Hello warriors,

How are you doing today?

Karen.... congrats on DD graduation 👨‍🎓. What an achievement!

Jo... another one bites the dust but you were ready with new bike.

De... glad to see you.

Today is the first day that I feel like I can breathe. Been using that puffer taking my antibiotics and cough medicine. It is finally working. Hoping I will be able to join the family after class at magic kingdom but we will see.
Have a terrific Thursday warriors and take care of yourself!

Does yours have the day listed....like Thursday, 6/8 etc?

It is so true when one is off a real work schedule you truly do forget the days, and pssstt it can't be that I am getting older and really don't care as much what day it is ya know LOL
Yeppers, mine says the day of the week as well so that helps me know what day it is! B/c you're right, when we don't work outside the home, day of the week isn't that overly important!

Hey I like that JO.....10 mins. OMG I can do anything for 10 and of course I would do a tiny bit more without feeling I committed to that full hr on the darn machine and not want to do it. Smart on that one...thanks!
IMHO, any little bit extra we do physically is terrific for our over-all good health! So baby steps, girlie!

nothing big today. kiddo graduated last night. gave her speech and she did very well. got math awards and an art award. Proud momma
That is so great and you have good reason to be PROUD!
Quote:
Hubby THEN wanted to eat out. shoot me ya know. went mexican which is something we NEVER do He got tacos and me and kid got this chicken steak shrimp over rice covered in cheese. I got no rice, cheese to side. It was great! Seasoning was little spicy but doable and not sweet in any way. I dipped a few pieces in ''that cheese'' but not to my liking. So I stayed on plan easily. Would I go out of my way to eat this again....NOPE! It isn't my thing really but ok. Good thing is portions were not huge so I even eating that I didn't compromise myself I know at every place we eat I have to find my LC ways and I did.
Good job staying OP! Yeppers, it's really hard trying to do that in a Mexican eatery since beans, rice and tortillas are a staple to any of their dishes!

simple day....the dreaded usual this and that of my life

Bernie...so glad you posted.....getting worried about you.
WOW you got nailed but so happy the meds are taking effect. You go slow and take care of you!!!!!

JO, yea I had a chip in my hand. those stupid chips came and I watched them eat them and I picked one up. YES IN MY HAND and real fast I said.......stop it. Release. This is NOT what you do and ya ain't going there! So I know I get stronger all the time with my internal chats....hell you have to or ya can't make it long term

it took forever me checking the menu. finally hubby found that one and I knew I could adapt it. but ya know they had buffalo wings in there also and that would have been my default as usual....seems everyone sells them now thank goodness


glad everyone is doing great on the thread, except Bernie now has to get healthier but her meds should kick in now

You did GREAT! And yeppers, just "SAY HELL NO" really is what separates those of us that are successful with those that aren't!

Gosh, I know exactly what you're saying about the internal dialogue with our "FCC"!

Believe it or not, I still have to bitch slap "Fat Jo" sometimes b/c she tries to get a toe into my reality...even now! But I have a boat load of strategies that can keep her in that maintenance cage and do me NO HARM! It's not always easy...

defaulting to chicken wings! That's cool that your DH helped you find that dish! At least he is supportive of your WOE! That's terrific!

JO what summer trouble are ya getting into?


HI ALL
hubby took a rare sick day to work.
bad back.

Went to ER with kiddo for ankle. Not broken. A monster sprain and she is on crutches. Doc says 3-4 days she should walk on it and hopefully good sooner than later with beach trip coming up.

MIL is going to rehab for a few days. transfer today. she is super weak and wants more time just doing nothing so since it is covered she said she is going for it. We will check in on her and see what is doing. Hubby went to her house yesterday and cleaned out fridge etc.

another whatever day will happen. got this and that I have to finish.....I guess we just call it our lives we have to handle LOL

great day warriors!!

Karen: Hope you finally got your pool all chemically balanced for swimming!

at summer trouble! I ain't telling no way José!

Actually Imma just chil-laxing ~ NOT thinking one iota about school (yet) : reading, playing guitar, crocheting afghans so I can use up some of my yarn and buy more! Here's what Imma making, I love making these:

"Mile a Minute Afghans"

Yeah, I like to keep a record of what I make and my DDs always love to "see" what Imma creating! I make 'em and then give them away as gifts.

Sorry to hear about your DH's bad back... and OMG you're DD's ankle! How'd she do that? Glad to hear that it's only a sprained but gees... when it "rains" in sure does "pour" at your house!

Holy Hannah you guys NEVER get a break!

Sorry to hear that your MIL is in rehab but it's great that she realized that she needed more recovery time with professionals, good for her! Hope she recovers quickly! She's only had one surgery and needs the gallbladder removal one too, right?

Imma sure you've started the countdown to your beach get-away! Isn't that starting next weekend?

De: Nice that you're getting a chance to just chil-lax! How's the weather out there?? Here it's been trying to hit the 100s! HOT HOT and more HOT! So of course everything "outdoors" has to been done NLT 11 am... cause it gets to stinkin' hot!

Berni: Safe travels home! I know you'll be glad to be back home. Hope you're finally feeling better!

Kiddo was running with friends and just did the stop, twist ankle very bad, kinda thing only 3 hrs in ER so that was good, could have been worse with ER so I count my blessings on that one.

pool is coming along swimmingly I finally got control back!!!


day getting busy now. kiddo already complaining she is bored Will get out the golf cart and let her drive around the roads and pasture to entertain her....no way she can do pool ladder at all....but let's see if I can get thru this darn day

Morning..

Yesterday was the perfect weather day, but a bit windy. The sun wasnt beaming down. I don't know what today will bring though.

I babysat last night. It was fun, the kids were sweet. DGD is pretty much a non stop talker now! DGS reminds me at times I'm old we went for a walk but they were full speed ahead. Walking is fine, running not so much.

Yesterday ended up not being a chillax day, maybe today. I did yard work since it was not hot out. Weeds needed pulling. Had already mowed the day before.

Ok..back to watching the new season of Orange is the New Black.


Have a great day!
