Time for a break, how is everyone doing today?

[Terry]

A break from my garden. Holy cow is it hot today. We have not really had a good spring temp wise and the heat and humidity came all at once. My blood really needs to thin......... fast! I love summer but after 2 hours of weeding and planting I was ready to come in, grab some water and take a break in front of some cool air.

Heat................... Just more incentive to get back into that bathing suit and be able to comfortably go to the beach and enjoy the very few months of summer weather. I may just pull that suit out today and hang it so I can see it first thing every morning when I get up.

What incentives are you all using to help?

Good Morning Terry!

Sounds like your weather is nicer than ours here in MN. We're having thunderstorms and its just pouring out! My only day off and it rains, maybe thats telling me to CLEAN the house! Like you, I want to be out in my garden with my flowers. I'm trying to do this flower bed thing behind my garage and weather is not cooperating!

I've got a pair of capri's hanging on the door upstairs, When I have to pass them, I just moan, I find myself talking to ME! saying things out loud like NOT YET, SOON! Thats a good day, there was a couple of days I walked by it and said YA RIGHT! But those were the first two days! Caffine withdrawl! a real killer! I want to go shopping today and buy a new outfit for the Holiday weekend, but it will end up being in my fat clothes section in my closet (hopefully) in a few months. When I"m heavy I never buy cloths! To depressing! I'm not really in the mood to buy cloths, but if i don't, I don't have anything nice to wear! So whats a girl to do?? LOL

Have a great day!!

Good morning! Being in California, I just woke up and it looks like the sky is blue and sunshine is streaming in thru my window. Perhaps a perfect beach day! (You don't really know...I live inland, and it is often cloudier on the coast) I think that's what we will try to do today.

What motivates me......hmmm....all of the thinner clothes in my closet. The cute little shirts, the size 12 jeans.....I was halfway to goal last year! I wanna get back there!

Also just looking at ny daughters, who are slim. They look like me, only I'm fat!!!!!!!!!! lol.

Well I sure got my exercise in today. I stretched parts of my body I had forgotten about this past year. Good new is that my first flower bed is weeded, planted watered and mulched. Pretty sure Im gonna be sore but tomorrow Ill get to another bed that needs tending.

Im in now as we have what promises to be a good thunder boomer in a bit. Skies are darkening and I can hear some really good thunder going on in the distance where our storms come from.

I talk to myself and my clothes too............ I talk to my food. I talk to myself all thru the grocery store when I cant get my daughter to go with me.

Lightening ............ see ya!!

Just got back from the beach with the kids. In addition to working on my tan, I got in a 30 minute brisk walk right along the shore - delicious! Why isn't it that easy and fun on the treadmill? Oh, yeah. Because the treadmill has no salty breeze, blue skies, waves, and sand.

Alas, I see that so far today I've only consumed about 750 calories! You'd think it was more - I've had three meals. I need to get cooking, I guess!
