Howdy Girls
this is pretty much the first evening I've had to myself in the last 4 weeks to go online, other than to pay bills. We are home this weekend because of the heat wave & Dh went outside to mow our 4 acre lawn at 8pm with the lawn tractor because it's cooled down, time for me now... So I just read through your posts.
Happy ~ whatever food style or rules that you & Dh try following, you can always tweak a recipe. When I was a chef for a few clients that did Keto like Annie does, I was online frequently to get Keto approved substitutes for flour, sugar, etc to bake & do pasta. You have the Willpower of a Warrior when it comes to your health, so why not try a few diet/food styles for a few weeks each & whichever pleases you stick with it for a month or 2 & then possibly alternate like ppl do with exercising
Annie ~ Girl your vacation plans sound Wonderful
I wish that I lived in the same state with you, because we could do date night with our hubbys & they could fish together while we ate Keto food
because whenever I don't feel like eating my bun with my food or if I decide to eat my pizza topping & not my crust my Dh has a remark about me Wasting food, etc. Strength in numbers
eating with you, he'd see my choices are Not odd, that other ppl don't always eat flour carbs/starch. How do the boys do with the loud fireworks, our g-babes still use the sponge earplugs even though they are older now. Enjoy, Enjoy
vacations always seem to end wayyy to quickly!
Ceeg ~ Such fun to be with your friends from High School again & reminisce your years of craziness when we thought We knew Everything about the world
& we all had wonderful teenager bodies
Susie ~ WoW I am sooo envious that you can run a mile
Before I tore my meniscus this spring I liked being like you do, walking a mile then jogging a mile because it gave me energy, I can only walk now. Hopefully I'll have my knee surgery (Dh's work/health insurance requirements) before going to Donna's to see Joy & our gang next May. How's Genny this week, it will be comforting if she can celebrate July 4th as she normally does
Laura ~ Living in Chi town I can just imagine all the holiday things & foodie festivals you can choose from
I saw on TV a chef make a 'cheat cocktail' with booze & a no alcohol drink with soda, using fruity no sugar popsicles in a blender. I have Skinny Girl -Bethany Frankel low carb alcohol to try with a coconut milk popsicle I'll try out. Do you do anything with your mom over July 4th? I wonder if older ppl feel left out or still enjoy seeing fireworks.
Shad~ I'm happy that you enjoyed your trip & you are safely home. We look forward to hearing about your trip
Our friends that both have full time jobs & also manage a boat marina hired me in June. So that's why I haven't been here & then when Dh gets out of work he comes to see me & then he goes fishing. I live in a swimsuit with shorts or a sarong every work day because I have to go in the water when ppl rent a kayak or a stand-up paddle board & they need me to give them basic lessons & about water safety, I just put a closed sign on the door about giving a lesson. We supply free life jackets, some ppl want videos while learning & falling off their boards
I did learn some easy yoga using a Peggy C. video like Happy said. So after my knee surgery I'll learn more yoga at a class so I can teach yoga on the paddle board next summer, I've gotten several requests to teach paddle board yoga this month at the marina from ppl that live on their houseboat.
See y'all next week, have a Fun-Cooling-Safe July 4th week
