Kumochi Mary--what day this month is your birthday?
Quinn, congrats on your walk. Tell Mike tomorrow that you walked 23 miles at the mall. LOL
Mike, it's really hard replying to everyone, but you do a great job. Thanks for your congrats on my weight loss. Shouldn't be tough for me to get in five servings of fruits and veggies since I'm a veggie lover-- and I DO log my green veggies. I've got some egg substitute (store brand like Egg Beaters) so maybe I'll start eating low carb veggie omelets for breakfast. I laughed aloud at the guy "treadmill dancing." That's hilarious!
Glad your back is better. We have the rest of our lives to exercise--taking time off to recuperate from back problems is really smart. Those who risk further injury because they don't want to appear weak are just stupid. Hey, I'm gonna fry some fish tomorrow--not breaded, though. I have some delicious Swai fish that is great just seasoned with "Slap Ya Mama" Cajun seasoning (from Walker & Sons in Ville Platte, LA) and fried in butter and extra virgin olive oil. "Yes, I was joking about y'all being old... granny." Where's that #$%^&* whip?! LOL Just kidding--I really don't mind being teased about being old. I've never been to a high school reunion, but I have dinner every September with some college friends I met back in 1964. OMG, that was before you were even ALIVE! Go on, I hear ya laughing. Hope you enjoy your three mile walk and that it stayed dry for you.
I'm signing off and going upstairs to watch TV. Goodnight, everyone.

Ate clean and well today, weights in the morning and a jog in the evening with the hubby. Leaving for the beach at lunchtime tomorrow and then all bets are off. The plan is smart food for breakfast and lunch and then seafood dinners/boardwalk food in the evening, hopefully within reason.
It's been lovely seeing the family; I spent the day shopping with my mom today. For being 79 and using a cane, she sure got away from me fast, especially around purses. It was rather like having a toddler; I turned around and she was gone, lol. My niece did our family photo shoot yesterday, so I can't wait to see how those come out. The only downer is that I'm starting a cold; hope to nip it in the bud really quickly.
Looks like everyone's week is off to a good start! I'll sure miss you guys! Have a great week!
