Good Morning. No title

I'm drawing a blank this morning...not unusual by any means. So, share what your plans are for the day. Any struggles, questions, or free advice?

My struggle is meetings that keep me from my ponies and from the gym.  I will plan on driving this afternoon after my meeting although I try to work ponies in the morning when it is cool.  Then Zumba this evening.  I have weights and an excercise ball and I know I should be doing stuff at home too but after 6 hrs of training, I am brain dead.  I did put up 4 qts of tomatos last night which is becoming an everyother night thing to do.  I'm not complaining, I love tomatos and we haven't had many in the past few years but really, this is a lot of tomatos.

On a positive note, I am down from my high of 119 to 116 for the past 2 days.  Must be doing something right.  And all the chocolate is out of the house.  I have threatened DH with divorce court  if he brings anymore in.

Yeah Price - 119 to 116!!! 

Hope your DH pays attention to you - mine just ignores me.  He had bought Pringles yesterday - luckily I was able to stay out of them because I had been in the coconut maroon cookies at work and had a stomach ache.

Thanks.  We will see if it holds at 116 for longer than these 2 days.

Yeah, he didn't listen last time but this time he is going out of town for a week so  maybe we can both detox from chocolate.  Hope your tummy is better.

 Good morning!!  It's back to work for me today!!  This is the longest summer vacation I've had in years.  It ended up being 2 full months!!!  Makes it really hard to go back.  But it's what I do at least for a couple more years.

I had picked up some rather poor/bad habits toward the end of the school year like stopping for coffee on the way in and not always walking past the pastry case!!!  Yes I said it and yes I know better!!!  So my goal is to not start that bad habit again.  I haven't done it for the past 2 months so there's no reason to start now.  Also I will not be keeping a bag of croutons in my desk to tempt me!!!!  They are crack for a carb addict like me.  

I have a plan and I plan to work it!!  We have two weeks before the kids start back so hopefully it will be a smooth transition.

Have a great day!!!

Julie,  Isn't it funny how bad habits are so easy to bring back into your life and so hard to get back out!!

If you are like me, routine really helps.  Work that plan!! 

Good luck with back to work today.

Yesterday I did all sorts of house stuff...we cleaned all but the bathroom, it tends to get cleaned more often than the living room/etc. So we focused on the rest. I made bread and did laundry.

Today is the puppy park to let them run off some excess energy! I also need to make some pimento cheese and set up stuff for our day away from the house tomorrow. This county has a local election being held tomorrow and dh and I are election officials. So we have to be there BY 7AM and probably won't get home til 9PM. And we are not allowed to leave once there. So we are planning snacks, lunch, dinner, etc for our time there. I know we will have water available so fluids is not an issue. But we will be sitting most of the day. The nice part of this is that we make some pin money out of it (along with the training classes we've already attended)

 I am on the boo boo bus today.... (I'm a paramedic) so itself normal watch what eat... My call volume dictates when I can eat so I keep my protein handy.... Just hoping the EMS Gods have mercy on us today...Everyone have a blessed day!!

Today is DD's 33rd birthday!!  We won't do anything today but will lump all 3 of ours together one weekend this month.  DS's is the 11th.

Work today.  Need to get some end of last month things finished and start working on that annual report that is due the end of this month. 

Hope to run this afternoon if the weather permits.  I really need to go back and join the gym - I know I keep saying this but not doing it....

Everyone have a great day.

Hi guys!!! Free advice for the taking...stress will kill you. Find a way to deal with it. My stomach has been in knots for 3 days now due to my craptastic superior. My MO today is to lay low and make absolutely no noise. I can be noisy and it gets me in deeper.

I am motivated to make a change. Just need to figure out if I want to go the same direction or REALLY make a change. One of my closest friends has been out of work for 10 months and it stinks. She is single and may have to file bankruptcy and/or move in with family in a depressed area of the country.

Too much on my mind......
