hello - well I survived Berlin with maxmum of 4 beers on both days and had no hangover - very pleased. I did half smoke myself to death though and have gained 2 pounds.
I'm on a low carb diet now for 3 weeks - need to shift weght fast to inspire me - keep losing same 2 to 3 pounds and putting them back on.
another good thing is diet doesn't mix well with alcohol so should help me be mostly af - will allow self 2 drinks sat eve - seeing a band.
good week all and hopefully a thinner week for me xx

Hey all -

Great work Bear! Keep it up. I hear you on those pesky 2-3 lbs. Always the hardest! Hope everyone is doing well and had a good weekend. It was busy here and I did Ok most of the weekend. No regrets though, which is new! Have a great one everyone.

Lush - Hope the crud is disappearing and you are on the mend!

Morning everyone,
I too am doing the low carb diet. Need to shed those pounds before open pool season gets here. The thought of it all makes me cringe.
Listened to a hypno tape last night before I went to bed, well actually when I was laying down and I think I slept better than I have in a long time. All I remember hearing was the man telling me to try and open my eyes or something and that was it. Gone.
Have a wonderful Monday you wonderful Muffins.
Me too Lush, I hope you are on the mend today.

Hmmm. Diets. I've lost weight, but I think it's because I have gotten so obsessive about exercising, although this last week, spring break, I didn't get to exercise at all. I was either writing those pesky report cards or entertaining house guests, our best man and then my mother. My mother has about decided on a place she wants to move to in Dallas. That's good, in that I won't have to be running back and forth to Austin, but it does mean she'll be here, basically on my hands. But that's what life is, right? You cast off one responsibility, and another one is waiting for you.

Like all of us I guess, our parents touch our most vulnerable places, and we have to remember to protect ourselves.

And they know how to push our buttons - as they were the installers! LOL!

You are so right Sophia - in the end, we can't help them if we don't take care of ourselves. It's like on the airplane when they do the routine about the oxygen masks....put yours on first THEN help the person next to you. Selfish sometimes, but true. And hard to remember. Very hard to remember.....

Hello!

Serendipity -- I am on a low-carb diet too!! for awhile...oh those Irish potatoes & soda bread & hash. My daughter is on one too. I have been away for quite awhile. Going to get back into the supps & go again for serious moderation. Had gotten off track to abs as well as to spirits mixed with shame. You are all such inspirations.

Luv~C

Good morning all!!
Hope everyone is well. How was everyone's St patty's day? I am ashamed to admit that I drank more than I intended...but today is a new day. I will be AF all this week (Sun - Thurs) and I will try to aim for at least one AF day next weekend and one day of no more than 3 drinks the other weekend day. If I could maintain that on a regular basis I would be happy!
Hope everyone is well
Love all

Morning everyone!!

Thanks for the well wishes. I feel MUCH better.

Chrysa, nice to see you back. It has been a while.

Bear, great job on the moderating. That is tough to do in social situations.

Beaches, I swear I felt the same thing; that I slept better after listening to the CDs. The only annoying thing was waking up all tangled in my headphones. LOL.

Sammy, did everyone enjoy the peeing frozen leprechaun?

Bella, nice job on the weight loss, although I have to say it does sound a bit boring! I love bread.

Optimist, thanks for the reminder I need to get out for a walk today. I think we actually might have a day with no rain today.

Sophiah, hopefully having your mom closer will be a good thing and not too stressful. Sounds like you had a busy spring break.

Hawk, glad you had a regret-free weekend. Nothing better than that.

Today is hubby's birthday which he considers to be a national holiday. Lord help me.

Jude, Rachele, MKR, SM-Mary, Jenneh, Ilex, Waves and anyone I am forgetting hope you will check in and say hi. It is getting quiet around here again.

Hope to hear from

Good morning to all the muffins!

Bella: I too am on the same diet but, feel soooo much better eating more raw foods and staying away from the heavy pastas and breads

Lush: glad to hear you are feeling better and just in time so that you may put on a fabulous production in honor of hubby's birth!

I am jealous of all of you having time for the CD's. I was very faithful to them for a while but, not anymore. Tonight I will listen to them in bed. Just have to remember.

I had a great weekend. I went to the zoo for a kids bday party (I love animals), to dinner with my mom at an outdoor cafe on South Beach, to the Symphony, to mass, a nice brunch with my kids and visited my dad at his house. He is restoring a Thunderbird from the fifties and took my kids for a ride. They loved it. While they did that I sat on the bed with my sister, who is 10 years younger, and we watched "The Three Amigos" together.

Ok Ok the weekend is now over...and I have to get to work!

I put on the Hypnotism CD yesterday and got really annoyed and had to take it off. That doesnt usually happen, I think i was just not in the mood. Has this ever happened to anyone?

Good Morning all:

What a beautiful spring weekend! Expecting snow by Wednesday, but it should be short lived. Spent most of my weekend with my 9 year old daughter shopping for summer clothes. OMG..love her but she is sooo exhausting! Had to take naps both days! Partly the Topa, partly the NON STOP chatter! Almost glad to be back at work today in the company of quiet adults. Only drank two beers on St Patty's and no hang overs at all this weekend...Yipee!!!

Love to all!!
