So I am going with it. No wonder I can't figure out how much weight I have lost or gained.

My friend posted this on her blog recently and I thought maybe I could substitute "blogging" with "quilting"...
*laughs*
Why Deb can’t come to the blog today
1.Dude, the errands, they never stop.
2.I got permission last week to stop wearing my sling, which is awesome since I kinda hadn’t been wearing it for some time before then. My shoulder is almost 100% better as are my ick-tastic bruises. Good news, right? Let’s celebrate! Let’s go chop some very difficult things! Meh. Now that there is no risk of permanent damage/deformity, no flagrant disobeying of the doctor’s orders, it’s so much less fun.
3.The discovery of Kitchen Market. Why should I cook? I could live on their black bean soup and perfect cumin-sherry vinaigrette green salads for the rest of my life, or at least this month.
4.We finally got the kitchen clean and I just see no reason to rattle it.
5.I think those 9-stick of butter pecan bars officially pulled me under. I mean, it’s got to be like making that timpano or Death by Chocolate. What is there left to offer after such indulgence? I think I have a baking hangover.
6.I’m cooking a rather large meal for both of our families this weekend, and I need to conserve my energy.
7.I’m so far behind on responding to comments, do I address those or just move onto the Next New Thing? I am torn and will instead do nothing.
8.I actually have been working on a couple things discreetly, but as they are gift-y treats, you’ll have to wait until I actually gift them out to tell you about it.
9.Cooking is a leisure-time activity. These are not leisurely times. See #1.
10.Cooking might cut into my snowflake-crafting time.
*laughs*

The thing that really struck me was that the very BEST time to weigh ourselves in immediately after we wake up in the morning.
I hope y'all are doing well tonight. Cathie is going back to her home tomorrow. I will surely miss her. I also am trying to plan a trip to Texas with my mom (and also Cathie). I am going to start some quilting tomorrow after Cathie leaves. I think that will keep me from crying after she leaves. *sigh*
My parents are going to Fuddruckers and I cannot wait until they get home so I can eat the burger mom is bringing home for me. Yumm-O! I know it doesn't sound healthy but since I cannot eat the bread...the meat, avocado and cheese are great sources of protein for me. I am going to start (effective tomorrow) keeping a food journal so I can see if I am getting enough protein. I sure hope I am.
I will be going to the gym tomorrow too for the first time since my surgery. I do not know how much I can walk on the treadmill but I am going to try.
I hope that the weekend brings good things to all of you!!
Love,
Missy

I still haven't made my meal plan but I'm going to have to do it soon!
My sons ball game got cancelled becuase the umps couldn't handle a little bit of a sprinkle! Have another one tonight. Hope they play well they seem to be on a streak!
Good luck to everyone and keep working at it and working out!

i had a very lovely hot dog in a roll with mustard, ketchup and relish. i took the evening off. my headache is a little less this evening so i celebrated. i've been very good with drinking water when i'm not sleeping. lol i'm surprised i haven't wet the bed !!!lmao! on the other hand, eating has been very difficult. haven't checked my weight but i will be ok if it just stayed the same. thank goodness this is a looong month. i'm sure i'll need the extra time!
missy, i'm sorry cathy had to leave, but it will be great to see her again. does she work? what does she do? where did you meet? help me know her. she must be wonderful!
i AM losing--ground at the moment, weight soon! lol

Stick with it everybody, consistency counts.

Hello friends. Things are quiet for me today. Got in an early elliptical workout. My walking is better, but I still waddle. Or is it a limp? I am SO much better than a week ago. Had planned to go to the pool, but it started to rain and I took a nap instead.
Stay safe this weekend.
Stay safe this weekend.

I am hoping it will work out that I will be able to go with my mom to Texas at the end of the month. I would really like to see my dad and my sisters. My mom invited my younger sister that lives here to go with her so there is no extra room in mom's car BUT if my sister decides she doesn't want to go then I will be able to go. Please cross your fingers that my sister will not want to go. I really could use a vacation.

Hi everyone. I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. I hate summertime colds. Does anyone have a good remedy for this. I'm taking my vitamins and drinking alot of sugar-free OJ. I took some cold meds and I think it's making me feel worse.
