Hi everyone
Taking a breather before taking the boy to the orthodontist and to run errands. Thought I'd catch up on personals
Diana: Glad you enjoyed your special meal out and really glad that today is a better day for Magnum

Good for you! And what a great reminder to us all
The destination is great but we need to enjoy the journey too!
Isabella:
That is so awesome!
zoodoo: great job getting the scale moving in the preferred direction again
and great time on the walk! Who are these people who can walk a 15 minute mile? I've never been able to do it, even on a treadmill. I am impressed with 16:30! Oh! And I just caught up with your more recent post..what an awesome goal to set for yourself!!
shishke : hope the visit with the MIL wasn't too bad
We are seeing Deathly Hallows in Imax on Sun...have fun! I know we can't wait

Have you looked into Valerian root? And, I am a messy painter too, though I rather enjoy it when I'm in the right mood
The colors in your home sound lovely...I wonder too if your insomnia has anything to do with you starting to eat lower carb?
berry : I'm so impressed with what you've accomplished and continue to do! I know these monthly stalls are frustrating and it's good that intellectually you see what's happening but that you also acknowledge your feelings about it. You are a great example
(I myself tend to be a horrible warning, but maybe I'll work on that lol
)

That is VERY cool! Keep up the great work!
alaskan: sorry about the sun burn and the tummy troubles
I can totally relate. So glad that you had such fun at the beach and that you slept well (hurrah!) and that your DH is dong so great
surfingssr: yay for you for staying the course! so glad you stuck to it and are seeing the results
berry: the taco salad description has me drooling..need to grab some lunch lol I much prefer taco salad to regular tacos.
Lindsey: congrats on the new house!
abbysue thanks for the encouragement on the exercise
I think once I get my house ship shape I will find the motivation to put my recent excess energy into exercising. Maybe. That's the plan. hehe I feel so much better when I exercise, not sure what the mental block is about it this time.
shishke : glad your birthday was a nice one...your chicken ala king sounds yummy..it's one of my old low carb favs that I'd forgotten about, thanks for the reminder
good for you for sticking to one scoop! and yay for finishing a tough workout.
Scarlett : hang in there! And tv commercials suck. I'm glad there is a serious push to start making food manufacturers modify the way they market junk to kids but I'd like to see less of it overall. Thank gawd for John Stewart lol And that link you posted for the Harris Benedict equation was really interesting. Gave me a good reference for how many cals I should be eating and also got me thinking a bit about BMI so I did some research. That helped me discover that I've hit a milestone this month... I am no longer morbidly obese, I am at the level of obesity 2. A small victory but a victory nonetheless
K9:
right back atcha
mamakat: duh! :smacking my forehead: I have my son take probiotics every day, I work for a chiropractic office that recommends them to all our patients. Why am I not taking them? Thanks for reminding me
And I too have emotional/physical tummy issues. IBS I guess. And developing lactose intolerance. And runs in the family (pun intended?
)
See you all later, time to head out.
