Weekend ahead..........

My apologies for not being around much lately! I've been trying to keep up on things.. just not working out as great as I want. Some things are slacking... like my blogging.. emails... etc.
With tending to Michael... running the boys around to practices... track meets... and games... I'm trying to find time in there to crochet and get commitments I've made, done.
I havent weighed myself this week... not really sure why... other than pounding headache... and not feeling like it. I'm feeling okay though... dont think I have gained or lost. I havent been real good the last couple of days with my water.... but I know I have been drinking more coffee.... need to change that... need to get back on the water... get some perk back in my step.
My little man Michael wanted pizza the night before last... like a Pizza Hut pizza. But I can tell you right now... the sodium in that is crazy... so I suggested that I make homemade mini pizzas for dinner last night ... and he agreed to that. Well.. he was more than thrilled that he passed on the Pizza Hut pizza and held out for mommy's mini pizzas. He loved them! Ate 4. I was able to buy ingredients to control the sodium and keep the flavor. Everyone else thought they were great too. *whew*
Not sure whats for dinner tonight... maybe burgers on the grill. Not sure.
Anyway... need to run... need to get back to trying to catch up on things.

oh...btw ... Ms Sissie............. dont worry about that 2 lb gain. Its not a big deal at all. You're body is adjusting... get out the water and just surge forward with today and today only.
I'm going to IM or email you all day and remind you to drink your water. SO THERE!

Hugs and love to you all.........
God Bless,

Sissie

I usually drink herbal teas. And I do put regular sugar in it. Usually half a teaspoon. And sometimes drink without sugar. I have heard that the diet sugar is not very good to use every day. I usually drink one cup in the morning time and one in the evening. When I lived in Thoiry I made tea out of herbs we had in the garden. In Estonia we used to go and pick herbs and dry them for tea. When we lived in the states I used to go to the russian stores. They usually have a big variety of herbal teas. I also like earl grey tea and chai.

Why John Walks Every morning:))

Ok Tammy here is my story behind why John walks every morning!

as most of you know John works on a Hours ranch. he oversees the owners home and the horses are his hobby! He has 14 as of yesterday morning 15 and hopefully this morning 16 (the babies are oh so cute) anyway part of John's job is in the morning when he gets there he always eats them. then he would get on to his other work, well now as of 2 months ago he now has to talk the horse out to their pens cause the girl that was doing that quit! LORD you should have see John that first week! he could not breath or hardly walk by the time he was done! I felt so sorry for him. BUT now I am seeing his pase has picked up and he is not breathing hard now! I show this to him last week. It is funny cause he always walks on this job and every time he went to the dr when she would ask him about exercise that is what he told her. I told him this pass week yes now this is exerice!! LOL and a plus also, he has loss 10 pounds just doing this each morning!
I DONOT help walk the horse. I like something between them and me cause they are bigger then me!! But I do sit there in my truck till John is done to make sure he is ok cause noone else is out there. plus I get to crochet while watching him:)
But i have decided that I will start walking with him. I Know that I can not keep up with his pase but I will start:))

Here is a look at the horses if you want to see them:))

is your tea also with No sugar? and decaf? I use to drink sweet tea all the time but it was a gallon a day! I do like crystal Lite in my water, have you tried that?

I gave up a diet soda not the regular one.I never drink regular one. It says it has 0 calories but I do feel a bit better if I don't drink it too much. I used to drink it a lot before.Now I drink water or tea or juice.

Week #1 Day # 5

Mel sounds like you had a great Easter day with your family and also sounds tiring!! I am happy to hear that with all this food around you did good! NOW I would not call running "nothing much"!! as that is one thing I never could do!! so way to go on your morning jog:)

Kairi WAY TO GO ON YOUR ONE POUND LOSS!! and good luck with giving up your soda! was this reg soda or diet? I have been drinking decaf Diet coke for year now and do not think I won't to give it up! NONE!! i read somewhere that just by giving up reg soda you could drop up to 24 pounds in a year! I think that number is right.

Tammy Glad to see your Easter Sunday went good also. and how is little Micheal feeling now? much better I do pray!

everyone else I hope your week is going good so far!

Me I am doing but am not keeping up with my goal to drink 48 oz's of water every day this week:( I did on friday and then sat and sun almost none! (why is it so hard to stay on the wagon on the weekends?) yesterday I did get 32 oz's in and today I am not working on my second bottle now. so with luck I will get all my water in today:) sorry I didn't make it back on last night to tell you about Johns walking but I will tell you all about it this evening when I report back in. I think I am either coming down with a real bad head cold or hey fever one!! either way I am feeling awful:(
