Hello ladies,
Hotter than heck here in Chicago to. Holy Cow, I did a 5K the other day and it was 11o*heat index at the start. Ya think I would loose a pound in pure sweat. Nope not me.
Nancy so sorry about your AC issue.
Kat, good luck with your run, OMG you are amazing to do that many miles in that heat.
Karen, Nancy, I am right there with you both with the diet I just can't get it together. But I need to fast. My next half is 3 months away.WOW. I think I just freaked myself out.
Happy Saturday All
What a raceÉÉÉÉ effinè keyboard.
Good on you missy.
Ok, so here is THE bowl. It's actually a pretty bowl, but you can't tell b/c my salad is in it. I took these this morning (yep, salad for breakfast!) and I not only left the sticky notes IN those big bowls when I put them back in the cabinet, but I'm printing this out and putting it on the fridge. If THAT doesn't stop me, I don't know if anything will.
I have actually made salads in those bigas* bowls! Now, in my defense, I usually only eat raw, so yes, I can eat a LOT of it, BUT, I use Tahini and lemon juice for dressing and tahini can be high in calories, just like PB. I seem to crave FAT, and since I don't eat store bought/dairy dressing, I have to also measure my tahini and use just a couple TBSPs instead of just POURING the dang stuff on my salad! I'm guessing that's part of why THE BOWL works, if I have less lettuce/veggies, I need less tahini. It's really the only explanation as to why I don't lose weight when I really only eat fruits and veggies.
ANYWHO, I'm telling you this b/c you can keep me in line!
I also forgot to tell you ladies (I'm sorry, it's all about me this morning!)that since we couldn't pull together the money for the WDW trip by our October dates, Rey and I decided to take a weekend to ourselves and go to STL! We have NEVER gone away together in our 20 years, mostly b/c of money, but also b/c of the kids. We didn't even have a honeymoon, so I'm SUPER excited about our weekend! This is good motivation b/c I don't want to look like a sloth.
We're staying in an area of STL that I used to love when I was younger, The Loop is what it's called, it's near Central West End (Rhonda, are you familiar with the area?!?!?) and it's right up my alley. TONS of shops, dining, with a cultural/artsy feel. I'm so freaking excited! So I need to keep eating from THE BOWL.
What does everyone have planned for the weekend? It's quiet here, we'll go run and I have some petsitting tonight and a few tomorrow, but that's it!
Have fun Karen!!! Good for you.
And only you could makes bowls look so interesting in a photo.
Hi Everyone!
Ive got the 'Run Bug' - Me and my Mum are already looking at other races we can do, theres not a huge amount of choice around here though
:
Could do a beer run. Okay, Ièm being silly. So what. No word on baby bubles yet eh.
You know where we get our beer here. The Beer Store.
Really thatès what it is called. Cases rollinè rollinè. Effinè keyboard - did I say thatÉ 
Every time I see it I think of Amy and Kat. And in my neighbourhood something happened and they branched out - we have a HUGE beer store called beer boutique.
Holy cow batman. Look at Kat go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronda, Wow very impressive!!!
Tonight grilled chicken, Tomorrow left over grilled chicken (ha ha )
Tuesday may be frozen pizza or hot dogs for the kids, its the first night of soccer practice and we don't have much time for dinner.
Wed-Friday I have no clue!!!
I did my second 5K of the week today. In the pouring rain 35 mins. My best time ever.
Hello - am I missing a race scheduleÉÉÉÉÉ
And weight is often weird in severe heat - well after 40 it is......
(but I pay for it with an itchy throat and runny nose. This is my body's response to almost all food) 
That is awesome 
I am not terribly partial to green peppers myself, but I can tolerate them. Dinner here was baked chicken with liberal chipotle seasoning (a bit too liberal for my taste!). 
Way to go EE!
