TGIF!!!
Where is everyone today? It's been a pretty good day here so far. It's a hot
one! We are having a poker party tonight so I ran out at lunch to buy some goodies. I tried not to buy a lot of junk - got some fresh fruit and veggies and dip and am going to make a batch of cookies. The guys usually like to order pizza as well. At least if there is any leftover food it won't be too bad because of the fruit. I'll just send the bad stuff home with everyone else.
I'm looking forward to tonight. We do this every month or so with 7 or 8 friends that come over and we eat, drink and play poker most of the night.
I am going to splurge a little tonight, but try not to go overboard and get back to it first thing in the morning. I haven't had a margarita in soooo long. I think I may make one.
I was so happy this morning to have hit my 40 pound mark - now I am working towards 50!!!
Thin - I am so glad you popped back in and gave us and update! I hope you are in a better mood! GOOD JOB on your hard work at Curves!!!
Sandy - Loved the car picture! What else is going on with you?
Tina - oh girl, I don't know what to say, but things have to start looking up for you!!! I hope you are feeling better!!!
Deb - So, it wasn't a good week. No biggie - get yourself feeling better and get back to it. You can do it!!! The past is the past! Start again from here.
2Cute - I imagine you are up to your ears in boxes and chaos right now. I hope the move went well.
Pam/pjk - WOOHOOO!!!! "Weigh" to go!!! Congrats on the loss!
Lori - Wow! Brian is serious about moving out there - apt and job hunting! Good for you both!!! Hope it all works out the way you want it to!
Good job on the running!!! Every now and then I'll jog a little on the treadmill, but I'm not quite ready for that yet. One of these days....
Lola - You are special - we all are! Let's not forget that!!!
It's great to have you here!!! I tried low-carb a couple years ago and it didn't work for me - I lost about 7 pounds and go tired of it and gave up. Back in Feb. I decided it was time for me not to just diet, but to make a change in my lifestyle! I am now living healthy. I am eating a balanced diet, exercising often and drinking lots of water!!! I spent so many years on this diet or that --- I finally just had to figure out what worked for me. I have discovered that counting calories and keeping a journal of everything I eat, drink and all my exercise helps me out. I also weigh myself once a week (well maybe more, but I only count Fri. morning as my official weight). I take my measurements once a month. I have lost 40 pounds by doing this. I am taking it slow - trying to lose 1-2 pounds a week. I still have fun. Last weekend we were out of town for 3 days. I ate what I wanted, just did so in moderation!!! I usually graze --- eating 3 small meals and snacking a few times during the day! This is a plan I can stick to for the rest of my life. Just take some time a figure out what works for you. You have to make it as much fun as possible. Hanging out here with all these wonderful people helps me as well! (sorry to ramble so much)
Homebound - Glad I am not the only one with a crazy dog. Actually 3 crazy ones!
2Big - Welcome again!! I am 33 years old, married for 9 years, we have 3 dogs, live just south of Philadelphia, PA, no children - yet! Love to travel --- can't wait for our cruise in October!
Looking forward to seeing you around here.
Terri - We went through the same thing with the Re-fi. I am always the one trying to get everything together and hubby is so unorganized that it was a nightmare. Last time he wanted to do something I told him fine - as long as he does it ALL. And, I recall having the same packing/moving problem as you and 2cute! MEN!!!
Andria - Gosh - your eating is out of control with all those healthy veggies!!!!
Good job staying away from the junk. I wish I liked more veggies - I eat a lot of carrots and green beans.
Natalie - I hope you are having a nice afternoon out by the pool. It's a great day for it!! I am so jealous!!!
Well, I am going to do a little more work and then call it a day and start preparing things for tonight!!! I'll talk to you all later!!!
