Weather wise, it is dreary here too, but I 'm not letting the grayness get to me. We are having an absolutely lazy day. I didn't get up 10 am and dh slept till after 1pm.....but then again we didn't go to bed til 2 am. DD was quiet, breathing easier, than she has in more than a week. She's had the 'crud' again, so the rest for us was very needed.
It's 4pm and we are all still in our jammies. I really have the 'itch' to try the bike. Getting restless with not being able to move at the speed I am used to....but the knee is getting better. Will take a lot more time and the PT adjusted some exercises that were stressing the area to much.
I had a horrible day with eating on Thursday. Can't even fathom the calories I took in, but yesterday and today are much better. I don't allow things like that to upset me too much. I did it, am aware of it, and move on......hopefully to wiser choices so they 'off' days don't accumulate. I pulled out some lean hamburger meat for supper and think I will saute mushrooms and serve with it along with some mixed green frozen veggies.
Eleni, the hypnosis thing sounds interesting and it is nice to have someone spend the time listening to your needs. Now if only 'our Mexican wanna-be's' moved like that, we would all be skinny. LOLOLOLOL!!! Naw, ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
Coco, That tea sounds refreshing...I enjoy mint alot. Drinking the water cold is not necessary. The miniscule amount of calories that heating up the water takes is just that....miniscule. You would have to guzzle gallons to have any effect. The main thing is that your liquids are caffeine free since it acts as a diuretic. Turkey dinners aren't really the problem, it is the choices we make to go along with it. You can have a 'little' of everything if you wish. Key word is LITTLE but do enjoy all the turkey you want. That is the safest choice along with veggies that aren't smothered in butter or sweets. I always do better when I eat around others. Have fun and enjoy the day. Your crafts sound cute and it's nice that some lucky family benefits from the fundraiser.
Sherri, I agree with Eleni, what surgury? Is it for your abdominal pain? What is planned?? Glad your back on track. Really work on not letting others get to your self esteem. Why let them??? It is you and only you that really count.....blow them off and all their triviality. You are STRONG!!!!! Hope the weather doesn't get too slick your way.
Wendy, Glad Brandons pink eye is better. He seems to get alot of these. Is it from his day care, do you think? I know what you mean about practicing what we preach. We know what we need to do, but putting it into effect is so much easier said than done. That goes along with everything in our lives, not just eating.
Ok, I am getting off so I can ride that bike. It has acted as a clothes dryer long enough this week!! LOL!
Have a great evening ladies and will chat later. You're all wished the best............Here's to good health!!!!

Summer
Gloomy Saturday
It may be cloudy outside, but the sun is shinning on the inside
Good morning coco, I hope you do well in everything that you have to encounter today. If you do go to the turkey dinner, think self-discipline. These are your choices to make. Don't let anyone else control your decisions. Oh, believe you me, I know it's easier said than done. But practice saying no. Maybe i need to practice what I preach. Focus on your cross-stitch. That will keep you busy. Brandon's eye is better. But not completely gone. He went with his dad to the guys spot, dear hunting guy stuff. I'm glad, i needed the break. 
I've already got some stuff done, but never found my list. That's ok, I want to work on some changes with it. Not for the bad though. Adding stuff to it, or I'm going to need 2 lists. Daily, and the other want to do's. I think this will give me an overview of the things that i could be doing. I talked to you before about this. I'm listening to classical music. Relaxing.
