You guys are making me jealous - air conditioning talk and all. It is just past noon and it has made it to all of 36 degrees here - brrr!!! It was 22 when I came in to town this morning - yuck, if I do say so myself.
Sorry guys, can't stay - just a quick lunch break and then back to giving shots - loving it though! I am not afraid to give a shot any more!

Have a great week everybody!
Trust me, no A/C HERE! but not as cold as you; 30's at nite, 40's to 50's during the day...
Glad you are getting some good practice with the shots! xoxoxo
It's downright hot here. But that'll change later in the week. I love this time of year.
I was good and ate well. I spent $100 in the health food store today. It amazes me how quickly things add up. But it was 10% off Day. I forgot that the first Wednesday of every month is 10% off day. Saved $11 off the bill.
I went to the gym and worked out pretty good today.
I joined an actual gym about a month ago in order to work out with my dd. She didn't like the idea of "Curves" since it seemed like only old ladies like me worked out there. :gandalf:
So, I've been doing 1/2 hour on the elliptical machine and then all the weight machines and I feel better but I'm still wanting to eat everything in sight. Having a hard time with the diet part.
My dd is loving it - getting stronger. Her pitching coach was impressed with her this last week.
They also have a place for my son to play while I work out, which Curves did not.
It is 17 miles from here . . . . so a major commitment. Usually my dd and I go after she gets home from school but I went early today.

What do you buy there, just supplements or food too? It must be pretty expensive... but 11 bucks, that's a good savings right there...

I checked out Curves recently because there is one conveniently located, ahem, in the same complex as the dunkin donuts I go to just about daily! (but usually I skip the donuts!) Anyway - the voice-over to change stations irritated the heck out of me in the twenty minutes I was there for the tour - I could not have stood it on a regular basis!
I keep thinking if I get a machine to have at home I would do better, but I hear people use them for clothes hangers...
BTW I checked out your Medical Ministries, did you ever go? Fabulous - I would love to be able to go! Touched my spirit so much :)

Yes I did - I was part of Mission 2006.

Awesome! There should be a thread (if there isn't one) for people who've done medical ministry (including here in the US). That is just fantastic Steph!
Steph, I know what you mean. That's a start. Sometimes working out jumps your metabolism and you actually need to eat a bit more - quality food that is. Who knows maybe 2008 I can do a medical ministry with you. :)
Zoe, I primarily buy food, but this week I bought a Calcium/Vit D supplement for those dairy-free days. I got nuts, veggies, grains and whatnot. I think what through it over the edge was lunch - about $6.00 and some stuff at the deli - curried lentils, "eggless" salad (tofu), and a huge, and I mean huge black bean burger patty. With the man traveling I'm eating alone a lot and not in the mood to cook, so I figure fresh deli food adds variety, but it also adds $$$$

Tweety, even tho I'm a carnivore (lol) - what you bought sounds YUMMY! Does the eggless salad taste "eggy"? and the black bean burger patty sounds great too. I like black bean/lentil/green pea soups so I imagine I would like it!
I eat alone all the time, except when I invite someone over. Unfortunately that means I get take out a lot (got Chinese food last nite), and/or the frozen dinners: lean cuisine, or not-so-lean cuisine.
I've also had a few of those Kashi frozen dinners recently, have you tried them?

No air conditioner today, but it was almost a bit too warm in the late afternoon. But it's in the upper 60's and cool.
I've been good, I went to the gym and worked out today, with 40 minutes of aerobics and ate well.
