Good Morning All! Well, DD is back at school, DH is away on a business trip until tomorrow (then leaves again on Thursday), and the 40+ bags of trash from the weekend of uncluttering are out for the trashmen. The day is mine! I have some running I want to do, that is just for me, so that will take up some of my day. The rest I will spend doing just as I please. I'm not even sure what that's going to be just yet.
Chris, Make sure to take a little time away from the books to enjoy that Harley! Very cool.
I will have time to check in later today.
's to everyone. Have a BEST OP day!

Good Morning Chris and Nancy & everyone to come.
Sorry I missed yseterday but I was busy planning my 6 week body makeover. I went to the grocery store and it is just like articles I have read many times shop the perimeter of the store. This makeover is based on body types and metabolism. It also stresses the elimination of sugar and salt. Eating 6 times a day is the goal. I think all I did yesterday was eat, DH wants to know how I will lose this way. The first week you can do a minimakeover which includes 45 min of fat burning exercise, well I could only last 20 minutes walking. I will try to add 5 min a day. The goal of the mini is to lose 1 pant size by Friday. THe scary part of all of this is you have to take a front back and side pictures of yourself and then make marks on it as to what you want to change over the 6 weeks. Front pic wasn't so bad ( Isee that every day) but the side view and back were just plain nasty.

Well off to my egg whites and grapefruit.

Good OP to everyone, I now can join you!

Good morning all

A fresh new week to try try again. No rain yet today. So I will try to walk outside today. Then head to the gym to do .

Chris -- wow a Harley did you have good weather over the weekend to go for a ride?

Nancy -- what I would give to have a day to myself. have a great day.


Nano -- good luck this week with the start of your body makeover. Sounds like you a very prepared and you have a good mind set.

GOD BLESS

Good morning.

Beautiful out right now...but rain's coming. Well, it beats all the snow, ice, and freezing cold of this winter!

Breakfast was just oatmeal, cran juice and coffee. I'll have my orange with lunch at the seminary...usually I can make myself a nice salad dish there with some protein thrown in (yeah like garbanzos) to keep me perkin' through the afternoon's LONG class.

We have a meeting here this evening and ordered wraps for it. I'm having a fresh mozzarella wrap w/roasted onions/peppers, and salad. Probably will indulge in a nice pastry for dessert.

ambushed me yesterday and I really ate dumb most of the day. :snort: Didn't work out either, just took a short walk

Chris, can't wait to hear about how your ride goes on the new Harley!

Nano, all the best on the makeover. You seem to have things well-planned out. That seems to be the secret of any OP-ness, to have a flexible plan.

Nancy, your day sounds wonderful! Isn't it great to have a ME-day every so often? And congratulations on the 3500 days of walking...that is truly awesome.

RED, I hope your week goes well OP-wise and every way.

Well, must get to work here. I only have till around 10:30, because I've got a chiro appt at 11am, then to the seminary for lunch, then class 1:30-4:30, back here for Evening Prayer and then a meeting for most of the evening.

BEST to all who'll post later and to all who'll lurk!

Blessings.

Good morning ladies!!!!! Yes, I am back from my weekend jaunt meeting up with 3 of my former CTer's. We had a lovely time. One of the ladies was really impressed with my OPness. I proved to myself that I can do this for the rest of my life even when all others around me are not. It is a lovely day today so I will be going for a nice walk. Curves will be Tues., Wed., Thursday this week.

Chris!!!!! And may you have many, many more......

A big to all of you who have posted and those of you who will. I have some more painting to do today along with laundry so I am off. By the way, Sandi, we paintied the walls a sort of light mocha color with very off white ceilings and trim. Looks much warmer then the all off white.

Emily

Good afternoon, all!

It's a bright beautiful day here. I really enjoyed my walk in the park this morning.

Happy Birthday, Chris!

Nancy, Wow! 3500 days - you are my walking hero!

Emily, we got a little sidetracked this weekend so the painting isn't done yet... Yours sounds great!

Marlene, I agree! I'll take the rain any day as opposed to the cold stuff!

Nano, Red, Toni - hope you're having a great day!

I was OP all weekend and will be today. I exercised, walked and rode this morning. Had fiber and potassium for bfast, chicken salad for lunch and have a stew simmering away in the crockpot for dinner.

I hope everyone is enjoying this glorious Monday!

In regard to the Harley, oh yes I took about an hour or so off yesterday to cruise with DH..........such a great ride and the weather was about 90 + degrees........it was gorgeous, no smog, no traffic, just back road through farms and such........I never new you could put a couch on wheels and call it a Harley! So, glad that we were able to produce a dream come true for my DH.......... He has earned it..........

Okay, who let the "cat" out of the bag ............ I was certain I would squeak by without mention of the OLD B-day..... Thank you for the wishes.............I will celebrate by taking an extra 15 minutes on study breaks this evening........ ha ha ha ha ha

Speaking of which I got home from lab, had some lunch (salad and a few (honest) tortilla chips) and stopped in here and now back to the books..........Big first exam this Thursday!!!! YIKES

God Bless you all!

Chris
