Morning all! Busy weekend here, so I wasn't around at all. Graduation was WONDERFUL.... couldn't have asked for better weather! I'll share a picture of the family later today. We ended up eating out TWICE over the weekend because we couldn't get a reservation where we wanted for Saturday. I think I have a food "hangover" today. BACK to OP eating today (despite the "special occasion" today ). I know I'll feel better by tomorrow!
No time for chatting today.... trying to catch up on everything I missed around the house over the weekend! I'll pop on tonight to chat...................P
Aww...congrats to DD. Isn't it funny how your body reacts to a change in our eating? My body always feels tired & sluggish after a poor meal choice (aka Chinese buffet ).
Here's the fam! Obviously DS on the left, DH, DD the graduate, and then the old lady on the right! We look pretty good, if I do say so myself! And somehow we managed to be fairly color coordinated!
What a beautiful family! You don't look old enough to have a daughter graduating high school.
Hello all sorry I feel off the face of the WISH boards.
I gained weight back and felt defeated. However, I am finally REALLY exercising to the point where I feel stronger.
Best wishes to all. Great pic pjlla!
It's good to see you back. Jump on in & great job on the exercising!
We love sauteed zucchini or green beans in the saute express garlic butter! OMG delish!!!
GREAT PIC!!!
So I have brag a bit about my Hubs.. he has gotten on board with walking - he walked 3 of the 4 days with me last week and last night he even asked if I wanted to run then challenged me to "beat ya home" run from the corner to our driveway! I am soo glad.. as a chef he is on his feet moving all day but that is stuff his body is used to and I think he is getting it now.. I also completed the first 7 days of the my ab challenge.. I can see improvements even though I am not doing all in a big batch I can at least do 10 sit ups without stopping now vs. ZERO when I started day 1 !!
I totally love sautéed zucchini & green beans as well. I haven't tried sauté express garlic butter, but it sounds yummy!
Congrats on DH making exercise a priority. It's always nice when you can work out with your significant other.
Well, as I live in a climate where the average temp is about 10 degrees and we see the sun about 5 days a year, I don't do a lot about UV protection on a daily basis, although I'm always careful on holiday. I'm a Hawaiian Tropic girl (love the smell!!!)
As far as moisturising generally goes, I do a full body moisturise about twice a week, with legs more as they tent to be dry with me wearing trousers for work most of the time.
My face is probably the most neglected part of me, but I had greasy skin as a teenager, so have avoided much moisturiser since then!!
Have you tried a lotion instead of cream for your face? I tend to have oily skin & creams are so heavy. But I can use a lotion with SPF in it just fine. I think it's Olay?

I'm glad to see I didn't totally kill the thread DS7 and I went to the movies & saw Epic. It was cute. And I managed to only eat a small bit of popcorn and NO candy!! On Mondays our theater has free small popcorn, so we each got one & we brought some home for DS10. I just got done walking with the dog, but we got cut short because of threatening looking rain clouds. I have to pick up DS10 at 4:30, grill chicken for salads, and go to a school board meeting at 7. Idk if other places are having issues with budgets, but PA cut funding to schools & our district is getting rid of programs & not replacing retiring teachers. It's a total uproar in our town & I'd like to go hear what they are saying. So, I'm off & I'll be back tonight.
