Support Groups - Scale Addicts Anonymous 2005

Good luck for Sunday Flower....I would stop by and help...but I don't like exercise... lol oh yeah and your probably NOT ot on my main bus route!!! lol What's the garden like in this new house, will you be able to grow your veggies??

Does anyone want to take bets on wether Leanne took her scales to her in-laws or not??? lol

Good luck, Flower.

I'm doing my last few minutes of procrastinating before I go on a mad cleaning dash. My husband has a friend flying in from England today, and apparently he is a neat freak. Needless to say, living in a house with a man, child, dog, and four cats, while running a business out of my house, I'm not so much :lol: At any rate, I'll probably be off for a week since I have to be social. :)

Hey ya'll! Just stoppin' in to say I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but unfortunately I admit I'd be a spokesmodel for a "Wagon fall-offers Anon" group. I haven't gone up or down weight or inches. Been eatin' too much junk and not enough exercise to burn off the cals I'm scarfin'. I did get this book called "The Butt Book". It's very inspiring and it has a menu plan and exercises. I did some of them. I also bought a new "Crunch: Dance Party" workout cd. I'm kinda doin' the same thing as you, michelle, but I've evolved from just saying it to buying things to encourage it. Hopefully it will work eventually!
Well, gotta go!

HA HA HA HA HA

Tulip- Just so you know I DID NOT BRING MY SCALE>....hahaha...yes, I repeat NO SCALE...


(now in all fairness they do have a scale here, not digital and VERY VERY VERY VERY wrong...)

Darn....can take the scale away from the girl, but you cant take the girl away from the scale....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Leanne

Leanne your so funny!

Hey Tulip! I hope everyone in your family is ok. What a terrible thing that you guys are going through over there. Saying prayers tonight.

Sadness of the great tragedy is here in Canada as well. Am burning candles for those who are there. No news on the wagon front here...just soooooooooo tired from all the over time shifts...Flowerfan please tell me you'll be planting at least a flower garden!

Keep up the good work ladies

Hi all
Well it's Monday morning and we've just had word on the radio that it's business as usual in london, all modes of transport are open. I have family in London and thankfully we haven't heard that anyone has been caught up in it. A chap i work with was said to have been heading to the capital during his 4 days off, he didn't show for work last night and didn't contact the manager either, so we're a little concerned for him, someone is going to contact his home if he doesn't turn up tonight! So your thought's / candles and prayers are most appreciated.

Eating well so hopefully weight should fall soon ??!! I'll keep you posted.

LOL @ Leanne...and well done for NOT taking the scales on holiday.

HRH Cherry Jewel I could use a but book...I am true british girl....a classic pear shape!! s

Hi Michellejy, nice to hear from you

Flower how did the move go???

I see that from the ginormousness of this thread, I must not be alone in my obsession with the scale.

The friend we have here is from London- lives and works there. He actually knows people who were on one of the tubes that was bombed, but fortunately everyone he knows made it out okay. At any rate, tonight is his last night here so I have to go be social some more, but I just wanted to check and see how everyone is.

Hello everyone...

Welcome Cuqt!! Yes we are a ginormous group and I really should start a new thread soon!Lol We talk about everything here as you can see! Hope you stay around awhile and visit!

Tulip and Michelle...I am lucky...none of my family is in the London area...they are all in Manchester and Blackpool...soooo i do thank the higher powers that everyone is alright. Canadians are now thinking "If it can happen in England,..it can happen in Canada."

We may be known as the most polite country in the world...but that doesn't leave us out as non targets for what is going on in the world today...

Hope everyone is finding themselves safe at home and healthy..

I bought a new pair of runners and a pedometer...i walk about 4-5 thousand steps aday...am trying that 10thousand steps a day thing...get me off my butt...and get my butt off....

Working 12 hours shifts for the next few days and am soooo tired...but wanted to stop by...these 50 and 50 hour weeks are killing me....and say hello while i'm still somewhat awake!!!

Welcome to the group Cuqt....let us get to know you...tell us your scales secrets...you might do something with them that may benifit the whole group...new ways of weighing ourselves is always welcome!!! lol :rofl:

Missing Chap at work turned up....what a relief that was!!

Splashes...you should be doing more than 4/5 thousand steps if your doing a 12hr shift in a restaurant...your not accidentally resetting it half way through your shift??? I clock up 11k on my 8 hr shift...so your's should be more!!! check and make a note of your steps every couple of hours, just to make sure ;)


How was your guest from London Michellejy...have you survived??

Flower where are you?? I hope you managed to take the pc with you when you moved....I was thinking about you today while i was harvesting potatoes, peas and courgettes.

Calling Leanne...can you please RUN over to your pc please and let us know how little you weigh this week....you are our inspiration (apart from the running bit!! :lol: :lol: ) we need you to keep us on track!

HRH Cherry...hows the but book menu going???

My weight is the same, eating ok...but i am now incapacitated...I slipped while out shopping (on a fruit smoothie that someone had dropped if your interested!!) i have torn ligaments in my foot and twisted my back causing muscular damage...OUCH it doesn't half hurt!!! I'm off work for 2 weeks to start with, but they have told me that it could take up to 6 weeks to heal. It is so frustrating, i can't drive, walk without a crutch, drink - due to the strong painkillers they ahve got me on...ahhhhhh not looking forward to the coming weeks.
Good news though - i went to an interview today for a Special Educational Needs Learning Support Worker and I GOT IT!!!! WOOHOO i start in september..I am sooooo pleased!

right that's enough news from me...

bye for now Tulip

Tulip- you poor thing. Who would have thought smoothies could be so dangerous? :) So do you at least get to take good painkillers while you are laid up?

We took our guest to the airport on Wednesday for his flight. After being there for two hours trying to get him checked in, we found out his flight was cancelled so he stayed an extra day. He is a nice guy, but it's so great to have the house back to myself again. It's tiring always trying to entertain someone.

Hi Michellejy...know what you mean about guests...it's nice to have them but nicer still to see them leave...I love having my house to myself!!

As for smoothies.... :cb: Banana ones are the worst kind...soooo darn slippy :faint: As for the painkillers there great, i feel as if I've had one too many :stars:

:beach: I'm spending my time sitting in the garden sun bathing and reading the new Harry Potter book...we queued at midnight to get our hands on one of the first copies...I left my daughter reading it in bed at 12:45 last night and when i went into her room at 9am this morning she was still in the same position reading it.. :wizard: she assures me that she hadn't been reading it ALL night, she did actually go to sleep....eventually!!! That's her weekend taken care of...but as soon as she puts it down i pick it up (I knew we should have bought two!!!) :chin:

Where is everyone, still enjoying the good weather no doubt???

Hello ALL!!

I did take the pc with me but was not able to hook up to the web untill now.

Tulip-I have loved the Harry Potter books. Need to order the new one. I am like your daugher. Would stay up all night with a good one.

We are trying to get things put away. Have way too much stuff for such a small house. The soon to be ex is being a jerk. He has told me that he will fight me for the rest of his life before he gives me a penny. I hope he dies quick! lol

I went to dinner with the former boyfriend that I have thought about all this time. It was wonderful. He is a really nice man. Think it should be my turn to have a nice one. The great part is that he thought I the same thing about me.

Have a great night everyone!!!!

**Hands poor Tulip a fluffy pink slipper for the bad foot and a crosstrainer for the other one** Danged smoothies! Congrats on thejob!!! I guess you literrally have to take the good with the bad huh? As for the bar job...I'm back to an office job..doing fraud investigation right now...sooooooooo not conducive to walkign!lol

Michelle I know what you mean...i company a few weeks ago...and was sooooooooo glad to have my house back!! Enjoy your private time!!

Flower...how is the new house? Sounds like everything is going well so far!! Keep up the great work!!

Leeanne and HRHCherry...where are you folks?????

Cuqt come back and visit!!!

Tulip- my daughter is a reader too (she gets it from me). There have been a couple of times I've found her light on in the middle of the night or found her sneaking under the covers with a book light. :lol:

Flower- I don't know how your state laws are, but in most states, unless you have equal custody, child support will be directly debited from his paycheck before he even sees it. It's based on a percentage of income as well, so there's not really any argument on that. As for alimony and such, I have no idea how that works since I didn't ask for any. I just wanted to escape! :)

HS- I'll be picking up my kiddo in a couple of hours here. It's been really weird not having her around all of this time. At any rate, no more house to myself, but it's different when it's family :)

Just popping in to say hi!
Glad your hooked up to the web now flower.
Will type more later...foot still painful so have to rest it some more!

Bye

I AM HERE

Just got back from the in-laws last night...and WOW...almost 2 weeks WITH NO SCALE....mark this down on the calendar.......YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

AND
MY SCALE STILL LOVES ME- it wasn't mad at me at all this morning...I thought maybe it had gone through a little withdrawl but it probably enjoyed the break from me stepping all over it every day....hahahah
Yes, it weighed me at 115.4 YAY....but, in all fairness I have been RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING and really sticking to my training program, plus it has been SOOO HOT here that running in the heat is awesome fat loss....(water loss more like)...
So anyways, I am back home and looking forward to getting back to normal...haha- ill have to spend today unpacking and putting everything away but otherwise it is nice to be away but nicer to be home again!

HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT,

Leanne

Morning girls....haven't jumped on the scales...don't really want to as i'm comfort eating and not moving around very much....not a good combination!!! :-(

ok... so i finally got on the scale after a month....scaryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyy somehow found the 10 that i worked so hard to lose...it's all thestress eating...i'm positive...once my life calms down hopefully the pounds will go away...

hoe everyone has a great day!

I haven't been on a scale in a bit. As the saying goes "denial ain't just a river in Egypt." :lol:

I'm having ex-husband stress, upcoming trip stress, houseguest stress, and husband needs to get a greencard already so they let him back in the country after vacation stress. All in all, I'm just worrying about everything except taking care of myself. I guess that's normal for women though, huh? :)

I'm not speaking to my scales either!!!! I have been eating really good and the sodding things still say 8stone 10lbs!!!

What do i have to do to make it say less???? ...and don't say RUN leanne!!!!!! lol

Oh morning Michellejy...I didn't see your post until after i'd posted mine.

I think the stress about everybody except ourselves is a women thing too...deal with all that you have to then TRY to spend some time dealing with your own stuff - it really does pay to spend some time on yourself!!

hahahaha, tulip........I dont think if the scale runs that will help any........lol..........
One of those nights last night...........one after another the kids were up and the baby was up almost all night...........I hope it is teething for the baby and the other 2 still getting used to being home.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..............

Hope everyone has a great friday

Leanne

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Hey Leanne, you maybe on to something there....if the scales were to run away from me, i might just run after them...hey hey you may just have thought of a way to get me running!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm off to my sisters for the weekend, leaving the scales at home as she is a superb cook! but i will start thinking of ways of making those darn things RUN!!! :lol: :lol:

HAve a good weekend everyone!

Wow! I can't believe it's not just me that's addicted to scales. I just started my diet on sunday and have been on that scale non-stop! I've lost 5 pounds already and weigh myself wayyy too many times a day... probably 4-5 times. Today, I did really good and only weighed myself once when I woke up and then just now. I'm going to try and stay away from that thing until Sunday, the official weigh-in day!

Hello everyone! Do yall remember me? lol Probably not... it's been so long since I've posted last. I just wanted to let yall know that I have finally reached my goal weight as of January of this year. I've also made a huge move to the island of Hawaii with my family. It's nice to wear a bikini again :) Thank you guys for your support during the time I was struggling to loose weight! You guys are awesome and I couldn't have done it without you.

Scales with legs...we can patent this one and all be millionaires!!!

Hello Jenifer an Shelley...Welcome to the club Jenifer...hope your weigh in goes well, SHelley of course we remember! Glad you came by for a visit!

Michelle...I'm such a stress eater too...gained 10lbs in the last 2 weeks from stressing over moving etc....so it's back to the start for me

TUlip, i swear...that's a good idea the scales with legs!! except i might just stand there and wave good bye to them as they ran away!Lol

Leanne...I don't know how you do it with 3 littles....I bet your runs are your 'me time' to destress!

Michele

Hey Everyone

LOL TULIP- hey whatever works eh?? could be a real money maker , but I also thought what if you stepped on the scale and if we were up a little it would say " thats okay honey, you still look gorgeous", or something encouraging...that would be nice too...

HS- Yes, it sounds so funny but running is probably the ONLY time I think of ME ME ME ME ME ME ME. Plus, the way I think of it, is that I am "IN TRAINING" right now, and I have NO ONE to please or disappoint but myself, and I HATE it when I disappoint myself so that leaves me no choice but to try my hardest to please myself. AND like I said before, once before, once you TELL someone that you are going to do something, you dont want to have to explain to them and others why you didnt do it!

My dad is here for a few days, he brought his boat up, so I have been having some sunny, beach time with the kiddies...it is GREAT and who knew so MUCH fresh air would make them ALL sleep so well........maybe I should look into buying my own boat...hahahah

This summer if flying.......my baby girl is now 10 months old, and my youngest son will be 2 on saturday......wow....time certainly FLIES by when your not prego and counting down days...hahahah

AH, sorry to ramble on...
Happy Monday everyone!

Leanne

Tulip.. yeah I kinda fell off the face of the internet huh? LOL I have a feeling though I'll be trying to lose more weight soon though. I've decided to quit smoking. My quit date is August 10th. I'm gonna be going through some smoking cessation classes then. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need all I can get! LOL

http://www.theghoststalkers.com/mom2.jpg
Here's a recent pic of me.. I'll have to find a good bikini pic ;)

It's so beautiful here in Hawaii. I feel like I'm on permanent vacation! We're here till 2008. hubby is in the Navy.

I've missed you guys!

Oh wow you look amazing...Hawaii obviously suits you! :encore:

Good luck with the no smoking lark...you've droppped all this weight so smoking will be a piece of cake (doh - not literally!!!) :lol: :nono: :smoking: It's the same type of will power needed. I quit 16 years ago when my first DD was born. And even tho it isn't easy it is soooo worth it! and with the £££££££££ or $$$$$$$$$$$ (in your case) saved you can buy loads and loads of lovely bikini's!!!! :beach: :beach:

Well don't forget we're all here to support and encourage you if you need it! :listen: :gossip: :cheer: :coach:

I hope you all had a great weekend, we did...quite but got loads done around the house (well the family did as i am still on crutches!) visited friends on Saturday which was great as we hadn't seen them for a while.

...and now it's Monday morning and :goodscale it's TOM and i ate pretty poorly over the weekend and i'm only 1lb up !!!! :dancer: :dancer: so i'm happy!

Tulip what would we do without you??? You are the best Cheerleading team!! You kept the thread going!! WOOHO and YAYYYYYYYY for Shelley...and Yes I remember those past posts...SHEEEEEEEEEEELYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY where ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEe YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....LMAO...well now we know she's inHawaii!! Lovely pics Shell!!

I got on the scale...I've gained 15lbs in a very short span of time and I hate myself...Hate the way I look...so what did i do? Ate like crap this weekend. So now I tossed out all the bad food and bought good food. Fresh veggies and fruits..lean meats....So no more crap....

It's been so hot here today it took all I could do to get outside and get stuff done..but I got alot accomplished and feel better about myself...so now it's off to walk the doggies and then have a hot shower and off to bed!!

See everyone later!!!

hi splashes......glad to hear you've bought a load of 'good' food....that's a good start to loosing that extra 15lbs!!! walk those doggies will give you good exersice too!!

My eating has been okay today..I figured that if i can't be active i will have to make sure i eat really well....i really want to loose this extra couple of pounds before i start school again.

It's been really sunny here today, so plenty of sitting in the garden and reading! Hope it's nice again tomorrow!

Gees, Tulip...I guess it's just you an' me!lol I hope you are feeling better. Sitting in the garden sounds sooo wonderful. I took my dogs on a HUGE walk the other evening. Went through the orchards and vinyards of my friend's farm. We encountered the hugest deer I've ever seen. I guess country living is good for them too! Our peach crop is pathetic this year, but our pears and plums are just amazing. Pears and Apples are going to be abundant this year. I can't wait!!

The weather here is horrid. Hot and humid and up near a hundred degrees. I hope you weather stays nice. My friend is going home to England on Friday for a month so I hope the weather is nice for him and his wife. They haven't been back in 10 years and I'd hate to have it rain the whole time they are there.

Enjoy your sunning in the garden...hay I guess we can start doing SHELLLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy again! and LEAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN...and KTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt...and CHERRYYYYYYYYYYY and FLOWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and MICHELLLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!LMAO

LMAO @ Splashes!!!

There probably all outside enjoying the sunshine!!

Keep up that walking HS it's good exercise..and the doggies love it. My dog is only having short walks to the park and back since i hurt my foot as i can't go and my DD's arnt allowed to go to far with out me!...poor thing has to wait until the weekend when dad is around to take him a bit further!!!

Weather here is very unpredictable at the moment, i wouldn't say we ar having a fantastic summer, but there hasnt' been too much rain.

Me and my scales arn't talking, i've been eating really well and the darn things won't budge!!! grrrrr

Oh well another day to enjoy...must go and make a start on it!!

See you tomorrow!

Another day here too, Tulip...and just you and me!!! Tis ok..we'll keep this thread alive until someone comes back!!lol Weather is still brutally hot and humid. I've really had to watch my asthma. The lake looks so inviting other than it's polluted!lol

I might sneak out to lake Erie this weekend and go for a swim....take the pups with me...nice secluded cove where noone can see me in a pair of shorts !Lol Take care everyone and stay cool and healthy!!!!

good morning HS!

Well I limped to my scales this morning and i'm only a 1lb up!! so not too bad, it gave me a good vibe to go get some healthy breakfast. youngest DD is going out with a friend for the day. Oldest DD worked last night so will sleep all morning (!) so me and Middle DD are going healthy food shopping, so that me and their dad can be at our goal weight before the start of the new term! (she doesnt' know that tho - she just thinks we're going to buy more coco pops coz oldest DD ate the last lot for supper last night!!!

Well i'll stop my babbling now and go and start my mission.....hope the weather is a bit kinder on your asthma Splashes?! And don't worry about people seeing oyu in your shorts...go have some fun on lake Erie, it will do you the world of good!

Hey Ladies


I am HERE...sorry, been VERY VERY VERY busy....Both me and hubby are "training" plus, kids, baby teething and irritable, not a lot of sleep,ah, ah, ah....feels like there is SO much going on....which is wonderful....keeping busy makes me enjoy this heat wave a lot more...
HS, my dad keeps calling every few days to give me a weather update from Niagara...hahaha, he has no a/c at his house...when will he learn?? But he has spent a LOT of time on the boat this summer....
My sclae is still in the good books today....the past few days I was VERY bloated and now I know why....darn, TOM....but since having my daughter it has been VERY irregular and painful....TMI, sorry!

Hope EVERYONE is having a great, less-crampy day today....OMG< it is FRIDAY......yay, enjoy!

Leanne
CW 114

Hey guys! Just checking in.. You know what I just realized? I don't even have a scale anymore! LOL We just got our household goods that were shipped from Tennessee. I threw the scale away before we moved because it didn't work anymore. So I guess that's a good thing. I haven't weighed myself in 4 months! lol I don't know if I've gained weight or lost weight. My clothes still fit me though lol.

Anyway, Hey Tulip (or anyone)? I got a question for ya... Can you tell me some plants that only like the sun? I have a garden that is pretty much in the sun all day and some of the plants I have, have died on me. :( (Marigolds, Mums, Salvas)

Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm trying to think of plants that like alot of sun...hostas...they are pretty, and they come in different colors of leaves and flowers...and "snow on the mountain...beautiful, variegated, and flourishes fine in sun and shade

That's my two pennies worth!lol I'm not much of a gardener!lol

Eating like crap again...sorry to admit it....feel like crap...i detest my self these days!

Have a great weekend ladies!!

Shelley....SUNFLOWERS??? I'm less of a gardenener than HS...I'm doing veggies this year but not too hot on the flower names and anyway coming from England we don't get too much call for flowers that need hot sun all day long...they wouldn't last 5 mins over here!! LOL good news about not having any scales...don't go buying new ones now!!

Hugz for Leanne - I remember how busy i was when my family were tinies like yours...it's such hard work and then you go and train as well...I take my hat off to you girl!! it does get easier, my eldest is out at work this morning, middle one is still in bed,youngest has made her own breakfast and is sitting in the lounge playing wiht her lego

Splashes...Well done for admiting that your not eating well but dont' detest yourself....we think your lovely!!!!!! You give us sooo much support,now it's our turn...how can we help you to stay on track wiht your eating???
how about if you post your weekly meal plan to us - that may help you stick to it??? Come on HS you can do this, you'll feel soooo much better if you get back on target!! We're here for you!!

No word from flower?? Hope your doing ok flower...i know your going through difficult times at the moment...I'm still saying my prayers for you!!! Pop in and let us know how your getting on, if you can spare 5 mins!!!

until tomorrow folks...!

Well, Tulip....I believe you have just come up with a very wonderful idea! I'll post my daily eating plan starting monday! That way I'm keeping a food journal and posting daily in here!

I'm finally starting my packing to move to my new place. I can't wait to set up the big marble fireplace! I'm having a garage sale next Sunday to get rid of the stuff I keep dragging around with me because I am a packrat. I wonder if i'll lose the pounds at the garage sale too! I'll post a big sign..."50lbs for Free!!" LOL

Take care ladies and hope to hear from everyone soon!! Tulip can't keep doing this alone!!!

Good idea HS...about the eating plan and the garage sale....you never know you may get a really skinny women who is desperate to put weight on come a long and take it all off your hands!!!! LOL

In all seriousness though, clearing out the stuff your dragging around is usually good for you...new broom clean sweep and all that. New house no junk, just you and your puppies and a new way of eating...don't forget to put all that junk food into the sale also!!!
Way to go HS!! what's your moving date?

I will do it too...I want to loose the last 8lbs if i can before i go back to school, my trousers are just a bit on the snug side. So i support you and stick to a good eating plan it should just fall off!!!! huh well i live in hope...we'll support each other.

Morning!

I ate really well yesterday, drank 64oz of water but no exersice due to injuries.
And i haven't jumped on the scales yet!!! :yikes:
I had i rasher of bacon , 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast
Chicken and mayo Salad for Lunch
Spinach chicken & red pepper salad for Tea
Small glass of white wine :o (well it's much better than i have been doing!)
So other than that, i'm quite pleased with myself!!! ;)

I bought the girls a big paddling pool yesterday so stayed in the garden sunbathing! Don't know what i'm gunna do with the today tho-

Hope someone comes in to visit us today HS! :halfempty

I think it's just me an' you Tulip!! Moving date is the 15th!!! I can't wait to see that lovely marble fireplace!!

What's a rasher??

I ate today:

3 slices chicken bacon one scrambled egg
Toasted western for lunch
supper was 3 cheese tortellini with a marinara sauce...
ANd i drank about 100 oz of water... and tea...

I have a mug at work that is actually a giant thermos...it is 64 ounces and I usually drink one and half to two of those at work in a shift..then there's the green tea I drink at breakfast along with my morning glass of water...then the 3 or 4 glasses throughout the evening at home...i drink alot when i come in from walking the dogs it's so hot here...

So eating is going well so far!! See you soon Tulip!!

morning HS - a rasher is what we call a slice of bacon! :dizzy: words we take for granted seems strange to other people!!!

My turn now...

...what's....A toasted western??? obs food seen as you had it for lunch :lol: ...but what??

Your water intake is fantastic...I really struggle to get my 64oz in. Like yesterday it was hot but i just wasn't thirsty. I probably hit just over half of what i should have.

Food was a bit better tho

I slice of bacon 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast
Spinach and chicken and red pepper salad for lunch (leftovers from the night before!)
and dinner was roasted lamb, with loads of brocolli and carrots and just ONE Potato!!!!

I did have an ice cream with the kids while at the lido :o :(

I'm going to the hairdressers today. So i will feel all pampered when i get back!! :smug:

Here's to a good day HS!

So how did you do yesterday HS??

My water intake wasn't as good as it could have been so i'm going to try harder today with that one. Eating was good though, 3 good meals
scrambled egg n bacon for breakfast
Cold meat salad for lunch
Lamb and Veggies for dinner Glass of red wine with dinner tho :o

I walked for about 30 mins in total wiht not too much pain so i was quite pleased with myself..I will try to do it again today!

Hope everyone else is ok...I feel a bit silly talking to myself :lol: :lol: :?:

You have been such a good Fairy!! Just PLEEZ becareful of your walking and your foot!!
Yesterday had

Bacon and scrambled eggs
Bacon and egg sandwich
Tortellin with red sauce..

THen my car broke down and my friend took me for cheeze cake and tea! So tht kinda blew the good eating for the day.

Will check in tonite after work!!

HS - eating the cheese cake didn't blow the whole day, the rest of it was great...imagine how bad it would have been if oyu hadn't eaten well all day??

The kids walked me all around town today...although i did keep sitting down every chance i got....and although i'm off for a lie down now...it's not too bad (foot and back!)

My eating has been good, water could do better so i'm off to re-fill my cup!

Well it's Friday morning....eating continued to be OP yesterday, water was better.
Today has started really well...loads of water and a cheese omelette of breakfast...havn't thought about lunch yet!

How you doin HS?? How did it go yesterday? When is your moving day are you moving far?

hEY Ladies

All this talk about FOOD is making me hungry....thank goodness I did groceries BEFORE reading the posts on here...hahaha

Well, my 10.5 month old daughter is WALKING......................YAY.....totally about 10-20 steps all on her own.......I can't believe it is that "walking" time already!
So, I have been busy, busy, busy...and trying to stay on top of my running program....my weight is holding steady at about 114.6 YAY...I am trying to NOT step on the scale, and honestly a few mornings I have just been too tired to go upstairs to step on it (my daughter is also teething so sleep is not a lot for me)
Im off to bed EARLY tonight......

Leanne

Sorry I didn't get to posting last nite..my car broke down at work...then I had to get it jumped started...$225 later...new battery, new connectors blahblahblah..but at least I have my car running...

Eating today was bad...all carbs...just ate cereal and muffins because I'm so stressed with moving and everything....I start moving sunday...small stuff first...then big stuff on monday and tuesday...I can't wait till my life settles down!!

Don't push your foot too much Tulip!! Don't undo the healing!! Take it easy and take care of yourself!! I've done the "i feel fine" thing and ended up worse than when I did the original damage!! Bee a good girl and rest in your garden!lol

Leeanne..Wow..wallking...I remember when you found out you were preggers! Gees I'm feeling old!!Lol Prettysoon Jaelyn will be out running with you!

Don't know when I'll be back since I have to get everything transferred over to the new apt!! But keep up the thread without me ladies...shouldn't be gone for more than a few days...a week tops!!!

good luck with the move HS...c u when you get re-connected! :)

Leanne - oh wow...an early bird...my eldest was walking really early too, which creates it's own problems. The can get to things that their mentally too young for...your gunna have to have eyes in the back of your head!!! LOL :D All that training is going to come in handy i think LOL :lol:

WEll yesterday went well until the marmite sandwich in white bread came along...had two of them!! :o :( but water was good and the rest of my food was OP I went to the osteopaths yesterday so took it easy for the rest of the day as i was a bit sore! :( Going to do some light shopping with middle DD as it is her birthday on Wednesday, she needs ( :?: not wants!! ) an outfit for her party and i'm going to treat her to lunch in town too!

Have a good weekend everyone!
Tulip

Tulip- marmite??? what in the world is THAT??? lol

Leanne

Leanne - Marmite is like vegemite a yeast extract not really a unhealthy thing, but the white bread is a definate no-no :nono:

Yesterday was totally Off Plan....infact it was so off that it was before plans were invented!!!!!! :eek:
I ate out ALL day, lunch, tea and dinner and while i tried to stay healthy, there was little extra bits that shouldn't have been there...I'm not going to mention them coz it may make you run off to enjoy a piece of it too!! lol

Today has been better, water is on target, breakfast was great, sunday lunch is in the oven and is healthy!!! and i promise i wont have any pudding although a glass of sherry before lunch is a tradition i wont' break for any diet! :rofl: :cheers:

Leanne, how the toddling daughter coming along??? any bumps and bruises yet...or is she starting to run like her mummy?? :smug:

Hope the move's going well HS...speak to you when your settled.

Tulip--marmite sounds as yucky as the name does....hahahaha....the bread is killer eh? I only buy the low fat, carb addict friendly bread so I have no temptations...aaaaaaaaaah, mmmmmmmmmmm carbs!

Yes, my daughter is toddling around like crazy, she is really good...a few minor bumps and bruises but I guess by baby #3 unless there is blood or I can see bone, its been a good day...ew...hahaha

So today I RAN 10km...as if I were running my race.....

my goal was to spend the summer trying to do the 10km in 60 minutes, as my previous personal best was 65 minutes...

ANywho, today I ran it in............(MUSIC PLEASE)
54 minutes 51 seconds.....
OMG< I nearly cried.....I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy...

Ok, thats it for me....
Leanne

Ohhhhh what a cutie!!!!! She looks too small to be walking all by herself!!

Congratulations :cb: :cb: :dance: :hat: :woo: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheers: on your race time!!!

I have a wheat intolerance so the bread really doesn't do me any good low carb or otherwise...I take medication for it but it's still not good for me!

got a chance to get onlline for a moment ladies!! Thanks for keeping us on Page 1!!!

Marmite? Vegamite?? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sounds scary

Lowcarb bread tastes like cardboard!lol

a 60 minit 10K!! Heck I can't walk the block that fast!lol just kidding...moving is going...slowly...the movers can't move me for another week now...their truck broke down...so now my internet is in the new apartment and so is the tv but everything else is here!!!

I'm trying to eat well...tis a hard thing since I am a stress eater...but the water consumption is great!!@!

Happy Bday to middle daughter Tullip

Leanne..the dd has runners legs!!

Just me again...got more stuff moved...yay for free child labor...my niece and nephew are helping their old auntie move!~lol Doing the same thing for Tuesday!

See everyone later!!

Hi ladies
Haven't been in for a few day....it's been party central here for days!!! Glad that's over....tis mine next....!!!

Well the 14 yr old is still in bed sleeping off her late night last night ( I didn't know a dozen teenagers could make sooooo much noise!!! It was a case of everyone talking and no body listening!! lol But she enjoyed it so that is the main thing!

I on the other hand have woken up with what i think is an ear infection...I'm all dizzy headed and my ears feel all heavy and wobbly (!) I think a trip to the GP is on the cards!!! All my co-ordination is out of sorts, typing this is really hard.

On that note, I hope your all doing fine i will be back as soon as my wobbly ears allow!

hello!

I have not had the web forever!!!!!! I have missed all of you sooooo much!!! The guy came today and got everything fixed for me.

Everything is great here. The girls are so happy. I wish that I would have been strong enough to get out of there years ago. Just glad that we are out now.

Hey I had lunch with the guy that I have been crazy about for the last 20 years. He feels the same about me!!! I am the luckiest girl in the whole world!

I also have lost over my goal weight. I am now in a size 4! Yeh you read that right, I said 4!!!!!!! I have my fourteen year old daughters jeans on right now.

Need to get the kids ready for bed. I will talk to all of you soon. Ü

YAYYYYYYY for Flower!!! I hope you stick around to keep us informed on how things are going! COngrats on everything!! Just because you lost your weight, doesn't mean you can give up SAA!! We still have daily and weekly meetings!lol

Tulip, sounds definitely like an inner ear infection...if you are all wobbley and your ears feel heavy, you can bet an inner ear infection. I am the queen of ear, nose, throat infections...Go to the GPs and let us know how it goes!

Eating is pretty good these days..moving is slow...sleeping is good and so is water intake...i have foudn this bottle that doesn't spill! I take it everywhere and if I leave the lid part off, it doesn't spill out the drinking part! Small things make me happy these days!lol

See everyone later!!

morning

Fl :hyper: :hyper: ower glad to see your back...we've missed you sooo much too! :grouphug: And to go past oyur goal weight is fantastic!!!!! :cb: :cb: your a credit to your self...A size 4!!!! :encore: :encore: amazing...and alunch date with an old flame :cofdate: :o Now that your back online...stay with us...after all with all that weight gone, your gunna spend ages jumpin on and off the scales just to look at the numbers :dizzy: :dizzy: :lol:

HS - At least your sleeping ok....there's nothing worse to make you feel bad than a restless nights sleep. Well done for eating and drinking well especially as the move is going so slow...keep up the good work! We have a lot to live up to what with leanne at her goal....and still running and Flower past her her goal...we've got a bit of catching up to do! :hyper: :hyper:

As for the ear infection...you were right, middle ear viral infection - laybrinthistis (sp?) have a 10 day course of tablets, with no alcohol to be drunk while taking them so the hen weekend that i was due to go on has had to be cancelled. a group of 11 (should have been 12! :dizzy: ) ladies are heading as i type to the north of the country for a girlie weekend, we had planned a day of shopping and lunch with saturday kept free for a dressed to the nines day at the races...i am soooooo disappointed!!! :tantrum: :tantrum: :cry:

My family have also planned hte weekend around me being away and have arranged to do loads of physicall stuff that i am unable to do due to my fall back at hte begining of summer...I am such an old crock!!! :dz: :stress: so i'm stuck at home on my own feeling dizzy :dizzy: :stars: and sorry for myself!! oh well...another couple of weeks and i'll be back to normal...oh yeah...and back to work!! :shrug:
And to top it all off i'm forgot to take my IBS tablets for the past two days and my weight has soared!!!! I'm so bloated it's unbelievable...I've changed my tracker and it looks worse than ever! I'm seriously fed up!! :tantrum:

On that note i'm off to make my self drink some more water!! :lol:
until tomorrow
bye :wave:

Morning

Still dizzy, eating poor, water not much better, no exersice!!!! oh can things get any worse??!

Tulip! Poor little flower! I love going to the races all dressed up! I sympathize with you...I ate something today from the "wheel of death" at work..the sandwich vending maching...and am payign dearly for it...and I'm still in the middle of moving...

And now you are all by yourself! Poor Tulip....And yes we have some catching up to do with Leanne, Flower and Shelley....What are ISB tablets?? I have never heard of those...and don't worry...it's all just water weight....you can lose that in a day...

I'll see everyone hopefully Monday night as puters and stuff get moved Sunday and hooked up at the new place late monday afternoon!!

Have a good weekend everyone and take care!!!

Hey everyone!

Oh my gosh, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw "Scale Addicts Anonymous" - that is SO me! I'm glad I'm not alone in my scale addiction! I would love to join you all on this thread :)

I've actually had to take the batteries out of my scale and hide it to stop weighing myself a million times a day! I've been getting so miserable and frustrated over all the tiny little fluctuations - it's crazy! So yeah, I'm going to try to only weigh myelf once a week or fortnight........but it's going to be hard!

Looking forward to getting to know you all!
xxx

Morning

Welcome to SAA Blyss...you sound like you deserve to be here. Well done for taking the batteries out...is it working...or are you constantly putting them back in...just to see??? lol What day is going to be your official weight in day?? please tell me that your tracker is of your total weight loss and NOT your goal weight?? 62lbs!!!!!

Well, I'm not quite as dizzy, still fed up that my friends are partying without me, eating poor (DH goes back to work on Monday so that should help!!), water intake better. Will get some exersice today as i'm going to take the pooch for walk today as ankle is defiantly on the mend now.

HS - IBS tablets....tablets for my Irritable bowel sydrome!

Enjoy the weekend everyone

Love from Tulip
pp Hotsplashes & Leanne

Hey Tulip! Thanks for the welcome!
My ticker is is Kilograms - there's no way I could ever weight that in pounds!

So far so good with the scale. Haven't been tempted to put the batteries back in, but mainly because I know it would be bad after this weekend! I'm so bloated, it's awful! But feeling crappy is definately a good reminder oh how bad it feels to not treat our bodies well. My weigh in is going to be every second Wednesday!

Hey everyone

Welcome Blyss, I am sure you'll love this thread....great bunch of gals...

So last night I went out with the girls...very fun, my once a year out....I had 2 drinks all night, yay me....and I feel great this morning....I danced and talked and made some new friends, which was sooooooooooooooo nice considering I spend all day and night with the kidlets...Speaking of kids, I am off to a Bday party for my sons friend...and there will be CAKE...yummy yummy yummy...so I will have some...yummy...

Hope everyone is having a great and sunny sunday!

Leanne

CW 113-114-115....(all depends, but I am not going to sweat it-well, I'll sweat it at the gym)

Welcome Blyss!

This is a great place to hang out with some super gals.

I took the girls to our local fair this weekend. Had a great time at the rodeo and ate lots of fair food. Just wish the weekends would last a little bit longer. I worked 55 hours this last week and I am so tired when I get home. My leggs hurt so bad by the end of the day. I will try to post this next week. Just might be short.

I hope everyone has a great week!

:grouphug: for Flower :grouphug: I'm sorry your so tired, but at the same time you sound like your having fun, just you and your girls?? :D
How's the wieght loss going? with all those hours worked you should be getting plenty of exersice!! Keep up the good work...I'm sure the kids appreicate you loads and loads. How's the lunch date guy going? ;)

Today is the day that DH has gone back to work, so offically holiday time is over (well i've still got 2 weeks left but!) so our food has to be spot on and our water intake has got to meet 64oz minimum! We are determind to get those last pound off!! I've sent him off with a salad and a healthy mid morning snack and i'm gonna have the same at home! :smug:

I'll tell you how we get on tomorrow!

Leanne - did you enjoy your cake??? suppose you ran it off before bed last night?? you are such a good girl! lol

I did walk the dog yesterday - for the longest time since my accident, we were out for about an hour in total - also picked 5lbs of wild blackberries while out!! yummy!! :^:

but i have had 30oz of water already and it's only 9:30am!!!! :D

Good morning

eating went well yesterday
water intake - FANTASTIC way over 64oz
walked the dog for 45 mins (foot a bit sore this morning - so will take it easy today!)
down 2lbs this morning!1 yippeee!!

Good for you Tulip! You do not have far to go to reach your goal!

Leanne, was it chocolate? YUM!

The lunch guy is WONDERFUL!!!!! I have not been this happy in years. Have you ever heard of the song "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts? That song is about my life. I am so thankful for another chance at happiness. God is truly great!

See you all soon!

Hey Hey, I'm so happy your in such a good place Flower...I haven't heard of that song, but my oldest DD is a wizz on music so i will get her to find it for me, so i can have a listen! :) :goodvibes

Yesterday went well, water was fantastic, food excellent...except for the cream slice I obught at the farmers market (there the best in the whole world!!. :cloud9: ) I total forgot we were trying to be good, and just ordered my usual 5 (one for each member of my family...not all for me - honest!) Got home and just had to eat it other wise the kids would have had a major row as to who would eat the left over one! That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!! :devil:

Hope the move has been completed Splashes...you've been quiet for a while so probably not finished just yet! :chin:

C U all tomorrow

ps - I've been up 2 hours and i haven't even weighted myself yet!!!!!!!

Am i cured????

LOL! I wish it was that easy.

What is a cream slice? It must be good for the kids to want to fight over it.

Have to go to work early so I better get to bed.

See Ya!

Flower...a cream slice is layers of flaky pastry with fresh cream in the middle and icing on the top with the finest raspberry puree piped on top...hmmmmmm!!!

As for it not bieng easy...life never is, but keep up the hard work, it'll pay off in no time! ;-)

Still no scales for me today...am i cured?

Helloooooooooo all my SAA people!!

Welcome to SAA, Blyss!! Tulip is our Cheering section and keeps the thread active!~So listen to her and stick aroudn!lol

Flower! Welcome back...keep busy...it's good for the mind and the maintenance of weightloss!

Leanne!! Chocolate cake? PLEASE say is was chocolate!!Lol


Sorry for the delayed length of my LOA...when I did my transfer of services with the rep over the phone...I told her I had NO outlets in this apt...she said...Yes you do...I asked her "have you been in my apt?" she said no but she sees on her screen that there's outlets there...I explained to her twice that the building had been renumbered...that I was NOT apt. B...I am APT 1!!! She's like..NO you are APT B...so anyways..the tech shows up on monday...no lines, no drill...he's like "hay you got no outlets!" I'm like,'No kidding"....So i had to rebook and wait till today...so now I'm happy!Lol

See everyone tomorrow!!

Gooooood Morning everyone!!!

Splashes...good to see you back...what's the new apt like, are you all settled in now, and more's to the point, have you controlled that stress eating yet?? I do hope so!

Leanne...come on, put us out of our misery....WAS IT CHOCOLATE CAKE???

AGAIN...NO SCALES...what is wrong with me??? This last week I have been jumping out of bed and fixing breakfast for DH before he leaves for work (I'm feeling a bit quilty that i'm still on holiday for the whole of the school holidays and he still has to haul his but out of bed to go to work!! ahhh!) So i'm in the kitchen then busy myself so i don't hit the scales. they'll probably tell me numbers that i don't want to hear anyway!!!

Yesteday...water intake good, exersice - fair, food good until we went out to celebrate oldest DD's exam results...major blow out in the dessert department!!! (I won't elaborate if you don't mind :o )

Hope to hear from some of you soon :smug:

hello everyone! just got in from walking dogs and working overtime till midnite! Tulip you'd be soooo proud of me! No stress eating in 4 days! things are coming under control. Apartment is good..BIG....HUGE fireplace, HUGE BEDROOM and HUMONGOUS LIVINGROOM, little kitchen and bathroom...that's ok..I only cook and clean in both those rooms anyways!lol

Lovely bay window overlooking our downtown area witha lovely brick flowerbox filled with beautiful plants. I have all my spider plants out on my stairs along with my impatiens. and a few little japanese pagoda lanterns. All my neighbors love it. Dogs are happy. And so am I...it's just the enormous amounts of boxes I have to unpack and sort thru I am dreading on sunday!lol

See everyone tomorrow nite!

So glad you are settled...unpacking happens, it just takes time! If after 6 months you haven't unpacked anything, throw it away, you don't need it!! lol
Please remind me, what breed of dogs you've got.

Yesterday's water was ok, food ok (until the two pieces of white toast and lashings of butter!! :o ) didn't do any exersice tho - a visit to the osteopath put paid to that...ooohhh did it smart!! But she assures me it will make me better in the long run! (I have to believe her, she costs a fortune!! :lol: )

Its a bank holiday weekend here so we are having my sister and her family over on sunday for a luau (never done one before) but we have gone the whole hog and thememd everything from the drink, food, music, costume and even found a web site that translates our names into hawaiian!! Hey Shelley, you could have help us with that one. I've had the children making lei's all week to welcome our guests...they are so excited!!

probably not get on tomorrow so will try to pop in on monday night!

Have a good weekend!

That sounds like sooooooooo much fun, Tulip!! A luau....haven't done that before! you'll have to give me the addy for that URL....

My dogs are a Dobie and a Jack Russell Terrorist! Good dogs and ready to be walked in a few minits...they are both watching me right now as I type

Eating has been good...just need to up the water intake...

What's an Osteopath..a Bone Doctor?

See everyone tomorrow nite!!

SOoooooooo I finally got ALL my stuff moved, final fishtank and all!!! YAYYYYYYYY my car is still full tho...just TOOOOOOOOOO tired to do it tonite. Ate well all weekend tho! and got lots of water in...so I consider the moving excercise too!lol Hope everyone had a great weekend and hope to see one and all this week!!

hey Ladies

well I had a good night of sleep last night, but unfortunately I woke up STILL tired....this is wearing me OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUT

when hubby comes home I am going to say " SEE YA, I AM GOING TO SLEEP"...but its nothing I cannot handle, I am just trying to do everything and I guess I can let some things slide....the white floor really doesnt need to be spotless ...but the kids are dressed, fed, taken to the park, taken outside, taken for walks, bike rides, played with, bathed and put to bed, so I guess I am doing the important things...lol, no time for running but my weight is the same at 113 probably because I havent had much time to SNACK...but I miss my actual running and my hour a day to myself.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Hubby will be home wednesday night...

Dont get me wrong, everything is great, I am just venting...__sorry!

Hope all is well with you guys

Leanne

Vent away leanne, that's what we here for...you are doing the hardest job in the world...bring up the next generation...it's darn hard work!!! and your right, the floor doesn't need to be cleaned but the kids do enjoy that play in the park...it makes 'em sleep too!! lol Well it's monday night now, so not long b4 you get to go on your run.

HS -- welcome to your new abode!! how's the fireplace?? well done for eating so well at such a stressful time.

Our luau went really well, i won't mention all the food and drink that was consumed, i'm back to school next week so my eating and water intake will be back to normal (i.e. good!) which is just as well, coz i feel as if i've put weight on over this weekend...i haven't had the courage to stand on the scales for a while !

well ladies i've got to go to bed to catch up on some beauty sleep!

Hello Everyone,

I'm Allie a scale addict. I get on the scale twice a day. In morning when I wake up and the evening before I go to bed. :goodscale :goodscale

Hope EVERYONE is having a GREAT day! :grouphug:

I did not think I had a problem with weighing myself on the scale, but after talking with a friend of mine, she has made me think otherwise.
I weigh myself two to three times in the morning (just in case it changes), when I get home from work I strip and get on the scale. I will also be on and off the scale in the evening a couple of times (removing all my clothes and then putting them back on when I am done).
I have actually found this to be somewhat beneficial because I have learned that my weight is normally the lowest in the later morning, and it also helps me to see that I have really lost weight. I also do not get upset when the numbers change throughout the day as my weight fluctuates. I also only measure my actual weight loss on a weekly basis, but using the scale daily is my motivation to keep continuing what I have been doing.

Hi Allie! Nice to meet you!

I have been so busy. Not enough time in the day to get everything done that needs to be done. I wish that I could go on a vacation. I wish I could afford a vacation! Ü

I got on the scale again and have lost another pound. To be honest, I do not want to lose anymore. There isn't going to be anything left of the girls but deflated airbags if I do!

Need to get to bed. See you all soon!

Welcome Allie & Jenn you both sound like you qualify for a SAA members badge! :rofl: LOL but Jenn all that dressing and undressing must be contibuting to your daily exersice as well! :lol: :lol: As for your routine Allie, i'm working towards weighing myself just in the morning and afternoon, so well done for keeping it under control ;) I hope you will like it here, we're a freindly bunch and support each other well.

Flower, your wasting away...9lbs PAST your goal weight!!! :yikes: You sound sooooo tired but just try to think where you were 6months ago and where you are now....this must be like a vacation, just you and your girls! Have you had any time to grow anything yet?

It's Tuesday Morning here, my girls are still in bed, it's the final week of the summer holidays for them, so i'm letting them sleep in. I start my new job on Thursday..I'm so excited I have to start college in a few weeks also for further training, so i'm also a little apprehensive as is been a while since i did any training/ further education...but hey, grab the bull by the horns and all that!! :dizzy:

Shelley - my my how you are maintaining your weight while living in hawaii is beyond me, our luau feast was amazing but definatly not for the dieter...the many jugs of cocktails we consumed were pretty unhealthy too :lol: :devil:

Hope your week has started well!

Thanks fo the warm welcome everyone!:grouphug: :grouphug:

Howdieeeeeeee Dooo Everyone!!

HEllo Allie and JEnn!! ALL these new messages and new Scale Addicts!! It's a wonderful thing to see! I hope you two continue to post with us!! Allie, my goal is to go to Vegas and Meet a CSI person~!lol Jenn I think Tulip is right in saying all that clothing changing is considered exercise!

Hope you two stick around with the gang! As you can see even those of scale addicts who have hit goal weight or beyond are still here to support those of us who are still trying!lol

Tulip Enjoy the little free time you have left! And as for training and school...I wish I could be a student for a career!Lol

Leanne, as long as the kidlets are fed and happy and clean, that's what counts...as Tulip said...the white floors don't have to be spotless...you can alway change the flooring!Lol

FLower,,,hit the weights...keep the girls perky!!Lol

Well eating good for another day...or is it two now? I'm on for 50 hours this week and 50 hours next week at work...so I'm really staying away from crappy stuff...the wheel of death made me sick so no more wheel of death food in the cafeteria...all the more reason to cook at home and bring it to work!

See everyone tomorrow nite!!

Hotsplashes,

Ok, I got to ask, what is a CSI person?

I'm thinking that a CSI refers to a Crime Scene Investigator, like on the TV show (which is the best!)

Good morning ladies.

My my now there's a thought....if Leanne can get to change her flooring.....does that mean i can change my kids??? My 16yo DD is driving me mad, she has been home from school for 10 weeks and she is killing me....cheeky.....arrogant (since she got her exam results)....she thinks she can do and say what she likes.....I think its just part of growing up but I'm not used to it, she used to be such a nice little girl!!! yuck I'll swop her for Leannes dirty white floor anyday!!! LOL

HS - don't joke about being a student for a carrer, my sister has almost done that...she's 35 and has studied or gap year'd her way to motherhood without actual having a permanant full time job...her PHD is now on hold until her kids are older where she intends to finish it!!! Go figure, some people are just born layabouts (sorry that should read students!!!) LOL

Taking daughters into town today for a quick look around the shops before going back to school...we need to buy the usual, pens, pencil, sharpener type stuff...so they can lose it by the second week! lol

Eating was ok yesterday and water intake too...so hopefully i'll do the same today!

It's meant to be hot today (82F max) so i'm heading for the garden after shopping!

Bye!

I'm thinking that a CSI refers to a Crime Scene Investigator, like on the TV show (which is the best!)

Hellooooooooo Allie!! How does it feel to be back to work and school? I remember those days!! Now for me it's just work, work, work,...next paycheque is going to show over 120 hours for a two week period! Yay Me!! Hopefully that will keep me honest in my eating.

Speaking of eating...I cheated today and had some Jujubes! A little tiny bag and didn't even finish it. So that was my treat.

Tomorrow I am just going to finish work, come home and SLEEP!!!

Hope to see more people by Sunday!!!!

Its saturday morning...and i have been and filled the fridge with healthy stuff for next week...i've got loads of healthy lunch boxes planned. although we are out for lunch tomorrow..our final blow out before term starts!!! :-(

It's Labor Day weekend here Tulip! Kids here don't start school till Tuesday. My Niece and Newphew are all ready as well. I took my dogs out for a big walk in the country today...it was beautiful. We saw a bunch of deer and some hawks and so many butterflies! Of course I didn't have my camera to take a pic of my Dobie chasing the butterflies.

I'm working OT tomorrow...so 25$ an hour for me! WOOHOO!

Jujubes are a chewy type of candy. Come in bright colors...usually shaped like fruit...I'll have send you a bag!lol

Walking to the post office is good...it counts as exercise!

Give your kids a hug and tell them to behave at school!

See everyone tomorrow nite!

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a good weeekend.

Hotsplashes. Working 50 hours a week & 5 classes along with weighloss is going to make for a very intersting semester.

120 hours!!! thats a lot! I remeber those days. Dont forget to treat yourself, so that you dont burn out.

Monday evening

Food - excellent
Water - good, but could have been better!
Exercise - walked the doggie for 30mins (brisk walk up and down hills and across countryside)

HS - please dont' send me any jujubes...I've got enough temptation over here as it is!!

How was your weekend Allie...is it as exciting as they say it is in Vegas???

Hello Allie and Tulip! SPeaking of exciting in Vegas...was talking with a fellow worker who is now working in Vegas...says "Michele...you GOTTA come out here...SOOOOOOOOo much fun" And of course all I can think of is "FREE all you can eat buffet!" LMAO

Water good
Eating bad
Exercise good

See everyone when I can...

Vegas is lots of fun. You can take your drink out the door into the cab and on to the next hot spot. (Can't do that here)

I wish my girls wore uniforms to school Tulip. Maybe the clothing bill would be less.

Went for a walk with the youngest. She rode her bike and we had a good time.

I have Tuesday off and I am going down to visit "the" guy. He is going to take half a day off from work. Probably won't sleep at all tonight just thinking about it. Went and bought a cute pair of thong undies for the occasion. Go ahead and call me bad, it's just hard to get any time alone when we live 70 miles away from each other and each have two kids.

Talk to everyone soon!

Hey Ladies

Yes, I am still here....lol, labor day weekend was just that LABOR...a bout of the flu, flew through our house...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, so I am still in clean up mode...lots of fun...but almost back to normal....
The floors here are ridiculous, BUT thankfully, I do not OWN this house, it is a PMQ...(army housing) so I wont be changing the floor anytime EVER, but I know for when I do buy a house that the floor better NOT be white...lesson learned eh? We are hoping to buy a house here in the next year or so, fingers crossed...
My schedule for September is PACKED....man, if I was working AND had three kids I would be a ZOMBIE...I have so much to do this month AND my oldest starts junior kindergarten...so at least I will only have 2 kids , 2 days a week...lol...
I am doing the Terry Fox run here sept 18th...its 10km, plus my daughter turns 1 on the 22nd, hubby is doing his ironman competition on the 23rd....aaaaaaah, friends b days, training, and swimming lessons, son to school...ah ah ah ah ah...Im kidding its not so bad, I would never over schedule myself,thats just going to burn me out and make me a terrible mom...just trying to keep things busy and FUN...lol

Plus, the time I spend at the gym definitely helps to re-juvenate me...

Good scaling for everyone??

Keep up the good work!

Went and walked four miles this morning. Now it is time to get some laundry done. I think I'd rather walk another four miles! lol

Talk to you all soon!

Good day, ladies!! Yes...Allie and I are matching Bookends!!lol Congrats on the 4lbs Allie! My four lbs however are part of the 15 I regained in 2 months over the summer. I'm trying to get back down to 175 and work from there...so no showing on my clicker!

Flower so good to see you!!! Walking four miles is good! 8 is alot!! But you DO need clean clothes to wear!Lol Glad you are checking in with us! How did the date with "the guy" go?

Tulip, what is it about teenage daughters? All my friends who've had daughters...end up for the most part with some serious issues! Glad I don't have kids...just my dogs!lol

Eating Excellent!
Water..so so for now
Exercise...so so..going on big walk after supper with doggies..

Well done to Allie for her 4lbs loss AND for only weighing in once a week...UNHEARD OF HERE AT SAA!!! Flower, keep up the good work with all that walking...how's your lunch dates going ;-)

Well girls, it's my XXst birthday on Thursday and i havne't told a soul (well apart from you lot!) I'm gonna see if anyone remembers. ( i always go to town for friends families birthdays, homemade cakes, special breakfasts in bed, suprises, pressies etc...) lets just see how much effort is put in, in return!!!! Cruel i know, but my lot are pushing me to the limit at the moment....with the teenager call of..me, me, me, me, me!!!!!

must go...we're having our family photos done this evening.....!!! (another teenage whim!)

Hello Ladies!

I need to be in bed right now, but I am up waiting for my oldest to get back from a volleyball game.

Tulip, I hope that they do something wonderful for your birthday. You deserve it!! I hope chocolate is involved! Ü

Splashes, I would have hung up the phone if they would have called me to do more OT.

I am going to the Seahawk game on Sunday with "the guy". It will be nice to see him with out the kids around. I have a feeling we will be looking more at each other than at the game! :) Life is good!

Talk to you all soon!

Hey Ladies

well Iam proud to say I am starting to only weigh myself once or twice a day which for me is great strides and progress...hehehe
Yesterday I weghed myself after I ran...hahaha, false weight but for reason my body seems to be handling stress and exercise pretty well... my eating is going to be terrible the next few weeks as it is bday fest here...one this weekend, then my daughter turns 1 on the 22nd (where has this year gone), my friends little ones bday then mine in a few weeks...(oh god, Im getting OLD) so needless to say I will be eating lots of cake and running a lot more...

I am trying really hard not to get stressed out, but my 4 year old is just getting to me....thankfully next week he'll be in school 2-3 days a week...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, maybe that will help, he is testing us big time right now. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, please tell me at SOME point it gets a little easier??

Flower- OMG, have FUN at the seahawk game...nothing like going to an NFL game...I am a Bills fan so any chance I get to go I am there....nothing like it!

HS- good job on the eating and all, dont work too hard tho!

Tulip- ah, I dont know that makes me nervous not telling or reminding people about your bday...if they dont remember you will be angry, so maybe mention it once casually just to turn the light on, then see what they do...I am such a Birthday person, I think no one should ever have to work on their bday and should be able to eat and/or bathe in chocolate as much as they want...lol

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Leanne

Well birthday is a mixed bag of tricks, my friends (bless them) remembered, i had a vase of beautiful flowers brought to me in the playground, and another friend popped around with really italian coffee and cheese as a pressie (strange i know, but very much appreciated) other freinds called in to wish me happy birthday unfortunalty it was just as we were sitting down to our meal, so that was a bit twarted!!! I spent the rest of the meal, being host to them making drinks / dessert etc as my family refused to do it. Hubby made me a wonderful breakfast in bed and made sure i didn't ahve to worry about the morning lunch box marathon. But the kids did nothing apart from moan about anything i aske dthem to do and not one of them bothered to get me a card / present...it was mentioned that they didn't have time and would get me something at the weekend, even my mother sent me a cheque through the post!!!

Well i suppose i should be grateful that they remember!!

Sorry to moan, just needed to vent!!! :-(

Wow Tulip....I'm sorry to hear your kids did that...that would hurt me...but at least Hubby pulled thru! Yay breakfast in bed!!! And Italian cheese? You are soooo lucky!! I guess we gotta take the bad with the good when it comes to familly! Happy SParkly Day!! I don't call them Bdays no more...I like Sparkly Day better! And I was 25 for 11 years...then I was 27 for a few...Now I'm holding at 29 and seeing how long I can pass for it...I might turn 30 next Sparkly day!lol

Flower have fun at the game!!

LeAnn, it only gets easier when they move away from home!Lol

Later taters!!!

Tulip- well it does suck about your kids not getting you anything, but I think they probably just dont "get" that you were testing them....ah, teeneagers...lol but I am cant believe how silly of me
:gift: :woo: HAPPY BIRTHDAY :flow1: :flow1: :hat:


HS- lol, hey I say if 29 works for ya, GO WITH IT...aaah, I will be 27 in a few weeks...oh no, But I am thinking of trying the "im 25" for as long as it will last, which is okay until my kids bacome teens, then it wont be so believeable!

Well hubby is going away early tomorrow morning until sunday night, so another busy busy busy weekend for moi....
We just found out that he WILL be going on tour next August I think so that means in the next year he will be away alot on training exercises ans such but it will be all worth it, when he does go away and comes back with money so we can buy a house... :cb: :dancer:

Anywho, enough from me, Happy Friday and I hope you have wonderful WEEKENDS

Leanne

crappy eating this weekend, but lotsa exercise...and this coming week is another 55 hour week so tons of money..

You ladies would be proud of me tho, everythign that went into my grocery cart today was ALL healthy and good for me!!

Eating was bad today...but I got lotsa exercise..walked everywhere today...unpacked MORE boxes and walked the dogs 5 times.

Take care everyone

Hiya i'm back after my rant of last message.

Was very dissapointed with my family and i think in hind sight they are very sorry. It is dad's birthday and they started out by bieng a bit lethargic (sp?) about that, but we got up early and made him breakfast in bed, they made a card AND a memory book, all about their first memories of him...it was so good it made him cry...soggy breakfast for him this morning!!! lol Tonight we have planned his fav meal ( I won't bore you with the details just in case you get peckish and nip to the fridge...not everyone has a gym outside to deter them like Leanne!! lol) Anyho...all this preparation for Dad's birhtday, i've had 3 big apologese and 3 we sorry it won't happen again!!! so it's now time to forget it (until next year!)

Leanne you look gorgous...wow you have almost made me want to take up running...(I did say ALMOST!!) what a looker you are now and your DD is only a year old...you are an inspiration to us all!

HS - you work too hard!!! slow down girl, your making me tired just reading your messages! lol

Allie - glad your feeling better, nowt worse than the flu

Hello everyone!!!

We had such a great time at the Seahawks game! The next day he left me a message telling me how wonderful I am and how much he hates being away from me.
My oldest daughter has a volleyball game in his town tomorrow and he is getting off work early to watch. Told me that he wants to make sure that my girls know that he is going to be supportive of everything they do.
He is just the greatest!

I am working 60+ hours this week. Splashes, how do you do it all the time? I am so tired.

Leanne- I love the picture! You are so cute!

Have a great week everyone!

Eating lousy
exercise lousy
water EXCELLENT..(why do I hear Mr. BUrns's voice when I write that??lol You gotta be a simpsons fan to get that one!L1ol)

Tulip, I hear ya...I can't wait for my long hot bath! Actually...I'm saving my pennies to treat myself to a day spa!!! Massage, manicure, pedicure, the works...that will be my 10lb treat to myself!

Flower!! Great to hear things are going so well! As for all my OT...it's called boring job sitting in front of a computer tracking down Identity theft victims and the culprits...this is not conducive to physical tiredness..just sheer boredom! on a good note..I helped a woman find her runaway teen age daughter this week!

Parade day tomorrow...or should I say today? Gonna watch it go right by my front steps!! Gonna go to farmer's market first around 8 am...that way I'll be back with fresh baked goods to nosh on while watching the parade!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Parade was awesome!~ Watched from my front porch with some friends and good bottle of Bosc Pear Wine from one of our local Wineries...Then I spent the day checking out the festivities...came home, ate too much pizza...Sunday was cleaning day...then my dog got sick...don't know why...so off to the vets first thing this morning...I cried all nite and all day till I got her back and she's fine! They couldn't find anything...figger she pooped it out...

So needless to say..tired from the stresss...ate horribly..but I did get my dishes and laundry done!!!

Hope to see everyone soon!!

Talk to all of you soon!

Ohhhhhhh a holiday? What's that? I'm just watching the clock to when it's pay day then when it's my weekend!

Tulip...your school and work and family hours are way MORE than my 60 hour weeks...being a mom is a 24/7 job..and I'm sure that Flower and Leanne will vouch for that!

Keep up the great work ladies!

Won't bore you with my horrible eating and no exercise...I'm too stressed out my little dog is mysteriously sick..they can't find anythign wrong with her at the vets..so now she's home and not a happy puppy...and I'm a very sad owner...

lol, the foot is much better, must have just been strained from my run, so I took a few days off working out so I wouldnt make it worse, and now it seems to be just fine!...Yes, hubby is away for 2 weeks, so I have no idea how I am going to swing working out..I have been dancing with the kids and doing ab crunches with my daughter sitting on my stomach...lol...not the same but its ok...hahah, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold here...yuck!

Im trying to keep busy, so organizing and cleaning..yay...lol...my house has never been so clean...lol...dont have the biggest kid of them all to clean up after...I swear sometimes it is a full time job just cleaning up after my hubby...the 3 kids and I are not nmearly as messy...hahaha

Oh well, I miss him....this is only the start of things to come...a year of work up training and going to afghanistan in August/06 for 6 months. It'll be rough, but I WILL SURVIVE..

Happy Monday everyone!

hello to everyone! Finally nice and sunny here even if a bit chillly...better than rainy and chilly like yesterday...hard to believe just over a week ago it was in the 80s...today is grocery day and since it's nice...i'm going to be taking the dogs on their weekly country walk...lotsa exercise there!

Hope everyone is feeling much better today!!

Happy Monday everyone.

Food - good
exercise - good - walked after school and took the doggie for a walk in the park
water - not too good, there's just no time at school it's amazing if we get time to breath!!! lol

Hellooooooo everyone...here's my schedule

Work sleep work sleep...eat like crap and don't do any housework!lol All that OT finally caught up with me and I'm burnt out...soooooooooooooo I'm being lazy lazy lazy..except for walking the dogs...that's the only exercise I've been getting!

Hope everyone is keep up with Leanne!

Hello everyone!

I have been working lots of hours. I don't care for the job, but it pays the bills.

My attorney thinks that we will be able to settle the divorce soon. He is going to pay me half of what I would have gotten if we went to court, but this way I do not have to wait years for it. I

I have seen my guy every weekend. He is sooooo nice. I am not used to a man being kind to me. He keeps telling me this is the way he is and I will just have to get used to it. The scale loves me and he loves me. I couldn't ask for anything better!

Wish we all lived close so we could get together. It would be so fun to visit and see each other face to face.

Will talk to you all soon!

Well, never thought Id say it, but I miss my hubby...now, I dont miss cleaning up after him, I just miss him....
My parents are going through the lovely world of "divorce", and its not fun...flower...how are you doing with it all?......I have known for YEARS my parents would get split, but now that it is actually happening, I cannot believe how emotional it is making me...and no one to hug me...(well the kids, but you know) So I took my 2 year old to swimming lessons...oh my god, youd think he was being killed, he kept SCREAMING MOMMY MOMMY>...I felt terrible...it lasted less than 10 minutes.
So needless to say an emotionally gripping week for me...so today I went to the gym, (the babysitter was here already since the swimming lesson was a no go)

SO I have filled the fridge with all those " go ahead and eat as much as you want food, like fruit and veggies..."
UGH..................
Thanks for letting me get it out, I feel a little better

Leanne

Hellooooooooo Flower and Leann...

Good too see everyone...Congrats on all the Love Flower! Yes it would be great if we could all get together! I think once we all win the lotteries we should!Lol

Leanne, I've been thru3 divorces with my biological mother...none of them were good...even as you get older...it still hurts...and what ever you do...stay strong for yourself...don't let them use the you or the babies as tools against each other...don't let either of them guilt you into anything ...don't let them emotionally abuse you...they may not realize they are doing it because what they think they are doing is getting you to be a support for them in their down time...but it's not the right thing...you can be support for both of them without them using you other motives..subconscious or not...I've yet to see a "nice" divorce...sorry Yes I ahve...my two gay friends a guy and a girl who got married to each other to keep their families happy until they could move to canada and get a divorce and come out of the closet!Lol Keep up the swimming lessons! I still don't know how to swim!!

Keep up the love ladies!!!!

well..this one is gonna be short...got the flu that everyone at work got except me...until today...so hope everyone is feeling MUCH better than I am!

hi all

I'm nice and stress free at the moment...it's half term here in the uk, so i've only just gotten up, had a lovely breakfast (healthy) and the kids are watching tv (unheard of in term time!) Ohhh i love the holidays!!!!

Sorry to hear about your parents divorce Leanne, it's not nice at all, i agree with HS - support them but keep your distance..my mother and my step father divorced and it created havoc for the rest of us (siblings on both sides) Just remember it's their battle not yours..sounds harsh i know, but what with hubby away you need to be strong for your kiddies. as for the swimming lessons, how about just taking ryan with his big brother the public pool, no lessons just fun, maybe if your little one can just have fun in the water with no pressure of lessons he may start to enjoy it. especially if cameron like the water too, it may rub off on him??

Flower - you sound happy....work hard all week, and what a reward every weekend! I'm glad finaly things are coming around for you...how are those girls of yours enjoying their new house and happier mum?? I do agree with what your saying, it would be nice to live closer...i'll take HS advice and start doing the lottery i think ;-)

Sorry to hear your sick HS - you probably caught it off me when i logged on here last monday i was full of it...sorry! It's been right thorough our family...the little ones got it now, right at the start of her holidays!!! ahhh! Anyhoo....you look after your self, it's all that darn overtime you keep doing!

I'm eating well, drinking loads (seen as i'm at home and not in school) and exercise...could do better...well i am on holiday!!! lol

HS - are you still the gfuru of tater chips and salsa..or have you curbed those cravings??? lol

Hey Ladies

Thanks for all the help....I am taking my frustrations out on my house...it hasnt been this clean and organized since before we moved in...lol....my hubby may not know what to think when he comes home.
As for the swimming lessons, I NOW have to go in the water with him...YIKES, I HATE wearing a bathing suit and I especially hate the one I have now...I need a new one, but have to wait...yikes!
As for the divorce issue....yes, I am staying out of it as much as I can...but as an only child they are calling to ask which things I want and yada yada...lol, the only thing I want is my dad's formal dining room set, it was my Oma's and my parents got it restored and it is GORGEOUS, now with 3 kids and a tiny house, I dont actually want it until they are MUCH older and we have room for it...but, it is known that it is MINE MINE MINE...hahahaha The good thing about it all, is that we MAY actually go down to Niagara now that we will be welcomed at my dad's house...I love my mom, but she stresses me out like you wouldnt believe.

ANywho, my weight has been really really good...although I have started back to the not eating when I should and being starving/bored at night...so now that I realize it...I HAVE TO STOP...

Happy Monday everyone
Leanne
CW 111-112... :lol:

Hi! Everybody:cb:you guys have no idea how happy I am for finding you all since my DH thinks I am crazy for taking my wt on 3 different scales now I know I am not alone:cb: I have 3 scales one digital and 2 non digital I take weight first thing in the morning after using the Bathroom take off all my clothes take the weight on scale no 1 then on scale no 2 then at last on the digital scale which is scale no 3 Please accept me as your new member although I am in challenge # 19 but I hope I can join you guys too. I dont remember the time I was not an addict as when I did not have a digital scale I used to go to my grocery store to take my wt. I jump on my scale many time a day and its a challenge for me to take a break from my scale.

You are very welcome Sandy - it's always nice to meet another scales addict!!! You have got to be a champion though...3 different scales, that has got to be a record!!! LOL You are also very brave as there is no way in this world that i would dream of getting on a scales in public...I have to be in my bathroom with the door locked..no witness you see (!) lol

Splashes....today i'm not sick or working...hurrah for me!!! I've eaten well, drank plenty of water so it's just the exersice bit i need now, but there is good news on that front, i have just signed up for a 5 week yoga course, i start on wednesday. I did this a few years ago and really enjoyed it, so the opportunity has arose for me to join a new class amd i've jumped at the chance...are you proud of me Leanne....it's not running but it is exersice!!! ;-) As for you splashes...you don't need an class with all the OT you do..not enough hours in the day!!! Glad to hear your feeling better!

Hi! Everybody thanks for the welcom Tulip today I took my wt early in the morning it was little less then usual so I planned to eat cautiously and did 30 mts of ex it is late evening now but I have still to do 30 mts more of ex.:dz:
see you guys later..........:wave:

Hellooooo Sandy and Welcome to SAA!! We are a fun bunch and Tulip is right..so far you ARE the champ with 3 Scales...Welcome and hope you stick around! I sit on the toilette now and have conversations with my scale. It usually keeps me from jumping on. It's nice to know I can win the battle now and then.

Eating is getting better...went for a HUGE walk with the pups today...I worked yesterday so I am making this one day off MY DAY...Drinking lotsa water and green tea! Feeling much better...but am finding out I am not the only one at work that is experiencing these headaches and flu like symptoms...we are putting together a letter to have the air systems checked.

Tulip what Class are you taking? Let me know!!

See everyone tomorrow!!

Michele

Thanks Hot Splashes for welcoming me. I did 30 mts of TAE BO couldnt do ABS exs, food was good -5 self baked chicken nuggets, now the time for snack is after 2 hours meanwhile I am feeling like napping. so long girls........

hello
just a quickie as i'm off to my yoga class...i don't know what type it is...just yoga at the moment...i'll tell you if it's called any different when i get back...if i can walk to the computer...expecting to ache when i get back...lol

sandy...was 5 self baked chicken nuggets your dinner?? It sounds like a snack to me...lol is tae bo a bit like tai chi??

Well i did my yoga....it was in a really cold gym and it was not the right type of enviroment for such activity...but if it wasn;t for that i would have enjoyed it as the tutor was great. I'm going to go again next week and if they haven't moved it to a different room, we're not staying, but going to find another class. Woke up this morning and i'd lost a pound ...so it must have done me some good...although i am a bit stiff today (that was all the shivering i did though!!!) lol

Hope your all well....and not working too hard HS or running after those kids too much leanne....and wheres flower?? chasing after that gorgeous man of hers!!!!!lol

Eating well
water - could be better (i'll try harder tomorrow)
Exersice - I havne't stoped all day does that count???

Hideyho Gang...sorry for not being around...suffering those dang headaches again and working OT...And now I'm finding out I'm not the only one suffering these blinding headaches...alot of people at work are too! I AM NOT ALONE!L!ol

So there's going to be airquality tests done and they are cleaning the ducts...hopefully this will make some difference..we're also hoping they clean the carpets....vacuuming can only do so much!

Eating is ok,,water is great...Exercise has been good...BIG walks in the country with the dogs while the weather is still holding!

Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Food - good
Water - could be better
exersice - better than it has been

Hi all,
You work too hard HS but walking your puppies is very healthy, unfortunatly my yorkie hates walking in bad weather, he jumps up and expects to be carried if it is wet or too windy!! lol so not much exersice in bad weather.

Hope you get your work enviroment sorted out HS sounds pretty unhealthy.

Where are the others??

Howdie doo folks! I'm finally finished OT until after xmas and I've got a 6 day vacation coming up...yay for paid holidays!! And now I'm going to spend all that time cleaning and walking my dogs everyday!!! Feeling somewhat better..they've got a cleaning company coming in to clean the airducts...so it's a start...

Eating is ok...exercise ok...water GREAT!!

See everyone tomorrow nite!

glad your feeling better HS...oh boy a 6 day paid holiday....bllllllisssssssssssssss!!! Enjoy every minute.

My food was good until the chocolate bar i consumed on the way home!!! grrrr water ok and exercise good ( did my second yoga class last night).

School is very challenging at the moment so i'm coming home every night pooped!!! roll on the weekend!

Until tomorrow!

Tulip! CHOCLIT MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmmmmmm...and it was only a little one!! You deserve a treat for work and school and all that you do!! DON"T feel guilty!!!


Ack...food was good until I got home...then pigged out on tortilla chips and salsa...but water was good...exercise ok...

We actually got snow here today!!! nothing big..just a dusting...but I DON'T like it!! I'm just sooooooooo NOT a coldweather person...

So now I'm off for my final walk with doggies and off to bed....

See everyone tomorow nite!

Hey Ladies

well finally after 2.5 years the batteries in my scale DIED...yes, this was an amzingly GOOD thing though...2 WHOLE weeks I went without weighing myself...let me tell you how absolutely wonderful it felt...and darn it, we went and bought new batteries and again I find myself running to the scale every morning...BUT, only once a day...so that is definitely an improvement.

and after 2 weeks of not weighing myself, I found I was down 1 lb to 110lbs...what the heck!! We started doing " the abs diet and workout" to help chisel our abs ( my problem area) and so far it is greeeeeeeeeeeeeat!

Hope everyone is doing well...
Latah
Leanne :carrot:

Congrats Leanne! Is having your batteries like going thru withdrawal when you quit smoking?lolol I have never smoked but I know friends who have and quit and their first two weeks were horrible...

What is the "ab diet & workout"? My tummy has never been the bad part.,..its my butt and thighs...but that goes without saying for the Italian in me and me being a former runner and a horserider....That's where us riders go first...Have you ever seen what happens to pro figure skaters if they don't stay in shape!!! OMIDOG!!! They have these tiny upper bodies...and these unbelievably HUGE butt and thighs...from allt he muscle going to flab....scary scary...I've just gone to flab kinda everywhere!Lol

Well I'm off for OT again...why do I do this??? THey always come to me and con me into it...but I only work one day next week...Tuesday...then I'm off for 6 DAYS!!!!!

Hope to see everyone!!!

Michwele

Went for an awesome walk yesterday with the dogs..took my camera and got some great pics...out for about 2 hours tramping through the countryside! Eating was good, exercise GREAT..water Great!!

Hope to see everyone soon!

The easiest way I can describe the abs diet and workout, is that it is designed to help acheive a 6 pack...but the workout is a combination of cardio and weight training with an emphasis on abs 2-3 days a week ...the workout is great, because weight training is what I have been lacking..and now I have stricture to my workouts and I am loving the workout and results thus far...now the diet is BLAH...but I have taken some of the principles from it, and am giving it a shot...so after just over a week, I have a 4 pack....hahaha...but, because I have had kids I have that pesky mommy area that needs tightening and seems to be doing so....so overall it really isnt so bad.

HS- great job...and OMG, my friend next door is an ex figure skater, which I found out only recently, but she has the EXACT thing you were talking about, and she explained to me that is why she is very bottom heavy...who knew eh? this was a first for me...when I was little I irish danced, and the leg muscles I had when I was 9 never went away....(thank god , now I love them)

anyways, hope everyone is doing well...

Leanne :carrot:

Hello everyone.

Sorry about not checking in sooner.

The great guy that I have been in love with for the last 20 years broke my heart last week. Told me that he loved me and my girls but didn't feel like we were meant to be together. Wrote this in an email after we had a great weekend together. I am just crushed. Thank God for my girls or I just feel like I could die. How do you ask someone to spend the rest of your life with them and then break up with them in an email, an email!

Not going to change my weight tracker but I have lost five pounds over this.

Oh gees flower...I am so sorry to hear that...especially in an email...that is despicable...but don't dwell on it...use it as a stepping stone to move on....

Leanne...hehehe that the thing with me being a health science student (even tho it's for horse) I've learned all about hte human body and animals and what happens...we have a type of horse shown called "halter horses" they are kinda like a cross between a bodybuilder and a moviestar...they have to have the looks of a moviestar but the body of a weightlifter...trainers put these horses on treadmills, aquacisers, all sorts of things to build up their muscles...once they stop showing, if they don't maintain consistent good diet and exercise turn into big fat obese blobs of horseflesh...just goes to show how the human world has imposed itself on the natural kingdom!

I'm starting my vacation....it's lovely day..cold but sunny!

See everyone later!

well. the alberta clipper has swept thru and left snow and 18 degree weather...so it's dang cold here...got alot of house stuff done before everyone comes to my house on sunday!

Eating excellentL! Water Great! exercise..soso...

happy turkeyday to the US folks!

Just a quick cruz to say eating excellent, water great, exercise excellentl! got all sorts of stuff done today that made me build up my heartrate and sweat somel! See everyone tomorrow

Hi

Sorry for the absence..but work is hectic..i'm coming home and i'm pooped!!! Little boy that i support has ASD (autisim) and as the routine at school changes due christmas preparation he is climbing the walls...testing all my patience, coping strategies along with my energy levels. Roll on the end of term!

Flower - just read your news..I'm soooo sorry, it sounded so perfect. But like Splashes says...pick yourself up and put it down to expereience, you had fun while it lasted...move on and learn from it. hugs from us all

Leanne - a 4 pack??? that's got to beat my 1 pack any day lol glad to hear your having fun exersicing again...all i need it it to spur me on now...although my yoga class is going well, can't say i'm seeing much difference, but it must be doing me some good!

I promise i'll try not to leave it so long before my next message next time!

food bad - opened the christmas chocolates tonight (PMT made me do it!!)
water bad - way too much coffee to go with the chocolate!
exersice non exisistant....no babysitter to leave youngest one with so couldn't go to yoga

Tulip Darling...we started a new thread!!lol Go catch us there!!

Michele

You have me rolling on the floor. This is me!! I have a love relationship with my scale. I miss it when I am on vacation. I am currently at my moms but I use her scale. I was just thinking that when we move to teh new hosue next month I might have to buy a new scale because my old one is getting a bit worn out. It actually was agift from my exboyfriend. Everyone thought I should have been insulted by this gift. He gave it to me because he had a scale. The first thing I would do when visiting him was to get on the scale. He knew I also jumped on it as soon as I woke up, before I went to be, before adn after my shower. He thought it was funnny and bought me my own for my house. But yes, I am an addict,
Naomi

Hi Babyweight

I'm glad you liked our thread. You sound like you would have fitted in really well, unfortunately we all spent far too much time on our scales than we did on our 'puters so our thread last thread (SAA Xmas Version )eventually died out!

Maybe your imput might get us off our scales and back to the keyboard..who knows!

Watch this space!!
