I know the feeling Connie. Our rec center where our pool is will be closed all week. We only have one swimming pool in town. Although when it is 75+ degrees here we do have another option. But it is for the hard core idiots..........yes I resemble the remark. I will say the water was around 60 degrees yesterday. It felt so good. It has been a few years since the ocean water was that warm. I swam for an hour and a half in the ocean. I stopped because I didn't want to get really sunburnt. I am planning on taking the kids I babysit to the beach after nap time today. At least in the ocean I don't have to worry about itching for days or getting a rash from the water.
Today is supposed to be 80+ and tomorrow too. Can't wait to hit the beach again.

Hello, friends! Well, I am back from my NC vacation visiting with extended family and my mom and four siblings. It was fun to see everyone and have all five kids together for the first time in many years.
As for the 4th challenge, no loss for me. But, I begin my personal training and metabolic coaching tomorrow. I am SO excited to begin. Slightly terrified of the measurements, weigh in, and BF% measurement. With this one year commitment, I know I will stay true to the new lifestyle.
Even though they will give me a print out of what I am to eat for the week, I will still log my meals and work outs into MFP so I can watch trends over time of what I eat and how I exercise and how it impacts WL/inches lost.
Congratulations to all those who had a loss for the 4th of July challenge. I will be one of those for the new Labor Day challenge.

weird afternoon folks . I lay down about 3 30 P M for a nap and woke up at 7 AM I thought. Jerry was not in his Chair with the TV So I figure he was talking his morning tour around the house I made my coffee and was thinking about fixing my morning bowl of oatmeal when he came in and ask me how was my nap. I told him my night sleep was great Did not have to wake up at all for the potty room very unusually He told me it was 7 PM in the evening. What a Senior moment ugh I don't remember taking a nap at all. Since I did not have any supper I did go ahead and made my oatmeal. so I will have another night sleep pretty soon. And get up and have another Tuesday Morning with coffee and oatmeal. The life of a Senior.
See you in the morning marie -1 -
This heat is getting to me. The pollen count is getting high again too. My eyes were so scratchy today I ended up taking a nap while the kids played in the hose. My 13 yr old kept an eye on them and I slept with the baby. He was napping too. After he woke up I carted all 5 kids to the beach. We swam for 2 hours before one of the boys collided with a red jellyfish. There went the beach for the rest of the day. We stopped at a friends house and poured white vinegar on it to help neutralize the sting. Then after we got to my house I made a paste of evaporated milk flour and meat tenderizer. It helps neutralize the toxins better. After I got the paste on his sting he relaxed a lot. But the kids had a great time at the beach despite the sting. So did I. The water was great. A little cooler than yesterday's water but it was so refreshing. I swam alongside the kids as they played on floaty toys. Only one of the three is a strong swimmer. I wasn't worried about her. She jumps off the high dive at our pool. The others are behind her in swimming lessons. So I didn't want them out too deep without being within arm reach. I was appalled by the number of kids on floaty toys in 8+ foot deep water that couldn't swim. And parent weren't in the water supervising them. I had to help several that fell off their toys and couldn't swim enough to get back to or on the toys. Or the ones that floated so far out they were panicking because they didn't have the strength to kick back to shallower water. But all told it was fun. And I got some good therapy in despite the pool being closed this week.

Marie, yesterday must have been a weird day for naps. Jake and the pets and I lay down around one o'clock and I woke up at three and thought it was morning and wondered why it was so light already. Fortunately, I figured it out faster than you did, but I still had to get up and walk the dogs.Esther, I know you are seeking every opportunity to be active but being lifeguard for your kids and everyone else's seems like a bit much.....good that you had fun.

Good morning misfit losers! Happy Tuesday!
Marie and Barbie..your bodies and brains really needed the sleep. The naps were deep enough that you were totally rested upon awaking!
Esther..you are one busy woman! I don't know how you keep it up!
Becky..let us know how your personal training and metabolic consult goes.
Rachel..thanks again for counting the July numbers!
Body pump at the gym today!
Make it a great day, losers!

Hi everyone!!
I am back from south beach! wow was it hot there but the people watching was so worth it! these women have so much confidence to walk around in barely nothing. even at my thinnest, I never dressed like that:)
food choices were pretty good but we did eat out for five days. I actually lost 1 lb. it is interesting, I did not do a whole lot of exercise. my husband and I walked to breakfast every morning. I did the elliptical twice and no weights, go figure.....
are we just hanging in our easter group?
forgot to tell you guys that I went for a physical last week and my cholesterol was down from 235 to 186. my doc was never concerned because my good cholesterol was so high but I am so happy!! I think all this protein is helping me.
have a great day!!
Stephanie
ps. marie, I really like oatmeal for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner:)0 -
I know it is Tuesday morning and I had good night sleep. and raring to go. Today is grocer store and a trip to our small health food store I want to see if they have sunflowers seeds an nutrition yeast That is suppose to taste like cheese.

Have a great day,

Good morning! Well today is my 46th birthday and I'm sitting in the airport right now. I'm so exhausted from my 2 week trip to Dallas and Chicago. My family had a reunion for the holiday weekend and I was on the planning committee so I have been extremely busy but it was a success...everyone enjoyed themselves.
They just announced a gate change for my flight...gotta go! Hope everyone enjoys their day.
Ohhhh...I wonder how I did with my weight? I just hope I didn't gain much!
