to the Back In Kindergarten thread!




"I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc.
Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......"


You are welcome to join us in our chatter about life and our weight loss journey! So please grab your coffee/water/diet coke or whatever your drink of choice is, and pull up a chair and join us!

Ok, I think I have been watching way too much SATC dvd's.....I so want a cosmo right now,.,,,,and I miss my McD.
I walked 3.5 miles today and as soon as I get another ticker up I will reflect that.
I need to go get Gaby a toy from Freddies and I am going to pick up a People mag. My hot Friday night. *snicker*
Rach went camping out in central Oregon.........like 2 1/2 hours away. She will be back Sunday. we hope. lol And tomorrow is the big parade here in Portland.
Oh, I think I wrote in a lost post that I rode on a pooper scooper a few years ago, that was fun. Maybe that is why the server crashed?? lol

anyway - new thread, new tickers...we are kicking a$$!!!

Some inspiration ladies..







Btw..I put on my jeans today, and they were feeling a little lose. Not so loose that they could fall off though. And my underwear is feeling a little loose too. The sides keep trying to slide down, lol. I've been a size 13 (jeans) and wore a L (undies) ever since freshman year. I'll probably have to go down to a size 11 pretty soon huh?? This sucks though..I own a billion pairs of undies and they're all the same size, lol. Omg, I can just see Fonzo's face when I tell him that I'm gonna need smaller underwear. And what do you do with all the underwear that doesnt fit anymore?? Do you give it to Goodwill or throw them away?? Omg, that would be just a waste to throw them away. They're all from Victoria's Secret & Fredricks of Hollywood!!! I spent a good amount of time & money buying my underwear. LOL!!! I'm feeling a little sad about my underwear now, lol. I cant wait to buy new pants though!!!!

Francie -
Let's go to the gym!!
I don't think you give undies to Goodwill.......lol. I have seen bra's but never undies. I suppose while losing weight we just buy 1 pair at a time?? lol.........jk. I have a flat butt,what do I know....
Since we are chatting clothes my 8 Levi's are loose now and I can wear my 6's until lunch, after lunch I am full and have to take them off. lol
anyway, I promised gab a toy, better get going to the store!

Wow...I tried to get in here all day. I am laughing because it took me so long to do my ticker...now I have to do it again.
I only got 2 miles in again today due to this bad weather.

It is starting to storm again, so I am off the computer. See you all tomorrow.

Hello ladies...

Missed you all! Glad we (3fc) are back online...what would I do without you all?

FRANCIE...you and all your underwear, lol! I am the opposite...I have a drawer full of smaller ones, lol. Not sure when I bought them all and why they are smaller, lol. But ya...unfortunately I don't think anyone wants used panties, lol. Hope you have lots of books to read for tomorrow!

SUSAN...I remember you riding the pooper scooper, lol! Sorry you are missing McD WTG on the loose jeans...size 6 eh? I can only dream of wearing a 6 and you will be at 145 in no time flat!

SUE...same here...took forever to do a ticker yesterday and went and did another. Hope the storms aren't so bad. I know we have had our share of them and I have had enough, lol. I suppose it will stop soon enough.

I think my weight ticker is wrong but I am too lazy to go look at the calendar and see what my weight is, lol. I have to weigh in tomorrow anyway so...I'll change it tomorrow. Hoping I don't show a gain. Kind of watched the food this week but thinking for some reason I still didn't do so well. We'll see...did get my exercise done today, and then some, lol.

Anywho...chat tomorrow. NIghty, night ladies!

Well it sucks that you cant give away underwear. Mine is so nice..but I can totally understand why, lmao. It just would be a shame to throw it away, lol. You know..I still have my very first bra. Its a AAA!! LMAO!! I cant believe I was ever that small. I remember being in the first grade, and I just couldnt wait until the day I could wear a bra and have boobs, lol.

Okay well..I think I might finish my book tonight..lol. I'm not sure yet. I'm dying to know what happens..but if I read it now then I wont have anything to do tomorrow besides clean. Ew, lol.

But ya..the power outage is between 7am to 3pm..and I'll be on as soon as the power comes back on, lol. I have an addiction to the net, lol.

Where the heck is Sassy?????????

Okay..I woke up at 6am because my cats are little demons disguised with cute faces. I wasnt actually gonna get up..but I figured I might as well eat some breakfast before the power went out today. So thats what I'm doing right now. I'm eating a really big bowl of cheerios, which should hold me off for a couple of hours (I hope). And I took out some jelly for a PB&J sandwich later, lol.

So ya..I dunno what else to do right now. So I think I'm just gonna hang out with electricity until 6:57am, lol.

BBL

Good morning, ladies!

I too am up bright and early. Had it planned to get up at about 6'ish and be out the door for my walk at 6:30 but Ernie dog had other plans. He needed to go potty and I could hear the clinking of his tags at 5:30'ish, ugh! Needed my extra 30 minutes, lol. He did a quick lift of the leg last night around 9 p.m. because he was spooked...some dummy had some big fireworks going off...too freakin early for that! Anywho...so I've been up since then, did 3.5 miles this morning and will do my weights later, had breakfast, and have been on the computer for a little over a hour...ha, maybe I will get something done today! The plan is to read, read and read!

Today is my WI and not sure if I messed up but forgot to weigh until after I had an energy drink...doesn't matter...I don't have to change the ticker, lol. I am up a pound from two weeks ago...guess it could be worse. But forgot to WI last Saturday because of being busy with Cambrie, so don't know what I was at then.

On the agenda for today, like I said above, I plan to get lots of reading done. finally finished Under The Banner of Heaven...freaky people I swear. DS gave me a book he got in the mail, lol...an Inspriational Romance, lol...some place wanting him to sign up and get more...he didn't want it of course so gave it to me and I started it, it's actually not so bad. I'll finish it today and start another...thinking, The Doctors Wife, we'll see. Also have a couple of loads of laundry to do and that's about it. Pretty relaxing, lazy day. Everyone is at work so it's just me and the doggy.

FRANCIE...enjoy your electricity free day, lol. Hope it's not a hot one so you don't burn up. I too have an addiction to the net, lol! I have to force myself to stay away from the basement...that is one reason the computer is down there. You still have your first bra? I can't even remember that far back, lol.

HIYA EVERYONE else!

I'll be back later to chat when everyone else wakes up, lol. I always forget about the different time zones we are all in.

Good morning..

My pedometer kept resetting on me, so I have to guess at steps for now. Too bad about the forums...at least they were able to save most of the data; what an awful thing to have to deal with on a Friday. I made it to 6 am step aerobics yesterday! I haven't done that in awhile and my body seems to be holding up ok. I am going to aerobics again this morning...I estimated 3 miles for classes. I really need to get a good quality pedometer so I can work on getting my total daily steps up to 10000.

Cristina - mornin'! I'm up, but not early enough to make it to yoga...so off to aerobics I go. Your miles are awesome...I'll never keep up with you and Mindee. I read Under the Banner...and I agree with you. I felt just icky and needed a shower after reading that book. I have to say I thought it was extremely well written and I read that Jon Krakauer the author takes in the "lost boys" from FLDS and helps them get on their feet after they have been shunned by the group. I have alot of admiration for that.

Francie - why is your power off? I am addicted to the net too, so I would be hopeless in a major power outage. I do keep an old style touch tone phone around "just in case" at least I could yak on the phone. If your undies are well-laundered, they might be welcome at a women's shelter...just a thought. They probably want donations of new undies, but never hurts to ask imo...I give all my dd's old clothes to a cousin who is a bit younger and her mom doesn't care if there are undies or swimsuits in the bag. She knows everything's getting washed thoroughly. I can't believe you have your first bra!

Susan- yay for the smaller sizes! I haven't seen a size 8 since I was in high school! Sorry about missing McD...I think a night with SATC and People magazine is just the ticket. Make sure there's some wine around Keep watching SATC, sooner or later all the men act like a$$es, so maybe then you won't miss him so much, ha (jk)

Hi Sue - wtg on the miles!

Hi Jules, Sassy, Mindee and Tammy! Hope you all are doing well...

I finished up my project yesterday, today I send it off and wait for my check - yippee. My nano also arrived yesterday so today I will play around with that a bit, and set up some music on my shuffle so I can give that to my daughter. fun stuff. Other than that the day is filled with errands - bleh, but better get them done. Things will calm down when school is out...then I'll be bored -so go figure.

Hi all...I kept popping back on yesterday to read and post...i am glad we are all back. When I went to the local gym there was nothing working out that looked liked that (or maybe I would still be going....)
I need to go get my ticker done for the 300 miles but I don't have time right now--this will be just a quickie...

It's my 20 year anniversary today (we lived in sin for two years before that--both kids and my mom went with us to the courthouse) Hubby says we should play the lottery 6-7-8 since we got married in 1988 and this is 2008. Nothing special planned...just playing with the baby.

BBL for indys!! Love, Me

Okay...I am never going to catch up or keep up with you ladies and the walking. I HAVE to get a pedometer NOW.
We keep getting these darn storms that keep me in the house...and off the computer.
Today is just plan nasty. LAst night we went to the local (new) casino for dinner and to play a bit. They called a tornado warning and got us off the machines. DH and I just hied it home. I won $65. woohoo..

Another darn storm.....grrr.

Cristina~Its a cold day here..yet again. But I couldnt get back to sleep. I really did try though. I put my ipod on, and put it kinda low, and had the window open all the way..But it just wasnt working. I need it seriously cold in the bedroom with both fans & the tv on to fall asleep properly. Yes..I still have my first bra, LMAO!!! You gotta know something though..when I moved, I brought all my bedroom furniture with me. I've had it since I was 10. And last year I got really bored and cleaned out the drawers finally..and found my 1st bra in the bottom drawer, lol. Its only been like 13 years since I first wore it, lol.

Katy~Twice a year, they have a scheduled power outage. Its to make sure everything is still working properly. Its a bunch of BS, and I hate it, lol. I've donated swimsuits before..I dunno about the underwear. I was them with this stuff they sell at VS, so they're pretty nice still and in very good shape. Maybe I can make my butt bigger and lose everything else. I mean, JLO can do it, why cant I?? lmao. Oh..and my 1st bra..it could be an eye mask now..lol.

Jules~Happy Anniversary!!!!!! LOL about living in sin for 2 years. Fonzo used to stay at my house whenever he was in town (this was when he was stationed in SD). I wanted to move to WA with him w/o being married..but my mom wouldnt allow it, lol. She suddenly turned all religious on me and wanted us to get married so we wouldnt "live in sin". LOL!! What is the 20th anniversary?? Like silver or something?

Sue~That is so scary about the tornadoes. I'm glad you're okay!!!




OKay well...as you can already tell..the power is back on, lol. Omg..I was having the worst morning too. Like I told Cristina, I couldnt get back to sleep. Last night, I was feeling really shaky and panicky..but I just read through my panic, trying to keep it from getting worse. Well..because I got so little sleep..all the shakiness and the panic came back when I woke up. I couldnt relax for awhile. So I put my ipod on super loud (seriously, my ears are still ringing, lol)..and I cleaned the entire kitchen. It only took a half an hour!! WTF!! LoL!! So I threw away some junk mail and walked around from room to room for a little bit. Then I finally just opened the window in the living room..sat down on the couch and forced myself to get lost in the book I'm reading. It really worked..but whenever I stopped..I started shaking and started to panic too. I laid down on the couch once to see if I could fall asleep..but I just ended up panicking more and when I started to tear up, I forced myself to read again. I got lost in the book for awhile until I realized I read like 10 pages in 15 mins. That was the first time ever I really hated being a speed reader. So I started playing with my cat and reading at the same time, lol. And hey it worked. LoL!!! But like..after sometime my cat got all sleepy on me and fell asleep...lol. Then as I was reading, I dozed off too. I only woke up when I heard the power come back on. Ugh..my neck is so stiff right now. I'm gonna go to bed in a little bit. I wanna keep reading my book..I'm almost done. But why push it?? I dont wanna make myself get worse right now.

I'm kinda glad I didnt have to walk to the store in this cold weather. I started feeling sick yesterday. It was probably allergies, but who knows really. Honestly though...I havent felt this alone in 2 years. It sucked so bad. I hate being alone with my thoughts. They are not good at all. Its what causes me to panic. I need noise to distract me. Plus I was all paranoid from watching Dateline last night, lol. Why did they have to do a story on kidnapped females last night?!?!?! Ughhh..thats all I need to think about before I sit in my room alone at night, lol.

Anyways..I'm sooooooooooooooooooo sleepy, so I'm going to bed. TTYL!!

My new McDreamy!!! His name is John and in my research he is dating Bo Derek, but that is dated information because he is mine now. I can sooooo be a stalker -lol. He plays Aidan in SATC and I might go pick up My big fat greek wedding because he is in that too and Northern Exposure. Isn't he dreamy??

Sue - I need to get a pedometer too. If I spread what I want over a few days it makes me feel like I am not spending a lot of money. So, I will go today and pick one up. It would make it easier just to go out and walk and not have to guess at the distance.......btw -I walked 84 miles yesterday, I am guessing, of course. lol ...jk. Lame joking around.

Jules - Happy Anniversary!

Cristina - I have some pic's of me in the pooper scooper, wearing this frilly dress and hat. It was rainy that day and my hair PUFFED up and I looked like a poodle, can't believe I went out in public like that. lol You're so good on your walking!

Katy - I was drinking wine last night, that was how Gaby snagged a $14 dollar toy at Freddies. I said "suuuuuuure, anyding you vant babeeee".....I bought some Sleep max and went right to bed. Woke up at 1am to noise next door and decided to clean the apt. Went back to bed at 4am and here I am! lol Doing laundry and Gabster goes w/ her father at 2pm. Want to go to Powells and browse around.

Francie - have you tried writing a journal? That might help when you are alone....course I just come here and chatter and that helps when I feel alone. My kitty decided 2am was a good time to get frisky, he kept racing around the apt and playing with hair ties. lol

anyway - I better get off my arse and get productive!!! Chat at you all later....

to Mindee, Tammy and Sassy!!
