Morning Kier- you do sound busy! That's great news about the internship and I know you'll enjoy your spring break vacation. Glad to hear your Gram's angio plasty went so well.

I'm patting myself on the back today because today marks 1 week of eating within my points each and every day. I can't remember the last time I managed that so I've decided it is a cause for celebration.

Yesterday, I was the only person to show up for my yoga class so my instructor gave me a private lesson. It was wonderful! We did more advanced stuff then what we usually do in class and she let me know exactly what was right about my form in various asanas and also gave me tips for getting deeper into some of them. I'm actually sore today which hasn't happened from yoga in at least a year. Anyway, I loved, loved, loved it. If I were rich I'd treat myself to private lessons.

Well, I should take a look at my inbox and see what the day holds in store for me. Hope that things are going well for all of you and that staying OP is easy today.

Hi - I have bad news. My niece, Carmen Jayne, was born with congenital heart defect called Ebstiens Anomoly. Carmen was moved to another hospital on Friday and I had to leave work to be with my sister, who was in rough shape, at another hospital. She is in NICU and will be transported to Edmonton for surgery either today or tomorrow. I'll post a pic of her sometime today.

In the meantime, my b/f has told me he doesn't want to marry me, that he doesn't want to be like my sisters and their husbands and that after spending one day and night with my 3 year old neice, who was a WONDERFUL little person, no temper tantrums or anything, doesn't want children. All this after just 2 weeks ago he said he wanted to marry and have kids.

Pretty sure this was one of the hardest weekends of my life. To make matters worse, I have so much work this week, plus I am out of town on Thursday and in a wedding friday/Satruday - and I forgot the damn dress which has to be pressed ASAP. I'd ask my b/f for some help, but he doesn't seem to interested in helping me. While my neice was in critical condition he was out drinking.

Thanks for letting me vent. Hope you are all well - I don't have time to read the posts today but I'll try tonight....

Belle

Good morning, Kier! Sounds like things are really hectic for you, hope things calm down soon.

I'm not sure how I'm doing this morning. :lol: I'm in a pretty decent mood, but kind of kicking myself in the backside for last night... I got home from second job and couldn't keep myself out of the kitchen. Now, I know I'm getting TOM and I haven't had a single out-of-control eating spree until last night, so I really have kind of accomplished something. :dizzy: And even last night wasn't too bad. I just went a little overboard with the Hershey's Nuggets and reduced fat pepperoni. :shrug:

Me and a couple of friends were supposed to be going to Hooters tonight, but I think those plans have been cancelled, which is good. I couldn't find nutritional info about them anywhere, so I couldn't even prepare myself.

Jayne--I'm ready for winter, too. Of course, once it gets here, I'll wish it was summer, so I don't know what I'm talking about. :)

Yeah, I'm wondering where Lisa is. I'll see if I can do some investigative work and maybe find her email address someplace.

Deb--My mom is feeling better. She's on a lot of antibiotics and having some diarrhea, poor thing. But hopefully she'll be feeling 100% soon. Thanks for asking, it was nice of you to be concerned, especially after all my stress last week. :stress:

Ali--I can't believe how cold I get now that I've lost weight. I have a fan on my desk from my "fat days" that I haven't used since I started losing.

Well, ladies, that's about all I know right now. I'll check back in later. :wave:

Good morning!

Well, feeling better, but still tired!! I must go on!!!!

I saw that you all were asking about Lisa yesterday, I do have her email, so I sent her a message to see what was up.

I have been pretty OP for the last week, but my water and excercise has completely faltered. I will get it back though!!

Well, I am going to finish reading the posts, and eat my breakfast. I will check back in a bit....

I'm so happy for the both of you ( or, as they say in my hometown of Milwaukee, da boat uv youse).

Kier, I will come and organize you on one condition -- I want to hear MORE!!! More on dirty weekend, more about tv show internship. I live my exciting life through you all, so let me know what I did this weekend and what I will be doing on "my" internship. I'm glad your Grandma is doing well...it's very hard when the people we love aren't doing well...if you're like me, you would gladly go through it in their place so they wouldn't hurt! And a spring break in Ireland...all I can say is, Girl, you better figure out a way to send us a postcard! :)

Laura, WOOOOO HOOOOOO...I don't know that I've EVER gone a whole week OP. I'm so off track that I've just ( at your suggestion, too :) ) began focusing on water and exercise, and am adding the whole eating regime back in slowly. And a private yoga lesson...I really need to get up the courage ( as well as the time :( ) to go to the yoga class at my health club. It looks os relaxing..they turn off all the light and just burn candles, and have some Sarah McLaughlin or Enya-type of music playing.

Yeah, the whole diet thing is crap. As you all know, for the past two months or so I have been trying and trying to get my butt motivated. And I get temporarily motivated, for like a day or two. Then I just quit caring altogether. I need to get back on this...I gained five pounds back, and I don't want it. My pants aren't fitting as beautifully as they were a month ago. Must Get Serious!!!!!!
On the positive side, I have been doing well with water and exercise. I think I just have to get the damn Halloween candy out of the house. I was going to be saintly and leave it unopened until the night of, but when we were out of town, my neighbor girls opened it up and had themselves a little chocolate fest. So now I have kti kats, hershey bars, almond joys, peanut butter cups, and other nummy chocolate concoctions calling to me from the tupperware cabinet where I tried to hide it. I may send it to work with Drew just to get it away from me!

Ok, enough for now, must go and pretend to get something done around here.

Belle ~

I am so sorry honey for the terrible week. I hope Carmen comes thru surgery with flying colors. Surgeons can do amazing things nowadays. As for the bf, that is something to really think about. If he is serious, you have to decide if you can continue to live together without getting married, and most importantly, not having children. Do what you feel is best for you!! :) Hang in there, we are here for ya!!

Hi Jess, way to hold back!! I am glad your mom is getting better. I haven't seen any nutritional info on Hooters either, that must mean it is a terrible place to eat!! :)

Well, take care everyone!!

Laura--Your yoga class sounds great. You've been doing yoga for a year? That's impressive!

Belle-- Oh, honey, it sounds like things aren't going too well for you. :grouphug: I know I speak for all of us in saying that we're all here for you, so don't hesitate to cry on our shoulders. Please do keep us posted on what's happening with your niece, and push BF to the back of your mind. He sounds a lot like my BF, sometimes he's great, sometimes he's such an a-hole. Don't worry about him right now, concentrate on more important things, sweetie, like taking care of yourself and your sister.

OK, now I'm going to work... :lol:

Hi, Tonya! We were posting at the same time, again! :lol: Way to go staying OP last week. Once you've got that down, the water and exercise will improve before you know it and it should be just coasting!! (I hope).

Now, I really, really am going to get some work done.

So many posts while I was posting...

Tonya, let's just put ourselves together and make one person...that would be on track with eating, water, and exercise! Let us know wassup with Lisa...I'm worried.

Jess, let's get all the chocolate the **** out of our lives, ok? :) In a few short weeks, I too will be longing for summer...just goes to show you that we are NEVER satisfied.

Belle, honey, omg...you have way too much on your plate right now, for anyone. Your niece has to come first for you right now...before dumb bf, before work concerns, just be there for your sister. How is the prognosis on the little one? Is this something that can be fixed with surgery, or only temporarily dealt with? I am praying for your family...please let your sister know that, maybe it will ease her mind a bit. Not that it could...Aaron was in the NICU after he was born, and I couldn't do anything or think of anything until I at least knew he was going to be ok...wouldn't take phone calls or anything. I feel so much for your family. Hang in there!

By the way, Jess, I hate to admit it, enlightened woman that I am, but I LOVE Hooter's wings!!! The bad news is, they are 4 points apiece. :( Yes, these are wings, not drumsticks ( although they are giant...almost the size of drumsticks). When I eat there, I can eat like 4, max, and I am stuffed. So if you do some strategic banking and lowpoint meals, it can be done.

Hey everyone! Remember me? Yeah, I guess I kind of dropped off the face of the dieting planet for oh...a month or so. Things have been super hectic around here. I have this research project/internship thing that was starting to get a little out of control (an 8-10 hour commitment suddenly blossoms into 15-20, not to mention classes!). But, I really need to get myself back into gear on this, because my clothes are starting to feel a little too form fitting again. GACK! Managed to have a pretty OP day yesterday, and so far today has been great. One of the girls I live with is going to the gym with me this evening after class. Evening gym is actually really great because we have the whole place to ourselves. And I see we have a new challenge going. I am definitely in on that!

Jayne- I feel like I'm in a constant struggle to get motivated too! It's just nuts, isn't it? And don't even talk to me about the chocolate temptation. There are two other girls in my house, and one of them is thin as a rake and is perpetually making chocolate cake, microwave smores, hot chocolate, chocolate this that and the other. K (the other girl) and I are just ready to kill her sometimes because she thinks watching your weight, going to the gym, etc. is a total cave-in to societal pressure to look like Barbie.

Kier- Sounds like you are keeping busy! Ireland for spring break? I am so darn jealous! My mother's Irish and we used to go over every few years to visit all the aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. but I haven't been since I was 16 and now I want to go!

Jess- Good job on resisting most of the PMS temptation. As long as you are doing better, it's all good. Next time you'll be even better!

Laura- Private yoga- wow! I signed myself up for a triathalon course next semester to whip my butt into shape, but a yoga class sounds appealing too. Maybe I'll have to switch or even (gasp) add on.

Ok, class is gearing up to start again, so I'm off to go look at plants!

Cat

Belle - you poor thing. Your niece, sister and your family are in my thoughts. Keep us posted on how your niece is doing. As for the BF - as difficult as it is, push him to the back of your mind right now so you can be strong for your family. Once this crisis has abated, then you can decide if your life goals match his.

Jess - about last night and the Hershey nuggets - that was last night - pick yourself up and move on today.

Tonya - glad you are feeling a bit better. Thanks for checking on Lisa. I'll feel better knowing that she is O.K.

Cat - sounds like a rough couple months program wise but your tag line says it all - you HAVE come to far to take orders from a cookie.

Jayne - I love yoga! I've been practicing for 2 years and am a total addict. You really should give it a try. If you aren't quite brave enough to try a gym class, I'd be happy to list a couple begginer video tapes to try.

I'm so over work today. The office is a political war zone today. I'm doing my best to duck and cover and not get hit with anything that sticks!

Laura

Hey all. We lost internet at work yesterday at about noon and it just got back up now. Wow, I had to work on work things. Now I am in the middle of a problem and am torn between the internet being back up and working. Such is life eh!

Well, Emma was supposidly naughty yesterday. She wouldn't take her nap (she was de-Nukked!) and they acted like this was a crisis. One day. Oh well. If it lasts a week, then I will have to come up with a game plan I guess. Sometimes the teachers overact big time!!!

Belle, 1st off, bf has a history of being like this so take this as a warning. Maybe he hasn't changed. Do what is best for you and only that! If it's not going to work, then don't fiddle around, he has had his chances with you! As for your neice, please keep us posted. I hope she recovers or can get treatment to help her. You can cry on our cyber-shoulders if you need to. And remember that family is first, so give them the attention and help they need and poo poo to bf (who apparently doesn't want to be family!!)

Jess, Yah on the resistence today. Brush off yesterday, it's the past!!

I guess I should go work... or go to the bathroom. Yah, bathroom break, then get water, then snack, then work!!! hee heee

See the Sticky note at the top of the thread list. They are moving us on Monday, so don't get lost!!!!

hi girls,
i'm back but busy so will post properly tomorrow. just wanted to say, belle - my thoughts are with your niece.
hope everyone is ok and i'll catch up properly later.
kirsty

Hey Guys,

I received this message from Lisa today. She is still thinking of us...
________________________________________________
Hi TOnya - Thanks SO MUCH for checking on me. I'm fine... I want to come
visit you guys very soon and I will. A week ago last Thursday EMC (my
company) announce 1350 layoffs by mid-November. My boss just hinted to be
conservative with our personal use of phones and the interenet for a little
while. I'm sure checking in won't hurt... but until these layoffs go
through I'll prob lay low.


I miss EVERYONE so much.


Working here this past year has been stressful... agh!


Thanks again... tell everyone I miss them and that I'll probably get on
sometime this week to say a quick hi!
____________________________________________

And on that note, I PMed Suzanne to ask if we could be renamed the 20's and 30's group to reflect everyone who uses our thread, and I just got a reply that it will be renamed that when they move it.

Yippeeee... I don't think there is a 30's group anyway! Hope that doesn't scare the 20's off!

Thanks Tonya! One less thing for me to worry about.

Thank goodness! Jen and I can finally "officially" belong to this group!! :D

YAHOOO a new name!
we needed one anyway most of us are barreling towards 30
last night i went to pull a gray and cough cough found a nest of them!

Good afternoon all! I got a couple good leads today on reception venues close to the church I want to use for the wedding. SOOOO....I am feeling good!

I think the wedding is going to be at the church on campus (Washington University) where I go to grad school. It is called Graham Chapel and it is beautiful! Here are pics from a wedding there:
