~*~Happy Hump Day ~*~

Good morning-
I was going to say "wooly worm Wednesday" but unless saw Lori and Patty's post, no one would know what the heck I'm talking about.

Ok, already made a quick trip to CL.Have to take DH to next town to get a rental.Back to CL to get more work done and then off to lunch with friends.Somewhere today I hope to get at least weights done and maybe a powerwalk.It's pouring here right now.
I got a good email today about holiday expectations.Talked about is it realistic to expect to lose weight during the holidays or to say you're not going to have any of your favorite foods.I don't think saying you're not going to have any of your favorite foods is. I think there should be balance and also we need to keep food in it's place.If we say we can't have any pie ever we've kind of placed food in a position of great power.I'm trying to go with the idea that I can have moderate amounts but have to keep in mind I may have to have less of other things or put more time and effort into exercise.Ok, there are my pearls of wisdom for today.
Hope everyone has a Happy Hump Day!!!!And hope you guys with colds are feeling better.

The plan was to get up and get my workout done first thing this morning...well that didn't happen. I'm really in a slump in so many different ways and I've really got to snap out of it.
Today is the trip to the neurologist and will see what he has to say.
Other than that nothing much going on in this neck of the woods besides the gloomy rainy day outside. Still working on that laundry in the dryer and now a new adventure of getting the dishes out of the dishwasher!
Hope your hump day is indeed happy with or without wooly worms!

Cold has really settled into my chest. Bleck. However, my follow-up doctor's appointment is this morning so I'll talk to her about the cold thing, too. Youngest DS, who's prone to asthma when he picks up a bug, is really coughing and hacking, too. Will have to keep an eye on that, but he IS going to school today!
So after my dr. appointment, I'll be heading into the office for the day.
I can't wait for Thursday and I have to post a thankful right now. DH and I have really been "as one" lately (the way a marriage is supposed to be) but we have been on opposite sides as to how to handle some things with our DD. Yesterday we had to make some difficult decisions about the situation and I could feel DH completely shutting down and off about it and I had to sit in the office quietly praying and having faith that he would come around to what the rest of us knew was the problem and solution. And he did. He asked his questions, aired his concerns and suddenly and completely agreed that we had to go forward. Being the intelligent wife I am, I left him alone about it. He worked out in the front flower garden the entire afternoon until dark...therapy for him...and when I brought it up last night to confirm that I would be making some calls this morning, he didn't hesitate with his go ahead. I am so thankful and feel such relief. God's hand in all this boggles the mind. To be battling about this for 5 years and then suddenly he sees it all in a new light...
I'm just thankful.
No workout for me today. Cold and doctor's appointment and all. Hope to get back into the workouts as soon as the cold clears out.
Love you guys. I'm thankful for you all, too!

So anyway, today is wednesday, a little babysitting after work and a stop to catch a Jazzercise class before I head home tonight. Doubt I'll be at chat. DH is permanently attached to the computer at the wrist. I'm thinking of having that mouse surgically removed. Maybe I can get a nice nut basket for it.
My cold is still hanging in there. I feel it working its way down to my chest. Maybe I'll spend a little time standing on my head tonight and see if that helps keep it out of my chest. I'm not optimistic, but at this point, I'll try just about anything.
Have a great day.

Anyway, I was bad, very bad last night. My DH is a grump, and was not nice last night. So, after he went to bed I ate 2 Hostess donuts. That is huge for me. I snitch every now and again, but 2 is super bad. I'm also fighting off a cold which has made me very tired and I just didn't feel like dealing with Mr. Grump.
I'm trying to figure out my emotional eating connection to those donuts. Was I feeling sorry for myself, I don't think so. It might have been that I was punishing myself for not making DH happy, and continuing on with his punishment. Oh, he snaps at me for just about everything, and I work very hard at not talking to him about anything in my life, or DD's life, it just aggitates him. That must be why I feel that I talk way too much here and with a couple of my friends. I don't mean to monopolize the conversation with my complaints, and I am very afraid that people get tired of listening to me. But with no one to talk to at home, it just comes out. My sweet DD is only 10 and I try hard not to dump my woes on her, she is very happy-go-lucky and I'd like her to stay that way.
So, why did Chipper eat the donuts?????
Had a very relaxing day off Tuesday; got lots of stuff done around the house, caught up on reading for a little while, and got all the entries in the checkbook straightened out. Ordered a mattress pad from Land's End - couldn't find any queen sizes in the local discount places, but all the other sizes were represented, so at least I'll be able to get a second one to put away for future use when new stock arrives.
Gotta do's today are catch up with all the messages, do a complete workout, and cook the swordfish that is nearly defronsted in the fridge for dinner tonight. Also contact some of the local disposal businesses and see what it will cost us for a mid-sized dumpster and junk hauling before the snow flies.
Catchall replies to the posts I have read (long):
Susan - You inspired me to get a new stove. It looks like Darth Vader, and it sounds as solid as old Gertie in the kitchen right now. I kicked the tires, slammed the doors, and knocked on the top, front, and sides, and it sounds heavy, not like tin. You sure do pay a premium for self-cleaning, but it'll be worth it to have a clean stove all the time instead of when the mood strikes me to use some elbow grease. Don't have a delivery date yet - if it gets here before Thanksgiving, fine; if not, fine - I need a tutor to figure out the instructions, so I actually hope it doesn't come until after.
Phyllis - Congratulations on your book deal and good luck with your new business idea. You are so creative; your determination to follow through on things amazes me. And thanks a LOT (really) for that awesome recipe. I'm trying to figure out exactly which road you are "leading" us down - the one to fitness, or to ruin. But what a way to go!
Patty - I'm glad to hear your men are ok after the deer creamed the truck, and after that long wait for help. It was really considerate of your dad to go out after them.
Sassy - I hope you feel better soon. Lori - Ditto. Those colds sound nasty, and I hope they don't linger into Thanksgiving. Maybe a slice of Phyllis's pie would help?
Grace - WTG on your WW weigh-in. And you thought your eating and recent inactivity were going to be setbacks. Good luck with your restarted workouts - take care of that foot, though.
Cussette - You look terrific in that race picture. And you did a nice job on Allison's cake. When do you open up shop?
Rhonda - Thanks for your kind words about me and SBD. The results and encouragement make it easy to stick with. And it's obvious that the activities you participated in last week give you satisfaction and pride.
Nancy - You do work full-time, it's just different from going out to a jobplace daily. You have visitors dropping by that you obviously take good care of, you have the farm business, and you have your job in town. Your mind is going at the pace of full-time even if you don't feel your body is.
If I've missed anyone, it's not intentional; just need to catch up. Have a great day; be healthy, happy, and productive!
