I'm here.
I finally got a hold of the Dr after playing phone tag all day. So, there are no masses but they saw swelling so I have to go back Thursday for an ultrasound. The dr thinks it's just thickening of the skin but they want to be sure.
So now I need to change my podiatrist appt which is for the same time.
Glad to hear it was nothing alarming. I will continue to pray though. When I had my "scare" several years ago, it was just a sinus infection gone out of control... caused swelling in lymph nodes all over the place! Who knew??
lost another pound this week. Inching closer to the 180's!!
WOOHOO!!
Good evening everyone! Busy day, and not enough dis time, but just wanted to pop in and say hello, and hope everyone is doing well. I was up a pound this morning, but hope to see that gone plus some by sunday when I'll do my official weighin.
Hoping to get everything together for our trip on wednesday over the weekend, and do a good housecleaning so we come home after vaca to a clean house.
Isn't it FABULOUS to come home to a clean house!!? My family just doesn't understand it.
Woo hoo for a loss!
Sometimes I think we need to eat to get our bodies to release things. I attribute my great loss this week to being starving and eating.
And another
for a mother/daughter trip! You guys are going to have a great time and it is something that she will remember all her life. Your boys will no doubt have some great manly fun while you are gone, too.
I was getting frustrated about the maintaining, but I remembered that I have had this issue in the past and it is usually due to UNDER-eating.
I'm excited about heading back to Disney with DD this time. DS and I had SUCH a fabulous time last year.... I'm sure it will be just as much fun with DD! I'll try to get the guys to make some real "plans" before I leave, but DH usually just 'wings it" with whichever child he is left with. I'm sure that it will involve a trip to the "fun park" for go-carts and minigolf, a movie, and probably a trip to my LEAST favorite place, Chuck E. Cheese's!!
Today I will do 5 miles and then I am done with any training runs until the race on Saturday. I will still do a little walking but official training is done!
Then time for a little packing and housework. I'm figuring the boys are not going to be too concerned about housework while I am gone so I'm not going to knock myself out before I leave -- it will be here when I get back!
Unbelievable that the race is SO close! And yup, if your family is like mine, the mess WILL still be there for you when you get back.
When are you going? DS14 and I will be there May 5-8
SERIOUSLY??? We will be there at the same time!!!! WOOHOO!! We are arrive late on 5/5 and leaving late on 5/9!! We SO need to at least meet up to say hello!! I haven't made ANY other plans yet, other than airfare, so I have nothing else to share yet, but we will talk when things start getting closer. Maybe we will be in the same park one day and can meet for lunch and a ride or two?? This will be a total "COMMANDO time in the parks" trip for us.... see it all, do it all, ride it all in just 4 days! We may or may not be including a day at WWOHP or SeaWorld. Haven't really looked into that yet. None of us have ever been to US and I couldn't care less for HP, but DD (and DS) read the entire series last year for the first time and would probably love to see WWOHP. Personally, I don't want to take the time away from Disney... but DD and I will have to talk about it.
Well friends! Once again the morning has flown by! DS is "dog-sitting" for the neighbor, so I agreed to get up early with him for the first dog walk of the morning (brrrrrr!). Then the usual.... laundry, dishes, breakfast and getting ready for today's swim event. I have just 30 minutes to go before I MUST be in the shower and moving along.
I did have a "splurge" of a glass of wine last night.... I haven't had a glass of wine in AGES. The only two times I can actually remember having wine in the past two or three years has been Christmas morning mimosas! Not sure why it was so appealing last night. That said, I DID NOT eat the pizza I brought home for DD. Instead I made my own "light" pizza with a 60 calorie pita pocket for the crust, a wedge of LC cheese, a large quantity of sauteed veggies and some sundried tomatoes and then a carefully measured portion of reduced fat shredded cheese. It was very satisfying. I did have one bite of DD's pizza, but was glad I had decided not to indulge... it wasn't worth it. Not eating the pizza was a bigger victory than it appears...... it was late (about 8:45 pm) and I was tired and hungry. That is a really tricky time for me. The pizza smelled SO GOOD... but I stuck firm and I am proud of myself.
Right now I have a nice pot of vegetarian soup cooking up. Not sure who else might eat it besides me. It has quinoa, so DS shouldn't eat it (allergies). DD won't want it because it has kidney beans. And I"m not sure if DH will try it. But I will LOVE it! I plan on filling my thermos to bring for my dinner at the swim meet tonight. The rest will be portioned out and put in the freezer probably. But I am ALL SET with warm, filling, healthy low-cal meals for the week!
Well.... I've gotta run now! TTYL.................P
- maybe he was checking for that. He has nothing else on his body, just the cheeks. he just said if he was not improving to come back. Not sure what Strep breath is?
I'm having the same AF issues however I was not so lucky.
attack a little while ago. Ate half my kids fries, broke into the bag of Lays potato chips - and they are SOOOO right you can't eat just one 
esp w/ french onion dip. I had about 10 chips. Then later I had an m&m cookie 
WTH!!!! I blame full blown AF time, trapped in the house w/ now TWO sick kids (oldest just tested + for strep this morning) and a bunch of junk food that mommy caved in and said yes to my poor sick kids when at the grocery store (2 trips to the pharmacy so picked up "treats" each time w/ each kid)
Just a quick drive by today, very busy weekend.
