day 13

When we're standing in the valley, it is human nature to envy those who call out from the mountaintops. It is easy to forget that those people didn't fall there-they climbed there.ol :rolleyes
Behind the success story is always a courageous decision and a gallant action, or a whole series of actions.
What are the mountaintops in our own lives? If we want to reach them, we can. But we have to climb. Inspiration from someone else may get us started, but the success is in the climbing.:b :o :b

That is an awesome thought Judie! I love that!

I've been so busy that I've bee out of touch for a few days. They have been great though. Sat, Sun and Mon, all AF. I plan to be today as well. I've cut back on all supps except one L-Glut and EPO in the morning. My tummy is FINALLY back to normal. :rollin 100mg of topa seems to be perfect for me. Although it took about a week to adjust to it. I'm glad I stuck it out. WOW!! Life is good! I never thought I could go BOWLING and not buy beer!! I didn't even have the desire!!

I hope everyone is doing well. I'll have to check in later today and read up on the posts. I have another busy day. It's summer with 4 kiddos....we have all our dentist appts, doctor check ups, vacation bible school, camps, go here, do that, art classes, summer school, and the list goes on and on....Add to that the out of town Grand Parents that want to get a visit. All you other moms know where I'm coming from!!:b

Well...I'm off for a fabulous day...I hope the same for all of you!!

Many hugs to All!!
Hope:D

Good one, Judie! And I love that analogy about losing your footing and not necessarily ending up back at the bottom of the mountain...just replanting your foot maybe a bit lower than you were, but still partially up the mountain! Eyes on the top, always, because if you do keep sliding and sliding, I'm sure it's possible to end back up at the bottom. Grab hold, everyone!:D 8) 8)
Good night, last night. BBQ ribs, few glasses of wine, and hot tub! My legs still kinda hurt, but I'll get back out there today to loosen them up (I hope!)
Tammie, don't worry about where you post, girl! As long as you are checking in somewhere, I know it helps. You are doing AWESOME. Both things at once....soooo good for your health! Wow! Do something nice for yourself!
Today needs to be an AF day for me. Has been since last Wed, so it's time! Last time I went too long in btwn AF days, things got outta hand:x , but the supps and tummy stufff... you guys remember.

Judie, stop working so much. You're making me tired.ol . Hope the $$$ is rolling in! Your pockets must be bursting with flower petals!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Beautiful here. Heading to the pool. I'll check back later. Hubby home this wk.

Love,
Bec

Yay, Hope! Just saw that no more tummy 0] 0] !!
WHOO HOO!!! ONWARD!!!!

Happy Day 13th!

Judie, best quote yet! Yes, you are working way too hard! Hope you decide to ignore the phone.

Hope, you are doing awesome! Isn't it wonderful to have those guys at home and spend some fun time with you. It goes so quickly!

Becca, you are doing really well also as I think you have not overdone once while in mods . . good for you.

Kathy, hang in there, I had one of those anniversaries recently - weird it hit me, didn't think it would at all!

I was AF yesterday did the tapes, supps a little exercise but didn't get home til pretty late so the nice thing I did for myself was a wonderful herbal bath. woke up rather cranky this morning though - sinus headache . . . again. :rolleyes Plan for AF today again.

Have a doctors appt this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Hugs to all,
Mary

Good luck, Mary!!

Mornin everybody!|I :eek ....God I'm glad I woke up to a day off!.... I was having a "waitress nightmare". The soup was cold, it was wayyy busy,.... I had customers that had been waiting almost an hour for 1 bowl & 1 cup of soup...and the microwave was broken...:( :eek .....Then I went & found another microwave in the back kitchen, .... it had a whole 30 lb turkey in it! When I'd finally gotten it out of there so I could heat my soup...someone else, snuck something else into the micro while the turkey was in my hands! GRRR!>: What a way to wake up! :b

So a day off will be veerrry nnniiiiccccceee!!ol Hopefully the sun will pop out her in a little bit.

Hope: I guess "Summer break" has a whole diff meaning for Moms huh?:p Good luck!

Becca: Are ya feeling like a feable ol lady w/sore legs? HA!! I can say that .. because I'm older than you! I'll bet I run close to 5 or 6 mi per shift,... but thats over 5 or 6 hrs!ol
I love that Mt analogy too! It's so much better than what I used to hear @ "those Mtgs"... "Oh NO, you picked-up! Gotta start all over from day one....For shame!"Bla Bla Bla...>:
Just that mentality in itself was enough to make me go overboard...any time I fell....I think that's just about as stupid a phsycological BS you put on an alky as anything! GO FIGGUR!:rolleyes ol ..... Just my OPINION!at

Mary: sorry you have a headache.. no fun:( Good luck at the Doctors. I promise not to answer the phone today..ol

Kathy: Are ya OK? Kinda quiet this morning... Hope you're having a good day. Sounds like yesterday was a "mixed emotion" kinda day...? Hope you're enjoying your new space at your office... too bad we can't all come for a visit, Oh ya...did you invite us? HA!ol

Good day to all, Don't think the weather's decided what it's doin' here... so I'll probably in & out most of the day.. Good day All! Hugs, Judie

Hey Judie,

Thanks for noticing....Yeah I'm still in a bit of a funk. Today it's my ex. Don't want to get into complaining about him though, just more of the usual idiot behavior on his part. Truly, I liked it better when he was on the other side of the Atlantic!!!ol At any rate. I did do one nice thing for myself today and went and got a manicure and a pedicure! I've been wanting to do that for about a week, and I finally had the time. It was nice to feel taken care of....yum!!!

I did like your quote this morning, Judie!!

Hey everyone else! sounds likes you're all doing great! Keep up the good work!

Hugs,
Kathy
