Well, if you didn't get that sleeping in earlier, I hope you are in bed snoozing away by now. Mondays are rough days, aren't they? I know they are for me!

Those little munchkins are just that - little - so be happy that you stopped at three! That's some strong willpower because you already had a TASTE! I know this week will be a good one!

Beth,

Kudos to you!! How in the world did you ONLY eat 3 Munchkins....I would have had to eat at least 30!! You have some awesome willpower there!! Hope you are sleeping better tonight!!!

Keep up the good work!!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Hoping you can get some rest soon! Yes, and how did you eat just 3 munchkins!

Hi Beth!

Glad to hear you had great news at the doctor's and survived another work weekend! I hope you got lots of good sleep last night and had happy dreams.

You are so close to Onederland, dear Beth! How exciting! Hang in there!

I hope today is wonderful for you!

Hi All,

It was weird yesterday. I am usually so wiped out after working 3 in a row that I can't function. Yesterday, I felt fine. I did get a 2 hour nap in the afternoon, but I woke up refreshed. The only differance was that I exercised as soon as I got home. I think that will be the plan from now on. We'll see next week.

Today will be insanely busy. Today's plan...
Dance class.
Grocery shopping and Target run.
YMCA for weights and cardio.
Clean the house. I didn't do this yesterday. Well, I cleaned the playroom, and that was a whole day project. I sorted all of Katie's toys. We tossed some and are donating some. I put together some shelvihg units for storage, and you can actually walk in it.
Move the furniture for the exterminator tomorrow.
Deal with Katie all day on my own, Won works late tonight.

Meal Plan for the day...
B: Scrambled eggs and tea.
L: Salad.
D: We're hitting Zoup for chicken vegetable soup and salad.
Snacks will be celery with peanutbutter, or berries, or 1/2 grapefruit.

I will not get to journals until later tonight. I'm thinking of all of you. Take care.
Beth

Hi Beth - Just stopping in to say hi. Have a great day!

 

[crzy4pooh]

Hi Beth Your day sounds insanely busy!!! I wish I had your energy!!! Great job on all the exercising, house cleaning, and moving furniture! And your food plan for the day sounds great. I may just have a salad tonight for dinner - that sounded yummy! Have a great one!!!

 

[sharoncity]

Beth - I hope you are having another good day. Doesn't it feel great when you get things organized and straightened up??? I just love that feeling of a job well done.

Your plan for today, while very busy, looks good. Your food and exercise are going well this week so far! Keep up the good work!!

Hope Katie isn't too much of a handful for you today!

TTFN- Sharon

Hi Beth!
Oy - isn't it fun to get ready for the exterminator? If your guy is like mine, everything has to be pulled away from the walls - in every room. That turns into a lot of work around here.

I am glad you had a better day on Monday. That's great! It would really great if it works each time! I know it makes a difference for me on shot nights. Let us know how the 'test' goes next week.

Hi all,

Thanks for stopping by. You guys are the best.

I managed to get everything accomplished, except journals. I just can't get to every journal every day. I'll just keep plugging along.

I had a great workout at the Y today. I did 2 weight circuits and 30 minutes on the glider. I did the glider flat out. I "ran" the entire time. 521 calories in 30 minutes. I am definately happy with that.

I am a little stressed right now. The house is totally torn apart right now. Everything needs to e away from the wall. Now, my house is rarely clean, but this total disruption has thrown me off balance. I also had a trying day with Katie. She kept throwing attitude at me. She ended up in a tantrum tonight, not like her. I know she is overtired, but I will not allow her to blatently disrespect me. Ugh. Won didn't get home until 1030, so I was all on my own. I don't know how single parents do it.

Iam exhausted and I am going to bed.

I will check in tomorrow.

Take care,
Beth

Ok, off into the day. I slept lousy, and now have a headache. I have decided to give myself a break. Won is stying home for the exterminator. After I go to the Y for cardio, I am headed over to the mall to spend some of my bday money. The laundry can wait. I need a little down time. I'll put the house back together when I get home.

Meal Plan for the day...
B: Tea and toast w/ no carb apple butter.
L: Ceasar salad.
D: Salad and spaghetti.

Ok, I've got to go. Have a good day.
Beth

 

[Lizzydoll73]

Hi Beth - Hope you have a better day today.

 

[Tera]

Hey Beth - Sorry you had such a bad day yesterday. We've all been there at one time or another (some more than others). I'm glad your taking some time for yourself today. Don't worry about the house... it isn't going anywhere.

Enjoy your day!!

 

[wilderness01]

Beth,

I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Beth,

Sending some your way today. I hope today was a much better day for you and that you had a great time spending your birthday money. Take care!

 

[Strings]

Hi All,

I am feeling much better. Thanks. I will be heading to bed as soon as Alias is over.

Today was a mixed bag. I did 60 minutes on the glider, 826 calories. Showered and hit Parisian. I didn't find anything for myslef, but I found some great buys for Katie. A beautiful Easter dress for $25. A mega sale. Tshirts, shorts, and capris. Each were$7. I came home to find out that Won fell asleep on the couch, and slept through the exterminator appointment, so they are coming tomorrow afternoon. My house is still all torn apart. It is totally stressing me out. Mom calls, she slipped on some ice. She broke her nose and arm. I get my grace from her. She is ok, she is embarrassed. I will check in on her again tomorrow.

I was OP. I added a 1/2 grapefruit at lunch. I wasn't hungry at dinner, so I had some spaghetti, but skipped the salad. 3.5 liters of water.

Ok, I'm off to bed. Take care,
Beth

 

[Tera]

Hey Beth - Sorry you didn't find anything for yourself during your shopping excursion, but I always love when I find a bargin for my kids clothes

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. My Dad is at that age where we have to be so careful during the winter. I hope to recovers quickly.

As far as your DH, I just have to shake my head If he were mine, I would have smacked him upside the head

Good job staying OP. Enjoy your evening (watching Alias too) and get some rest

 

[geetey]

Oh dear! I would completely embarrassed as well! A broken nose! Well, that's much better than a broken hip. Your poor Mom. I fall quite a bit but haven't broken anything yet. <knocking on wood> I hope she has a quick discovery.

I LOOOOOOVE finding good bargains, but seem to have the same thing happen to me. I always find things for everyone else. It's okay - I know my turn is coming. I hope you find some good bargains for yourself next shopping trip.

 

[sarahsmom73]

I hope you are feeling better! It is no fun being sick! Take care and keep us posted!

 

[lulu201]

for you, Beth, and for your mom. For you because your house is still torn apart--I hate that! For mom, because of her injuries. Poor thing. Hope all is back to normal for your both real soon.

Take care,
Erin
