WW Clubs and Groups - Wow its Wednesday

Ok Cheesy I know but hey its almost FRIDAY almost
I have been up since 5:30 am so I could get my workout in today yesterday gram came down just as I started so needless to say I stopped. My article is almost done. . .I just need a good conclusion and then one more for the portfolio. I'm going to email some magazines today if i get enough puter time and offer my free services. Right now All I want to do is be published and increase my portfolio.
I decided not to weigh in until Oct 1 our Belles big day b/c Right now I'm stuck at 199.5 and if i keep stepping on the scale and moving it around to get a good # (no matter where I move it its the same but I still try) I won't make progress but if i know theres a DUE DATE where I have to just once with no adjustments. THen OP time!
I have to hustle and get my stuff together
Come out and play we need a busy thread
oh and if any of our gastronomic diva chicks are out there

Love
Kierie

Hello kierie :wave:
May I join in???
Looks like you are a very busy lady :) I started back on WW yesterday but have been on the program sucessfully before and well QUIT and gained about 15 pounds trying other things and programs so I am back to it and so far I am realizing just how much food I really ate while off WW and it is SCARY :eek: I am a stay at home mom with two beautiful daughters one is 8 and one is 10 and used to belong to a Tops group but now I seem to just stay home or go to church which I love doing but I need to get out more and I am sure the fresh air would do me good...maybe some outdoor exercises would get me out of my rut. Hope to get to know you all .... and have a great day :wave:

Kier!! I am with you on that. I am just going to be totally OP for 17 days til the wedding. I'll WI the day before and see how it went, but I am going to really focus on journalling, being OP and exercise! Good for you for waking up and working out. I am up at 5:30 just to get to work on time, so morning workouts for me aren't really an option. But I am finding that my 30 min circuit evenings is great. Of course, lastnight I didn't go. I had a fire drill and walked down 31 flights and I was sore when I got home...but I was OP eating-wise!

Hi Christian! Welcome back to WW! Glad you can join us. How was TOPS? I have heard of them but not really in any detail. Are theyjust a support group without a "program" per se?

Well to day is my first class - actually, it was last week but I was in the field and missed it. I am looking forward to it. I love to learn. I miss University! I can't believe I've been out for five years!! GAH!! Tomorrow I am being taken out for drinks by some peers and it's DF's work-friends stag. They are taking him to an irish bar to start, then "bar hopping" which means "strippers" I am sure. DF isn't into that , but give him enough beer and he'll go anywhere. Besides, it's hard to say no to your co-workers. I don't mind! God knows I've seen enough nude males (all flamers, but nonetheless) I used to be best friends with a puff and he took me to amatuer strip at the local gay-male club. I loved going there b/c it wasn't a meat market (for females, anyway) and you could just dance and be yourself and not worry about being hit on!! Yay! :)

Wedding stuff is never-ending. Last night I firmed up the cake, but didn't pay yet (forgot a cheque) so I have to go back next Tues. Then today I meet the DJ at lunch for details (we work in teh same building). Friday is shoe shopping for my bridesmaids. Saturday is my hair highlighting and engagement photo (a little late, yes) and then Sunday is my new neices baptism. Then next week DF is out of town the whole week!!! I will be doing odds and ends and finishing up my work, etc. I have only 10 days in the office until vacation/wedding so I have to really keep on top of things...plus my course work.

Basically, I'll be very, very busy until the wedding...on the Thursday before, I am going to the spa for a massage and manicure...AHHHHH. Then the gangs start to arrive - chaos after that.

OK TTFN I am off to do work and journal my breakfast (and get some H20)

OH I challenge all of you today to drinking 8 glasses of water!!! Who's up for it....starting....NOW! GOOOOOO!

Howdy,

I had a great time at the Fantasia party last night, bought some goodies. Woke up this morning and my cat had peed on a magazine and the newspaper (from the crossword I do before bed) because she was mad at me because I wasn't getting up at 4:30am. So I had to clean that up.

The party was great, I actually learned stuff about the way our body works that I never knew, kind of neat. The whole bunch of us had a great time though but I ate too many refined carbs... I probably finished the day between 35-38 points, not the best and I did a bit of mindless eating, but under much better control than before. I am not thinking about food 100% of the time any more and it's making things easier.

Christian: Welcome my dear! Everyone is welcome here! I slipped for a while but am mostly on program now (well not perfect). Welcome back to WW, I knew people on TOPS and they loved it and I saw great results.

Kierie: I'd love to be a freelance writer, I dunno why. I am debating doing some health issue stuff and other things. I guess I should take some courses and get an agent.

Belle: I miss uni too. I got picked to fill out a grad survey rating my school for Maclean's so I should be doing that soon (we were number 4 out of 22+ in the rankings for primarily undergraduate schools last year). I have french today and I am going to beg to be put up in the next level. I had a bad placement test and the class bores me to tears. I saw strippers when I went to Calgary (I think at Cowboys), they had an excellent show and cute waiters (this was 6 years ago).

Cheers!

Ali

Hey Ali! Glad you had fun...I am sure BF will also have fun ;) Too bad about your kitty - is she used to going out at 4:30? Or feeding time??

Well, I am on my way to lunch at the spag factory. I did some research and found that the food is v. high points. I have a plan though, and I am stickin to it!

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies :D

I loved Tops.... my group was like family :yes: But my meetings were at night and as the kids have been growing so is there homework and needing mom to be home to help them with it, and by the time I help them and eat supper, I hardly have time to spend just enjoying them, so first thing is first.....those precious girls ;) But I do get alot of support here on the boards on the Tops section and now that I found that there are people here in the WW part I am sure I will reach the goals I have set for myself. I just had to thank you for your welcome as I may not be online until morning because I am remodeling my daughters room and have about buried my computer :lol: Well the junk has to be sorted and priced for yard sale and the closest room is the living room so I may have to lose it to regain her space for a day or two :eek: If I am not back for awhile someone call for help :lol: :lol: :dizzy: I will have been buried alive !!!! ;)
