I'm really hungry today

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Honestly hungry.

Stomach growling...distracted...I've worked out...taken a shower...eaten appropriately...drank some water.

It's been awhile since I've felt this hungry.

Hmmmm.....

I agree your body is trying to tell you something. I am mostly mouth hungry. Another suggestion SUCK some ice (water) or a hard candy Report Inappropriate Comment

I've found that when I that seriously hungry it is because my body is trying to tell me I'm lacking something important. I hate when that happens just before bedtime. In turn, that leads me to wonder what part is just me rebelling. There are great "filler-uppers" that won't un-do your hard work. If you can find something that you can chew that might help. I'm not talking gum, but something that gets your system into gear. (dare I suggest a low-sodium jerky?) Report Inappropriate Comment

Are you eating enough? Sometimes I am hungrier than other days. I've just started splitting my lunch in half and eating it early and a little later on to manage my hunger. Can you have a cup of tea? Sometimes that helps me...good luck, hang in there! Report Inappropriate Comment

Crazy from the heat

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

So, here in SE Wisconsin we are in the middle of a "heat dome".
Apparently, we will have upper 90s today and there is no predicted relief in sight.

I made sure to get my gardening done by 9AM and was drenched with sweat by the time I came in the house. Then I did Walk it Out with my Wii for another 90 minutes.

I must be nuts - but in a good way (I hope).

Stay cool everyone!

This heat is hurting us big time here in the Ozarks. My garden is dying. One plus--we don't need to mow the grass. Report Inappropriate Comment

It was about 82degrees this morning at 7 when I did my walk: a 1.5 mile loop. I dripped, I groaned, I swore I had only committed to 10 minutes of exercise a day -- why was I torturing myself like this?? But after the walk, and drinking my water and taking my vitamins, I realized it's all good: In another four months I'll be fighting the cold wind instead. Fight the good fight!

Appreciating DH and family

Monday, July 18, 2011

I sat down to write a blog post and it occurred to me that I have not yet shared with my SP friends just how lucky I am to have such a great guy in my life.

I met John in pretty typical fashion, in my sophomore year of college. He was a junior, on the swim team and I thought he was adorable. He was (and is) brilliant, a true gentleman with a goofy sense of humor and giant blue eyes - - I was completely and totally smitten.

We got engaged while still in college and after he graduated, he moved to Chicago for his first real job. I missed him terribly and was so glad to marry him in May of 1987 and move to Chicago to be with him. I finished college there and after less than a year of marriage, was pregnant with our son, Dan.

We moved back to SE Wisconsin when Dan was about a month old and have lived here ever since, in a 170 year-old stone farmhouse, that we did most of the remodeling work ourselves. We had a daughter, Emily three years later and feel so lucky to have them in my life.

Gratitude is part of every day for me now. I have so mch to be thankful for! I hope you do too!

A day at the pool

Sunday, July 17, 2011

I was invited to a pool party today, at the home of some new friends we will be taking a trip with later this year. They have a lovely home and an inground pool. (very nice.)

I did not swim because I do not have a suit that fits me right now (this was an impromptu gathering), but I did enjoy sitting on the side of the pool with my legs dangiling in the wonderful warm water.

It was a wonderful afternoon and I am looking forward to my trip to Mexico (with a new swimsuit).

  

Breaking routine successfully

Saturday, July 16, 2011

My husband wanted to go shopping (I felt his forehead, but no fever) this morning, but I hadn't worked out yet. I like to get my workout done before I do other things, but thought that this was an opportunity to test myself. Would I work out when I got home?

The answer is YES.

I'm now cooling down, logging onto SP (obviously) and getting ready for my niece's engagement party. Oh happy day!
