aw debba, sorry your DH is working.

Our JCC membership includes the swimming pool and is a great investment. She lives in the pool in the summertime and is doing well with swim lessons. And on Sunday when it was 100 out we were totally cool in the pool.

Good morning. Happy 4th!

Deb..I got my air filter at costco and it works great. I have it in the bedroom and I turn it on every night. I have been using it ofr 10 years now, and I truly believe it is a major component in my being able to breath in a household with dogs. (we vacuum every day, also). I am so used to the filter that I can't sleep without the white noise anymore either.

I am going to try out my beautiful paddle board today!! My wetsuit came in so we are going to head up so Big Lagoon, where the dogs can runrunrun and I can paddle. We will see if they are interested in riding on it...which means I will be getting wet! (thats where the wetsuit comes in!) I am going to have to put my bathing suit on for the first time since Hawaii...and I am up 5 lbs. Ugh. I can't seem to get my juju back for getting on track again. Try try again....

Today should be fun, and I will make every effort to be good.
Have a great day everyone!

So, the parade was fun, Reid got to sit in a fire truck (I thought he was going to try and hide in there so he could go back with them), my parents came up for lunch, Reid didn't take a nap and threw a fit at the pool. DH got home about 20 minutes ago and is already making noise about not being able to handle Reid and being tired and blah blah blah.

And there has been no consensus or decision on dinner.

sorry debba. sounds like it started off well...

We took J to the JCC and spent 3 hours in the pool. She was swimming for most of it. And she's amazing; really swimming back and forth between us!

Now I'm wrecked. J decided not to nap so I had to entertain her while DH slept. Then when my turn came, I couldn't. Just ate dinner and was wondering how we'll possibly make it through to fireworks time when my dad asked to come by and take J out to play.

So now we're relaxing for a little bit, then will hike up to the top of the mountain and watch from up there when it gets dark.

Pizza or takeout BBQ. Flip a coin.

LOL, we ended up going out to one of our favorite restaurants. No blood was spilled and we're all in decent moods right now.

merigayle · « **Reply #3408 on:** July 04, 2012, 07:33:31 PM »

no nap days, SUCK! DD has been taking mega naps since being sick last week, today's was 2.5 hours

I sat in the sauna for 45 minutes, did dishes and prepared dinner (sweet potato falafel).

debbatx · « **Reply #3409 on:** July 04, 2012, 09:52:35 PM »

DH was getting frustrated at one point this evening, because Reid wanted DH to do bath time, and DH *hates* bath time for some reason, and I was like, "I've been with him since you left the house at 6:45 and did I mention that he didn't nap??? FFS, man, give the kid a damn bath!"

Bolloxd · « **Reply #3410 on:** July 04, 2012, 10:33:29 PM »

My lack of posting in here lately has been due to a 3 day no nap streak!! Thank frack they napped today.

I've also got hormone issues going on. Feels like constant PMS.

Awesome! What are you doing?

It's basically a clean eating plan. No processed stuff. In addition for me, it also means eliminating wheat, corn, most dairy, and sugar (honey, maple syrup, and stevia are allowed)

I've been fairly militant about it, but am allowing myself some concessions so I won't beat myself up if I slip a bit. The main thing I've noticed is the elimination of wheat has made a BIG difference in how I feel in the afternoons. I have no brain fog and I am wide awake. I usually need a nap because of all the sandwiches I used to eat.

I eat less, but more often.

dude!!! DH detests bath time and refuses at all costs

He also hates doing the dishes and i often say, please pick one. Last night, his idea of doing the dishes was putting everything in the sink and wiping down the counter. the dinner dishes are still on the dining room table!

debbatx · « **Reply #3413 on:** July 05, 2012, 09:54:27 AM »

OMG, meri, I'd have killed him by now. You're a saint.

DH at least will do the dishes a lot of the time if I do bath, but last night, Reid only wanted DH - probably because he hadn't seen him all day.

I'm up a little this morning, but I also had a club wrap last night, so I'm sure the sodium is part of it.

Tell me about paddle boarding... after I read this, I googled it, and the local reservoir does 2 hour lessons for $75 (that includes your gear), and I love water sports/activities. I'm trying to talk my DH into doing a lesson, but I do not forsee it actually happening. I want to know more about it to see if I want to go try it myself

I haven't specifically, on purpose eliminated soy, but I doubt I'm eating much of it now, too. I'm eating much cleaner as well (although I'm still eating dairy and corn), and I feel SO much better. I'm down a total of about 7 lbs still, which isn't a ton, but I'll take it. I'm tracking points again this week, hoping to see some more loss.

I can tell pretty quickly when I have eaten soy accidently (like in a marinade at someones house).

It is next to impossible to completely elimate though without just completely excluding any and all processed foods from my diet.

check your groupon and living social if you have it. I just bought one that was 30.00 for 2 hours of rental and that included a lesson and all the equipment. It wouldn't surprise me if you could find one too.
