Good Morning, DeeMarie!

My struggle is with exercising consistantly. I am so afraid of hurting the ol' knee that I get lazy and put it off. I am taking action this week though. I find that if I schedule exercise in the morning, I am more likely to follow through. Then I feel good about it the whole day.

I have "penciled myself in" for 3 cardio workouts this week. Each time I follow through, I will put a happy face sticker on my calendar. Sounds corny, but get THIS!! When I get 10 stickers I am buying a new pair of summer SHOES as a reward!

Posting here for accountability helps too!

Good morning! I hope to post more now that school is over.

Tikanas, I love your attitude about scheduling yourself for exercise and rewarding yourself with stickers for the goal of NEW SHOES! :) And obtaining good health isn't a bad motive either!

I leave in a few minutes for lab work. Have my well checkup this afternoon. I'm sure with all the bad eating I've done lately that I'll soon be given the incentive to do something about my poor eating habits and lack of exercise. lol

Take care and have a great day!

Good (and cold!) afternoon! I've been missing in action while putting into motion plans for my immediate future. I turned in my resignation on Monday. Director refused to accept it. She's telling me that I'll be back. But, I had already decided to take time off from working, period, to finally have my knee replacement surgery. That is now scheduled for March 7th. Only one knee needs it. The other one has a kneecap problem which will be dealt with at another time. I need to drop a few pounds between now and the 7th to make recovery easier for myself. So, I've hit the SS way hard and heavy. I've been invited to a Girls' night out with some of the other teachers tonight at Gloria's, a Salvadoran and Tex-Mex restaurant. Wish me luck SS'ing there! lol Zig, it's so nice to see you here again. Jen, I'm glad your girls are on the mend. Winter is always a rough time on little ones. BJ, I admire you for being able to work in the funeral industry. It takes a very special person. Dee, sounds like you and your dh may have a very special evening coming up! Suzanne, I know the job is still hectic, but isn't it nice to have one you like? Maddie, sorry your dh is under the weather. Hope you manage to enjoy your enforced weekend at home. Raeanne, Marci, Donna, and Besh, it's always a pleasure to read your posts. Oh, Patti, where are you? Well, heading for a quick nap before my big night out on the town. I'll be up past my usual bedtime. LOL Take care and stay warm. It's supposed to drop to the 20's during the night here. Brrrr!

I had a great ending to a stressful week. We had a magic show at school today and it was great. The kids really enjoyed it and about 12 of them got to go on stage and be "stars" for the day. We had all the kids come at once, so I got the afternoon off! TGIF fer sure! I went shopping for something to wear for graduation. Not sure I like what I got, but maybe it has more to do with the fact that I tried on the skirt with black knees highs. LOL I need to see if I can pull the outfit together at home before I decide if I want to keep it. debi - I hope everything went well for you! Post as soon as you can so we can stop worrying. Tikanas - You are right. If you miss more than a few days, it is impossible to catch up and address everyone. Sometimes, that keeps me from posting, cause I don't want to leave anyone out. Speed dating! Hmmm.........kinda glad I don't have to deal with that. I am terrible at on the spot witty conversations. I always think of something witty I could have said the next day! LOL BJ - I think every one of us has gone through some periods where we have self doubts and bouts of depression. I know I have. A few weeks ago, my DS called and said that since DD wasn't graduating in May, he wasn't sure when he was coming home. Maybe not until Sept. I got off the phone and cried! He's been gone for over a year and it just seemed to hit me that he won't be back! I am slowing coming back to acceptance, but I was in a bad way for a few weeks. But I have to say that more than once, when I have been in a jam, I have said "What would BJ say or do?" Besh - Did you say that you had read Jodi Picoult's new book? I have it on the top of my TBR pile. I have officially filled up my new bookcase, so now I had better read one of my books before I buy a new one! LOL But I can't seem to stay out of the halfprice book store. It calls to me when I drive past. I only have 19 days of school left! This year has flown by! I was keeping track of my food intake on fitday.com and was on track until yesterday. I couldn't get enough to eat for some reason. Then we went out to dinner tonight and I over ate again. Guess I will try to get back on track tomorrow. I would kill for some chocolate right now though! John - Wise and wonderful as usual! My DS has a wonderful wicked sense of humor too. I think he is learning that he has to keep it in check now that he is out in the "real" world. But it is one of the things that I love most about him. miscindy - I love to quilt. I won a Viking sewing machine a few years back but was disappointed to learn it was the most basic of their machines. So I saved some $s and traded up for the quilter's machine and I love it. I have a Christmas quilt that only needs the borders sewn on and it will be ready to quilt. I sewed it all by hand and I want to finish it by hand, so I refuse to use my machine for that. Finishing it is high on my list of things to accomplish this summer. Milkdud - You seem to be on the mend. As Martha would say, "That's a good thing." Hope your trip to the mall was successful. DeeMarie - Have you come up for air yet? LOL You are one busy gal. 3 days of meetings? Not sure I could do that. But then most people say they couldn't spend 10 minutes let alone 2 1/2 hours in my preschool class with 24 kids, so I guess I am where I should be! LOL Raeanne - A riding lawn mower could be fun!! I would be h*ll on wheels on one! Patti - Where are you? Come visit please! Donna - I hope your friend is feeling better. Don't you love 4 day weekends? Joanne - Hugs to you. Did you fit in those golf games? Jen - Is Erica almost done with preschool? I can't believe it is almost May. Maddie - Have a great weekend in your "new" digs! LOL Hope the dinner goes smoothly and no one chokes on those staples! LOL NHSuzanne - You are our own Dr. Doolittle. We get to hold baby chicks and baby ducks at the farm we go to every spring. In fact, we are going there next Thursday with our 3-year olds. I always look forward to that field trip and hope every year that there are also kittens and bunnies to hold. zig - I went shoe shopping today but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I need dressy brown sandals that I won't break a leg trying to walk in. I am not sure who some of these shoes are designed for, but I guess I will have to keep looking. Has anyone heard from Magic Kitty lately? I know she was moving and I was wondering how she was doing. Hi to anyone that I missed. I tried, honestly, to include everyone. Have a great weekend, Marci

Dee--When you're in Myrtle Beach, I hope we're in your EATING THOUGHTS---lol. Remember, you have to answer to us upon your return! I am almost through my 5th day of CONTROLLED EATING!!!! Hey, ya gotta start somewhere and I am doing well so far. The weather is HOT --for HERE, milkdud--lol--we're in the upper 70's and lower 80's. That helps me drink more and eat less. I'll have my FIRST weigh in on Monday, so I'll be here for that. Wodka, I am on the same page with you and the dentist's drill. When I was a youngster, my dad and mom took me to an old military dentist friend and his novocaine was WAY out of date and didn't work. I never recovered from those experiences and every dental visit is MAJOR trauma for me, emotionally---besides pinching me in the pocket book! DonnaSNJ! YAY! Good to hear from you! Stay in Touch!!!!! Whatcha been doin'? TreKaren---You've got more guts than me. I went to ONE cycling class and quit---about 2 years ago. It KILLED ME! I do ride my "outside" bike in the summer though. I have padded seat bike pants AND a gel seat---hey! Even though I have extra *fat* padding on my fanny, I still need the other padding; I don't know why! Joyce---You don't want to see your grandchildren, I gather! haha. I can TOTALLY relate to getting your house ready for an open house--it took me SO long--but I finally found I couldn't be a perfectionist about it. Just so the surface stuff and CLEAR it out into the garage or a storage bin as much as you can---then breathe, relax, and get ready! REANNE, NHSuzanne,Marci, and Besh---Get in here---NOW. You guys are MIA too often lately. We're SISTAHS, remember. Ohana now. No one gets left behind... What ever happened to PJ from CA? I wonder what she's up to???? Anybody remember her? Tikanas was her online name. I so enjoyed hearing about her busy and active life... Okay, enjoy! Oh, BTW, DH fired me yesterday at about 9:30am--WOW! I am back at work now, but I have to tell you, working FOR your spouse is a sticky wicket--in more ways than one. (I've only been fired once before, when my ex was having an affair with my boss and she wanted me out of the picture. They served me divorce papers on my birthday...but that was another lifetime ago...)

Hi - Checking in for the sake of our ears! (Just kidding DeeMarie!) QOD - I am going to a craft show in the park tomorrow with a friend of mine and then out to lunch. The doc put me on prednisone this week and my cough is slowing improving. My back also improved, and a friend of mine who is a nurse, said the steroid could be doing double duty. If so, I say thanks heavens. I got out of bed yesterday without grimacing and finally feel like my back is normal. DD is coming home next Wednesay to pack up her things and get ready for the big move. Things have been hectic as I have been trying to get her some last minute appts., gathering up things she will need and trying to organize a going away party for her for next Sunday. Keeping busy so I don't have a chance to think too much, but I am still teary. Watched a sad movie the other night and cried the whole way through. :~( Gotta go and put some dinner on the table. Plus some nasty storms are heading this way and I should get off the computer. Later, Marci

Only have a few minutes but thought I'd just drop in and say "HI" Hope you all had a nice weekend. Weather here was beastly hot but we got a lot done so I won't complain too much anyway...LOL

Tikanas ~ Love the shoe reward I may have to steal your idea. You know me, anything for a pair of shoes :-)

milkdud~good luck with your lab work.

Need to take time later to catch up on everyone from last week.
Will try to check back later

Hello! I am now officially on summer hiatus! I dusted off my walking shoes and hit the pavement. Hoping to average 4 days a week, 3 miles a day. If I do too much more, my plantar fasciitis acts up. Next, I plan on getting back to lifting weights or doing Pilates, 2 days a week.

My last couple of weeks of school were stressful. First of all the kids were wound up and so NOT ready to work, listen or follow rules. Then DH called me at work 2 Mondays ago and said his arm was numb and he was having chest pains. Off to the emergency room we went. He has a family history of heart disease, so even though the preliminary tests came back OK, they kept him over night and did a heart cath and an echocardiogram the next day. He was so convinced that he was going to need open heart surgery or at least a stint put in, that he wouldn't (or couldn't) believe it when the doctor told him he had "0" blockage. Now they are going to run tests on his gall bladder and see if that is the source of his symptoms.

DD came home this weekend and we cooked out. I sent the leftover cookies from graduation back with her and went to Costco for some fresh produce this morning. Broccoli, snap peas, blueberries and lettuce are what I bought. Next I need to hit Aldi's for some more fruit. I am hoping that with enough good food around, I can resist the temptation to buy or eat sweets.

I hope to get lots of books read this summer. Made my first trip of the summer to the library today and brought home 4 books on my TBR list. It is 90+Âºs today, so reading inside my airconditioned house is about my speed at the moment. Also, I slammed my hand in my bifold closet door and pinched the "fatty" part of my palm. Hurts like H*ll! So I am sitting here with ice on it and sipping some iced tea with mint from my garden.

I got so many plants and flowers from my preschoolers, that I could have opened my own nursery! Right now, they look so pretty spread all over my front porch. And my neighbor was throwing away a perfectly good patio table and 2 chairs, and asked us if we wanted them. They look great on the porch and gave me someplace to put some of the potted flowers.

Well, I am dripping melting ice on the key board, so I had better go fix my ice pack.

Later,
Marci

I planted mint this weekend too (along with red/green peppers, tomatoes, cucs, chives, basil, and Italian/curly parsley). Will join you in a mint ice tea when I get home. Feel better!

Hello All,

Wow, such resolve here. I am having my usual struggle of not losing any weight! I am exercising by walking 30 minutes each day at lunch and maybe getting a weight workout at home once a week, watching what I eat, especially portions and still it won't come off! It's frustrating. Some of it is my age.............50 and most of the problem is my belly........argh. So, I am plugging along hoping for a change without starving. I have to figure out something cause what I am doing is not working and it's frustating.

On a fun, fun note... my baby chicks arrived in my office this morning. All the way from Iowa, 25 chicks (10 going home with my co-worker),in a tiny box with holes! We haven't gotten any work done today as we are all acting like mother hens tending the chicks. We had the arduous task of identifying each type as I got a big variety. I thought they would be tagged but they weren't. We had to go to the website to make an ID. It was fun. I can't wait to get home and play with them for a while. They are so sweet and amazingly sturdy considering the traveling they just did.

I had a wonderful weekend. I rode like the wind and it was good to get into the deep woods because it was so hot here. Almost 90!! The bugs were pretty bad in the woods though - you just can't win.

Sunday I had Hags with Nags and husbands over for a cookout. I made beer can chicken and it was a great hit. I also made a wonderful coleslaw that I put apples and walnuts in which was a big hit. The other hags brought potato and pasta salad. It was a lovely evening on the porch and it was warm and the cold white wine was flowing!
Monday, DH and I worked on the chicken coop some more and it's nearly complete sans fencing. I will post a photo later.

So it's back to work and all I can think about is chicks. I think I need to start a new group.....Hens with Chicks or maybe Chicks with Hens??? LOL

Tikanis - I love your shoe reward too. I think you are on to something. I tried on a couple pair of shoes today, but resisted the urge. I bought a new handbag instead LOL.

Marci - You are off to a great start WTG. Very scary about DH - was he under much stress around that time? - that can mimic heart attack symptoms.

Suzanne - I just made a coleslaw this past weekend with apples and walnuts - it was very good. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. I hope you can share some photos of the chicks - how cute.

Dee - you did a ton of planting this weekend - how did your knee hold up?

Donna - did you say you were going to the movies? (or am I making that up) if so, what did you see?

Has anyone seen the Davinci Code yet? I can't wait.

Milkdud - how does it feel to be a free woman?

My eating still has been pretty good and I am still exercising, although this past weekend I put it off. I don't see any real changes, but I am hanging in there.

We just had an hour and half of thunderstorms and it feels good after 82 degrees with high humidity.

I hope everyone else decides to check in soon.

Good Morning,

What a hectic week! My eating and exercise is back on track. No more sugar or bad carbs. Maybe this will get the weight moving.

lynne, SS stands for Sommersizing. At one time, most of us used to follow Suzanne Sommer's diet, now we each kind of do our own thing. It's a great bunch of people.

Marci and DH, (((HUGS))) I hope they find out what's going on soon. Take care.

NH Suzanne, My girls would love to visit you. My parents raised chicks a couple years ago and they loved them. They just wondered what happened to them 3-4 months later.

Gotta run. Have a great day.

Marci, (((HUGS))) to you and your DH. What a scare! Relax now and enjoy your summer. I hope that hand feels better too.

How did the check up go Milkdud? How is your knee feeling?

Hi Zig!!

NH Suzanne, REAL peeps! Lol! Not fattening at all. All I could come up with was "Birds with Nerds" and that is NOT very flattering! : (

DeeMarie, I love planting all those vegies too!

Raeanne, WTG!! I admire your dilligence. You KNOW it's gonna pay off soon.

Hi Jen. Doesn't it feel good to get back on track?

Well, I am wearing my pedometer, have started the day with a good cardio work out and stretching and am right on track. Another happy face sticker for me!

Have a great day everyone!

OK - DeeMarie - I will take you up on your offer and walk to new Jersey during the summer! I may stop to smell the flowers along the way, so don't wait up for me! LOL

I have so many jobs on my todo list, but I can't seemed to get motivated to actually do any of them. LOL I am content at the moment to read, clean a little, read, cook a little and read some more. Hopefully this won't last long and I can accomplish something useful soon.

NHSuzanne - The chicks sound adorable. Pictures? We take our kids to a farm in the spring and I love holding the baby chicks, ducks and bunnies. One year they had a litter of kittens and I never wanted to leave! LOL

Thanks for the good thoughts for DH. He is scheduled to have some more tests run on 6/22, but for now he is feeling ok and has returned to work.

Does anyone take glucosamine/chondroitin? I have been having some mild pains in my joints, especially in this humid weather, and I am hoping it helps. I just started taking 1500mg daily this week and was wondering how long before I would see results.

Have a great day!

Hello all,

Marci, it's so good to have you posting again. I am glad DH is feeling better. I hope his test go well - don't worry.
I gave my 33 year old Morgan, Paddy, glucosamine/chondroitin and an MSM supplement. He did very well on it but I can't tell you how long before or if you see results. I have spoken to people who have mixed reviews. It can't hurt to try. What is 17 closer to NJ - did I miss something?

Jen, what happend to the chicks? Did your parents eat them? or did something get them? I am raising laying hens -I could not eat them.

Raeanne, great minds think alike don't they? Good for you sticking with your workouts. I has to pay off sooner or later. Don't you get so sick of it though?

Tikanis, I wear a pedometer and find it quite motivating. I shoot for 10,000 steps minimum per day. Some days it's hard to do that but most of the time I exceed it. Birds with Nerds? Thanks alot!! I think I will be a Chick with a Hen............but I will probably always be a Hag with Nag at heart!

My chicks are absolutely magical. I brought them home last night and really tried to get to know them. It's fun and they are growing before my eyes! They romp around for hours and then fall forward, beak first with wings spread. WHen I first saw one like that I thought it was gone but it was fine! I got 8 varieties and can you believe they don't band them for ID? I had to go back to the website to try to ID them that way. I think I have it down but still not completely sure. It won't be long. I will post pictures soon.

Yesterday all the animals had spring shots and they don't feel well. It makes me feel bad but it has to happen.

Maddie, we are still waiting to hear about your trip to Canada and your visit with Zig. I didn't miss it did I??

NHSuzanne - I am going to "walk" to NJ this summer. It helps to have a goal and I think I "walked" to Maddie's one summer. It should help to keep me motivated and posting my mileage will keep me accountable.

I loved the visual of the wee chick falling over! I sometimes felt that way at the end of a day spent with active preschoolers. I just wanted to collapse, face down onto a nice soft surface and not move! LOL How cute.

I upped my Netflix rentals to 2 at a time and I am enjoying seeing so many movies. I loved Mrs. Hendersen Presents, Transamerica (strange but the story pulled me in), Ladies in Lavender (I love Dame Judy Dench) and Capote. All good stories, well acted and worth the price of a rental.

I had my 3rd and final post-op visit with the ortho surgeon today. He was most impressed with my progress, and told me he'd see me for x-rays on my knee in 1 year!!! I fairly danced out of there on a cloud

Tikanas and Dee, I hope your knees are doing better now. We could start our own "aches & pains in major joints" club.

Marci, I use Joint-Free daily and it seems to help. At least I like to think so. I'm also stocking up on books to read and videos to watch. My first two official days of vacation have been spent with doctor visits, but tomorrow I'm home without a car, so I'll do some projects here. I have my bone-density scan Friday. Oh, and I also take Fosamax for the osteoporosis.

Suzanne, I can just imagine the fun y'all had in your office with all those cute little chicks. I remember my neighbor friends getting chicks for Easter every year. They were so sweet.

Raeanne, I'm loving being off from school. :) I had to run up to school this morning to pick up some end-of-school presents that children brought for me yesterday. It felt good to be a visitor for a change!

Jen, I'm envious of you for being back on track with your eating. I was hoping my GP would read me the riot act yesterday to the point that I'd change my attitude, but he was very gentle instead. Guess I'll have to change my attitude all by my lonesome now. LOL

On a totally different topic, I found out yesterday that I'm going to have another granddaughter come October. I'm so happy. This will be my 2nd grandchild. My dson gets to pick out the name for this little sweetie. Can't wait to see what he chooses.

Take care and stay cool!

LOL Marci! Here I set my alarm extra early to get up and yell "rabbit, rabbit" and you beat me to it! Next time I'll just post at midnight! I think you deserve some R and R after the school year. Just bask in it for a couple of weeks and your motivation will bounce back.I just started the glucosamine too. I'll keep you posted....

NH Suzanne, your peeps sound like fun. I'll bet a LOT of work went into that coop, though!

Well, off to Curves this AM (first time back!) and then off to work.I have an interview today. I have decided to free lance as a visiting nurse rather than stick with just one company. The earning potential is so much greater this way and the job description ( which I love) is always the same. Wish me luck!

Tikanas, putting another happy face sticker on my calendar : )

Goodmorning - Thunderstorms cooled the air last night, but kept me up. At least it won't be in the nineties today.

Milkdud - I take Fosomax too. Was diagnosed with osteoporosis two years ago. Had a bone density scan done after one year on Fosomax, and my bone density had improved. Now I don't have to have another one done until next year. Does Joint-Free contain glucosamine/chondroitin?
I do notice that my joint pain is much worse when the humidity is high. Great news about becoming a grandmother again. My turn will come some day and I can't wait.

Skipped my walk this morning but will try to lift weights or pull out my Pilates DVD and get in at least 1/2 hour of strength training.

Have a great day.

Milkdud, Congrats on the good doctor report. Thats great. My eating plan just finally clicked for me. I realized that Exercise wasn't enough. My mind frame was set. So far I have lost 5 pounds. I am on a mission. Its about time!

Marci, read a few books for me. I don't when the last time I set down and read a book. I love to read, just don't have time. Wonder why?

Well, gotta run.

Hi all!

I've had major computer problems since I've been back, and now I find that I can't log in. ????? Sorry I haven't posted, nor read; Ifinally gave up and went to the library--sigh....

Canada was wonderful, but seeing Zig and her DH was THE BEST!!!!!! I swear, she is so incredible; it seems like we've known each other all of our lives, and we just kept talking--(poor DHs--couldn't barely get a word in edge wise!! LOL!!) I got to met their son, too--he has the greatest smile--looks just like his mom's!! I'm not kidding--they made us feel so welcome, it was if I'd come home. And speaking of homes--their's is marvelous--I want their bathroom! (My first apartment wasn't that big!! Lovely, lovely paople--I am so glad to know them, and am honored to call them friends! Smootchies to Zig!!

Rog surprised me by taking the last day of fishing, and poacking up and taking me to spend the night in Mackinaw City, and then we spent the next day on Mackinac Island. (I was thinking of our Allie when I was there--) WOW!!! It's so beautiful! It wasn't very crowded, and we had a blast! Although, I was disappointed that you had to pay $12/per to go see the Grand Hotel if you weren't a guest. I understand completely, but I would have liked to have gotten pics for my mom (she's a huge fan of the movie "Somewhere in Time, which was filmed there). A wonderful trip in all! :):)

I didn't think we were going to get to go up til the morning that we left. The prior Thursady I had gotten something in my eye, and the optomologist said I had a severly scratched corena, and I spent that weekend in misery. I looked like I had a welding flash in my right eye, and when I went back to see him on Monday morning (we left Monday night), he put me on steroid drops, and today was my last day. He said that apparently what ever blew in my eye was maybe covered in a chemical (oil, gas, who knows?), and that I was having a sever reation to it. I'm OK now (and was as of Tuesday afternoon of the trip), but it was really scary!

We're leaving early tomorrow for Cincinnati, OH and then Dayton. We're going to an aquarium, the Wright-Patterson AFB, and to see a Princess Diana exhibit at a museum--they have her wedding dress and a bunch of personal items that I'd love to see, so off we go again! :):)We'll be back on Tuesday, and hopefully, the ????thingy that he needs to fix the 'puter will be there--and then I'll get to catch up on thing! :)

Hope all is well!

Hugs,

Maddie

The sun is shining and it promises to be a beautiful day! I have a graduation picnic to go to this afternoon, so I am glad it finally quit raining.

Not much else new to report. I think I am going to get out my quilting material and start a project. I need something to keep my hands busy and out of the fridge!

Tikanas - I have 2 Pilates DVDs. One is the beginners Pilates by Mari Windsor and the other is from Prevention magazine. I like Mari's tape, because I can actually do the movements! LOL

Maddie - Have a great time in Ohio. Glad your eye is feeling better.

Have a great day.
