Good Morning Campers!
What a difference a week makes..this time last week I seemed to be stuck in groundhog day at work.. this week I have only worked one day and now I don't have to work again until next Wednesday..I am going to be filling in for a couple of people while they take vacations so I think they are giving me as much time off as they can before then..smart people..LOL.. while we're on the subject I learned my lesson last week..you cannot trust anyone at work..even if someone tells you the conversation is between you and them it never is..I have told everyone at work that I will not discuss anyone unless that person is in the room...the office manager and I had a very interesting conversation over the weekend and basically the Docs played us..so we are in agreement that we will not discuss anything behind each others back..obviously as office manager she will have to discuss certain things without us being there but in general no more of this he said she said stuff...
I have been going to the gym faithfully at least 3 times a week.. up to 3 miles now on an incline..down 10 lbs but more importantly my clothes feel better and I feel less bloated.. I have a lot more energy too.. I haven't been starving myself either just eating sensibly and trying not to snack in between...my mood has improved too..some would say that is the best part of all...;-)
Thanks for the comments about the deck..we sure have been enjoying it. With the light evenings we have been able to sit out there and watch the sun go down.. today I am taking the car in to get the oil changed and then I may stop off at the mall and get some Yankee Tarts for my burners..the dog needs a bath..there is laundry as always and I have a book that is calling my name..I have about 3 more left on my to read list..this is the time of year I really get through some books..reading pool side is one of my fav. things to do...the girls from the urgent care clinic are planning our now annual retreat to the beach house..I can't wait...
okay I am off to get my day officially started I have been up for ages but have been catching up online... have a great Thursday...I shall leave you with my five...

I never got an alert for the deck pics......what a nice deck and your kids both have gorgeous teeth. I am glad you have so much time off this week and i know you will enjoy it all. Workplace drama is AWFUL because you then have to keep on working with those people. Congrats on your workout.
love,lisa
It sounds like a much better week for you and next week will be too! I'm glad you're all enjoying your deck!

I think that was a smart decision between you and the office manager. Hats off to you and the 10 pounds!!! That is wonderful!!! Enjoy your days off!

I have always thought Fox Mulder was correct in his thinking..."Trust No One"!!! Especially at work! Enjoy your days off - they will seem like a distant memory all too soon!

3 miles on an incline! I'm impressed! After walking my flat treadmill all this week, I'm really impressed!!

The deck turned out really nice, can he come do mine next? Thats a smart policy for work. When you work with a lot of people its always wiser.

How sad that it is more often true then not that you can't trust your co-workers. I too have learned that the hard way. :P Sadly, I am too often trusting and end up making the same mistake...getting better as I get older! :)
Have a great day!

Don't know if you noticed or not but I tagged you this morning in a Mother Meme on my journal. Kath (My Simple Rhymes) did a wonderful post from my tag to her. I know you are up to it Lynn!
Secrets only stay secrets when they aren't shared with anyone, which kind of defeats the joy in having a secret...I suppose. Sorry there are some people where you work that you can't trust. I suppose there's always a bad apple or two in every bunch. Shame that...it spoils it for the rest.
Have a great day!

Good for you on the weight loss! Enjoy your day.

GEL PENS!!!! They ARE the best!!! I have them sitting around in every room of the house (it's a writer thing) and it DRIVES MA CRAZY. She keeps "putting them away." So I put more out. Finally we had a conversation about it.
"Ma, I like pens everywhere so that no matter where I am, when I need one I can grab one."
"Well if you need one, than you can walk right over there and get one out of the little can."
I used to carry bic ball points in my back pocket but the gel pens will leak and break much easier if you sit on them. I had to buy all new jeans because I had ink blots on all my back pockets!!!
Lyn, I love gel pens too !!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on the weight loss, Hugs Lisa
So glad you are getting some time for the gym and I know you are going to love reading poolside.... I can't wait to get our deck turned around and looking better. We have so much to do to it. Have a great day Lynn! Hugs,
Lisa
What Yankee Candle Tart scents are you getting??
I love gel pens too...especially girly colored ones. :)

10 lbs, woo hoo what a start you are doing great keep it up, and just think of what the summer will be like in all new clothes cause the old ones are falling off,
have a great day, MISSY
Lyn glad you have some time off ~ very sensible to come to an arrangement not to discuss anyone unless they are in the room ~ that way there can be no back biting ~ your weight loss is going well 10lbs well done on that and nice to know you are feeling so much better because of it ~ Ally x
I've long ago adapted the phrase if you can't say something nice about someone, don't say it at all. It helps, seeing as some people don't have much of a humor. Way to go on the weight loss!! Your doing terrific hon. Enjoy your time off!
(Hugs) Indigo
you sound a lot more relaxed, must be all that exercise and fresh food well done on the weight loss.

Well done on the weight loss Lyn, you are going the right way about it too. Faddy dieting never works but healthy eating and exercise is the way to go. Keep up the good work. :o)
Love Sandra xxxx

I think you are doing the right thing at work now. We are never to old to learn a new trick or two, eh? Glad to hear that you are doing so well on the diet, well done. Hugs, Terry x
I'm so glad that the gym is working out for you and you are starting tohave an eaasier time at work. Stress is such a killer. I have 45 emails to sort out today and hope that the pictures of the deck are in one of them!
