Beagle, arthritis in the toes SUCKS in a big way! there is NOTHING that makes the pain go away (so far) and I can't exactly stay off my feet for any period of time either at work or at home. Not to mention, I REALLY want to get my walk in this mornin' ( I figured if I took that piece out for a bit it would calm down but nope. It just made me really miss my walks! LOL) Our "doctor" IS nice as a person but as a doctor he needs to learn to listen to his patients more. I went to see him and told him I really needed to be tested to see if my Mono had come back. "No. It won't make a reoccurance after so long (a year). I just think you're over doing it." Yeah, they should tell that to the ER doc who said that it returned and was causing me to "blank out" b/c it was so severe! Dummy.

Nutty Buddy, doggie ain't so little! LOL He's a St. Bernard/ Chow mix - the size and drool of a St. Bernard and the long fuzzy hair of a Chow, including that "lion's mane" look. Hes a tank, but hes a lovable tank :D Too funny about your "quack"!!! LOL I would've LMAO - AFTER I died of mortification! LOL

Korrie, You got it! :D Motivation via post :D LOL ALthough.........


I must confess. My willpower and determination took a temporary dive yesterday :eek: Hubby and I planned to go to dinner at a restaurant that had healthy choices for me and things that he likes as well. We traveled an hour only to find THEY WEREN'T THERE ANYMORE!!! So... we went to the only other restaurant on that strip.. A chinese place! It was SOOO good. I even made sure to have a light soup and lots of tea before I started eating....my egg roll and general tao's chicken!!! :( I DID like it - but I felt so guilty!!!! (not to mention sick to my stomach from the grease :eek: ) So, i know I went over my points but I'm not sure by how many - a lot I think :eek:

I am gonna get some breakfast and see if I can get my walk in :D Lookin' kinda iffy out.... I hope the rain holds off!
 
Oh I love Chinese food, too! Interesting that the grease made you ill. Oneo f my favorite foods is fish and chips. I said I'd have it once I'm through all of this, but I think it will make me sick, too. Well, keep up the good work - I can't believe you banked a point! That's great.
 
Hey Nuthead! Did ya ever get that walk in? Sure wish I could get one in but you know how that is. :rolleyes: Don't worry about that chinese food! You did really good by getting in the soup first to help fill you up. You do so good on your food that a little splurge every now and then isn't going to hurt. But you already know that, huh? ;) :p

No wonder you don't have any determination or willpower. You are sending too much of it to everyone else! :D ;) :p :rolleyes:
 
MO2, I don't really mind that it makes me sick since it reminds me not to do it again for a long while! LOL That banked point took a real dive between yesterday and today :eek: Hubby and I went to the races and it was a disaster of mild proportions but still a bummer :eek:

Nutty Buddy, I didn't get my walk in as I wanted to b/c hubby decided we were going to the races that started at 1130am and I had to go grocery shopping before we left!!! So. I shopped as fast as I could and got home just in time to leave and hop the ferry to the mainland for the races :eek: No walk :( I MISS IT!!!! I SO want to go!!! It was too dark when we got back. I took a mental walk but I don't think that counts :eek:


well. Food for the day...

2 egg whites (0)
5 oz kielbasa (5)
2 light wheat toast (1)
2 T margarine (2)

Bolthouse protein/ chai drink (3)
red bull (2)

Bolthouse veggie drink - kinda like a V8 (2)
1 hot chocolate (2?)
1 cheeseburger, plain (8?)
quakes (5) :eek:

total points: 30 :(
total water: 32 oz :( :(


yup. the last set was at the races - not TOO bad but I needed protein and there wasn't much of a choice. cheeseburer, sausage, or hot dog? I took the lesser of the evils (I think?)


OH!!! When we got home from the races (about 9 hours after we left) the kids were home since the ex dropped them off at the "regular" time. Anyway, the cats collar, a choker chain kinda thing, was around his neck and he had an arm through it!!! The poor bugger was limpin' and meowin' with each step! I felt so bad!!! My poor baby can't take much of that stuff (he's 16) and here he is trying to get to me to get it off!!! We had to cut it off with wire cutters b/c I was afraid of hurting him more trying to get his arm back through it. Now he'll probably suck up all night and whine to milk it! LOL

gotta run. will try to stop in to diaries tomorrow morning :D
 
Poor kitty! I hate it when bad things happen to pets.
Hey - I just ordered Biggest Loser dvd on YOUR recommendation. I did an outdated Denise Austen video that was produced in 1997. I figured a few modern techniques have been developed in the past 9 years, so I should buy something newer. But get this - you know how I love Kickboxing?? On a total whim, I bought a Billy Blanks Cardio Kick Tae Bo dvd. I bought it used, so it wasn't too much. We'll see, right?? Have you ever bought anything used on Amazon.com before? I haven't and was a tiny bit nervous about it, but hopefully it'll be ok. They said it would ship in 4-14 days. I'm kind of excited!

Well, after that novel, have a great Monday!!
 
MO2, congrats on the new workout options! I have both and BL dvd is a great workout while the Billy Blanks is just as good and LOTS of fun. I use BL dvd every m-f when I am short on time (its only about 30 minutes) and I use Billy Blanks on the weekends when I have the hour to spare (I use the advanced tape). I really need to get a new set of Billy Blanks since mine is a set of VHS tapes and starting to wear I've used them so much :rolleyes: Kitty is fine now, sore, but fine :D He wasn't really thrilled with having his armpit in his face for hours! LOL Can't say as I would be either. LOL

Korrie!! :D They say "so goes Monday, so goes the rest of the week" so lets make it an awesome week :D


Upon waking early this mornin', I discovered why my face hurt so bad. I GOT SUNBURNED AGAIN!!!! SHeesh! The sun was behind the danged trees for so long we froze at the races AND I STILL GOT BURNED!!! Gotta love redhair and fair skin :rolleyes:

Food so far:

3/4C special K fruit & yogurt (2)
1/2 C skim milk (1)


workin' on the rest :D
 
*sigh* how could I forget this????!!! I weighed in this morning at 181.3!! :D I'm down 3.4 pounds from last Monday :D :D :D I know some of it was water due to TOM but I don't care! I lost it all and am down more from before that :D I'll take it!
 
well, what a beginnin' to the week! I just got back from the hospital with one of the boys - before the kids even got on the bus he tried to see if his leg would wrap around his neck as he was runnin'. Nope. Didn't work, but they thought he fractured his kneecap. Come to find out he was lucky in that he only bruised the bone badly. He's home today and tomorrow and has to stay off it :rolleyes: The told him to stay off it but didn't give him crutches so he has to hop to the potty or where ever. He's gonna stay home alone tomorrow *gulp* since both hubby and I are working close by (less than 5 miles away). I hope he can go to school Wednesday. If not, well, not sure yet what'll happen.

On the way back from the hospital, Paul ate the lunch I had packed for me at work so I am off to find something to shove in my gullet :p:D Be back after doc calls (not sure when, but I'll be back as soon as she does) :D
 
Oh no! Poor thing! At least it isn't broken. That's kind of strange that they didn't give him crutches.

Congratulations on losing 3 pounds!!! :D You are almost out of the 180s! Hmmm.... I think some of your pounds are being shifted to me! Lol! :rolleyes:

Guess what? Ashton (the youngest) got sunburned yesterday too! He is very blonde and has fair skin. We just really have got to stop doing this! ;)
 
Wooohoooooooooooo I New You Would Start Rocking 3 Pounds Lets Work It Harder This Week!! Yep I Am Back So Come On And Lets Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
LMAO!!! Nutty Buddy, I would NEVER "shift" my weight to you - only to my worst enemies and then I'd have to think about it since I would consider it "cruel and unusual" punishment. I'd reserve it for the worst of the worst :D LOL Ya know, we need to get together on FUN things!!! LOL These meanie things aren't "fun"!!! LOL Doc told me to keep icing the knee and keep him off his feet - " it won't be a quick fix". Well, DUH, Lady!!!!! I just want him to not miss a lot of school and he can't go to school and stay off his feet w/o crutches or something!!! Sheesh! Oh well. I have care set up for him tomorrow and I will work as late as I can to make up hours from today. We'll see where we go from there:rolleyes:

Tina, you got it! :D Harder is my goal :D
 
Scrappy!!! Welcome back!!! :D LOL I ALMOST missed your post! LOL I blame it on being in too much of a hurry today :rolleyes: Glad to see you're feelin' better :D

Man! What's with all these crises? I hope he feels better soon! I'm looking forward to letting you know how the work-outs are for me. Yay! I'm so glad I finally ordered them. I'll be looking to you for consultation, I'm sure. Pretty scary about leaving a kiddo home alone! I used to love it when m y parents left me at home alone! I never got in TOO much trouble! (I can't imagine leaving my kids home alone - but the day will come before I know it!)
 
keep up the good work, your doing great.
