Hello everyone!
Thanks for the laughs! I can imagine Tracey! I remember the first time I was left home without siblings, a sitter or anyone else. Very enlightening about ones self!
Hey Beth, let me know how big to build the ark, and I'll come on over and we can boat off with out families! We are dying for rain. I love the beautiful weather, but a few hours a week of rain sure would be nice!
Thanks for the pats on the back Jennifer and Bekki. It really helps to know that we are succeeding. I know I can't be the only one with a few falls off the wagons! And still do a good job!
Finally, the 8 days and 80 hours of work is over! Today is a much needed day off. It just drives me nuts when people quit without notice, and in a fit of anger. How professional is that?
I have to agree, that if we do have a treat once a week, especially while on vacation, it takes away some of the crazy emotional stress that comes with having to count every bite, DD is doing absolutely wonderful on her diet. She is walking nearly 5 miles a day, and bike riding as well. The other day, even after a 2 mile bike ride, she came with me on a walk with the pooch. It was nice to see her determined to eat better and to increase her metabolism. She will be 11 in a few weeks, and hitting that dreaded mood swings and energy swings as well. I am very proud of her. For her snack the other day she made her own jello and waited for it to firm up. If we keep her on track over the summer, school should be easier. Those school lunches are so hard. Very starchy and all. She tries, but it gets really boring really fast. We live only 3 houses from school, and with her in middle school, she can come home more often for lunch, and have a healthier lunch. And get the exercise of walking.
Well, time to catch up and get going!
Have a great week!
Wendy
