Hi girls...Wow it has been a while since I posted. I have been so busy that I have not had time. I log on and get started and then I get pulled away. Thanks to everyone for stopping by and sending your postive thoughts. I need them!!!
Last week was crazy. I didn't get home until 7 or after each night, I had to feed the dogs, the DH and myself. I didn't get any workout in except my walking. I am counting, it but it has not been much. Things are starting to get back to normal so I should be able to get caught up on journals.
The good news is that my bad knee stopped hurting, the swelling went down, but now my good knee is sore. I have no idea what I did to it. It's better today, still a little sore, so I didn't work out, just walked. I am going to try it tomorrow and see how it goes.
I have some really good news, I don't know if many of you remember all the drama with my middle sister or not, but if you don't here's a fast recap. My sister married a.....jerk, after they had their 6th child he got in trouble with the law, was put in jail. He then did several stupid things in several states, they had their 7th child and were homeless. They ran from state to state house to house. Finally they were back in CA and he was on probation. He decided that America was not treating him well, so he took my sister and the kids out of the country. The Honduras government picked them up and sent my sister and the kids back here while he was held in jail there. Once my sister got back to the states and away from him she started to change. I was getting my sister back. It has taken almost a year and a half but she is back to my sister. I found out last week that her divource should be final within the next few days. I am so proud of her.She is doing such a great job raising her 7 children on her own. She is getting some state assitance, but she is also working and trying to provide for her and the kids. She has done a great job. The reason I tell you all this, I want to thank each of you that had my sister and the kids in your thoughts. She needed all the help that she could get. I truley believe that all the good thoughts helped her realize that she didn't need that loser.
Anyway, Cam that steam and mash is awesome!!!! It will steam veggies, fruit and potatoes. So far we have only done potatoes. You fill the bottom with water, place a tub thing on it, then put your cut up potates in the bowl, it has holes in the bottom. Turn it on and the steam in the bottom goes up in the holes and steams the potates. It's great. You can set it up to 60 minutes and then you have to add more water. If not you can ruin the unit. If you have the attachement set up, when the timer is up, it will start to mash what ever you have in there. It will mash it for 1 minute and then you have to do it manual. The only thing I don't understand is the directions state that when the potatoes are done, add the milk and butter and then mash. The bowl had holes in it. The milk is going to go in the holes. So I take them out and mash them in a bowl. They are the best mashed potates I have ever had. So good and creamy!
Wendy, thanks for sending the scale fairy, I hope she can stick around for a while. I didn't weight myself last week, I was too busy and I didn't want to see the damage! I ate well, it was the lack of exercise.
Thanks to each of you for stoping by. I am going to try and get caught up on each of your journals tonight or tomorrow.
Have a great night and you are all the best!
! Hope the knee feels better soon, and you're able to get some exercise in this week...also hope that Wendy's fairy made it out to you, and fixed that darn scale! Gosh, plateaus stink!
Wheres my drinking partner Amy??
that the other one is worse. I wonder if it's mad because you've been favoring it while the "bad" knee was hurting. I know my joints do that from time to time.
