Cindy I am glad you went to the doctor, but not glad you have bronchitis. My dad keeps that a lot. You folks have all been working on some pretty projects. I have somehow kept with my calorie counting this time. I have went down a few pounds too. That encouraged me. I have to go by calories since I can't exercise much. My cells lack the oxygen for me to have any energy. I do what I can. It's snowed all day, but didn't really stay on anything much, but it's still snowing tonight so I may wake up to some. It was pretty watching these big flakes falling. It reminded me more of a pretty Christmas Day.

Cindy glad you found out what you have, but please be careful with the herbal teas. In my case, I am allergic to many plants and flowers - I can't stand them on the outside of my body and I certainly would be pretty sick if I put them on the inside of my body with some sort of tea. If you have the allergies, please watch in case the ingredients are different from what you've had before.

Taboo Tuesday. This week is Holy Week for many and lots of extra candy will be floating around (you know what that means, right?). Our taboo this week is to eat ONLY a portion of what is served on your plate in a restaurant. Typically, the restaurant has a larger serving portion because of our expectations - the American dream of everything bigger. Well, those of us watching our weight know that is way more than we need at one sitting. Get your To Go Box/Doggie Bag early and put a portion of your meal in there. If you get hungry later and IF you really need to finish it, you have it, but if not, you have a small lunch for another day. Eat healthy and stay hydrated everyone.

My husband was a help to me yesterday. Later last night I had reached my calorie limit, but suddenly I ask him to fix me something quick to eat. He does that for me when I have run out of energy. Well, he said he couldn't at that time, because He wasn't feeling good. Then that urge passed, and I was saved. lol.....I told him too he helped me. That does happen to all of us with sudden urges, and it's like all reason goes out the door. Thought I would share that.

End of month is fast approaching, before we know it will be here. How this month has flown by. Remember only eat a portion size where ever you go, don't over indulge on the ham on Sunday, most of them seem to be loaded with salt so so we don't want the added water weight when we weigh ourselves Monday morning.

wow seems we have lost lots of interest on this thread this month. nothing for 2 days. DO I even need to start a new thread for April???????

I have not been around much at all this month. My son had sinus surgery and was home recuping for 2 weeks. He's back down in San Diego now but am keeping busy.

Yes you should run it again for April. Sometimes our lives just get busy!
Thanks for keeping this up Cindy!

We have had a few days in the 40's so the snow and ice are melting. Sounded like it was raining today with the snow melting off of the roof.
I finally finished my Irish quilt. Woohoo! Now I can start on Allie's quilt.
Good grief. It's after 2 am. Better get to bed!

I have just been busy the last few days. I had my carpets cleaned yesterday to get ready for the new furniture that is coming today. Woo Hoo!! I have been out of town the last 2 weekends so I am so far behind around the house. The carpet guys were supposed to come between 2 and 4 yesterday they called at 10 and wanted to come at 11:30. I frantically cleaned and moved furniture. All of my living room furniture is in my kitchen. We are rearranging the living room so I wanted it cleaned under the furniture too. I am kinda pissed because the carpet is still a little bit damp this morning. The stairs are still pretty wet. The carpet does look a lot better though. We thought about new carpet too but we blew the budget on the furniture. Maybe next year.
I am on spring break. It is a short one for me this year but we get out of school really early. My last day is May 23rd:-) Only 38 more days. And I am taking 5 of those off when my DD has the baby. The baby is due April 23rd. I was working on his quilt last night. It is machine appliqued. I have a few small pieces to applique yet, then layer and quilt it. I really want to work on the optical illusion quilt, but the baby quilt needs to get done as it has a deadline.
I have a really hard time behaving myself food wise when I am around the house. Too many temptations. At school not only is there no time to eat there isn't anything around to eat. I made some chocolate caramel thins to send to my DIL and I can't stay out of them. Shipping them out of here today. They are soooooooooooo yummy.
Cindy I hope the bronchitis is doing better.
Pat
