Good Morning!!

[Terry]

Dont know about all of you but its a gorgeous sunny Sunday morning here where I am. It has been so darned muggy lately that clothes wouldnt even dry hanging out on the line. Fresh, clean if not a little cool air................... good walking weather!! Add a bit of yard work and my exercise quota will be easily met. Its a good day!

How are you all manageing your holiday weekend? One good thing about this holiday is it us usually all about grilling. And that will lead to another thread........

Have a great day!

Re: Good Morning!!

Well, good morning to you! It's 6:29 here...what on earth am I doing up so early, you ask? Well, despite my decision yesterday to limit my workout to a yoga tape, I did not do so. I did......NOTHING.

Which leads me to the inescapable conclusion that, for now, unless I actually get up, go to the car, and go to the gym, I'm not going to exercise (except beach walks sometimes).

Since the entire fam damily is going to the beach today at 11, I though I had better go work out around 8, to make sure it gets done. (I did, as I rolled out of bed, think to myself: "well, you COULD do it TONIGHT...". Then I shut THAT little voice up, because, of course, who the heck works out after a lazy day in the sun?)

Today is DAY FOURTEEN for me!!!!! OMG! A completely clean induction. I am so jazzed! And yesterday, my jeans were definately loose. At least that's what I think they were. Is it called "loose" when they are baggy around the thighs and waist and start to sag down a bit and make you look rather, um, bottom heavy? <g>

My older daughter told me yesterday that I've lost "quite a bit" of weight in my face.....she's now my favorite child. <g>

Terry, I envy you a garden, I keep forgetting to tell you that! We live in a condo, with a patio the size of a large postage stamp, and a little flower bed, completely in the shade, the size of a toothpick on its side......I did fill it with jasmine (oh, the delicious smell at night!) and ferns and other shade plants, but miss a larger space to play in the dirt!

How's everyone else doing?

Good morning back Finelly

That beach day sounds really good to me! Have a great time............ Those beach walks accomplish more as they require more work/muscle to walk in the sand than around town on pavement or in ones living room in front of a DVD. Congrats on the saggy jeans! Feels great doesnt it!!

I will need to get out and get away from the food today. Day 14 here too and Im snacky this morning so guess keeping busy is going to be my salvation today. My face is thinner also, I know I am losing when my "smile lines" return to my face. And Im not smiling! LOL The bloated feeling is gone and my shorts are feeling much better than they did 2 weeks ago.

Garden is doing fine. I used to run a greenhouse with my father in law and really miss it. JAsmine.... I bet the smell was heavenly!

Enjoy the beach!

Re: Good Morning!!

Good morning to both of you! Sounds like you are both gona have a great day.
Its too awfully hot here in AZ to do anything outside and I am jealous!!!

Someone remind me why I live here, pleeease!

Re: Good Morning!!

I lived in AZ for awhile.

You live there because, um, it's a DRY heat!

When you become wealthy, you come to San Diego for a month in August. Then we get to call you "Zonies" and make fun of you!

Re: Good Morning!!

"Zonies"! I've never heard of that. That's fabulous. We are definetley Zonies out here! I think I'll be moving completely if I become a millionaire. 22 years of this is way too much.

Re: Good Morning!!

Have any special plans for tomorrows birthday Mojo?

Re: Good Morning!!

My family and friends are all going out with me to an early dinner.

Then my parents are gonna watch my 2 1/2 year old for the night. So my big plan is to get a little more than tipsy with my dh and some Patron and try to enjoy the sad loss of my early twenties. Perhaps another viewing of my favorite movies~Kill Bill. Not much, really. We can see some fireworks from our balcony which for me always means- hey its your birthday!

But, trully, I am looking forward more to the next day. I am looking forward to liking the way I look again. Then the real celebration begins...

[Terry]

Re: Good Morning!!

Sounds like a good time to me. Not everyone gets fireworks for their birthday celebration every year!

I hear you on getting back to liking what you look like again. I have just completed 2 weeks of induction and am staying there for the time being so I can do the same. It doesnt take long to feel better as soon as you begin.

Have a great birthday bash then jump back here with us on Tuesday and join in on the fun! You did it once you can do it again.
