Whew! It's like a tornado around here. Dan just rushed out the door. J has her AP Stats test today, and she's a bundle of activity - studying, worrying, prepping, panicking..... I'm in charge on keeping her calm and helping her remember things like vending machine money, sharpened pencils, and calculator batteries.
After I drop J at her test, I'm going to go shopping for Mother's Day stuff. As usual, I let Mother's Day sneak up on me. I swear it feels like one day it's winter, and then it's Mother's Day. LOL I also want to get some exercise in today. It's a new week, and I'm thinking I'd like to manage more than one day of exercise.
And let us not forget that today is Loseday! Hmmmm, what should I lose? Well, I think I answered my own question in the last paragraph. I've got to lose my tendency to do mindless sitting-down things (TV, games, web surfing) when I'm stressed, and start getting up off my fanny and moving!
What are your plans for today, Buddies? I hope you have a light-hearted and lovely Loseday!
((((HUGS)))) - Karen











Wow it is really slow around here today. Wonder where everyone is?
I hope everything went well for J today. How has your day gone Karen? Did you get your mothers day things done? I know what you mean about it sneaking up on you. I feel the exact same way. I had to ask my mom if she wanted a hanging plant or a rose this year. Before her and my dad moved back down here to Scottsburg I got her a rose every year for the rose garden. But down here she never started a garden so I didnt know if she wanted to start another one. Of course she wants a hanging basket. She said she just didnt want to mess with making another garden. So did you lose the things you wanted to today?
OK so as for my day, I went to work at 9 for an appointment than had lunch with Mike than went back to work had another appointment and left work at 2. I needed to clean the house before the family come over. So now I need to do some laundry and the supper dishes. I think my Loseday has gone pretty well. I have done well losing my appetite. I have eaten very proportioned meals and have not done any snacking. Now I am just going to try and keep that up tomorrow. I am also going to start getting my exercise in. I have made a promise to myself to be close to the size I want to be by my anniversary. I would really hate to let myself down.
I think I lost my train of thought on this lose day lol. It has been non stop with me. Work is crazy right now, the off season is always my dept's on season and sometimes it feels like we never get an off season....maybe that one week in christmas...but only because no one is around they all did the smart thing and took off and left the work to someone else lol.
Whew...!
The phantoms are leaving us *cries* Its so sad to see them leave. Luckily we've found jobs for a good number or other have found their own opportunity. But a few are just leaving and its really sad to see them cleaning house.
On top of that my physically have been feeling crappitty crap crap. I was on a anitbiodic for the cat bite i got so its been really affecting my body. and of course AF is on the way to make her visit...and its making me want chocolate even more....such bad timing
On a good note...I've been sticking to a somewhat steady diet and going on walks at night with Bill.
Alright enough of my ranting...take care buddies!

Hello!
You sound busy as usual! I hope J's exam went well and that you found good stuff for Mother's Day.
How did your Loseday go? Any exercise instead of mindless stuff? That's an issue for me, for sure. The couch and tv beckon when I get home from work!
I want to lose my self-defeating behaviors. I guess I'm taking baby steps.
If my ticker doesn't show up, that's because I'm trying to change it. My mom's 65th bday is mid June and we're having a little family reunion for her in Chicago. So I changed my ticker to a 10 lb weight loss goal. Maybe that will be more manageable psychologically.
I also added a picture but don't think it's showing up.
Regarding your May Day gardening question, DH and I wound up going out that day and getting a bird bath! Since I don't have a green thumb that was a very easy start for me!
Hope you had a good day!
