We got lucky and were in the clear, BUT I have been a nervous wreck over my sissy in college! She's in Abilene and they had 2 tornado warnings and now they are gettin' hit again.

She is trying to freakin' recover from surgery. She blew out her acl in basketball and they had to take muscle from her leg to put in her knee.

I need to try and get some sleep bc we will get hit this next round at 6AM with high winds and possible tornadic activity.

MaeMae's phone stopped getting a signal I guess and I cannot reach her now.

I've given myself a headache from worry.

I better get to bed.

Food was on plan today and too much has been going on for me to get a serious work-out..

I was able to at least get this in.

Exercise Bike:

4.4 ml - Level 2 & 3 - Used dumbbells to work upper body/arms while riding -

165 Cals Burned

I'll do better tomorrow.

Nite-Nite

Hi Stacy

It really is an eye-opener for me what horrible weather you all seem to get. Some of you get months on end of horrible snow whilst others seem to get terrible storms and tornadoes. I feel so sorry for you.

I am pleased that you got the water back and I am not surprised that you feel extra grimy. We all feel like that when the water has been off - it is the fact that you could not wash when you wanted to. I can imagine how the OCD magnifies that for you.

Well done on getting any exercise in - you will do more tomorrow. We never expected to win the battle in one day.

I am sure that it will turn out that Mae-Mae is fine - we always worry when we cannot get through to people.

Take care
Love
Margaret

Hello darlin' . Such an excellent job on the bike! Keep it up.

Margaret, the weather here in New York is very temperate compared to the extreme weather you hear about from the others. In the winter its usually above freezing temperature and I believe we only had 1 or 2 very minor snow storms this year. We dont tend to get drouts and floods and things either (though the state next to us has some rivers which seem to flood the towns regularly). Keep in mind this is a huge country so conditions are very very different depending on where you are. My sis in Florida is already in the 80's, which is already warmer than England tends to get in the summers.

Hey there! I saw pics of tornado damage in Texas on the news last night, and thought of you. Hope all is well, and that you got in touch with Mae-Mae.

I like Sheryl's idea of pretending to run over people on your bike. I might try that myself.

Hi Beautiful Friends,

What a freakin' morning I tell ya.

As soon as I posted my last message and was powering down the computer for bed, ZuZu was growling and I peeped out the window and found 2 men breaking into cars in front of our bld.

I turned the lights off and called 911 - I was talking to dispatch giving them all the details of what I was watching the guys do while waiting for the police.

An officer was 2 streets over patrolling the area and was here in a flash.

A 2nd officer pulled up and they had both men on the ground thank goodness.

Once the guys were in the police car, an officer came to my door asking for all the info. I saw and then asked me to help them find the residents of the cars.

I got dressed and showed them where everyone lived.

Ms. ZuZu was the star/hero and she ended up w/tons of doggie treats.

lol

I didn't get to bed until almost 3AM and then was woke up at 4:05AM with ZuZu crying. I got up and then heard our tornado sirens.

Thank gosh for my precious daughter ZuZu!

I ran outside to see if we were in trouble but everything was passing just shy of us. As soon as I got back inside & turned on the news, I learned Mesquite was not in trouble but it was our border cities.

My husband works in Addison which was hit. Their plant was evacuated to their safety bld. and they lost all power bc of down power lines and damage.
Thank gosh he and others were ok.

They all got sent home of course bc the plant didn't have power.

He got home at 5AM. He said the hwy was a mess..Tree branches - debree - etc!

MaeMae is ok bless her heart. She was scared.

I've had 4 hrs. sleep. This will be a long day. lol

Wow! What a night! Miss ZuZu is quite the hero.

I'm glad that you and your family are all ok.

That's cool that the bad guys got caught.

I know, bc most often w/crimes such as this they are never found/busted.

I think it worked out bc an officer was only 2 streets away when he got the call.

Thanks Kimberly. It was a rough morning..lol..

So far it looks like we'll finally get a dern break. At this time they are saying we'll have sunshine/some cloudy days and it should be beautiful 5 days.

Most in the mid-70's. That'll be great walking weather.

Been back a few from picking up Cory from school.

I'm gonna dust and then vacuum. That will be the only cleaning for today bc I'm too tired lol.

I'll finish my chores tomorrow and everything will be spotless.

I hope to have enough energy to get on the bike and also do pilates.

I don't think I'll lose anything this week..(tomorrow I weigh in).

I just hope to not see a gain!

This week has been difficult:

Kidney Infection
On Meds
RA messed up my Feet/Off-On Swollen
Low Energy - Not enough Rest
B-Day Cake (Hubby's b-day on the 8th)
Bad Weather - Lack of Sleep
Drama Last Night
Tomorrow should be the last day for RHC.. (my period)

Sheesshhh!

Wow Stacey, that is a wild adventure of a night. Those idiot thieves must've gotten quite the shock when the cops showed up considering they do always seem to get away with it, like you said. Zuzu's the shiat! Bless her little heart. I just love animals to pieces. I miss my baby pit bull puca so much. She died last summer.

Keep up the good work Stace .

LOL & Thanks Cita.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious puca.

ZuZu is my angel baby. I didn't know you could love a pet so much!?!

***

Whelp, I'm pooped and going to bed..lol..

The coolest thing happened tonight!

Brian, (the guy that had both cars broken into), came over tonight and gave ZuZu a whole box of milkbones and gave us a $50 On The Border/Chili's Gift Card!

That was too flippin' sweet.

I told him he was precious and he did not have to do that.
He put his foot down and wanted us to have everything. lol

That just made my night. What a great guy.

Sleep Tight Everyone!

What a night! Whew, hope you get some good sleep.

Who knew you had such a little guard dog. That was so nice of your neighbor to come over and thank you. The dog bones...now that was a nice touch.

I'm glad to hear that you escaped major tornado disaster and that Mae Mae and hubby are safe!

Hi & Thanks L-Lemon.

I agree!

****

Whelp guys,

just as I thought - I only lost 0.5 lbs

Oh well, I'll take it.

As explained above, there was a lot going on w/me this week. LMBO!

Next weigh in will be better!

It's been a busy morning of cleaning. I'm no where near done, so I have a lot to tend to today.

Have A Great Friday/Weekend Everyone!

I should be finished w/the cleaning in about an hour and a half.

I'm sweatin', so at least I'm burning cals. lol

Once finished and before my shower I'll hop on the bike.

Can't wait to be finished.

Once I'm out of the shower, I have to go through all my coupons and make out the grocery list.
We are out of everything, so tomorrow is the big shopping day.

Hope y'all are havin' a great TGIF!

Hey girl--a half a pound loss is great after the week you had! Every little bit adds up.

That was nice of the neighbor to drop off the milkbones and gift card. I'm sure all 3 of you can have a nice dinner out with that, and bring home a doggy bag for ZuZu.

Great job getting the cleaning done and the exercise.

Have a great weekend yourself!

Thanks so much sweetie!

I'm really tired and reasy for bed.

It has been a long day.

Food was on plan and I got in 20 mins. pilates.

I cleaned all day to so I hope I burned a lot of cals.

I'll get a good work out tomorrow pulling two buggys around the store - loading/unloading groceries/going up-down stairs - etc.

Nite All...
