I am back on the horse again for day 3 today. I need to eat breakfast but ohter than that doing odd.

sorry to hear of all the sick kids. and sick friends too. take it easy and rest all of you. the nice weather is right around the corner so hang in there we donot want to be sick for the sun!!!

Its a New day
 

and I am happy with myself because I managed to get my butt out of bed and to the gym today. I did NOT want to go AT ALL, but hubby wouldn't let me stay in bed. Thank God for his determination.

I'm feeling a little better, but still rather upset with myself for my binge yesterday... But I guess we are allowed a bad day every now and then. I just want that blue ribbon soooo badly!!!! I know I'll have it and more soon... I think I am just way too extrinsically motivated.

I'm feeling good, just really tired.

I'm sorry so many people are sick... hoping you get better real soon!!!

Jenniffer - are you alive?? I hope you are ok... I hope that your sinus thing is better today, since you were noticably absent yesterday.

Sandi - is Jacob ok? What did the doctor say?

nasus - congrats on day three!! I was on a roll until yesterday! So this makes day 1 for me. Argh. But you are right that the nice weather is coming soon.. and I cannot WAIT.

velvet - great news on the EKG, hopefully the other tests will come back just as good!!!

Bella - how did your day round out?

PNG- did you get on the treadmill??

have a great OP day everyone!!

am here..alive and sniffling. Went to the doc on Monday afternoon, and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. Not a shocker at all. Something about them, I keep getting them. I stayed home yesterday and did nothing. The only movement I made was when I was hungry. And for some reason, laying on the couch feeling sorry for myself always makes me hungry. I was so not OP but back on the wagon today.

Feeling a tinsy bit better today, I think I will survive.

Congrats to all who have had a loss since last week, that is wonderful!!

Well I feel much better today. I will be able to get to the gym this afternoon. My water intake yesterday was not good!! All I had to drink was a half glass of juice, and a glass of cool-aid.

Not an once of plain water!

Today will be better. I did stay OP with my food. It has been much easier this week. I feel like I'm eating to much food, but when cals are counted I'm right on track. That has to be good?

Jen, I know how you feel. I don't even have to see the doc any more for my sinus infections. I just call and tell him and he sends in the script. I get them all the time and I get them really bad. Hope you feel better soon!

Sorry I don't have time to address all of you, but I am thinking of you.

I didn't get on the treadmill, but I did get SOME exercise, not much, but better than just vegging out in my chair all night, I guess... had a run in with some choco cake though... hubby likes bringing me comfort food when I'm sick... oh well, feeling somewhat better today...so I'll probably get up and dance like a fool with the kids, if they are feeling good enough to....regardless, I'm doing SOMETHING today...

OK Jennifer shouldn't have a sinus infection anymore because now I have it. I've had a headache for 3 days, you know the kind where you feel like someone has a really tight rubberband around your head and they keep twisting it tighter. But the strangest thing, I put one of those Breathe Right Strips on my nose before bed last night and I swear the headache was gone in ten minutes. I just couldn't bring myself to wear one to work today though.

Hope everyone is feeling better.

Beth Anne glad to see you had a better day.

I'll address each one of you tomorrow when hopefully my heads in better shape.

Carol :dizzy:

WELL...DARN!!! CAN SINUS BUGS GET THROUGH CYBERSPACE? NOW I HAVE IT!! :( I KNOW THAT I'M NEW TO THE 'PUTER WORLD BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT THEY MEANT WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO WATCH OUT FOR VIRUSES!! :lol:

:(

Awww, I got you all sick. Well, am still sniffling, and holding my head, but alot better than what I was. Maybe it was the meds or just taking it REALLY easy the last couple of days. I definatly don't advise you to do what I did on Tuesday, veg on the couch in front of the TV and eat all day. That is putting a little fear in me to weigh in tomorrow morning. But I will face the music like an adult and shed no tears. If there is a gain, I know where it came from. I am hoping just to maintain. I am chugging the water like no other. Does that rhyme?:D

I hope you all feel better..at least were all sick together. :devil:

Have a great day..and please, take the poll about when we should have our get together. Remember, we could always have a few smaller ones for those that are interested and plan something big for next Spring maybe. Just an idea.

Well, I'm feeling significantly less yucky :D will be working on my very own weightloss webpage all day today, probably... btw Beth Anne, your banner looks great :D I keep thinking I wanna change mine, but everyone loves it, so I'll leave it be for now :D Hope everyone is feeling better!

Jenniffer, I won't be on the poll or anything else for the get together, I'm too far away and too poor :cry:


*chanting*

I WILL make it through this day....I will be OP!

Hey, maybe we should consider a 'junket' to Las Vegas! It's easy to find deals out there. Could you meet us there, maybe, PNG? I think I'll post this idea over on the poll thread. Glad you're feeling some better...hubby stopping the comfort food thing? Hope so!

Jennifer, you'll do OK on your weigh-in. I've heard that it's not what you ate this week but what you ate last week that shows on the scales. If that's true, then you have all week to make up for Tues! Good luck.

Chant for me, too, PNG!

I'm back!!!
 

Ok, well it's been quite the week.

Turns out Jacob has a respitory infection. When I went to see the doctor she said "Well, we won't put him in the hospital, we will let you do the treatments at home" HOSPITAL!?!? I brought him in for a cough! Anyway, he is on breathing treatments and steriods for a week. He is reacting very well to the treatments and is doing 100% better. Whew!!

That threw my week into a scenerio of junk food, soda pop and no butt moving. But once again, tomorrow is a new day and I will start my journey once again! :)

We had terrible storms here last night. The hail was 3 inches deep in places. There were trees uprooted, roofs torn off, windows broken. We had one school that had all but 5 of the front windows busted out by hail. We got the cats and settled in the downstairs den to ride it out. We had the tin roof blown off of an outside shed and a large branch broken out of an oak tree close to the house. There were small limbs and leaves everywhere. We were really lucky though it could have been a lot worse. The only problem now is we have the same exact weather forecast for tonight. Tonado watch and severe thunderstorms. Got to go batton down the hatches. Haven't thought about food, but been drinking lots of water.
Everyone have a great Friday.

Carol :)

Well today was an ok day. I have only ate 995 cal. today so I have a few left over for a snack tonight. I have drank about 96oz so far and did my work out at the gym.

The only bad part of the day was the fact that I sneeked a peek at the scales at the gym. It wasn't good. It showed that I had gained about 2lbs since yesterday. That doesn't make sence to me. Other then the fact that I drank a half gallon of water and didn't pee before I got on the scales. I don't know, I haven't cheeted so I hope it's something like that, lol.

Anyway, I hope everything works out for you tonight, Mrs. Big Dawg. We have been having bad storms as well.

Glad everyone is feeling better. It should be over soon, lol.

We had a wild storm last night too, although it seemed to just cause more noise than anything out. Torrential rain, wind, thunder, lightning... I didn't see much damage, but we have a wind advisory for today. I am so glad I do not live in tornado country!!! Although I have seen a tornado live before... that was the most terrifying experience of my life, one I'd rather not repeat.

I'm doing good today, or better anyway... I think I may have managed to fend off the cold I thought I was getting yesterday..

AND, only 7 more hours until I AM ON VACATION!!! I cannot WAIT. Unfortunately though girlies, I will not be around for chat tonight, and I'll be unable to get on the computer from tonight until Tuesday night... so the next time you hear from me will probably be my post to announce that I got that Blue Ribbon at WW!!! I'm GOING To get it this week, I don't care what I have to do to make it happen. I WILL DO IT!!!!

I feel better.. I've been avoiding the scales, but I feel thinner. Who knows, its probably all in my head. I think I look better too!!! But that's just me, so who knows.

Well I need to bang some work out, then I can play once its done :)

Have an AWESOME Weekend if I don't talk to you girlies, I LOVE YOU!!

Oh, Happy Friday, Happy Friday..what a beautiful day! Even though I had some sick time off on Monday and Tuesday, this week seemed to have crawled.
Sitting on my butt and comforting my sinus infection with food definatly had an impact on my weightloss this week. Nothing. Didn't move, but I guess it's a good thing. I am hoping for a loss before Monday, for my "Where do I want to be by next Monday" goal. I will work my butt off this weekend and I may even not indulge in my ritual Coors Lights. :dizzy:
Feeling alot better, but still very congested.

PNG..I was afraid of that. I really want to plan something that we all could do. It's so hard. Maybe next time I go to Cali to see my sis, I could always stop over in Vegas and we can have lunch or something. That would be nice.

Mrs. Big Dawg..Wow. Sounds like you had quite the adventerous evening with all those storms. It's been like that here too at night time, but not that bad. Just some rain and thunder and high winds. It's a beautiful day out this morning despite the high winds so hopefully, it will be a nice weekend.

JacobsMommy..You had good reasons to not be focused on you're needs this week. I hope Jacob is feeling better soon. Stay strong and chug that water this weekend.

bella..You've been doing so wonderful am sure that the 2 lb gain you saw was just all of the water that wasn't flushed out of your system. Keep smiling and do as you've been doing and you're going to see wonderful results.

BA..Vacation! Very cool..are you planning on doing anything fun while you have the time off? Besides earning the ribbon? Have fun!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. See you on Monday!!
