Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through.

Can I Get a Witness?- Weigh In

2 lbs down!  The Mr and I dance...

Isolating my thumb is proving to be a pain in the arm (and neck) with my sling but I'll do whatever it takes to heal it right now.  Ice, massages and finding interesting new ways to open jars using one hand.  This weekend I will be re-working our exercise plan for the rest of the month to include non-punching activitahs and given I burned 1165 calories just hiking at our local park on a non-sweltering day and 830 in 38 minutes of step aerobics, (cue Mary Tyler Moore music) "I might just make it after alllllll!"

    Very cool, congrats on the weight loss!! I had forgotten about the massage part of my recovery. That helped a lot too!

    So I was thinking about hiking and stepping . . . . . . maybe you could add some step dancing??? Oh, wait, I only suggest things I'd do myself and that has danger written all over it. Flying body parts, you know. NEVER MIND. Have a great and fun weekend!

    Good for you!! Would physical therapy help the thumb to heal any quicker? Your determination (stubbornness? lol) ever amazes and inspires me!

    YES YOU CAN!

    Great loss. I know the scale has been giving you a hard time lately, but you deserve a loss every single week.

    Certainly a big WOOHOO from my corner of the world. And the hiking is wonderful...you can manage to go for a little while longer without punching things, I suppose.
