Good for Soozie and good for YOU Virginia! Five and six days at the gym! wow!
Hey, I've given myself a minimum thingy (god, where's my vocabulary?) of 5 minutes running on the treadmill, and today I did 15 minutes without stopping! (goal? No.... deadline... no... geez...)

MrsM, how did your checkup go?

Got my period. Damn.
xoxo hugs girls

GO Ellis...GO Virginia...Sounds great!!!!
you go you girlies!!!
Love, Sooz

WOW!!!! You women are doing so well!!! I am just trying to reign in the overeating right now. I have been feeling REALLY out of control. HEY!! At least when the kids brought out the fritos I came up here and got on-line instead! For me (lately) that is a MAJOR victory.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Den, THAT'S GREAT!!! I know what a huge hurdle that is.
It's all the little things that add up. You go girl!!!
xo

....well, later on I ate some pretzels, but at least they're lower in fat than Fritos!!!

Every little bit helps Dent.
Ellis I started mine too, Double Damn!
Virginia

I just got mine too! I KNEW we PMS'd together!
Is it just me, or does PMS get worse as you get older? Mine is down right scary anymore! I am evil personified! :devil: But as soon as I get my period, I'm cheerful and back to my usual :angel:ic self!
I'm probably just so glad I'm not pregnant with a change of life baby!!

My sentiments EXACTLY, Kat!! I seem to have a nervous breakdown just before my period (thank you; Den, for recognizing the pattern ;) ), and then I'm fine. (well, as fine as can be expected when you're bleeding like a stuck pig)
But you're right... I can't think of anything worse than being pregnant at this time in my life! :rolleyes:

Whaaaahhhhh! I feel so left out! I miss having my period and PMS as an excuse for *****iness.
JUST KIDDING!

BTW, there's an article in the NY Times on menopause if anyone is interested...

Oh, Ruth... you poor thing you. I can't wait to be in YOUR shoes!

Well, today is my free day with BODY FOR LIFE! I had bacon and pancakes for breakfast and I am going to have something really good for lunch, not sure yet. No gym today! Unless Pam wants to start back tonight and I will go just so she does not overdo it. She tends to push herself too hard and she does not need to have another gall bladder/kidney attack. They are not sure! DIfeerent symptons, she had an ultra sound done last week and is waiting for the results to come back.
Chat later!
Virginia

YEAH RUTH!!!!!

I'd rather join YOUR club!!!!!

Didn't really mind my period until it went whacko a year ago. Somehow when it is a 3 week long, gushing blood event the fun just isn't there any more!!!!
(It has now been medicated into submission.)

All this talk about Menopause. :p I won't have that pleasure for quite sometime. But I think I am looking forward to it. I hate my period. And Ruthxxx - PMS my be a good excuse but I don't think we need an excuse to be *****y. I think we should just be if we feel like it. :lol:

Virginia - Good luck on the Body For Life thing!

Congrats on the loss Dr. Soozie! (any more wonderful poem posts hiding in you??) Have fun on vacation!!!

:mouse:squeak

Did you all miss me?
 

Sorry I haven't been here for a week. The computer was down. We ended up having to buy a new monitor. And as I'm typing, the space bar doesn't want to work. You really have to hit it a few times to get it to work.
I see that you all are doing very well with your eating and exercising. Wish that I could say the same. And not being able to to follow the things that I know I can and should be doing is making me depressed. Christmas and New Years is fast approaching and I want to be able to wear a slinky, sexy dress. But I won't be able to if I keep this up.
So today I've marked the day as my turning point. Today is the day were I start over again. And I'll need all the support I can get.

Oh, and Friday is when I go for my operation to get my wisdom teeth removed. Getting a bit scared as the date gets closer.

It's been very mild here the past few days. Yesterday we actually got a thunderstorm! I'll take the rain over snow anyday!

Well, I guess I'd better get going and my laundry ready and get some breakfast.
Today is cleaning day at my f/t job! From 1-4. Then I have to work at 5:30.

If I don't get a chance to talk to you later today, I'll talk to you all in the morning.

Take care

Kelly
