Interesting!

Thanks Marie! I got my 4 miles in again today, 74 mins.

I think I may even meet my exercise challenge, its not too late!

Food yucky today...I'm feeling lousy so no more exercise tonite anyway.


I'm gonna help my son , he has midterms tomorrow!

 

[CJK]

I agree - what beautiful kids.

Best of luck with that chip challenge! Chips are my weakness (even baked doritoes!!).

 

[lindalinda]

Baked chips are my weakness, any kind, those lays cheddar ones, or baked cheetos. But I didnt have any today.

I did have chili tho, and lunchmeat (ham and cheese) and I'm gonna have a fugesicle in a bit. Not horrible, but not good either.


No exercise today, work schedule really not conducive to it. I work early tomorrow, so I will get some in then. (hopefully another 4 miles.) I am thinking soon (not this month) I am gonna do a mileage challenge for myself. I have done 8 miles this week already so I am thinking, maybe 75 miles???? In a month I mean. We'll see, I'm still in the thinking stage. That may be nuts.

My son had midterms today. His first high school real ones. He really doesnt know how to study, I kept trying to tell him, but he's stubborn. Lets call it an eye-opener. I think he will remember next time.


I am dreaming about a trip to disneyland, ca. Thats where my brother lives, and I would really like to take those babies to disney. I dont know how I can figure it into the budget, but I am dreaming about it. I have never been to california, and I know airfare would be huge. Maybe I can find some discounts on here.

Later

Hey Linda! I was stopping by to see how the chip challenge is going. Your exercise minutes are AWESOME!! You're really doing great!

Your niece and nephew are beautiful!! Head on over to the budget board and see how you can get to Disneyland with them!! That would be an awesome experience for all of you!

 

[kmp1191]

hey....love the suri post!

 

[lindalinda]

Okay...I feel really stupid.......but I have 3 tags!!!!!!

Anyone notice when I got these?????



Thank you tag fairy.....

 

[lindalinda]

hey....love the suri post!

I really like the "koolaide is yummy"

 

[CJK]

I hope you can make that Disneyland trip a reality. Imagine those adorable faces seeing Mickey for the first time! Congrats on the tags! Those tag fairies are pretty sneaky!

 

[kmp1191]

I know you got the Controversy one a few weeks back when you were having issues at work. It was the opening line one day in your journal. (See, I did pass reading comprehension in school!! ) The others were before I knew you, and who knows what you were up to then!!

 

[lindalinda]

I do remember all the phrases...the mattress one was from a thread asking how to make a sofabed more comfortable...and the other was asking for directions, it just seems like I should have noticed them showing up! I mean I noticed Suri Cruises tag!

Anyway...I did my 4 miles today, 75 mins. I seem to be going backwards! But its okay, at least I did it!

Food was okay...I had some leftover nutrisystem stuff...yes I still have lots left...I think it is multiplying like the loaves and fishes!

Oh, and no chips.....and it is sooooo hard! There are sun chips and baked lays on the kitchen counter mocking me!



Gonna read youralls journals! Later!

[goldcupmom]

Linda, those babies are BEAUTIFUL!!! Wonderful of your brother to care for them!

Glad the work situation is getting better. You're doing great at your exercise. 4 miles is a long way no matter how fast!

Have a great weekend!

 

[lindalinda]

Its raining......so I couldnt walk any today. I did 20 mins stairmachine instead. Better than nothing.


Long day, I have to take my boy to the Dr tomorrow for his lung test (asthma). He has a really bad cold so I hope thay can do it.

NO chips today!

 

[lindalinda]

I'm on my 5th day without chips and I'm about to pull out my hair! Uggg! I am so bad! I just want a little salt!

Anyway, no exercise today. Somehow, I just didnt do it. I told myself to, but I just didnt. I am off all day tomorrow so I will get my 4 mles in and hopefully some more too.

The Dr. said my boy is healthy. His chest pains werent from the asthma, they are a growing pain that happens where the ribs meet the sternum. He should outgrow it eventually. So that was good news.

I have a fabulous story to tell about my boy tonite. As you all know , he is 14, a freshman, and a snare drummer on the drumline in his high school band. He is really good and the drumline almost always wins in competition, they do some really wild things, with dancing and with drumsticks. I dont know exactly how to explain it, except its fancy stuff. Tonite was a football game and they do a show at halftime. The crowd really likes the drum break and a group of girls line up on the sidelines to watch and cheer. Anyway, in one part they throw their sticks in the air and catch them. My son throws his up, but one of them over to the line of girls (one in particular). The drumstick has written on the side "will you go out with me?" Isnt that awesome? Hes a superstar now, all those girls saw it and went into teen-girl giggle fits. (the girl said yes too) And, to make it even better, when he got home.........HE TOLD ME---HIS MOM---ALL ABOUT IT! He knew I would love it.


nite all

Hey, Linda! I have been by your journal and I would have sworn I'd posted, but alas I have not. Sorry!

I think your neice & nephew are adorable! And I think your brother & his wife are wonderful people!! I hope that someday DH will decide that he wants to adopt as well! I want children of my own, but I think that I have plenty of love to go around.

Glad to hear that your DS is ok!! What a sweet story about his "proposal"!! Man, makes me miss being a band geek!! I drove past one of the local high schools the other day and the marching bad was practicing.... sent me Way down memory lane!!

You've been ROCKIN on the exercise!! 4 Miles!! You go girl!! I did three the other week and I felt it for days I gotta get it in gear and catch up with you!

Way to go on resisting the chips!! You can do it!!

Have a Great week!!

 

[lindalinda]

Thanks for stopping in Amber!

Just a quickie, its very late. I didnt walk today (cramps) but I did do 60 mins on the stairmachine, so not bad. It doesnt look like I will make my goal this month but I gonna keep trying and see how close I can get.

No chips today.

 

[lindalinda]

One week without chips! I feel like a need methadone or something. I need to get rid of all the carbs for a while, not just chips. Sugar too.

It was too cold to walk today, well mostly too windy. So I did 60 mins stairmachine and 8 mins ablounger. I will try walking again tomorrow.

I did a classic bone-headed move today. Took the sheets off the bed, threw them in the washer, turned on the hot water, poured in the bleach, then noticed the remote was missing. UUGGHHH! Now I cant get my dvred stuff and watch it until I get a new one. I bet itll cost 50 bucks too. Its digital and everything. Phooey!

later

 

[lindalinda]

I did better on food today, only one slip-up with some crackers at work.

B=nutricrunch cereal
L-turkey dog (no bun)
s-choc pudding no sugar
d- wings
s-crackers (6)
s-fudgsicle

Exercise- 30 mins on stairmachine and 30 mins walking (at work)
I thought I could get a few more minutes in tonite but aint happening. I think in order to make the challenge I need to do an hour every day. Thats not likely so I need to get some extra in somewhere.

No chips today.
I hope I dont go crazy and eat a whole bag of cheetos when this is over.
