Hi All,

Had a good day yesterday...DH and I walked around the "block" which is just part of the complex...not as hilly as the whole complex, 3 times after dinner last night. It actually felt really good, and he was surprised that I said let's go a second time, but then when I said, OK, let's do a third time, he almost fell over. My knees started burning when we were nearing the end of the third time around so we called it quits. I'm not sure how far it was, will have to drive it and see. I'm guessing close to a mile.

BFB- Come on missy, get your act together...we have to do this. I have WI tonight and I'm pretty sure I'll have a small lose...hoping for a pound, more would be nice! I've been pretty good this week, so I should lose something...but then again, I am PMSing so who knows!

Jul- Congrats on the pants!

Rabbit- You're doing incredible!! 11 days OP!! WooHoo!! cool:

Bailey- Glad the journal page is working for you! It is a kind of accountability. I've said this before, it's very easy to cheat and not type in everything you ate, but for some reason, I feel like I have to! Did I miss something, your kicking puppies out on the street?! :(

Pryia- What a great thing to hear, yes, 25 lbs. is a lot, be happy to accept compliments!! :D Let's all strive to be like Rabbit!! :)

OK, time to do some work...have a great day all!!

HELLO ALL!

OK, 12 days op. WooHoo. It really makes me feel good to be able to say that. I checked the scales this morning and they look the same, but I'm sure thinking I should have a loss tomorrow night! Whatever, it is a great feeling to be in control of myself.

RR - wow, if the stork does come you will be one busy lady!:)

BFB - so sorry about the gain!:( Hang in there though! We've all done that self sabotaging, just don't let it send you on a downward spiral.

Lauren - hooray for the long hilly walk!:D Good luck at your weigh in.

GOod Evening all!!
Feeling much better today..WOrk was totally crazy today and I cant wait to lie in the bed and read!!! Refman and I have a new thing we started this week, get the little one asleep by 8 and the older one in her room and we have quiet time together locked in our room.. It has been soo relaxing talking, him brushing my hair and laughing..It has made me love him more cuz he is taking time for me...:D I recommend it to anyone that has stress!!!!

BFB--remember, it could be strictly water gain..Don't be discouraged!!!

Lauren--Excercise is more fun with someone U love!!!Unfortunately, I excercise first, then watch the kids for him to go to the gym..

I am off to get some hair color and a cut!!!I am old, but dont want to look it!!!!!:cool:

Rabbit, I've been reading your posts and you are so inspiring. I have been faltering for quite a while and feel miserable. I'm pretty nervous about school starting and that is my poor excuse for overeating. But I think about you all everyday, scared to check in because I've been so lax. Anyway, I'm so proud of you!

Sonya

Hi All,

Good news!! I lost 2.2 lbs. at WI last night!! :) I'm very excited because I know that as long as I plan, everything will be fine! :)

Sonya- Nice to see you!! How much more school do you have? Geez, it seems like you've been going forever!! LOL!! Good luck to you...and stick around!

RR- That sounds like a great plan you and DH have for getting in valuable time together. We don't even have kids yet, and we have to make time to just cuddle together!! We have dinner, and then he either messes with the computer or watches what he wants and I go in the BR and watch my soaps! Yes, exercising together is soo much better. I would probably not have gone around 3 times if DH wasn't with me, chatting the whole time.

Rabbit- Good luck at WI tonight!! I just know you're gonna have a great loss!! :D

Have a great day all!!

HI EVERYONE

13 Days OP! You know, it's like I just will not let myself break that and go over my points. Hopefully, I'll have a good loss tonight.:)

RR - glad you have found a stress reliever! And you are NOT old!:D

Sonya - I'm so glad to hear from you! I've been wondering about you. Sorry that you are feeling miserable. I KNOW you can do this. You have come so far already. Grad school starts soon then? You'll handle that just fine. Please don't be scared to check in!! We've missed you.:)

Lauren - WOW on the loss!:D

gotta run - I'm hungry for lunch!

Just got back from a little shopping. I bought two pair size 14 regular jeans. YEAH!!!! I haven't seen size 14 in 6 yrs!!
What a boost!!

O.k. I have to get back to cleaning house. We have a house/dog sitter coming in tomorrow for the weekend. We'll leave about 6 a.m. for St Louis. Have a indoor show this weekend. Nice thing about indoor shows is they have very poor selections of food so we have to bring our own (healthy) snacks.

Hi Rabbit and Lauren. Thanks for the nice posts. Lauren, it took me six years to get my bachelor's degree, and will take me two more years to get my Master's in digital media. Maybe by then the economy will have rebounded and I'll be able to get a good job? Hope so. Rabbit, school starts on the 10th of September and it's looming! Once I know what's expected of me, I think I'll be fine.

Jul, so glad about the 14 jeans. That's a great feeling. Your progress encourages me.

See you all soon, and thanks for welcoming me back.

Sonya

Hi All,

YEAH RABBIT!! A little work always pays off!! Congrats!!

Sonya- Wow, that's a lot of school!! :dizzy: What kind of job will digital media get you...sounds interesting.

BFB- Congrats on being OP!!!

Jul- WooHoo!! Congrats on the 14's!!

Anybody have plans for the weekend? We're not doing a whole lot. Wanted to go away, but can't afford it right now. We're going to put some shelves up in the kitchen and hooks to hang some utensils, because they just don't fit in the drawers! Will try and get a curtain rod and scarf up over the sliders too. We have blinds, but it needs some softening up, ya' know?! Either Sunday or Monday we'll be at my mom's for a cookout.

Have a great day and weekend all!!

HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!
