WELCOME TO TERRIFIC TUESDAY YA'LL!!!

Good am, How are ya'll doing? Wonderful I hope. How was your Monday? Mine was jam packed which is honestly the way I like things right now. Spent time doing chores, managed to get out and run a couple errands, got in some walking and managed to get into bed pretty early (rarity).  What's on the books for today? For me, its chores, writing some more, getting by the post office, catching up with some friends and walking. I really enjoy nature so much. It gives me the best outlook/attitude change when I'm in nature. Even when its cold I do it although you might see me hauling rear a little faster but I feel so refreshed. I'm looking to have my painting framed which I got for Valentine's Day. So, I'll be pricing that as well. Its one of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen and have wanted it since I laid eyes on it.  Are you awake? Sippin' your fav cuppa, protein drink? Are you smiling? Have you taken a look in the mirror today and said "you know what today is going to be a GREAT day because I'm choosing for it to be?" Have you called a friend you've not spoken to in a while? Sent a friendly message? A note? A card? Have you reached out to someone you don't know just to make them smile? Hope everyone has a TERRIFIC Tuesday and enjoys some nature time if possible! All best...

You truly are a special person... I can't wait to get to know you better.  Have a wonderful day...Tootles

Good pm, Thanks! That's really very nice to hear/see. Hope you're day is GRAND!

Morning, Not much going on today. I feel the need for a movie and just being lazy. Today one must on my list is to order more Nectar iced tea protein. Currently sipping on my first cuppa java. The second one I mix in vanilla protein powder and a little splenda. I'd love to try more flavors of Achiev One but don't want to buy a whole case. Moca Java just didn't make it for me! I'm so enjoying the return of many birds to my feeders. The daffodils are blooming and spring is springing Thanks for the reminder to reach a friend. There is someone from here I miss a lot. Enjoy this day we have been given!

Good am Jen, Yeah me too actually. I'm not functioning well this am. I've just come from grabbing my cuppa. I am going to get things done around here & get in touch with some folks. Enjoy your day!

Hello Beautiful!!!!  Enjoy those busy fun filled days but remember to give yourself some me time.  I know what it is like to get overloaded. On the books for today, back to the courthouse.  My court system really likes me, I got picked on another jury.  Not sure yet what is on for the evening. I need some prayers though.  One of my sisters is in the hospital with some issues right now, gallbladder needs to come out, there is an embedded stone that is causing problems with liver functioning, and pancreaitis (sp?).  They wanted to scope her & try to get the embedded stone out first then wait a few days to take the gallbladder but they couldn't get the scope where they wanted to.  She is scheduled for an MRI this a.m. to help get the details they need.   She is struggling as they won't let her eat or drink anything because they are afraid it will aggrivate everything, she is stuck in the hospital bored & lonely, and has 3 little ones at home that she is missing.  I appreciate the prayers. Well gotta go finish getting ready.  Have a great one!!!!!!

Good am Courtney, Agreed! I will take it easy...some what! Oh lovely day at the courthouse! Prayers are for sure coming your way. I sure hope they get to the bottom of things and get her feeling better. Enjoy! Love ya!

Good Morning sounds like you had a fun filled day and one ahead for me well not sure it will be fun but full, Im on my way in for some appts. for this  school but not directed in school long story so lord knows how long that will be I just know its w/ a cranky person so keep me in your prayers lol, to keep my cool. then home to do some chores and take care of some bills and then back out this eve. to a meeting w/ the ding dong Avon is calling girls lol (the junk person) as Im called lmbo wont go there just a lil private joke. But then I also could use prayer for the morning (Wed.) I have to fast  until 10:00 am for blood work finaly to find aout about these spells Ive been having, the shakes, stuttering, I stumble around worse than a drunk person (no pune ment) Its serious and very  scarey I have been having issues for sometime but they have worsened and the shaking w/ my hands and I feel overwhelmed when this happens and have no clue where there coming from they just  come from out of the blue so there finaly getting me in after 6 months of mr b******g about it. So lets hope its nothing major. I love you all and hope you all have a wonderful day and be sure to tell that someone there loved and give a hug today.  Sorry for the rant...     

Good am Melinda, Just take the appointment in stride. I know its a pain but exhausting the avenues is best. As for Wednesday girl I have been there with all the fasting, poking, proding etc. I pray they find out what's going on. Hugs to you...

Good Morning.....

Now that things have quieted down a bit at work......

Not much to write home about for today.  Having lunch with a few friends - can't wait!  And that's about the highlight of my day (and it's a GREAT highlight).  I am in kinda a funk right now, and I need to come out of it.  It's impacting my motivation for running.  I get on, and cannot bring myself to staying on.  BUT...I am at least doing something.  I get on the ellipticle to get my workout in.  So, I'm not being a total lump - haha. I think my motivation is caused by my having a hard time finding balance.  In the past 4 weeks, I have gained 8 pounds of water weight and it is ticking me off.  I've talked to several trainers who have all said pretty much the same thing....eat more, stop weighing yourself and because I am now using different muscles in dance class they are holding onto the water.  End point, basically....I'm TOO active - haha.  According to my fitday.com reports, on average, I burn over twice as many calories as I take in. But, I feel like why bother - I'm gaining weight.  That's NOT the right attitude.  I KNOW that....and the trainers all told me to hang in there, once my body become adjusted it will go back down.   Fortunately, I chatted with others on the exercise board who are having the SAME problem - they have the same activity level and calories input as I do.  So...must be something there. Interesting, though...I did not workout last night and my weight did drop 3 pounds.  So...again...it just validates what I was told.  But...man...it's frustrating.  Clothes fit fine - getting a little snug int he arms, but my arms look GREAT because of the muscle tone.  But everything else fits just like it always has.  Hubby says, pants are baggy in the rear....I'll take that! Then...on top of that....I did not have my TOM this month.  So, I go from every 2 1/2 - 3 weeks to nothing at all.....WHAT IS MY BODY TELLING ME?????? Ok...enough of my whining.....hope you have a GREAT day.  I promise to get motivated before I leave work so I can run today - haha.
