No buying processed junk food like cookies, cakes, pies, ice cream, etc. (only cottage cheese)
Exercised everyday (last Tuesday I considered pushing carts my exercise & Sunday only did like 2-3 minutes on the exercise bike since watching four kids is tiring & that counts haha).
A coworker bought some of the new Cupcake Filled Oreos & left them in the break room (since I didn't say I can't eat processed junk food other people buy) & I tried one. Total waste of calories!
Awesome job, Kelly!

At least you know now before buying a whole package!
That's what I told a few coworkers haha!
Now I can save my money & buy something even better.
I'm hoping we get the Coldstone Creamery Eggs again this year!
Omg, these are are real thing??
Wal-Mart has had these the past few years, but haven't found them yet this year. I remember the Cake Batter Cookie Bash egg was really good.
The eggs are more expensive around $5.00, but pretty big for the price you pay.
Ummm....who wants to send me a cake batter one??? Or bring it to Nashville?
Although, at the moment I am doing really really badly. I can't stop eating. Anything and everything, all the time, mostly stuff that is bad for me. I'm on a real bad binge streak that i can't seem to curb. Coupled with a total lack of will to exercise. I don't even have to leave my house but i just cannot do it. I'm having a really bad week emotions wise, and its all i can do to get through work. i go home, eat (or stop on the way home and eat), go home and climb in to bed and cry. This emotions thing sucks.
Anyway, who is coming to Nashville?
You've been through A LOT, Nicci! Try to do your best to take care of yourself. HUGS!
And I am not coming to Nashville, because:
ROAD TRIP!
ETA looks like you pass right through Kansas.... You could make it... with MO!
Where she'd pass through, is about 4 hours north of where I am. Also, April is Mr. Mo's birthday and I don't think he'd be cool with me ditching him for a road trip to Nashville. Plus, country music KILLS MY SOUL. Do you WANT me to die, POF? DO YOU?!!!
Nashville isn't all country music... I've probably heard more live classic rock and heavy metal than country in the bars downtown, it's all in finding the music you like. It's Music City.
But isn't the race you're doing centered around country music. The ONLY way I'd even CONSIDER doing it is if Mr. Mo was willing to go (which I'm pretty sure he's not going to want to run/walk a race for his 40th birthday) AND if I listened to my earbuds the whole time with Metallica, Linkin Park, Rage, and all the other heavy stuff that's for good for running to.
PS. I'd love to go meet you all, just not at this event;
It used to be called the Country Music Marathon, but I never remember hearing much country music along the course. Of course, I listen to my own music, too. LOL
I totally get that you guys aren't about running, we'll just have to plan a future event. I actually did run a 10 mile race on my 40th birthday. Haha! Different strokes.
It's true - there's a huge amount of country music here, but my kids don't like country either and we've found a TON of non-country venues.
I only signed up on the promise of country music and live bands every mile
There's PLENTY of country music, I'm just saying it's possible to avoid it if you don't like it...
And, there is a band at every mile. I ran the full marathon in 2006 and the half in 2015. There's a lot of talent along the course.
Plus we can hang out in local bars every night and listen to country music.
Laura, honey, you know I love you, but Johnny Cash is much closer to Bluegrass than what passes for country these days. I can go the Carter Fold any warm Saturday night and here the music that is Johnny's roots. It's on June Carter Cash's family farm, about 25 minutes from my house. A.P. , June's father, asked my grandmother to pray for June because he thought she was making a mistake marrying Johnny. ( Mamaw agreed to pray for June, but only if A.P. would pray for Johnny. That's dome wisdom.) I know country from its roots up. Tennessee Ernie Ford went to my high school. Nashville might be Music City, but I am from the Birthplace of Country Music.
Edit: here should be hear and dome should be some. I can't type today...sorry
Awesome background. . I guess I like bluegrass then. I was raised an hour drive from anywhere until middle school. However I was more fish hatchery and logging community than farming but I was among the farms and my parents own a little ranch.
Even though I am from the north, I grew up listening to country because my dad is from the south. Somewhere along the way, country became pop music. I loved country when they let ugly people make music in Nashville! I have watched the CMAs here and there over the years, and it has been taken over by blonds and dudes that spend a lot of money on their hair, fake tans, pearly white teeth, etc.! There are no more outlaws. It was much better when people like Johnny Cash, George Jones, Hank, Hank Jr., Conway Twitty, Charlie Pride, Loretta Lynn, Alabama, etc., were making music.
Agreed on this. What country I like is the older country, not the new stuff.
I like it all. Today would have been Johnny Cash's 86th? birthday (they announced it on the radio this am).
Yep, my dad is almost 83. My mom would have been 80. June was my dad's age, I think. Don't hold me to that, I didn't look it up.
I think I ended up hearing again later he was 83.0 -

You left out Ricky Skaggs and the Oak Ridge Boys and Reba McIntyre, but I would take your list.
I love all of them.0 -

But no alcohol or Cadbury eggs right?
Nope. Neither of those!0 -
