Just think Michelle - y'all can do it all over again!

So happy we're back together I thought I'd get more work done without 3FC, but as it turns out, I'm just a lazy a**! Haha.

That made me LOL also! I'm thinking of setting short term goals like you mentioned that your doing for the 4th. I need some extra incentive. I'm doing OK-OP...but I want to be Good-OP!

Yes, Jennifer, love your new picture!

My car seems to have a problem now since I had to drive through a freakin' lake (it's been pouring rain all day) to pick my girls up from the babysitters. Check Engine light will not go off and the little wheel/meter that measure RPM's sits at 0 while I'm driving. Will not drive it anymore this weekend and take it in on Monday. DH is worthless when it comes to motors. Except for my motor!

Ugh Nori - I'm so sorry. I hate that stupid check engine light! Like I'm gonna pull off to the side of the road then and there and give my car a tune-up!!! I remember that dang light coming on when I was just heading out on a 2500 mile road trip. Totally freaked me out, and as I recall there was no real reason for it. 'Course I called all my family and shared my panic with them at the time!!!

I should really go to bed, but instead I'm watching "Pride and Predjudice" for the millionth time. I so wanna be Jennifer Ehle when I grow up!

My other semi-shameful silly dance movie - Bootmen. Anyone seen it?

lol how about dirty dancing ????
and flash dance there the other ones i remember ..

they are the only other shameful dance movies i can remember ..

Nori i wonder if that light is on becuase water go into your fuse box??? if you leave it to dry out it may not come back on.. if your rpms are not working too then i would guess you have blown one of the fuses.. The main fuse box is usually at the side of the engine.. if you remove the lid you will be able to see very clearly if one of them have gone.. the ones there and huge and very easy to see. They are also easy to replace you just need to unsrew the screws holding them .

Morning everyone Oh it's so good to be back on chat again. I'm up early today so I could finish my exercise and start the day early. DH is at work right now for few hours and I asked him to give me a wake up call Nothing much going on other than that. I'm just glad it's a weekend.

I might just surprise myself and everybody else! I have absolutely nothing cool to wear and we're picking up the girls from Florida...l
Rhonda, I'm with you with the July 4th goal. I want to push my body to the max (since I didn't last week) to see how much I can lose and what I can improve inches wise. We're going to Niagara Falls, Canada for the July 4th weekend and I have nothing cool to wear either. So say what we "virtual" kick each other's butt and achieve our mini goal?

We can start the topic again. I know you're busy right now Chellez so no hurries. But do you want me to PM you my address again so you can send me the books (at your convenience) to try out the series? I don't know if PM stuff was saved or it disappeared too in the crash.

I need to join you in that goal Rhonda!! I have a family reunion on the 5th, and want to be in better shape than I am today....so that I can buy something new to wear. So, count me in!

Glad to be back on-line! I stopped checking in for a little while because I was starting to obsess over it!
My dh went off to Ottawa for a few days...I miss him being gone, but I do love having the van to myself for a few days, and the extra room in bed is sometimes nice too!
It is suppose to be super hot here today......some mornign cleaning to do, a little gardening, and then the kids want to go to the mall for a while (something we don't do much on the weekends when dad is home!)

My 14 yr old son met a girl at a track meet last week (he is a bit girl crazy, which makes me laugh), and she gave him her number (not so crazy about that!). Anyway, they want to hang out at the mall together...not crazy about that either!! I told him he couldn't go. When all this came out, I asked him what he would think if it was his sister giving out her number to meet a guy that we didn't know, at the mall. After that, he understood my reasoning, but still wanted to see this girl. So, that leads me to our trip to the mall today....all of us..and a couple of his friends from school! Still not sure how I feel about it....am I getting too worried about this??

Anyway, time to get some of that cleaning done! I plan on getting a jog in tonight....when it cools off a bit!
have a great rest of the weekend everyone....stay cool, and dry...and moving!!

I think so. I think that at 14 hanging out at the mall is a VERY public place. Not much room for shenanigans except bad food. Too many people watching.

I was 14 about a million years ago, and my parents were very strict. I was allowed to have boys hang out in the summer (my parents both taught, so they were home), so we spent a lot of time on my front porch.

I could sit with a boy at the ball park, which was a big hang out.

I could talk on the phone with them for my 10-minute limit.

I could NOT go to their house until I was 15. I could full on-date near sixteen, but I had the earliest curfew until I graduated.

So I started to do some math. I realized that with WW, the lowest points per day (I have really old material, so this may be outdated) is 18. If a point is roughly 50 cals, that is under 1000 cals a day. I have been trying to adhere to the "Women should never eat less than 1200 cals a day" rule, but that may not be true. I have seen NO movement with 1200-1400 cals per day and burning about 300 with exercise. I am dropping it. I am going to 1000-1200. I am going back to cal counting online instead of on my wipe board and not exceeding 1200.

I am hungry already.

No run this morning. stormy weather....

Morning team!

I think I'm going to have to start watching bad dance movies to keep up with the thread here. I can say that I've watched Dirty Dancing but it's been so many years I can't remember much except that everyone called the chick Baby.

I woke up starving this morning but I'm heading out for my 10K in an hour so I'm not sure how much to eat. I had a banana and I'm going to have a pancake too so hopefully that'll tame my stomach for a bit. And water. I'm going to guzzle down a lot of water then pee just before heading out the door. At least it's overcast so it's not going to be too hot out.

I saw the scale nudge down to 205 this morning. I just decided last night that I'm setting a goal of getting into Onederland by August 1. I usually don't put any time goals with my weight loss but this is a pretty simple one and I'm really itching to get to Onederland!

Anyone mind if I chime in? Cuz I've got a 13 yo girl. So I'm a little more liberal because I know my dd texts, talks on the phone and IMs with boys. I'm okay with that my opinion on it is why should boys be a forbidden..that just makes them that much more appealing and curious as to what the hubub is all about. I do monitor her computer stuff (email, IM's and texts) I dont read it all but I glance through it to make sure there isnt stuff I need to be aware of. I'm also aware that I dont know everything thats going on and thats where communication comes in...I talk to her.

I also know that when she and her friends go to the movies or to the mall that sometimes boys go with. I'm okay with that too...because they are all friends. Girls can have boys as friends and it not be sexual, and now is when they need to learn that these relationships are possible.

My feeling is...I've got to give her the opportunity to show me that she can be trusted. She's got this one friend who's mother who doesnt allow her to do much of anything without her. She's not even supposed to talk to boys on the phone or text with them. But, I know for a fact (because my dd told me) that she has boys in her phone that she just labels them with a girls name (like this boy jack is jackie) in her phone. This is the girl who is gonna end up pregnant in highschool because she sneaks around and lies about everything. She's always pushing the envelope because her mom wont cant seem to loosen the apron strings. This girl is totally boy crazy (see the forbidden aspect)

Anyway..sorry to ramble on and on. Thats just my take on it. The mall is fairy harmless especially if other friends are there and if you'll be around too. And, if 2 kids are gonna fool around, they are gonna find a way to do it, you cant watch them 24-7 where there is a will there is a way. Reiterate your expectations and values and trust(and hope! LOL) that they'll make the right choices and most of all...communicate!

I agree Melissa. I remember when I was a teen. My mom was very liberal with me. I am sure other parents thought she was crazy. I remember being 16 and having boy/girl sleepovers. We were all friends and NOTHING ever went on. My mom stayed right out there with us and we all had a blast. I never had a reason to sneak around. I never had a curfew either. There was a lot of open communication and I thank my mom for that.
