#154 Taking Control
 
Happy Happy Friday!!!!!

We survived yet another week. Any exciting plans for the weekend?

I have a few parties, and we all know what that means. But I will do my best to stay in control. Only I can control what goes in my mouth.

Hope you all have a nice weekend.

weekend plans
 
Happy Friday!

Weekends plans-we're driving down to Cape May, NJ tomorrow (about 2 and a half hours away) We're taking our son to the zoo, going to lunch, walking the boardwalk, etc. I'm also going to do some shopping :) I love the gift stores with lace/Victorian type things :)

I don't know what we're doing on Mother's Day. I'll be surprised (I hope). Just spending the day with my husband and son will be great-I don't care what we do.

I've been not in control of eating AT ALL. Trying again starting Monday. Last I looked, I'd lost eight pounds out of the ten "lose by Mother's Day.' I'd be thrilled by that, if I didn't KNOW that I'm sure I gained back some of it. I'm totally staying off the scale until I'm back on program for two weeks. I just don't want to get all upset and sabotage myself.

Take care,
Sherry

Whoooohooooo FRIDAY! NO kids this weekend, not even my own, and hubby will be working tonight, so I don't have to feel guilty about hanging out with you girlies (and guys!) in chat tonight :) I haven't journaled yet, nor done my foods or workout, but that will come later, gotta give up the puter to the hubby-man for now :D

Jen 05-10-2002 01:51 PM

What time is chat? I might actually be able to make it tonight?

Jenniffer 05-10-2002 02:58 PM

Derby!!! Sounds like you had a fabulous time in Las Vegas. I am so glad, you deserved some time enjoying yourself. So, the plane ride was a bit more comfy? That is so awseome. You must have been smiling all the way there. :dizzy: October is coming up quickly. How's everything coming along? How you feeling?

Jiffypop..I agree, sometimes listening helps alot more than talking.

gbo..You had a wonderful post..that touched my heart. I hope everyone gets a chance to read it. You've come a long way sweetie.

Velvet..Where are ya chickie?

PNG..Can you send me some of you're dedication to working out?

doitforme..How you doing?

icewoman..You sound like you got alot going on. Glad you saw the doc, and he's going to help you. I am thinking about you.

bella..tanning beds can be so relaxing. I know all too well how hurtful some places can get. heehe Though am white as a ghost right now. Gota do something about that.

Suzie..Fun weekend planned! I love the boardwalk. Enjoy!!

doitforme 05-10-2002 03:13 PM

Hi there!
 
I been busy cleaning the celler today and the back porch a bunch of empty boxes and junk that needed to be tossed. I don't know where it all comes from. I set a new goal 275 by 7/4/02 I am currently 289 this am, I missed my last goal by 4 pounds but that is o.k. I have lost 56 total now since 1/2/02 so I am happy with how I am doing. I hsave a bowling banquet tonight, so back on track tom. Tonights my freebie, to celebrate the end of one goal and starting another. Sounds like an excuse to me. Then home for the weekend to see my parents, really enjoy spending time with them. gbo- I read your post, you have down an awesome job, congratulations ! Hope everyone else has a great weekend, and all the mommies a great mother's day.

bella23 05-10-2002 08:55 PM

OK, I'm feeling better, well still a little sore in those unseen places. (LOL)

The only workout i got today was pulling weeds. Not to bad, But I have more to do.

I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. No kids, it should be fun!!

I was mostly op today. I just didn't drink enough water. Other then that I did pretty good.

Hope everyone else is doing good. I'll see you at chat tonight.

gbo 05-10-2002 11:41 PM

Darlins this will surely be my last chance to post for at least a week as I have so much to do and family arrives on Tuesday. Hubby leaves late Sunday night and will be back just in time to take my Sister back to the airport. This will most probably the end of my hectic time. As far as I know anyway..... after Hubby comes back it will be time to open the pool. Summer is here in full force! 90's all the time. Iy will be a long hot summer but great for swimming. Now that is exercise!!!!!!!!!

I haven't posted in this thread before... so here it goes. I have been doing weight watchers since about.... 3/5 and I really enjoy the program. I just ate a lot of food tonight... somehow I always manage to go over in points.. I guess it goes to say that you have to plan you meals... for in my life... I didn't plan to fail.. I failed to plan... so starting tommorrow its a brand new day... I want to do this program right and for the last time.. so I can become the person I know I can be!!!

Good mornin to all :) Well I was a couple hundred cals out of my range last night...blah....must do better today :D I'm totally jazzed, I couldn't resist an early peek at the scales today, and lets just say I had a BIG loss... won't say how big until Monday, when I hop on again to make it official... I guess some of that must have been water hangin around from TOM... Can't decide if I want to workout or have an off day today.... hubby's second vacation starts today at 4, home until the 22nd whoohoo, we're probably going to spend that time rooting through the entire house, poor guy, goes on vacation to clean... :D I am totally flighty right now, just woke up, slept in til 8:30, whoohoo!

bella23 05-11-2002 08:22 PM

Well today was a good day. I ate a little more cals then supposed to , but not that many more. I also mowed the back yard (about 1/2 acre)

I got my hair highlighted and eye brows waxed. Then my m-i-l got me a mothers day gift. That was very nice of her. I then got a free dinner from a friends rest. It was great.

Hope everyone has a great mothers day tomorrow. I had a great one today.

Talk to you all later,
Bella23

velvet 05-11-2002 09:07 PM

I'm doing good. I haven't eaten enough in the last 3 days, but, I've been banking those cals for tomorrow. Taking Mom to a really nice restaurant and I plan to eat!

Tammy...welcome and come back often and keep posting...it REALLY helps.

PNG...GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR AND GET YOURSELF BACK IN THE GOOD WOE YOU'VE STARTED!! Your happy 'peek' at the scales is gonna turn real ugly! :lol:

Tamara, it was fun to IM with you today. HEY YOU GUYS...YOU SHOULD SEE TAMARA'S BABY!!! SHE'S GORGEOUS!!! And her little boy is adorable, too. Webcams are cool. Hope things at home are getting better.

Bella, OUCH...hope things are 'cooling' off a bit! ~~ You're really doing a great job. Keep it up. Did you notice how 'chattily challenged' I am the chatroom last nite? I could not keep up!! Guess I'll just have to keep trying!

Jennifer, you're a sweetie! If I've said that before, just ignore me...but you are.

Hi to everybody else...I've got to get off this thing! More later.

Love, Gayle

PNG 2 05-11-2002 09:56 PM

Bleah, hehe, I think we've gone back to the old plan for off days and whatnot, but, to make up for it, I'm working out today, even though it's "free" guess we just can't take going 2 weeks in between... I walked today, to get hubby from work, since I wasn't working myself, and I'm goind to do my crunches and stuff, and in a couple weeks, we're buying a mountain bike, whoohoo :) SO, now if we could just decide on our plan, maybe I could stay on mine :D

velvet 05-12-2002 02:50 PM

PNG! Good girl! You workout today and keep on being good!

Love ya, Gayle :D

PNG 2 05-13-2002 02:02 AM

worked out yesterday and today, food wasn't horrible, but wasn't good either, bad choices, but it WAS a birthday party, I did have the very smallest piece of cake, about 2 bites, we got a small cake so ALL the pieces were small, heh, mine was miniscule :D packed away some chips, dip and salsa tho, but didn't eat lunch, and a VERY small dinner, so I'm sure I broke just barely above max, I can't even begin to log it...lol

O well, I weighed myself after eating everything tonight, and my gallon of water, and I was only a little above where I was when I said I had a loss, so hopefully tomorrow I'll have it burned away enough to not have the scales show it anymore, I've had super intense workouts, toning yetserday, and toning/cardio today, don't know when I'll take a break, but my body isn't screaming for mercy yet :lol:

jiffypop 05-13-2002 08:21 AM

just a quick note for now... will try more later.

but, i really like these TAKING CONTROL threads...

maybe we could start a new one each day, like we all have a new beginning every day????

just a thought..

have a great day, ya'll

Jenniffer 05-13-2002 08:59 AM

Goodmorning..a rainy, dark and cold Monday morning here in New York. It was a nice weekend, but of course always too short. Feels like I just walked out of my office 5 minutes ago, and here I am again. But that's a good thing. Well, a good thing for my waist. :dizzy:
Wasn't too bad this weekend, food wise. I was very busy with parties and celebrations, so considering all, I was pretty good.

My sore neck/shoulder is finally better. It's a tinsy bit sore if I turn it the wrong way, but nothing compared to last week. I had my "friend" massage it for me over the weekend. He's so sweet, and made it feel allllll better. :D

Doitforme..Sound like you got lots of cleaning done this weekend. I love weekends that are actually productive. You're doing wonderful, setting goals seems to be really working for you. How was you're weekend with your parents?

Bella...Let me tell you. Pulling weeds is exercise to me. It's a workout! How was you're weekend?

GBO...Hope you're enjoying the time with your family this week. See you soon.

Losing4ME..WELCOME!!!! Glad you joined us. Congrats on you're loss! That is wonderful!!

PNG..I hope the loss stays lost! You're doing awseome with your workouts!

Velvet.. How was you're lunch with you're Mother? Hope you enjoyed yourself

Jiffy.. Great idea! Every day is a new day.


Let's all have an awseome OP Monday!

PNG 2 05-13-2002 09:56 AM

Whoohoo! 10 pounds and 6.25 inches down! I feel like I just got an award or something :D weekend was good, had one day all to myself, one night all to hubby, and then yesterday, OMG I never want to spend that much time with family ever again, I LOVE Johnny's family to death, but yesterday was just....tooo....muuuuuuuuch!

I'm way not awake, someone remind me later to do individuals? :lol:

bella23 05-13-2002 10:12 AM

Well yesterday was a flop. I went WAY above my cal limit. I NEEDED the comfort foods. I spent most of the evening to early morning in the ER. Kimberly, my oldest, fell and split her head open. She needed 3 staples. What a night.

But I can't say that was the only time i cheeted on my diet!! The whole day was a flop. O'well. I'm back on the ban waggon today. The one thing I'm not going to be able to do, is going to the gym. My daughter can't wash her hair untill Wed. so I don't want to take her with bloody hair. And I don't want her to play with the other kids and re-split it. So I'll try to find time to do a workout video.

I am going to try to get to the gym and have them measure me and get weighed. I'll probably do that tomorrow.

Saturday was a good day. I got my hair done and my eyebrows waxed. It was good.

Hope all the mothers and had a great mothers day!!

Talk to you all later,
Bella23

doitforme 05-13-2002 12:13 PM

Happy Rainy Day all!
 
My weekend was great, went out to dinner with mom/dad, niece and nephews, then was bad and had hot fudge sundae afterwards. I had already gone out to dinner on Friday night and not been good. So I skipped weigh in this morning and will wait a couple days, so I at least am where I was before I went home.
PNG2- CONGRADULATIONS ON THE 10 LBS AND ALL THOSE INCHES, WAY TO GO!
Bella- sorry to hear about your daughter, Jennifer, hope your neck and shoulder are feeling better. Velvet how was dinner with mom, Hope you all had an awesome weekend. :wave:

icewoman 05-13-2002 01:02 PM

Hello all

I just wanted to let everyone know I am doing good. Last night my husband and I got to go out for a special supper and he got me 6 roses and a rose bowl with a rose in it for mothers day. Also got a precious moments figurine that I collect. He was soooooo sweet. Yesterday was also my girls baptisms. That was the best mothers day gift I could ever get. Food wise was OK. Should have gotten alittle exercise though. This new medicine I am on makes me very thirsty so I am drinking 2-3 32 oz containers of water right now. I think that is getting easier even running to the bathroom all the time.

velvet--it was also nice talking to you online the other day.

Jenniffer glad to hear your soar sholder is getting better.

Bella23--Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she is OK.

PNG 2--Congrats on the weight lose and the inches. I have never measured myself but I know I have lost inches because I went down 2 dress/pant sizes from a 28 to a 24. I know how happy I felt so I know how excited you are.

Tammy--welcome hope you can find the insparation that I have found here.

Jen 05-13-2002 07:43 PM

Hi everyone. Just a quick post as I have to get Drake into the bath and into bed. I have to get BA to shrink this picture I took this morning of him doing his 'fish lips', what a ham!

Had a .2 gain this am at WW. I am a bit upset by it but it is not totally unexpected. I did terribly last week with my H20 intake and some unneeded snacking. Oh well, I'm going to do better this week.

Jenniffer - I got that shoulder/neck thing too! How did you manage to do that through the computer?!? lol I think mine is from lifting and carrying Drake so much. He's getting so big!

bella - sorry to hear about your daughter's accident, hope she is better.

take care all.

PNG 2 05-14-2002 11:59 AM

Getting fully back on track today, starting off ok, cept of course there was a can of soda in the fridge, so I just HAD to have it, I marked myself down for the whole thing in my fitday, but now that I started it, I think I'll give it to either hubby or kiddie...lol

Well, I chatted with Beth Anne for a little bit this morning, and wanted to let you all know that she is sick, couldn't stay on long enough to post, but she did read, and I promised I'd let you all know why she's not around today.... I ordered her to lay around and do nothing but get better :D

well, I'm off for a while myself, gonna give the old puter a break, go throw the kids around for a while... hmm, how would I log that on my exercise log? Weight lifting? Aerobics? lol

Jenniffer 05-14-2002 12:40 PM

Hi everyone. How are you? I am doing pretty good. OP and feeling alot better. Working right now, wondering where they are going to hit next with the lay offs. Pretty scary. Talking about 10% of employees, but they shouldn't come near me. Let's hope not anyways.

PNG..I am so amazed with you're loss this week. That is amazing and if anything that should inspire us all to get off our booties and move em. How'd you handle the soda?

bella..:( I am so sorry to hear about your daughter Kimberly. How is she feeling? I hope much better. No wonder why you got off track. One of your babies was hurting. How are you doing now?

doitoforme..Sundaes! Love em! How are you doing now?

icewoman..Oh am so happy to hear you and hubby had a nice time. And it was the baptism, how exciting.

jen..My doctor told me it was from various things, typing for 8 hrs a day with ac blowing down on me, sleeping on my side, and of course stress. How's yours doing?

BA..Hope you feel better soon!!! Take it easy!

bella23 05-14-2002 02:59 PM

Thank all of you for your support. I am finely back OP today. I needed it!

My daughter is amazing!! Yesterday she acted like nothing happened. She needed no meds, and played like there was no tomorrow. I sure do love her!!!

I'm doing ok. Kinda nerve racked over they way she is playing (lol) but I'll be fine.

I went to the gym long enough to get weighed and measured. The measurments that the the trainer did are different then mine but by her account i either stayed the same or lost. So that was good. And since they only record my weight once a month, it looks like I lost, lol.

I didn't know if anyone would be interested but I found this great web site for anyone who needs help getting their house organized. It's www.flylady.net. It's great. I intend to incorperate my diet in with the routine as well. I am a horrible house keeper and I need all the help in that area that I can get.

I plan to plant a tree today and try to get some kind of movement in and I am really trying to work on my water!!

I'll check in tomorrow before I leave for my trip.

Talk to you all later,
Bella23

PNG 2 05-14-2002 04:26 PM

Jennifer, you make me blush :D hehe, I gave the soda to the kid, well, she drank 2 drinks then stirred cereal into it, so I dumped it :lol: Hoping I can keep up with the loss come next monday. Oi, I'd be sweating bullets if I had to worry about my job like that...

Bella: I know how kids are, a few years back, my oldest bit the front inch of her tongue almost off, had a little piece on either side holding it on, had to have it stitched together, and within a day or so, the only time it seemed to bother her was when she ate... that wasn't a very good Mothers day though, geesh! Another good place for organizatioin and for stretching dollars is www.frugalitynetwork.com you can learn all kinds of neat tricks there...

Well, now I'm feeling under, the kids I watch are sick, AGAIN, been cleaining up their bodily functions for the last hour or so, bleah... and my belly isn't doing too good :( maybe I'll cheap out and have some toast and tea for dinner...

doitforme 05-14-2002 10:53 PM

Hi there!
 
I didn't have a good day eating wise, I did get to curves this morning to work out, but went out for lunch and ate chicken fingers and onion rings for dinner. Mom, did very well through the surgery, so hopefully I can plan better meals tom. Like maybe salad bar instead. But just pleased that she is doing good. Png- sorry to hear your tummy is upset, but cleaning bodily function messes can definitely do that. Bella- glad to hear your daughter is better. Jen- The sundae was good, hopefully tom I can be better with eating then today. Just happy to have mom come through the surgey o.k. Hope everyone has good day tom. I have a class at work, then I'll go to the hospital to spend the evening.

Jenniffer 05-15-2002 09:32 AM

Goodmorning everyone. Happy Hump Day. This weeks to be flying by, which as always, is a VERY good thing. No word on my office being effected by the lay-offs. I was actually told about a position opening, supporting a VP. I would be estatic if I was able to land it. They looked over my resume and seem interested. Because it's an internal "move", they have to speak to my manager and then I'll see what happens. Cross your fingers for me. :)

Bella..So glad to hear your daughter is doing much better. Isn't it amazing how well children bounce back? Too bad we didn't. Any special reason why our planting a tree? I've always wanted to do that. When are you leaving for the trip? Are you excited?

PNG..Stirred cereal into it?!?!?!? :dizzy:

doitforme..I bet your relieved that your Mom is doing well. I know, any kind of surgery is scary.

BA99TJ 05-15-2002 09:40 AM

Hi All,
I'm alive... but barely. It's amazing how these things knock you out. You feel like death and then about an hour later you feel a little better, but if you do too much, you go right back to feeling worse than you did originally!! Hubby and I are both home today hacking and sneezing and trying to avoid swallowing. I have no idea what I've caught, but this is the sickest I've felt since I had my adenoids out almost a year ago. I was hoping to go a year without a sinus infection, but I didn't quite make it. But hey, only 1 this year is definately eons better than the 2-3 I was having a month before!! I think we are both knocked out by colds and allergies... we seem to "break" our fevers at opposite times which makes life interesting... he's in the middle of a sweat fest and I'm in the middle of major chills, and vice versa. Thank goodness for tylenol cold and flu... too bad it only seems to work for 2 hours instead of the 4 it says!!!

I did lose yesterday, so that was good. Of course I am not OP right now since I'm just eating whatever I can manage to get down my throat!! Which hasn't been very much, but has been things like mac and cheese, stove top, soup, etc in very small portions.

Well I hope you all are doing better than me, hopefully you can avoid my cyber germs!!!!

PNG 2 05-15-2002 01:08 PM

Well, I'm officially sick with whatever this stomach bug is that these kids have, luckily, Ravyn and Johnny don't seem to get it when they make me sick, maybe because I'm working closely with them... belly is icccccccckkkky! eating dry cereal to try to get some food in without making myself sicker. My Mom's heart cath is today, so fo course she had to call and give me the timeline, and all the things that COULD go wrong, so now I'm on pins, needles, and railroad spikes until 3, which is when she's supposed to call me....


doitforme, I'm so glad everything went well with the surgery

Jenniffer, good luck with the job... and yes, stirred cereal in it... ick! If she has anything in an open glass, and also has a spoon handy, she feels the need to stir, well, the only spoon she had was from her cereal bowl...

Beth Anne, pooor pooor you, but at least you have someone to be miserable with... hope you and hubby both feel better soon!

doitforme 05-15-2002 10:45 PM

Hi guys!
 
I had a much better day food wise, actually I think I was on target. I had a mandatory training class, then went to the hospital to see mom. She is running a temp, maybe just from inflammation from surgery, they are unsure at this point. But still doing well, I pray that, png 2, Bella, bethanne and hubby all feel much better soon, being sick is a drag. Png also pray all goes well with your mom's test.Jennifer good luck on your job transfer, hope you get it. I'm off work tom. but will be at the hospital all day, gotta go work out in the morning though. Hope all have a great day!

BA99TJ 05-15-2002 11:02 PM

The bad news is... I still feel HORRIBLE!!! I hope I can at least make it in to work for a little while tomorrow... Whatever this thing is, its killin me.

The good news is, WE GOT THE APARTMENT!!!! HOORAY!!!!

doitforme 05-16-2002 07:38 AM

Good for you!
 
I am happy to hear you got the apt. Hope yoursoon feeling much better as well.Have a great day everyone.

BA99TJ 05-16-2002 09:46 AM

Good Mornin Ladies and Gents..

Hey PoetsDawn, where you been hidin?

Well I'm at work today, although that's about all I can say for myself. The fever is gone though, so that is a huge huge huge relief. 2 days of fever is 2 days too many in my opinion!

I am mostly feeling relieved today, that we did get that apartment. I was really starting to get nervous. Now, at least, we can give our landlord 30 days notice, and Hopefully he'll give us some of the rent back, since we're paid through the end of June, but moving out June 15th.

:)
have a good day girls...

PNG 2 05-16-2002 10:24 AM

Beth Anne, I'm SO glad you got your place! Hope everything goes smoothly with the move, hug the pup for me :) I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better too, I'm forcing myself to be better, couldn't stand just being sick and doing nothing anymore, so, I pulled myself together last night, got off the ole couch, and worked my booty :D
I think Steven may be having a bit of puter burnout again, he's not been around all that much, and when he is, it's when I'VE not been around, lol, been away from the puter a lot, spending time with hubby, and dealing with the kiddies :)

My mom's cath went well, she called me when they let her go home, the doctor that did it said the same thing I said in the first place, if there was some question that the pain could possibly be coming from her stomach, they should have done an upper and lower GI, because there is no blockages, and except for her CHF, which is no small thing, but not nearly bad enough for what she's been going through, her heart is healthy.


Well I'm feeling extremely dedicated again, now that I got past my poor me crying and whining...hehe ( I gotta whine a LITTLE bit when I feel icky...) and I should be fully back on track today :)

Jenniffer 05-16-2002 11:49 AM

I have one question...

Where is everyone?

Don't make me send the hounds out! lol I miss ya all and need ya like the desert needs the rain...isn't that a song or something :)

I am doing pretty good, not perfect but good. Which am thankful for. It's a beautiful day here which always helps everyones attitudes.
No word on the new position..but as I have learned, patience pays off.

PNG..Everyone seems to be getting sick, hope your feeling better soon. Glad Mom is doing well.

doitforme..Being on target feels too good, doesn't it? Keep up the good work.

BA..Congrats on the apartment and your loss, though you've been ill, your having a good week.

icewoman 05-16-2002 01:02 PM

Hello all,

I am here. The last couple days have been good. Just a few problems that I don't know what to do about. I have been feeling pretty good since the doctor put me on the anti-depressant. But at times I feel really goofy and very talkative which I have never been before. I will be rambling on and not getting any work done. Then I will realize what I am doing and get back to work. My husband wants me to get off the medicine as soon as I can. He doesn't like the side effect it causes in the bedroom. It is really embarassing for me to say that. Has anyone had this problem also??? I know it can be frustrating for him but I hope he understands but it is frustating for me also. I hope it's OK to say this here your all friends. :)

PNG congrats on the weight lose 10 pounds wow!!! Sorry to hear you are not feeling well.

BA99TJ--Congrats on the apartment.

Well I must get back to work here. Take care all and I can see the pounds drifting away from everyone.

:lol:

Sandi 05-16-2002 01:14 PM

Hello All!!!

Sorry Jennifer - been slacking off. Lots of reading...little posting.

Things here are going pretty well. I seem to be doing much better. Been doing really good with my water and exercise, food is average.

Spent some time in the garden last night weeding and planting. I just love spring. I'm not looking forward to spending all my summer watering my pretties, but it's worth it.

I am looking forward to a pampered Saturday. MIL is taking Jacob for the day and I have a pedicure scheduled and I am going to spend the rest of the day working on this adorable cross-stitch for Jacob's 1st haircut. Soooo cute.

BethAnne & PNG - Glad your feeling better

Bella - Glad Kimberly is feeling better

No time for all individual responses.

Love Ya!!

Mrs. Big Dawg 05-16-2002 06:32 PM

Hi all. Sorry I've not been around. My daughter was in a bad accident last Thursday on her way home for the summer. A lady came over into her lane, hit her, she slid across both lanes of traffic and took out a light pole. Thank God for seatbelts and airbags. She had some burns form the airbag, bruises, and some cuts from the shattered windshield. But nothing was broken. She was very lucky. It probably added about 10 years to my life.
Her walking away from that was the best Mother's Day present I could have gotten.
I also had some dental work done. I was in the chair 3 1/2 hours except to go to the bathroom. My jaw has been sore for several days and I can't chew on my left side. This has made dieting really easy.
I have doing real well with low-carb. I have also been drinking loads of water. Actually water is the only thing I have drunk since April 21. Not even a diet soft drink. I've also lost 9 more pounds so I'm at 292 now. That's 40 lbs. gone. 10 more and I get a reward.
Hope everyone has a great Friday. I think I can make it to chat tomorrow night.

Well, the dinner is over and they all seem to have appreciated all the work I put in decorating the hats. The tables were quite beautiful with a lot of pastel tulle puddled down the center of the tables and 2 hat tableaux on each table. We also used several of those collectible mini shoes and handbags, a mini dress form, 2 mini resin dresses, lace parasols, white gloves and tons of pearls. There were a few other things, but I won't bore you any longer! It was fun...kinda like playing 'dress-up'!

It's a good thing the decorating went well, cause the food surely hasn't! I've eaten fast food 3 times this week and homemade pizza twice!! :ink: :T :nono: :eek: Time to get the HUGE rear in gear!!

BA, I'm soooo happy about the apt. Hope you and dh are completely well soon. This is a heck of a way to lose weight! (There are better ways...I promise!)

Carol, I also say 'thank God for seatbelts and airbags;! That would have been terrifying! I can't even imagine! [size=huge]CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER 9 LBS.!!![/SIZE] You are doing an excellent job! Are you still doing Body Flex? How do you like the results?

Sue, I'm diligently praying for you and your mom. Good job on being back on plan. You're also doing a great job.

Sandi, ooooo good for you...pedicure! I'd sure love to see your garden!! Maybe Mom and I will have to take a day trip to IN sometime! How is that adorable little Jacob?

Bella, I'm also happy to hear that Kimberly is doing so well. Hope you are feeling well. Check in soon and let us know how everything is going.

Jennifer, I'm still around also! I hadn't even read your post when I popped in on you to say Hi! I think you're better than 'pretty good'! :wink:

Tamara, I'd hate to see you stop your meds. I know how much they can help depression...first hand!! Have you talked to the doc about the bedroom problems? I know that that can be one of the side effects. I'm not 'active' that way so I don't know if I'm affected or not! :lol:

PNG...what can I say!!! You are doing an awesome job, girlie!

Hey...this is really getting long! If I lose another post, I'll...I don't know...so I'll finish later!
