It's Friday What Are Your Plans for the Weekend?

First of all, let us all remember Susan and her family this weekend. Secondly, it's like pulling teeth getting you guys to post these days! The weather here is fantastic. I hope it is where you are too! I'm keeping up ith my calories, protein, etc. but I don't like it! How are you doing on tracking? Tonight my calorie budget will likely be blown because we are going to the Greek Festival. We've decided to share an entree but I'm thinking hubby will end up ordering more than one! We'll see! From there we are going to the symphony. A couple of times a year the Va. Symphony gives free outdoor concerts. I might have told you that just before the last one was over, rain poured down that sent thousands of people running toward parking garages with lawn chairs covering their heads! Boy were we soaked! There's no rain predicted for tonight! After the symphony, we'll run home to change and then head for the Relay For Life. A trainer I've known for 8 years or more has non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She is such a trooper and still pushes herself in the gym. She is stage 4. Next month she will get a bone marrow transplant from her twni sister. Thank God she has one. In fact, 5 years ago my friend had a dream that her sister was going to have to save her life and now she will. The rest of the weekend I'm planning to eat very healthy to undo any damage I may cause tonight! I'm going to have some Moussaka and Spannikopita! I hope to get in a couple of bike rides and walks too! Tell me what you re planning this weekend and how you will keep your calories in check! Have a great one! CeCe

Oh CeCe, you and Hank have so much fun. I really miss Randy. He flew home last weekend, but is gone again this week and weekend. He hates being away and I hate being without him. I really don't have anything going on this weekend. I think my daughter and grandsons are coming over to swim tomorrow. That's about it. Hope you all have a great weekend! Wanda

Wanda, At least Hank's trips are during the week! He was in Ohio last week and leaves Tuesday for Oklahoma but he's home on the weekends. That must suck not having Randy home on the weekends. The weather was wonderful for the Greek Festival, outdoor symphony and the Relay for Life last night. I enjoyed my Greek food and was full but didn't overeat. Thankfully, I walked over 5 miles at the Relay and we left there at midnight. It was very sobering walking along that path looking a the names of the victims and survivors of cancer along the track. Today my plan is to eat healthy since weekends are so much harder for me to stay on track. I'll get some exercise. I'm debating whether or not to call my friend and walk this morning or take my bike out on the trails. Ok, everyone, let commit to having a good weekend! Get some exercise and make good choices!

It's been a full weekend here for us..... Our town had Art in the Park this weekend... Lots of craft vendors and fun for the kids... We did lots of walking got lots of used books for the kids and made three trips up to the park... We live close enough that we just walk, so that made for some extra steps for me this week... wooo hooo... The down part of my weekend was my son leaving.... His two week leave is up and he had to head back to Louisiana... I don't know if I will get another chance to see him in August before he ships off to Iraq... My mom and I are planning on going down there with the kids to see him, his wife and the new baby, but with the way gas prices are going, I don't know if it will happen.... I was so sad when he left and I cried my eyes out.... I just hope I get to see him at least one more time before he ships out.... It has been a busy couple of weeks around and now I need to get my head back in the game and get myself back on track... Now that almost all the fudge is gone, the other munchies that I had in the house for my son are gone and my visitors are gone, hopefully it will make it a bit easier to get re-focused.... Wish me luck this week.... Hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!! HUGS to ALL, Shawn M.
