Good Morning

Good Morning Val & All, So nice to see you here on the boards. Yep it is hard to maintain the liquid levels just gotta have my Dunkin Donuts Turbo Iced every day!!! I try to remember the water as well. Have a nice day everyone.

Rita Good Morning, Know what you mean, this water thing was so easy when we first started, just trying to remember when I got so laxed.......

Hey Toots!! I'm here but don't know how long. We have stuff to move from the basement today to continue with our packing. Trying to get a little done each day so it won't be too overwhelming when the big move comes. I have a hard time waiting the 30 minutes to take drinks. I just get too damn thirsty if I wait. I do drink a lot of diet sodas now. Even though I do, I stick to diet, caffeine free when I don't need the caffeine to help me stay alert. Hey, we do what we gotta do!! You have a good day and enjoy your new home...Cap'n K-Man

Fruit of the Loom, Good morning to you!!!!!!!! Oh i know those diet vanilla cokes are my big down fall... But am going to try and stay away from them today, and stick to some water, if I make it I might even put a star on the calander..... lol.... Oh boy you should have seen my kitchen in the old house, every boxed that was packed was stacked in the kitchen it went from the floor to the ceiling..... even with double the bubble wrap on some things, they still got broken in shipment.. but I guess that was to be expected on an 800 mile move.... Am excited for you and yours, getting your dream house, this is really exciting..... and wait till it starts feeling like home, I wouldn't move out of this old place for a million bucks.... Had 2 moose in the back yard this morning.. is so neat.... You have a wonderful day, and don't try and be a superman....

Good morning Val, Glad to see you here. I have been very faithful and drink close to a gallon of green tea a day. I do however drink 2 big cups of coffee(not decaf) in the morning. I have a diet pepsi once in a while but only a half one. I am having problems with the bad carbs thoiugh, I don't eat alot but I eat more than I should. I still have 30 pounds to my Dr. goal although she did say if I had a panni I would be at goal. I can't afford one so I'm just doing the best I can to stay on track. Love you too Ev

Ev, Is so good to see you this morning..... I found some lipton green tea in those pouches like crystal lite makes for a bottle of water, and bought some, I need to try them too..... right now am being good, with a protein drink, and just ate my vitamins.... now lets just see if we can make it through the day, with out any bad carbs... Hope things are going well for you, have you been camping this year?

Yep, went camping over the 4th of july weekend. Had a great time with the whole family and then my 10th grandchild was born the next weekend. I am trying to stay on track, not doing bad today. I found those green tea thingys too. Going to need them. going for a road trip to New York in a couple of weeks. Have a great day! Ev

Hi Val - Sunny, breezy and warm here in San Diego.. My day today is work.. Have to take my daughter over to a friends to hang out and then she is going to a Volleyball clinic tonight. I might meet some friends for lunch but other then that - it is looking to be another boring day of work Luckily I work from home so I can take my laptop and phone out to the backyard and work in this wonderful San Diego weather. I still try to get in all my water but I don't carry a water bottle around anymore. I only did that when I had to take small sips. It was impossible to get it in any other way. But now that I can down a glass of Crystal Lite Sunrise Orange in just a few minutes - there really isn't a reason to constantly cart around water. Plus I can't stand to drink it when it is warm. I do still wait 30 - 45 minutes to drink after I eat.. It's habit now. I do drink coffee (although not so much now that it is warm) and I have had some diet coke. I never finish a can or glass, though.. It's more just for the taste then for anything else. Have a wonderful day!

Lynnda, Sounds like a great day out there, and a great way to work... I love my laptop, don't know where I would be without it... I still carry a water bottle in the car with me, and still have chronic dry mouth, but, I need to get back to the water thinggy... I can't remember when I stopped not waiting after meals to start drinking again..... but will start again today.... and instead of sucking on a life saver or a necco, I really need to start sipping again... my mouth feels like cotton still, I thought that would go away, but never has.. You have a wonderful day too, and enjoy the beautiful weather and lunch... am going to laze out today, and hit the shower and put on a clean pair of jammies, my back is killing me today, and is not going to take wearing a pair of jeans......

Good morning Val!!!!!!!! Hope Mike is feeling good today and you are holding up. i don't carry my water everywhere but if I am a little low on water or right in the middle of a bottle and have to go some place, I take it with me. i drink about 45-60 ounces water a day in addition to any thing else I may drink(lemonade, cryatal light and etc). I drink a whole pot of leaded coffee every morning but of course, that does not count toward my liquid. Going to be 90 here in kentucky today so the name of my game today is to stay cool. I have to go to my grandson's school today and meet his kindergarten teacher since I might be picking him up today. They have gotten real strict here on who can pick kids up from school. About five years ago, we had an incident where a step mom picked up a little five year old boy and killed him and tried to burn his body because she was pregnant with his dad's baby and was jealous. Horrible tragedy but it has made them really crack down here. No one is allowed to pick my grandson up except mom, dad or grandparents and our names must be on a list.
