Tuesday WLS Express!

Good Morning Train!

WOOHOOOO for Tuesday!  I'm up and at 'em and going strong this morning!  That headache from yesterday is still niggling around in my head, but I'm not going to let it get me down!  Got my Chocolate Velvet coffee ready to go and I'm ready to tackle a new day!

Prayers are going out to all that need them!

It's sing-a-long time!  You may not know the band, it's Pilot, but I know you'll know the song... Magic....

Ho, ho, ho
It's magic you know
Never believe, it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light

I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light

Ho, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so 

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

 Hello Train

I intend to have a beautiful day today.  One of my best girlfriends took a week of vacation off work and today we are doing mani/pedis and lunch.  We were going to get a massage also but my tummy is still not up to lying face down on a table for that long...especially with pressure on my back. 

When I get home I'll dive into the kitchen.  I got a HUGE dent yesterday and feel great about it.  If I can get everything done but the floors so Clint can mop for me this weekend I'll be happy.

Going to bake some tonight...Protein spice donuts with white chocolate glaze.  YUM!

Have a super day.

I'm enjoying life back in "civilization" this week!  OK, keep the traffic.  Get to stop at the "crack shack" on the way to my class. 

 Morning Karen and TMB,

Prayers needed for my middle son.   He is ending his relationship ( or said he was last night ) with his GF and moving back home.   Please keep him and US too in your prayers.    Today is going to be good in spite of me having to deal with my MIL this AM.   I hopped on the hag this AM and I was down 1 lb. from yesterday.   I know...big deal 1 lb. BUT when you are almost 5 yrs. out every lost lb. is a big deal.   LOL   I only got about 4 hours sleep last night so I know that there will be a nap in my future.  Gee.....I need some coffee I have been up 2 hours and not had any coffee yet.  LOL  Have a blessed day and stay out of trouble everyone if you can.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 This is a good thing - huh?      a possible  "start over to life "  

 

 UGH   now he is not so sure about the breaking up part.   I wish this kid would QUIT stressing me out !!!  They are moving from the apartment though.   Not sure where since he is jobless and about to be without our truck too.  I am also really stressed over the tests I am having done on thursday.

Viv...will keep good thoughts and prayers for your family!

Yesterday was my 1 yr checkup up. Dr. G was very pleased with my progress, although he's still preaching 10,000 steps a day! My labs were very good, in fact my Iron and B vits are WAY off the chart. I need to get everything logged into the sptreadsheet so I can make heads or tails from it all but I don't think I'll be doing much more than some minor tweaks to my vitamin schedule.

I also saw the NUT while I was there and got a MedGem test to see what my RMR is. I've been yo-yoing this same couple of pounds for the last 2 months so I figure it's about time to get some official numbers to see what's going on. Sort of expected....I'm not eating enough calories, although it seems like I eat all the time! So for the next 4 weeks I'll be increasing my calories about 200, maybe more, and adding more carbs to see what happens. One thing Dr. G said was not to worry about carbs that come from fruits and veggies. Scary for me, I'm such a carbophobe!! I fully expect to gain weight, although I do understand the 'why' behind doing it, but we'll see!

While I was on that side of town I stopped at the HUGE HEB store and had lunch in their cafe. I should have just walked around the store and nibbled the samples, could have saved some$$!! Ya'll know how the Houston traffic is...always contruction somewhere! So of course I had to get into the thick of it at I-10 and 45. By the time I got home my nerves were wasted...I crashed! Beast woke me up about 7:30...too late to get to the Pasadena Support meeting. Dammit...I didn't want to miss another one!

The washer repair guy is here right now. Remember that brand spanking new washer that was the replacement for the old one (if 3 yrs is old!)? Well, it decided to stop working last Friday. Why didn't I just replace it with an old mechanical one dial top loading washer?!?!  Update: According to Martin the Repair Guy, the motor mount is cracked so the motor gets out of sync and the belt falls off. IF he can find the parts locally he'll be back Thursday, If not it'll be 3-5 working days to get a new one in. Lucky me! Time to get the old camp washer out so we can at least have clean undies!

Have a great day...prayers for all!

Thanks so much Dee..I appreciate it !!!    Glad your check up went so well.  

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
