Happy Father's Day to all the Melty dads!
I slept in until 6:00 this morning, which was SOOO nice! Woo hoo! I'm trying to stay in positive mode, too, and am doing my best to not obsess about food/eating. In the spirit of June Fun, I might end my week of full-body workouts early and start that new legs rotation I posted yesterday.
Today I feel sad b/c the rest of the family is going out on that uber-expensive boat cruise that we decided to opt out of. I told my dad that we would take him and his wife out for a movie and lunch later this week since DH will be starting summer break on Tuesday.
Tonight we're going to see _All's Well that Ends Well_ in that lovely outdoor theatre, which should be fantastic. The theatre moved to a repertory format for the summer Shakespeare series, which means that instead of all three plays being spread out a bit more, we'll be seeing one tonight, one Thursday night, and one the week after that. Should be a lot of fun! It's a cozy theatre where you bring a blanket, and it's right next to the SD Zoo, so you can hear the animals calling out a bit. Of course, we're hitting that fondue restaurant (where we've been meaning to go for ages) beforehand, so it won't be the cleanest night of eating. Ah, well!
Shelley -- Glad you got over that slump yesterday! I think that that's a fabulous idea to just bring plain strawberries over to Chris' sister's house. Is this the woman, too, who has said awful things to you before or was that someone else? Sending you {{{HUGS}}} that today goes well!
Allison -- Glad you feel good about getting all that cleaning done yesterday! A shoelace, huh? Gag! Will you be able to see your dad today? Have you decided what to do about using your kettlebell a bit more? Not sure if you got my PM from the other night, but the Extreme Cardio DVD is a lot more intense than The KB Way one. Did you get to sleep in again this morning? Hope so!
Deb -- I was thinking about the calcium thing, and, I'm sure you know this already, but do you split your calcium up into two or three doses a day? I've read that the body can only process about 500mg per dosage, and the woman who did the scan confirmed that on Friday when I asked about it. Oh, Keegan is just ADORABLE! He has so much sass and personality.
Tneah -- Oh, you're such a sweetie pie! It would be so much fun for all of us to do a visit to see you in the fall! I would LOVE for that to work out. We could eat tons of ice cream and pig out! Don't worry -- I've never been a nightclub person! ;-) And hopefully Georgie wouldn't get too frisky! Yes, do the Bliss Hips today and tell me what you think! Oh, I never PM'd you my address again for products. Did I get a goodie package, too?!
You are SUCH an incredible sweetie! Like Robin said, you are our Fairy Godmother of Beauty! I think we need to get you a special tiara to wear! You did quite the cleaning yesterday afternoon. Did you get to spend some quality time with DH?}(
Robin -- Thank you for putting me on the list for the apple dumpling dinner! Yummy!:9 Hope that you're getting some better sleep after having jet lag. Have you tried taking melatonin or valerian root? That can help me get back into regular sleep mode.
Kristi -- Yes, like Robin said, I think most of us go back and re-read what happened the day before to see who posted late. Only one more day until the Challenge! I saw your post on the Open Discussion forum, and will be sending you and Todd all my prayers and good vibes. I saw what you said to Robin about how some "friends" have been ignoring your Challenge. What an odd reaction! Oh, and I sent off a check yesterday, but I'm not sure if it made it out before the mail carrier came, so it probably won't get there until after the Challenge. Hope that's alright! Will you be carb-loading again tonight in preparation for tomorrow? Will the girls be gone a week? I'll pray for their safety, too. I bet you'll miss them terribly, but it might be nice to have a few days to recover and relax . . . and DO NOTHING once you're finished on Tuesday! Glad you liked _A Mighty Wind_! I'm sure that Todd doesn't feel short-changed at all; his lovely family is obviously thinking of him and giving him all their love!
Let me know, too, if you want more info about BFFM. By the way, though, you certainly do not look like you have any fat at all on that skinny frame of yours to lose!
Kara -- You poor thing with that floor and door! Did the door get put in before the storm came? We miss you, and are sending you all our positive house-repair vibes so that you can get those renovations done and come back to playing with us!
Shannon -- It's so great to see you here again on a Sunday! I loved reading about all that you've been up to this weekend. Mushy is good!
I know -- aren't we lucky to be a part of such an amazing, supportive group of women?! Yes, I've been in Obsession Mode lately, even though we're supposed to be in June Fun mode! I thought that 25% seemed really high, but you don't think so? I didn't want to actually lose any more weight, so I think I'm going to just concentrate on continuing with the weight lifting and let things happen slowly. I hope you can get your watercolor where you want it to be today. And can you play some nice music to drown out the noise of the motocross? Hope you have a lovely day, and that your calf doesn't act up during your walk!
Lainie -- How are the teefies and the belly today? Any better? Are you taking Brian out today for Father's Day? Of course, a nice day indoors with that new air conditioner blasting out some cold air sounds great, too!
Jennifer -- Where are you???? Are you OK? Please check in with us if you're lurking out there! Let us know you're alright!
I'll BBL to see what's going on!
