Good Morning everyone!

Susan I got a message to call my drs office so I have to do that after their lunch break. Here we go again....LOL I have told so many people the same thing and it seems none of them understand it is getting so old. But I must keep calling to get this done. Nothing really new going on here though other then I had a bad time with my diet over the weekend. My oldest sons birthday was saturday so we had cake and ice cream. I did not do to bad but I could have definately done better. I really don't want to weigh in this week....LOL

How is everyone else doing this wonderful Monday?

Well I went ahead and weighed in and I lost 2 more pounds. So I have Lost 5 lbs now in the last 2 -3 weeks. Mostly 2 the first week was just kinda watching what I was eating to ease myself into it I guess. I also have been doing a fair amount of exercise at least 30 minutes of exercise and then doing some weight training as well.

Suzy

You're in a new set of numbers Susan.  You should be very proud of your success.

Jan, my clouds were total duds.  They are made with egg whites, Splenda and cream of tartar.  I used 2 real egg whites and 1 serving from a box of egg whites.  Apparently, the boxed kind doesn't whip into stiff peaks.  This is the 3rd Clouds recipe I've tried.  The first one was pretty good except  they stuck to the pan even though I sprayed with Pam.  They were kind of like bread and tasted very good, just broke up easily.  The second recipe was really awful.  The ones yesterday were more like a dessert merinque, not good for a burger bun at all.  I'm going to try again with the first recipe and use a pan with sides and foil lined.  The burger was very good without a bun.

We ate on the deck last night and it was so peaceful and our backyard is so pretty now.  Sure wish this weather would continue but I'm sure it will end soon.

When I came in to work this morning, there was a possum at the door of my office building.  This is in downtown Kansas City.  Scary looking thing.  I waited until it ran the other way before approaching the door.  I see some strange things DT but never saw a possum before.

I set up an appointment with the trainer at the gym to get my key and instructions.  Hope I don't have to get weighed and measured for the program.  I'm really going to try to lose 25 lbs. before my January appointment with the doctor.

The Spiced Apples were delicious.  I will post the recipe, very easy.  For lunch I had a small burger, 1/2 cup spiced apples and SF Jello and I was so full. 

I need to get back to work.  Only have about 45 minutes left.

Just thought I would pop in again and say hi...

I got up this morning and set out on a 9.6 mile walk.... I have been wanting to do it for some time and decided today was the day as I didn't know how much longer this wonderful cool weather would last....

As usual the two pooches walked with me and boy oh boy was they pooped when we finally got back home!  So was I ... but I felt like I did pretty good for as far as it was... I took water, a protein bar, a few pieces of candy in case my blood sugar bottomed out and a cell phone.  I bandaged all my blisters up real good and took a dose of pain meds  before I left... it took me 3:15 minutes to do the full circle.  Then I walked another 4 miles tonight... for a total of 13.6 miles today!  That's a personal best I think?  I have rode alot further on my bike but I think that's about as far as I've walked in one day?

Needless to say I fell asleep when I got home! ~tee hee

Then I got busy and sanded the neighbors "bootie" signes... she has two of those big rear end signs that looks like a lady stooping over... I painted one an electric blue with light blue spots and the other one hot pink with light pink spots... they for sure will show up now... the sun had faded them and the paint was peeling.  They are right fancy now! ~ha  Will put some lace at the end of the panties before I'm done.

Then I repaired my flags and got them back on the pole... I had been going to do that for a couple of months and just did not get it done... so it has been a productive day for me I guess.  I will finish up the paint job tomorrow and then I need to do some paper work.  Always something for sure.

Paul said he just heard on the news that we are to have a high of only 70 degrees tomorrow... I should take myself outside and do something for sure but then I think they are calling for rain as well...

Better get on to bed as 4:30 come around real quick!

Bec

wow Bec you did almost 10 miles in 3 minutes???? really or is that a typo...you were running at a pretty fast clip werent you?
 do the girls not get up and walk with you? take it easy out there so you dont fall or something. ok' take care.

Tee Hee leave it to me... it was three hours and 15 minutes.

But I have tried running a couple of times and boy did I pay for it even with pain meds my back hurt something fierce!  It doesn't take much of that to put me back in my place! ~ha

No the girls do not walk with me as a rule...one does aerobic videos the other one rides her bike. None of us walk at the same pace to get the most good so we all do our own thing.  Oh once in a while they will go with me but most of the time I'm on my own with the pooches.

That was funny you said don't fall ... I did just that yesterday... my ankle went sideways and right down I went. I was sure glad I didn't hurt my self.

I will not be walking that far today... back to my 4 miles in the morning and 4 in the evening.  I just had this one particular route I wanted to do once to see how I would handle it.  That's way too far to do every day.  My legs have enough muscle in them already.  I wish I could get the "middle" of me in as good a shape.  I've gaining upper strength and lower strength it's that tummy that I have trouble with.  My back limits me so much ... but I have been working on that a little at a time.

Well I better get on out there before the rain picks back up and chop chop.

Sorry for the typo... I just can't be trusted~ ~tee hee
