DH and sabotage #3 for the week:

I can't eat white bread, I'm on a healthy lifestyle eating plan so I don't eat ice cream. Of course taking me to Kopp's (fast food and frozen custard) when I'm hungry and thirsty makes perfect sense to the man who claims to love me yet attempts to sabotage my efforts. When we get back in the car he says: "What happened? You said you were thirsty, and I brought us here to eat and get something to drink. You make a little scene in front of the cashier when you order your bottle of water and go stomping away, just to walk around the block several times. I don't get it." "Yes, Greg, I know you don't get it. If I wanted to eat junk I would have said let's go get some junk. Since you are obviously never going to "get it" let's go to SerbFest, so at least I can try some food I've never tasted before". Yuck, you can't make me eat anything I've never tried. Never mind, just take me home so I can eat some vegetables and buy more life insurance while you stuff yourself with junk.

Complaining done and swept into the corner. Thanks Friends ! ! !

I'm looking for MFP friends to share this amazing and challenging journey with!!

Did 45 minutes of a Double Down DVD. I like this one, you can really push yourself. I don't think I pushed myself today as much as I could have. The plan for tomorrow is to do some pilates and then go to WalMart. I need to make the cake for the social this weekend and I need eggs. I also need to buy gas so I'll get some while I'm there. One good thing about being here in the South is that going to WalMart early on a Sunday means there's practically no one there -- everyone's at church. I go to church on Saturdays so that works for me.

Barbie - I'm thinking that the weights like you have aren't for me. Like today I could add an extra 3lb weight. To have to go and unclip it, put on another weight, reclip it -- that would be too much time. It was just faster to pick up a 3lb weight. I also need different size weights depending on what part of the body I'm working on. Like you can go heavy on legs and back -- those are big muscles. But I need lighter weights for shoulders -- those are smaller muscles. Especially when I'm going lateral raises with both hands

DJ - I wish there was some sort of pill to take to get rid of that "bloated" feeling you get when you eat different foods. Like yesterday, even tho I had an egg white omlet, I think they put some sort of cheese in it, and to me there was a lot of butter. There probably wasn't but to me there was. Don't get me wrong -- the food was good. Just that my system isn't used to all that butter so I felt "yuk" for a while. Fortunately, they didn't give me any toast. I don't remember if I asked for none or not, but not getting it was just fine with me. I remember when we lived in the Poconos we had a freezer. Well, with three little kids, there were many days when by the time I'd bundle all three up, I wanted to buy EVERYTHING I would need for the next week or so. But then my freezer got a real good workout. Well, it does now, but that's because there's only the two of us and I prepare meals in advance, freeze them, then take them out of the freezer a few days in advance. I usually will have some bread in the freezer. But I laugh when there's the threat of the "s" word

pip - yes, I'd call gall bladder removal serious surgery. I don't know how you're doing it with that shoulder. Yea that your prescription came in! lovely airstream. You do know that you and Kirby can take a road trip to NC, don't you? Great quilt.


Mindy - hope your first day at WF went great. I'm sure it did

Joyce - understand men????? You HAVE to be kidding!!!! When you're using your stove/oven as a countertop can you lock out the burners so they can't be accidentally turned on? I can and love that feature. Like for the social I can put a cooler with water on it and know that someone can't accidentally turn on the stove. Bad part is if someone needs to use my oven or stove, they can't. Oh well...they really shouldn't be expecting me to cook their food for them. I don't think dying the shorts would work only because at the seams the dye would be a different shade. I'll just wait until next season. That is...unless I find a pair of white shorts at a really really good price. Then I might try dying them myself. I can't even find white ones at the Salvation Army. At their prices, I wouldn't mind experimenting with dying the shorts. Great on getting that table. I think we have two 6 footers, a 5 footer, and a card table. I can't understand what's happening to my body. I seem to have this "pooch". I watch what I eat, you know I exercise a lot, drink usually over 100oz of water a day, but for some reason it's there. Wish I could somehow get it to go down.

katla - try that Arctic Zero. It's really good but not creamy at all since it's for lactose intolerant people. I think you'll like it. Good for you making new goals for your riding. Sounds incredible.

Lori - so glad we were able to inspire you. Keep coming back for more inspiration

Welcome everyone new

Sharon - what a lovely GD you have there. I can see why hubby would melt

Heather - I bet your failure was delish, as everything you make is

Oh, made key lime cupcakes to take to bowling Monday and then iced them. Everyone is supposed to bring something. They're going to be serving "bbq" but I'm thinking that I'll just take a few pieces of fruit with me

Gayle - I've often wondered why hotels don't have their pools open 24hrs. I could understand if they had a lifeguard, but many of them don't but they don't open until later in the a.m. You are so lucky to have one that's open 24hrs

jb - can you do the low impact jumping jacks? Those are the only ones I do

Lenora - OUCH!!!! Glad you weren't seriously injured. When I clean the spa or the steps for the pool, you just can't have the broom at an angle so as much as it pains me (especially in 90 degree weather) I just HAVE to get in the pool/spa. Isn't that terrible? Our pool is a salt water one.

Carey - I had this DEATHLY fear of horses. At the time we lived in Kennett Square (PA) which is right next to Unionville which is BIG TIME horse country. If you remember Barbaro, his owner went to the same Y that I went to. When he was injured, the hosp he went to was right around the block from us. Jessica worked there, she got to pet him and all. The media didn't but she did. She knew his vet and all. Anyway, I digress (so what else is new?). When I first started taking horseback riding lessons because I wanted to get over my fear, the instructor had to keep reminding me to breathe. The horse I started on had a lame leg so he couldn't go fast at all. I only got to where I would walk the horse, trotting a bit, went on trail rides, but that's about it.

Cheri - what a neat pic. Thanks for sharing it. All of you were so cute. Your mother must have had the patience of a saint...and she was probably very good at improvising when something was forgotten. And then to see you all grown up! Amazing

Michele in NC

I got it damnit

fanncy - they do

Linda, after we were gone a good part of the summer, I had a lot of cats having soft and even mushy stools. Took samples to the vet to check them and nothing showed up. Then my shelter's manager told me that they were probably stressed from us being gone and gave me some B12 shots for me to give them weekly. Just one dose and many of the cats are "cured". So momma kitty may just be stressed from having kittens, moving, etc. and may very well just need a shot of Vitamin B12. I give my cats their vaccinations so I know how to give them shots so I did this myself, but most folks will need to go to the vet. In your case, the shelter you are fostering them for may just give her the shot for you if you call them.

Thanks for the B12 suggestion. There is a vet tech at the shelter and I have a call in to her. Hoping she will call me back tomorrow. Right now, we are continuing with the pumpkin and trying to put some probiotics in her food as well.

Got in about 15 minutes ago. Due to another silly mistake I made with my medicine tonight and bad food choices I made, am not reading anything tonight. Will catch up tomorrow. Nite nite Joyce, Indiana
