Hey girls...we've got some serious color action going on here....
I went to the gym again on Sunday! yeah, Kat, it feels so good you do
wonder why you don't go all the time...it is hard to prioritize myself though...
everything else can get in the way and then the gym falls to the
wayside...but, not now. I'm burning those lbs off!!!!!!!

Well it is late here...
Going to go get some rest!
Love, Soozie

Ruthie, get out there and walk. It's beautiful out. (sort of)

Congrats to all of you exercising girls!!!

I'm on my way to the gym. My thighs are KILLING ME!!
Advil... I need Advil...

back later...
xoxo

Advil is a thing of beauty...had to take some the other night...legs were sore, couldn't sleep...can't make it to the gym today...going to do a tape at home...lots of work at my office...trying to fit everyone in so I can be off on Thursday to go out with my little vampirella.

Love to you girlies.
Soozie
...and keep moving those bodies.....
go Ellis! you exercise diva!!!!!

Hey Chickie's
Hope all are having a wonderfull Monday. The leaves are finally starting to turn colors and looking awsome. I wish i could be outside today instead of stuck in the office. I heard my favorite word on the weather report this morning, they are calling for snow here later in the week. Just flurries but it's a start and yes i'm a little warped.

Snow already...no way.
didn't exercise today.
have appt. with trainer tomorrow.
looking forward to that.
Love, Soozie

My gosh, Soozie... I thought you were breaking into a poem.

Good for you getting a P. trainer! I'm going to try that, too. Maybe after Christmas...

MrsM, you ARE warped!! SNOW!!! BLAH!!!


Love and hugs to all...

Ellis - I just walked! Yes, it's gorgeous out there but it is DAMNED COLD! The vet says Hershey needs to get more exercise to build up her stamina for delivery of those pups December 1. She is definitely not enthused about walking and lies down if I stop to talk to anyone! Somehow I know she and I are related!

Ruth, I'm so proud of you!!! Yay, Ruth!!!

Pups in December.... oooooh.... can you take pictures, please?

Yay Ruth!

Will you be selling your pups? or keeping them around for more agravation, maybe that *****y Drawers woman could use a new dog that can behave itself in public

And I have to commend you, Ellis, for your devotion to the gym since you joined!

Thank you, Mauvais. Ditto. But you've been eating too much lately. Is it the cold weather? We don't want you to lose that beautiful figure!

Went to the gym with DH this morning and had a good workout. But now I'm cold, crabby and tired. All I want to do is take a nap.

Okay...just typed a long message and lost it.
Went to gym, had a great workout.
proud of you girls for exercising
lets keep at it
realized if I just keep doing this for 12 more months
working out three or four days a week
eating a bit less
I'll be where I want to be by October 2003
then got into the one day at a time thing
then decided I should look at some greek sculpture for
inspiration.
found pics of two that I wrote papers on in undergrad
trying to glue them onto this page don't know if I can
Love, Soozie
I'll send this now and then try to send pics
Bye

NOW LOOK HERE, SOOZIE!!! THIS IS NOT THE POETRY THREAD!!!
You are so funny. Keep it coming, hon ...

Going to get my baby from school. I just had a nap. I think I'd better make some coffee when I get back, otherwise I won't get ANYTHING done today!

The problem with the Greeks is that they were so darned ummmm, fat. Wholesome. More wholesme than I care to be.

I'm here ladies, alive, barely, but alive.
I'm having a bad week.
Where to start. Well, I got suspended from work for 4 days, so that leaves me with only 2 days of work at my full time job. I deserved it. So I've put a period at the end of it and am moving on. Though I'm sure my co-workers will be asking me lots of questions when I return to work on Friday. And I'll tell them, I made a mistake, paid the consquences and moved on. End of story.
Had to take my car in today to get it fixed. The mechanic said he'll need it there for a couple of days. Doesn't sound good to me. Hopefully I won't have to drain my savings to pay for it.
And to top things off, I've got my period, a headache and I've been eating Reeses Peanut Butter cups like they are going out of style. Plus I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks either. I've put back on the 5 lbs I've lossed. I'm very depressed and have no idea why I can't get my motivation to exercise. My husband is of no help. His idea of dieting is only eating once a day. I wish I didn't like food as much as I do!

To you ladies out there....congrats on your exercising. You are doing a fantastic job! Now if you could only bottle up some of that motivation and send it on down to me!

Tomorrow when I get home from my p/t job, I'm going to get one of my exercise tapes out and do it! I'll pack my breakfast, lunch and snacks to take with me to work tomorrow to so I won't be eating any junk food there.
I only want to lose 10 lbs! And these 10lbs have been the hardest for me to lose!

Sorry for whining to you guys, but really, I have no one here to talk to that understands where I'm coming from.

Anyways, I"m off to heat some left over chili up for supper. Getting colder here now. Halloween night they are calling for flurries here!

I'll pop back in here later tonight and see what you ladies are up to.

Talk to you all then
Kelly

Kelly, I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time. Keep your chin up and don't look back! You CAN exercise, and you CAN eat healthily for an entire day!
You're going to do it... don't sink into a blue funk. You've got a lot going for you hon!

Kelly
Sorry you are going through so much all at once. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair to have to bear so much all at once. But you are a strong woman and you can get through it, one day at a time. Once you get yourself back into an exercise and eating right cycle again, you will be amazed at how much better you feel and things will gradually fall into place again.
Big hug!
Virginia
