Nothing much happening here.  Just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a happy 3 day weekend…YIPPEE!!!

  Have fun with your barbeques…remember a Turkey Burger is only 160 calories opposed to a regular hamburger which is around 300 calories!! Buy the Jenni-o seasoned burgers…YUM YUM…and diet friendly!!

Went to cardiac Rehabilitation today.  Only 7 people showed up, must be because of the long weekend.  Had a good workout…made it 45 minutes!

Kids moving in tommorrow, should be interesting!!! But I’m anxious and ready for anything that might come along! Ready for all the food temptations…..thank you all for your suggestions.  I really appreciate it!!

Have fun out there…eat healthy….play nice…and stay safe!!

  I will enjoy the next 2 days of peace and quiet.  On Saturday afternoon my youngest son and wife and of   course their dog (Pablo) will be moving in for 11 months while my daughter-in-law attends an accelerated 11 month nursing program.  At finish she will be an LPN!! I’m really proud of them.  They are giving up their apartment and lavish lifestyle for the next year.  Amber will not be able to work so they’ll only have 1 income.  We welcome them with open arms especially knowing its only temporary and they are really responsible kids (only 19 years old)

Here is the only problem I can see right now.  The meals and extra food in the house is going to be the biggest test of all.  The kids are both really Healthy looking…but indeed they are both junk food junkies…not a good thing.  Although they exercise…lots of walks and sometimes even jogging they still have horrible eating habits.  I’m not sure how to handle this as I have dejunked my kitchen…EEEKKSS…any suggestions out there??? I’m gonna need MAJOR HELP!!!

Don’t you ever just get the feeling like no matter what you try in life there are constant obstacles??  I realize we learn and grow from them but WOW…this will be tough!!

Have fun out there today….3 day weekend coming…YIPPEE!!

Happiness is inward and not outward, and so it does not depend on what we have but on what we are.

  I’m not doing well at all with the Flex plan.  Counting points seems easy enough. My choices are really bad and it seems I’m always hungry.  I have a friend online who attends Weight Watchers weekly.  She is on the Core plan and isn’t feeling hungry all the time.  So given that I’m going to try the Core plan.  Unfortunately I have quite a few WW frozen meals in the freezer.  Maybe I’ll start the Core next week.

Any opinions on the 2 plans?  Has anyone experienced what I am?  the being hungry all the time.  I loved the freedom of the points but the weight just isn’t coming off fast enough for me.

Hubby and I attended the all day educational seminar for Healthy Hearts yesterday.  We enjoyed it, learned alot about healthy eating and exercise.  Its time to put it all into action.

Wishing everyone out in BuddySlim a good day…healthy choices and weight loss for all!!

I was really happy to see the responses.  Makes me feel a whole lot better about people in general.  There are so many dishonest, evil and inconsiderate people these days.

 So the story goes like this.  My husband and I stop in the local grocery store for just a couple of things.  The bill comes to $9.05  We give her $20.05  In return she gives us back $15.00  Out the door we go, I look at the change and realize she’s given me back to much. 

I looked at my husband and said we can’t do this…and back I went.  Quietly I showed her, she actually got tears in her eyes, hugged me and said “God Bless You”  It was only a $4.00 mistake but who knows her situation.  Maybe she had been short on her drawer before and if she made any more mistakes she would have been fired?  We’ll never know….but I do know this, it was a win-win situation all the way around.

I too was a cashier and was held accountable for every cent.  I always prided myself on balancing my drawer out to the penny!

So once again, thank you all who took time to answer my blog.  This shows people are usually good!!!  We know this much…..people at BUDDYSLIM are the BEST!!

For anybody just reading blogs if you have a minute I have a quick question.

If you went shopping, paid your bill and realized as you were walking out the door the cashier had given you more change then you were supposed to get.

What would you do?  Would you give it back?

Or would you say to yourself “the store makes so much money off of me anyways” and keep the extra money?

Just curious how people would react and what there thoughts are on this.  I’ll follow up on this….hoping to get a little response anyways.  How does our world stand on honesty and morals today?  This should be interesting!

Thank you in advance to anyone that might take a minute to respond.

   What a wonderful way to start my day!  Woke up feeling pretty yucky with this cold and all.  Almost didn’t go to cardiac rehab, but thought about it and knew if I pushed myself I’d feel better.  So off I went.

On Wednesday I had worked alongside an older gentlemen.  We just seemed to be working on the same equipment at the same time so we talked the whole time.  Nice man….same age as my father!

Today at the end of the workout he looked at me and said “would you like to go for coffee”  LOL!! wow…I was touched.  I suspect he is very lonely….so I was thrilled to go with him.  His children live out of state and the one child that lives here is handicapped.  It turned out to be a really nice day. I even worked out longer, I’m up to 40 minutes now!!

Hope everyone is having a great day.  Have a happy weekend also! Do something nice for someone you don’t even know…it’ll make you feel so much better about life!

Been up since 4:00 a.m.  YIKES!!! Been on this computer for over 2 hours now  LOL!! I must admit I love reading other peoples blogs but wow it really zaps the time away!

 Today will be kind of quiet here.  I have a 8:15 dentist appt.  then out to breakfast with my father (he is 84) some grocery shopping then probably back to bed for me!!

I’m having lots of trouble sleeping lately.  It must be the healthy eating and exercise is giving me more energy? sounds good to me!

Well….everyone have a really super fantastic day!

Snack on….make good choices….and always smile!!

  Day 2 of Cardiac Rehab..YIPPEE!! I’m excited and ready to walk out the door.  The phone is ringing….do I answer it? I’m trying so hard to just ignore it…heck I’m half way out the door!!  Can’t do it so  I check caller id and sure enough it is my daughter. 

She is at work, feeling really sick and wants me to pick her up and take her to the emergency room.  I’m irritated to say the least because this is my second attempt at Cardiac Rehab, and it seems somebody else ALWAYS needs my attention.  At the risk of sounding selfish I didn’t want to give up my workout today.  I know my daughter and she tends to exaggerate a bit.  But I thought about it and suggested she go to the emergency room in the hospital where my rehab is scheduled.  She was thrilled and it worked out wonderful!

 Angela got checked out….has bronchitis and sinus infection, I got my workout and we were able to spend a little time together!

Today was a good day for me.  Can’t seem to get the eating under control.  I woke up at 5:00 a.m. so hungry my head hurt.  Started my day out with a Slim Fast, went back to sleep…at 8:00 a.m. had another Slim Fast…OMG!!! LOL!! Oh well….just gotta get back up…brush myself off and get back on the stick!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!! Smiles all around

Its been a while!! Haven’t blogged in a few days.  Yesterday was my first day at cardiac rehab.  It went really good.  I had a RN assigned to work with me for day 1.  I thought it was one on one the entire program but I was wrong.  Don’t think you really need that much supervision.  I was hooked up to a cardiac monitor which the girls (nurses) watched on the monitor.  They had me work for 30 minutes, with an additional 5 mins warm up and 5 mins cool down.  I was there the entire hour!

I’m looking forward to going back, I will go Monday, Wednesday and Friday for at least 12 weeks.  Possibly for 18 if my insurance will approve it! YIPPEE!! hopefully this will get me in shape enough to join a gym.  That is my goal for now.

Hope everyone is doing well  at BuddySlim.  Big Smiles all around and have a great week!

Good morning fellow buddys!  Hope everyone had a good weekend.  Mine was very uneventful.  Couldn’t really go anywhere due to the brusing and swelling of my face (after having teeth pulled)  People would probably think my hubby popped me a good one in the face   LOL!!

The scales dropped to 195 today!! YIPPEE!! I’m excited but I realize its due to not eating much.  Mostly liquids and some soup, yogurt etc… Its working so I’m al for it!

My goals this week are to walk my 20-30 mins on the treadmill before I get online..YEAH RIGHT!! thats a tough goal!!  Hugs and smiles all around!

I can I can

I know I can

I will be healthy

I will be fit

I will lose the weight

For Myself

For Family

For Life

Forever!
