Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Good morning.. I think everyone in my house has lost it.. My sons alarm went off at 5:30 this morning and he is up and dressed and ready to go to work at 6.. My husband said they were going an hour earlier and get home an hour earlier... My daughter wanted me to wake her at 6 too so she could call her boyfriend before he goes to work at 6:15 today.. This is WEIRD around here.. These kids don't like to get up...

It was so HOT here yesterday..and my New A/C is still sitting in the floor.. (making me mad especially when I just ran into the stupid thing!) Going to be another Hot day..

I am 2 days cheat free again.. My daughter has a deal with me that if I cheat I have to give her $20....lol Leaving here in a bit to go to Water Aerobics.. Going to sport my new bathing suit..lol

Have a great day!

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Good morning, everyone! Hot here, too! Very icky. And I need to finish cutting grass, so going out VERY early to try and beat the worst of the heat. Then, it's just a hanging out day - the first since school ended 10 days ago! Well, not really hanging out. Need to do some laundry and cleaning, but at least I won't be running somewhere all over town!

Very tired this morning. My ds had a rough night last night. Autistic children don't often sleep well. There are few nights that he's slept through since he was born. He is always up at least once a night. I usually just tuck him back in bed and he's good til morning. Last night, though, he was up 3 or 4 times. Just as I would get back to sleep, it seemed he'd be there again! He doesn't have those nights that often, thank goodness.

Sandy - sorry about your A/C! I hope it gets installed soon! And about the $20 - whatever it takes to stay cheat free until it becomes second nature! Keep it up!

Everyone - have a great day!!!

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Good morning everyone! It was HOT yesterday! I didn't walk yesterday and now I'm a few days behind. Thunderstorms today. It looks like my bosses (who are here for the summer) won't be coming into work until afternoon (must be nice) so I am drinking about 90oz before noon and then tapering off in the afternoon, so I don't upset them with all my trips to the bathroom. My one boss (they're a married couple) is restarting Atkins this week too! But that doesn't make him more understanding! Oh well.

Anyone know about colonoscopies? Dh is having a routine one done tomorrow. No eating today at all and tonight he takes the stuff. Do you think he can eat normally tomorrow after it's done or will he need to be careful about what he eats? He wants me to have one done too, but I thought he could go first and be the guinea pig! I don't wanna!! I guess it would be a way to have a quick temporary weight loss!

Is anyone else crazy enough to wonder how much the hair weighs that they shave off and wonder if it's just enough to tip the scale down another pound? Crazy I am!! LOL!

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Morning. Up at 345 with my 2yo, he has never been a good sleeper but its starting to take its toll on me.

Quiet day here, laundry and dishes, possibly a trip to the library.

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Good morning STAC'ers! Well finally we're getting some rain in Indy. (Thinking back, I wish we could have had some of those dreary rainy days from months ago haha!) My garden needs it soooo bad. We expanded the garden this year and have watermelon, and acorn squash, and summer squash.

Life is good! Hope everybody is fine and having a good day.

Day 1 - Totally Caffiene Free!! Woo Hoo!!
Day 2 - None today either! Bring on the water!!

Have a good one!

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Happy Tuesday morning!

Sheepie, I wish your DH luck with his colonoscopy. I don't know much about them, so I can't answer your questions.

Also, Sheepie, I've wondered about stranger things! I can relate to you! I will not ever weigh right after a shower, because I'm worried about "water weight". lol

I'm strange here too. I always weigh after my shower with wet hair. I figure that way, my low weights are more real and not just a fluke! Strange, I know.

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Hey everyone,

Don't sweat it Sheepie. Colonoscopies are a breeze. Depending on the time of his procedure, your dh will probably still be groggy most of the day. The sucky part of the whole procedure is cleaning your system out. IE; drinking all of the preprocedure stuff. But, it is so important that he is clean inside. It allows the Doc to see better when he is scoping.

I strongly recommend that you have one done. Especially, if you have family history of colon cancer. Even if you do not have family history, it is a good idea just to have a surveilance colonoscopy.

Enough from me, I am in the healthcare field and I'm familiar with colonoscopies.

Good luck to him and you,

Buffy

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Good Morning!

Thanks for starting the roll call, Jen.

Sandy - kids getting up early? That is strange!

Cheri and Karen - I remember those sleepless nights. My son had major sleeping issues from birth till earlier this year. (He is 11) Take care.

Sheepie - I brought my mom to her colonoscomy a few months ago. The part she hated the most was drinking that stuff. She's not usually a complainer, but she bitched about that a lot. She said the actual proceedure wasn't that bad, and she seemed fine when I was sitting with her in recovery. We didn't have to stay long, and there was really no special instructions when we left. She is supposed to get one every 3 years due to huge constipation issues she's had for 30 years, but she said that she doesn't think she will go back anytime soon.

Scooter - I am so glad that you're back. Yay! Your garden sounds great. Good for you.

FG - Now that I think about it, I think it sounds perfectly reasonable not to weigh after a shower due to water weight.

Bufferama! Great to hear from you.

Hope each of us have a great Atkins day.

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

hi yall,

so it is super hot and humid in VA? my family has said it has been a rather nice spring so far, maybe the heat wave just hit? you will have to update me, i go to VA beach for family 4th of july beach trip in just over a week.

it is also getting hot out here, will be 114 tomorrow! i am up early to get a run in before the sun gets too hot..it is about 85 at night so still very warm as i head out for my run. buffy, will have progress report this evenig, how long is your long run on saturday? harmony, great to hear from ya!

sheepie, i agree with buffy...worst part of colonoscopy is the cleansing tonight....it will be rough but tomorrow he will be ok. and i back her up that you should also get one.

sandy, snaps to you for finding a way to get your daughter's support, albeit a monetary bribe! ha!

obkbbby, sorry you didn't sleep well. hang in there today and i totally remmeber the days of cutting that green, green VA grass in all that humidity!

luvmybabies, maybe you can get a nap in with your 2 yr old today??

scooterjam, how cool you have a garden! i wish i had one, especially with yummy summer veggies.

and floyd girl, i do the EXACT same thing...no weighing after a shower with my wet hair, ha!!!

have a great one, all. appreciate you!

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Good Morning,

I too will only weigh before showering with the fear of a few more ounces being put onto the scale.....crazy I know???

As for sleep, My 2yo also woke up at 2:30 this morn....and I am exhausted, i was in a dead sleep, which rarely happens, she must have know this and planned to wake me up!!!! little rascal.....needless to say, getting back to sleep was a pill, especially since I had to wake up at 5:30.

THATS WHY I NEED A CUP OF COFFEE IN THE MORN.....

Still stuck at 162 (before showering) YIKES!!! i thought for sure today would register 161..... i did not cheat.....

[speedyturtle]

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

NWW (never weigh wet) or after I have had a drink, I figure a 16 oz drink is a pound.
Good morning everyone, I am so happy I got to sleep in a little, worked late last night. Cannot have overtime so I will sleep in an hour for the next 2 days and will come up with 40 hrs still.

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Mornin all

Looks like its going to be at least a partially sunny day here which is good. Supposed to get to about 90F later in the week. I'm looking forward to that. I love the heat.

Well it was weekly weigh in for me this morning and sadly no loss yet again

I guess I will chalk it up to the added exercise. Hopefully I am building muscle and that weighs more than fat...soooooo....perhaps thats it.

I must say its a bit discouraging to stay on target, follow all the rules and still not see the scale move. I have been almost right on in my percentages at FitDay too.

Ho Hum...guess I will shoot for next Tuesday now.

Have a great day all!

Re: Tuesday morning roll call

Mitzi, Michelle, and Party - My ds is 10. I can count on two hands the number of nights he has slept all night his entire life. It's just one of those things that go with autism. I'm told I can give him seratonin (isn't that the natural sleep aid?), but I just can't quite get past the idea that I would be drugging him, even if it is natural. He gets along during the day pretty well - not too tired - so lack of sleep must not bother him much. Just me, I guess!

Party - the last week has really been crazy. We had some days in the low 70s and then yesterday was a whopper - heat index of 100. Today the heat index will be about 99, I think I heard. But that's VA, you know! My husband cut about 2/3 of the grass yesterday morning and I cut the rest this morning. He left the part of the lawn that I can get with the riding mower for me and only a little bit that had to be pushed. Isn't he sweet? Keep checking the 10 day forecast on weather.com for how it will be July 4th. I use it all the time!
