good Morning

Today is my birthday-I am 53 yrs. old. My dd called to wish me a happy birthday and my sister called , they both sang to me. My sister gave me a tart burner for my birthday and some tarts one citrus one and one patoulli scent and one Christmas scented one. I love tarts so she gave me something that I will really enjoy.
My dh is going to take me out for dinner on Sunday and My dd and her husband is going to come too.

I finished my exercises, and I think that is all that I will be doing today, It looks like it is going to start raining at any moment, and then our weather will turn cold. We had 85 degree weather yesterday and tomorrow the high will not get out of the 60's. I have been wearing shorts and tank tops, and going barefooted. I think I am going to have to start wearing more clothes.
SOB I like not wearing much clothes.

Menu for the day

breakfast-oatmeal and juice

lunch-salad with a little chickin in it

supper -I am not sure yet, I have a lot of chicken left over that really needs to be eaten, I may make another salad and use some chicken in it.

snack -trail mix

exercise-4 mile walk

I will check in later

Have a good day everyone

I finished my lunch, a delicious salad with mostly low calorie lettuce about 1/2 cup of chicken, and and some croutons, 2 boiled eggs, about 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms, and 1/2 cup of raw suchini, some very low cal dressing.Roughly estimating I'd say not over 500 calories. It was delicious and it was filling.

I have done nothing today, except talk on the phone and watch tv and play on the computer. what a terrific way to spend a birthday.

I will check in later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDRA!!!

I hope that you have a lovely day.

I had a very busy morning, got lots of extra steps in making and delivering popcorn at the school. Unfortunatly, that meant I didn't get to eat until just now, and I was feeling a little woozy, since I'm used to eating around 9am. I had two enchiladas for my lunch. If I get hungry later, I will have some oatmeal for a snack, I think. Dinner is going to be something using up the rest of the turkey breast I've got in the fridge.

Well, this is a running stop for a visit, lol, as I've got to get to work. Have a great day, everyone, and Happy Birthday again, Audra. (((hugs)))

I hope that your lack of visits since lunchtime means that you've been completely enjoying your day, Audra. You deserve to enjoy every moment of it! ;D ;D ;D

I admit I got into the candy again today, after I let the kids get to me a little too much. I didn't eat as much of it as yesterday, but still... I had gotten out of the habit of eating stuff like that when I was feeling blue or overwhelmed, and I don't like that I am falling back into old (bad) habits.

I was sitting at my desk, feeling all down and defeated. The girls were actually in their room, and I just decided that I had to stop. I got up, picked up the living room, and even though it was going on 7pm, I started my exercising. I did the two mile walk, and the stretch tape, so almost - but not quite - an hour workout. It was a little harder to do because it has been so long since I did it, especially those leg lifts. But I feel much better for having gotten through it. Now I can get the girls into getting ready for bed mode, get them tucked in, and then hopefully have some time to write, and not feel so guilty about it all.

Anyway, have a good night. Talk to you later.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Actually after i posted the last time I got a headache (I feel pretty sure it was broght on by the severe change in the weather).

Then later this evening my dd came over and brought a Bday present. It is the cutest thing. It is like an apple tree only the "branches"are actually measuring cups and measuring sthingys. My kitchen is in apple theme. I am slowly getting everything done in apple.

I had a salad for lunch and another for supper but the one for supper came from burger ki8ng. It was delicious.

Good for you for doing your exercising, I bet it made you feel better. Is your older daughter home all this week? In this area the children got off on Monday for teachers work day and then tuesday for the voting day.


I will talk to you tomorrow
