I know it's been forever since I posted anything, let alone a Friday Frag. I'm sorry, my darlings ... Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day! Most of the time, actually ... I'm kind of starting to think they've shortened days, to be honest ... So - I know you're wondering what could possibly have me so busy. The suspense is killing me too!- I'm still working out, but stepped away from the 30 Day Shred because it was making my knees hurt. I'm aiming to work out about 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week - doing one thing or another. Currently I'm alternating between a boxing workout and kettlebell routines. I've made huge strides in my strength, endurance, and balance. I feel fantastic!
- The scale was killing me, though. It wouldn't budge. And even though I know that can be deceiving when you're working out since muscle is denser than fat (a pound of fat takes up 7 times more room than a pound of muscle - amazing, right?), it was still really discouraging. So I swore off the scale for the whole month of July. It's much easier to give up than I thought it would be. I feel like I'm emancipated! Although right before June ended and the no-weigh challenge began, I did drop 4 pounds just like that by cutting my sodium in half - which was nice. *grin*
- Not like I care (I'm not a basketball fan), but apparently LeBron James has announced he's leaving Cleveland for Miami. Frankly, I'm glad to see him go. Maybe I can hear about something else on the local news now. Sheesh.
- I've been hanging out with a new friend - which is nice, since I don't have very many because nobody really likes me. But for now she does, so I'll enjoy it until she too decides I suck. She's actually dating a longtime friend of ours. She's super fun and they seem to bring out the best in each other. It's good to see them so happy.
- I'm almost done with the scrapbooks I've been making for my mom and mother-in-law. I've enjoyed doing these but I can't say as I'm sorry to get them behind me. I need to work on my own stuff!
- My Dad is still in limbo. He's still having tests done and trying to figure out what he should do. The docs say anything from a simple removal of the affected area to taking out the entire lobe. He's kind of a Nervous Norvis anyway, and he's crapping bricks about it. Not that it isn't understandable to do so. I'm hoping they figure out what the hell they're doing and he gets his surgery scheduled soon - the sooner they get that growth out of his lung the better.
I have more but I need to run. Hopefully I'll come back and add on in a bit. Hope all of you are well! xoxoxo

congratulations on the fitness! way to go!
hope your dad's dr. decides the right thing. sarge and i have both had a lobe removed. it's not as easy as it looks but mine was 5 years ago and i had the "big" surgery. sarge had the new kind, thoroscopic. don't know if that is spelled right but they cut three small holes, camera, scalpel, and removal. he was out of the hospital in 5 days!
recovery is still a bugger though. exercise before and build the lung strength is the best advice i can give him.

Awww...sorry to hear they've still not decided what to do for your dad. I'll keep praying that they make the right decision and get on with things so he can begin healing.
You go, woman! I need to get my behind in gear and do something. I've finally figured out it's my general state of tiredness that's making me so unmotivated this summer. I'm staying up late because that's when Princess finally comes out of her hole (room) and wants to talk or I'm waiting for her to get home. Then I'm up at 4:00 with Tim, then the dogs will want out. If I get back to sleep they seem to wake me again by 6:30-7:00. So I'm getting maybe 5 hours a night and not all in one stretch. It's making me a slug.
I'm still saying prayers and making animal sacrifices for your dad. And I don't, for one minute, believe you don't have any friends. You have people who love you but their schedules do not coincide with yours, so they aren't able to see you as much. But you do have friends. Now me…I have as many as my billfold can manage.
I will send up well wishes for your dad. AND I'm totally with you on the Lebron thing .. OMG, WHY has EVERY SINGLE newscast for the past two weeks been led off with this guy? It's a GAME, people! Geez, I want to hear about real news, OK?

I will say a prayer for your dad for peace for his situation.
Your fragment about having a new friend is moving; I have no frame of reference for feeling that way. I wish you well in the friendship.
Bravo on the exercise and diet changes! Good for you!
Already talked to you about your dad before I read this.
I don't have any friends either :(
...except you, of course! :)
It's so interesting what you said about not having any friends. My closest friends live hundreds of miles away from me. The other friends that I have in town are people that come from all over the country and are only here temporarily. It's like I can only make friends with people who live no where near me.
Prayers to your father and congrats on working on your weight and exercise.
