Good morning everyone!
Alison: glad you got some rest.
Janniejannie: lol, the popping stitch sounds familiar. Don’t worry; you’re beautiful even with bruises and stitches!
Drkatiebug: helping you wish for not more than 35!
Sassy: I used to pick things up with my toes all the time; I’d almost forgotten about it! Now I don’t because of the arthritis in the knee (it hurts to stand on one leg).
Still fighting a cold. Bleh.
Hope we all have a good day.

morning ladies,
I am still not feeling great but will go to work I am only working 5 hrs today.. and I wont go down to see DFIL as I dont want to pass along whatever I have to anyone down there.
woke up with a banger of a headache so popped a couple of tylenol and still have a rocky tummy, will pick up some saltines and a small gingerale.. I havent had soda in a few years but want to keep my tummy settled..
the contractor came yesterday and cut a few tile for the floor will come and do more today.. hoping by friday he can grout.. then let them sit for a few days. I am dying for a shower, we have both been taking bird baths (washing up in the sink) and washing our hair in the kitchen sink..
The puppies were thrilled to have me home yesterday...
when I had my hysterectomy I had to get 2 bottles of miralax and drink that .OMG I was soooooo sick.. both ways .. it was not a fun thing.. im thinking of you Sylvia0 -
Hi Everyone,
Just started this MyFitnessPal for the 3rd time!!!!!! but this time I intend to go the distance. Never used this forum before (to shy to share before) but think it might be the key to my sticking with things. Have even been brave and entered my bust, waist and hip measurements as well as weight. So here goes.
With a positive attitude

Good Morning,
Lesley congratulations on your new dog, Blaize. He is very lucky to have you.
Sassy what a doll. Thank you for sharing.

Dr Katie, my son is 38 and I'm still buying gas and groceries. I don't see any end to it in our situation. Fingers crossed that yours is different.
Michele, I have never, never, never been pleased with the results of re glazing and re firing. For me, I just have to toss it and go on to the next thing. I don't like Gatorade, but I'm sure I would not like salty Gatorade any better. I considered mixing it with my Simply Lemonade, but didn't want to ruin my lemonade. I got most of that mess down, but gave up on the last 8 ounces. One more swallow and it would have all come back up, I'm certain. Two liters of salt water is too much! But I think I got enough down go do the job.
Gilly, my labor was 30 1/2 hours long. HARD labor! I was one of the screamers, I'm sorry to say. When they finally decided to do a c-section my son popped out on the way down the hallway to the OR. It was a military hospital and I don't think they knew, or cared, what to do.
Joyce, I didn't say I wasn't going to do things with the kids. I'm just not going to take on all the responsibility for their daily needs. I don't mind helping out, but my son is taking huge advantage of me and right now - with my health issues uncertain - I have to focus on my own needs first. And it wasn't me who was talking about crying, but now that you mention it, I have had a huge problem with it all my life. I could cry at Kleenex commercials! I'm now on a daily antidepressant that helps a lot with that. In fact I have cried very little since I started taking it. In the hospital they didn't let me take it for five days and I was crying like a baby for no reason before I finally got to take it again. The down side is that I don't feel as happy as I would like either. It kind of evens out both ends of the spectrum.
Well, it's time to leave for Joplin to get this colonoscopy done at 8:30. I hope you all have a fantastic day.

Hello Ladies
I keep disappearing but meeting you all keeps me going. So out of touch with everyone, gained a few pounds but am moving everyday. Hope its in the right direction some days

Thanks Barbie0 -
I think the problem with the page getting wider comes when someone posts a picture. For some reason, it is no longer re-sizing the picture to fit the page. This happens on Firefox and Internet Explorer but not on Google Chrome.
About lettuce, I like iceberg that has practically no nutrition and can't stand any of the others so I asked Jake to give me only sliced tomatoes when he makes a salad to go with lunch. At a salad bar I take no lettuce only tomatoes and cucumbers. Orcadiangirl, you can be part of this community by reading the posts and responding to what others say....take your time about sharing about yourself until you feel ready. Finished breakfast---now off to walk dogs and then dance class. We're learning a very hard dance and I hope my brain is ready for the challenge. Barbie from NW Washington 0 -
When DD had the colonscopy with the ....drink it by the gallon.......she was smarter than I was by starting like 5 am,waiting 1/2 hr,then some more etc. By noon she was clear with 1/2 the container left.Dr had told her,once clear for a few hrs,didn't need to drink more. So it was jell o & broth only for rest of day.0

Thanks, Joyce, for the reminder that I need to let my son figure out his own path. He is a sweet, gentle, laid-back spirit. I know that part of the problem is my own personal tendency to baby him. He doesn't drink or do drugs. he just has a hard time keeping a job. This is the highest paying job he's ever had, though. I'm hoping the pay check will be a motivator.
Sylvia, good luck with the colonoscopy and with your son. Your son's medical condition does complicate issues.
As for iceberg lettuce, yes it has no nutritional value, but it also has very few calories and fills you up. I see no problem with it as long as you add lots of veggies with nutritional value to it. Having said this, I personally love romaine!0 -
Joyce - I had a MUCH better day today with the formatting. Think I'm getting there at last. Part of the problem is that I'm such a perfectionist and don't like making mistakes.
DH just went at it hell for leather and his first book diid not look very good. I have learnt from that. I have downloaded a new Word format and I'm fiddling with that. Still have to look at the left hand margin.
I have decided on 5 × 8 ins as my book is very short by novel standards. I get more pages that way.
Janet - I am too scared to re-measure myself. I used to be 5ft 5 and three quarters, but 6 years ago when I was measured for my bone density scans I was slightly less than 5 ft 5. I am calculating my BMI on 5'5" 
Naomi - the geraniums are the generic type, like cranesbill, not the super flowery pelargoniums that we put in pots in the summer. These have tenacious and ever spreading roots. :sad:
I think I started the crying debate. Katla - I do cry easily, but mostly at touching things that warm my heart. This article just came at the right moment when I was judging myself too harshly and I needed to forgive myself. I don't often cry at things that are just plain sad or awful. Much more often happy things or acts of human kindness. I did sob my heart out one Christmas when the power came back on after a 19 hour power cut on Christmas Eve. I hadn't showed any emotion all the time I thought my Christmas preparations were ruined. The relief when they were saved had me a wreck! ! ! ! :laugh:
Chinese baked fish tonight. With french beans. Tiny bit of rice.
The lawn man is coming this pm. Normally DH does the raking of moss and spiking to aerate, but he now has a hernia and doesn't feel he can manage it this year. (His consultant app is next Mon). We have called a company for an estimate for a spruce up. We have more moss than lawn. Very high water table here and there is an old clay tennis court under the garden.
Love to all from a much happier Heather in sunny Hampshire UK

Good Morning Everyone,
Trying to get myself centered before I begin that 2nd report. I find myself tired just thinking about it.
Hoping I can work in some walking during every hour I sit. I'm working from home until I this evening when I hit the road to present the report I've been working on. I'm not looking forward to it, however it is part of the job.

Carey – I hope you get rid of the dizziness issue soon.
Naiomi – nope the snow is not melting…hopefully by Wednesday we may get to the double digits. Rain forecast for Saturday. So we will see….
Didn’t accomplish some really important things on my “To Do” list from last weekend so took today off work…need to have the papers ready for accountant on Friday. Then off to walk the dogs… when the fog lifts.
DH put some of the floor down yesterday, looks really good.
Welcome to the newbie people, this is a great place to be. Stop in when you can. Share when you are ready
Must get a move on…. Later everyone.

Sylvia: I remember how nasty the colonoscopy prep drink was. I suppose I’ll have to do it a gain in a few years. I hope all goes well for you. I’m glad you are focusing on taking care of yourself now. .
Janet: DH does the taxes and then we send them to the accountant. I am so glad that I’m just a support person.
Michele: I hope you’re able to get a better result for your ladybug. I have no experience with this kind of art.
Orcadiangirl: Welcome.
Sassy: Now that I understand the issues with your feet I am even more impressed with your efforts toward good health and fitness. I love the baby pictures.
Cynthia: My mom picked up things with her toes when she was younger. I can sometimes do it, even at my ripe old age, but it has been a long while because I’ve been wearing socks to keep my feet warm. I’ll have to test it out when summer arrives.
Anamika: I miss you when you’re gone. I hope you’ll stick around!
Dr. Katie: I agree with you about lettuce. Iceburg has a lovely crunch and that is a good thing. It has fiber, too. There are almost no calories and not much nutrition. I like romaine hearts better, and also sometimes mix the two. The main problem with iceberg lettuce is that is a perfect vehicle for rich and fattening salad dressings.
Heather: Congratulations on getting your book formatted to your satisfaction! That is an achievement to be proud of. I’m building a mental picture of your home, and I think I need to revise the yard size upwards. A clay tennis court takes up a lot of room. I’ve always loved the idea of living in a small town and having a large yard and garden. I live in a small town, but am in a townhouse with small flowerbeds and no land other than that shared by the rest of the homes. I’m always amazed that I like it.
Now that I’m home I have concerns about my medium clothing choices. I hope they don’t shrink in the wash! The shirts are short sleeved & made of a material that I think & hope is impervious to shrinkage, so there is hope they won’t be a problem. The large sized tops were baggy when I tried them on.
I was awakened early by a snoring bear next to me and couldn’t go back to sleep. I’m looking forward to going to the fitness club today for yoga and to do some work on the machines. DDIL gave me lots of advice on what to do and not do in order to get my back strengthened. Too bad I don’t understand what she meant very well. Now I’m not sure which machines are okay and which I should avoid.

I work an alternate shift every other week, not much difference. one week I get off at 4:30pm, other at 5pm. by now, I've already ridden to the gym, worked out and ridden to the train station and all I need left is to ride home or ride to the fake bake then go home. I used to put in my exercises like what I've done so far in mfp. one thing I've noticed about myself; since I've gotten more friends (hardly had any b4) people would like my status as far as what I've burned. my problem is when I see that someone liked what I posted it makes me smile because someone noticed but I find that i'm telling myself, "wait! i'm not done yet, I've got more to log!!" why should I worry. I say to myself, I don't want them to think that that was all I burned. is that crazy or what!.
sooooooooooo, I am going to start logging as I do stuff again, instead of logging all of it when I get home at the end of the day. y do you ask? cuz I know you are huh.... so I don't have much time on the puter (aka computer) when I get home cuz I still have to unpack my bag, get the bike stuff off of me, change, get dinner stuff ready, look at my husband at least to say hey there, pet the kids b4 going to be and starting it over. I need to do this especially now that i'm fake baking so that is taking up more time.
soooooooooooo, if you like my calorie burn status? just know, there will be more to add before the end of my day. carry on..... just don't want someone out there thinking i'm a slacker :0)

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding.
Good Morning Ladies,
Michele, if I understand you correctly on the tree skirt, it sounds like you will take the “un-yarned” edge and turn it under like a hem, then put backing on it. That certainly sounds like it would work. What kind of rubber backing are you using? I have a beautiful skirt that I bought and it has a satin type of backing which makes it easy to adjust around the tree. The rubber sounds like it would stick to the floor and make it more difficult to arrange? Just a thought. Now just for your mental health, you pick a project and finish it!! Do you hear me? LOL Speaking of mental health, thank goodness I have Google Chrome and don’t have to do all that scrolling. That was making me a little crazy.
Naiomi, I appreciate naps now too. Glad at least half your reports and difficult meetings are over. Hang in there.
Sassy, you are so right that the prep for a colonoscopy is the dreaded part. The procedure is nothing after that. I’m glad this group could give you the kick you needed. Isn’t it amazing the influence words on a computer can have when they come from people you feel like you know? I love this group of ladies, you included! Who is that precious bunny in the pictures?? What a doll. I used to pick things up with my toes and for some reason, haven’t done that in years. Could it be that I got too fat to see them?
Joyce, I do love my Romaine lettuce but as for all those weedy looking things, no way. Luckily most of the salad bars (that I rarely go to) do have Romaine for Caesar salads. Happy Birthday to your DD. Didn’t anyone think to tell you that you can actually deliver a baby during day time hours or did you just like to get your money’s worth out of your doctor? LOL
Gilly, I only have one child, a girl, and I vote with your Mom that they are just as bad. And talk about manipulate! OMG But what gets me is that as Moms we seem to allow ourselves to be manipulated until we reach the breaking point. (or sanity sets in) We love them all so unconditionally that we seem to lose focus of ourselves at times. Great going on that swimming!
Allison, sending healing thoughts for you to get back to fully healthy right away. I hate being sick! ((Hugs))
Sylvia, I used to cry at the drop of a hat for no reason at all. I take a mild anti-depressant and can’t remember the last time I cried. I am happy to say that it doesn’t keep me from being happy or even silly at times and I absolutely love to laugh. Sending the best thoughts for your colonoscopy and really hope they can find and fix whatever is causing your problems. (((Huggs)))
Barbie, I’m just too sure that you can conquer any dance you set your mind to. Have fun with it.
Heather, it sounds like a wise choice to get help with the yard. Our yard has so much clay that it is hard to keep it looking nice. It is also impossible to dig in the flower beds so that really limits what we can do there. I love a beautiful yard but this one is the worst we've ever had.
Katla, I think the biggest thing on exercises and your back is to listen to your body. I can tell when something is not feeling right as in it could be hurting me. Just good for you in doing what you can.
Pip, girl you shouldn't worry about what anyone thinks of your exercise. We all know you are an overachiever. I have started not adding mine on MFP until I have finished my food log. I don't like it adding the calories to my day. Don't ask me why. just cuz.
Welcome to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
We got some rain last night and this is the first morning in a while that I didn’t wake up sneezing like crazy. Yesterday was so bad that it was wearing me out. I didn’t get in much exercise so was laying on the sofa last night doing leg raises just to try to do something. I think I’ll get off this computer and go exercise while I feel I can.
Have a wonderful day, ladies. If you need a little encouragement to get up and get moving, consider yourselves encouraged. We can do this!
words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.

Good morning! I can't remember if I posted yesterday or not. Oh, well...I had a rough day at job #2 yesterday because the volunteers didn't do their job over the weekend. I was not a happy camper and left work exhausted with every joint and my head aching. Because I was in so much pain, I decided that it would be in my best interest to take a couple of ibuprofen and attempt to relax for a bit. By then it was getting dark (cloudy day) so I finished out my 11,000 steps by running circles around the couch.
I've been trying harder at setting my fitbit for sleep monitoring. Even though I'm in bed and lights are out by 10:30 p.m. and the first alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m., I'm averaging about five hours of sleep. It's no wonder I'm so tired all of the time! I know that part of the reason right now is that my shoulder hurts so much and I can't get comfortable, but that doesn't make me less tired. Blargh!
I am reading a book by Gretchen Rubin (because so many of you talked about The Happiness Project) called Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives. It has given me some insights and is an enjoyable read. However, she and I have some very opposing points of view on weight loss!
Naiomi - If you're having trouble remembering to get up from your desk, there is a free download for your computer called Varidesk. You can customize it to remind you get up on a regular basis and will even tell you when it is time to sit back down. I rarely use it now, but I did when I was trying to get in the habit of getting up and walking for five minutes every hour.
Well, I'm off to get some more work done. Have a great day!
Carol in NC0 -
damnit - the food part is easy cuz, i'm just gonna do a repeat of yesterday so it's already in there. I will just add or remove at the end of the day, lolol0

Good morning everyone!
Beth in Maine: 30 minutes on the exercise book. Awesome! Glad you are feeling better.
Katla: Medium pants - gotta love it!
Michele - Hope the praying mantis turns out the way you want it. I remember using a type of glue when I was crocheting that would prevent the ends from coming undone. Maybe that would work for the tree skirt?
Sassy: Love your bunny.. adorable!
Allison: Hope you feel better soon and that the bathroom finishes on time. It's not fun doing "bird baths".. That's a new expression for me I love it. Hope you won't mind me stealing it.
Sylvia: Good for you putting yourself first.
Dr.KatieBug: I have a son that has a difficult time holding a job as well. Here's hoping he finds another one soon.
Heather: Glad the book is finally coming together for you.
Lillian: Thanks, I'm hoping my PT guy can fix it this afternoon..right now I'm blaming him for making it worse.
Pip: There is no way in the world anyone could ever think you a slacker! I dream of having 1/4 of your energy :laugh:
Apparently good posture and muscle strengthening will prevent shrinkage at least according to my PT. I hope he is right since this one of the things I use for motivation to continue the difficult exercises he has me doing. At my height I can't afford to lose any more!
Thought for the day: The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense. -Thomas Edison
Carey - Edmonton0 -
Dreary, dreary, dreary here. Should be at work but waiting for a return call from my son's neurologist. Another nasty migraine. Probably a rebounder from Monday. Sigh.
No damage showing on the scale after my chocolate splurge on Sunday. Healthy choices yesterday and so far today.
Lesley .... happy dance for you and Blaize! He looks very content in his new home!
Janet ... love the baby bunny photos!
Chatty ladies ... I'm keeping up with the reading ... just not very talkative here right now.
Beth in WNY0 -
I think it will be gray all day here but the rain has moved off the coast according to radar. There is an important meeting of the mounted police support group I belong to tonight. May just bandage really well over the vaseline and go; honestly, this dr. seems too conservative; I'd be doing more at this point if I had a heart transplant. A bored yanniejannie is not a happy yanniejannie!!!! I won't lie, anxiety sets in with boredom and I'm eating my frustrations.........hence, no food logging lately. Enough of this!
Carey.......Read your link on sleep this am; should have read it at 2am; I did know a lot of it..Dr. Oz suggested the socks on his show and I've worn them at night ever since and feel they really do help.
Lesley........I didn't realize that a dogs ear position changes as they age! Guess I never thought about it, thanks, I learned something new.
Katla......Congrats on the new size, I too, hope they don't shrink for you. Sorry going to the gym didn't work out. Frankly, on my less than patient days, I've been known to just leave the gym if I can't find a parking space my first drive around the lot.........I figure it wasn't meant to be.
Sylvia........Hope your test is over, went well, and they solved (or at least found out) your problem.
Heather.........YAY for book progress!!!
Janet.........Oh, wow......a three inch loss........that's quite a lot......welcome to petites.
Naiomi......"Centering" thoughts being sent for a report you are happy with!
Sassy......AAAHHHH........sweet pics!!! Both DH and DD can pick up things with toes; mine are too short and stubby.
Joyce.........I did remember to ask the MA who numbed me if they do a frozen section; he didn't seem to know the term.
Gilly.......Kudos on your swim!!!!
Anamika...........You stay awhile, you hear? We miss you!!!!!!!!!
Cynthia..........Feel better!!!
Cranky and impatient today, probably lack of sleep,

Happy Wednesday ! ! !
Today is the first day I have lost my post
Just hit a random button while talking, and it disappeared. So, I'll start over (maybe it won't be as wordy this time, but not likely).
Gilly - congrats on the exercise. I admire how long you can exercise in the water. In fact, I admire anyone who has an attention span for exercise that is longer than my 10 minutes.
Naiomi - Congrats on the extra walking. I'm also at a desk job, and I sometimes stand up and walk around just to get off my duff. I know you can do this !
I would like to join the ranks of people who pick up things with their feet. I find it less painful than bending or squatting. Plus it's fun to see if I can "throw" things because it makes me laugh at myself.
Regarding kids and their (in)dependance. I think at any age we like to know that our parents will "save" us. Plus, I think some parents like to feel needed. I know my Dad is that way, because whenever we go to a concert or something together, he always tries to pay for everything. But I do choose carefully how I will help 24 y.o. DD. I will send her a gift card for groceries, or make her car payment, but I won't send her cash, or any direct route for buying cigarettes.
Lettuce - I think I like them all, but I don't think I like anything called "leaves". I try to eat kale, since it is supposed to be anti-inflamatory, and DS likes romainne, so I buy that a lot, too. DH thinks he only likes iceburg on a taco, but I usually give him romainne and he hasn't said anything yet.
I hope someone will share their low fat/low calorie muffin recipe again for me. DH and I went to different stores at the same time on the same day one day, and both bought bananas, so I need to use them up soon, and the thought of banana muffins in the freezer sounds appealing. Thanks in advance.
I see a few people have posted since I started this, so . . .
Hugs for Everyone ! ! !

Welcome all the new people! :flowerforyou:
Anamika - Soooooo good to see you. Come back more often!
Katla - Love it that you are in a medium! Happy dance!
I wear socks all the time - in bed as well. It is OFFICIALLY a heat wave when I take my socks off. :laugh:
Sassy - ooooohhhhhh beautiful bunny!
DH has given the grass its first cut of the season. We have had an estimate from the lawn man and I think DH will accept it. The man seemed very honest about what was worth doing and what wasn't. We tidied up a bit more of our troublesome bed. I think we will put some annuals in there for colour.
I haven't heard from DS#1 at all about the cover. I am getting worried about him. In the absence of anything from him I had a little play with a photo this pm and, to my amazement, actually produced something half decent. Never tried anything like it before. I also wrote my author bio for the endpapers.
"Heather Eyles is the author of several books for children, including "Well I Never" and "The Trouble With Herbert". This is not a children's book."
DH said, "You're right there!" :laugh:
Must get on with my Chinese fish.
I love all salad leaves, especially the ones that look like weeds! I like the spicy ones best and I adore rocket, (arugula)
Love you all and I thank you for your patience with me about my book crisis.

Ok ... I'm definitely out of sorts today ... posted a rant reply on some big facebook post about food stamps ... I'm sure it would have been lost among the hundreds of others, but then I went back and deleted it to be sure. I'm not sure why I just didn't leave it ... my thoughts about the subject didn't change, but I know I'm among the minority on the subject.
Was talking to a nurse at older son's doctor's office ... the nurse asked a question on a medication change. We had just dropped from (7) 125mg capsules to (6) 125 mg capsules. The nurse couldn't figure out how many mg total he was taking. I said ... multiply 6 times 125 ... the nurse shook his head and said I can't figure it out ... let's just say my confidence took a nose dive ...
Now off to infusion center for younger son's migraine ...

Hello All,
I'm new to the community. I'm crazy busy, but I think this is something I need--a little accountability and encouragement.
April Goals (only 3 weeks left)
Cardio--3x week
Body Pump--2x week
yoga--1x week
Stick with it, even when I have a weak day in terms of eating. I'm SOOO impatient and easily frustrated with this kind of stuff.
Keep a positive attitude.
I'm 7 pounds away from my goal, so I'm hoping to lose 1 pound/week (3 pounds)0 -
Happy Wednesday. It is a deary day, been trying to rain and all we are getting so far is mist. I am working an 8 hour shift today so planning to walk home. I am feeling better today as got about 7 hours sleep last evening.
When we got home from work last evening the neighbors were moving out. Happy Dance!!! I was concerned as with the weather warming up I was afraid of all night partys and beer bottles in my yard. But not have to worry about it now. I just hope the next one that move in are better. In the 12 years since we bought our house this is the first time we have had trouble with the people living there.
DS and family from Iowa are coming to visit this weekend. They are to be here tomorrow evening and stay till Sunday. So I am hoping that DS and I can get along the whole time they are here. He knows how to push my buttons.
Joyce--I use cinnamon sticks all over my kitchen and I keep them there year round and having no problems.
Katla--I agree I can not do a good cry. There are times I wish I could, only thing I do well is get pissed!. I decided this morning to take another apporach. I emailed her and offered to help do the schedule since she has so many new things to learn. She said that would be fine and after talking since this one is late coming out she is going to use the one the old boss and I did yesterday and the next one we will work on. So hoping this will make things better. I know for now I feel better about it. Congrates on the NVS smaller size.
Damit--our boss above my superisor doesn't have a clue. He had knee surgery so was off most last week and this week he is doing only half days. He has no idea what goes on down here. He is mostly doesn't want to know.
sweetnsassy--What a cutie!! Thanks for sharing.
Well ladies have a good evening and remember we are not in this alone.
Blessings, Vicki GI NE

I am not even going to try to catch up! I have been off track and off MFP since my last post here in March. Too much going on in my life!
Good news, I sold my house in TN (tentative closing date 4/24/15)--- Bad news is I will need to pay in at the closing (losing money)---Good news is that I will take a 'vacation' to attend the closing and visit my daughter and BFF in TN.
Good news, my son has been clean for almost 3 months now.
Bad news/good news -- consolidating all my credit cards to get my finances back on track so I can retire at 65 (in 6 years!)
Good news: my colonoscopy came back with no problems!
Bad news: my DH had his done for first time and 9 pre-cancerous polyps were removed---- good news is that it saved his life!
Quick updates. I am at work and have to get back to it. I love my job but it has been hectic for the last month!
Goals for March were met at about 75% so not entirely off track.

Words for the year:
Determination and Moderation
April Goals:
Finalize TN house sale (tentative closing date: 4/24/15)
Exercise at least 12 times this month (not even once since 4/1)
Eat 4 veggies a day, and 2 fruits a day (not bad so far)
Record what I eat. (again, not once since 4/1)
The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
