I had so much energy yesterday at work I worked circles around a 19 year old male who was helping in our department. (Retail - fabric dept work). I brought out a shopping buggy of freight and when he looked at it he asked what it was, I told him it was the freight. I then reached for an empty buggy and told him I was going to go get the rest of it. His comment? "THERE'S MORE????? " I said yes.
Well I worked him to death and worked circles around him last night.
This morning my manager asked me how much freight I had left to put out. I told him, "None'. He looked at me and said, "You had over 700 pieces of freight that was supposed to come in"! I looked at him and smiled, telling him that I had worked (Male helper) to death and worked circles around him. He smiled and repeatedly said, "Thank you, thank you. You are my hero."
BTW - this morning the scale said I had lost that other pound I had put on. YIPPEE!!!!

P.S. However - tonight DH and I went out to eat to celebrate Valentine's Day since I'll be working all day tomorrow.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!!

Welcome Gwyn! I think setting a timer is a great idea. I have heart meds to take twice a day. Easy to remember at night when I have other meds to take also, but in the mornings, if I don't set the oven timer, I don't remember.

I think I will set my watch to go off. It has a timer in it and will tell me (yes it words)that it is time to eat - or at least what time it is. Since I am legally blind, a clock doesn't really help, but my talking watch will. Thanks fodr the suggestion.

Quilting Grannie: You Go! That was a tough pound to get rid of. Great outdoing the younger guy too. You have a right to be proud of yourself.

I get a gold star today, picked up our teenage twins and of course they hadn't eaten. It's an hour's drive so we stopped at a taco place. (that's what they wanted). They filled up but I only had a milk, waited until we were home and had a 1 point soup for lunch instead. Hooray for me! :)

Good job Pat!! :)

Gold stars on the calendar would be a fun (if juvenile) way to reward ourselves for behaving....maybe some kind of shopping trip as a reward for 30 stars? ;) :lol:

Lneal, I finally made up the Dreamsicle recipe. Wow, it's good. Only I made it with lime jellow, vanilla pudding, cool whip and put pineapple in it. Really yummy, thanks for the recipe.

Charlee, I like that idea of gold stars to keep track. And shopping is always good!!
