1. What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? Any weekend plans? I like to read and ride my motorcycle.  This weekend we're heading up to a cabin on a lake.  Its a buddies of Toms and I haven't been there before so it should be fun.  Weather is supposed to be very nice.

2. If you hit the lottery what would you do with the money?  First, pay off my bills.  2nd, pay off Toms bills, 3rd pay off my parents' bills... I think you get it.... 

3. Struggles/Victories this week?  Victory:  Been taking my iron - yea!  Also been getting my protein in. Eating pretty good and getting my fluids in. Cleaned out my closet (just shirts I didn't wear anymore, need to do the pants but don't want too).  Struggles:  more family/personal struggles going on I'm dealing with.  Still having too many of my adult beverages.  I know if I cut them out this extra weight would fall off. 
 

1 - relaxation -----sitting in a porch swing holding hand with my sweetheart (we're newlyweds...only been married 35+ years....but he's still my sweetheart!)  weekend plans...having the grandsons over all weekend (3 & 5 years old)

1.  What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? Any weekend plans?

Gardening and my ponies.  No plans really.  I hope my knee will allow some pony playing but I also need to do something with tomatoes from the garden and figs I got yesterday.  Didn't get much paperwork done and that will take some time too.

2.  If you hit the lottery what would you do with the money?

Pay off bills and get all the stuff done that I've been putting off.  Do some traveling with my pony.

Great questions, Jody!

1. What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? Any weekend plans?

I relax reading OH, and hot tubbing, but not at the same time, lol.  Nothing planned for the weekend, but something always comes up that's fun.

2. If you hit the lottery what would you do with the money?

I would pay off my bills, get rid of my two university student's loans and buy them each a car.  Install a heated inground pool, take many vacations, retire.......

3. Struggles/Victories this week?

It was a short week in Ontario (Monday was a civic holiday), but a very busy one.  I was busy with month end in accounting as well as partially replacing the Credit Manager.  It's almost over and I haven't killed anyone, that's a victory!  Struggling to lose 5 lbs and not really trying hard enough.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Jody and everyone.

1.  What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? Any weekend plans?
I love to read, wish I could just sit on the beach in a chair and read all day.
Like this country song says - I wish my only worry was if the water was going to hit my chair!!
We are at my parents and will be heading home tomorrow.  Suppose to go swimming at my sisters tonight after Zumba.

2.  If you hit the lottery what would you do with the money?  I don't play it either, but DH does - surely he would let me have some of it.  I would give to the church, buy us this house we would like to have, help my kids with their houses so they could have more money to do other things like have more grandbabies!!

3.  Struggles/Victories this week? Struggles are being at my mom's house and she thinks she has to cook everything you used to like to eat - cinnamon strusel cake that smells and taste wonderful.  Victories - had my 2 year check up and it went really good.

1.  What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? Any weekend plans?

IMC is only 4 weekends away so this weekend I am going to do a very, very long bike ride as well as run and swim. But today I'm taking off because I just don't feel like doing anything. If I can make myself, I might drive down to Santa Cruz to swim around the pier.

2.  If you hit the lottery what would you do with the money?

Pay off all my bills and put a bun*****ollege funds for my kids.

If there was any leftover, I'd by a tri bike ($4000-8000) and I'd put on my 5k that I'm working on with no entry fees for the participants. I'd also give a bunch to charity. Oh and buy an RV.

3.  Struggles/Victories this week?

I updated my resume and my phone is ringing off the  hook with people interested in me for senior level positions. It's actually a bit  overwhelming.

 1.  What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? Any weekend plans?

No plans this weekend.  I am starting to swim and bike so that is good for relaxation.  I also like going to thrift stores and garage sales.  I was going to say that spending time with the grand kids is relaxing but with a 2 year old and a one year old it is hard to relax.

2.  If you hit the lottery what would you do with the money?

I don't play the lottery but if I did, lots of plastic surgery, teeth fixed, pay the rest of my bills, buy a house, get a cook, help my kids, get a nice car, the possibilities are endless.


3.  Struggles/Victories this week?

Went to water aerobics 4 times this week.  Rode my bike about 3 or 4 times.  Got another cruiser bike with speeds to go on longer treks.
I need to put on some weight.  I hit 107 today.  I am only like 2 lbs away from underweight.  I am not trying to lose any more weight.  I feel that I eat pretty good but I don't have much of an appetite so I have to remind myself to eat.  There is a part of me that doesn't want to see the scale go up but I hate the way I feel about myself at this weight.  I don't think my boyfriend is attracted to me at this weight.  He likes women with a little meat and he has been making comments like asking how exercising will help me gain weight and things like that.  I'm not exercising for weight loss, just to help me emotionally.
I am going to start having 2 protein fruit smoothies a day and see if that helps.  I make my smoothies with strawberries, raspberries and banana, along with Greek yogurt, protein powder and I may add some cottage cheese in there.  Since I still can't eat alot I am able to drink more so that should help.  I know that if I started back on the refined carbs the weight would pile back on but I refuse to do that so I am trying to add healthy carbs and fats wherever I can.
