4th of July Roll Call

Re: 4th of July Roll Call

Holy Moly! It's over? Wow! That's great and glad it went well!!!
I just got up! It's 9am my time... was super tired last night but couldn't sleep, thank goodness for ambien or I'd have been up all night and felt worse today... It's because I had diet coke yesterday which I don't normally do... but while we were waiting for AAA at a gas station I went inside... really wanted chips or ice cream, but bought some nuts and a diet coke instead... then was fine. But later got the migrain... felt like a vise was on my head... so glad to wake up with all that gone. It's a new day. Hubby is working on finding a mechanic, later we'll go the beach. Maybe see a movie... then find some fireworks... maybe at the high school... both kids have to work. Hate how their schedules are opposite of ours... hardly ever see much of either one of them.

Hi STACers, Happy 4th of July!

It sounds like everyone is in good spirits and positive moods, that's great. Today *is* a new day, and what are you gonna do with it!?

TOM is in full force today, and I wanted to do nothing more than curl up on the couch, BUT I forced myself (and I rarely have to force myself) to exercise, and I did a 4 mile run. My boyfriend said the parade was starting early this morning, and I kept pushing myself, thinking that I did *NOT* want to end up in the 4th of July Parade, running in my SweetTarts boxer shorts. I did my 4 miles in 36 minutes with NO KNEE PAIN! Whoohoo...looks like I'm back to officially being a runner! This totally made my day.

Have a great day everybody, and STAY LEGAL at those BBQs!

Hi again.... My daughter helped me post my picture... yeah for Sarah! Feel a little exposed showing all my fat... there's a thin me inside I know... oh, well, now we are off to the movies... gonna eat some broccoli and cheese before I go. Have to stay off the diet soda too due to feeling of being on the edge of another migrain again.... Happy 4th.

Re: 4th of July Roll Call

A mere 6 miles!!! I think that is awesome I know how hard you must have worked to build up to being able to do that. Way to go Jess. Hopejoy I am so glad you got your picture posted. It made me get up off my butt and put mine up on the board finally. It is just another step for me in making this journey "more real" and making me feel more committed. Julirama, good for you for pushing through and getting things done even though you didn't exactly feel like it. I bet it was worth it in the end!

Re: 4th of July Roll Call

Hey, everyone! Late again, which, lately, has been usual. Sounds like everyone has great plans for the 4th. We took it quiet, today. I had to work preparing for summer school. My dh had to work - truck drivers don't get most holidays off. (Mine only gets Thanksgiving and Christmas off.) And my ds HATES fireworks - scares him to death, even the sparklers. Our local county boosters always has a family friendly festival/picnic with live music, food, games, and such on a Saturday sometime around 7/4. So, this year it's this Saturday (7/7) and we plan on going to that instead.

Been good about keeping up the exercise. Still struggling with water, but don't really know why.

Hope everyone had a great holiday! (Julie -love the new pic! And Jess, congrats!)
