Morning girlies...rise & shine...4:30 am and I am back on track and about to get my DVD done

Okay I am back..got 30 min of Above the Belt done using hand weights..I love these DVDs..I think partly because each exercise is only for 1 minute so you don't get bored plus she has 10 seconds of stretching after each exercise to prevent soreness. I have only been sore like 2 times since I started them and that is in the inner thigh area when I really stressed the lunges and the squats.

Had a NSV late yesterday...it was Tues which is the normal cook night with our group of friends but decided to send DD with a friend and I stayed home and cooked for DH and myself and then I waited and picked her up after I knew the food would be put up..I just have to learn that I am not able to go over there on food nights..too many temptations and I just give in. I felt really good about myself last night even though I basically skipped the event. Until I can get a grip on my eating and red flag foods over there...a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!!!!

When are all the kiddies on spring break??? My kids are out the week after Easter this year which is a little odd...they are normally out the week of??? Maybe due to it falling so early this year...I think DD is heading to the beach with my parents for most of that week and DS is probably going to work.

Lizzy..I just read your reply on the exercise thread about the DVDs..bummer but I can understand..wish I could exercise in my bedroom in total private but no can do..not enough room there.

Jen..are you going to go to work this morning or stay home and wait on doc appnt????

Lorena..so glad you are in the new house!!!!

Lori..happy trails to you....stay in the saddle woman!!!

Okay..off to get some laundry done and watch the local news. BBS....

Morning Terry! You are so right about doing what you have to do. You made a good choice but I will be happy when you feel confident in going over there. One thing you might consider is taking a couple of dishes you'd eat. Just agree with yourself to only eat those items, and let your friends know up front that you are planning this so they don't try and get you to eat other things.

Fixing to go shower and get ready for work. It's been a busy week and it looks as if it will be busy for the next 3. Did great yesterday I considered it upper body day because we've gotten in out 79 thousand monthly papers they are 16 pages each and are bundled in groups of about 25 papers each so I'm getting a lot of lifting done, plus when we bag them they are bagged in bundles of around 190 on average So hauling that is YIKES! So if any of you read the Bisnik then it will be on it's way shortly lol. Take care and have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies.

Don't forget to play Powerball!!!!!

I did not want to get up. This is going to sound sooooo funny, but I bought new pillows over the weekend and they are just so comfy. I love them!

My mouth feels better for sure....thankfully. I have to use this rinse 2x a day also, but it says not to eat or drink anything for 2 hours after using it. How the heck am I supposed to use that in the morning?!?! I have to figure it out. Typically, I eat breakfast once I get to work. I guess I should just bring the stuff with me to work. LOL

Garrett's practice went well last night and he did a few things that made me very happy.....mostly just paying attention and not goofing off. LOL As I suspected, he is the youngest on the team so he is going to have to fight for playing time.....I honestly believe if he just does everything he is told to do and practices hard and plays hard he can play every game. They couldn't believe how hard he throws...which I thought was great. I guess it helps that he plays with older kids.

Jess' ears were still bothering her last night, but not in agony. She is going to go to school this morning and then I will leave work and pick her up to take her to the Dr.

Terry.......I think you did the right thing with not going to the party. You will know when you will feel that the red light is turning yellow. As April had said about bringing a dish....maybe soon you will feel comfortable enough to bring a dish and then be able to stop at only that.Good girl on doing your video this morning!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of you for working out like you have been doing!!!!!

April....hope you have a great day!!!!!!

I need coffee.....BB.

Hello everyone,
enjoyed Idol last night. Not sure who's going home tonight. Did horrible w/ water. Dont know why. Getting back on track today. Have 2 meetings @ work today so get off the phones for a few hrs.Done w/ my leftovers so can get back on track w/ eating. Need to try mom's dr AGAIN after work.

Sarah- both wally's are the same prices but of course there is more to choose from @ superwally.
Terry- good idea to avoid that get together, great job w/ the exercise.
April sounds like you're getting a bunch of exercise in @ work!!

alrighty need to finish getting ready for the day
Lizzy

Jen- what rinse are you using. My dentist makes me use periomed. Glad DS did well yesterday. Hope Jess is better soon

take care
Lizzy

Morning April & Jen...and thanks for the encouragement!!! I just really wish that the group we hang out with was concerned over health issues but NOT!!!! They pig out--literally--and when somebody else is sitting there constantly nibbling and going for seconds, thirds, etc it is HARD! And I guess I still have that "embarassment type" syndrome where if I am just eating veggies or picking at my food, they are going "you aren't on a diet again, are you?" So for now, I will pick and choose my visits very carefully..I really want to stay on target right now and have no slips.

April..heeve hoe girlie! Have a good day at work.

Jen..great news on our awesome little baseball player. You are going to have to video some of his games and send it to me so I can watch. Got my leftover soup packed for lunch and made me some core cornbread to go with it.

Okay..gotta get the kids stirring..DS was out until after 11 last night and now all he can do is moan groan..awww, the joys of motherhood! Remind me of this next year when he is at college and I want him to come home!!!!!!

Lizzy..hey girl, you snuck in on me..have a great day today!

Lizzy.....When is mom coming home? I will have to look at the rinse, I can't remember the name of it. It is a script though. I am with you....I have to get back on track today. I couldn't eat most of the day yesterday, although when I was finally able to, I didn't overdo it.

Terry......I know exactly how you feel about the situation. I have the same problem....last summer every time I tried to restart my efforts, my willpower went right out the window when hanging out with the neighbors...mainly because the one guy cooks so darn good! With a running start into being healthier, I should have no problem this summer! I will tape a game or 2 for you. We didn't have the camcorder last year, so this will be fun.

Jen- mine was a script too. I still have some left, it's that icky one I was talking about last yr. Mom is coming home w/ me on the plane may 13th so less than 2 months away
