"Sure is different when our "regulars", don't post in here anymore or at least not very often." I guess not everyone eats those Fiber One Pop-Tarts like you do to keep "regular", Judy! :thumbup: (Just trying to keep the mood light in here!! )

Good Weds. Morn, Darlings~~ Suzie... hugs to you & purple power for all you do... be sure to treat yourself extra gently, too!! Judy... I made your corned beef recipe & it was a big hit! Just adding in the mustard (I used spicy brown) & the brown sugar made it yummier. We consumed the whole thing -- & it was more than 4lbs to start!! TracyK... Hang in there, girlie. I know what you mean about the wt... why is it that it goes on so quickly but comes off soooooo slooooowly? Why aren't our top scientific minds hard at work on solving this problem?? Day 3 for me... I am motivated... & for me, that is more than 1/2 the battle! Make it a great one, Vi's!

Judy, he is just so cute!! Now you're making me melancholy for my baby days... the parts of them where all I had to do was snuggle w/them for hours... I can't wait for my turn to snuggle & love on Carson!! That kid isn't going to know what hit him when the Aunties come to town!!

Sounds great, Jen! Congrats!! Judy, it wasn't stalking, it was taunting! Pam, that procedure sounds awful!! I hope it works!!! Janie, you had all the Vi's w/you in spirit... you always do... never forget!! For example, right now my spirit is in Mexico lounging poolside w/an umbrella drink w/Haydee!! Another regular Tuesday... lots to do as always... make it a good one... remember to wear some GREEN!

Exactly, Suzie... it takes my mind off how far I'm walking. Well said!

Yes, Pam, I do use the 'pod... I HAVE to... it helps to disconnect my mind from the fact that I'm walking for ages... ds has helped old technologically impaired me to subscribe to some podcasts & I only "let" myself listen to them when I'm walking... sneaky, yes??

Ta Da! I went to the Y all by myself & walked on the treadmill for 45 mins! (Man my legs are tingley!) Yay me! I need to get serious about training for the 30-mile MS walk in June. My plan is to walk for increasing lengths of time on M,W,F,S or S, then weights on T & TH... Eating has been good today, as well. Phew.

Good Sunday Morning, Vi's~~ Snuggled on the couch w/the laptop, w/my fav tv show, "Sunday Morning," just beginning. Oh lovely. It's their annual Money episode. Bleh. I am so sick of hearing & talking about money. Other than this, it'll be a horse show @ the barn, dd&ds come home, & regular stuff like cleaning & laundry & getting ready for the upcoming week. & I've got the artichoke chick dish on my grocery list as well -- and corned beef & cabbage for Tuesday as well!! Don't forget that! Make it a great day, my beauties!!
