How did everyone do today? Did you get your little 15 minute project done? Did you eat well for breakfast and lunch? What are your dinner plans? How about that exercise, did you all move your little bums? Are you ready for the weekend? Whats on your calendar this weekend? Relax, workout, visit with a friend?

Well my day went good. Did my 1 hour early this morning which really made me feel good and it made me think twice about what I ate. I did several batches of laundry today and my normal bed making. Went to Katie's school and visited with her in the class. Resisted the treats they had sitting on the table......not an easy task. I pulled my sewing box out and I am going to sew some of Katie's Girl Scout badges on. I also ate smart today..........for breakfast I had a bowl of cereal with skim milk. Later around noon I had a WW chocolate smoothie make with skim milk. I just finished a veggie burger with broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, zuchini, and saurkraut. Dinner of us on Fridays is usually chinese food. Tonight I plan on eating just my chicken with broccoli and skipping the won ton soup and the shrimp roll. Miss Katie should be home soon and she has horse back riding at 5:30.

I had a great day. A little biking to get my errands done this morning. Then I had a good lunch ( a homemade turkey wrap) and did some technical editing. Had a small portion of pasta and some skewered shrimp and salad for dinner, along with a small glass of wine. Strawberries with balsamic vinegar for dessert *yum*.

I was getting ready for my shower and caught sight of myself in the long mirror in the bedroom. We've been off in hotels so much for the past month that I haven't really had a chance to look at myself for about a month.

My "double chin" on my butt is gone (no more saggy butt!). And my tummy is finally starting to flatten out. I got out my tape measure and sure enough, my belly is down to the lowest it's been since before the miscarriage two years ago! YAY!!!! 5 inches down from last fall. (Yes, it's my "trouble spot". It's always the *last* area to respond to good diet and exercise and the first to show when I've been slacking off...)

The walking and biking and working out and eating more carefully is *finally* starting to pay off... I was hoping to look sleek in my wedding dress, and I'm finally feeling hope that I'll do just that! But - BOY - it's been a lot of work... seems like it took even longer this time, compared to last time...

TGI....over!

I DID eat well at breakfast and lunch, and I managed to snack well, also. I didn't taste a darned thing, either, but at least I didn't keep eating!

I spoke with my doctor. At least he believed me when I told him I know what looks like an allergy and this definitely does NOT look like that; his nurse is somewhat condescending in tone - I could see her looking over the top of her glasses as she said we really don't like prescribing anything over the phone. I understand that she's protecting me and the practice. But her tone! The doctor went back through my records and noticed similar symptoms from both past telephone complaints and office visits. And since I'm not allergic to any medication that he's prescribed in the past, I got my prescription - I'll be on antibiotics as soon as I walk through the front door this evening.

Sassy, Cussette, Phyllis, Rhonda, Nancy, Patty - thanks for your concern and get wells!

Dinner - not cooking. I'm popping my pill and we're running out to our fave Middle-Eastern place for lamb shish kebab; this awesome salad with green pepper, radishes, lots of parsley and mint, celery seed, lemon juice, olive oil, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and toasted pita strips; and freshly made hummus.

I'm still not going to work out until probably Sunday morning. The coworker who came to my house and walked that 4.5-mile uphill death march with me a couple of weekends ago may be joining me again, weather permitting. So that will be my next planned little-butt moving. Although by then, "little" might be a thing of the past....

Have a good evening!

Congratulations on your hard work and fabulous physical conditioning! Sometimes a look in the mirror isn't the frightening experience we usually think it will be.

And I hadn't seen a bunch of posts for the week until today - hope you're feeling more like yourself than you have been.

When's the wedding?

I've worked in CL most of the day and still have to go back tonight.Got a great weight workout in.Read Deb's post and thought about going for a run.A storm has come up but maybe I'll hit the treadmill for a short workout.Food has been controlled and pretty good today.Realizing , of course, when I say good I'm working off my own personal "keep it low" bar :)

Service guy was out again today.We were working on something in the chicken house which involved me holding up a piece of heavy equipment.Man, the sweating , the heavy breathing!!!You would have thought I was in there with George himself.Then just when I was about to collapse a bunch of dust and dirt came down and covered me in the face.Another day of glamour for the Princess.

Donna, take care.Hope the meds kick in and you feel better soon.

Revanna, great job on the results of your hard work.

Had a good day today. Kept my renewed attitude and spirit up. Tummy is feeling much better. DH and I went out for lunch, although he wanted to stay in ;)...tummy didn't feel THAT good. Had a BLT and a coke (for my upset tummy) and about 4 of his fries. Got all the work done I needed to. Just had dinner...a slice of the best apple/raisin bread you could ever taste...moist, yummy, chunks of apples, sticky glaze on top...dee-lish. Washed it down with a glass of choc soy. Heading to a friend's tonight for a Creative Memories crop...she's been bugging me and bugging me. It's not like I don't have a ton of CM stuff...I do. It's not like I don't have a ton of CM projects...I do. I just don't have the time. So, I'm making the time tonight. Looks like nasty storms are moving in.

Hugs.

Sassy

Thanks.

The wedding is July 24 in Minnesota. And after that, we're flying to Portland, OR for a week-long computer conference. (We're *such* geeks!) Afterward, we're going to the Italian Alps for our honeymoon. Yay - hiking and horseback-riding.

I haven't been posting much lately: I spent 2 weeks in DC, then a week sick with the flu, then a 1/2 week in Oxford, then the past week catching up with not being here since mid-March. Travelling really takes its toll on my scheduling and routines...

It has been a Fab Friday! The work day went quickly and had a very nice card from the bosses with a little gift tucked inside from the boss men. Kept away from all the pastry inundating the office and enjoyed my pizza dinner this evening. I'm gearing up for a wild night of TLC tv and we'll see whether I watch it with open eye open or as so often happens with both eyes shut! Think I'll go shuffle some laundry around now-hope your day was just Fab!
