Lauren - I am sooooooo happy for you - you deserve it. It's been a really long time since I had a week like that but I'm going to keep trying. Good for you with the oreos too. That's what I should do - for 1 point each, 3 makes a nice satisfying snack. I like the thought of dividing them up because otherwise it's so hard to stop. Anyway, congratulations again.
Pryia : That sounds like a really cute swimsuit! I need to find one like that. I have a two-piece, but it's about three sizes too small at this point in the game!
Lauren : That was a great idea to bag up the cookies like that! I know it would keep me from sitting down and eating the whole dang package.
Today's my birthday (34 already!) and I'm going to Putt-Putt and the batting cages this afternoon and to the baseball game tonight. Tomorrow I start packing for Houston (after I go for my WI, of course), and I leave bright and early Saturday morning. It's going to be insanely busy at the institute, so I probably won't get to post much. Be thinking of me, though!
WEigh in is tonight . I would love to just maintain this week.
Elisa - good plan with the turkey burgers! Hope is works out for you. Planning can be a life saver.
Pryia - No! I didn't know that. Where would I find the recipe?
Lauren - WOOHOO ON THE 5.4 POUNDS!! That is so awesome. Yeah on the oreo dilemna also. I've been wanting to try those chocolate ones but I know I can't buy them.
If anyone has the Snickers Pie recipe I would love to have it. Sometimes we have company and I love to make desserts but if I can find one that people will love without knowing that it's not too fattening that would be great.
Jenelle - Happy Birthday!!!! I'll also be 34 this year.
Just as aside - I've never worn a 2 piece bathing suit in my life but it is one of my goals. I don't care if it takes until I'm 40 it's just something I'd like to do once in my life (and look okay in it of course). Even on my honeymoon when I probably didn't weigh more than 140 I tried them on but they just didn't look great. Do you have to be 110 pounds to look good or what??? Maybe it's just my body shape - hourglass is the kindest way to put it.
Hi guys!! I just found out that I had internet access at school. I am sitting here waiting for the teacher (now only 20 minutes late starting classw!!), so I decided to do a quick post. If my message doesn't end properly, you'll know I got kicked off the network when the teacher shows up!!
Lauren: HOW AWESOME!!!!!!!! That is so totally cool!
OOPS there he is. SEe ya'll later!!
Lauren--Congrats!!!!!OK..I think I did it at the picture trail site...That was too cool....It is www.picturetrail.com then go to joe1017 as an album..I loved my pics..My dad scanned a few to show my friends!!
Pryia-COngrats on the 10%!!!!I have to get the old buttocks in gear and excercise..I went 3 days this week but can't seem to energize at work.
Happy and Sonya--Congrats on the losses also!!
My goal for this next week is to excercise daily and see if I can maintain it for the whole week...Life sure has gotten busy!!!
Have a great one all!!!
RR
Don't have a lot of time right now, but I just wanted to pop in and say Vicki what a beautiful bride you were!! And the girls looked absolutely adorable!! You and Refman make a cute couple too! I thoroughly enjoyed looking at them, and will probably go back later when I have more time and look again!
hi all. I gained .4 last night - and I refuse to let it turn into anymore! I'm glad it was just a little gain.
elisa - I haven't worn a 2 piece in a long time - I guess since I had a baby - and he just turned 20! My stretch marks are unattractive so I think those days are gone.
happy - glad you are almost done for the summer. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with ds.
I've really got to take the time to check out you guy's pictures!
RR - please put me at 396 miles.
I'll be leaving for the weekend so will check in with you all later. Have a nice Father's Day.
Well, I got a new job! It's not as high level and challenging as the other one would've been, but it's a lot better than what I'm doing (making labels, copying!)!! It's asst. to the training & staff development department. It's being considered a parallel move as far as grade and salary, because what I'm making is much higher than what the position normally pays, but they got approval to keep my salary...not that I would've taken the job if they dropped my salary. It sounds fairly busy, and it is a pretty important position because whenever someone comes to audit us, particulary the FDA, they want to see our training files. So everything has to be in perfect order for just in case. I think that the position will probably evolve over the next year, in a good way, so that makes me hopeful.
Rabbit- Sorry about the gain, but at least you are aware why and can fix it!!
On the bathing suit subject...I have a two piece tankini that I bought while on the honeymoon, because I forgot to pack my bathing suit. I like it, it's a regular bottom (not shorts) and a tank top. It's navy w. a couple stripes across the chest, which actually is slimming, surprisingly. I like it because it's much easier to go to the bathroom when you don't have to completely undress, especially in a wet suit!!
LBH-Never thought of that with the SUIT. But good point. I think I will like that much better.
RoadRunner-Oh I just love the picture of you and SD#2 and Barney. It is just precious.
Rabbit-sorry about the gain. But you can get rid of tha.
LBH-Yeah on the new job. Hope you like it.
the weather sucks here today. But that is okay. We have 2 super hot days. And this weekend is suppose to be nice. Headed to the baseball game on Sunday. And have a busy weekend ahead of me.
Good Afternnoon all!
I am resisting anything that will sabatoge the day!!!Even if it means posting a 10 page post today!!!!
Pryia-That is my favorite pic also!!I thought having a special needs child was gonna be hard, I admit that it is challenging and I have to give things up sometimes..But I love her to pieces!!!!!She is a little Austic with Downs Syndrome mixture...
Lauren-Congrats on the job!!!!Can't wait to see your pics!!!Thanks for the info on the website!!!!
HappyBirthday Jennelle!!!!!Hmmm..boy do I wish I was 34 again!!!!
I am soo freaking bored...it's 4:30 and I have a 1/2 hr. left. Just cornered the facilities guy in the hall and told him what cube I want to be in. The cube that the current person in my new position is in is not going to be available because the data mgmt. group is taking it over. I picked a nice corner window cube in the back...actually it's in the front of the building. It's quieter back there, and I want to have them move the wall so that the entrance to the cube is by the window, not the aisle. (It's the little things that do a lot for me!!)
Man, it's a good thing I don't have any crap food here, because I think I would eat everything in site!! I'm hungry and bored. Need some ideas on free food!!
Think I will be sneaking out early...I can't take this!! Computer at home is still broken, DH took a 1/2 day to try and get it working. Have a great weekend all!!
Vicki - You look gorgeous in your wedding dress, your new daughters are beautiful, and I hope it's okay to say that your hubby is SUCH a cutie-pie!!
I weighed in today and lost 2.5 lbs, which puts me at 206.5 lbs. I made my birthday goal of 207! YAY! Really, it's probably not a "true" loss in total. I ate Chinese last night and something didn't agree with me in a BIG way. By midnight, most of what I had eaten had come back up. I figure it'll all balance out with next week's WI (in Houston - I leave tomorrow morning bright and early.)
My next goal is 203 by July 4th, then 197 (my 10% goal) by July 27th.
WOW!!!
. I would love to just maintain this week.
