Thursday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I am so glad it's almost Friday.

I have been working out everyday.  I am hoping to make this a habit, a regular part of my day.  I do notice that I sleep better at night now that I'm working out.  I am a little sore but that's ok.   

Tomorrow I am going to Whole Foods.  I love that store and there's one in Naperville not so far from me.  I bought some roast beef from them and it was really tasty.  I ran out  of roast beef Tuesday and ran out to Dominicks to get enough to last me through Friday.  Well I hate the way it tasted (I just had a cheese sandwich).  The Whole Foods roast beef  tastes so much better and it's anti-biotic, hormone, and nitrate free....so it's better for me too.  Ya so Whole Foods has ruined all other roast beef for me.  

Well I hope everyone has a great day.  

 

Good Morning Crystal and all of Illinois,

I love Whole Foods too. I usually go to the one in Bloomington if I am down at Monicas, or the one in Geneva if I am up in that area.
Today, I am going to Krogers and then to get gas for the car. Nothing exciting.

No plans for the weekend. Its back to normal. DH has to work both days.

One good thing about the sun and heat, my tan is coming along nicely. The bad thing is, the humidity is so high, I haven't been able to walk as much.

Stay safe, keep hydrated.

Huggers,
Lisa

Wait.. there is  a Whole Foods in Bloomington somewhere?!  I know we have a Fresh Market but if there is a Whole Foods down here and I didn't know about it I am going to be a little upset!  I love Whole Foods!  Another good thing about getting in some sun is all the Vitamin D!

I checked Wholefoods.com and did not find a store in your area. There is a Fresh Market in Normal which might be close to you depending on where you are in the Bloomington/Normal area.

edited to add that there is a Fresh Market in Normal. Are the stores similar or the same company?

Yes, Vit D is made in our bodies when you expose your bare skin (minus sun screen) to the sun for at least 15-20 minutes. Many people think that the sun "gives" you the Vit D and that is incorrect. Your skin makes the vitamin after exposure to the sun.

Thanks for checking on that- I didn't think there was a Whole Foods here but I sure love going to Fresh Market!

Also, thanks for clarifying the process in which the sun boosts Vitamin D.  I think that will help a lot of people to understand the process better!

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

Crystal, keep up the great work!  It takes 6 weeks to make something a habit.  Hang in there.  You really DO feel better and I am sure you will see results, even if it is in the way your clothes fit.

I agree, glad that this week is almost over, even though I have a TON of things to get done.  My niece/god-daughter is getting married Saturday and I am putting together a recipe box for her.  (I doubt that surprises any of you.)  I had asked 30-35 friends and family to each submit 1-3 recipes for her, but I got about 6 responses.  One of which just copied pages/recipes out of a cookbook.  Oh well, we all know that I have plenty.  It was just the idea that she have stuff from ALL their friends and family........

Besides that, I am working today in between.  I also need to run a few errands and find time to weed my gardens and lay some mulch.  Busy, busy!

I wish everyone a spectacular day!

I *love* your idea for the recipe box!  That's disappointing only 6 people responded but I am sure you will put together an awesome gift.

Today is the beginning of Itasca Fest with Family Night for the village employees. We are treated to dinner and drinks. If one has kids under 21 then they get unlimited rides on the carnival rides in addition to their food.

Hopefully it will not be too humid. The officers usually have a love/hate relationship with the fest. They love the overtime but hate the heat. We love the socializing with past employees, neighbors, people I have known since I was a kid and family.

Yesterday I went to the pool for the first time since school got out for DD. Felt good. I'm working on as many visits as possible before surgery. Might give myself a present for every 5 visits. Headded out to more appts today will be back later.

Congrats on working out every day!  I admit I have only made it to the gym twice this week so far so shame on me.  I love stores like Whole Foods and Fresh Market!  Everything there is so yummy!  Do you know what brand of Roast Beef that is or is it like a While Foods brand?  You make it sound so tasty!
