Well, the sky is pink and the ground gummy around here (although I have not been to the gym since Monday). Conferences coming up reall soon with two vacations planned before them!!! Pulled 3 all-nighters this week trying to get it all together - Off now for a ski we in VT!! Getting tons done and some "daily living" exercise to boot!

Been scanning all, but no time for a long post now. Thanks you guys - you really brighten my days even when I can't "hang with ya".

Hi all. I maintained at weigh in last night. I was happy with that after the week I had in Atlanta - but I realize that is NOT requiring more of myself. Have to work on that!

Liz - Thanks!! I was very happy about it.:D

Jul - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!:hb:

RR - glad the $$ is good and I'm sure getting off at 1:00 is great!:)

Nanci - Hooray for your continuting losses!!! :eek: ~ Thanks - and there are no more C.E.'s in my house!

Bailey - Have fun on your skiing weekend!

Gotta run - take care all.

I will require more of myself.

I hope you don't mind but I would like to share this with you. We had one of the most spectacular shuttle launches this morning. It was right at the beginning of dawn and incredibly beautiful. I feel so blessed to be able to watch them fly.

Nanci: Flying pigs are $22 plus shipping. And I think I need you to email me your addy again. [email protected] Cranberry, Pink, or Cran/Pink mix is nice. Cobalt or Cobalt/white. Cobalt/blue.
I can make them any color - those are just the best selling colors.

DH just left for a state art guild conference. Weather is yucky, still not sure if we're just going to get rain, 2-7 inches of snow, or ice. Missouri weather at its best! I'm hoping to do some major cleaning today and tomorrow. Also want to go get a few chick flicks to watch after the boys go to bed.

Guess, I'll get on with it and work on my bedroom awhile. - jul

Hello all!!!

Jul--I think the pigs are gonna be flying to new homes now!!!

Have a great evening all!!!

COngrats to all on the weight loss~!!!!

Just checking in. Need to get my booty in gear as I went shopping and bought a beautiful sequinned (sp?) top which is a UK size 14 (largest they did in this shop) and I have to lose weight to fit into it. It cost £100+ too scared to tell you the real price. Hubby hasn't seen it, because I rushed in and hid it in the back of the wardrobe :s:

Do you think this is a good enough incentive :lol: Do you think hubby will find the top :lol:

Happy belated birthday Jul
:hb:

Happy Saturday Everyone!

BFB, How fun to get the top. I love sparkely things. That will be great incentive for you.

Bailey, Have a great time skiing. I don't know how you are able to pull the all nighters. I haven't done those in a LONGGGGG time.

Rabbit, Way to go on that maintain. That is awesome. I am heading on a mini vacation soon and I need to figure out how I am going to handle that one.

Liz, I am glad you got to see the launch. I just love it when I see something that is so pretty it takes your breath away.

Jul, I am sending you the email right after this post. I have decided I am going to put the pig right next to my alarm clock on the night stand so when I reach over to hit the snooze I will see it. It is just so appropriate that you guys make them when we were talking about them :-)

Vick, Sounds like NASTY weather.

Everyone have a great Weekend!

Nanci

hello!

Thought I'd do a bright color hello because it is so dreary here! Rain, but no ice or snow yet - thankfully!

Did okay last night, but am a little bummed at myself about having too many snacks - I've got to get some control.

Liz - Cool about the spectacular space launch!:D

Jul - Enjoy the chick flicks. I should have done that last night - there was nothing on tv.

BPB - sounds like a beautiful new sequin top & what an incentive!:)

Nanci - you have done so well that you can't let a little mini vacation get the best of you!:D

Have a great OP weekend all!!

Rabbit

BFB: the top sounds wonderful. I traded a $180 bowl for a lovely hand woven scarf. (thats the most expensive scarf I've ever owned) It has matillic threads and electric blue and black cut threads and purple and a few other muted colors. I need something very fancy to wear this scarf too - luckly scarves fit any size. But I'm much braver about what I wear at a lower weight.

PS still determined to lose 20 lbs this year, even though I seem to be going thru self sabotage stage right now (comfort foods).

Mother Nature is pounding US!!
 

Well the snow has arrived in WI. Should have known since Spring is around the corner. We got about 4 inches last night and now about another 6 on the way.

I went and shoveled for my mom. So now I have found muscles I forgot I had. OUCH!! I now need to clean my house. Which I start after this post.

On day 5 of being OP. Really ;) with myself. It has been awhile since I have been. Won't make it to weigh in this week either. So hopefully when I go in 2 weeks, I will have a great BIG loss.

have a wonderful day!
