So I already wrote this whole big thread for this and then 3FC had some kind of data base error. So I'll just go through the highlights.
+I drank too much Saturday with my brother.
+My brother is a crunkmaster rockstar and is older than me and out parties me any day of the weeks. It's ridiculous
+I don't know how either of us made it to his birthday lunch, but I was in much better shape and he kept saying he wished the world would disappear because it was the worst hangover ever
+My scale said 183.5 Saturday morning which I think was a fluke
+Today the scale said 187.2 because it hates me
+TOM also started for me on Saturday
+I didn't want to come to work today, but did anyway. I don't believe in getting sick but right now my sinuses hate me and want me to die.
+Last night when I woke up from my "nap" the sky was green. For those of you that live in the south/tornado alley know that means tornado weather
+Apparently there were tornadoes much closer to my house than was reported by the news originally. You can see pics here http://www.wral.com/weather/image_gallery/7484305/ Most of these are within a 10 mile radius of my house
Not gonna do personals from the weekend right now but CONGRATS to Jazz Jess on her 5k!
Also Sam - I used to have chronic UTIs because I refused to use the bathrooms at my high school so I would hold it all day. It makes you feel like you have to tinkle constantly but when you try you can't. Best OTC thing you can do is go get Azo from the pharmacy section of pretty much anywhere. Take that and drink LOTS of water/cranberry juice. You want to flush your system out. I would say if you think you have a UTI and you're taking the azo and it doesn't clear up in a week you need to go see the doctor.
Good Morning weekend was way too short I had an un eventful weekend for the most part we had a street festival all day saturday, so tired sunday pretty much ran errands and did a little goodwill shopping. My gfs did book our motel for our girls vaca in 3 weeks so i really have to buckle down and get ready for a swimsuit the 3 girls im going with are disgustingly fit LOL
Hello ladies Still didn't write my paper. Ugh. And the scale is only at 174.6. It was 174.8 Friday/Saturday, but I guess eating 1500 calories a day will do that. Boo hiss to water retention.
Its a new week.
We had wicked thunder last night and it kept waking me up, so no gym this morning. I have the stuff to go after work, but I think I'm going to sleep in my gym stuff tonight - and I realized there's no need to set the alarm for 5 since I work so close to home. I can go to the gym at 6 and have an hour work out and still get to work on time, so I think I'm going to try that tomorrow.
Feral - Glad you had an action packed weekend. Glad you survived the storms! I was anticipting much more in the way of rain than we got. My poor minis were stuck in most of the day because of my rain fears. Tyke's coat is too thick to get wet...he'll catch a chill. I'm praying for some consistent 70 degree weather to bathe and body clip the little Yak.
Lissa - CONGRATS! So excited over your loss. I am holding at 166...glad that it was for realz, but frustrated to be stuck here.

This weekend revolved around a twice-yearly auction for farm equipment/vehicles. Our previous tractor (traded up for something with a cab) was going, so we wanted to see how much they got for it (less than they gave us! haha). We also wanted to try to pick up a zero turn, but people were crazy. We spent the entire day and only bought 5 liriope...literally the first thing auctioned! haha A whole $11! Big spenders...
The auction is near-ish to Solomons, which is home to the last Roy Rogers in our region. OMG do I miss my La Plata Roy's. I am a fool for a Roast Beef sandwich. It was tough to make good choices being on the go, but I stayed clear of fried things and maintained the entire weekend. We were also on our feet non-stop, so that helped wear off the few "bad" things that snuck in.
I AM LOVING MY BLACKBERRY! Where has this thing been all my life!? haha Haley was right, this thing is fantastic! I'm having to fight the urge to be one of those 200+ a day status posters...I can't stand those people, so becoming one wouldn't be cool. We used it for price comparisons at the auction and to check out weather on the go. Thing has paid for itself already.
I also made some Soap Fried Rice last night. lol Wow...tasty stuff, ladies! Next time, I think I'll test it out in the rice cooker...my brown rice wasn't as tender as I would have liked. I'm thinking I can add the broth and cubes (after boiling) and steam my veggies on top, following the instructions for the rest. Even the hubby loved it!
Big week for me...the horses come home Friday!!! We will never board again! We're wrapping up the final touches on their stalls and need to get our electric up for the fence. Toy loves minis, so I need to get a barrier up before he leans my fence into the ground. My stall buddy, Gracie Lou, was back with me this morning. We took a "ride" yesterday on Trouble's tail, so I thought she might be too afraid to come back in. She also got a mouse yesterday, which was tragic, but I'm glad she's doing her job well as my mouser. The girls are much better than the boys.
Lauren you're ridiculous... I hate that place... Roy Rogers is eww... for some reason I thought there was one over the bridge in VA..somewhere...like Colonial Beach area... anywhooo... people love their Roy Rogers... I rarely update my status but yes I hate the constant updaters
Stella- yes getting an extra hour of sleep would be awesome ... I didnt get any thunder last night... I'm jealous
Feral- I watched a tornado go through my backyard one time...I'm nuts lol
I had a fabulous weekend...the boyfriend met my friends and I also met his family...busy busy busy and very nerve racking... We went out with my friends in Alexandria and had some amazing thai food went out for a few drinks then headed back to baltimore..however he decided he wanted to go out ( he like NEVER drinks) um he was wasted and I brought him home and I was embarassed because I thought his mom would be upset but she wasnt... she laughed at him...
Celebrated my Grandpas 75th birthday yesterday and had a really good time...I'm the jerk who brought her own food (subway)
I'm sorry, Haley, but we can't be friends anymore! lol Roy's is a personal choice, so I'll forgive you. ;D I heard something about one in Ashland (on the way to Richmond). If this is the case, I will no longer begrudge the hubby from going to Bass Pro Shops (also in Ashland).
Stella - I am jealous of your proximity to gym/work. I wish I had more time to do that sorta thing. Starting next Monday, I'm getting up a 5AM, to compensate for two additional stalls. I am hoping that I will also have some extra time that way...I currently run around like a hummingbird in the mornings to get it all done.
Lauren - hehe, run around like a hummingbird Love it. Yeah, between home and work is really only 25 minutes (depending on traffic) and the gym is in between. I could even get ready there if I wanted. I also love Roy Rogers, there's one in Gaithersburg/Germantown very close to me, but I've only eaten there once since I've moved here (and I was sick).
Haley - I'm glad all of that went well And yeah, RR can be gross, but I do love it.
Morning ladies. I've been MIA for a while due to travel for work (and my diet and exercise habits were not maintained). UGH- getting back into the saddle this week. No time for personals this morning but wanted to say hello!
Lissa - congrats on the loss!!!! Don't be so negative. If you're on a roll then keep going with it, regardless of whether hubby is home or not. I know it's hard, especially during times of stress, but continue to make good choices and believe in yourself.
Skinny - YAY vacations!!!!!!
Stella - I have a hard time sleeping during thunderstorms too if I wake up in the middle of one. I always hated that.
Haley - the mom is Russian too of course she isn't going to be mad at you!
Lauren - welcome to the world of the crackberry/pda phenom. People don't understand it until they have one. Unfortunately I probably update my fb status entirely too much. Yay for having your babies back!!!!! I'm sure they won't be mad at you for having them boarded since they get to come back to new stalls.
I have never even heard of Roy Rogers so I'm just goign to assume I'm not missing out on anything.
UGH. what a fricken morning! I got up at 6:15 and went to the gym because I have to work 4-10 tonight and I have no time in between. I get to my 10:00 class, the professor isn't even there. Some grad assistant was there and proctored some test from ETS..It was literally the SAT/GRE's all over again except shorter and useless. I guess they were testing how useful our gen-ed's were for the past 4 years..but it was so pointless! I'm absolutely brain dead now.
But luckily my 1:00 class with the same professor is cancelled. She posted that email RIGHT when my 10 ended. So all I have is my 2:00. But at least that gives me more time to study for my quiz on wednesday and to start getting ready for my finals next week.
Scale was at 144.6. I was BAD on friday and saturday, but I was good yesterday. Got back on track yesterday, bought lots of healthy foods, and I will not be going off track anymore! It makes my tummy feel crappy and I don't want that!! TOM also came yesterday so I'm sure that's another cause for the gain.
My fraternity had our senior send off on saturday. I got my honor cords from them...but the "party" it's self was such a let down. All of us graduating are going to have our own little party this friday. One last hoorah before finals.
Jess- Awesome job with the 5K! Congrats!!
Feral- I'm so happy I don't live in an area with risks for frequent tornadoes. Glad they didn't hit your home though! Sounds like you had a good weekend too.
Lauren- great job with maintaining! sounds like you had a busy busy weekend but a good one! I've never had Roy Rogers. And all of you talking about this fried rice, I gotta give it a shot!
Haley- You're never the jerk if you bring your own food...unless it's to a restaurant! MM. Thai food.
Stella- Thunderstorms waking you up is the worst! We got a storm yesterday too..but it didn't come until I was checking out at the grocery store and getting ready to leave. Go figure. Hooray for sleeping in though!
Looks like its going to storm here. Turbojam cardio party bought killed me this morning fixed myself a yummy lunch sandwich thin pizzas i had one ham/pineapple and one feta/spinach this afternoon is grocery day
Just a quick pop in. Been smokin busy with papers and exams for the last little while and haven't had much time for anything. Doesn't help, that my last exam is on the 29th and I start spring session on Saturday the 1st! Yes I have class from 8 - 5:30 on saturdays!!!!!!
I'm also hunting for a new roommate. My current one had some family stuff come up and decided to move back home. She's still paying rent, but I need to find someone soon. I hate roommate hunting!
I'm holding pretty steady at 138, though I'm probably up after a crazy saturday night. I'm watching what I eat and hopefully when I do my weigh in on Thursday I'll have recovered from that! Missed you chickies, but gotta run, my ride's here to take me to the library for a day of studying!
This is going to sound pretty stupid, but I just realized that I'm wearing another one of the pairs of jeans I got at that thrift store for "inspiration". These are size 10 from Gap!!! I couldn't quite get into them, even though I could wear another of the pairs not long after picking them up.
It is dark out when I'm getting up and dressed, so even with the lights on, my eyes are adjusting and such. I thought I had picked out an entirely different pair. These were a little more snug than I expected (expecting 12), but I figured it was that "fresh out of the washer jeans" snugness! I have fit into another size 10 pair, with no "stretch" to speak of. OMG.
