Happy Friday! Staci - Sounds like protein might be what I will try to increase next plateau when and if it happens. Julie - Love your new haircut! Wish I could pull off a pixie cut but I have always had long hair until last year. Just a little frustrated that it is taking so long to grow out. Ughh! Lexie - Congrats once…

Happy Thursday! Lexie - Sounds like you had some nice "me" time before the boys got sick. Don't worry about venting. That is what friends are for. And I just have to add fantabulous release! Cynthia - You sound busy busy. Hopeful your kosher turkey will be worth it. Hubby made spaghetti last night and added to the can…

Happy Tuesday! ReNae - Yeah, I have specifically in emails with return receipts before I started chemo to get it off my chest. I cannot talk to them in person because my sister will try to turn it around so it is all my fault and my brother will not say a word. Needless to say nothing came from it. Such is family. - Hope…

Happy Monday! Staci - Thanks for the advice! Can't wait to hear about your weekend! Steph - Thank you! I hope the new cookbooks can inspire you again foodwise! - Nice run! Your chicken breasts sounds yummy! Cynthia - I do have an UnderArmour shirt somewhere. I will have to dig it out and see if that helps. And I understand…

Happy Friday! Staci - Congrats on the release! Bobbie - Hoping you are practicing what you preach! It is good advice! Becky - Congrats on the release! I cannot say that I have looked much into increasing my protein though I am sure that my hubby would love that, carnivore that he is! Steph - So you indulged. It is out of…

Happy Thursday! ReNae - I agree with you wholeheartedly! Yours are so supportive! Mine just hide in their rooms and complain about what I make for supper. Greg - I tried quinoa last week and was suprised that I liked it. Even my hubby did too. Cynthia probably has all the facts about it but what I understand that it is a…

I will admit that I did not get all of the calf raises done. My neuropathy in my feet would only let me do so many (about 15) before it became unbearable. I will finish them though. I do not know when but I will. Hoping the crunches will be easier. Jane - I will admire you from afar since I will not join you on your…

Happy Wednesday! Renae - Congrats on joining a gym! I am in the first week of my membership and waiting for my free session with a trainer. Staci - Let us know how the prelogging goes. As for trick or treaters, my family always goes to my MILs because I live on a cul-de-sac and only get neighbors. Setting up the bonfire…

All right here are my goals: 1. I will go to the gym 5x a week. 2. I will drink more green tea than coffee this month. 3. I will try 5 new foods (including the shirataki noodles still in my fridge.) 4. I will plan all my weekday evening meals for the month. 5. I will take a bubble bath for myself once a week.

1. In High School, I sang competitively and was never scored lower than high ranking. (I haven't sang in years.) 2. I played clarinet in the school band. 3. When I was 9, I had 32 cats. (I lived on a farm.) 4. I totaled my first car two weeks after getting my driver's license. 5. I was a surprise mid-life baby. My parents…

Happy Monday! JJ - I went to a Japanese Steakhouse this weekend and had a children's serving of a tempura bento box. It was delish! Renae - Congrats on the scale movement! Snow? I can wait a little bit longer for it! Bonnie - I think that Steph is covering November. It is posted in the other thread. Julie - Can't wait to…

Happy Friday! Steph - I am thinking that everyone is getting busy with galas, Halloween, and dancing. They'll be back! JJ - If I had a fridge to put it in at work I would be getting a bento box too! I looked at them at Epcot and went back twice before deciding not to get one. Hope you take a pic so I can see your creative…

Bobbie - Thank you for the compliment! It makes me feel wonderful to know that I can be helpful and be able to give back for all the times that someone has nhelped me through hard times. All rightie! Onward to some compliments! Bobbie - I love the fact that you are a strong person and so filled with a can do attitude!…

Happy Wednesday! Staci - Running up the stairs? I am happy if I can go up three flights of stairs without breathing like Darth Vader afterwards. Cynthia - As much as I enjoy roller coasters, I have to admit that the wooden ones make my back and head ache for the remainder of the day. I know you will enjoy it and make sure…
-
JJ- I would like to thank you for the compliment. I have always tried to find something to laugh about especially in the hardest of times. It makes it easier when everyone around me is there laughing with me. Cynthia - I would like to thank you for the compliment. It wasn't easy but I always thought to myself that there is…

Happy Tuesday! Jane - Let me know how that whole body taking orders works. Because if it does, mine is going to have a severe talking to! Hope the moddy coaster evens out! Staci - Great idea! Sounds like you have done a bang up job for the gala! I wouldn't want to follow in your shoes for the following year though. Renae -…

Happy Monday! Just a short note today. I signed up for the new Gold's Gym Express that is opening up here in the next week. I went and bought work out pants and have signed up for a free session with the personal trainer. I am hoping that I will be able to get my butt out bed in the morning and go before work. Also, I…

Happy Friday! Staci - From what I understand, they both have the same life span. I will make sure that the surgeon address this when I see her next week though. I know that she leans towards silcone because that is the norm. But I appreciate the advice! Julie - I hope that you are feeling better! Cynthia - Hmmm, Barbie? I…

Happy Thursday! I am a little overwhelmed with the response. I agree with Julie that it does expose us but in a good way. I hope that it has helped put things in perspective. **TMI ALERT** (just in case it is too much for our rooster) I made the appointment for another in office consultation next Thursday. I am still…

Happy Wednesday! Sooooo...most of the posts here lately have most of us in a funk. Sometimes we have to stop and re-evaluate what we are doing, why we are doing it, and whether it is still the right thing to do. For me, I make lists. I challenge all of you to list 5 things you like about yourself, 5 things you don't like…

Happy Tuesday! Bobbie - I am soo jealous! I haven't tried on a pair of boots in years because they have never fit my calves. Maybe that will be one of my rewards. Renae - I found that quote on a magnet a week before my first chemo and I cried right there in the store. It has helped me through a lot of things and I am glad…

Happy Monday! Renae - Hope you had a wonderful camping weekend! Julie - Nice NSV! ((Lexie)) - You and your family will be in my thoughts during this time. Remember we are here for you. ((Hugs)) - Size 16? You go girl! Pam - Hope you had a good sleep! Cynthia - If I could come and take your place I would. But since I…

I would get him some suspenders, a magnifying glasses, an ear phone or hearing aid, etc. Make the card humungous, maybe do something with bingo and oh, don't forget a bib.

Happy Friday! Renae - Hope you meeting went well! It has been raining off and on here in IL as well. Good thing that where I work there is a underground concourse to all the buildings in the complex and we are allowed to exercise walk there otherwise I wouldn't get any walking done. Greg- Now I just have to work on the…
