Good morning DD!!


Get me back on track! What is for breakfast today?

MORNIN!!
I'm thinkin' yogurt with cereal mixed in. I love the thick and creamy yougurt. it has more fat grams, but to me is more satisfying.

How's your day shaping up? Is it school time yet? I can't remember when it starts where....

School starts here one week from tomorrow. I need to start practicing the 6 am PB&J making.... this summer flew by.

Didn't it though? I don't have school kids, but I hate that they have to start so early. In a short time, we will be talking about Halloween and then the "C" word. Seems like once school starts, the days really fly by!

I feel the same way.......back to the early lunch making, get out the door by 7:25, "where's my shoes?","I don't want to get up", "I get the front seat" school year of 2007

Good morning DD!!

hey you biotches:

I'm having vanilla yogurt with fruit and slivered almonds for breakfast as I type. pretty yummy.

DD - you are doing just great - and continue to inspire me. I'm doing well on eating and water, but not in an exercise routine yet. we're planning yoga/pilates tomorrow morning at 8:30. Allifunn and Corky-baby are coming with me.

and jen-ay - I am going to just DIE when school starts next week and I have to get in an early morning routine, but it will help me get in a morning exercise routine. drop the kid off and then off to yoga or biking or gym (if I decide to join) or a work out at home...

Is there a pilates class for the feeble (and feeble minded) around town? That is what I need!

well, of course there is!!! what did you think Cork and I were attending???

[lindatat]

Thanks for thinking of me DD and JR - feeling a lot better today now that the antibiotics have kicked in and I got some rest. Wish I'd realized sooner that there was more going on than just allergies and asthma (always my first inclination JR - but it had been getting steadily worse since the beginning of last week.)

Been catching up on my reading here on Sowal.com - I see Cork made an appearance after a long absence! Keep up the good work Gulls. I'm so out of it, gotta get back to 100% and and back into my routine!

[Miss Kitty]

Get well soon lindabobhat! Summer sick is really no funn!

[Jdarg]

Y'all didn't look too feeble in the yoga pics!

[lindatat]

Thanks Ms. Kitty. Thank goodness I had a refill available on antibiotics at Walgreen's yesterday - didn't even have to wait and call the doctor. I'm feeling better already.

[Cork On the Ocean]

DD, I cannot even believe how good you're doing. Congrats

I totally blew it by eating all of my leftovers from Kurt and Tootsie's last night. The pasta really did me in. Had to eat it all. Couldn't stop -it was sooo delish.
And then was busy all day so no exercise

But will get back on track in AM. Hope we're still on for pilates, Toots and Alli

Lindabob, so sorry you're under the weather sweetie. Hope you get better real soon! My best wishes for a quick recovery.

With all the exercise you get Cork, it doesn't sound like you blew it at all.
Gotta indulge now and then. Life is short

Looks like Lindabob and I are in the antibiotic club.
My goals: less trips to the bathroom due to al lthe water intake

Wow DD - keep it up girl - did you get a new bathing suit yet to show off in Sowal? (My favorite beach fashion accessory - sarongs in lots of pretty colors and patterns to camouflage the thighs that are a work in progress!)

Cork - thanks for the get well wishes. Thought I was doing better til I hacked up half a lung and woke myself up a little while ago. I am just going to have to get down to Sowal in October and join you gulls for Pilates!

Mango - hope you're feeling better too. And for the record, even if I drank less water, I'd still be peeing far more than should be humanly possibly - I think it has more to do with age than fluid intake!

Thanks, linda. The answer to your question would be...uh, no.

[DD]

finally got in some exercise this morning!!! a great pilates class. kicked our butts. glad we went (I almost stayed in bed)... Cork and Allifunn joined in the funn.

[DD]

I made 45 ice cream sundaes and did not even eat one little peanut. hardest thing I've ever had to do!! Daily report later..............

[lindatat]

Thanks, linda. The answer to your question would be...uh, no.

Sorry hon - waking up at 3AM after taking cold medicine was kind of like PUI. I was in a rare mood. For the record I bought a new suit for my trip to Sowal, but I still haven't worn it (a black Speedo tank with mesh insets at the waist and a little purple trim. Don't have a matching sarong for it - LOL!)

[DD]

I hate to admit, but I haven't bought a new suit in several years. I don't wear them enough to wear them out. Ahhhh...I remember the days though, when I had about 10 different ones every year. I could see my toes then.

[DD]

I'm reading your post while eating my very late dinner (kind of a mock lasagna with whole grain macaroni, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, cottage cheese and lowfat mozzarella.)

Hope the cough syrup does the job tonight and lets me get some rest - it's been a long day and I am exhausted!

I hope you get some rest too!! It's such a drag being sick!
Your mock lasagna sounds good. The meatballs were pretty good too. That's all of those for a while. I'm fending for myself tomorrow night since mr. dd will be playing "night golf".

Well I've been forcing myself to exercise and try to get my lungs back in shape - rode the exercycle for 30 mins. while my casserole baked (I don't know that I would serve it to guests, but it worked for me - and plenty of leftovers for lunch tomorrow.) I'm headed up to have dessert with the kids (strawberries and whipped cream!)

Night golf, huh? Does he have balls that glow in the dark? OMG - I can't believe I just typed that - LOL!

No, nothing quite that exotic. He plays until dark and then has a few with the boys....hence...night golf.

[Smiling JOe]

Tonight, I think I will make some Fried Snickers Bars for dinner.

Heck, I didn't even have time to post my daily goals today much less eat anything of any substance. I'm pooped! Hey, SJ, will ya fry me a Snickers?

[Cork On the Ocean]

Have gotten an hour bike ride in every day this week. Yeah!!!! I need a little calendar to check off every day. Also, ordered nutrisystem food which came yesterday. Tastes like crap but makes my life easy

You go girl! Food can't look any worse than my my healthy mock lasagna (which actually tastes pretty good - just looks like hell.)

I learned how to use a very fancy machine at the YMCA tonight (which looks kind of like a torture device to me - right down to the leather strap you put around your ankle.) I'm not so sure about using it on a regular basis, though.

So you started exercising too, huh? Tootsie's thread has got us all motivated.

[DD]

Cork: Yippee for you!! Good girl!! Maybe we can get in a ride while I'm there!!

Linda: Sounds like you're feeling better...I'm glad.

My day:

Breakfast: Business breakfast, fruit, top of a mini banana nut muffin.
Lunch: Asian grilled chicken salad from McDonalds. Actually the salad wasn't bad, had the low fat sesame ginger dressing which was very spicy. Just hate McDonalds!
Dinner: Turkey sandwich on wheat with no fat vinagrette. Nectarine. No fat chips.
Water: Probably about 1 1/2 qts.

Walk: Tried to walk Maggie, but some male boxer on the loose came running up, and just about tripped me and just generally pissed Maggie off and so I went to the house where he came from and they said he'd been hanging around for a couple of days. Had tried to call the owner on the tags, but message said she was out of town. Anyhoo, Maggie and I didn't (couldn't ) get very far because this dog was just annoying. Felt bad for it, but
Now, how's that for an excuse not to exercise?

That's why I will have to stay there once I get there. Can't afford the gas both ways!!

Yes, Another full timer That's our plan.

Yes, Another full timer That's our plan.

That's been my plan for a long time....just so many logistics to work out! But, I figure I can use the "no money for gas" thing to get started....

[Cork On the Ocean]

But then again there's always the argument that if you can't afford gas, how ya gonna get a place on 30A? Uh Oh. Looks like cork's Flophouse for you
