CC Roll Call Tuesday August 25 2009

[Sherri]

Good morning CC'ers
Geez, less than a week left in this month. Where did the time go. I hope all of you are close to reaching your goals for the month. September will soon be here with lots of oppurtunities.
Wishing all of you a great low carb day. Make sure to fit in some type of exercise in and drink plenty of water.

Good morning
What are you doing with yourself Sherri, with Hubbie at work and Sierra at school?

Here, and tired from cutting the grass. I am so out of shape.

Hi all, just found out one of the guys I work with is a sometimes-Atkineer (on and off, mostly off from what I gather). We traded recipes and talked a bit about the WOE. Given the grief some of my co-workers give me (all in good fun - 'are you going to eat your 3 cashews?', 'it isn't pizza if it doesn't have a crust'...) about this WOE, it is nice to have an ally nearby.

Hoping the scale is nicer to me tomorrow than it was for the 6WEC on Sunday (it is TOM, so dicey at best...)

Added strawberries this week - not sure if I can handle them. I've only had them once so far, I'll have to see if I get cravings again or if I was just having an off day the first time. I hope that blueberries will be OK...I really enjoy them.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I got the sweaty portion of the day finished with this morning. I've found that each time you mow, it gets a bit easier...unless you've cheated recently. Not sure why that is. Luckily, I've been a good girl. I've also started walking my son to and from school instead of driving, so that's some additional cardio on top of the weights.

Hi Kath,
What am I doing with myself? Enoying the peace . LOL It's just the second day to myself. Now that i'm up earlier to get Sierra off to school, I get alot accomplished. I'm outside early in the garden and yard, watering first thing. Then i'm inside cleaning up dishes, vacuuming and whatever else needs done.. Yesterdsay I stripped all the beds and hung sheets outside to dry after washing them. Oh they smelled so good last night as I fell fast asleep. LOL. I have a few projects to do around the house before winter comes. Some painting for sure.
Sierra came home for lunch today, that was nice to get caught up with her day.
I'm just getting into my groove. Feels good to have time to myself.
One thing I noticed is that the t.v stays off untill the family gets home. I'm more of a music person or just plain silence. LOL I like being left with my thoughts.
Thanks for asking Kath. What are you up to these days?

My daughter went to grade ten registration yesterday, and both kids go half days Thursday and Friday, then it will be back on schedule next week. I don't watch Tv either during the day. I spend a lot of time quilting (while I listen to books on tape). I also have a few things I would like to get done before the snow flies. Today I bought new curtain rings to remodel the sheers in my living room, but before I sew those and hang them up I need to sand both sides of my front door and repaint it. We just put in one of those deadbolts where you enter a code so I don't have to worry if the kids remembered their keys. I joined the six week exercise challenge, so I am walking with my hubbie after dark - the sun and I don't get along very well. Have a wonderful day. I'm so glad that you seem to be in a good place right now.

Sounds like you're in a good place too Kath. Great job joining the 6wk challenge.
I love books on tape. I have a couple.
Take care sweetie. Nice chatting with you. xo
