Miss Ladybugs Diary

Hey Kimmers! Sorry I didn't get a chance to call again yesterday, we were busy all day. Wyatt is here for part of the summer and we me some friends and their kids at the movies then spent the day chilling at their house while the kids all played. We left the house at 11:30 and didn't get home until 9:30 last night!! BUSY!

We'll be on the road on Monday for our family vacation in TN, GA, and FL (10 days). Can I call you then while we're on the road?? What time would be best for you? I'll also have my laptop with me the whole trip so you can email me even when we're driving. Gotta love iPhone internet tethering!!!!!

It's so nice to hear from you again and have you back here on the WLF!

Have a great 4th!!!

Hey Girl,
Call me anytime after 6:30 during the week days, I'm usually working. How wonderful a vacation, your going to have a great time I know it! It's good to hear you have Wyatt too, I'm sure he always looks forward to those days when he knows he will be with his dad and real mom. LOL I know your not his real mom, but you love him and take care of him better than her, so there you go. LOL I've been busy as well, so it's probably worked out perfect for both of us. Don't sweat it, just when you get the chance give me a ring. And yes Iphone are awesome! LOL we both bought new laptops instead of desk tops after the fire, so I know what you mean. Take Care and I'll be talking to you soon.
 
Well we did not end up grilling out with our best friends, instead we went to the movies and saw Transformers. It was so good!

Today, not much going on, we will likely BBQ, but not sure if we are staying put at the rent house as fireworks are going on just a few blocks from here this evening, so likely we will stay here and not go to my sisters. We would usually go to her house because she lives 2 blocks from a park that now includes a carnival every year and then a fireworks display at night, it's fantastic!

I slept in this morning, so David went out to the property to see if he can get some blocks he used when he built our deck out there, he would like to salvage those for the new deck when we get our new place. He's such a great guy, always thinking ahead.

It's overcast here today, but HOT!! Funny it has been clear and hot all week and today when fireworks need to go off it's cloudy, OIY!! what's up with that.

Well, I'm going to go make me a bagel with light cream cheese on it, this will be about 350 calories and a side of fresh raspberries and strawberries, I always buy my fruit fresh, I'm lucky to be able to find them pretty much year around. For lunch NO CLUE, likely some low fat cottage cheese/pineapple and light deli turkey on whole wheat bread. Dinner ummm NO Clue, either Grilled chicken breast or Salmon I would think. Oh and lot's of water, I can't get enough of that and I finally bought a brita filter for my rent house thank gosh, city water smells like chlorine, I can't stand it!! I miss my well water. Boo-Hoo!!! Okay, off my soap box.

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT 4th of JULY HOLIDAY!

Love and Hugs
Kim :patriot:
 
Hey there Sweetie!
Hoping you had a great 4th.
Mine was a bummer to say the least. I had to work and then didn't even make it home until nearly 3:30 in the morning.
We have a box of sparklers that the kids are dying to rip into. Hahaha
Most likely we will do them Wednesday nite.
You should head over and check out Omega/Margaret's Summer Shake-Up Challenge.
Anyone can join at anytime. It goes until Aug 25th.
It is really helping to get me back on track.
And it is fun to be in a challenge again. They always helped me to stay so motivated before.
Tootles for now!
Mwah!!
 
I may be in pain in the morning!!

Okay, as I promised myself I went to the gym after work today, HOLY SMOKES I thought for sure I was in worse shape than I am. I ran for 3 miles and biked for 6. I was soaked to the bone when I finished, and now I remember why I didn't eat much, by the time I got home I was so tired I did not feel like eating.

I cut up some watermelon and had a few pieces, it was yummy! I also dished out about 2 cups of my hubby's black bean dip, which consists of Black beans/ corn/ green bell pepper/ green onions/jalapeños peppers/ cilantro/tomatoes/ lime juice and pepper. MMMMM, It's the BOMB! and great in fiber and low in calories great meal.

For breakfast I had a serving of mini shredded wheat/ 1% milk

morning snack/ special K bar

lunch: lean Turkey deli meat on DRY whole grain bread/ 2 cups of red grapes.

afternoon snack: serving of small honey-mustard pretzels.

I know I burned over 450 calories at the gym, so I feel terrific about that. Oh and of course I drank my water, I love water! that's all i drink in the afternoons.

I heard back from my loan officer and our we are officially pre-approved now for the new house. YIPPY SKIPPY, every day a little closer, it's pretty exciting.

I will be working from home tomorrow, as my dog needs to go to the vet. I'll go check that challenge and see if I'm ready to start that. I'm not sure, but I'm certainly going to consider. LOL Thanks Bell~

Hi Cita!! Hope your having a good evening!
Hugs and Love
Kim

Thanks Bell! I hope your having an awesome trip at the beach!

Not much to report the last two days, been very busy with the new house stuff and trying to work on all the hoopla with it. Today I had to run errands, and tonight I'm just vegging out since my hubby went to a friends house to watch the Ultimate fights, I can only stand watching so long then I get sick of seeing guys pound each other in the face. UGG!

I did go to blockbuster and rent some movies, GIRL TIME! I rented The Women and The Duchess. So that's what I'll be doing for a few hours then I'm heading off to bed so I can get up early and head to the gym.

It's been super hot hear over 100 every day, YUK! it makes it hard to take walks or spend time outside, I don't like it at all. If I still had my pool, then that would be an entirely different story. BLAH! I miss it so badly!

well everyone I'll check diary's tomorrow. I hope your all having a wonderful awesome weekend.

had a bagel this morning with light cream cheese

lunch: nothing (oops)

Dinner: about two cups of small tortellini NO Sauce, EVO and seasonings
2 Cups of Watermelon, and was it gooooood!!

And for snack tonight, glass of Cabernet and maybe...... a weight watcher dessert, we will see

You all have a wonderful evening

CHOW!
Kimmers
 
SHUCKS no Gym today!! DANG IT!

:cuss:

Okay first off I'm a little ticked I didn't get to the gym today, my hubby let me sleep in while he cut the grass in front and back, looks lovely!

I got up late, so just started off sluggish, but did end up going outstide and watering my flowers/plants and filling up the bird bath and bird feeder, that was all the heat I could stand.

I set up yesterday a massage appointment for me and my hubby at 3 today, so we went to that and OH MY GOSH! I feel like a new women, my knots are all worked out between my shoulder blades HALLELUJA! this whole house mess had me in knots huge ones.

I'm going to the gym as many days after work this week that I can, I know I have company coming in from NY to visit on Thursday evening, so I'll just play the end of the week as it comes. I will go Monday, Tuesday and Wed evening so I can get in at least 3 days, but will shoot for a 4th somewhere in there.

Today's Meals:

breakfast: Bagel w/ 2tbs light cream cheese 350 calories
2 Cups of java 80 calories little sugar/cream

lunch: no time

Dinner:
Grilled Salmon with lemon/ sweet potato with everything on the side so I can add as needed, but mainly gave the sweet butter to my hubby to eat.

1 cup of steamed veggies/ broccoli/ carrots/ green beans

Water/ Raspberry Tea


I'm still full but need to go get some water, I'm thirsty!!
I'll get back on tomorrow evening if I'm not to tired after my workout. You all have a wonderful evening!
Love and hugs
Kim
 
Sounds like a good food day there Kimmers! You mentioned in my diary that salmon didn't sound like it tastes good on a bagel LOL. Have you not heard of the New York specialty, bagels w/ cream cheese and lox? Well Lox is smoked salmon, thinly sliced and smoked and it is so good on bagels, also good with some capers on top and cucumber. New York diners always serve this. Well take care :).

Cita, I've never heard of that and I lived in NY LOL, I know why to, because at that time, I really wasn't into Salmon, I actually started eating a lot of salmon the past 5 years. LOL I'm sure if I heard salmon when I was in NY I probably thought oooooeeeewwwww gross,LOL LOL

Funny, now I pretty much get it every time I eat out.

I guess I'll have to give it a try as I was always told, don't knock it until you try it, and I agree with that statement, and I'll try anything okay just about anything once!
 
It's been a HOT, HOT busy week. My son is visiting tonight, and funny I'm doing some of his laundry. LMAO!!! he has his own washer/dryer but thought since he was coming all the way over to hang out he may as well get some laundry done while he is here, and of course I LOVE doing it, since I never get to anymore, funny how that works.

Tomorrow his grandmother is coming in from NY and she will be here several days, I think she plans on staying over at his place most of the time, but I'm still not completely sure how the weekend is going to play out, so it's all up in there at this point. She said she really misses the boys big time, so she had to come out for a visit, AHHHHH she is such an awesome Ex Mother In Law, I love her to pieces! And the best part, she loves my new husband so wow, that makes things so much easier too.

I have some appointments tomorrow then I'm taking the afternoon off. I have to get home and do a little straightening before she gets in town. I'll try and get online on or before Friday evening and post, but I can't make any guarantees at this time.

We still have not heard back from the insurance company on the remainder of our settlement and I was really hoping we would have it wrapped up by Friday, please everyone send some good mojo my way so I can finally get this whole fire behind me once and for all. We can't commit to a closing date until it's done, so we really, really need it completed quickly.

Well, not much else going on today. I had an OKAY food day, but I hope I can really rev up my workouts starting Monday again, I'm going to do my best the weather is supposed to cool down, HALLELUJAH!!

breakfast: coffee
morning snack: Kellogg's Fiber bar- 160 calories

lunch: Subway sandwich/ wheat/turkey/swiss/honey mustard/onions doubled/tomatoes/lettuce

dinner: a few tortilla chips/salsa/ light beer w/lime

Water...

WOW I really need to eat some before bed, I'll go have some watermelon and cantaloupe right now about 1 cup, that should do it.
Everyone have a great evening.
Hugs
Kim
 
Wow, you have a busy week ahead of you! I hope the insurance stuff goes through, I know you are ready.

I'm so sorry I haven't called back yet, it's been crazy here. I'll try this weekend once everything dies down on your end. Take it easy beautiful!!
 
Hey Amy! yea we spoke to the adjuster Friday he said he asked for maximum benefits to be paid out and we should have it by early next week. THANK GOODNESS! this stress is not doing my body any good.

This week we had unexpected company show up from NY well they gave us just a few days notice, so I had to push other things aside while they are here. I was going to workout this afternoon, but not sure if I'll be able to do that since I have two other appointments today. I'll try maybe I can fit it in this evening, I've never gone to the gym at night.

I'm getting into a challenge with Bell and I'm totally stoked, I need someone to come in and say guess what Kim I've worked out 2 hours today. I need someone to give me that push again, so I'm really stoked about it.

I'm going to purchase another scale today, finally one with some better computer generated numbers. My old scale seemed off, and I wasn't sure if it was actually showing up or low some days, they have so many new ones to choose from now, I just want to get one that will say "hey chubbie" get to the gym, wouldn't that be a great thing to hear just before getting your naked body into the shower in the morning. lOL LOL Would keep you from eating that big breakfast in the morning that's for sure. LOL

Well, I better get busy or I won't be able to get anything done today. And FINALLY nice cool weather today, the 100's have broke and I sat out on my back deck and had coffee this morning I think it was 70 ahhh perfect, now if it will just stick around I'll be in a better mood. :sifone:

Hugs and love to everyone!
