Food, Diet and Fitness Diary

I have absolutely no endurance at all! Good luck with the training.

Yes, I finally did finish Marcella's room. It came out beautiful! The printer for my Kodak camera broke somehow and I am waiting for one of my daughters to upload the pictures because I haven't learned to do that yet! LOL!

I was fun but I had to measure everything out so precisely because the walls are striped pink and white. I really could have shot myself for suggesting that! I prolonged doing it all summer because everything had to be taken out of the room, which it wasn't, and so much stuff had to be given away and stored someplace. When I did do it, it was SO hot, I vowed not to suggest painting for a VERY long time!

I buy the Kellog's All Bran Fiber Iced Tea drink at K-Mart. It's down the isle with the Metamucil and x-lax. It tastes just like regular iced tea and it has so much fiber in it.

Have a great weekend, Reese! Good luck painting! One thing I can say is, looking at Marcella's room now, I feel very proud to know I did that! (and thank God I'm done!)

Hey Reese, glad to hear you're feeling better! Your baby is in kindergarten and the oldest a senior. It seems like they are all growing up too fast! I know how you feel. My "baby" will be a junior when school starts on the 6th. I find myself very emotional too. LOL

When my oldest graduated from high school, she was undecided as to what she wanted to do. She took a year off, but she worked. She decided she wanted to go to beauty school. Now she works for MAC cosmetics and has health coverage, a 401K plan, and has the opportunity for advancement! She is now MAC certified and in a few years will be able to do the make up at NYC Fashion Week. When everyone heard that she was taking a year off to decide what to do, they made it sound like the world was comong to an end. She LOVES her job and if/when she leaves it, she will have all this experience from a great company.

Maybe your daughter needs time to figure out what she wants. Maybe a few online courses aren't so bad for a semester or two. It would be a shame to waste money sending her somewhere she really doesn't want to be and her head isn't into it. When does she have to decide? I know it will all work out!

I understand what you mean, All they see is the end result. They don't want to know about the blood, sweat and tears it took to get to the place you're at now. You had a hard journey and are a terrific mom to your girls. You just want them to have a better life, as we all want better for our kids, especially daughters!

Things are so much harder today than they were when I was younger. And although women have made strides in the work place, we still earn less than men! With everything that's going on with the economy, it's a hard road for all of us. I just hope that we can look forward to a brighter future.

Good for you! It must feel go to get things accomplished. I have such a long list and I don't have the time to do it all. When I have a little time to try and start something, I am interrupted by, drop offs or pick ups, kids needing to go shopping to the mall for a dress for a sweet 16 and another party and shoes, bringing the dog to the vet, wanting to go by my sister's house in the pool, cooking, laundry, remembering to feed myself!

ITS ALWAYS SOMETHING! I need quiet time and no interference to get everything done!. With 3 girls, I'm sure you MORE than understand!

Did you feel the earthquake the other day? I just realized now that you're in CA. I have been feeling really poo-ish lately! Tired, headaches and stomach problems. I think it's the heat over here. I know everyday for the past 3 weeks we have gotten air quality alerts. For all I know I am probably breathing poison from the atmosphere LOL!!! I feel like I am constantly pushing myself to do things and dragging my body! No energy and very tired.

Hope your having a better day. Feel better.

LOL i'm so sorry to hear that but trust me i kow how you feel, sleeping in the middle of the day and waking up to late and not knowing what to do with yourself.. But i hope you're feeling better:)

No you're not a wuss LOL those tapes can be really hard sometimes it all depends on how you're feeling that day:) But you keep up the great work...
