Re: Monday Roll Call 1/21/08!

What do you do with the cats when you go out of town? I have a couple and I've been wondering what I should do if I need to go out of town. Let them stay at home where there are happy and just have someone come over and feed them twice a day? Are cats okay with that?

I have a dog and a cat who are both very well behaved. Whenever I go out of town I just have someone come over and take care of them. Pets prefer to be in an area that they are comfortable with and the closest you can keep them in routine the better. They are gonna miss you and would like to have your scent around them as much as possible. Animals are so sweet

and since everyone is showing off pictures of their pets:



This is my Lunna - she is trying to look cute so she can steal some pizza



This is my Flower sleeping on my boyfriend's shoulder <3

Pets are the greatest gift from God. We can learn a lot from them.

Sandy I am so sorry to hear about the car accident! How scary for you and your family! I'm very glad to hear though that everyone is ok. I do also agree with evermind. We cant always control what happens to us but we can control what we do to ourselves.

I've already done my workout today! I bought a new excercise video at the dollar store of all places and it was really really excellent. 50 mins that had cardio and strength training. The only thing I didn't like was between each segment it would cut to a doctor talking about excercise. It's like hello thats what I'm trying to do right now would you be quiet please? Annoying but tolerable. I want to get the other ones that I saw.

Hope everyone has a good clean day and stay warm, it's cold out there!

Thanks so much, everyone, for posting pics of pets. I am thoroughly enjoying them.

Love all the pet pics! Thanks everyone!

Today's going good and NO DIET MT DEWS!!! I did buy some fruity flavored diet rites in case I have the urge-they will be here and I won't run and get Diet Dew! I've been cutting down a little at a time and think I can do it now. I've almost gotten my water minimum in and Horseradish Hamburger Pie in the oven! Having that and green beans for supper-ummm!

OK....look at what you started JESS! LOL. Here is my contribution to the pet photo gallery. This is our Golden Retriever "Leica" doing what he does on Saturday's around here.

Re: Monday Roll Call 1/21/08!

And now, a word for Sandy:

Sandy, your life has more crises than most. I notice that you're off plan again. Here's the deal: These crises are there to tell you that you are not able to control what happens in life. They are NOT here to tell you that you are unable to control how you HANDLE what happens in life.

You cannot control your daughter's or son's health, or your husband's employment, or yours. But you CAN control what you put in your mouth. You CAN control how you respond to crises -- and that should be by NOT eating carbs. You CAN control how you treat your own body. You CAN.

So, Sandy, it's time to take control of what you CAN control, and by so doing, model for your children how to handle life's insanity. We're all here to help. You've got incredible strength and courage - we know that already by the number of times you've picked yourself up and climbed back on the wagon. What we need you to learn is that you don't need to keep falling off every time there's a bump or a rut in the road. You can hang on, and get where you want to be.

We love you, Sandy. You've got this enormous cheering squad right here! I'm passing out pompoms as soon as I finish typing.

Thanks Evermind..that is really sweet and you are right.. Its been a crazy month.. Sometimes I want to run away... I was thinking that today why I let life get to me... Right now we are having a VERY hard financial time...I haven't been to the grocery store in a few weeks..so we are very low on food.. I know I could be doing better with what I have been eating.. TOM is here right now so its hard to get myself back in gear

I don't know you Evermind, but I loved that post!

Re: Monday Roll Call 1/21/08!

Good evening all.

Sandy - I think Evermind has it right. Even if you can't eat on plan (I totally get the financial thing), try not to over do it and make sure you exercise.

Evermind - You are such a fabulous cheerleader. I'd like a set of pom poms too please.

HopeJoy - Congrats on the new decade.

I love seeing all of the pictures of everyone's pets. Hubby wants to get a lab puppy but I am hoping to convince him to do a rescue of "teenager" that is already house broken and through the worst of the chewing phase.

I am on plan - had chicken salad and side salad for lunch and Mock-Cauli Fried Rice for dinner. I love that. If you haven't tried it, you need to.

Have a lovely evening all.

Re: Monday Roll Call 1/21/08!

Checking in - even though it's the end of the day.....

Weighed in at 113 today - Ran 3.31 miles yesterday and today had Spin. I was called out of it 5 min before it ended, kiddie #3 had a rash on his trunk.
My tailbone is SO SORE! I would have thought my hiney & parts would have gotten used to the seat (or lack thereof) Ouch my butt!
Tomorrow is lunch with a pal I used to work with (small chef salad, no egg with ranch - yippee) and running followed by yoga. I ran 45min yesterday, I'm going to push it to 50+ and see how far I get. I would really like to make it to 4, we'll see!

Have a good night!

Checking in here myself, end of the work day.

Day 3, everything is 100% on target, no cheating, no thought of cheating, no temptations even walking through the supermarket. Feels great.
