Tina, thanks for the concern, I'm doing just fine. My kidney infection is all cleared up, thank goodness, that was no fun at all.
Honestly, I haven't been coming on here b/c I have not been OP at all...I haven't weighed myself in a while and I'm quite confident that I've gained back at least 5 or 10 lbs, not sure though. I just wish I could take a summer hiatus and start back up in the fall when there's nothing else to do. Anyone else know what I mean? Other than that, everything is good. Dave and I have (impulsively) decided to take a trip to France this October. We're going with another couple and we've rented an apt in Paris for the week. So, I guess I'll really have to get myself back on track.
Chantal---Paris---WoW
You must take us, too. I took 4 years of French in high school. I'm sure I remember some of it.
Renting an apartment will let you get the real flavor of France. Oh, I'm so envious.
Okay, you've got to get yourself OP, starting tomorrow. Get back into it slowly. Cut back on the drinks and drink more water. Don't eat fried foods, eat more veggies. Etc., etc., etc.
How's everyone else today??? I had planned on going to an outlet mall, out-of-town. I see on the radar that it's pouring there and heading our way. 'Don't want to drive on the highway in rain. Boo
I guess I'll just go exercise.
France????? Count me in!!!! lol What a wonderful trip you'll have!!! Tim was in France when he traveled with the Ohio Music Ambassadors a couple years ago. Beautiful pictures.
I've done ok today. I tried to balance checking and savings account things, and there was a $1500.00 mistake in our checking account. I almost cried. Well, Bob had been to the bank and withdrawn $1500 because he thought he was going to Tampa to visit his brothers. He had forgotten that he did it (duh), the money is in one of his dresser drawers. Anyway, it was supposed to come out of savings and not checking. Why he didn't mark it down, I'll never know. He went to the bank, and they put the $$ back into the checking so now I don't have to panic because it was lower than we usually keep it. He has been so forgetful about simple things. I've mentioned it to him, but it doesn't do any good because he doesn't think he is.
We are taking an impulse trip after church tomorrow, and we'll be back on Tuesday. We're heading to one of the gambling boats in southern Indiana. It's close to Cincinnati and some malls there.
Everyone is traveling but me!!!!!
Susan goes to a gambling place, Chantal is going to Paris and now Tammy is going gambling.
I don't want to gamble, I just want to go somewhere.
Ok now the gambling place I go to is an hour away and we were only there a couple of hours. so not really a vacation. I want to go some place too!!!!!
Chantal, Paris, how fun!!!! We did Paris in a day about 6 years ago when my husband was working in England for the week and I went along.
Tammy, I am very proud of you for not saying anything because I got mad just reading your post. You have worked hard to be able to take trips, etc.... plus it's none of her business what you do. Thanks for the website too.... but REALLY Tina and I want you to take us with you next time Have fun on your trip with Bob! Hope you win BIG!!!
Tina, Glad you are feeling better! My allergies have been bad since we've had so much rain. I go back to school on August 20 and the kids come on the 27th. I feel like my summer is just starting with all that has gone on. I'm glad that we go back late this year!!!
Well, I'm cleaning the house or at least trying to, I'm not getting much done. Pat's playing tonight, I'm babysitting his friend's puppy that has been here for 2 weeks. She goes home tomorrow. It will be quiet without her. I told Pat I was going to keep her and his friend could get another dog. He said "Ok, I like that idea."
Are you all sitting down? Our trip was a success. We brought home $2800 more than we took! Can you believe it????? The 2nd night, our room was free, our breakfast was free, and out lunch yesterday was at a discount. I think I like that place!! They also have Ben and Jerry's ice cream there. lol The first night was ok at another hotel/casino, but it wasn't where we won and had all the goodies.
Susan, I agree that it isn't any of her business what I do and where I go. I just hope if it happens again, I'll be able to be quiet!
Welcome home Tammy!!! WOW, ya'll did hit it big! YEA I'm glad ya'll had fun.
Tina, is it raining down there? We have clear weather until this coming weekend. It's suppose to rain again.
I've gone to 2 cycling classes this week. I'm going to one tomorrow that is an hour and half. It's suppose to burn lots of fat. I'll let you know if I can walk tomorrow
Woah, Susan--don't overdo it. That sounds like a very long time.
Yes, it is raining here!!! I don't think it's rained this much for this long during the summer. I am so tired of it!!!
Today I used my 2.5 lb weights to try to help my arms. I need to get rid of the flab.
I will let you know how I survive. The only good thing is that this is a fat burning class so the intensity isn't too bad. It will be new to me.
I guess Mitch has decided he is finished with training me. I'm not sure. He called last night but wants me to go with him to pick out a ring for his girlfriend. I'm like what about training me. I think right now he has too much going on with a new job, etc....... I'm going to ask him when I'm up at the gym.
Tina, it's never rained here as much as it has this summer. We've almost broken our year record, in just a few months. However, it is nice having the grass REALLY green.
Tammy, how are you feeling? Make sure you get some rest!!!! Don't blow all that money in one place I'm so happy for you.
I still think we all need to get together someday. What are you all doing tomorrow??? lol
We've had rain off and on, but it really hasn't helped much. The lawns are pretty brown around here.
Tina, I never totally got rid of the underarm flab, but the water aerobics class sure helped. I signed up for the class this summer, and I haven't made it to one yet. I guess I shouldn't have signed up. It started when we left for vacation, then it was TOM, then I went with Carol and Melissa. I feel funny going now since the class is half over.
Susan, I've heard of those classes, but I've never attended one. I don't know if I could do it.
I've been hurting, and I know that it is my own fault. I haven't been getting the rest that I know that I need because I'm always doing something. This weekend won't be any help because it's an Emmaus Weekend and I'll be helping out in the kitchen and other things. I'm also on a Relay For Life team, and it is this weekend. I'll be busy with that too. I have a card beside the computer with my crazy schedule for the weekend. I do have the things for today marked off, so that's a start.
I took some things to the consignment shop today, and I had $27 waiting for me!! Woo hoo! I bought a shirt while I was there ($6). It was brand new! It still had the tags from K-Mart on it. I also bought jammies. Bob thinks it's gross because I'll wear someone else's jammies. They look like they have never been worn. $4
The money from the casino (most of it anyway) went into our savings account. We'll be getting a bill for the fall semester soon, so you know where that $ will be going.
I bought a shirt on our trip that says RETIRED. Under that it says, "Earned it, living it, loving it." I wore it today for the first time and received many comments on it. All positive. I met with Melissa for our Emmaus Share Group. That's the first I've talked to her since the trip, so I was a bit nervous. It went fine.
Good luck at weigh in tomorrow!! I want to move my butterfly! Maybe I shouldn't have moved it all the way back to zero, but I guess starting from there will be ok. I know in my mind that I'm still down some pounds from where I was several years ago. (33 to be exact)
I was thinking that we should all meet at one of those spas in Arizona. Then, it occurred to me that it's way too hot in Arizona. We wouldn't want to get out and do any shopping or sightseeing. Oh well, just a thought.
It's raining again. Duh, what's new.
I feel bloated today.
Get back into it slowly. Cut back on the drinks and drink more water. Don't eat fried foods, eat more veggies. Etc., etc., etc.
