BooHoo for today .....I drink ice tea daily in the summer, but not after yesterday's new info. Well my dh's bf Rick's internal doc. told Rick to stop drinking green/black tea, or limit it to 8 oz 2x wk because it adds to kidney stone risk & his bf Rick suffered for 5 weeks to get rid of his k-stones. My dh almost tossed all my yummy green/black tea out. I do make herb tea/fruity water but I like my ice tea/hot tea. Hmmm benefits of caffenated tea VS danger of k-stones inside me ....I can live w/o caffeine tea, I can make others from fresh herb leaves. I do love the pineapple basil/mint teas & fresh cucumber/watermelon,etc. waters....Bummer about the tea, but the breast surgeon did warn me against drinking more than 8 oz coffee/tea daily after my biopsy years ago....

Carri, I wish I was 'you with a brother' to lunch with. Cancer bit my brother & sis yrs ago & I'm alone now; just my 2 boys & 4 babes & dh; w distant nieces/nephews. Fresh Sangria by the pool yesterday, I'd hit that! I hope your dh brought you home a glass I watched HC, MC -fox & Love in the Wild -nbc last night & my dh watched sports.

Susie, you r too sweet thinking that I could eat a small bag of m&m's. 'Go Big or Go home' I munched down a mixed zip-lock bag completely filled w 'almond-pb-peanut-mint-plain flavor' that I had for the kids, I ate my son Seth's bag I will have a 2# gain @ tops....oh, well....stuff happens....Eve started it all when she ate that yummy apple I'm still waiting for a Susie pic in my pm/e-mail....I showed everyone my bad hair day, your turn now....

Anyone watching 'Love In the Wild' w Jenny M. the next best thing till BB comes on next month...Glass House (sp?) on abc is next to check. It's like we're just a bunch of bored teenagers, watching these brain-dead reality shows to keep our minds off the sad/scary/depressing things that r happening in the world (free & relaxing evening entertainment)

I hope everyone is close to being OP It's hot & whenever I cann't wear a bathing suit/to b wet & cool; I'll b in the AC on 85* days, like Carri does. Susie is our 5k girl.

Gotta go sew some more sun-dress orders now. Bye Girls, Dee

Afternoon Ladies – hope you all are having a good day so far ….last night was a first – I tried venison ( deer ) for the first time…I was hesitant to try it but the lady who was serving it at our friends house told me it was very good, that she shot the animal and butchered it herself …so I sort of felt in an awkward way that I had to try it, plus it was the only protein they were serving and I have to have that with my meals…so I tried it and much to my amazement it tasted like beef to me, a lot leaner beef ….I still had trouble getting over the whole eating deer issue and don’t think I could eat it regularly but there you go, my story for the day, haha

It is a beautiful day here, in the high 70’s ….better enjoy it while I can since it is gonna be near 90 tomorrow and then 90’s all weekend , ughhhh ….ah well, such is Summer ( although I know technically not Summer yet )

Dee – sorry to hear that, don’t know what I would do without my Starbucks green tea’s in the Summer…I didn’t know that about the stones, that is interesting, my dh loves tea too although he has never had any stones.
I am so sad to hear about your brother and sister, that makes my heart ache for you.
You said you were sewing sun dresses, and I really want some for Summer, at least a couple, I know Old Navy has some nice casual ones I can run around in this Summer
No, I am not watching Love in the Wild, for some reason Jenny McArthy annoys me….lol

Hi Susie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going right after work to get some more flats of flowers, so you know what I will be doing for the evening.

Have a great one girls.

Carri

Hello. I meant to make it here yesterday but didn't. It was a long work day; I was at the office from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. It's end of fisical so long days here getting everything done.

I have not worked out one day this week! I get so disappointed with myself when I don't. It's because I dont' make myself a priority. I'm going to be up at TOPS tonight. I'll deal with it and get back OP.

Dee: Are you making those maxi dresses that everyone is wearing? I LOVE to wear any sort of dresses and skirts in the summer. It just feels good to have them on with sandels.

I was so sorry to read about your brother and sister. As I have watched my cousin's deal with the loss of their brother it just makes my heart ache for all of you!

I promise to send a picture. I just haven't been on my home computer to get one sent off to you. It will happen this weekend.

Carri: I think it is very cool that you and your brother "do" lunch.
I was laughing when I read your deer meat story. That is what I go through with EVERY other kind of animal protein.

Just got home from tops WI, only 1/2# gain today I am still in shock, I planned the scale to be up 2# from eating a extra 1,000 cal. daily from snacks w my 2 babes. Instead of going to lunch w the girls I went to my fav bakery & got myself my fav 'cookie long-jon', soo rich & sinfully delicious

Yep, I love-love-love wearing sundresses/skirts June-Sept. Me & my clients wear all the styles & the styles r classic every season, sundresses r never on the 'don't wear fashion list'. Some colors r the 'in color' to have like 'coral' is a 'in color' now. I love making short wrap-skirts/sarongs to replace shorts; so cute & feminine & easy to wear for sizing-up or down (weight gain/loss during the summer) I love to do long maxi-skirts/dresses w sheer over-lays & so many pretty breathable/cool fabrics for career-wear & casual & dressy days.
But on my tom-boy side, I'll make shorts/slacks/tops w ruffles, eyelet fabric, 'sweet' enough to let a guy know who wears the 'nail polish' yet we can compete w him & kick his butt if we choose to do it.

Carri, I hope you got some yummy herb plants also, nothing better than cooking w them fresh or making tea/flavored water. One year I mixed some chives in my flower bed & cause chives r perennials & seed themselves, I've had chives pop-up everywhere & dh/friends just pick them & eat. The babes came indoors from playing & had 'sweet oniony breath' last week.

Susie, You always do well w/o your work-out friend I know your WI will be good tonight! How did your landscaping go a few weeks ago? I know your pic will b cute as a button I have a Asian friend named Suzie too.

If you girls want a kill-resistant perennial plant that multiplies itself, try a Iris for summer & violets for the spring; mine more than triple every year if you have at least 1/2 day of sun. We like trading plants/flowers w friends, cause everybody has different soil content & gets different flower colors/veggie flavors. My apples & grapes r wonderful, but my raspberries have biennial fruit. We grow organically, no chemicals in 11 yr except for dish soap or beer for bugs.
What perennials do you each grow that multiply quickly? I have sun, not much shade in my gardens. What do you enjoy?

Break-time is over, trying to work a 7 hr-8 hr day now, like my doc told me to do.
Be Good y'all Dee

Hey Girls Talkin to ya while flying/on a plane down to Georgia to a party tonight. I got bored looking @ the clouds so here I am w you.... I have a salon appt when I land, getting about 4" cut-off, not sure of the style yet & probably go back to my natural color (dark strawberry blonde-light chestnut) I've been medium blonde for 4-5 yr now, it's Time for another adventure

Girl I've sewn for about 8 yr is turning 40 yr & paid for my ticket for the weekend. When she moved south 2 yr ago, we started having skype appointments for her clothing....Of course I'm bringing her a awesome b-day gift, a portfolio/album of pics of her in each garment I've sewn for her over the years. She's a realator so she likes her clothes....

Dh bought a ticket & came w me; he still gets jealous of me talking w other guys, even though I'm about 11 yr more than him (he says 'I'm only older on my birth-certif/not my body/personality, he gets pissed if I try to use birth age as a Win to get my way on stuff I will not cheat on a guy I love. After being married to him for 16 yr, I guess his still being jealous isn't a bad thing. He was married to his ex-w 9 yr when she cheated on him & they had 2 kids 4 yr & 7 yr.

Hmmm, turbulance just made me talk tooo much. If dh knew what I just shared, he'd yell @ me, oh wth, it's true. I've heard some of the private & sex talk the guys say omg, like listening to teenage guys sometimes

Dh wants to use the laptop now, we'll land in a hour & adventure is waiting.

Have a wonderful weekend, talk to you Monday. Dee

ps: I am not responsible for anything I said, or my typos while flying above 1,000 feet.

Morning Girls …TGIF !!!!!!! I am tired and need to sleep in and do some house cleaning this weekend ...last night for dinner we had corn on the cob and grilled steak …I bought these sirloin steaks off of QVC ( Kansas City brand ), of course as I have said before I am a QVC idiot ( I buy from them A LOT ) they are 4oz sirloins and only 160 cals, so I thought it would be good for me since I like steak and these are pre-portioned …got them yesterday and they are tiny…looks like a tiny strip steak …but I thought really we are only supposed to have 4 oz portions of meat anyhow so I went with it, probably not enough food for dh though – but we did also have two ears of corn each. I didn’t dare weigh myself this morning because I had a lot of salt last night …I love my corn heavily salted ( used I Can’t Believe Its Not Butter Spray for my butter although I want REAL butter so bad )…so will drink a lot of water today to flush it out and weigh in tomorrow or Sunday ….

I did step on scale yesterday and was 206, so I am hoping to see 205 by Monday to get my 2lb loss for the week. I am on the hunt for Onederland 2 lbs at a time people !!!! LOL

Susie – a 7-7 day ? 12 hours? Woof !! That is a long one. You better do some relaxing this weekend…yes me and my brother only work about 2 mins from eachother so we do lunch once or twice a week …we are pretty close so that is nice …It is hard to eat meat sometime, especially if I have to prepare it and see it raw I have a harder time…chicken is the worst.

Dee – So you celebrate your only 0.5 lb gain with a big cookie??? Now that is my style, haha …sounds delicious. I am going to have to go out this weekend and look for some long maxi summer dresses…gonna be 90’s here this weekend so I need something cooler…no, I didn’t get any herbs but I would like to, I LOVE chives on anything so that sounds really good…

I have a beautiful rose bush that seems to double in size every year, it is beautiful with big pink/fushia ( spelled wrong I know ) blooms …besides that the only thing I have that comes up every year is greenery, like bushes and some hastas.

Have a good Friday everyone…hope my work day FLIES by !!!!

Carri

Hi Ladies,

I only had a .50 gain at TOPS last night. I was sure it would be more as I wasn't working out or keeping track of what was going in my mouth.

I will say that during that time I was trying to be aware of what I was eating at the time and very careful to have water only. So I guess that was a big help.

Dee: WOW! someone is flying you to FL?! how great is that! and what a neat gift you are bringing her.

As for DH..I think it is good that our men get a little jealous sometimes, it means that they think we are valuable and don't want someone to "steal" us away.

Congrats on not having a big gain..let's both work really hard this week to get these gains off along with some more lbs!

As for perennials, I don't have any! I just started working with flowers and such. Right now I am a container/pot flower person. When do you plan iris so it will come up the next year? I like that flower.

Carri: Can't wait to see you hit that 2lb mark at your weigh-in this week..that is a very good steady weight loss! You will be in ONDderland soon.

I am having such a great time talking to Carri and Dee everyday; those of you who used to pop in, you are missing some great posts and we are missing you..so I hope to see you all back soon!

Hi. Seems to be a very quiet weekend here....

I had a great weekend. Saturday I was busy with my friend Ann's girls, who I call my nieces. Ann and her DH had a college graduation to attend on Saturday morning and needed someone they could drop the girls off to unti labout 12:30. So, they were here at 8:30 a.m. and we feed them breakfast, played a game of trouble, then the 5 yr old twins were picked up at 10 for a b-day party, the 8 yr old and I had an errand to run before her drumming lesson at 11 and the 11 year old went grocey shopping with my DH.

The twins had their own b-day party at 2 and at 6:30 was my birthday dinner, that was postponed from last week due to the funeral. I had 18 people there, including all my nieces and nephews. We did it at a local resturant that serves the most wonderful italian food and I enjoyed a nice glass of blush wine from a local vineyard.

The food was good and I was surrounded my "babies" and it was all just perfect. My "babies" who I call my nieces and nephwes are Aiden (2 yrs old) and Asher (1 yr old) (my brother and his partners' sons), my friends Ann and Dow's girls, Cailyn (11), Layna (8), Aidynne (5) and Bryn (5), my friends Dick and Carolyn's gradaughter (they rasie her) MaKenna (10).

Makenna brought me flowers and a card that said I was the best Aunt ever and that I was smart, kind and beautiful! You can't beat that.

Today we took DH's father to breakfast and I bought a few more things to put in the landscaping/decorating project we started over Memorial Day weekend. Then I came home and took a nap!

I have done well with my food and not having any soda..that not having soda is a big thing for me. When I don't have it, I keep my food under control.

My workout partner (Ann) is back until Wednesday so we have workouts planned for Monday and Tuesday. It will be good to get this body moving again.

I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone was this weekend.

Dee: check your email..I sent pictures!

Morning Ladies, hope you all had a good weekend celebrating Fathers day with your Fathers ( if you are lucky enough to still have them as I am ) or with your husbands and children. I don’t feel as if I had much of a weekend since we hardly weren’t home, didn’t get to sit on my butt and relax enough I guess…and now this morning, back to work…ughhhhh

Weigh in showed me at 205 this weekend…had a lot of salt yesterday in my foods and was back up to 206 this morning, but I know that isn’t a true weight and will be back down to 205 tomorrow, so keeping the 205.

Anyone watching the Extreme Makeover; Weightloss Edition? I think they have only had two on so far but they are pretty good…on Sunday nights, but can’t remember what channel…think abc …but anyway check it out if you get a chance.

Susie – GREAT job staying away from the soda, I know it is very hard, I crave it myself…just yesterday I wanted a Welch’s grape soda SO bad, my dh was like just go ahead and have one, “treat yourself”, and in all honesty I probably should have since I have been so strict but I just couldn’t do it, maybe after I am firmly planted back in Onederland will I have my next little cheat…glad you had such a good time with your babies and family at your birthday dinner, I love Italian…love love love it….Don’t worry about the small gain…half a lb is nothing

Hi Dee !! Hope you had a great weekend !!!

Well back to work ….have a good one

Carri

Morning Ladies ….so two months ago I buy the cutest pair of jean capri’s with a design on the leg cuff …they have to be a certain length to be able to wear to work, and these were the first pair I found that were like that ….fast forward to today, I have never worn them but it is getting really hot here so I thought I would wear today ….guess what? Way too big now….and yes, that is a good thing but not really ….one I love them, so cute, and two they were 49.99 …I still wore them to work today because I wanted too, haha….I have only been here for a half hour and two people have told me they are too big, and one person has offered to buy them off of me….looking back I wish I would have bought them really tight ….but ya know I bought them when they first put out all their Summer stuff ( Avenue store ) back in like April, and who would have known I would actually be losing weight still, lol …………………….oh well, what are ya gonna do I guess ….least I got one day out of them ….oh and did I mention that they are SO comfortable ?????

And speaking of comfort, it is so not comfortable weather wise here ….what kind of temps are you girls having? We are having 90’s every day, hot and sticky, ick !!! Of course the a/c is working double time ( have set on 73 though ) …so that bill will be nice ….plus we are getting no rain, everything looks really bad, everybody’s grass is like hay ….not the pretty Summer you think of that is for sure….

If this is the way the Summer is going to be it is going to be a LONG one and one that I stay inside for most of haha …we have close friends that have a really nice in ground pool, but of course at this point I am still not going to get in a suit in front of anyone, not even close friends …but who knows I may get desperate …

Hope you all have a good day today ….and if we have any lurkers come out and start chatting with us, we need more peeps !!!! You are all welcome !!

See ya !!

Carri

Hi y'all We got home from Georgia late Sunday night & I had tons to do so I couldn't drop-by Monday.

Susie, TY for the pics. You r 'pretty & cute' so don't b shy about your pic Hmm the guys, r they yours too, nice body-guards Your landscaping is pretty, have you ever planted some Violets & hen's & chicks & Iris they'll help keep the weeds from coming by multiplying every year, that's why I love perennials, no expense yearly/just divide them to make more beautiful areas & they block-out the yucky weeds coming back yearly. I loved your wonderful, fun weekend, did you eat any cannolli @ the restaraunt, yumm I love mine filled w chocolate & strawberries! You forgot to tell us your fav cake, I might have made you 1 if you had told me & had it overnighted to you, my b-day present to you Well when you r turning 49/50 yr add me to your guest list to come down & celebrate w you What was your fav b-day gift, not including people/dinner? I hope your wishes come true from blowing out your candles

Carri, yesterday was International Sushi day, did you go out to eat? You know I'm a foodie, here's a nice link for you: http://www.wikihow.com/Practice-Sushi-Etiquette I stop by QVC to check TSV & shop & look @ the designs to see what the public is buying & I found the cutest dress, go peek ISAACMIZRAHILIVE Sleeveless Ruffle Neck Knit Dress w/ Belt, item A201516 $39.98 Black, Mulberry, Azalea. I'm sure it will look great on 'you, Susie & me', we'd b the 3 Fat Chick triplet-friends, to wear & go-out together No necklace needed w the ruffle neckline, just some cuff-bracelets, drop earrings, rings & gorgeous nails. I don't have time to sew for myself anymore this summer; only for my clients, so I may order 1 dress for a extra summer back-up, black or mulberry before they sell-out.

on you losses! So r you going back to the store & getting another pair of the capris that r falling off you today Remember I told you about landsend.com check out the sale page & buy some swim-suits, buy the new style tankini bottom that has a little skirt & then a tankini top you like, no rules in swimwear colors no-matchy-matchy needed, just buy 1 size larger bottom so it won't stretch-out & will fit great as you lose weight or buy a bottom w tummy control. Plus you can wear a sarong before you get in your friends pool, enjoy yourself & splash

Girls, rain we had rain all day Monday in MI, nothing brown here, all green & pretty & low 80*s most of this summer so far. Our weekend trip in Georgia was muggy & hot, but a fun time. Because she always uses me as a business expense for her career-wear/stylist she wrote-off my plane ticket & I did a new fitting while I was there, she hasn't had me do custom measurements since she moved from MI to Georgia 2 yr ago, always e-mailing me any body changes every 6 months, we talk/e-mail monthly w her clothes wardrobe. She is co-owner of a real estate co. & has both casual career-wear & dressy & could buy her clothes anywhere she has the $ & she's a size 10-12 easy to fit, (she calls me her stylist, a affordable-personal Vera Wang). We became friends after I began designing/sewing for her in MI; I did sarongs for the 25 girl guests & tie-dyed shirts for the 25 guys as party favors (she asked everyone their sizes in their RSVP's & they thought it was part of a game) & FedEx delivered them a week prior to her 2-day party weekend.

My desk-top computer bit-it last week & the parts just came yesterday so I'll re-build it tonight while watching HK-MC, if I miss the end, I'll b back tomorrow for details, otherwise I might b too busy to come back for a few days. Okay last night I saw the Bachelorette & was happy w her decisions, yay Ryan is gone, I think she should have kept John & sent Doug home though...I don't like wishy-washy men & Doug seems to b like that. Umm the guy she gave a rose to...25 yr & he didn't win on the challenges something about him annoys the H out of me, something is not right w him....OMG next week Ari gets busted for dating her friend, will he stay or go, I'd kick him to the curb, that is a betrayal keeping that secret, I feel if a guy would do that, he'd cheat/adultery in a marriage...Cut-him loose Emily!
Who went home on HK & MC ??? I saw a few minutes of the shows & The Glass House, seems to suck, Big Brother don't worry, you r still #1

I gotta get back to work, I will b MIA on Friday-Thur. next week, we're going camping & my laptop stays home.

Does anyone have a iPad? Which version & your pro's/con's? TY

Mandy, Cassie, Mel, Liz, Arabella Have a Safe & Fun Summer! Dee

It felt great to get back to the gym last night. We did the rowing machine for 12 min (mind you we did it in 4 min incraments--there is a game you can play while rowing; you try to eat fishes and not get eaten and it's 4 min long). What a cardio workout! Then we went to the weight room . Usually we are there on Wed and it's just us in the summer, but last night was FULL of eye-candy!

Tonight we will do our 5k walk. We usually do it on the last week of the month but she is gone next week so tonight it is. We have agreed we are just doing it to do the distance. To hot to push for time.

Dee: Thank you for the kind words on my pictures. I'm not to shy about my pictures but I always want to be sure that I have on something flattering.

It's strange but even at my weight I get a lot of looks from men and I get asked out a lot. My DH has told me that he thinks I keep weight on because I hide behind it as best I can. I don't know..I dont' think about that much. I just know I eat for comfort and I work every day on not doing that. It's like a drug to me.

This is my first attempt at any sort of landscaping and so I haven't put anything in the ground. I'm more of a container person right now.

Your trip to FL sounds awesome and how nice of you to have a client who can do those sort of things. Dee, I think you could be a STAR (well, you are a star to us) but you have decided to keep it all low-key and that's ok!

Dee: It is hot hear too but we have had some really nice summer storms go through in the past 3 days so everything is watered and pretty lush.

As for your to big jeans..sell them to that lady and go by some that fit! You have worked hard for it!

Ok..got to get back to work.

Morning Ladies …Hope you all had a good night …today is the first official day of Summer And it is going to be a HOT one 94 degrees today and still no rain to speak of ...everyone's yard looks like straw, nothing is lush and green...we haven't had rain in what seems like months...we need it so bad.

Speaking of first day of Summer, I know that a lot of people say this is the longest day of the year and the days start getting shorter after today but I spoke to a local weatherman recently and he said that technically the days don't start getting short until more like around July 4th...which I have a question for Dee ...right now it gets dark here around 9:50 but someone was telling me that in MI it doesn't get dark until 10:30 ...is that true? If so that stinks, I thought 9:50 was horrible

Dee - yes I may end up getting a swimsuit, haven't decided yet ...last night I had a bad night and went over my cals by about 800-900 with popcorn and buttered toast....must have been craving carbs, haha So feeling bloated today and not real keen on buying clothes, haha ...no, I didnt go and get any sushi, thanks for the link, I will check it out ...I don't have an Ipad but I LOVE my Iphone

Bachlorette - I haven't watched MOndays episode yet but did read that she let Ryan go, I was okay with that ...but am sad to hear that Ari did that...I was kind of thinking her and Ari would end up together in the end.

Master Chef - Glad that the blind chef is doing so well ...she impresses them every time and she impresses me every time... great show

HK - I don't understand why these girls argue all of the time, they got a bad group this year...too many cooks in the kitchen I guess

Susie - I am so proud of you for all of the exercise that you do...you are doing great I am so jealous of your storms that went thru, as I said we need it so bad ...the farmers around here are in a lot of trouble right now, feel bad for them.

They have even been telling people around here not to do fireworks because it is so dry we are having little fires...which I don't mind, don't like the noise anyhow haha

As I said to Dee, I didn't have a good night last night OP wise, went over my cals quite a bit, not like I do it that often, so probably helps me a little, keeps my body guessing

Today is a NEW day !!! And I want ice cream !!!!!!!!!!! But maybe I get a Starbucks green tea ( sugar free ) instead.

See ya girls, stay cool

Carri

Hi Ladies.

I want to tell you that 5k walk on Tuesday about killed me. We did it in 50 min, so a bit slower than usual but we weren't trying to do fast just the distance because of the heat and it was HOT! Carri, I think you would have died since you hate the heat so much.

I keep having a issue with my left leg. It is in the hamstring area and up high. It is always tight and when I stretch it hurts and feels good all at the same time. I must have flared up something on Tuesday as it now aches like a toothache. I am stretching and also massaging it using a tennis ball to help work into that muscle. I think that I might need to see a sports theripist or something as that tightness never goes away completely.

I am watching the Bachlorette as while and I felt like Ryan was a player..it would be fun to hang with someone like that for just the thrill but not for the long haul!

I finally watched one of the Extreme Makeovers last night, it was with the guy from CA. He looked amazing and to think what all happened to him in a year and he still lost the weight. Spoke volumes to me ladies....time to pull my head out of my a*#% and start working harder.

We have a company Olympic competetion today at 2 at a local park. I do not want to go...it's going to be hot! I did volunteer to help run one of the games..I asked for something out of the sun. I did bring sunscreen.

Tonight is TOPS and just not sure of this weigh-in.

Carri: It isn't like you to go over your calories like that and I do think it was a carb craving. Enjoy your Starbucks green tea ( sugar free ) and yeah for you for choosing that over ice cream. Stay strong girl!

Dee: Hope to hear from you soon as I know you will be going on your trip next week!

Morning Ladies …hope you are all doing well …I don’t know what it is lately but for the past couple of days I have just been kind of “blah” about my weight loss and dieting …I had a good day yesterday, was OP ….just seems like suddenly the weight loss has slowed to a crawl for some reason and I am getting discouraged…I know a lot of people say that losing 1 – 1.5 a week is good but it’s too slow for me I guess …maybe because I have so much to lose that I want it to happen NOW …and probably because I put so much emphasis on being in Onederland that the closer my body gets to that the more we ( me and my body ) fight it, haha ….I just want to see that 1 number on the scale …

Just having some discouraging days I guess ….plus it’s so hot here lately ( in the mid 90’s ) and that always brings me down, hate heat …plus I want to walk and with it being so hot outside I can’t …Heat effects me really easily for some reason, always has …so don’t want to overheat outside and be sick…suppose to cool off next week quite a bit so I can get out then and get some exercise …I think my body is needing it now to kick in the next chunk of weight loss

How are you all doing?

Susie - you are SO right, I probably would pass out from the heat, like I said above, I just do really bad in it ...my face doesn't sweat and it gets so red that people actually worry about me ...wasnt bred for heat, hahaha
But you are doing a great job ...and you know I always think the same thing when I watch those Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition shows...so inspiring ....

Hi Dee !!!

Have a good day all

Carri
