Morning ladies...
Penny-I am off plan, and getting back into the groove starting today. No more messing around. I gotta get this weight off of me. I so want to be able to wear normal size shorts this summer.
I'm assuming your at church. I skipped today. We woke up late, but it felt good to get some sleep.
TOM IS STILL HERE! My dh is getting my BC pills filled for me today. I can't take these long visits from TOM. It's been here since last Saturday. That's 9 days of h*ll. Don't like it.
Okay must do some WATP before I do anything else. Get me back on schedule.

Hey Ladies!
I just had my OP meal for the week. We went out for breakfast and I had One pancake and 2 sausages and a caramel latte. I'm stuffed!!
I lost 5 lbs this week and 1 inch from my hips and I've already completed the challenge for the day actually I did 300 crunches. Woo hoo!!
I've got a paper to write before I do anything else so I'll be back later, I just wanted to update you all and tell you how great you are all doing!!
Lots of love!!
Michelle

Hello ladies.
Chris, we also skipped church this morning. My teenage son had a major attitude problem this morning. Just when you think they are getting better, they suddenly start acting weird...
Michelle, sounds like you are really disciplined! Good job on the weight loss this week - that's awesome.
Today we went to the Orioles Fan Fest 2005 and I had a pretzel and two sips of Sprite for lunch. Not too good, but the alternatives were greasy pizza and full fat hot dogs. So, I guess I did pretty well.
Have a great evening!

Good evening ladies!
Sorry I have been MIA! Anyone miss me?!? I've been busy painting and dh has had to work all weekend so I've tried to stay busy and keep the kids busy too so they would be quiet while dh slept.
I finally got my pictures from Walmart tonight. I posted a couple on the msn site and will try to post them here too. It's never worked before but just maybe.......
Well, here goes nothing....
This is me when I started in August.The next 2 are me on December 27, 2004 before going to dh's company Christmas party.
This is just 3 of the things I have painted. I have done about 10 more since then.
Michelle: You are doing GREAT girl!!! Keep up the good work. My WI is tomorrow morning but I'm almost afraid to look because I know TOM is on his way anytime. Oh well, that means next week should be that much better, right?!?
Jill: Hope you and Bayley are home, and if not atleast getting better and will be home soon.
Chris: How's the fireplace coming? Hope you had a great day!
Gretchen: Glad to see you were able to avoid the dreaded ballpark hotdog and pizza .
Penny: Hope you had a Great Day as well!
Awfully quiet here today! Hope tomorrow is back to normal .
Will try to get here in the morning.
TTYL

Deana-Girl...You are looking awesome. With the weight loss you look soo much younger. I"m hoping when I finally get some of this weight off me that I'll look younger too. I'm sick of being mistaken for my sisters' mother. I am only 8 yrs older for crying out loud.
Penny-Were you op today? I hope so. I was...>YEAH!
Jill-So hoping that you are home safe and sound. Take care of that little girl of yours. I still think she's just the most adorable little thing with all that hair. Let us know how you guys are doing. I've been worried about you and Bayley.

Hey ladies! We're home!! I'm so glad to be home safe and sound and almost healthy! Bayley has a week of antibiotics left and doc said she will not have a clear lung for about 6 months but she will be back to normal in a couple weeks as far as her physical activity and mood. You should have seen her though, once the antibiotics and IV kicked in on Monday you wouldn't guess she was so sick, however when you looked at her x-ray she looked horrible. SHe's still getting nasty fevers but we are keeping them under control with regular Motrin. Let me just tell you how scary that was! I have taken her health for granted and this was just the wake up call I needed. The doc said it was just a matter of her being a little sick and being more suseptible to a really nasty germ that made it into her lung. He said he's never seen it happen to the same patient twice so I don't think I will have to worry about it again, but there are always other things she could catch. There's so much to tell but as you can probably imagine I'm beat and will be back tomorrow sometime. I just wanted to say how much you all mean to me and how much I appreciate your support. I really realized how much you all meant to me during this week because I wanted to make sure that you all knew what was going on because I would want the same if you all were going through something like this. You all are really true friends and I am just so thankful for each one of you! I hope to read through the old posts so I can find out what's been going on, I think I saw some new people and need to catch up on what's been going on with you all.
Jeniqua glad your dh is home safe and sound, sounds like we were in the same boat for awhile, how scary. Prayers for you!
DEANA LOOKS AWESOME!! I've been waiting for those pics for so long!! Keep it up you look great!!
Ok need to get going. Love you ladies!!
