The Daily Grind ~ 7/5/12

[PrincessNancy96]

Mornin'..

Hope all of you had a wonderful and safe 4th of July. Ours was quiet... no fireworks by the city like normal as we have had NO rain since May.... like .09" for the month of June. It was also 102 so too hot to go out and do anything we normally do. We just chilled at home with family time and enjoyed that... Lots of laughs...


So, today...supposed to hit triple digits yet again... so I think there will be minimal done again today...


Get DD up and off to work...
Get DH up for work/works from home today
set up boys' wellness/annual physcials for next week
set up boys' eye appts for August

make grocery list for tomorrow
sort 2010 Disney photos to start working on...
prep 2011 family album photos to finish up this month

Good morning ladies!

Looks like I beat Lisa!!
Stay cool Nan, buffy stay sane.
Christy, ya for food tracking, wii fit. Tracking really keeps things in perspective.

Got an email tues, that the house is ready to close! Just have to wait for seller!!!!!

Party last night was ok. A few people with no manners, ( I didn't invite) then once again at clean up time everyone rushed out "to catch the ferry" ie dbf's mom and her extra guests. Last get together at our house! They come here cause we can do fireworks, then leave a huge mess! No more. Dbfs dad and brother stayed, after they saw how mad I got. Erg! I think the other brother was still scared from when I ripped him a new one about his fireworks being too close to house and the kiddos.

So for today.
Dbf up and out, he's dragging worse than a kid today!
Since I'm up, go work out.
Shower
Enjoy some kidless quiet time?
Start clean up of house again. Dbf and I cleaned up majority last night.
Pack few boxes.
Work on a few things, soon as I reclaim my table.
Dinner- not sure yet.

Hi to everyone!

Becky

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Becky, I'd love to have a beach near by and the crashing of Ocean waves to tolerate this dreadful heat!!! We were actually cooler in Disney last week....

At least with us staying home we are tucking money away for our next trip!!!

 

[disney-akj]

Sounded like most had a good 4th of July
Nan- Stay cool we are in the same heat wave I believe. Don't melt
Rachal- I am sorry, that stinks

Yesterday we went to a parade in the morning (hot!!), had a lazy afternoon, then bbqed with the neighbors, celebrated neighbor's DS birthday, let the kids do sparklers/smoke bombs, and watched the city fireworks (which we can see from our subdivision).

Today: The house is pretty clean, just need to do a little laundry! I am determined to get busy scrapping, and get through the Harry Potter section of our trip. While it was one of the highlights of our trip, it is difficult for me scrap for some reason! I can not find a lot of inspiration on line either

Thanks! They are all dis-invited from here on out! Where is the foot stomping smilie?

Watch a movie!! Sometimes it helps

Rachel it does help because I actually will eat to little calorie wise when I'm trying to loose. One day I didn't even use 900 cals. which is bad and I know it, I'm aiming for the 1200-1300 mark each day. I actually will eat 3 "meals" today, trying to train my stomach to like food in the am (before 10) and it's not going real well.
I don't like that they only have the wii fit exercises in there not the plus ones too so I'm having to do some figuring out but it's coming out close to a close match of what the wii says.
Sorry to hear about the bratty relatives, there's one in every family it seems. Hang in there but YEAH on the house.

I do that too. I like adding my cleaning time into my exercise too!! makes it not seem so bad. but then i need to eat more I just treat myself to ice cream or something. just a little.

Try a banana and a English muffin or a piece of toast in the morning. I like to work out and then eat, since I'm not a big breakfast fan. it helps get your tummy ready.

Good Morning!

we had a fun day with Rachal yesterday, in spite of the rude family! got home about 1215 and slept in and a lazy morning!

hope everyone stays safe and cool in this heat!

not much going on today, have a nail appt in a bit and Megan wants to stay home, which is a first!

 

[joyah]

Lisa your girl is growing up!!!

Rachel I too find that exercise wakes up the tummy. My problem is I hate getting up at 5:30 to exercise before work, and when the boys are in school it's abt 5 so I normally do it at 1:30 when I get home and no one is here to laugh at me. I couldn't find that spark had cleaning chores in their exercise list.

Rebecca LOVE swimming! hope you all had fun

Now I just need to kick them out so I can have the tv for the wii, Ijust gotten started and Tom and Levi showed up for lunch........ so I prepped dinner veggies.

Ohh it got worse after you left. I was not quiet about it. one of the girlfriends offered to help but DBF's mom told her to get in the van so they wouldnt miss the ferry I told her husband what I thought of that bs!

Christy, try http://www.myfitnesspal.com/exercise/lookup it has EVERYTHING.
I hate getting up early too, but I think its going to have to be a must, because working out at night doesn't happen.

 

[joyah]

Rachel That's insane that "mother" thinks its ok to crash parties and then do NOTHING to help.

I like fitness pals food tracker better than spark but it to only has the wii fit ones spark has. I wonder why? I must be missing something......

Well darn! May have to use them both for optimum results.

I've decided that I'm insane- as in doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results!

would you be mad if I agreed??? if you keep doing the same thing why would it work if it didn't before??

I used to talk to a bodybuilder alot on another comment board - he also did fitness for other people - he says your body is 85% what you eat & 15% what you do
he really believed in reading labels - it is scarey what is in food - first rule is if you don't know what it is then you can't eat it
if it has corn syrup in it then you can't eat it

now go look at the last box/can you ate - does it break one of those rules??

sorry she gave you more crap after we left, the woman needs a kick in the tush.


Megan did great staying home, only called me a bit after I told I'd be home to see if I was on my way....proud she is able to do this, but sad too she's old enough to stay home by herself
