30-Somethings - 30 Something's Weekend Chat: 4/26-4/27

MOrnin' All! :coffee:

It's dreary, but I see the sun trying to peak through! Come on Mr. Sun!! Please shine down on us!

morning all...lauren..we're in the same boat..the sun is thinking of coming out..however, i think the rain will end up being victor today.

I got up a bit early to go for a run before my chiro apt. I ran about 10 min took a 3 min walk and then ran another 8. So i feel good right now. Then came home and had a filling and actually delicious breakfast of egg white omelet with a pinch of parmesan cheese, watermelon, and a slice of bread. Im looking forward to moving my horse today. There are actually people to ride with and in addition, the owners actually go out to the mountains all the time ..so maybe i could go riding with them at some point.

Alright..i've rambled enough. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Lauren and Patricia!

Lauren - I am at 24 miles for this and last week combined. Thanks.

Snow here in MN overnight...anyway, off to watch kids at a church event and then a concert tonigt. Have a great Saturday everyone!

Hi everyone. I have sad news....kinda. I've had great losses this week, but forgot to take my bp med yesterday (fluid pill) so the scales didn't say what I expected them to this morning. :( I'm sure it's water, but depressing nonetheless.

Anyway, sounds like everyone's busy today. Busyness means no time for overeating, hopefully! :) My DH actually took both the kids with him to DS's baseball practice this morning.....I'm supposed to be cleaning up whie he's gone...he's been gone an hour and I've done nothing. :( Guess I should go and get busy, huh?? HOpe everyone has an AWESOME, AWESOME weekend! Don't know if I'll make it back before Monday.........Hope to see "less" of everone then! :)

Hey there all,

Yesterday we were in the lower 80's (81), today it is only supposed to be in the 60s. At least it is sunny with just a few puffy clouds.

Lauren, I wanted to remind you that I had about 12 miles for last week. I also wanted to tell you that I had 54 miles this week. - It has been a busy, busy sale week.

Mama, hows things for you? Have you been to EB lately? I am now the department manager over Petites and Plus sizes.

Well I have to get ready, I need to go get new tags for my car. Oh joy.

Lisa

good morning every one~
I don't know where all my time has gone, I sure miss you guys, it has been very busy around here.

Lisa it is so beautiful around here, it is suppose to be in the mid 80's.

Lisa good to see you!!!

Delta enjoy the concert

Christina sorry you have been sick, glad you are feeling better. we love th truck shows too. We take Sean to the one in Paris CA. it is a lot of fun for him, enjoy

Gaining sorry about the water thing, it sux!


Sean has been doing really well, which equals to a happy very happy me!!! his birthday was on the 24th, we are having his b-party today, he wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese, and that is just great, I don't have to worry about cleaning before and after. All though the weather here is in the mid 80's so we are putting up the water slide, the neighborhood kids are already knocking on the door, I asked them to come back at 10:30 am I am only going to have it up for about 2 hours and then we have to go to Ch.E.Ch.
My weight is about the same it fluctuates between 106 and 110 Lbs. I don't get it, but I am happy. I have been knitting a lot, I don't have anything finished, I am doing a couple of very complicated patterns, I hope to have one done by the end of the week, :crossed:





Sean's birthday was on the 24th. we are having his b-party today at 2 at Chuck E. Cheese, thats where he wanted it, to me sounded just fine and dandy.

afternoon all..well mr. sunshine is winning the battler right now. The sky's cleared up and its about 78. stitting on my front porch watching my dog sun herself while palying on the internet (ahhh the joys of going wireless). Pony move went well. I really like the people who owne the place. funny thing is they are both chiropracters LOL. But they've already invited me to go riding with them in the mountains. Nice laid back people. My chiro apt went great. My c2 was out of whack...i feel so much better after a little work. looking forward to going back.

gaining-try not to get so flustered with all the weight changes. i recommend only weighing yourself 1 x a week. you really seem to be hard on yourself with minor wt fluctuations.

it seems like everyone is doing well with their working out. I don't log my miles...but i know i'm working out...i never really now how far i go bacause i do such variable things. But good job everyone.

i've actually been very strict this week with my eating...and i'm feeling good. I'm limiting my carbs (not totally off but only whole carbs). and i've eaten a ton of fresh fruit/veggies...and really limited my soda..can you believe it..ive only had one can of coke in 5 days. i'm amazed myself. we'll see if it pays off this week

hannah glad to see u back. figured you've been busy. 106-110 as a weight is awesome...i could only hope to get there...my goal wt is 130.

Well guys, it's noon and I got VERY busy cleaning and forgot to eat breakfast...wasn't hungry. So I'm having a pretty big lunch.....total daily points are 28....I'm having 13 of 'em for lunch! A chicken breast sandwich and 2 servings of tater tots....2 because I love 'em! Probably why my butt is as big as a house! :rofl: I deserve it, though...I've been VERY good this week. Guess this'll be my splurge!

happy2be, hope you do well at ChECH. I'd cave around pizza! I love it too. :( (another reason we so lovingly refer to it as my BIG BERTHA BOOTY!!) My daughter's bday was April 3rd. She turned 3. GREAT month for a birthday! MIddle of spring! :)

Gonna get up to mid-70's here today....upper-60's tomorrow. By week's end we'll be flirting with 90, they say. SHEESH.....spring didn't last long enough! :( I've cleaned my house fairly well.....gonna go get my tots outta the oven and happily devour them then find something else to get in to! Have a GREAT one ya'll!

Gator, we were posting at the same time....I am really hard on myself. I tried to talk myself outta weighing this morning....but the scales were almost literally screaming "Step on me!!" One day I'll learn to ignore! :lol: Sounds like you've had a GREAT week! Pat yourself on the back! You deserve it! :)

looks like everyone is having a great weekend so far!

hanna: have fun at chuckie cheese...we love going there too...seems like mario and sean have a lot in common even with the age difference!...kids are kids and they all love the fun stuff!...have fun...oh, tell sean HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM MARIO AND DOMINIC!

lisa: great job on the miles girl!...keep up the great work

gg: im with you on going wireless...little mario is out in the backyard running around (being superman!) and im sitting on the steps online...love it..makes life easier since i am completely addicted to the internet (i should go to a support group)..enjoy your weather

diana: sorry about the weight...but ifyou forgot to take your meds that could be it...dont be hard on yourself, tomorrow is a new day...and if you want tater tots once in a while well you have them!..i had a milkshake last night...i try to get one once a week...i love them and im not going to keep myself from them..just in moderation...have a great day!

i went and weighed this morning...down 2 pounds...last week i was up 1 pound and i never moved my ticker but this week i lost last weeks gain plus one...im happy...i just want to be at my goal..soon i keep telling myself...

lauren: i forgot i did 10.75 miles this week..

ok all have a great afternoon

Christina, I am sure that you could find a support group, online! :rofl: I crack myself up.

Hanna, so good to see you. Tell Sean Happy Birthday from me too. My exersize was all done at work! Major sale days, plus the getting ready for them. This sale lasts all next week too. At least I don't have to set the sales.

Well off to do some expoloring.

Lisa

Hey, hey, hey

Glad to hear everyone seems to be having a decent Sat. I had praise team practice this morning then had to rush home to pick up little DS from b-ball practice to go to big DD's AAU b-ball game, now we're working on putting a border around the kids playset. I'm getting ready to go run I think, gets me outta lifting those boards for a bit. Then big DD has another game in a couple of hours. I'm tired already and I've got a busy day tomorrow to look forward to. This whole month of May is gonna absolutely slam me. i need to have a yard sale before graduation, then I've got lots to fo to get ready for grad. HELP!

I probably won't check back in til Mon. so have a great weekend.

Lauren, I have 65 miles this week. I slowed down a bit.

Trish

Howdy all!! Sorry I have been gone for so long. I have been trying to purchase a company. Hasn't been going too well and we are still in negotiations.

No weight loss. *sigh* but things are moving around so that is....good......I think.

hope everyone is well
back to business planning

Hi guys. Whew, I am flat out bushed!! We kept Alex running today so he wouldn't spaz out about the party. We were up and at the school for Tball pics by 9AM. Then we did the craft at Lowe's and ran around doing last minute stuff for the party. The party was great, the karate teacher kept them all pretty busy. Alex had a breakdown at home and it took him forever to get himself under control. And we have company for dinner/TV watching. I'm ready for bed but I think the company will be here for awhile. Luckily it's DH's friend so I don't have to entertain him!!

Sounds like we are all having a pretty busy weekend!!

Hey everyone!

Hanna and Karen, hope both of your boys had a nice birthday today! It def can be worth it to have the birthdays somewhere else sometimes.

Lauren, I had 5 miles for this week, thanks so much! BTW, I think you asked me about the primary vs the elementary. Primary has prek thru 2nd and the elementary is 3-5.

Hello to everyone else, hope all are enjoying their weekend.

Things were better here today. I think DH felt guilty about our fight, he worked on the yard all day and gave the dogs a bath. I literally drove kids around ALL day, which can be exhausting! I am still not feeling good, I may go to the dr next week if I don't feel better.

Nighty-nite all,
Alicia

hi everyone!

Karen congratulations on the birthday too!
I am glad is was great, sorry about the melt down, was he too tired?

Alicia I am glad dh is doing better w/you.

The birthday party went really well, I didn't invite one of our neighbors (one of the once causing so many problems) and all the neighborhood kids got a long great, I am not surprised at all!!! and very happy.
I am very scattered this days, I thought we were going to have about 12 kids max, NOT, we had 25 and 10 adults, we all had a great time, the staff at Chuck E Cheese was great! the cake was delicious and the kids had a blast, we started at 2:00 PM the "party" ended at 3:30 PM sharp, the staff asked to please clear the table they had other people coming in for more parties, we all stayed w/our kiddos till 5:15 PM then we came home and I had about 10 kids come over w/their bathing suits and we put on the water slide, the party ended at 7:30 PM, I am glad everyone is gone, it was a great day, but I am exhausted!!! Tomorrow we are having more kids coming over to get on the water slide, I am planning on just laying in the sun and knit.

I forgot to tell you guys I got a hair cut, I went from having very long hair to no hair at all, I am donating 12 inches to locks of love I will post pictures tomorrow. I am thrilled w/the style and the cut!!!

Got to go rest!
see you guys tomorrow

GG I am so happy you found a nice place for the pony!

Lisa :hug: you are too cute and funny.

Hey Lisa, haven't been to EB lately. Congrats on the promotion!! Yoou can give me a discount now right? lol j/k of course!

I'm not to talkative today, been nursing a migraine since Friday night. Just wanted to pop in and say Hi and let you all know that I haven't taken a leave again. lol Hopefully I'll be better later today or tomorrow!

Good morning Chicksters!!!

Sounds like everyone has an enjoyable fun-filled weekend. Went to the World Dance Show last night...what fun!! The first half was all of my teachers students, the second was professional dancers. Everything from flamenco to sword dancing to hula...it was really inspiring to see women of EVERY SHAPE AND SIZE BARING THEIR BELLIES!!! so cool!! Anyway, my friend and I went out for drinks after & didn't get home til 1:30 am...and we had two guys hit on us, I think. Funny!!

So, today I have to go to a baby shower where the only person I know is the mom-to-be..so boring. But, hey that's what friends do, right??

HOe everyone has a wonderful afternoon. gonna go finish my coffee. Will get back to individuals tomorrow,too many to write today, lol!!!

Lauren, I have 13 miles this week and 9 for last, for got to post last week. Thanks, deary!!!

Pam

Hey everyone. Think I may have gone over point allowance yesterday, but after the GREAT week I've had, WHO CARES!!! LOL If I did, it wasn't by much.

Had an 8 a.m. hair appointment this morning (yes, on a Sunday...there's a first for everything! lol) Now we're gettin' ready for church....guess I should go help!

Glad everyone's birthday parties went well.....makes me tired just reading about them! :rofl: It was us a couple weekends ago...when dd turned 3. My kids are spaced exactly 6 months (their birthdays, not them) apart. I have time to recover from one really well before the next....and my house gets a spring cleaning twice a year! :)

Here's hoping for a GREAT eating day for us all! :) Good luck everyone!

Mornin' All!

Wow, thanks Lauren for keeping up the spreadsheet. When I look at the numbers I am ashamed of myself. I need to crack the whip at myself ~ truely and seriously.

Hanna, thanks so much for the hug. Be careful with over doing ~ remember that doing too much can put you into a fiber fog and those aren't fun.

GG, how are you enjoying your weekend? I remembered you had it off ~ cause I have it off too. Hope you are getting lots of time with your pony.

Hope the rest of you have a good rest of weekend. :wave:

Lisa

Hi all, new here but really enjoying getting to know you all. Sounds like you are all having fun weekends!

ChuckECheese's - love their pizza. It has that garlicky crust. mmm:p

I have to work this weekend (I work nights), but I actually got up a little early to check out the posts. When I woke up, my sister had taken DD somewhere for some fun, so it's nice and quiet in the house for a change!

You guys are doing great with your workouts. That's one area where I definitely need some motivation, so reading yours makes me want to go log some miles so I have something to post! :p On my work nights, I usually do a fair amt of running, plus I work 12 hour shifts, so I usually pretty much sleep in between them. Off Monday and Tuesday this week, a great chance to get to the gym while DD is at school!

Enjoy your sunday eve, everyone!:carrot:

Today is totally all messed up...........I'm snacky, snacky, snacky!!! :( Tomorrow's a new day though.....not gonna beat myself up about it. Just wanted to pop in to share..... :lol:

Hi, all,

Our Saturday was really nice. We thought it was going to rain all day, but it didn't. We set out to go walking...well, dh set out sooner and the kids & I caught up to him.

When we were standing & talking, when we caught up, the funniest thing happened. This little baby squirrel just came up to us and started following us around! It wasn't a TEENY baby, but it was a little one. Cute little chubby thing, too. It kept following us when we started to walk, would hide under the stroller basket. It kept sniffing at and nibbling on our son's shoe. It started to climb up on our daughter's shoe (she was in the stroller). We couldn't believe it!

I think it must've been like that because someone probably found it as a teeny baby and has been raising it. And it was lost, or the person had let it go, thinking it would be fine. But it was really following us...for several blocks.

I wanted to get it back to our place so we could get it in a box and I could call an animal sanctuary/refuge or something. But dh put a damper on that. He felt we shouldn't worry about it like that, and that it's a wild animal regardless, and he was more than happy for the opportunity that arose when three 20-something gals were walking and the little squirrel went with them.

It was hard on the kids & I. Our son (12) got all teared up because he was worried no one would know how to take care of it. Our daughter (4) was bawling because she wanted to take it with us! But I know dh was also worried about the chance that it might be carrying something...as healthy as it appeared, there's always that chance, so I know he was right. But MAN. And then it was pouring overnight and both our son & I were worried about the poor thing. I hope it made its way somewhere okay.

The up side of not taking it home with us was that we ended up hiking up this trail that started up in the cemeteries where we walk (not being morbid, I swear, but they have nice, off-the-road lanes through them). It brought us up to the top of a hill, where we then followed a dirt utility road for quite some distance. We happened upon the remains of an old property...well, not much remaining of the house, but there was a huge stockpile of coal (we live in the coal region of PA). Dh asked the guy at church who we had run into, who told us about the trail, and he said that someone owned (and still owns) that land, and they used to bring in loads of coal and just piled it up in this HUGE pile, and they just ended up abandoning it. It's kind of wild, but it was very cool.

So we had a great day. I estimate we walked/hiked around for at least a couple hours.

I'm glad I probaby earned about 8 bonus WW points, because we ended up having pizza for dinner, lol. I actually did alright without those, though. I probably only went a couple points into my flex points, without counting in the exercise.

Today we completely took off, and ended up at our fave. Asian buffet. I did well, though. Made a salad with lettuce, tomatoes & cukes, and a little Italian dressing. Had some boiled shrimp and cocktail sauce, some sushi roll pieces, and some canteloupe.

Anyway! Rambling on here. Need to go count up my points and see how I'm doing today.

my weekend is going well. yesterday had a nice day with dh running around doing errands. Then dh decided he had to have a burger...so i was bad since we went to 5 guys burger and fries...LOOOOVE their burgers. This am..i had to get up early to go to my military muster..i'm in the IRR (individual ready reserve) for another 1.5 yrs..just have to report once a year and they try to convince me to join the active guard or reserves. That took a few hrs..then dh and i went to downtown marietta for their food festival. I actually did good. DH and i shared an empanada, red beans and rice, a fish taco and a cupcake. all the servings were small...so i was inpressed that i was actually full with 4 tapas style food that dh and i shared. It was neat to see all the local places. We have a few new ideas now (: . After the food festival..i went down to the barn. I spent over 2 hrs there...it was great...i love it out there...and dunny seems happy.

Hannah- did i get you on the bann wagon with the donating hair. We should start a thread for all those that want to do somethign like that....good for you. I want to see pics.

lisa- my weekend has been great...hope you are enjoying your wkend too.

hey to everyone else...hope everyone is well!!!!!

Dianna yes I was exhausted after the long day, I went to bed at 9:45 PM and I fell asleep right away. It was great!

GG what a great weekend you had, thank you for your services to the military :hug: what is happening w/work, are you at the same place? I have not been here for a while.

Lovemyfam what a neat story about the little squirrel. You did get a nice walk! the place you found sound really nice.

:welcome3: burhenns. this is a great place! where do you work? keep motivated!
I am very tired, the day started rather early
2 kids go here at 9:30 ready to get on the water slide, the weather was beautiful. However I opened the door to the backyard so the little dudes could go out and as soon as I opened it, oh my! my eyes and nose started itching and running the Santa Ana winds mess up w/my allergies pretty bad. I am not looking forward to this part of the hot weather. :yikes: We started the water slide at about 10 or little after and it is now 7:45 PM and just got quiet. Sean had a great day, they all had a great time and I am whipped. The neighborhood kids were here ALL day! they had lunch, they had snacks and they had dinner here, can you tell this is the house to come too? I am tired!!!!
Well I will see you guys tomorrow, I am going to go watch the finally of Big Brother.

I tired posting pictures of the new hair do here but I couldn't do it, I posted them on my webshots site:
(same place where I keep my knitting stuff)
