    Kathy, thanks, I want to get her her own zumba shirt. she does zumba every other Saturday and sometimes on Mondays when it doesn't conflict with other things that we're doing.

    Hi Ladies

    I'm slacking big time, I see I didn't set any goals for 2 days straight. With other challenge groups & work & exercise I'm not able to make the time :grumble: . BUT I am trying :wink:

    July 7th Thursday

    1) Stretch
    2) walk before coming online / 5.5 miles
    3) Eat those darn veggies
    4) watch the sodium / drink lots of water

    Leela.. Is this your daughters first time away from home? I remember at age 9 going to a bible camp for the weekend & I was a wreck with sobs:sad: , But I got through it by that evening. I had two of my cousin's go with me :bigsmile: .
    LOL , I wish I could do it all over again ( Live life)

    Getting to bed early should also be my goal, Here it is 10:15 pm. :ohwell: Well! No Night work tomorrow, SO I should get to bed at a resonable time.

    Okay Night night ladies, I hope you all have a very wonderful Thursday

    4. BED WHEN TIRED!!!

    I'm letting myself get too tired in the evenings and I know that is when I mess up. I need to nap or something when its a hot day and I'm working--it gets about 20 degrees hotter in the garden center!
    I have also put a toothbrush and toothpaste in the downstairs bathroom--I plan to brush after supper. Maybe that will help to remind myself that I am finished eating for the day!
    It is going to be MUCH cooler today so that should help, too!

    Hang in there, everyone! Let's all have a great day!

    Hey ya all.....
    Sorry I have been afk for a couple days. Tuesday morning I opened our mail only to find out that someone has stolen my husband's identity, and my daughter who has job issues, and my mind has been so occupied with these things that I haven't even set a goal the last 2 days. Of course Tuesday's goals were shot all to heck....but I did manage to grocery shop yesterday, no list, no menu, but at least we have food.
    No worries, Jesus didn't fall off his throne, he is still in control, I am just mentally and physically exhausted.

    July 7th goals
    1. Get my 5 mile run in (running a half marathon August 21st)
    2. Register for the 5K that I am doing with a fellow MFP member and dear friend atucker_mom. It is August 13th.
    3. Laundry.......MAYBE cause I don't want to set my hopes too high on this....you know me!
    4. Separate the packs of chicken I bought at the store yesterday.

    I hope you all have a great day.
    pmjsmom....how is the taking your lunch thing going?

    Momma- wb!!!

    Kathy- its funny that you mentioned that about your toothbrush. something similiar happened the other night. My daughter asked would I brush with her before she went to bed. I do ocassionally, just to make sure she is brushing thoroughly. And so after I brushed, I didn't want the icecream that I had been craving for all evening!!
