I am so happy that you are sounding more like your chipper self and you're getting hold of the snack monster. I hope you have a great Sunday with the hubby! 

I am saying recurrent prayers for you and yours my dear buddy. Does the wood chopping make you sore? I bet it is a great work out! Have a good Sunday! 

<singing> I'm a lumber-jack and I'm O-kay! :) Hope you get to work out your chopping muscles today. My thoughts and prayers are with you - hoping for a great appointment with the doc on Tuesday! I've been lax with the food diary for a couple days. I'll use your example to inspire me to jump back to it! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend! 

I really don't do a lot of the chopping/splitting of the wood. I'm just no good at it. I'm also not allowed to use the chainsaw!! LOL!!! So, my job is picking up the log sections, hoisting them onto the chopping block so hubby can split the log. I also load wood into the truck, help with stacking, stabilize logs for him to cut with the chainsaw ... etc. A lot of bending over so my rear gets sorer than anything else!! Oh and scratches from the wood, splinters, sawdust everywhere ... I am quite the site when we are done!! 

That sounds like an excellent workout. I've done that before and remember being VERY sore afterwards! 

I thought I was the only one not allowed to use the chain saw. I'm chief humper and shifter too! Very elegant look when you've finished isn't it? 

LOL!!! Yes Flaxseed ... elegant indeed!!!  

Hi moose: As you have probably noticed, I've fallen a bit behind on things Fatsecret. Today, I'm so happy to see your chart pulling back dramatically into the "strike zone." I knew you would hang in there because you are inherently strong and will not allow yourself the luxury of losing your way during this critical period. I looked at the Cyberknife Treatment and it looking interesting to me as well, but I know little of these matters. With all my heart, I pray that things work out favorably for your husband on Teusday. 

thanks Info ... he is really struggling ... worrying so much about me being okay and really not feeling hopeful about the future. I know he needs to talk to me about all the things he wants me to do when he is no longer here but it is emotionally exhausting for me. I know I need to "keep my way" during this time ... otherwise I'll just end up feeling worse. No worries about being "behind" ... you have quite a few buddies and a life of your own!!! I wish y'all could see me right now ... woodchips and sawdust just about everywhere!!! We're done for the day I think ... shower in my future!!
