Monday- back to the old grind- WLS Express

Morning! Its Monday-what is going on this week for you? How are your New Year's resolutions going so far? All Aboard!

Good morning! Part of me wants another day off but part of me is ready to get back to normal-whatever normal is. lol. I worked last week but it still was off because it was so quiet. I have a feeling today will NOT be quiet because my consumers have been waiting to call me, thinking I was probably off for the holiday. College starts in 2 weeks as well so that means all of my students will be clamoring to get their book voucher to get ready.

Well we didn't get anything done yesterday that we'd planned because Bryan had to go into work around 10am but when he went out to start his truck it wouldn't start. He jumped it and it still wouldn't start. So his dad came over and they worked all day and still don't know for sure what it is. They're thinking it needs a new starter. So his truck is out of commission until they can get it taken care of. He is borrowing a car from his parents-thankfully they have one. Now if a magic car genie would come and fix it. lol. He's been looking at new cars anyway given the age and mileage of his truck so perhaps it is the right time to do this.

Hope everyone has a great day. Prayers for all in need-Meggie and Eric and their families.

Take care!

No resolutions here, just promises to myself. And I'm doing good.

Since Mondays are horrible for me I'velearned not to plan anything for Mondays, especially if it involves any effort on my part! The water aerobic classes ate at 5:30p on Mon. and Wed. so I'll try to get there Monday evening but not counting on making them all. Because of that I go to the pool when I can and do the exercises I can remember. Beast and I went yesterday and spent an hour in the pool. I think it surprised him how strenuous most of the exercises are, he wants to start going with me! I've also been walking at the school next door, their concrete driveway is perfect and you can't beat the convenience. Of course, like everyone this time of year, I'm gung ho to get the exercise thing going but I do plan to still be doing it after Valentines...the time I usually give out!

I downloaded a free App to my Droid phone yesterday that works as a pedometer and route tracking thing. I'll test it out today. Someone said you can do the same thing with Google maps but I haven't figured out how yet. Anyway this Cardiac Trainer 'says' it will work like those Body Bugg type things by keeping up with calories burned and all that.....so we'll see

Ooooh.  I LOVE gadgets.  You'll have to report back and let us know how the Droid thingy works and if you like it or not. 

Good Morning Train!

I'm up and at 'em as usual this morning, did 9 miles on the recumbent bike and called it done in the gym, lol 
I don't do resolutions any more... sometimes I feel like I'm doing good to make it from one year to the next without tempting fate... LOL  We had a great time at the Cotton Bowl... the new Cowboys' Stadium was most impressive and the cost of everything was too... LOL 

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

Now it's flashback time!  Put on your finest disco gear, step under that mirrored ball and let's dance to Dee-Lite's Groove Is In The Heart!

We're going to dance,
We're going to dance,
We're going to dance
And have some fun

The chills that you
Spill up my back
Keep me filled with
Satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
(I) I couldn't ask for another (I-I-I-I-I I)
No I couldn't ask for another
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls only the bridge
My supperdish, my succotash wish (Sing it baby)
(I) I couldn't ask for another (Uh-huh uh-huh) (I-I-I-I-I I)
No I couldn't ask for another

Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah

The depth the hula groove
Move us to the nth hoop
We goin' through to Horten
Hears a who-ooh
(I) I couldn't ask for another (I-I-I-I-I I)
No couldn't ask for another
DJ Soul (soul) was on a roll
I've been told he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
(I) I couldn't ask for another (Sing it)

Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah (Ne-na-na-na-na)
Groove is in the heart (Ne-na-na-na-na)
Groove is in the heart (Ne-na-na-na-na)
Groove is in the heart-ah-ah-ah

Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah-ah (yeah)
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Ah-ah-ah

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Great song! That's a great song to work out to as well!

I have said it before, but I am not a Cowboy fan.  But going to that stadium, I have to say Jerry did something right.  My only problem is the Jumbotron is too Jumbo.  It  sometimes takes away from watching the action on the field, in which case, you might as well stay home and watch it on TV (and not pay the concession prices).

Monday, Monday.  Back to the old grind.  I hope that everything is normal at work.  I hear they are going to start walking people out again.  Who knows.  I'm just going to go with the flow.  If I get walked out because of my injury, then I get walked out.  I can't help it.  I've had three back surgeries and there is nothing I can do about it.  Some equal opportunity employer, huh?!  Oh well.

We didn't do much this weekend.  Rented some movies and watched them.  Ate a huge dinner on New Years Day.  I gotta say, when my sister and I put our minds to it, we can cook some good food!  Home made black eyed peas, cornish game hen, wild rice, greens and cornbread!  Um, um um!!!  I ate too much, but what else is new!  It was mondo good!!

Guess I'd better get into the shower and get to work!  Y'all have a great day!  Love ya!

Good Morning Alissa and the rest of my TMB Family,

So glad that today is back to school day for Eric.  He so needs to get back to it.  Getting him up was not as hard as I had thought it would be.  I told myself I would start the back to basic's today and I am going to try.  I dont have very good will power wich is one of the reasons I opted for WLS.  I dont eat any kind of sugar, but the carbs love me and I love the carbs.  I should get the results from my blood work done a couple of weeks ago today.  Will be anxious to see what it is like.  I also got my refurals for all the different doctors.  Made an appt with the Gastro doctor.  Tummy has not felt all that great these last few weeks.  Need to make an appt with the Pain Management doctor.  Legs, hip and lower back are really hurting these days.  Ok those are all my aches and pains for today.  I feel like all I do is complaine!  Sorry.  Today is going to be a Me day, starting with a work out on my WII +.  Have not tried it yet so should be interesting.  Then I need to clean out the cabinets but may do that over the next couple of days.  Just going to do things to keep me busy, so food does not enter the brain thoughts all day.  You all that have to go back to work today, have fun.  Please stay warm.  it's 24 here with a wind chill of about 12.  To darn cold.  Prayers this morning, for Meggie.  I so know exactly what she is going through with all that pain.  I am convinced it is something we will just have to deal with.  Thank God for my Bentyl.  Prayers also for Jenny and Eric, Liz as she looks for work, all the Moms as they get their kids ready to go back to school this morning, and all our school people as they get ready to deal with a bunch of kids that try to adjust back to school.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys

 

something that helps me when I am trying to break a bad eating cycle - eat by the timer/clock and remember it won't hurt you to feel hungry - as long as you are eating small often meals to keep bloodsugar normal at least  - most of hunger is habit - break the habit - feel the hunger for a few days and then it is easyer

that's my 2 cents today - reminding you as well as me
