Congrats on the $ you made on your yard sale. It is alot of work isn't it? Glad you made out ok and the rain stayed away.

Hi Val!
Congrats on the money that you made at your yard sale! It is an awful lot of work though isn't it? Each year I tell my DH that this is it; no more yard sales! Then, I look at all of the stuff around my house and think... hmmmm, why not try and make some money? So, then we end up having another yard sale.

Have a great day!

Hi Val,

It seems that quite a few of us forgot to weigh in this week. It is awesome that you made soem $ at the yard sale. Is it earmarked for anything? Have a good day.

Val, way to go with the yard sale!! You are a brave woman - I REFUSE to have another yard sale - too stressful for me! I admire anyone who can do it!

I hope your "dues lady" has shown up with her check! It will be such a relief to get that situation behind you!

Hope you're eating healthy and getting some exercise!

Just wanted to stop by and say HI! Hope all is well with you.

Just stopping in to see how you are doing. Have you recovered from the yardsale yet? Hope you have a great day.

I had a scary scale encounter yesterday - I'm up 2 pounds. I knew it wouldn't be pretty since I haven't been drinking my water like I should and I have been eating out more than I should. This week I'm pledging to drink my water and stay away from take-out!

I promise to get to everyone's journals tomorrow. Sorry I haven't been around in a couple of days but it has been busy busy around here (in a good way ). I have been thinking about all of you and sending good vibes your way . I feel so lucky to have you all to support me and I appreciate it very much .

Hey Val!
I'm sorry that the scale didn't cooperate for you, but you sound ready to tackle the week ahead. Just remember to water like a and those two pounds should melt right off. How is the exercise coming?

I hope you have a wonderful week! Take care!

Hey Val - thanks for checking in on me. Your encouragement means a LOT to me!!
Had to laugh when I read your post above! Sounds like you are just like me when it comes to this exercise stuff! But I know you'll stick with it - its in writing after all!
Have a great day!
TTFN-

Val,

You are funny! Hope your workout on the treadmill was a good one. Believe me, some days I can come up with 10 different excuses why I don't want to go on the treadmill. I am actually forcing myself to go on it today.

Hope your day was great.

 

[vald1977]

Hi Sharon and Wilderness! Thanks for visiting.

I did it! I 1.5 miles on the treadmill. I have one more bottle of water to go and all my goals have been met for the day.

 

[Strings]

WTG Val!

Accomplishing all of your goals for the day is great. Keep it up.

Way to go Val! Keep up the good work!

To answer your question in my journal, I have been eBaying a lot of books and videos lately. I also have been eBaying clothes and other odds and ends. Some things sell; some don't. I have 35 listings up now and have 7 items selling. Of course, I still have 2 days left on some auctions, 5 and 6 days on others. There is a great thread on the Budget Board about finding things to eBay. If you are interested in getting started, that is a great place to look. I hope that helps you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'm not an expert, but I would be more than happy to help if I can.

Have a wonderful Tuesday Val!!

I'm baaaack. Sorry to be MIA all week but we have been outside enjoying to beautiful weather. DH had some vacation days this week so we have been cheating some with the healthy eating . It was really nice to spend some time together and not worry about anything though.

Dh and ds are both sick today. I'm hoping they keep it to themselves and not pass it on to me. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer !

 

[wilderness01]

Hi Val, good to "see" you again. That is nice you were able to spend time with your husband. Sorry they are sick. Hope they are better soon.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Val!
I'm glad that you guys had a good week last week. I'm sorry that your DH and DS are sick today. Make sure that you take good care of you so that you don't get sick too, okay?

Take care and have a great week!

Tracy

Just a quick post as we are off to take ds to the dr. We did not have a good night (why do kids always seems to be sick in the middle of the night?). I'm hoping it's nothing contagious since I'm supposed to be babysitting all this week. Keep your fingers crossed for us if you can.
