brother got her pink roses and then added red tulips to them...they are beautiful...there was a interested nurse at the cancer treatment center and now it's happening at the Nursing home. I'd like to see him find a really great lady....SuzyQ.....if you were only closer... Baby Ashton spent his first 3 days in the nursery hooked to an IV. Ry's work was really great and left him off extra. The paycheck will not be good but we can help with that. They spent alot of time there. No infections turned up so it was truly precautionary, which makes it worse in a way since they had to go through. Will post pics when we have an up and running computer again :(. Ry had to work 12 to 12 yesterday so Tonia came out and spent the day at our house. Dominic likes baby Ashton though he still wants Mimi and granddad to do everything we usually do with him and let Ash stay in the crib. Went to Mothers Day at our fave Mexican restaurant. Everyone but Ry since he had to work. Hubby even behaved around JR who he really doesn't like. I don't think anyone is ever going to be good enough for Teri and now that she has Dominic its worse. I am not saying JR and Teri dont have any problems, but we all do and he does love both of them. Hubby just needs to straighten up, hes started to make me mad about the way he acts. Well that the update...no Facebook for me for awhile!! I will try to keep posting!! |
Jules..So sorry to hear the news on your mom. I am praying for her to find peace and not suffer. Praying for you and your family to be strong enough to get through the coming times. :hug: I hope your brother does find the right lady...he sounds like a special guy. I am glad to hear that Ashton is doing okay and hope to see pictures soon. :)
*and I hear you on the husband stuff...mine behaves around others, then I hear about all that upset him after...grr..* Susan- Naughty girl on the ticket...but don't beat yourself up about it. Happens to the best. (I can not believe it was so darn high. DD got a speeding tix and it was ONLY $ 147.) Hope the fever is gone and you are feeling tip top. Cristina- Hope you had a nice MD... The mall walks sound great. I wish I didn't have to drive 25 minutes to get to our mall. :( I hope to get back on the bike today, but I tried over the w.e. and my leg hurt badly. I think I am just a wimp. Sassy- Hope you got news on a job. Sounds like the store close to home would be good. Did you have an enjoyable week-end? Anne- Hope the trip with band went well. Sounds like you will be busy now until school lets out...but then..yay..SUMMER. Katy- Oh, allergies. DO hope yours are not kicking your behind quite so badly this week. For some reason my allergies have been manifesting themselves in earaches the last two years. I hate earaches, but at least I can breathe and talk. :) Get better soon! Had a nice week-end here. Family breakfast with DH's fam. on Saturday. His brother was in from out of town. Good times, good food. Yesterday we went to an afternoon brunch with DD and her family. Nice visit...and I got calls from the 3 kids away from here. So, a very pleasant day. It was cold all week-end, but is warming up today (I hope) So..here it is Monday and I am going to get my rear in gear. Have a good week ya'll. |
Hey Ladies!
Hey Ladies!
Well I'm kinda bummed today. :( I WI and gained 3 pounds. :( I know that isn't a huge gain esp since I lost 8 pounds last week, which probably was mostly water weight......But still a gain is a gain and I hate gaining! I totally broke down into tears after and refused to eat breakfast even. (sounds like a toddler now doesn't it? lol) Finally DH talked to me and made me realize that I have still lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks and am eating right + exercising and my blood sugars are normal. I just gotta work harder. :) I think I'm also more emotional due to I've been on Prometrium for about a week now to induce my period, so I think it is making me extra emotional as well. Cristina -- Thanks, haven't heard from the grocery store. Yes I would get a 10% discount, but they are union so I would have union dues taken out, but I know union is a good thing. Yesterday I did some upper body, nothing special just a few exercises I saw online. I'm feeling like a hermit myself. I took a shower and got dressed and was planning on going to see my bff and take a walk with her, but forgot today is the 1st day her daughter goes to daycare before she goes into work and so she's leaving early. Oh well I can go walking alone or just do W.A.T.P but I should get out I guess.....:p Suzy Q -- I hope your feeling better dear! My DH's throats been bugging him so I told him to have a dr check it out at work. Dr said it's viral and probably what is going around at the hospital, all the kids have it. But so far he has no fever or nothing, just a sore throat. My mom is sick too, has bad bronchitis. I told her to get some Delsym and Mucinex. Get Well Darlin! :hug: I know how you feel about being bored with a job, that is how I felt about my last job. Its a miserable feeling I know and if its physically hard, I know that too, used to work in a factory and after my car accident I couldn't do it anymore. So I wish you well! Jules -- Oh so sorry hon to hear about your mom. BIG :hug: Glad there were no infections with Baby Ash. Sue -- No word yet. She said she'd call me. Man I hate that! I may call her tomorrow if I don't hear from her around 3 pm? What do you think? Too pushy? I called her on Friday like she told me too and she acted like I was bothering her even though she TOLD me to call her! UGH. DH was just there this morning and said they are very short handed right now, so maybe just trying to get caught up I guess. I had an ok weekend, it was cold and blechy here. DH is taking off Wed + Thurs so we are planning on maybe going to the Zoo and seeing the Zoo Babies. :) Well girls I need to go walk or do something gotta get rid of those 3 extra pounds+! lol. Big :hug: |
I am overwhelmed. Fever still and feeling chills and just want to sleep. Started boxing up crap in between taking my temp. It's my hobby now. So, much to do and I don't have time not to feel good. Might call sick tomorrow, I have like 1 day I can do that, the rest has to go to Hawaii.
anyway, whatever, I have nothing to say. :( |

Sassy--I say call them or just pop in to let her know you are interested Suzyq--hope you are not to sick and the blue skies, sandy beaches and warm water help you get well really quick...the plane ride will bite the big one if you dont get any better--I say take the sick day!! Cristina, Francie & Katy--cant post on FB till the computer gets fixed or we get a new one. Welcome Anne--I will have to go back and catch up on all your posts!! I have been MIA..on this site..but this is a great group of people |
Wow..it is really dark, and it is mid-morning. The worst of the storm has passed, but it is still dark. Crazy...but the flowers need rain, so we will put up with it.
Mom and I are meeting DD for lunch then going to the grocery store. That is our exciting day. :) Suze- Sure hope you are over the sickies. No fun at all. And we do worry about you. I want you to be well and enjoy your vacation!!! Sassy- *fingers crossed* for you for the job.....still. :) Jules- Hope this storm has "petered" out by the time it gets to you. We had the cold weather...now the wet. I am wishing for just some MILD. I personally love around 70-75 degrees and sunny. Cristina- I see your scales are going down....great! You do so good on the exercise. Makes me feel like a slug. :) Hi to ya'll else. Hope you are having a Happy Hump Day. Once again I am re-thinking our day to day menus and activities. I have had acid reflux and heartburn for years. Nexium helped and I did not have it for the longest time. Dr. took me off that and I have to get over the counter meds for heartburn...none of which are as effective. I have been suffering a lot lately..and it is maddening. So..I am trying to re-group and go the way my son has gone. He cured himself of heartburn by eating well. He has not had pains since he started his new WOL in Feb. He has lost around 20 pounds and is feeling better than he has in a long time. My problem is cooking for others...so I am going to have to get them on board. I am also going to start having our "big" meal mid-day...since we are all here there is no reason not to. And I am sure we will feel better. Our "big" meal is going to consist of lighter fare too. Wish me luck when I run my new ideas past DH....lol. Next to conquer the exercise demon! |
Sue--I totally agree 70's and sunny is perfect!! I have to exorcise my exercise demons myself and start back on my elliptical.
well, back to work. I am so busy and cant get my head above water. |
Hi Ya Chicks!
Hey Chicks :wave:
Well I finished the 3FC's book. Was good, lots of great info. ;) Now starting on my Fertility Dr's book. (he co-wrote a book) I found another exercise DVD to do. I didn't even realize I had it! lol. Its Denise Austin's Daily Dozen. Each day is something different so keeps me from getting bored but dang for only being 12 minutes each, WOW she gives you a workout alright! lol. At least me! My Blood Sugars have been normal as well. ;) I did eat some cookies today, only 4 (they were the girl scout thin mints I have in the deep freeze) So I also did my 1 mile W.A.T.P afterward. Maybe that is how thin people stay thin by only eating a few sweets once in a while and then making sure to get some sort of exercise in after to compensate. I dunno I did it not as a punishment, but because I actually wanted too! Can u believe it?! ME??!! And I so welcomed seeing Leslie's face on W.A.T.P after doing Denise's INTENSE workouts the W.A.T.P DVD was a WELCOME to me! HA! But exercise is starting to get easier, except for some of the really intense stuff on Denise's DVD, I still do it all, I just modify it. I can't hop and jump around all creation like she does, well yet anyways. LMAO. But it is FUN! Yes I said it, FUN. Its fun to be motivated, although I know it won't be like that everyday. I really enjoyed today's workout with Denise, it was Kickboxing, fun stuff but wow its intense. I guess that is the whole point! lol. DH took off a few nights and we planned on going to the Zoo to see the Zoo Babies, but its been so rainy and crappy lately I dunno if we'll get too! Haven't heard anything yet from the store or the Cable Co. I figure on giving them until Friday or Monday and then giving them a buzz. My mom is coming next weekend. She bought me some of those space-bags to help me get our hall closet organized! Its a nightmare! I feel bad though. I don't have the money to get her a Mother's Day or Bday gift (her bday is next Sunday) but I know gifts aren't everything, esp to Mother's. So maybe just a good home-cooked meal? She LOVES my spaghetti and I can make it healthy too. ;) I ate Veggie Burgers the other night that were recommended by a friend. BLECH. :barf: They were yucky, I ate them, but boy oh boy were they crappy. They were the Morning Star brand. Any of you have any suggestions for Veggie or Turkey Burgers? We've been trying every brand under the sun for Turkey Sausage, so far, no luck. Well we did like one that was Honeysuckle, but DH accidentally got the Italian Sausage, which we both liked a lot, but not for breakfast. lol. I plan on using that to make some meatballs when I make spaghetti. ;) Sue -- TRY ZEGRID its over-the-counter now. DH has intense heartburn and has for years, but Zegrid works for him! Or ask your dr for samples of the Zegrid, too see first if it works for ya. Its the same stuff over the counter now as I said DH's been on it and now we buy it over-the-counter. I take Nexium. Also if I don't have my Nexium and have intense heartburn, Mylanta Ultra works the best for me. I hope that works! I know what its like! WTG to your son for losing 20 pounds! I hope I am there soon! :) Big :hug: Jules -- *Throwing her a life line* Hee hee. I hope you get yourself above water soon! Suzy Q -- I hope your feeling better! Hi Cristina!! Big :hug: |
Sassy--"catching the life line" :)
the Morningstar veggie burgers do take some getting used to if you are still eating meat or just quit. We went vegetarian for awhile and the ones I liked were the breaded chicken patty, the black bean and the tomato basil. The mushroom one is ok. I have gotten more used to the regular grillers, don't like the prime griller. We all liked the Mornigstar sausage patties and links, the bacon is an aquired taste, its better crisper but most times I just go with turkey bacon. Teri even has JR eating the links which have always been her favorite, Dominic loves them. I use the burger crumbles for tacos, but I actually like a Quorn burger crumble better if you can find it. Quorn makes something called naked cutlets that I like. I made really low calorie Chicken Parmigiana with the naked cutlets, low calorie spaghetti sauce and low calorie cheese. Well back to work!! |
Hey Chicks
Hey Chickies!
Wow I feel awful. I have this MASS HEADACHE from you know where and my throat hurts! UGH! Stupid germs from DH's work! lol. I just hope I'm not getting sick because DH took off a few days and I don't wanna be sick now!! HA! Can't I just postpone it a few days? Hmmmm? Like Sunday night, yeah I can be sick Sunday night, pls? lol. Just not now! HA! I wish it worked like that! LOL. I feel like a big ole slacker too. I just got up a little bit ago, I laid down to try to feel better to no avail. Haven't walked or worked out yet either and I need too. I figure as long as I am not "praying to the porcelain Gods" than I can workout. Makes me mad cuz my BFF called and her and her little girl went to the park and I could have went but oh no I got to be sick and was sleeping! lol. Her little girl is so cute! She talked to me on the phone (she is 2) and we were talking about what Doggies say (Woof!) and what Kitties say (Meow) and then her Mom asked her what Cows say and she goes Mooooo. LOL. She even tried to say my name "She-a" (Thats pretty good for her age and kids have the toughest time with my name!) Oh my that just made my whole day! :) Aren't little ones just the cutest? :love: Jules -- Thanks for the suggestions! I saw Morning Star Sausage at Costco and was wondering about them. I do have some what they call, "Naked Nuggets" that are pretty good as well. We haven't quit eating meat just trying different things. Trying to be healthier. ;) So I appreciate all the advice we can get!! :) I really feel like this time its gonna work for me. I honestly do. Thanks to all my dear sweet friends :hug: I just want to enjoy life and living and I feel like for the first time in a LONG time, I honestly feel like I am doing so. Even though I need to get out more, that is for sure! But this crazy weather makes it difficult. OH my PEONIES and Rhododendron have bloomed! I am waiting for my Rose Bush to bloom and take a pic of that and then I will post pics on my Facebook to share. Also another Wild flower is blooming in the back yard that I have no clue of what it is, maybe one of you can help me on that. It has purple flowers on it. I'll post it once my rose bush blooms. Kinda figure may as well wait and post them all together! No word from anybody yet, job wise. I think I'm gonna call tomorrow if I don't hear from them by 3 pm. I'm done waiting. Cuz we need the money! If they can't offer me a job by now then I need to think about going to Wendys. I don't want too, not that there is anything at all wrong with working at fast food, I just don't want to tempt myself on it. I already stopped there a while back to apply and was in the parking lot and was tempted to eat there, so I left without applying. Thats when the grocery store called and I figured it was sign. But still no job offer even though she said she was just waiting on the list of postions. Now do you all think that could be an excuse to not hire me? Because I figure if she wasn't interested, then she would have just said, "Well it was nice to meet you, we are going to be doing more interviews, so I will give you a call." Rather than said, "Call me on Friday (last Friday) to see if I have the list of positions yet" I called and she acted like I was bothering her even though she TOLD me to call her! Then she was like, "I don't have the list yet, I will call YOU when I get them!" I dunno but either way I'm calling tomorrow. I figure she owes me an explanation either way its been a WEEK. Just freakin tell me WOMAN so I know do I have to go work at Wendy's and be tempted by fast food or NOT!! (DH already spoke to the Manager at Wendy's and he just said to put in my application any time and I pretty much would have the job) so that is why I say that. UGH. Why can't the freakin cable co. or someone call me? I left messages for the cable co. and still no word! People irritate me! I mean come on, they know people need work now a days! I was so dumb to quit my job! I know I can't cry over spilled milk now, but I was so dumb! I should have stayed! Oh well could be worse I could be homeless and hungry. At least we got that. I dunno whats the matter with me. Feeling sorry for myself I guess. That gets you no where fast I know. Wish I could find a way to make money from home. Can't really babysit because my DH sleeps during the day. I could babysit from another persons house but even that is a hard thing to find now a days for money that I can live on. If I could only do like medical transcription or something. Hmmmm. I know my friend I think does that on the side. Maybe I can talk to her. See what she had to do. If I could work from home then I wouldn't have to make a whole of money, just enough to help out with some bills. Plus I wouldn't have to stand all day either like I would at the store or fast food. I guess I need to do some research and just stop feeling sorry for myself. So that is what I am going to do. Thanks for listening ladies, you are all the BEST! BIG :hug: |
