Hey ladies! Well, I finally get to post a good loss...2.5 lbs! Only 18 more to go 'til my Thanksgiving goal--I might actually make it!!

CookieMonster~ great job this weekend! I haven't seen that episode, but I might have to set up a video camera to see what hubby's doing at night...LOL :lol:

She-Mullet~ I have the opposite problem...I haven't slept well SINCE my son was born! Actually, more like since I was about 6 mos pregnant! Hmm...23 months of crappy sleep...yeah, that'll get to you! LOL :dizzy:

gammagirl~ Nuclear Medicine Technologist? Eek! :eek: :lol:

Fae~ glad Curves is going well for you...I'm thinking about trying them myself, just have to come up with the $$$. :strong:

paperclippy~ good luck on the ring!!! very excited for you!! :) :cp:

WastedThermos~ I haven't been in the dating scene for a while so my advice might be useless, but I say that the fact he spent such a great weekend with you could mean his other romance has fizzled. Maybe he just hasn't gotten the nerve to break up with her, maybe they're seeing other people...you never know! Rather than writing it off as him not being that interested in YOU, why don't you ask him about her? Something along the lines of "hey, since we had a good time last weekend I thought about seeing if you wanted to get together again but then I found out you have a g/f...what's the deal?" If nothing else you might get a good friend out of it.

Happy Wednesday everybody!! :) :dance:

Hi everyone,
yesterday was my looooong day, I work my regualr 9-5 then I teach a night class until 10 so its pretty tortureous. But on a good note, I am getting much better at teaching. I noticed last night that it used to be so hard for me to get through a 3 hours class now, it breezes by and I feel liek I run out of time.
I didn't even get a chance to eat dinner which I know is bad but as long as its not a habit, its better than over eating.
I got to get back to work, I'll check in later,
thanks everyone for welcoming me back.
Jennie

Sugarbutt~ where at in MICHIGan are you moving to?? I live here and my BF does the same thing as your HUBBY!!! not to mention the drinking on the weekends with all of oiur friends

Hi, girls! I just got off the treadmill after a 35 minute discussion in my head (on the way home from school/work by myself in the car!!) about whether or not I really wanted to do it. I forced myself, though! I hate to admit it but I am a Big Brother addict. I had never watched it until this season. Nothing was on the night it started and I was just flipping through.........and have watched ever since. :rolleyes: I had taped it last night so I popped that in and hopped on the treadmill. At least it got me through 45 minutes!

Megan~I will definitely keep my fingers crossed for you on your Ph.D.!! I'm sure you'll do great! Before I found out about NM, I was going to try to get a Ph.D. in microbiology.

LockItUp~A lot of my relatives are teachers and they love it! My aunt in VA teaches 1st grade (and they move up with the class to 2nd grade then start with a new class the following year). The others teach jr. high and high school (I think they are crazy for that!! I couldn't do it! I know how we acted in high school!!!). Good luck with your classes!

Paperclippy~Let me just tell you how much I rely on computers for my job!! So thanks to people like you, I actually can use them........I am so clueless when it comes to the whole programming and technical side of it! To answer your question........we do quite a wide variety of exams. We do a lot of stress tests for hearts, bone scans to look for stress fractures, tumors, etc., blood flow to the brain (to check for brain death), how kidneys function......pretty much a test for all parts of the body! It's so interesting! I love it! We inject people with specific radioactive tracers for what we're looking for. So, yes, I make people radioactive! :lol:

Fae~I totally know how you feel about saving money instead of spending it on the membership........but it's money well spent if it gets you motivated and going!!

FatChristy~Congrats on the weight loss!!! That's great!!

Sorry for the long post! I had a huge physics final today so I haven't been on to keep up! Hope everyone has a good night!

sorry it's been a few days girls...but it's been long and strenuous...3 days of practicing hold techniques (which means you and another person continuously practice taking a third person down to the ground) ugh...but it's done so yay

Gamma Girl - I'm a BB fan too - I watched most of the 4th season and then got into again this year. Who are you rooting for?

I am moving to saginaw..or bay city.... men suck

Jenicra~I am rooting for Janelle!! I love her! At first I thought she was going to be one of those dumb blondes (and I'm a blonde so I hate those types b/c they give the rest of us a bad name!!!) but I was happy to see it was just an act! Who are you rooting for?!

Have a great day, girls!

Good Morning!!! :coffee2: Thursday.... wow... What a week!! Im totally off plan latly, but Im ok with it, getting back on this weekend, I have been just sooo busy, with that party, and now with the milliuon thank yous I have to write!!
How is everyone doing with the sept. Challenge?? Well I hope everyone is having a good week!! ;)

I must admit I'm rooting for Janelle too, ever since Kaysar left the first time (before her, I was rooting for Kaysar but only because he was too handsome not to be on TV for as long as possible). :D

Jenicra~I liked Kaysar, too. I heard he is going to be on an episode of The Young & The Restless (I think Oct. 5??).

I can't believe it's only Thursday!!!! The whole day has felt like Friday to me and I really wish it was! I was bad on calories today. They were having a blood drive at the hospital where I go to school/work so I donated. Of course, I had to have a cookie and a regular Coke afterward! I hadn't eaten breakfast so I thought I'd go up to the cafeteria and get something healthy.......well, what called my name was a biscuit and sausage gravy. Then everyone decided to order Chinese for lunch and I just couldn't resist. Then I had class in another dept. and they had a party with leftover sweets. :kickcan: No willpower at all today.

I'll get back on track tomorrow! Does anyone have anything fun planned for the weekend? Nothing here except catching up on studying!

Hello ladies! Well, my eating has been off lately, that's for sure. Since I haven't gained back the weight that I thought I lost while being sick, I'm starting to think I actually continued losing during my vacation, and that it dropped overnight because I was retaining so much water.

But I have been eating a lot of crap. We bought a box of chocolates last weekend and I have been eating 2 chocolates each night. Then last night we were both tired and stressed out so we ordered pizza from Domino's instead of cooking (the kitchen was a mess and neither of us had the energy to clean it up). It was yummy, but I'm sure I will regret those extra calories later! I also have not been exercising. I'm still having trouble waking up on time because of the jetlag and being sick (I know, jetlag after two weeks is pretty sad). SO my plan is to start fresh next Monday. Then I will be back on track and I will lose these last five pounds!!

I am looking into going to the dentist . . . I have two plans available -- dental insurance through school that covers one cleaning per year and about 40% of the cost of fillings (which costs about $190 for the whole year), or a dental discount plan where I get discounted rates on everything (30-50% off), but I have to pay up front, but there is no fee for the plan at all. I am thinking I might just go with the dental discount, then I don't have to deal with an insurance company at all and I think it will probably come out about the same, especially if I need any major work done (the insurance doesn't cover anything more severe than fillings, but the other plan discounts root canals and everything).

Anyway, I am wasting some time right now . . . I have a discussion section for a class at 6:30 so I have an hour to kill.

Oh, I have a question for you other ladies who, like me, have no children. Do you ever feel like your biological clock is ticking away?? I have become addicted to watching pregnancy shows on the Discovery Health Channel and "A Baby Story" on TLC. I don't plan on having children any time soon, but I think it's really weird that I am just totally fascinated by these shows. Then I also have two different thoughts about babies: (1) they're adorable and I want one, and (2) they poop and throw up and scream and keep you up all night, who wants that? So sometimes I wonder if I will ever have kids at all. Anyway, just wondering if any of you have the same thing. I know I won't have kids any time soon since my more pressing desire is to get a dog, but I don't want to get a dog until I have a house because I like BIG dogs! And because I know that I am not ready (emotionally, financially, or in any other way) to have a kid right now.

Enough blabbing, I am rambling about stuff and I've only managed to waste ten minutes of the hour I have to kill. I guess it's time to go read the other boards!

Hello Ladies,

Been so busy with work and school, and trying to get to the gym psoting is becoming more of a hassle. Sorry, but you all will be fine without me cking in all the time.

Gammagirl: I had that same conversation in my head last night, after a long day at work, and then school til 8:00 did I really want to go to the gym. No, I didn't, but I did anyways...I ended up doing the treadmill while watching the INXS show...not a fan of that show, but kept me on the treadmill. I'm glad I forced myself to go, I'm sure you did to. All those days that we force ourselves all add up, just like those days that we are lazy and go home to sit in front of the t.v.

Take care everyone, I'll post when I can.
