Went to an Octoberfest yesterday. The weather was beautiful. Lots of people, flea market vendors, music, crafts, food and hit and miss engines.

I love all the food ideas for your office party. My favorite is the banana ghosts and pumpkins. Some people are so creative!

Enjoy the great weather!

Took off work today since still feeling sick from yesterday. Have a bad cold. :tired: Have to go back to work tomorrow whether I feel good or not. Trying to take it easy and take good care of myself today so I can make the best of it tomorrow. Drinking lots of hot tea, soup, and taking cold medicine. I will do what I can.

Feeling a little bit better today. Taking medicine to help fight the coughing/congestion. Just a bad cold. The congestion in my head causes me to feel a little off balanced, so I have to be careful sometimes. Drinking hot tea too to help.

I bet Steel was happily trotting along on his outing. You are one lucky lady. I can just imagine how wonderful your day was with the two of you going out and around the area. Glad you are having a good weather to enjoy it. It has been very warm here the last few days, and is suppose to be again tomorrow. I think Friday it will turn cooler.

Looking for new recipes tonight. However, just looking at pictures of food makes me feel nauseated. If only dieting could be just as easy. :)

I noticed a few maple trees on our block are now half red. They look beautiful. It was very warm out tonight and very nice for a walk through the neighborhood looking at the all the Halloween decorations. I know it is suppose to get cold out and blustery either Thursday or Friday. So I was enjoying the last bit while I could.

Feeling a little better today. However, it seems to vary through the day.

I think I need to get active in some aerobic exercises. I plan on doing them at home. I will have a bit more time in another week or so, then I will have to find a few interesting ones, and give them a try. If I find any good ones, I will let you know.

Not as warm today with a bit of rain. Grocery shopping today, need to load up on fruit and stay away from the snack isle. I am extra motivated as I am helping my sister plan an April marriage and I would like to look less "fluffy". Both she and her fiance have lost their spouses, but they have known each other for 40 years. I am so happy for her!

Have an awesome day!

How exciting to help plan a wedding!! For your sister too. Sorry to hear about their losses, but glad they will have each other to share many happy days together. :cheers:. Now you will have a real target date to keep you motivated and on track. ;)

Hope your cold is getting better......

We got some rain today. Still kind of warm. Expect that to change by tomorrow. Didn't get a chance to exercise tonight. Traffic was horrible, and it took me 2 1/2 hours to get home. I wasn't happy about that. Too many accidents, rain, and just late in the day to head home. I will have to make up the exercise time tomorrow with my pooch.

My cold is slowly going away. Feel much better today. It is not slowing me down as much now.

Tomorrow is weigh-in. Good luck! Hope you have a great Saturday.:cb:

Down 1 lb. :) Cleaned out my tack room and garden room yesterday. Put all the liquid stuff down in the cellar, so it doesn't freeze. It's supposed to freeze here tonight. Raining and windy right now. Guess I will catch up on my reading today.

Have a great weekend!

And my scale says......just the same weight, no change. I thought for sure I would be down 1lb. Renee-you did great!!! You dropped a 1 lb, so you should be down to 216 or even lower.

We had cold weather here today. I was riding my bike in the rain. Cleaned the house later on, then took my dog to a few pet stores to look for some new fetching toys for him. He loves going in the stores. So many different smells. I ended up finding 3 new ones for him. He already chewed up the one of them while I was working him this evening. Glad it was on sale. He already beat me to sleep this evening, so he must have had a good work out.

Blustery and chilly today. Didn't do much of anything yesterday except bake a cake for fellowship hour at church today. I have a few hay customers coming later today.
I'm making better food choices. Not so many carbs. I feel less bloated and hopefully I can drop the belly fat.

Have an awesome Sunday!

Scrambled egg/black bean/bell pepper wrap

Felt good this morning, but later started getting a headache and nauseated. Guessing I was dehydrated, so I took some aspirin and drank some water. Felt better in the afternoon after a nap. Took my dog out to work him on some basic big ball herding. Day one for that. I think he likes his rope on a ball better. He can get his mouth around that and bite it. The big ball he can't bite, but has to nudge it. Once he gets use to that, we will make better progress.

I need to start working on my pushups and sit-ups again. If I try to do 10 a day of each, that would be a good start. Eventually it will be habit forming. I just need to get into the routine.

What kind of cake did you make? That was nice of you to make one. Good for you for figuring out a way to tackle your carbs.

Wow this was a quick weekend. I hope you have a great week! http://www.myemoticons.com/emoticons...random/sun.gif
