Hi all,
Trigger---When you have the chills, fever and body aches goin' on it's usually a virus and those little buggers hang on for awhile, particularly for we who are older. Wouldn't ya know the kiddo would bounce right back. Rest, rest, rest. You'll know you're feeling better when you're bored from all that rest!
Jaz---The Gyros strips were really good. They are in the deli meats area, in a box. You'll want to get Tzatziki sauce, not Tahini, but that's probably what you meant. Very good on romaine w/banana peppers, sliced onion and kalamata olives.
YAY on your upcoming vacation! So cool you're going w/your son, and you and he share the same laid back ideas about how to vacation. Plus, yeah, what an excellent woe motivational tool.
Most of all though, Lord knows after your last year you deserve some time in the sun and sand, listening to the waves roll in.
Nic---Man, that surgery your husband had sounds SO uncomfortable for reasons we can all fill in w/our imagination.
Loving hear your older son's college plans fall into place with great options. Knew that was going to be the case, but after some disappointments and fears, it sound's like it's all coming together.
K-mom---Are you enjoying this cozy snowy day? Crazy, but I sure am. Better water day. 4/4.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I just noted, got my snowy day. Probably one of the last of the season. Falling out there like in a snow globe, and I've been snuggin' it up all day in front of a nice fire w/my new book.
(Oh, speaking of that
Jaz, go to Amazon, and put in "Dead Letters" you'll get the author's name and a good summary of what it's about. So far, I am quite enjoying it. The writing is tart and observant, and the premise is very interesting.)
I got a great news for a sad reason today. My son is coming in tomorrow, unexpectedly, for the funeral of a pal's sister,
, a pal of his I know quite well. So sad for her. But I will take the silver lining. I can hardly believe it's been almost a year since I've seen him, as we chat all the time. But I've got mama hunger to feel my ever lovin' arms around him! It will be short, but oh so sweet.
Good day on plan. Haven't had a treat night in over 2 months. WILL have one when son is in town.
Getting a teensy bit discouraged. Can't break past that 3 pound loss, even though I feel like I've made a difference in the calories I was eating, plus being on plan 99% of the time, small bites off is all. My body has planted itself at this weight and doesn't want to budge.
Would REALLY like to push that loss up to 5 to 7 pounds, at which point I'd only be halfway to my low, but I'd settle for that happily about now.
SIGH. I know some here know the frustration.
