Whooo! Go Nicole, Go! I'll be waving pom poms all along the way in spirit
The run yesterday was okay I guess. Walked 1/4 mile, Ran 1/4 mile, walked 1/2 mile, ran 1/4 mile. That was 20 mins. Biked 13 miles in 20 mins after that, and then did elipticals for 10 mins.
Continuing game plan today, despite AF showing up in all her fury. Will just set TM on hill mode. It will do intervals for me, so I'm not constantly fussing with buttons.0 -
Nicole--thinking of you this morning--good luck on the run--you are AMAZING for doing that! You are going to feel so free today after it is done & knowing the paper is done.
Trish--you are training your family well now with new healthy foods even when they don't turn out perfect. I know I did this when my kids were little and now they will eat just about anything. So keep trying! Love homemade bread by the way. Funny story--whenever I make soup now and don't think to make homemade bread. My son(the oldest one) will go to the breadmaker and start up a loaf. He LOVES homemade bread.
Well the date last night had its good & bad points. Hubby's coworker's father died this week so we went to the visitation. Weird thing to do on a date--I know. We did that and then went to Applebee's(had a gift card). I checked on line (thanks Trish!) for nutrition info but didn't see anything I wanted right off. I got the Grilled Shrimp & Island Rice. It is on their under 550 cal menu. It was really good. I couldn't finish it so hubby at 1/3 of the shrimp. I couldn't find the nutrition info on line because it is a newer item
Oh well. Then we got ice cream from the grocery store and brought it home. I got the breyer's carb smart & added a little peanut butter, bannana & choc syrup(sorry if I am making you hungry). That was so goooood. I also felt better about that than stopping at DQ.
So today--water water water and maybe a short walk this afternoon or maybe pilates for a change! I am off to sew on the flower girl dress after I clean up the kitchen.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Glad you enjoyed your date and were able to make smart food choices, curlie!
This morning I chopped up red, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers, an onion, and threw in a can of kidney beans & diced tomato with lime & cilantro into the slow cooker, along with 2 chicken breasts. The plan is to cook it until dinner time, shred/pull the chicken, and serve it over lettuce with chips & salsa. Shredded chicken taco salad. YUM! I feel quite confident this will turn out a lot better than the raviolis last night.
It's 10 AM, and hubby is still sleeping. I was hoping to be at the gym already, so we could be back in time for Grace's lunch & nap. At this rate, we might need to wait until she gets up from her nap. Which means I'll probably be wound up & unable to sleep. Blah. Oh well, hubby needs the rest. He pulled a Galahad last night and ran out, in the middle of a snow storm, to get me feminine pads. Now THAT'S a husband, right? Right!0 -
Okay so I got a good surprise today. A couple weeks ago I treated myself to clothes shopping since I'd lost this weight and my clothes were FALLING off me. Well, I've been very disappointed because I've had NO weight loss since. (Gosh, I'm SO close to 10 lbs. I think the scale is being ornery and purposely not giving me that 153 I'm hoping for. UGH) BUT today I put on one of the jeans I bought (a size 10 which was down 2 sizes from when I started all this) and they're TOO BIG! :noway: My daughter broke my cloth tape measure, so I've not done measurements in a month. Think I will go buy one today, so next time I get bummed about the scale, I can measure and see some progress hopefully. Woohoo for baby steps. I get to get into my space bag in the attic with all my prepregnancy size 10s now!
Kim-good luck with the flower girl dress. That level of sewing is intricate and amazing. I just know it will be beautiful and so worth all the time you've been investing in it. Sounds like you did good with the date night(and it was well-deserved with how busy you've been lately with your kids0. And it just shows that this is truly a lifestyle change for you. You got to have your treats, but you found ways to make them a little healthier. This is absolutely my mantra right now I think. And I bet hubby enjoys that you still let loose to have date night.
Nicole-Hope that race goes well. I guess I need to sign up for one. I've been running 1-2 mi. almost everyday now, so maybe if I find one in a month or two I'll be ready for a full 5k. Glad the stress of the paper is OVER! It's amazing how well guys tend to perform under procrastination, glad he got it done.
Trish-I love how you make a great dinner and then can find ways to change it up and make it into something else like you did the garlic bread into bruschetta. Sounds so yummy I wish we had smell and taste-o-vision!
Sounds like yet another YUMMY dinner tonight. I used your supreme pizza recipe today and it was great and so satisfying. Hope you got to fit in the gym time today.
Stacey-love the smore's pudding idea. I think you can never go wrong with kids and pudding. I'm making a layered banana pudding tonight with Cool Whip free, reduced fat vanilla wafers, and fat free sugar free vanilla pudding.
Hope ya'll are having a great weekend!0 -
Jr, glad you were able to try my 'Za! We love it so much, we have no desire to ever eat chain pizza again. And way to go on dropping inches! The size 18s I just bought (down from a 24) are already sliding off me, too.
We're probably going to go to the gym after Grace gets up from her nap. Andy took her outside to play in the snow, so she'll sleep good in about 15 mins here.
*Anxiously awaiting Nicole's race results*0 -
I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts and "getting to know" everyone. It seems like this is a great group. I did pretty good all week staying just under my cal. Do you all try to balance everything everyday (cal/fat/carb/protein/sugar). I've just been paying attention to the cals and have found I am often under on my fat and a little under on protein but way over on sugar. I guess I know what i need to pay more attention to. This sight makes all the little games I have always played in my head (honey isn't as bad as sugar so I can have 2 tsp etc.) go right out the window.
Last night I took my 6yo out for a little date to a chinese buffet. I ate like I would normally eat (before mfp) and then came home and put in the food. I was shocked at how many calories I had consumed!! More than I should have all day. I've been over on exersize all week though so in the end of the week it might balance out.
Trish- can you tell me more about wii biggest loser? I have wii fit plus but it seems like I would have to be on it for hours to burn a significant amt of calories. How long does it take you to do 500 cal on biggest loser?
One more question for anyone...do you all do strength training too or mostly focus on cardio to burn calories? What about circuit training?
Thanks!
Melissa0 -
Melissa, I try to stay under the most on sodium. I find that if I'm under on sodium, just about everything else falls into place.
As for Wii BL, I burn 500 cals doing warm up, routine, and cool down. Also, if I set my WF+ to 350, I end up burning well over 500. These days I just limit it to BL & the rec center, and log my activities in WF+ fit credits.0 -
Hi Melissa. I don't think I welcomed you yet,so welcome. I also have a 6yo, so maybe we can swap stories. As far as the "balancing" game, I try to stay under on everything. But it's actually GOOD to go over in protein and fiber I'm told. MFP sets those goals really low, so if I need to get a few extra cals in, I try to go for something with protein over sugary, ya know? Also, something no one mentioned on MFP that I've seen, my mother's diabetic dr. says that fiber cancels out sugar. (The equation goes 36 carb 20 sugar 11g Fiber then she would only count that as 25g carbs, 9g sugar). And I agree with Trish on the sodium. She sets her goal REALLY low at 1500 mg, and I do as well due to high blood pressure. But 1800-2500 is fine for most ppl. Fiber and water help to flush out excess sodium, so be sure to up those during times of bloating. For exercise, the first 2 mos. I was dieting I was doing strictly cardio, but I'd heard a lot of benefits about strength training (i.e. higher metabolism, more strength so less back problems with core strengthening, replaces fat with lean muscle, etc) So I now either do some cardio followed by some strength on my WF+, or just pick up some free weights and do lunges. Lately I've started doing some Tae Bo which is both cardio and strength trng. Circuit training kicks serious butt! It's too hard on my heart right now so I can't do it. It involves accelerating and decelerating of the heartrate, and is supposed to more effectively blast fat and avoid plateaus. Hope I helped you somehow with that ramble.0

Ok...Thanks for all of the well wishes ladies!:flowerforyou: The race was AWESOME! It was beautiful and at the start about 40 degrees and sunny, perfect! the race was on a paved trail around a river. It was strange not having my watch on to look at, but not too bad! I actually was too conservative on my time and I ended up being 5 minutes faster. But that's ok, I am still happy with my time! I am almost back to the times I was at before my injury, and to quote Trish "Pumps fists in to air!":bigsmile: :drinker: :laugh:
Trish- I am making pizza tonight! YUM! we never buy chain pizza, because I can't have the gluten and Kyle can't have the dairy, so it always homemade pizza at our house! Let me know how your hill intervals go on the TM.
JR- FABULOUS! that is so cool that you are losing inches!
Kim- Way to go on the smart choices at Applebees. I think I had eaten the chicken breast of the weight watchers area of the menu the last time we went there. I envy you with sewing the dress! I can barely sew the kids pj bottoms that I tried to make them for Christmas!:laugh:
Melissa- I try to balance out my meals as much as I can. It's hard. I also recommend doind strength training(circuit) as well as cardio. It builds muscle which burn more calories, and it also builds bone density, which is really good, so that we don't have Osteoporosis etc. later in life.0 -
Nicole, glad you had a fantabulous race. It dumped snow on us last night, so I can only hope the weather will be half as nice next Saturday as yours was today.
When we got to the gym, half the TMs were out of order, and the other half were occupado. Soooo... I did the next best thing. Interval training on the eliptical, 20 mins, high resistance. Then down to the bikes, hill training, 25 mins. Finally there were some TMs open, but by then my legs were done, so I didn't even make it 1/2 a mile (doing hills, TYVM), before deciding to call it a day. I've been feeling kinda sniffly all day, maybe caught what Grace has, on top of AF in town, so I didn't want to push it & make myself sick for the race.
Did I make the right decision, Nicole?
Positive side: The bike area has windows down to the track. I saw Andy flying by with Grace in her stroller several times. He said he did 20 laps (just over 3 miles!) , and at least 1/4 of the distance was running. I can't say enough how impressed I am with this guy. Whiny "Yoga makes me sweaty & tired" guy no more! Wowzers.
P.S. When we walked in to our home after the gym, the house smelled divine. Just finished shredding chicken in crock pot. It felt apart when I touched it. Just let it steep in all the yummy veggies & stuff a little longer. Off to have hot shower with Princess Fu, then enjoy dinner, and off to grocery store to pick up ingredients for tomorrow's pizza!0 -
How do you set the wf+ to 350? I don't know what that means. I have only used it a few times but I would have to be super hula hooping all day to burn that many calories I must be doing something wrong... I'll have to take some time and figure it out.
I hadn't thought to moniter sodium too. I just added sugar today, that's going to be hard to stay under what they recommended for me because I am a fruit lover... I'll go add sodium now!
Thanks everyone.0 -
Melissa, after you select you Mii and get to your training screen (aerobics, yoga, training plus, etc), select the button under strength training. It should take you to a locker room. It's been a while since I've done this, so trying to remember off hand. After you get to the locker room, you'll see a trainer icon, METs icon, and dinnerware icon. Select the dinnerware icon. In the lower right you should see a button with calories or something. Use that, then you can select the calories you would like to burn each session.
You don't have to hula hoop all day to get 350 done. 2 rounds of expert boxing will do 160 cals, then you can do free run for another 100 cals, and choose whatever games you want to polish off the last 100 cals. It should only take you 30-45 mins.
After a while, you'll unlock a feature where a door pops up on your calendar screen. That will take you directly to the locker room.
By the way, I'm diabetic, and ALWAYS over on sugar on MFP, and not for lack of trying either. I think the last piece of chocolate I had was Christmas. Now that I DO miss! Chocolate Ensure is just not the same as a Milky Way Midnight.0 -
will need to read and catch up! could NOT get online all day today---but the cox magician just helped me solve the problem. yay!
nicole--i saw you lost weight--yay you! and caught that your race went well--yay you!!!0 -
Trish- you did the right thing! Yay! You could always run on the track too!
Thanks Stacey!0 -
whew--caught up!
just awesomeness all over the place!! yay girls!!
melissa, i don't monitor my sugar anymore b/c i too like fruit and my #s were always over. it's also true that mfp sets the protein levels low, relatively speaking. i do track my fiber--25g is the rec i find on the internet searches i do. i don't know why mfp is so low. i also watch my sodium. i am almost always way below the 2500. when i'm over it's cuz my cals are WAY over too--from junk!
in the beginning i just focused on cardio--primarily walking with leslie sansone walk at home dvd's from the library. dh got p90x and eventually got into doing that. i do a hybrid version tho where i combine my walking with lean and strength p90x routines. now if i would just do one whole week of a routine.....
i was reviewing the p90x nutrition plan today. i might try that...but idk. i just don't do well on regimens. but then again, my laissez faire way has led to 4# gain in the last 3 months.
off to drink more water and be with kids. i just want to r-e-s-t....0 -
Whoo hoo!!! The floor is done!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: We still need to put in the trim pieces, but DH said he should be able to get those in tomorrow. I hope so! I tried to put a pic of the floor in this post, but I can't figure out how to do it. I've put pics in my profile. It looks much better in person. I was amazed at how fast it went in. DH and neighbor started on it at 8:30 am yesterday, and they finished around 1pm.0
-
Glad you got your floor done, Amy. I bet it's beautiful.
Well my sniffles from yesterday turned into full fledged sinus gambu. The rest of me feels okay, but my brain is really foggy, I'm tired, and I feel like there's an onion being chopped about 2 inches away from me. Needless to say I won't be going to church to share it. I already let the other ladies in Primary know I probably wouldn't be there to do my job today. I just hope they got the messages.
Andy is getting gambu, too.
Good thing today is an off day as far as workouts go.
Plan for today: Curl up on couch in favorite hoodie and play dead as best I can (Grace still needs a parent. This will be one of the days I ask her if she's learned to make herself a pb&j yet). Drink TONS of airborne. Make pizza for dinner, loaded up with veggies and pineapples. Should be a good antioxidant booster.0 -
trish, sorry ur under the weather. good plan of attack!
your new pic is GREAT--wow! you can totally see the wt loss in your face and you look so much YOUNGER! 26# wtg girl!!!!
and yeah--when grace can get her own food....my how the world of laziness opens up to us moms!
if only family services knew the concoctions my oldest put together while i nap....
in any case, i hope you and andy are able to get enuf rest to feel better by tomorrow. (don't forget to try nasal washes--that helps to keep things flowing out)
alright. to the DISHES. we have 0 countertops at this point. yes. gross. very gross.
later--0 -
I really should explain the picture. It was taken a few years ago (pre-baby). I am almost back to my pre-baby weight, so thought I'd use the pic in the meantime. It's one of my favorites. I will probably post a picture of myself after I've lost 50#, which isn't far off at all!
Already down another pound since Friday. Looks like I'll definitely be hitting 30 lbs lost by the time I see my diabetes doc on the 3rd.0 -
Ohhh Nicole.... If I am still sick tomorrow, should I move my training day to Thursday, or is that too close to the race on Saturday?
Andy pulled another Galahad. He has the gambu, too, and went out into the cold, snowy world for Bolthouse C-Boost juice, cold meds, and other goodies.
Did I mention how CUTE he looked in his track suit last night? He got a track suit at walmart. In the changing room, I heard "Dear, could you get me a medium pant" and threw the large over the door. DUDE! Medium? Probably TMI here, but I might need to start goosing him again
EDIT: One more thing, Nicole. Should I expect a temporary weight increase from the race? I just don't want to be really bummed when I worked hard to get 30 lbs off before my checkup, only to have a 5-10 lb increase from the race0 -
Hello everyone! I hope your Sunday is going well. Mine is a bit rainy, but that's ok, I walked with Hubby this morning, and I am Kyle to Wal-Mart to get dress clothes for his Orchestra concert on Tues. He is growing like a weed right now!
:noway:
Trish- you can run on Thurs, but I would just do something extremely easy to get the legs moving nothing more. If is just a minor head cold tomorrow, I would try to run, sometimes it actually gets things flowing and clears it out...keep tissues handy! You know your body best. You may gain, since you are not used to running, but like you said it's temporary. Actually, if you would weigh yourself without eating or drinking right after the race, you would see a decrease for water weight lost because you sweat it out. another misnomer...oh well!0 -
I'm not miserable, just super congested/head cold. I can't breathe out my nose. Foggy head. Sleepy. The rest of me feels fine. I'm just a big wimp, so was wondering if I still feel this way tomorrow if it would make it better or worse. Might as well give it a go & do my best without pushing it, right? Every calorie counts. I would like to try going the full 3 miles by Wednesday. That would give me 2 recovery days, and I'll know that I can do it, because I'll already have done it.
Was just dozing off on couch when Grace woke up 1/2 hr early from nap. Same thing happened yesterday when this whole nasty sinus stuff started coming on. Must keep telling myself that Andy needs the rest more than I do, and Motherhood is next to Sainthood. So I got Grace (AGAIN) and let Andy sleep. One of us has to be productive & pay the bills. Right?0 -
Good morning all. I had a lovely day today. My mother kept my kids for the night last night, so I had only myself to ready for church this am, then swung by to pick my kids up. Gavyn usually fusses because he has to stay in "big church" during the singing, then he goes off to Sun school. But all by himself today he chose to bring a book to read, and after reading a chapter he got up and started dancing, clapping, and singing along with the worship. :happy: My little one had a rough time in the nursery after being away from mommy all night, but she did fine for the whole hour.. I only had to check in on her once. The sermon was wonderful, and talked all about beauty, and I felt like I just kind of opened up after this month or so of depression and thought "I am beautiful because God made me beautiful" Ladies let's think of that this week...no matter what's going on tell yourself "I am BEAUTIFUL!"
I think sometimes I don't realize how isolated I am as a SAHM. I really need to get my butt in gear with the play groups. I've got 2 SAHM friends from church that have given me their #s and asked to do something with me, but then they don't call and neither do I, it just falls to the wayside. But I'm lacking in adult conversation. My husband and I joined a study group at the church last week, so now there's these 10 families that I feel obligated to chat with before and after services, and I enjoy it although I write about it like it's a chore, but when I got home I was EXHAUSTED. Just from carrying on a couple of conversations. I'm scared because ( I think it's agoraphobia? Fear of social situations, leaving the house, etc.?) runs in my fam, and I don't want to isolate myself to the point that happens. Alright so 2 goals this week for me... help me stick to them girls?
1. Tell myself I am beautiful everyday
2. Get out and make some friends (in real life, not just cyberspace here)
Trish, I do hope you get to feeling better. As far as your run, I'm not very experienced, but I think that you should maybe just do some brisk walking tomorrow. I only say this because you talk about feeling sleepy and foggy and I worry about an injury. A friend of mine got serious road rash and had to have stitches bc of tripping and falling while WALKING. BTW, I think it's wonderful how thoughtful you are of Andy being sick and letting him sleep. Guys tend to be wimps when it comes to being sick anyway, so trying to make him take care of the baby while sick would prob not turn out well. And it sounds like he does alot to help you out when he can. Good job trying to be 50/50 on the relationship.0 -
God created so much beauty in the world, and He created us in His image. Therefore, we are truly beautiful. If you ever stop to think of the amazing things our bodies can do, there is no question about beauty. Thank you for reminding us of this, Jr!0

I like to look up educational vids on youtube to educate the kiddos. Came across this one today, my DS loved when it used to come on as a commercial. Hope it gives you a little laugh, but seriously there are some awesome breakfast ideas there.
EDIT: forgot the link

Hey Trish, your daughter is close to my daughter's age, so I thought I'd ask... has she gone through/going through the "no" phase? My daughter just started this and it is mind-boggling. My son completely bypassed that stage of development. He is in the highly gifted range for intelligence, and just learns things in COMPLETELY diff ways than most children. I took alot of things for granted thinking all babies did what he did. He didn't talk anything besides his own little made-up language only he and I could understand until he was 2.5. But then he came out speaking complete, enunciated sentences. Things like "No mommy, that frustrates me." So, back to my original point, my daughter has started saying no to everything. This morning I asked if she wanted her milk and she said "no" so I started to take it away and she wails at me NOOOOOO, which really meant yes? so confusing. Then at lunch time she starts doing the sign for more, so I ask more what? more milk? and she says no, which this morning meant yes, so I hand her the sippy which she deftly flings from the high chair with lightning quick reflexes and just as quickly juts her hand back to my face demanding something, had no idea what, and continuing to say, nononono. Ah, I throw my hands up sometimes. So any opinions, addtl. experiences with this, etc.?0 -
Jr, that sounds like my 2 year old!!! She doesn't do the signing thing anymore. She kind of threw that out the window when she started talking. So any advice you get would be great! I'll keep an eye out!0
-
Jr, Grace is exceptionally smart and passed the no phase quite a while ago. When she said no, I would tell her "Yes" instead. Now she says yes to everything, LOL. I'll even ask her if she wants to sit on the potty. She will nod her head and run to the toilet and wait for me to put her on it. She tells me when she's done by signing, and saying the word. She mainly has her own language with some of our words mixed in. I think the funniest thing she does is whisper under her breath, really fast, "Gotu, gotu, gotu, gotu..."
I don't know what it means. She also says Tooka tooka. Whenever we say it back to her, it makes her happy.
I am very confident that she is not on the same level as other babies.
I recently picked up a 4 month old and was shocked at how floppy she was. Grace was up, looking around (turning her head) the night she was born (we have pictures as proof)y , and doing push ups at her 2 week checkup. Even one of my best friends, who has 4 very intelligent kids, says that Grace is not normal, but in a good way.
The only time she says no when she's doing something she's not supposed to be doing. Example: Saying "No" and shaking her head when she climbs on the couch arms (Naughty)0 -
Thanks Silver and Trish for letting me know how it went, or is going for you guys. You pose an interesting point of view Trish, maybe my Lyci says no all the time because I say no to her so often. That seems like common sense but I hadn't thought of it. Will need to find ways to say yes or just other words besides no. LOL. And your Grace does sound like a real smarty, and a mischievous one at that! Saying no and then climbing on furniture, that cracks me up :laugh: And I know what you mean about the mobility thing- By 1 mo, Alycia would flip from her back to her stomach while sleeping and I'd freak out about SIDS, but the ped. said it was fine as long as I didn't lay her down that way and at 5 mo she was cruising furniture already, while the other babies were still content to lie around and look at mobiles. Just goes to show what a wide range of development kids can have! Let me know how the potty thing progresses. My niece is almost 3 and not potty trained, and my son wasn't completely potty trained until about age 5!! (Which is a setback of his working mind. He wouldn't break his concentration long enough to GO to the bathroom.) But I hear that girls tend to progress faster than boys, so I'd like to hear some positive news about it. I've been taking her potty with me since she was 8 mo. She sits on her chair and sometimes goes sometimes doesn't, but right now I just want to get her comfortable with it so she isn't scared to try,kwim? Well, gonna go finish laundry then read a book before bed. I took the kids out for a 30 min walk after dinner, so DD went right to bed and DS is relaxing on the couch in his pjs watching cartoons...should be off to bed soon. Feels good to have a relaxing evening for once!0

Howdy all! Wow the weekend has flown. I spent most of the day yesterday finishing the flower girl dress. It is so cute!!! If you wanna see you can check my blog at http://brush-family.blogspot.com/.
It kept me from doing much else but it also meant I didn't have time to snack--I do that a lot it seems on the weekends. We had a birthday party right after church today so I was afraid that wouldn't go well. They had angel food cake & strawberries(yum!) so I could skip the cake and icing. So I am going to be right on for my cals today too!
Amy--so glad the floor is done. Did you put the treadmill back yet?
Trish--hope the head cold goes away fast. Keep resting! We want you to do well on your race.
Amy--2 year olds--gotta love them! They know what they want but can't seem to get it communicated the right way for the rest of us. I remember just laughing at mine several times because they were so funny in their adamant NO's but the really meant Yes. Be patient they will figure it out.
Jr--I love the "I am beautiful because God made me" thought. So many time I find myself just shaking my head at the mirror. I need to not depend upon what I see to support how I feel about me. Thanks for the reminder. Make the effort to connect with other SAHMs. It is SOOOOO worth it. I remember praying as a younger mom(not an old one yet!) for friends and I have connected with several who will be lifelong friends. Their kids and mine are the best of friend now too.
Melissa--Try not to get overwhelmed by how far over you go on everything at first. This is a journey!!! Pick one or two things to work on. I don't have a huge problem with fat but I am always over(unless I try) on carbs & under on protein. However I know when I hit the mark on those I loose weight. So I try to find a balance. I haven't kept track of sodium much but it does play a role too. You can do it --just don't go crazy with changing everything at once.
Nicole--WAY TO GO on the race!!!!! You are amazing.
Goals this week: Walk/jog Mon, Wed, Fri, Water--8 glasses per day, stay right on my cals, 1 dessert(not 3 or 4)
Well I must get my menu figured out for the week. I think that is why the last couple of weeks have gone so well. I have some holes this week. Anyone have a good fish recipe or two? Post it if you do! I need one.
Kim0 -
Just wanted to say thank you again to Jr's inspirational thought & add that I have a picture of the Savior in my home, and below him is the quote "If you could see yourself the way I see you, you would realize how great is your infinite worth."
How deeply would we love ourselves if we just took a moment & tried not to see what is in the mirror, but instead, what is inside ourselves? Maybe then we could see what our loving Father in Heaven sees, and realize our eternal beauty.
Curlie, the dress is pretty, just as suspected
Now I have a question for those of you with toddlers. Do you ever find them crawling on the floor (like they did prior to walking) just to amuse themselves?
Grace is a sweet girl, more playful than mischievious. She helps pick up her toys, gives snuggles, and plays "Psych!" (Y'know, where you ask "Can Mommy have that?" and they start to give it to you, but then run off with it, laughing hysterically)
Feeling a little feverish now, but able to breathe. I think this is good. I believe something needs to get worse before it can get better. Enjoyed our pizza-- olives, mushrooms, green peppers, tomatoes, pineapples (antioxidant kick, yes?), and will continue to veg & guzzle airborne, and other homeopathics.
Going to hit the gym tomorrow, no matter what, unless there's a blizzard. Unlikely!
Everyone there is really good about disinfecting the equipment right after they use it. Definitely a place to get healthy!
And Silver, what did your doctor end up saying? You're leaving us in the dark there!0
