H L Topic of Week of August 4-10~ Yoga for Pain Relief~

Hi Girls!

Errand day today- went to Wal-mart and to Kroger- plus dropped off our van to get a new side mirror- for some reason a mailbox had a fight with it a few months ago. LOL

Rebecca, woo hoo- doing the happy dance with your girl on your wt. loss! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a funny story to share about smores- when we had our first sister get together at Mom's that year- we made some smores on a cookie sheet- Jeannie and I ate all we wanted and Phyllis was such a goodie two shoes and didn't touch them. LOL A girl's gotta splurge every now and then.

(((Kris))), hugs to you girl. Some times we just have to work through some things.Your food choices look awesome!

(((Dusta))), sorry about Mel. Bless his heart. I know it's hard. I hear Mom say that she would still love to be able to do some work in her yard and it breaks my heart. It's hard feeling helpless and wanting to do more in life. :(

(((Debi))), hugs for you too sweetie. A lot of us has a lot going on right now. This must be stress month. :(

Sherry, I know you will be glad to get your AC up and working again. Seems like the repairmen are so busy this time of year.  Try to stay as cool as possible and drink plenty of liquids.

Natasha, I am not one to get bored with one workout. I can do almost the same one over and over again as long as I feel great when I finish up. :)

Jill, glad you are getting some extra spending money with baby sitting Miss Dill and also glad you had fun in Nashville!

Dawn, hope you are having a good day!

Candy, what's up with you these days?

I am off to eat supper- it'll be a Muril meal this evening- a LC Chicken enchilada suzia or something. LOL  I have worship team practice this evening at 7 and then we are going to C'Burg, VA on Thurs. evening to do the worship service for an event- excited. So tonight we are practicing our songs and also Steppin' Out will be singing "We will Remember."

Hugs and waves to everyone. Love you girls! I may go to Crystal and Ryan's tomorrow to stay with the baby girls so Crystal can go out for a little bit. I don't want her to get stir crazy. LOL

Baby girl was a blessing yesterday and usual. And when we picked her up, baby sissy was as sweet as could be- she is growing- cute as a button!

Dawn is cool, she's just busy at work - main boss is out so other boss is trying to get up to speed :)

good deals at safeway Natasha, woo hoo!

WOoooHoooo Rebecca!!!

Just got done with supper...I can't eat after 12, so we had a late supper.

Grilled hamburger on bun, steamed squash with cheese, & cottage cheese.

I need to go stock up on some fresh veggies....didn't buy any last week since I knew we would be gone all weekend.

WOW Rebecca you are doing wonderfully!!!

Looks like everyone is selecting healthy food too!

Can you say SORE?!?  I finished all 3 bathrooms, the kitchen and dusting the whole house.  I am concerned I won't be able to move tomorrow!!!  LOL!!!

Good night!

Hidy Ho!

Muril, Hahaha how dare that mailbox jump out at yall! I made a smore on a cookie sheet a couple nights ago! Just needed some chocolate and sweet. Have fun at practice tonight!

Sherry, youll hafta swim a lot to stay cool! Hope youre okay!

Rebecca, thanks for the update on Dawn.

Jill, enjoy your evening girl, and good luck on your appt tomorrow!

I made dinner, but were not hungry enough to eat it yet. I snacked on some strawberries this evening. The ones I biought are ripening way too fast cause its warm in here. Will finish the container tomorrow morning with breakfast.

OH! Also at Safeway I found the crackers I have been searching for. When we fly, we get a NW picnic pack that has lil snacks in it, and it includes La Panzanella italian crackers with rosemary... oh my gosh are they wonderful. They are part of the pack with a spreadable creme cheese and salami slices. Its a delectable treat and Im looking forward to having some with some fruits for lunches for the next week or so :)

Good morning girls,
I'm up here on the computer early today.
Gonna try to get my floors clean today - and some dusting.  Oh what fun....;)

Natasha - those crackers sound yummy, don't believe I've ever heard of those.

Hope everyone is doing good - and has a great day today !
Will pop in later.......

morning

Have dental appointment this morning, just running thru to say good morning and hugs to all.

morning texas girls, good luck at the dentist Dusta!! good luck with cleaning Debi ... blech, I need to do some today too ... can't I just get a maid?????????????

can you all see my pic at the bottom? I can't and it's irritating me ...

XXOO more later

Rebecca - nope - can not see your picture - - - haven't been able to for a couple of days.
If you get a maid, I want one too !

I am here, sort of, though I think I am melting away in this heat and with the broken A/C :-(. Supposed to be 113 today and no break from the 110 plus temps until next week sometime. They are supposed to be here to fix it today and I am seriously thinking of taking the dogs and making a run to flagstaff or oak creek or someplace that is cooler while the house cools down. Just hope the fact that they are resurfacing my street today and tomorrow doesn't postpone the repair. Right now it is cooler outside than in here and it was over 100 when I got home last night. Even will all the extra fans.

Good Morning Ladies!!!

Rebecca, I cannot see your picture either.  I thought you had removed it.  Good luck cleaning!

Debi - Hope your cleaning goes well too!  I'm not doing the basement, but the 1st floor of our ranch is spotless.  Do you get your PB protein drink online or find it at a store?  I'm trying to figure out a quick boost before exercising in the morning.

Dusta - Wishing you a good report from the dentist!  I can see Mel's frustration in my mom.  She gets things done, but it's slower or with help because of her arthritic fingers.

Natasha - I love your fresh fruits and vegies purchase!  How are you spending your 2nd day in a row off today with Sean?!?

Jill - Hoping you have a great workout today!!!

Muril - Traveling to C'Berg with friends for a worship presentation tomorrow sounds like fun!  I know you enjoy singing!

Dawn - Keep the bosses happy!  We miss you!

Sherry - Hope you are able to working a swim to relax!

Candy - When are you leaving for your next trip?  Hope you are doing well!

I'm thinking of making a quiche with eggbeaters, turkey bacon, onions, red peppers, and reduced fat mexican cheese.  I need something quick for meals in the morning and this can be quickly microwaved to reheat.  It should be full of protein and healthy.  Any thoughts?!?

Doing laundry and dishes this morning.  Seems they never go away!!!  At 10:30 I head to school for a staff luncheon, blood pathegeons workshop, and an aide meeting.  Hoping to be back around 3pm.  We weren't able to see our cleaning lady yesterday.  I am hoping to talk mom into visiting her and GA.

Already did my workout at the Y early today!  I ran 5.5 speed for one minute and walked 4.0 speed for four minutes through 2 miles.  I walked the 3rd mile for I was getting tired.  I am sore as predicted.

Have a good one!!!

Morning! I have a whole nother day! LOL it feels so strange!

Debi, have fun with the cleaning today!

Dusta, good luck at the appt.

Rebecca... I can see your icon and your signature, but no pic at the bottom.

Sherry, I bet the temps are miserable. I would take the dogs and go somewhere too. Heck, if I was in your position I would have been staying at a hotel actually. Hope it is cool for you tonight!

Kris, were doing a whole lot of nothing again today. The past week was hard on Sean and his body, so were just hanging out at home. Oooh I love a good quiche! I have a quiche recipe I use that has very little half and half and very little egg in it. It always suprises me when I make it how little of everything there is in it. Enjoy that, leftover quiche is the best! Sorry youre sore, but GREAT job on getting in another workout anyway. You are so dedicated.

Making breakfast now.

Breakfast - 1 piece whole wheat toast, a fried egg, a couple slices bacon and strawberries. About 500 calories.
Lunch - French bread pizza
Dinner - Buffalo Chicken Wraps and Salad

Evening girls :)

Oh my Sherry - you be careful in that heat girl.
I'd take the dogs and go somewhere cooler too - at least until things get fixed, because hotter in the house than outside is pretty hot !

Kris - my protein drinks are bought on line - but can be purchased other places -
It's just protein powder that we mix up - - -MetRx, &/or EAS - products - - - EAS is at Sam's
I like MetRx.
Sometimes we will buy protein pwd. from GNC - but I like the texture and flavor of MetRx.
We drink them mostly post - workout - - - - but dh does have some pre-workout too.
Quiche sounds like a good idea for breakfast to me.

Natasha - glad that you are enjoying your days off. :)

Already have my dinner mostly made -
had to get a plumber out here today - problems with the kitchen faucet

Need a hair trim- but my girl is not answering her phone - guess they are closed today for some reason - will try again tomorrow.

waving to all !

Hello everyone!

Whew! Got that done for another year! lol Will find out the results of the sugar test this weekend. We will have the health screening in Nov.

Not a lot going on today....

Hi Girls!

I did my exercise this morning - then headed to Crystal's- she went to the grocery store while I watched the sweet girls. Sweet-  this was practice to see how I am going to be able to do it eventually- lol- a transition of sorts. :)  It breaks my heart that Macie doesn't like sharing me all the time- but it's something she will have to get used to. I always make sure that we cuddle a lot after I put Kelsie back into her bed- so that helped some I hope. :) Kelsie is so sweet- she almost smiled today. I can't wait to see her smile- Crystal said she smiled the other day so I missed her first one. :) She is still just a handful of minutes- sweet baby. Macie called her baby doll Kelsie today- thought that was precious!  Anyway, I think I may try going over once a week so Crystal can get out for just a little while- it seemed to help her a lot-a girl needs some "Me" or shop time. LOL

It is going to be a sandwich and salad for supper. I am un-enthused(is that a word?) about cooking. LOL

Hugs and Waves to all of you sweet ladies- will try to catch up with all of you girls in the morning- Kris, I got very tired reading all that you did and now I don't have the energy to do anything here. LOL
