Anagram becareful with that cold if it gets any worse you should visit the dr. I had to in order to get med's. They say if it gets worse antibotic is the only answer. Good luck and get some soup into yourself and some hot tea.
Arabella thanks for the support. I need all I can get somedays. I am trying my best to make some positive changes. Yesterday was a healthier day for sure. Still have those brownies in the house. They are going to the grandkids today! Those little ones can use a choc. boost mom will love it!
28days to Hawaii boy I gotta be good to make some great changes before I go. My son told me he has avocado trees, tangerines, mangoes and those little bitty oranges? Can't remember the name. So lots of fruit at his house. I will love it and plan to make some mango salsa hot of course. I have had a crazy busy work week. I plan on working reg. hrs. today if its not snowing hard I will go to the gym before coming home. If it snows video workout. I gotta keep it going here!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day everyone eat healthy and move alot!

I too have had a few crummy days lately. I weighed last night and I'm now up to 238. I'm not sure what's going on. I think I'm just eating too much again. Will try to control

Other than than that...Sydney fell in the tub night before last. So now we are both black and blue. She stood up after Mommy told her not to and slipped and busted her noggin (actually her left brow bone). Big swollen shiner! She's alright though. Cried for 5 minutes and then was playing with her toys like nothing happend!

Hello all!~

Sorry for the long absence ....

I finally was offered the position w/in the other division of the same company.
AND I ACCEPTED...
I begin my new position 02/27....

Interesting how that interview was what I had thought so awful......
At one point, I laughlingly said to someone that perhaps the long time to make a decision was what finally did it .....that perhaps all the other candidates dropped out .... found something else after such a long time....

Either way, I will prove that they wound up with the best anyway.
As I might have mentioned, this is a field that I have nearly 8 yrs experience, much less I really do enjoy this facet of the insurance world.

so YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I will be right back... need to move laundry ...

Finally hie-ing off to the doctor this afternoon. I've been hearing so much about this crud - I'd have been satisfied with second hand information. Keeping me from pool too after I'd just paid for the month.

Congrats, K - yes, they will be getting the best candidate, for sure. Wood Nymph - here's to your "ME" time. It's funny - even now when I have only ME - it seems like I'm not taking 'ME' time but always thinking of what I "must" do. Must be something built-in.

All that fruit sounds like a real treat, Firefly. And congrats on 4 day ministreak, ceara. I had one going last week. Alas not this week.

Expecting to be snowed in tomorrow - looking forward to it in a way. A strange bird, I am.

Looks like we're not going to get as much of the storm as predicted earlier. But still some. And I'll enjoy it anyway. On antibiotics, stronger cough syrup, etc. Feeling slightly better. And happy though I sometimes feel a little guilty about feeling too happy. DH would not want me to be down though. I find my thoughts re him always bittersweet because even though I miss him sorely I always smile when I think of him. 'Twas a month yesterday.

Having a leisurely day for sure. Doing a little this, a little that, as mood strikes - a little tea, a little time on the sofa under a throw - a little read - maybe a little music - my idea of an almost perfect day.

Yours sounds great so far, Wood Nymph. May it continue.

Arabella I will ck out my recipe for the mango salsa and share it with yah. I am getting so excited 25 more days to go. I haven't seen my son and his wife for a little over a year. We wil have a great time. Lots to do, see and catch up on stuff.
Kaylet congrats to you on that job. Good luck!
Frogger you two better becareful yah sure are showing colors. Stay safe! Sometimes the scale isn't so friendly but measuring or seeing with your own eyes how things fit helps more. Ck it out and it might get you more of a jump start than the scale. So folks on the scale get discouraged I have been there before. I will do the scale later on this week.
Yesterday my walking buddies and I did a 4 mile walk around the lakes in the state park. It was tough not as easy as regular walking when there is snow and inclines etc. But a great workout and I feel it today. I am feeling better finally that virus with the cold stuff is awful. Started to feel better after a week or so then back down again. What the heck who has time for not feeling well. So I am feeling good again and ready to challenge myself to healthy eating and some exercise. I am going bathing suit shopping on the 25th. I set a date so I could get a grip on things before hand. I think it has helped. Well eat health and stay motivated we can do this.

Arabella, the cake sounds fabulous! I have a list of sugar-free cook books if you're interested.

Cake does sound scrumptious. But it's Monday - no guilt/fresh start day - so I guess I'd best not be thinking of scrumptious (yum, yum).

Two days of being "snowed in" are enough. Ready to move on. Actually we only got about five inches, could have gone out all day Saturday and driveway/roads were cleared by mid morning Sunday. But decided best course with cough, sore throat, etc. was to veg. Got lots of stuff done despite myself - stuff you'd only do on that kind of day. Feel better rested. Feeling slightly better finally but note that Firefly did too (I'm on day ten) so won't go crazy until I feel LOTS better. As she says too much to do to feel sick. Was going to go down with princesses for a day or two but definitely not up to that yet. Feeling too good to huddle on sofa another day - middle road, middle road. No pool again though - have mostly been doing stretches.

Hawaii, bathing suits - aah!!! And was listening to birds sing this a.m. I'm sure we're all looking forward to spring! But what else? Firefly - Hawaii, Kaylets - new job. What's getting the old motivation into gear and moving us onward? I've scheduled a (reward)massage for each of the next three months but that's not enough. Ceara, any good shows coming up for you? wsw, when do you expect your earlier-than-mine spring? Other vacations being planned?

Sky's so blue today, snow outside the window to my right is still so pretty, it's Monday. A perfect day for the next day of self improvement......here we go, Monday, here we go (missing you, Kaylets).

I am up and movtivated this a.m. and off to the gym in 20 min. before work. I have made every excuse possible lately even though I was sick for not getting to the gym. So today is it. I am up early of course went to bed at 8:30. I got 4 miles in around the lakes sunday, plan on going on thurs again. Then today and friday workout in the a.m. maybe I can reach my goal by 3/9 if I keep it up. I am journal writing my intakes and exercise, wt. That helps me to keep and get some control. That cake sounds wonderful. You might surely be a hit at the market. Sounds like we are all venturing out there to look forward to some positive changes in our lifes. Lets go Girls!
