Free Hugs

Monday, July 11, 2011

I know these videos have been around for awhile, but the original is still my favorite.

How can you watch that and still be in a grumpy mood????

I think our new dance party song for the evening stretch sesson should be by The Beatles...."All we need is love". :) Report Inappropriate Comment

Love it...where do I sign up....# 10,001 here. My "free" hugs to you for posting this and making me smile, (I watched it with my son who enjoyed it too). He told me he was at a convention recently where they were giving t-shirts out to the teens that said "Free Hug". He said the girls wearing them got the most, lol! Report Inappropriate Comment

Great video. Don't you wish you could see that all over? Then there is "who do you trust?" We give away hugs in our group all the time. When our daughter was married, her inlaws never hugged and was totally amazed we gave hugs to all the people attending!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Friggin AWESOME!!!!! Hey, I'd hug him!!! (then again, he kinda looks like an ex of mine) LOL! And I really like that band. :) It is amazing that that is a true story and that some people did actually let go for a minute, even in the big city, just to get a HUUUUUGGGGGGGG (personally, I don't think there are enough of them going around) thanks for posting!!

I have the best girlfriends!

I was in a funk because my knee is limiting what I *know* I can do.

But 4 hours with the girls (laughing, snarking and appropriate offers to kick someone's ass) and I'm ready to work around it.

Swim time after work!!

Lucky me!

  

Bah!

Well, I *planned* on doing 12 miles today, but my knee wouldn't let me.

It stinks that when I feel fine and am ready to do more...if it wasn't for the fact that I think my knee would have exploded if I tried.

I will try again tomorrow.....

HG uses broccoli slaw for a noodle swap, but I wasn't feeling like a chunky tomato sauce to make "spaghetti".

So I mixed a cup of Amy's Low Sodium Spicy Chili. A cup never seemed really filling, but I mixed in about 2 cups of steamed broccoli slaw and a chopped up turkey dog.

It was yummy and filling.

Phrase of the week

Tuesday, July 05, 2011

"Oh, crap!!"

Three times this week I have been shocked by the nutritional info of some food. This is the downside (or is it upside???) of trying to be very, very good about getting *everything* down.

It is official.
No more last minute decisions for meals. Just going to have to look it up *before* I venture into the unknown.

I love the official phrase of the week. It can be used for for any occasion! Report Inappropriate Comment

LIBBYFITZ 7/5/2011 10:58PM

That is why I try to eat non processed food, easier to track! Report Inappropriate Comment

That is the worst feeling! Especially if you think your choice is fairly benign and it ends up being terrible! Report Inappropriate Comment

Ignorance is not bliss! Good for you for taking the time and effort to be informed. Report Inappropriate Comment

I have felt your pain on more than one occasion. I will think that I'm making a good choice until I get home and find out that the one I hadn't chosen, would have been the healthier option in the end. Just look at it as a learning experience and grow from there. Report Inappropriate Comment
