It looks like a beautiful day outside. It is back in the 50's here. It never stays cold long in Florida. I still have no voice. I was suppose to go to work today but couldn't. It is really harder to not talk than you would think. But I have to get voice back so I can go to work on Monday.
So far I am doing ok with the eating. Next Thursday will tell.
I do not feel up to exercising. But maybe tomorrow. Hope evryone is having a good day.

Eleni,

I hear you about the voice thing. I hate it when I can't talk. It kills me I love to talk.LOL
I hope you are getting a lot of rest. Don't exercise until you feel up to it. You don't want to get worse let your body get better first. Stay warm. Wish it were 50 here. It is 24 here today and that seems warm compared to all week. we didn't get much over 10 and the windchill factor was between 10-20 below zero.
Stay warm and watch the game.

Nita,

Congratulations on your loss. You are doing great. Wish I had a bannana tree then I wouldn't have to buy them. I like bannanas. Keep up the great work.

Summer,

How are you doing girl? Been thinking about you. That was great that you had a loss this past week. See you are doing something right. Keep it going.

Wendy,

Glad that you are doing better and like your job. I hope it works out for you. You really got a lot done today. Way to go. I hope brandon feels better so you can have your mom day tomorrow.LOL You need it.

As for me work is still going great. I exercised everyday this past week so that is a great thing. I am making chili tomorrow so I can have some wings with the game later.
Megan and I went shopping for the little girl we are sponsering today. We got her some clothes, snowpants and jacket, socks and slippers. Megan also gave her 2 of her teletubby videos to have. I got them a vcr from ebay real cheap under 50.00. They don't have one. I feel rich compared to them. But this way I know she has warm clothes for the winter and she won't go without. She is all set now until summer.
Nothing else going on here just doing some cleaning and laundry. Kinda just a lazy day today.

Have a great day all and remember to make healthy choices in all you do.

Hi Ladies
How is everyone doing today. It is a little warmer here than it has been. But still pretty cold. Got up into the 20's. Heatwave. Suppose to get some snow flurries tomorrow. Not a whole lot happening here. Hubby still has his cold. Cant seem to get over it. We are invited to a birthday party tomorrow. A friend of ours neice is going to be 5 and she wanted us to come. Dont think hubby is going. Because the 5 year old's Mom just had a baby boy 1 week ago. So thought maybe hubby should stay home. So we went to Kmart this morn and got her a Barbie doll and a Barbie pillow case. She likes Barbie. Our friend is getting her a Barbie sleeping bag. Made some Veggie soup today. Good weather for it. Or so I thought. Cleaned out my cupboard were I keep my cookbooks. And that is about all I have done so far. Seems like it took forever to get the veggies cut for the soup. Other than that not much going on. Just wanted to check in.

Eleni hope you get to feeling better. Have you tried any tea with lemon in it for your throat. The other day when hubby's throat was bothering him. I fixed him some and it seemed to help. Gargle with some warm salt water.

Wendy. Hope your little boy gets to feeling better. Hope your job is going well.

Sherri. It does make you feel good when you can help someone that needs it. I know with our church when we adopt the family at Christmas and you go shopping for them it always brighten your day. And that is great that Megan is giving up a couple of her movies. You must be proud of her. Hope your new job is going well. Sounds as if you really like it. And that is wonderful.

Well I better get off here for now. Need to check the rest of my messages. Hope everyone is staying warm. Have a great evening.

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good day.

I haven't done a lot, just the usual wash, cook, clean! I did go to the store and got snacks for tomorrow. Probably won't be many here. But we have out of town company, so I needed some fruit and healthy snacks. He is a diabetic. It has really helped me because I am very careful what I cook for him.

We have warmed up a lot today. It is 45. Sure beats the 20's and 30's we have been having. and teens at night)I know, I know, to some of you that's not bad. But we are not used to this!!!

Eleni, sure hope you are feeling better and you get your voice back soon.

Coco, that soup sounds good. I try to keep veggie soup in the freezer, so I can just thaw and microwave when I need a fast food!

Nita, you are doing good. Congratulations on your loss.

Sherri, you are doing a great thing and teaching your daughter a wonderful lesson. How is your new job?

I think about everyone...just know this will be our year! Don't let a few set backs discourage you. We know what we need to do, just need to apply ourselves to following our plan. I know it is hard and we all have weeks that we wish we could take back and do over. But we can't...so we just have to take one day at a time and try to do that day right! Then go on to the next.

And those of you who are losing...keep it up!!! I'm proud of you. And you are an encouragement to the rest of us.
