Happy Memorial Day--WLS Express

I just use the cobbler recipe off the back of the box of Bisquick and instead of sugar I use Splenda. I toss the berries in 1/4 cup of splenda and 2T of water and pour them on top of the batter and cook. I sprinkle the top of the cobbler with a little bit of Splenda and call it a cobbler!

Your loved!

Good morning... Well it's day 3 of my plan and I'm down 2lbs!!  I love seeing new numbers on the scale that I haven't seen in 20years!

Today is going to be a quiet day.  I have a few errands to run then I have a tanning appt.  I also need to stop by and see if the nail salon is open.  I figure they will be as they are even open on Sundays.

Yesterday was a rough day with my mom.  She cried most of the day and spent several hours at the cemetary.  While she was gone I tried to find some information on grief support groups.  Hospice has one tomorrow so I hope she will go.  There are days that having her here are much harder then I thought.  I know things will get better and it's just going to take some time.  She doesn't know anyone here and that's part of the problem too!!!   I feel quilty if I'm not home with her.  Praying that today will be better.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!!!!

I believe I read you are on a 14 day plan.  what is it?

It is a plan my friend and I came up with... it's really just a combination of the 10 day plateau buster and 5DPT with a few tweaks to make it workable for us.

Another good resource is to call the Visiting Nurses Association-they really helped me with resources-other groups, literature, etc-when I was starting up a young widows group 6 years ago because there weren't any in the DFW area for young people. In fact I think they have an online list of local groups in each town-let me look for it and I'll PM it to you if I find it.
I hope things do get better soon. Everyone grieves differently. For me crying in front of people seemed like it was a sign of weakness, and it took me a LONG time to get past that.
Hang in there.
AND- in all of this, don't forget to take care of YOU. You need that too.

Thank you so much!!!!  The St. Edwards link you sent me if very close to our house so I think she is also going to check into that.   She doesn't really want to drive to the medical center of too far south.   So we are looking for something in North Houston (East or West would work too).  Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Wow - what a couch potato kind of weekend at the King household it was.  Races Friday and Saturday night, other than that we pretty much vegged out in front of the TV.

I suppose I should start to think about packing for my flight this afternoon.  Start a project in Harleysville, PA tomorrow morning, so will be flying into Philly this evening.  This client INSISTS we stay in corporate "housing" rather than hotels.  I think they must own the damn apartment complex! LOL  I hadn't been home long Thursday night from shopping to finish up the business casual wardrobe and got an email from the project sponsor "oh yeah, I forgot to tell you our dress code is summer relaxed (i.e., jeans)."  UGH!  Oh well, I bought some cute stuff and by gosh they are just going to have to see it!!

I hear Mr. King stirring about.  He'll be screaming for breakfast any minute.

VETERANS - THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU GIVE OR HAVE GIVEN!!

Good Morning, TMB!!!

It's been a busy weekend.  Got LOTS done around the house - finished all the second coats of paint and touch ups that needed to be done.  I did miss a spot in the kitchen but I can knock that our pretty quick today.  New microwave/vent hood over the stove is fabulous!  All the extra cabinets went back to Home Depot yesterday; living room got rearranged and sconces hung on the wall. 

Today is work on getting the rest of the "stuff" outta the garage and either unpacked or repacked for storing for later!!!   I know I could never have done all I did this weekend 160+ pounds ago!!!!!

Off to take my vits and get some kinda high protein breakfast in and hit the garage.

THANK YOU to all the service men and women!!!  We appreciate what you do for us!!!
