Thread: Erilaya's Journey

Congrats on getting serious!!!

Hopefully, with the hubby's support you'll be able to stick to it! Maybe you could try what I've done... just make the kids eat what YOU eat and not the other way around. I know it'd be a strecth with 6 kids but you never know

Good luck!!! I'll be watching

Pogo sticking on the veranda...

too funny!

It IS funny huh?? actually they are quite good.. my 12 yr old Paul-David can do it for 300 bounces without stopping.11 yr old Michael can do it for 280 and 10yr old Alex can do it for 200.my 10 yr old Daughter Ashley decided to rollerblade instead.. and 5 yr old Aislynn just was a spectator. LOL.. 17 yr old Mark of course sat and made comments LOL..

and I got to soak for an hour! yahooo.

6 kids? Wow, you've been busy!
Just wanted to give you a big ! Great new goals! And I'm sure you're gonna reach 'em, seem to be a very determined lady!

Good luck,
NG

wow. you ran for an hour?
that's incredible! unless someone stuck a juicy steak to a pole and dangled it in front of me, I woldn't be able to run for that long!

An hour? Yuck.

I do good to do the elliptical trainer for 20min.

Morning Eri
Any gal who can eat a literal 1 CUP of Pasta is my hero

I had a pogo stick when I was a kid, I could bounce forever w/o stopping. Now I wonder why. Oh to be a kid again with no cares.

I hate the treadmill but.. its the only cardio I have at home.. I have a fullgym at home as well and my kickboxing equipment too. so on the day the weather is bad I do it at home.. I jogged it not ran!! LOL.. and I slowed down for the last 15 mins to what looked like joggin but I sure just looked like me flailing my arms around LOL I do the one hour 3 times a week. other times I do kickboxing for cardio.. or I spar with a good pal who is a boxer who decided last year NOT to turn pro... ( ug!!)

I like to pogo.. I still give it a whirl !! GO ahead and try it craig,your never to old to pogo!!!

but you still ran / jogged for an HOUR!
I'm with you, Fade. I never really go more than 20 -25 minutes on elliptical. First, I get whooped...and then bored...

Jeez, the sitting next to me brought in taco bell....the grease....oof.

Horrific News.. my dear friends home burned down this afternoon.. they too are a large family with 5 kids . and have lost everything! its been so surreal to see them going through this we are helping as much as we can and are trying to get fundraising started and rounding up help to start rebuilding..( they were in hard times till The "dad" started to work with my Hubs but just started.. so they were behind in bills and did not renew thier home insurance that ran out in July.. DAMN!!! The mom had to pull two of the smallest children out a back window.. on top of losing everything thier two beloved Pets died..

it is just sooo very sad..

hey-
Sorry to hear about your friends. You do truely have a huge heart to openly help as much as you do!
Hugs to you!

I'm truly saddened to here such a horrible tale. My deepest sympathy goes out to them. Thank goodness they have such good people like your family to help them out.

Thank you so much.. I am just reeling from this occurance.. it really hits home ... they are staying with family but will stay with us on weekends to get a break from the confined space... we have lots of room and room for the kids to run and play too.

Our friends are like Family.. and Ya GOTTA take care of Family.

I would hope others would come to my aide should such a disaster effect my loved ones .

Ug .. I should go to bed but I am way tooo wired.

Very sorry to hear about your friends Eri Hope everything works out, it will be hard for a while.

Good morning to you

GOOD DAY to you as Well Craig.. it surely makes one appreciate ones own exsistance I tell ya.. I am actually on my way over to get insurance on two of my other properties I rent out..( I have had minimum coverage .. Time to change that )
and check all my fire alarms and extinguishers.. got to be a good landlord ya know...

How is your day going>?

smiles

Looking good Eri~cept the chocolate shake and grapefruit combo

Sorry to hear about your friends. I cnanot imagine what that would be like. I hope they had some sort of ins. I am always driving myself crazy in the morning asking myself "Did I turn the stove/blowdryer off, did I lock the door" Its hard to imagine coming home to a burned down home and losing my doggies. Its so sad

No they did not have insurance... their coverage ran out in Juy but since Kirby was in a dead end job with no money ( sales) he had to let it go Thinking," Hey I will re-up it when things pick up.. "

so.. we are trying to get creative and do fundraisers and raffles and donations etc to get them back into thier home.. it was devastating for them for sure.. Darlene is still in shock over it. poor woman.

Thanks for the wishes I shall pass the thoughts on...

HEY .. I love Grapefruit.. and I only like it early in the day.. for some reason it makes me nauseas in the evening.. I dunno?
so I had to throw it in there.. I will have Before my shake tho...

smiles

My day is going good so far. I go to the doctor today to see what my MRI says about my knee.

It won't be good Craig. I can tell ya that. j/k
