Good morning RR. Hope everyone has a good week. It's another vacation week for me.

Hi All,

We had a great time at the Wiggles yesterday! It was Peter's first concert. He was totally mesmerized! I wish I had a camera with me. We didn't bring it because I thought you couldn't. Turns out everyone had cameras, and I guess they were allowed, just now audio or video recordings. He didn't really dance around or anything, I think he was just totally mesmerized! :lol: We had close seats, but we couldn't see the back of the stage, because we were too much on the side, KWIM? Robby had a great time also, but I think the concert itself was just a side show for him, he had more fun looking at everything, and standing on me! :lol3:

Lisa, Hey, what's this with more vacation?! I'm jealous. Wait a minute...I'm on "vacation" also! :lol3:

RR, Congrats on another loss!! :cp: My mom is dying to see that movie!

Lauren, I am soo glad that your kids enjoyed the Wiggles. (Even though I still havent seen them) I'm glad you did too. My vacation is the last week before school starts. I had to work double the amount of time last week so I could really relax before the craziness sets in. Remember I am taking 5 classes this semester.

I dropped 3 lbs this week. I guess going to the gym really does work. (lol)

Hello to all.

Hello everyone!

We had a super great time at the Wiggles! We ended up with hot potato seats after all and Alex loved the coloring book and colors. I was so happy 'cause after last year I made sure we were there in plenty of time. He spent the whole time before the show coloring and making my friend draw trains in his book! AND, Murray said Hi to him, rubbed his shoulder and told him he was cute! He spent the whole rest of the show in a trance! He danced for a couple songs (more like jumped really) but spent the rest of the time standing or sitting in my friends lap, totally into the show! It was great. We had an awesome time.

RR: great on the loss!

Lisa: Yeah! Congrats on the loss!

:wave: :wave: Hello to everyone!

Karen, How did you end up with HP seats?! We were like 4 rows back from the HP seats, and the dad in front of us grabbed us a packet, along with some for his kids! We also got 3 bags of Motts goodies on the way out. :lol: That's pretty much what Peter did, sat on DH's lap and stared! Lucky Alex w/Murray! We were on Anthony's side.

Lisa, Congrats on the loss!!

KK & Lauren, Thanks for the notice. I do have some encouraging words, for myself.

I was at the mall on Sat. and I spotted a boy (man really) that I went to High School with, he recognized me and asked for my phone number. He is so much cuter now, in HS he was such a dork! Man-o-man!!! Anyways, I was suprised because 1) we've been out of HS for almost 15 yrs., 2) I'd been out of the area almost 10 of those years, moving back less than two years ago, and 3) I have gaind alot of weight. My weight in high school is the weight that I am trying to get down to. Anyways it was nice to be noticed and have someone ask for my number.

Well now it is time for bed, I am falling asleep and making all types of mistakes that I have to go back and correct.

Lisa, that's awesome!! I always dreamed of that happening to me...except there weren't too many guys in my HS class that I would've been interested in. :lol:

Good morning everyone,

we are getting ready to go to Sesame Place. I'm very tired this morning. Yawn. Ugh. Alex was up by 6 today. Which is OK since I didn't want to oversleep, but goodness.

Lauren: I just kept asking for the best tickets available online. Then I picked the ones that said premium. When I got my tickets they didn't say anything about being premium or hot potato seats. If you go again you need to be in rows 1-5 of the first off the floor section. I'm not sure about the floor seats. I wouldn't want to sit there anyhow. You'd have to stand and hold your kid the whole time.

Lisa: Cool story! How neat to meet an old school chum like that. I wouldn't know anyone from my HS class even if they came up and said Hi! It's been 20 years since I've seen them (22 actually! Ugh!).

Have a good day everyone!

Have fun at SP Karen! We want to go too! Geez, that's alot of driving for a couple days! Hey, what a plan, if I'm out of work for a couple weeks, I should tell DH to take a day off and go!

:cp: :cp: Congrats RR and Lisa on your losses !!

LBH and Karen - Happy to hear that the Wiggles was a hit !!!

I had a busy week last week ... Kids started back to school, I now officially have a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener :dizzy: Where did the time go :?: I have been spending some quality time with Jake (who will start K next fall) and while the bigger 2 are in school ... I took the opprunity to clean out their rooms !! :dizzy:

Hope y'all have a great week !! We have company coming into town this weekend so I will be busy doing that "company coming clean" :p

Hi all, well I'm down another 3 lbs. I was hoping to be in the 180's by sept. It looks like it might be a week or two into sept. before that happens. I have been in a size 18 for the past couple of months but it looks like I need to go into a 14 or 16. At my heaviest I was in a size 32.

My house is a huge huge mess so we are having a family meeting tonight about what my kids are going to do! Without dad being around anymore they think that they can live like pigs and not help me with anything. I'm still looking for a job but no luck yet. I have decided that if I have not found anything good by feb. I am going to move to San Antonio. My great aunt has a house there that no one is living in (she is in a nursing home now). I figure I will have better luck finding a job in a big city than in this little crappy town. OK thats enough from me have a great one all!

Tiffany

Hi All,

Tiff, Congrats on the loss!! :cheer: Hope something comes up soon. Are you near San Antonio now, or will it be a major move for you?

Norissa, Enjoy your time with Jake!

San Antonio is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from where I'm at now. When my husband and I seperated I moved back to my home town (about 2 months ago). There is nothing here, I have applied everywhere I can think of, I have no clue what to do next. My closest friend here is married now and runs around with her other married friends, I have only seen her once for about 5 min when I first got here. Thats only because I stopped by her shop to say hi, and let her know I was here. My mother is here, but I don't see her often (she is battling cancer and trying to get her life worked out). All my other friends are gone.

We saw the Wiggles last year in WA, Jeff ran right beside us and waved hi to my little Caeleigh, she was a little under 2 so she really didn't have an idea what was going on. I did like how they added a little adult humor for the parents to make it fun for us aswell.

RR congrats on the loss!!!!! Just look at a stick of butter and you will see that 1/2 lb is alot..

Tiffany

This morning I found out I lost a pound.:)

Hello all...LBH and Karen--Glad U enjoyed the show..I know we did better than the other 2 times we saw them...We are going to Winnie the Pooh on Sunday and then in October Dora the Explorer...Kaylee loves Dora!!!!

Lisa--Congrats on the "date"!!! How wonderful!!!I see people all the time as a nurse in the hospital...I freak them out with a 2 y/o since their kids are grown up!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I matured late!!!


Tiffy--Hope things work out..It is hard being in a "different place" in life and physically...Take it easy!!U R doing great on the weight loss!!! Keep it up!!

Norissa--Have fun with #3!!! I love to spend time with my daughter when DH's daughters are away..

Rakkoon--Yeah on the pound!!! It all adds up!!!

Take care all!! Time to cook supper!!!
RR

Hi everyone! :wave:

Been all scatterbrained this weekend :dizzy: - was so tired :faint: all weekend then realized Sun nite why (AF) any way, I did manage to get an extra short walk on Sunday and did my backyard hike last night. Still doing my rounds 7 x a week for the animals.

Sounds like everyone has been doing great! :high:

Nothing new going on here - except we have company coming this weekend too - just DH hunting buddy but I still have to move the laundry out of the spare bedroom - ugh! :yikes:

Well - here is to another week and success to all! :cheers:

:D

How is everyone this morning?
This morning I did my workout. I'm glad its over with.

Hello all,

Well this week so far has been okay. I am so bored. You don't realize how busy you are til a week like this comes along. The only thing really strenous (sp?) that I have done is: starting to look at schools for their MBA programs. I think I want to keep the momentum going.

Well I will check in later.

Hi All,

DH is gonna kill me...I did nothing today. Robby was up a lot last night, the cough kept waking him up. I haven't given him his Zyrtec in a few days, because he seemed to be doing better, but I guess he needs it. :( In fact daycare just called me to tell me he's got a bad cough. So I took a long on and off nap on the sofa today. The phone's been ringing on and off all day...no call for an interview yet though. :( I just through some laundry in and did the dishes.

Rakkoon, Congrats on the loss and good for you working out! :cheer:

PJ, Nothing like company coming to get you cleaning! :lol3:

Tiff, How cool that Jeff came right by you! :) One stick of butter would be 1/4 lb. though, right? If there's 4 sticks in a 1 pound box? Still nice to think!

Okay, here is a stupid question. I have been on this site for almost a year and I can't figure out how to put the mini goal trackers on the bottom. Help me please.

Lisa

Hello everyone,

I haven't gotten any exercise in yet this week. After doing 4 days last week, I feel SO guilty. I've been so tired the past two days, it's been a major effort to even move. And I have to wait until Alex goes to bed or he hangs on the gate and cries. By then, I'm really exhausted. Ugh. I gotta try to get on there tonight. I haven't eaten so well the past couple of days either. OK, I really gotta get on the treadmill tonight.

Lauren: Does the look on this face look familiar?

And here's Murray on his way down to us:

Congrats to all the loosers this week! You know that I mean that in a loving way!

Good Morning!!! Just a quickie post before work!!
Lauren--I give the zyrtec every night--it works all the next day to prevent allergens from hitting and making them get mucusy(not a word, but better than snotty~~ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )If I miss, K gets hives from the cat or even ketchup and sneezes all day!!!She was put in timeout 3 times yesterday for putting rocks in her mouth at school...She is such a little boy!!! :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:
RR

Hi All,

Just waiting to hear from my recruiter about an interview...tap, tap, tap...

RR, yeah, I started it again last night. Felt soo bad, the poor little guy was awake almost every hour. Kept waking himself up coughing. :( I think he may be working on more teeth too, because he was pretty miserable last night.

Karen, Yup, that pretty much sums it up...pure awe! :lol3:

Lisa, I think you just make a second ticker that shows your mini-goal?

Hi everyone :wave:, just checking in. I am going for my weigh in tonight, :goodscale and then I am on vacation for the next ten days :woo: :dance: :cb: ! So I won't be posting until after labour day! Have a great week everyone! :D

Hello all! :wave:

So glad it is Thursday! Now if I just had that telekenisis thing, my laundry would fold itself. :goodvibes: :wizard:

Choc - Good Luck at the scales! :goodluck: I am sure it'll all be good. :crossed:

LBH - Hope the little boy is feeling better? Allergies suck. If the medication isnt helping his cough enough to let him sleep - :idea: try propping him up in a corner (is his bed in a corner?) anyway - I personally find that when I have a cough that sitting up to sleep - keeps it under control better that even cough syrup.

Hope everyone is doing good - happy hearts & minds lead to healthy bodies. :dance:

Well - I have company coming and I weigh in again on Sat - hope to see some movement this week since AF went away - sneaky old bag :s: - caught me off guard last week - where does the month go? :shrug:

Later Ladies! :D

Ok, I just had to tell someone that would know how this feels.. Well today I had to go and get a new pair of jeans because my 20's fall right off (I mean let go of them and they fall to the floor). I tried on a 16 thinking they might be a little snug, but I was wrong!!! They were too big!! So I went and grabbed a 14 and they were a perfect fit!! I started to get tears in my eyes...This is the first time in my whole adult life that I can now go into a "regular" store and not have to go to the plus size area!!! I still have alot more to lose, but this was an awsome feeling. At my highest weight I had to wear a 32 so this is so cool to me!

Tiffany

Tiffany, that is great news!!! Congratulations!!!! OMG!!! I am soo happy for you. Keep up the good work, it is so do-able. You've come a long way, baby! You don't have much farther to go (comparitively speaking). Good job.

AJ, if you find a way to get laundry to fold itself, please don't keep that a secret. I hate doing that too. (Along with ironing, dishes, sweeping, & other odds and ends) Man it's a good thing I live with my parents, huh? lol I will do them, I just don't like to. Good luck with the company.

Well as you can see, I haven't gotten to the second ticker. Even though this is my vacation and I should be relaxing, I have been nothing but non-stop going. Three days were spent at the school, and I am not even supposed to be there. Next week is going to be killer. I may not be on typing for a while, I just want to see how my classes and work is going to play out. I still will be reading though. So Lauren, please don't take my bio off - I am reading, just not responding to everything.

Well now that I feel like I've written a book, good night ya'll.

Hello everyone!
Tomarrow is Friday! :cb:
Today I wanted to leave out my walking and just do my tae bo. But I only got half way into it when my son started to cry. So I had to stop. But tonight my husband and I went out for a 2 mile walk, when we came back I did my Tae Bo :dance:
I'm so happy I got it out of the way, I was starting to worry that I would get lazy.
What sort of sucks, is that Sept 2nd is my husband and mom's birthday's. So I have to figure out what to do for both of them. This year we are going to Midieval Times theatre. My mom loves the Escalibor movie and my husband loves food (they give you lots of it). So we kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I just have to remember not to eat everything in sight. Or like my husband said "Don't eat alot all day so it won't seem so bad when you do eat there" My mom has no idea we are going. The only bad thing is, my mom eats like a bird. So I know she will complain about all the food. :(

Tiffy - Congratulations! :bravo: That is so beyond awesome! :cp: I have been there before and hope to be there again soon!!

Lisa - Good luck with the schoolwork :goodluck: - I am sure you will be great. Maybe just pop in once a week to say "hey" so we know you are still on the planet. And if I ever figure out how to make my house clean itself - I will definately spread that word. :lol:

Rakkoon - While your hubbys advice may make sense on the surface - I personally think you should do the opposite. Eat all your normal healthy meals including the most filling low calorie high fiber meal you can eat right before you go (Think lean prot like a 3-4 oz portion of chic breast, lots of veggies - broc or cali - like 2 cups, some sugar free app sauce about 1/3 c - this is about 400 cal or less and will make anyone full for a good 3-4 hrs) - then you will be too stuffed to eat more than just a few tastes of this and that.

Well it is Friday - the start of my weekend. I havent even begun to tackle the laundry. :stress: DH will fold his while I go into town for groceries - that is my exercise for today - 35 mile drive followed by 2hrs of roaming the stores pushing a heavy cart - I buy for 2 wks at a time so it gets full. :faint: Then I come home, put it all away and start folding. Sad part is that the laundry is the least of my cleaning needs - I have boxes all over the living room - it is just rediculous the way I attract clutter ugh!

Oh well - not like our friend cares - he is coming to go Bowhunting with DH so I will have the house to myself most of tomorrow and of course Sunday - if I can just stay awake? ;)

Later ladies! WI tomorrow :fr: after what I ate for dinner last night :jeno: - I dont have very high hopes :crossed: :goodscale

Bye!

Hi All,

Sorry I've been scarse. Robby has a bad ear infection. I feel horrible that I didn't bring him to the doc sooner. :( It's just that he plays with his ears all the time, and I always assume he has an ear infection when he gets sick, and he usually doesn't, so I try not to dwell on it. Turns out it's a pretty bad one. :( After 2 doses of Amox though, he's doing much better...heck, we got more than an hour sleep last night!

Taking Peter to his girlfriend's bday party today. :) I think it's just Jadey and the boys! :lol:

Happy weekend everyone!
I got my walk in tonight. We didn't do much today, just went shopping then came home and kicked back. I just wore my sweats and a tank top all day. I felt like a slob. I told my husband that I looked like the perfect candadate for that TV show "Ambush Makeover" :) Like any minute someone could come up to me and say "Look at that hair and those clothes! come with me." :) Tomarrow I will get dressed, I promise.
WOW! you just reminded me I have to finish the laundry :( I still have one load to do.
How is everyone elses weekend turning out? Anyone having a more exiting weekend then I? :)

See ya on the new thread!
