I am sure that I am the only one on the site today. Joe left for Denver so I have been poking around the house and thought I would pop in.
Washu do you go to Longview, TX? I have friends from there.
We didn't get the path done yet.We got all of them dug up and set into the ground with river sand. I have to go wash them off with the hose to let the sand settle and then I have to go out each day and fill in the ones where the sand sunk down under the stone. I think it will take a few days before it is completed but I can already tell it is going to look good.
Happy Easter Girls! Just checking in, after a crazy weekend, from waving off the chocolate, to passing out ham dinners, to being tempted by evil pastries. I lived through another HOliday! Can't wait to see the pictures, in my easter dress. I'm such a ham.
Chris is not well, but we're planning to climb into bed really early tonight,a nd veg. We did too much, as usual. But we're in good spirits. Saw my grandma today. She's so precious to me.
Worrying about the background checks (just to worry about something I guess), and fighting wiht my father. It isn't a hliday without an argument.
But, didn't binge, ate what I wanted, and no more. Exercisd yesterday, so I can take tonight off. Enjoy the couple hours of Sunday. Get geared up for another week.
Good Morning girls!!! I AM BACK AND I AM BLOATED!!!!I over ate the whole weekend. No biggie though. It is life and we over eat sometimes right. I am going to go back to my strict plan at least until I can get to 140 which is where I am pretty comfy. I did walk 5 miles yesterday and we raked the whole fron yard(We have a good sized front yard too.) It was supposed to be crappy all weekend but it turned out to be sunny and beautiful. I hid candy for the kids yesterday(They know there is no easter bunny but they like to find the candy) We ended up eating Easter dinner out on the deck. WE have never been able to do that. I went to Good Will and I found a nice pair of jeans that fit nice so I have a couple of pair until I can lose some more weight.
Kempy - Longview, WA. It's only 'bout 3 hours drive from here.
Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I don't celebrate Easter, but went out for a nice long walk yesterday. Got rained on on the way home
Re: chest pains. SIL took me to the ER when it happened, they couldn't find anything imidiately wrong... X-rays showed something suspicious in my lung. I came home and took x-rays to my PA. She thinks that they are unrelated... chest pains were reflux due to exessive stress and not taking my Rx. Lung thing is just scar tissue. Good news all around. She is getting a second opinion from a specialist this week, just to be sure.
Today is a new beginning for me. New commitment, fresh enthusiasm. BTW - my PA gave me samples to get back on my Paxil, definately helping
I am sooo dragging today. We had a great Saturday where our entire family got together at a local park where we took family portraits. Then some of us went out to eat dinner later that night. After I got home I boiled up some eggs for my boy so he could dye them and my sister and i made some lumpia for Easter Sunday. My throat was a little sore Saturday night but I went to bed without a second thought. When I woke up Sunday morning I dragged myself out of bed early! and went for a morning walk w/my 2 sisters. It drizzled a little but I made it. I took a shower and went back to bed. My son opened his easter basket then my sister made an easter egg hunt for him in the backyard. I stayed in bed from 9 am to 3pm! I was having chills, sweats, headaches, bodyaches, dizziness...the works. I still feel out of it but I've drugged myself up and it seems to be holding the aches at bay. I think I need to go back to bed soon though. I ate 2 pieces of toast w/peanut butter on Sunday then that was it until dinner time, where I had a few bites of salmon. I took another shower and went back to bed. This type of flu or whatever it is is really nasty--it hit my son last week, then my husband is just getting over it, now I'm the lucky one. Anyway, that was my easter.
Angie glad to hear your back and better than ever.
Washu, still thinking good thoughts for you too. Reflux huh? See how fast our bodies get used to clean eating? When we go off plan it comes back to bite us.
Kempy how long is Joe going to be in Denver and what for? Nosy little one aren't I .
Chris, sorry to hear Chris is not feeling too great but it sounds like you had a great easter anyway. Good girl!
Everyone else, hope you all have a good week and I'll check you guys out later.
Noelle, I hope you feel better but look on the bright side....You didn't mess up for Easter. I think Jay had something like that a few weeks ago. He was so sick. Feel better soon girl!!
I walked 5 1/2 miles so far today but I am sure I can drag Jay out again before dark. hehe I have been perfect today so maybe I can get some of the bloat to go down tonight. that would be greatly appreciated.
Okay, I admit, I have broken my own rule!!! I have been a naughty little girl this weekend and it extended into today!! Thats really not the naughty part, I consider the naughty part that I have been here to the board to read but havnt posted at all.
I will be back on track tomorrow. I just got off and started slipping in the old ways, and boy how fast can those come back. I'm hoping I didnt do to much damage the scale this am said up 2 lbs, but that could be from salt (ham yesterday and stuff) but I did have cheesecake too, and well I don't remember half of what I put in this mouth today (blindly eatting) I know there was some chips in there somewhere and real ones at that.
I will be back later, my supper is now done and I am hungry????Don't know whats up, but hope tomorrow is better.
It is amazing how easy it is to go off track huh? I know on Saturday I ate nothing until like 4 and then all **** broke loose and I was stuffing and stuffing for the rest of the night until 11. YIKES!!! It is scary how easy I can lose control like that.
The important thing is that you are getting back on to continue. Good girl Sandy!! From what I can read from everyones journals we aren"t the only ones to go off plan this weekend so at least we aren't alone.
Interesting fact about my jeans I bought.... I was looking for something comfy while I am in between sizes. I looked at the tag today and they were a size 10!!! Holy cow!! I thought I was looking in the 12's. they actually look good too.
I was bad to day with not posting too Sandy. Bad Girl! (talking to myself)
Angie that is awesome about your jeans. It sounds like you are doing much better. I think all you needed was to relax and do whatever you wanted and now you feel renewed.
Washu I have never had reflux but a friend of mine had to have sugury b/c of it so be careful and take care of yourself.
Gee Noelle it sounds like you day was lots of fun. I am so sorry that you had to spend it in bed.
Joe went to Denver to show some poeple they bought software from what all of the numbers meant. He thought he would be ther until Thursday but he finished today at 1:30. He changed his flight home and he got charged an additional $150. Like they didn't charge to much for the flight to begin with. I am just glad he will be back tomorrow.
I got busy at work today looking for a radio station to listen to on my computer at work while I am busy and before I knew it I had wasted a whole day. Boy do I love my job.
I actually came home from work and did Pilates today. I am hoping to get my lazy butt out of bed in the morning to get to workout like I should. Everyone keep me in your thoughts and maybe that will push me.
Can someone tell me how to open a link in someones journal? SaraJoy posted a link to her before and after pics and I can NOT figure out how to get to it. I am numb I know.
Thanks. I had just figured it out...sorta. I had to screw around with it but I got it. She looks great!! I wished I had toned up like she seems to have.
Hello all. OMG SaraJoy is beautiful! She looks a little too skinny if you ask me, nah, that's just envy talking. SHe has a beautiful face and was very pretty when she was heavy and I'm not just saying that. How inspiring to know all these people at 3FC who have succeeded in their quest. Now the real test is keeping it off, right? I am motivated to keep trying each time I see the faces that go with the names of my fellow 3FC sisters.
My wedding pictures are the opposite of hers though--I was a stick when I got married and now I'm a, well, a log? a tree trunk? I'm trying to get with the program though and get back to my slimmer, healthier self.
How's everyone else doing today? We have had so many rainy days here for almost 2 weeks! That's our spring I guess. The only upsides are that the grass and trees and very beautiful and green and I've been fortunate enough to see a rainbow almost every day of my walk--awesome! I'm feeling much better today and I fear that my appetite is getting back to normal after 2 days of almost eating nothing. Now to get rid of the headache.
Anyway, I'm only working a half day today since I have no sitter in the afternoon. I'll check back with you gals later.
BTW Kempy, good going on the Pilates. Did you work out this morning? huh, huh? didya didya? hehe, just making you accountable like you asked
