Warm and wonderful Wednesday

Good Morning Sleepyheads! I'm just posting quickly, mostly to stay in touch during this busy week.
I'm down to crunch time for the reunion, so I'm busy, busy, busy now. But the rains have stopped. The list of to-do's is getting shorter. And I'm getting close to saying, "Hey, let's have a party".
I'll probably not make Chat tonight, unless today goes really, really well. I'll try and check in again later to see how everyone else is today.
Have a BEST OP day!!!

Good Morning, I am working hard to stay OP. I will be checking out Curves next week. Used the treadmill last night and plan on using it again today or better yet maybe I'll walk outside it seems the rain has stopped. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Morning BEST!!

Marden, cool that you're trying Curves! There are lots of Curvacious, bodacious BEST gals. Enjoy your walk in the sunshine.

Nancy, you are SO busy!!! But it will be worth it & when all is said & done you will have had a wonderful party with family and your house will be in top form. Nice! You must be getting TONS of exercise with all the work you're doing. Enjoy the .

Things are still very hectic around here. Major household appliances are in working order, though we had another scare with the washer..broken belt was all it was this time.

Today I am going to my first ever Yoga class! Yipeeee! I've done a tape but never attended a class so I'm super excited. A friend is taking me with her. You know something funny, I feel like I'd better do my tape before I go, I am so stiff & tired in the morning! Do yoga to prepare for yoga...whatevah!

Supper will be salad & leftover spaghetti. Lunch, probably Desk's tasty tuna. I will actually be home alone for a while today which will be the first time since I don't even know when. I really need to be here alone & cleaning. So yoga & cleaning will be my exercise today. Iced tea is making itself right now. I am OP!

BIG HUG to all my BEST sisters, whether posting or lurking! Have a great day today.

See ya in chat!!

Good morning

Well, the sun has not made it here yet, gray & drizzle-y, but that's OK with me as I am heading upstairs to try and remove an old wallpaper border off the soon to be a painted "new" guestroom (formerly one of the boy's room).

Cool enough here last night to have a fire in the fireplace...I think everyone in the neighborhood had some form of wood heat going!

Xena - wow - time alone...how cool for you!

Nancy - sending you <<<power thoughts>>>a nice sunny weekend for your family reunion.

BSQ - hope your sinus problems have calmed down.

Take care

Hello ladies! Still damp and dreary here but the rest of the week looks promising. I have been OP and drinking lots of water but the gained 3 pounds is only down to 2. I feel as though I am at some sort of plateau and I need to kick it up a notch as my future SIL reminded me that there are only 102 days left until the wedding. Yikes! Hubby and I will take another brisk walk tonight. He told me yesterday that all his muscles ached I worked him so hard on our walk the other night. Have a good OP day all of you posters and lurkers alike!!!!!!


Emily

Hi again....

Emily...how about instead of "only 102 days left" there are over 3 months, and divide all your goals & to do lists over the 3 moths. Of course I'm a great one to say this, as I always leave things to the last minute!

Good morning, all!

Nancy, the reunion is going to be wonderful!

Marden, I always enjoy walking outside when the weather allows. I dread the winter when I'm stuck in the kitchen on the dreaded treadmill...

Xena, how was yoga class? You really are on a roll with these appliances!!!

Bliss, isn't it fun making the kid's rooms over when they leave the nest?

Emily, I agree with Bliss - think of it as over three months. That makes things sound much more doable than when you term it in days! And I can't believe you're complaining about only losing a pound since Monday - isn't today just Wednesday???????

I was OP yesterday and will be today. Bfast was Crackling Oats, lunch is going to be a bean concoction, dinner is hubby's - so something grilled. I had a nice walk in the park, did my 8MMs and have done fifteen miles on the stuck bike so far this morning.

Haven't had a bp pill since Monday and have been monitoring my bp - no change so far. Still staying low.

Have any of you had a stress test? The one on the treadmill? How long a time do you walk and at what speed? Just wondering what I'm up against here.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful OP Wednesday!!

Sandi, That was a pound loss of one of the 3 that I gained over my vacation. To put it more plainly I weigh the same now that I did about a month ago so you see where I am at???


Emily

Hi all
Well, not a very successful day for me today. Food hasn't been too bad for me, but haven't used the trusty old bike today. Gonna do 20 mins after DDs in bed, whilst Law and order is on, then a nice hot bath, and then bed for an early night. Basically, my problem is that I am shattered!
Got a fortnight off after friday, so Dds agreed to go to critters club mon and thurs, so there we are, 2 days to go to the gym, next week!!!! Gotta go when you can!

Good Afternoon BEST Friends

A wet and raining Wednesday here in Southern NJ. I've been MIA for quite a while. I'm sorry.

First of all sending out 's and 's to Sherry (mizgroundhog) and her DH for their combined surgeries today. Sherry is donating a kidney to her DH. What a marvelous and heroic thing to do for someone you love.

Secondly, I'm doing well. I am getting better use of my hands from the accident. Still wearing the braces. The brusing is finally fading.

I've hit a short plateu at 52 lbs gone. But that will fall again in a few days. It usually does. Just not getting as much excerise lately as I should. No excerise today as it's my birthday and I'm gonna lay on the couch and read a book!!

Food has not been a problem. As you know I can't eat much at a meal now. I eat 4 or 5 small meals a day now. That seems to work best for me. MOST foods agree with me again, but my loved green peppers are not one of them right now, darn!! And I LOVE stuffed peppers and tomato's in the summer. LOL, oh well, I made them and had to only eat the insides of the peppers.

You all sound wonderful...I've got to make it a point to get in here more often. I miss seeing all of you. And WELCOME to the new ladies I haven't met yet!!! Nice to see you here.

Hugs to everyone,
Melissa

P.S. Thanks Em for the brainfog unclog, heehee.
