WoW that's great! I love carbs also, it's not to bad if you can beat the 2 or 3 first days. Keep up the work!!!! It's getting nice out, so that makes me excited to go out and walk...

Beth,
Congrats on passing the test! Woohoo! I'm sorry the rest of the weekend was a challenge.

Katie's birthday trip sounds wonderful! Kids parties are fun, but a lot of work. It's nice that you will get to spend time together as a family and enjoy Katie's 5th birthday. I hope you have a great time!

You are doing a fabulous job with your goals! Keep up the good work, Beth!

I hope you get a chance to relax today. My house is a disaster too, but I probably won't get around to cleaning it until tomorrow...or the next day...or the next day....or the next day.

Have a great day today!

Tracy

Hi Beth,
I'm so happy you did well on the test ! Just reading about your weekend makes me tired but I'm so proud of you that you can do it and still be OP . You are such an inspiration, Beth. Hope you have a good day today and can fit in a nap !

 

[marsh0013]

so glad to see you made it through another crazy weekend beth! 6.5 hours for a test, oh my goodness , at least you'll be getting a nice bonus

i'm very happy to hear that you got cleared by the doctor adn that everything is going well in that respect. i will echo the pleas to not overdo it at curves though

your goals for the month look wonderful, especially a good idea to work that vacation into them . oh, and i loved reading the list of things you want to accomplish in your lifetime. they all look like such great fun!

katie's bday celebration sounds like it will be a blast! i've been to cedar point, and i absolutely love it! roller coasters, ooh baby! i know she's little and can't do the roller coaster thing, but it's loads of fun anyway

well now i'm rambling. i'm going to cut myself off, right after i wish you a wonderful monday

Dh just called, I'm so excited. His boss just gave him 3 4th row tickets for Festival of the Lion King at the Fox for Sunday. His boss didn't realize it was Easter when he bought the tickets. His wife said no way. We will be able to go to mass, then the play, and then dinner at psycho granny's. I've decided we'l put the tix in Katie's Easter basket as a surprise. Won is pretty ambivalent, but I'm so excited. I figured my fellow Disney obsessed Wishers would be the perfect people to share this news with.

I woke up this morning with a sore throat and congested. I hate being sick. I got one of our interns to call in a script for antibiotics. It's pretty obviously strep throat. I've been expecting to get sick. I've been burning the candle at both ends lately. Plan today is to take Kate to ballet, then come come. I'll rest for an hour, and she can watch Magic Schoolbus. She will be surprised. Tv is for when Mommy is cooking. I'll be relying on the Atkins shakes today. I can't swallow solids right now. I'll try scrambled eggs for dinner. On the plus side, it is an excuse to sit quietly with the laptop and DIS.

I'll be back after ballet to check on all of you. Take care.

Beth

 

[toystoryduo]

Beth,
and healing for you today. Please rest as much as you can and take good care of you.

Tracy

 

[sharoncity]

for you Beth! I hope you are feeling better soon!
On the plus side, no solids means sticking to plan right?! Like you need any help there! You're a regular pro at it!
Sunday sounds like the perfect day! You are going to LOVE the show!
Take it easy and rest today! Get better soon!
TTFN-
Sharon

My DH came home early from work. He worked the afternoon from home, so I could take a nap. At times, he can be very sweet. I'm still not feeling very well. I've been downing water and green tea to help my throat. I'll watch AI, and then I'm off to bed.

Recap4/6.
1.) Meds 6/6.
2.) Water 4l 6/6.
3.) No exercise 5/6.
4.) Food 6/6.
Breakfast-Atkins Shake.
Lunch- Atkins Shake.
Dinner- Quiche and chicken broth.
Snack during AI - SF jello/

I hope everyone has a good evening.
Beth

AI edit.
I LOVE george. I don't think he needs my vote. I also like Jennifer and Latoya. I'm voting for Jennifer because she doesn't seem to have the fan base.

 

[wilderness01]

Oh, I am sorry you are sick. I hope you feel better soon and your meds kick in fast. Did you take ACLS? That is a pretty nice bonus you will get. Good for you. Take care.

 

[toystoryduo]

Beth,
and healing are being sent your way! I hope that you start feeling better soon. I didn't get a chance to watch AI last night. It should be interesting to see who leaves this week. Take good care of you today.

Tracy

Thanks everyone for the pixie dust. I could use it. I'm still feeling sick. I wasn't even able to sleep well last night because I kept having weird nightmares. I think i woke up more tired than when I went to bed. My morning meds are taken, and I'm sipping water. I managed a small piece of quiche this AM, but it isn;t sitting well. I should have gone with my new lc total. Oh well.
I'm winging it on food and exercise today. We will see how I feel this afternoon. At least Katie isn't sick.

Wilderness, I did take Acls in the PM. Isat the ccrn exam in the AM. I get the bonus for CCRN. ACLS is mandatory, and I don't even get paid for it.

 

[septbride2002]

Is something going around on the boards? I sure hope I don't catch it! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling sick Beth. That stinks! Take care of yourself today and get back on plan when you feel better. I am sending you lots of for a speedy recovery.

~Amanda

PS> You have a private message waiting for you!

 

[vald1977]

Hi Beth,
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Sending some PD your way for a speedy recovery . Hopefully, we'll be watching Jon Stevens get booted tonight on AI but I won't hold my breath. For some reason, "The Weasley" has a large fan base. Wishing you a restful day, Beth. I hope you feel better soon !

 

[Strings]

I had a debate with myself. Nap or workout. Workout won. I headed to Curves and did 3 circuits. I'm beat. Dinner will be a atkins shake. I'm going to bed after AI. The Weasley had better be voted off. I've already had 3l of water.
Goals so far:
1.) Meds 7/7
2.) Water 7/7
3.) Exercise 6/7
4.) Food So far OP.
Breakfast tea and scrambled egg.
Lunch Atkins shake.
Snack Jello
Dinner will be Atkins shake. I'll try some berries as well.

 

[DoeWDW]

Beth, I know just what you mean about not sleeping well last night. I kept tossing & turning and when I did sleep, I had the strangest unsettling dreams! Was it a full moon or something??

I hope those antibiotics are kicking in and you start to feel better very soon! Glad Won could work from home so you could catch an extra nap yesterday! Hang in there, try to relax and let those meds do their job!
