 Smoothies sound good!!  :)  A lazy weekend is always a good thing.  lol

Are you getting excited about your vacation?  I would be counting down the days.  lol

 

Quoting tracylynnr67:

Today, not much going on. I walked to the farmers market and bought the fruit I need for the next week of breakfast and lunch smoothies, came home and portioned it all out and put in freezer bags and got that done with, I am set until next Saturday. And in a bit I am planning to walk down to the beach to take some seagull photos and after supper hubby and I will probably catch up on True Blood and then take our nightly 2.2 mile walk.  Tomorrow we are going bowling to bowl ahead for 1 of 3 league games we'll be missing while we are in CA on vacation (leave in 2 weeks and will miss the last 3 weeks of bowling). On Friday and next Sunday we will bowl ahead for the other 2 games. After bowling we are meeting our sons up at the movie theatre to see at least 2 movies, maybe 3 if we can squeeze it in (we have a bunch of free passes). For us, this is a lazy weekend.

The smoothies are yummy. I recently (2 weeks ago) decided to start my own "shake diet" so for breakfast and lunch I have smoothies made with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, fat free yogurt, 1% milk and reduced fat peanut butter and I also have 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter. So far I have lost 3# in a week (18# since May, 48# since last summer....very happy because I had resigned myself to being heavy for the rest of my life because I lost my thyroid 7 1/2 years ago to cancer) so something is working. I have the shakes and a regular meal for supper and that's all I eat. I am putting about 1200 calories in my body per day and I am burning that much plus some. I have recently aquired a waist and ankles :-)

I am VERY excited about our trip to CA, we are going to visit hubby's family (brother and sister in law and niece and her husband and our 2 great nieces and 1 great nephew...my hubby is 46, his brother is 66 and his niece is 44) and are will be there from 7/31 until 8/13. We went last October, our first visit since 1998, but only stayed for 4 days so we are all excited about this trip. We leave 2 weeks from tomorrow at 4a since we are travelling via Greyhound. I am ready to get the heck out of Dodge. We have had a lot of stress in the past 1 1/2 years so we need a long vacation to recuperate.

How is she now? And why did you not text me?!?!


Quoting louannwilkins:

 Went down to the beach and was having a great time.  My mom was ready to leave.  That's always a sign that something isn't right.  She started having trouble breathing walking on the sand and had to sit down....felt like she was gonna pass out.  sigh....another sigh.....So....she drank some gatorade and is laying down.  She woke up feeling bad  yesterday with sinus issues and her throat bothering her.  another sigh....So....I don't know if we'll end up at the urgent care or what.  Right now she's sleeping.  Say a prayer please.  Thanks ladies

 She is just having some major sinus issues.  Head hurts, throat, face hurts....all around eyes etc....sneezing every little bit.  You know the drill.  She's taking all kinds of meds.  The phone was about dead to tell you the truth.  Just remember her in your prayers.  I appreciate it and I hope your day was good too girl!!  :)

 I'm sure you are sad about them leaving.  I hope things will all work out.  Yay on the apt though!!  You'll have to share some pics with us!!  Hope you have a good rest of the weekend.  Hugs to you!!

 Sadly I'm up.  I wish I could have slept in this morning but I woke up early.  Guess we'll be heading home today.  Haven't seen my mom since last night so I'm not sure how she's feeling. Hope you all are having a great day!!  I'll check in later.   :)

I"m up way too early as well. Dogs needed to go out. Now I'm awake.

I do hope and have prayed that mom is better and that it is nothing more than sinus stuff.

Nothing much planned for today except a lot of cooking, which SHOCK I did none of yesterday! for dh and Jesse I am making those turtle burgers you have probably seen on facebook and pinterest, plus the loaded baked potato salad and creamy lime bars. SO...at it I go as soon as I finish checking the group.


Drive careful

 Mmm...sounds good!!  I had thought about staying here until tomorrow morning and then doing my 1 house which is on the way in as we came in.  Now however, not a good idea if she feels like she did yesterday.  Anyway....it was nice to come and I always hate to leave this aunt.  She is one of the sweetest people I know.  Hope you have a great day Dawn!!  Off to the shower I go.  lol  Then it's time for coffee.
