My dad is "Mr. Advice". Spent too many hours w/ him over the last 2 days and he was all over me about my wt. Sheesh I LOST some - gained a few but does he forget when he had a gut like Sandy Clause? lol...

Got to give him some leeway, being sick and all, but don't I hate that, makes me want to eat and hide all the more.

Yes I heard it was very muggy where you are!

Do you like to swim?

Parents really know how to push our buttons don't they?

We do have a nice pool here to swim in. I thought about joining, but during the summer it's filled with kids and the adult time is in the early early AM and I'm not sure I can fit it in now that I'm working 5 8's in a row. Eventually though due to the hot days and hot nights the water in both pools and beaches are hot and not refreshing. Kind of like swimming in hot bathwater.

I did manage to hit the gym today.

Hello everyone,

I'm just checkin in. Well, I'm alive :up:. That is a good thing.

I'm off for the weekend :up:. That is also a good thing.

I will be as busy as a beaver making a new home :eek:. Hadn't planned on that one happening darn it. I originally planned on a getaway with the hubby. Next thing I know, the money is needed elsewhere, the kids have baseball and t-ball end of year last games on Saturday; parties for the end of season are on Sat. and Sun.; ds2 needs end of school year party at local area miniature golf setting with friend, etc. Geez, I will need to get a good nights sleep tonight.

No exercising for me as of late; but, the family is doing well. Sooo, I guess it's all okay. I'm eating avocados 2-3times per week to help with my hair and depression. Gotta love those omegas. :)

Off to spend more money--online shopping is soooo nice and conveinent :rolleyes:.

Gentle

Ok, I am actually proud that I have exercised twice in the last day. I did my video game for about an hour and I ordered another DDR game that has different music so i can mix it up a bit. I also got my Jackie Warner workout dvd in the mail yesterday so I did that for twenty minutes today, just the upper body portion and whewww its intense. I also ate horribly today too.

Hi Gentle! Thanks for checking in. Take some time out for yourself.

Michigan, at least you balanced out your unhealthy eating with some exercise. When I eat bad I tend to get lethargic and lazy.

I've been maintaining. I'm going to the gym here this morning a bit. Going out with friends tonight for dinner and a movie.
