***** Forever Foxes *****

[microChip]

Goooooooood evening foxes!

Lauren - WAY TO GO on the 100 lbs woohooooooo!!! You are doing such a great job - keep it up! I'm glad the elliptical is doing you good! We're all proud of ya here. Make sure you're just full and not stuffed when you're done eating ya know!

Nancy - ermmm ... I think I found a couple of bath towels that may be yours. Haven't seen rings or an umbrella though. I am not klepto - I think ... Glad your day ended on a positive note although sorry you had to work late. Hope Mark feels better soon! Congrat son the loss - although I hope the next lb. comes easier than the last!

Moncia - hope you got lots of laundry done today! I know I've still been trying to sort through everything here (I've got a load of towels - including Nancy's - in the washer now). I know what ya mean with the sweets - I had too much low-carb ice cream over the weekend! aCK!

Tina - don't worry 'bout the few lbs. from the trip - you'll get 'em off soon enough. Glad to see you'll be doing the elliptical - it's a great way to get a workount and a lot of fun (if you're insane like me anyway ). Keep up that water intake - it'll help you out!

John - I hope you had a great time at the reunion! Thanks for checking in!

Diane - I hope your checkbook is ok today! How has the start of your week been? What's up with snowmen in August? What'd you have to eat today?

Rhonda - glad you are weeding out the clothes you can't/won't wear - they're not doing you any good taking up space in your closet! It's a lesson I'm still trying to force myself to learn. I hope you have fun swimming in the pool! Enjoy your lunches/dinners with your friends!

Kim - Welcome back! It's great to see ya back here again. Glad you managed to get through all of the e-mail! It sounds like you had a great time on your vacation - congrats! Make sure all of the girls are drinking plenty of water and staying healthy at practices and games! Glad to hear the garden is going well - I'm jealous! Your posts always make me hungry.

Tarsha - I think you could teach folks if they were willing ... I'm not sure we were the best group to teach. How many meals did you have today? I confess I only had about 2.5 (four sticks of cheese and a diet coke does not make a breakfast :blush) but I'll be doing better the rest of this week. Thanks as always for the inspiration for the workouts.

Neeta - I hope things are going well for you - you are in my thoughts. Give me a call sometime.


Well, I had a great time at the reunion. I hit the beach Saturday & Sunday morning for a nice swim; also did some jogging Saturday morning, although not for as long as I should have - but it was still fun. I am going to try to jog at least a couple times a week on the gym track.

My family was really great. Several had not seen me since last year's reunion and they were very impressed with what I had done. It always feels good to get those compliments ya know? I am trying to figure out what my goal actually is for next year's reunion ... while I'd love to keep losing fast I'm not sure it's the best thing for my body. I think if I pushed myself I could get down to 200 (which is nearly my goal) but I'm wondering if 223 (half my former weight) is a better thing to shoot for.

Debbie (Carlini) made an interesting post regarding how much people want to weigh on New Year's Eve - if ya lost 1 lb a week you'd be about 22 lbs. lighter, about 45 if ya got 2 lbs. a week. I'm not sure I want to set a particular goal like that but if I lost just a bit more than a lb. a week I'd be around 250 by the end of the year and that would really be cool.

Today I've had way too much Diet Coke ... I need to cut back on that and get back on doing the water thing, which I will basically start again tomorrow. I did manage to have a meal at home today (made cheesesteak low-carb wraps), which is at least something. I need to clean out some old junk out of my fridge and buy some veggies and things.

I have updated my resume and am starting my job search; I don't know where I'll end up - whether it will be in Maryland or somewhere else - but I'm going to be looking until I find something I can live with. We'll see what happens.

Have a great night foxes!

Hi all,

Tina~I love the goals you have set! I definitely want to be at goal by the next Foxtrot. I only have 20 pounds to lose but I have been at the same weight for 3 months so this won't be easy. We will definitely hold you to your goals...make sure you post whatever you eat.

Monica~I can't imagine the mountains of laundry you have to go through since you washer was out of order. I hope you get to take a break soon!

Nancy~I'm glad you were able to square things out with your co-worker. And I'm glad you are feeling better. Poor Mark...I hope he feels better.

Lauren~So how are you celebrating losing 100 pounds? I hope you go out and buy one of those really expensive outfits you modeled for us some threads ago. Let us know how you celebrated or if you're celebrating...you better!

London~I'm glad you got a backup plan for the swimming pool. I recently discovered that I can't swim anymore since I have lost weight and gained muscle. I used to be an excellent floater...I could lay on my back for hours in the water. Well, at the campsite, I sunk like a rock. So now I have to actually learn how to swim. I think I will wait until next summer for that. Have fun with your friends!

Diane~How did the shopping go today? Did you get anything great? How is the eating going?

Chip~I had ham and cheese for breakfast and turkey and cheese for lunch. I discovered that when I don't eat all day, I'm not hungry. But when I eat breakfast and lunch, I was hungry all day. What's up with that? I believe I will go and buy some cheese sticks to combat the hunger. I 'm trying to stay away from the popcorn. Way to go with the jogging! Let me know when it gets easier for you.

Kim~Like Chip said, your posts makes me hungry and makes me want to cook more. Congrats on losing the vacation weight!

Hi to all lurkers!

Confession time:
When I came back from vacation, I weighed in at 184. That was enough to shock me back on plan which is what I did. As of this morning, I weighed in at 173. The bad thing about this is I know that when I'm bad, I can get back on plan and drop quickly which makes me want to be bad more often especially when I go out of town. As long as I'm Nashville, I'm good. The other thing is the scale will not leave that number!!! How is it you can drop 10 pounds in a week and do the exact same things and drop no more? I just don't understand my body.

I went to the gym tonight for weight resistance and a step class and I did 2000 meters on the rower. I should have measured my bat wings before I started the rower because I can definitely feel a difference.

Tomorrow is spin and maybe cardio dance or stair climber...I haven't done the stair climber since I been back and I'm overdue. Pretty much the same thing for breakfast and lunch...If I continue to be hungry like I was today, I'm going to have to use smaller portions and just eat throughout the day or something.

And that's pretty much what is going on in my world. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

[pokemom]

Well... You'd think that making the Century Club would have put me in fine spirits, but that would go totally against my nature. I should be like Ship and post song lyrics. Mine would be "Basket Case" by Green Day.

Nancy, I'm wondering if the umbrella is my fault... I'm thinking there might have been an extra umbrella when I returned the car, but I don't seem to have brought it home with me. Sorry I'm glad the meeting with the manager went well. What a relief. I hope Mark is feeling better soon.

Diane, did you buy anything???

Kim, Sounds like you had a great trip! I'm glad you made it through your e-mail. I had a similar experience when I returned from NY last week -- including one maddening listserv goof that everyone on the listserv felt compelled to respond to. That crackslaw sounds awesome, by the way.

Rhonda, I am totally intrigued by your workout, but the only place I have enough room to do it is in the living room and since the SO is up all night on the computer and the kids are up in the morning, I'd never have the privacy to do it. I'll have to live vicariously through you

Tina, you can totally hit goal this year! You managed to lose almost 100 pounds in your first year. Forty-four won't be a piece of cake, but that's less than a pound a week... Your goals are good ones. We'll do our best to keep you accountable.

Monica, I apologize for introducing you to LC chocolate. I know full well how addicting that stuff can be. I hope you get better control over it than I've been able to.

Tarsha, a lot of trainers recommend 5 or 6 small meals a day -- maybe about 250 to 300 calories apiece. That's what I'm working towards, although I've never quite been able to get it down. As for celebrating I didn't do a very good job of that. I probably should have gone shopping...

Chip, I saw Debbie's thread. What I wouldn't give to be back in the days where a pound a week loss was a realistic goal. I think you could probably pull off two pounds a week, though, the way you've been losing.

Speaking of which -- we should set a date for the next Foxtrot and visualize where we want to be by then. Assuming we do it in the summer, that gives us almost a year and we can do a lot in a year.

[TXLoser]

Good morning all.

I did buy something today but just wasn't as excited about the products this year...oh well there is always August 25 and they will do this again.

I have been having a hard time lately seeing the scale bounce up even though I was eating lc and exercising but I realized last week I was overeating.. when will I ever learn?????

I removed my 130 lb club avitar because I had bounced out of it and didn't think I deserved to have it up, but pleased that I have rejoined that group -- now to get to my low again and pass that up

I believe my thinking, whether it makes sense or not, was to eat bigger meals so I didn't have to snack -- thus overeating. Now my focus is portion control and eating six smaller meals and hopefully get back to eliminating the snacks while maintaining the smaller portions. I am not sure how or when I got off track...but I am back on now.

I made this over the weekend and even DH likes it -- who normally is anti-carb meals.

http://lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=361429

B - Leftover casserole
S - 1 slice chicken breast lunch meat string cheese
L - 1 chicken breast with Carbwell BBQ sauce
S - Coleslaw
D - Either chicken again or tuna with mayo

I am looking for protein snack ideas? Any suggestions??

I too saw Debbie's thread and really got me thinking. I really need to kick butt though because I have a 2005 goal to lose 60 and I am only half way there and time is going faster than my loss is...but determined to get as close to it as I can. If I can meet that goal it will cross me over into onderland....in which case no matter where you are you will hear me woo hoo..

Have a good day all

I made some new meals this week

[London]

Good Morning..My arms are sore from the weights yesterday..so no rower for me this morning I will do the Cardio Stip later today..and maybe go to the gym and water jog...

Diane I also struggle with portion control...The goods news is that you are aware of what is going on..Hang in there...Hope you have a good week....

Lauren..I have to do the workout in front of the computer right now..My DVD player died...I understand about wanting to do it alone..So I will shake my hips for both of us

Tarsha hunger is not a bad thing...Remember we do need to eat regular meals and snacks to keep our blood sugars stable. I bet you were suprised when you couldn't float...Sunds like the foxes have a project for next summer..Teach you how to swim.. Have a great day...

Chip thanks for starting the new thread..Way to go on getting in some exercise over the weekend As for losing more weight fast..Your body will help you decide how fast to lose it..You are right the weight loss will slow down...Good luck with the job hunt...

Hi Nancy, Tina, Monica, Kim and everyone else...Have a great day...

[Kim in MN]

Good Morning Everyone!
Couldn't do anything on the boards last night -- I think they were having server problems still from the afternoon.
I felt lousy last night -- tired, crabby and a bit of a headache. Sounds to me life a touch of carb-withdrawl. Hopefully it's outa my system today. I went to bed at 9PM which is early for me. Didn't sleep too good though -- still feel a little "off" today.

We had a crazy storm blow through about 6:30PM last night. I had just dropped dd off at VBS at church and it was raining/blowing so hard I couldn't see the street. Got home and our street was a raging river and 1/2 the yard was flooded over. Got a bit of water in the basement -- at least I won't have to water today.

My food menu today is the same as yesterday. After work I've got ortho appointments to get ds to, VBS (vacation bible school) to drop dd off and then soccer practice. I "excused" dd from soccer practice this week so that she can attend VBS -- she loves to go to it.

Feels good to be back -- gotta run though, need to update a spec before a meeting this morning. Have a great day!

Lauren thanks for jogging my memory. I think I left my umbrella in your vehicle!!! It was raining when we headed out for lunch, but not at our lunch stop. I only got back into your vehicle to say goodbye to the little Tropical Foxes. So it was all my fault!! :bluxh: ACK, sorry.

Diane.....how's about celery and cream cheese for a snack, or hard boiled eggs (or egg salad), tuna or your favorite canned chicken. Glad you are back in the 130 club!!
Yeah!!!!

I should have grabbed it. I don't know why I didn't... But then again, you're talking to someone who stuck her sneakers in a bag and probably tossed them in the trash rather than in a suitcase. And I just had to mail some of Ship's stuff to him because it was in a bag in my car and I didn't even look at it before stuffing it into my suitcase.

This settles it. We all have to move to the same neighborhood so that it's easier to return stuff.

[busymomX3]

Happy Tuesday, Fox Family!

I thought I better check in early before I start to tackle the laundry again. It didn't help that I was gone for almost 10 days, and then to come home to a broken washer. I'm not sure if I'll ever get caught up.

I took the kids back to school shopping yesterday for all their supplies. We only have one store here to buy them at and I was worried that they would sell out soon. They don't start until August 22nd, but they are very excited now that they have all the fun stuff. I still need to do the clothes shopping, which I may do online or may take a quick trip to Anchorage for in the next couple of weeks.

When do all the fox family kids go back? I know Corwin goes Thursday...tell him good luck and enjoy the 4th grade.

Pokemom, I would gladly move to a neighborhood that included the fox family. I miss you guys so much already and it's only been one week. I keep looking at my photos and remembering all the fun. Has anyone found a place to post the pictures yet? I'd be happy to get started on that if you want me to. Why would you pick the lyrics to that song? You doing okay?

Nancy, I'm sorry about your umbrella. I could send you mine ~ I think NY is the only time I have ever used it. We don't have very much rain here, although it did pour for a while yesterday. It looks like partly sunny today with some highs around 60. No, I didn't have "real" chocolate in NY, but it tasted so real, I could have easily been fooled. Unfortunately, I don't have any adverse effects, so I could be content eating an entire bar or bag in one sitting (which is why I won't be buying any more). How is Mark feeling?

Kim, it's great to have you back on here posting. I hope your carb-withdrawal-syndrome doesn't last long. I battled it over the weekend. I was starving and very sleepy and wanted to eat everything in sight. It was a hard thing to get through, but only after two days of eating clean, I feel back to normal. Sorry to hear about your storm ~ I hope the water in your basement isn't too bad. Do you have any great ideas for the FoxTrot 2006? Cabins, locations, or dates? I'm very anxious....

Rhonda, you are so awesome with your exercising! I have been a bad, bad fox with my gym membership. I figured someone would be asking me about it sooner or later. I really need to get on the ball and re-commit myself. I enjoy the gym, I love the results, but for some reason I feel lazy about getting down there. Got any great suggestions? You would think Dan's harassment about it would motivate me, but it hasn't yet.

Diane, well, what DID you buy today? We all wanna know! It sounds like you will have your portion control issues taken care of in no time. Your menu looks great and thanks for passing along the recipe. As for snacks, I am famous for celery and LC peanut butter, string cheese, LC yogurt, SF jello, ONE flax muffin , and sometimes just a piece of ham and cheese rolled up together. I usually eat 4-5 snacky type meals each day rather than one big meal. It really helps shrink my appetite. Great goals, btw!

Tarsha, I am impressed that you were comfortable confessing to us. That takes courage, especially when you see such a jump on the scale. Great job getting it back off already!!! Way to go! I am still up one pound as of yesterday's weigh in. This is my 3rd day back on plan, so I really hope by next week I can at least be where I was pre-NY. I baked 2 doz. flax muffins last night, so I'm glad to have my beloved mid-morning snack back. Have you done any baking? I ran into the same hunger problems when I eat breakfast, which is why I just stick with a shake in the morning. I can usually get by until close to lunch time with a piece of cheese or a muffin. Sounds like you're doing good...Keep up the good work!

Chip, it sounds like you had a great weekend at the reunion. Good luck with the job search ~ I'm sure there's something out there you will be happy at. I've been thinking a lot about goals lately too. I know my days of losing 1 lb or more a week are over, so enjoy them while you can. It seems like every pound at this point is such a struggle, but I know persistence will pay off. I have a feeling we'll all be near goal by the next foxtrot. It will be really cool to compare pictures from this year. How are you doing with the water today?

Tina, congratulations on the re-dedication. I had to do the same thing myself last Friday. I was feeling myself getting out of control again and that's a very scary feeling, especially when the scale is telling you so. I will help keep you accountable...we ALL will. That's what we're here for. So, keep posting your menus and telling us how it's going and we promise to kick your butt as necessary. How was swimming? Did you get in with them? I will be brave some day and actually swim in the pool with my girls. I did back when I was heavier, so I don't know why I hesitate now. Doesn't make sense. I hope work is going well and you are feeling okay.

Hello to John, Neeta, and anyone else that is peeking in!

As for scrabble practice, I am game for anyday, anytime....I need some serious practice, so if anyone is willing to play with me (the worst player in history), I would love to. I have to figure out the strategy ~ I really, really need to get back at Sharka.

I'll talk to you all later! Have a great day!
Monica

[busymomX3]

OMG!!! Look what I just came across....

It's the human washing machine complete with the spin cycle that NEVER ends!!! Bring back any memories??



I didn't want us to forget how much fun it was. This should help curb our appetites today.

Monica

[London]

Hi there..Its been another whirl wind day..Not..I shredded a bunch of stuff and weeded out a bunch of clothes hangrs..I did the cardio strip this morning..I think they should call it sweat and strip... It is a workout..at least for me...

Monica sounds like you are staying busy..I say take a trip to Anchorage..As for me working out..The hard part for me was joining a gym..Once I made up my mind to join..There was no stopping me..I feel better when I workout..My goal is to be as healthy as I can be..Plus there is a part of me that wants to be a little buff It also helps me deal with my anxiety level ..which tends to run on the high side...I days when I have to force myself to workout..Today was one of those days....

Lauren how is you day going?

Kim you are a busy woman..I don't think I could keep up with you..Sorry about the water in your basement..Hope it was not too big of a mess...

Nancy how are you feeling? Hope you had a good day...

Hi Chip, Neeta, Tina, Lauren, Tarsha and everyone else...

[manalu]

Another crazy day at work!! Fun, but crazy!! Stayed an extra hour again tonight.....volunteer time I met twin girls about 5-6 today. They were so cute in their identical dresses. The Mom was yelling at one of them, saying "I have had it with you today". I was just about to pass them in the hall of the hospital, and I said "oh you girls look too pretty to be in trouble". The one getting yelled at looked at me, walked over to me and hugged me. Then the other one came over and hugged me too. I said "oh I just love hugs, thank you". They were yelling goodbye to me as I walked away. I am not sure why these little ones would feel the need to hug a stranger I felt good about them hugging me, but really bad about it too.

Lauren~too bad you did not bring my umbrella to Hawaii. I would have to come retrieve it I keep forgetting to tell you how impressed I was with what your kids eat. Especially Corwin!! I saw him peel and eat shrimp, crab cakes and almost anything that was given to him...and then trying smoked salmon!! WOW!!! Usually kids don't want to try anything different. Good job Mom!! I don't like your song lyrics. Here are some you might like....I like them for you:
Trust in your heart, believe in your voice
You make the change when you make the choice
Dream up your destiny, own the plan
You know that you will, when you know that you can

Never give up, never give in
The ones who will work are the ones who will win
Create the impossible, answer the call
Go for your everything, give it your all

Be the star you are, the star you are
Be the star you are, you are the star

Make the journey, take the risk, ask for what you need
Turn setbacks into comebacks, believe and you'll succeed

Hold up your head, look for the signs
You'll find all you need in the light that shines
Believe in yourself in all that you do
And you'll be the star that's shining for you

Be the star you are, the star you are
Be the star you are, you are the star

Be the star you are, the star you are
Be the star you are, you are the star

[Keep daring, keep caring
Keep moving, improving
Keep giving, keep living]

You are the star
You are the star
(you are the star!!!)

Ok well now that I have taken up lots of room on the clean new thread, I will move along. I might be back for other personals however

[tina1973]

The scale still hasn't budged. I am 6 pounds heavier than when I left for the trip. The cravings are killing me, my will-power is diminished. I haven't the nerve to change my stats...I'm just too upset. Maybe some of it is TOM, I don't know...my clothes are tight...I'm miserable. TOM has been around for 8 days now, usually it's only 3-4... I'm so dizzy and tired all the time. I was sitting on the couch and Baldy moved it out to look for something behind it and I thought I was going to pass out. My head was spinning and my eyes went blurry. I guess some of it could be from ketosis...but I think alot of it is from anemia

My kids went swimming with their dad. I think he's upset that I didn't want to go, but honestly I just don't feel up to it. I think he's getting upset that I spend so much time on the thread...I can't help it that I "need" to post everyday...it keeps me sane

We're real short at work right now. One of the aides is out for a week. On Thursday it was just me and her on the schedule...now it's just me Right now we have 10 patients on rehab and 15 on acute, I don't know what we're gonna do. Hopefully some of them will go home tommorrow. Today was horrible. I know that death is just a part of life, but it's still tough to deal with even when you know it's for the best. This time is was a really great guy who has been a patient for quite awhile and I found him today...

Well...my menu for today was...
Breakfast:LC shake
Lunch: a cup of egg salad
Dinner: tuna with mayo and a cup of zuchinni
snack: a chunk of fresh pineapple (couldn't resist) it was a very small chunk

I've only drank 20 ounces of water...20 ounces of diet pepsi...
I know I need to drink my water...it used to be so easy, but even that has left me these days.

I hate how depression plays such a large role in life... It affects food, mood, and everything....

One good thing...a girl I work with brought me in some uniform tops...size medium I said "yeah right" but I tried them on and some of were tight...but some of them FIT So I wore one of them and I got so many compliments. People seem to notice more when clothes actually fit

So, have you all been wearing your tank tops at home? I haven't. I have not felt comfortable like I did when I was with you...I look at myself and think I look like a cow...it was so good when I was with you, I knew that you understood how I felt. You understood what I had been through to achieve my loss. You all had gone through it just like me....but it's gone now that I am at home....It's very depressing.

Anyway...to be continued for personals..wouldn't want to post too many images

[tina1973]

ok back....

Nancy...what nice lyrics. It sounds familiar, but I can't place it. I guess the girls just found comfort in you. Kids are good about knowing these things, they are a good judge of chacacter...

Monica...thanks alot for the reminder I was thinking about it when reading Chip's post a minute ago too I hope you get laundry done soon. It's one job I HATE doing...My kids go back to school the second week in September.

Rhonda...ANY kind of exercise is a workout for me. I wish I started when I first started this WOL...it would be much easier now and maybe I wouldn't have so much flab

Ship...what made me think of Coney Island is when you said something about being as insane as you and that "ride" popped into my head... I think the 4 of us were a bit insane that day...but John walked away...Must be the carbs... ....or the fact that he's not normal He couldn't be married to me for this long if he was normal...

Sharka...WTG Fitness Fox...you are an inspiration...

Lauren... You'll get out of this funk soon and be totally psyched like we are about your accomplishments

Diane...There's always Christmas in August or September or.... I think you deserve that banner. Just because you are not down 130 pounds right now, you were and you will be again..it's an amazing mark that YOU hit....and you have every right to claim it...

Kim...I think you make everyone hungry with your posts. Hungry for good food like you make. That will HAVE to part of the next Foxtrot...no way around it...you're cooking for us girl

Neeta...

Baldy... Luv ya...

to all the Foxes...

[London]

Tina..You need to go back to the Dr. I'm worried about you..Feeling like you are going to pass out all the time is not good..I know whwere you are coming from about the anemia..that is not good..Take Care of yourself..You are worth it...

Nancy love the lyrics for Lauren..Now of course the song is stuck in my head

We all need to celebrate ourselves and all that we have accomplished!

[tajuan]

Hi all,

Quick post from me tonight...I have "cookie duty" tomorrow which means I have to bake cookies and pass them out to the whole company. So far I have manage to avoid the cookies...that will be the case tomorrow.
I was late for cardio dance class so instead I jogged on the treadmill and even did some climbing...I had the incline level up to 12. I think I was out of breath more from climbing then jogging. Then I did a spin class and a little ab work.

I have manage to keep busy to avoid that "depressing" feeling. But like you guys, it tried to come over me after I returned home from the trip. And believe it or not the urge to have the wrong foods is stronger than before. But, again, I manage to keep it at bay. Seeing 173 again helped also and the desire to completely get out of the 170s is keeping me together.

I do hope everyone's week gets better and if you don't see it happening, you should MAKE it better...go out and do something special for yourself.

Have a great night!

[pokemom]

Hey Foxes!

Just a quick post from me tonight. I guess I shouldn't have mentioned "Basket Case" because it apparently read wrong. The song generally makes me feel silly for whining and being melodramatic, so I was mocking myself more than feeling sorry for myself. I'm okay -- I've just been creating chaos where there doesn't need to be any, but I think that has passed.

Food and exercise were good today. I'd skipped the gym the last couple days, but I went with a coworker during lunch today and made plans to go with him again on Thursday. Tomorrow I'm starting later to cover an afternoon meeting, so I can hang with Sloane and get a workout in before work. That will probably be the last time for a while, since Corwin goes back to school on Thursday.

I can't get to personals tonight, but I do have to echo Rhonda's advice to Tina: You have to go see a doctor.

[Kim in MN]

Good Morning Foxes!
It's not getting any easier to get up in the morning when my alarm goes off! UGH -- time to go back on vacation!

Soccer practice went well last night. I had one parent who ranted that I changed practice time from 6PM on Sunday and then had it at 7PM last night. He said "I should stick to one time and not confuse the parents". Uh, I get field time when I can get it and with over 3,000 kids in this program I'm happy with what I can get. What a toon! Whatever!

Tonight I need to finish the mountain of laundry from vacation. It's all washed, just not folded. Thinking I'll assign that to one of the kids today. Plus, I really need to get back out in the garden and weed.....and probably "harvest" again.

Today's menu:
B: 2 eggs, 2 sausage
L: crackslaw
D: tilapia, tossed salad w/Ranch

Gotta get to work this morning so no time for personals, but agree with everyone else Tina that you need to at least call your doctor today! Take care of your health!

Have a great Wednesday everyone! I hope tonight I'll have a chance to get back online for personals.
