Good Morning Red team!! Sheesh I feel like I'm neglecting my team lately because I never have time to respond to everyone! But as usual I'm flying by the seat of my pants. Have I ever said how much I hate Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Today will be my first attempt at finding fast food that I can eat. My youngest has a luncheon in her classroom today and I have always allowed my girls their pick of "special" lunch for these things. I have no intentions whatsoever of straying off plan though, I've worked my tail off this week just to make up for my splurging last week.

Alright, the oldest one is ready to go, so we are off!

Have a fantastic day today everyone!! Tomorrow is weigh in day for me...yippee! LOL!

My goodness...no red team at all today?

We were waiting for you to come back! Ahhhh yeah that's it.

I'm just busy bookbinding. I have 2 art shows in 4 and 5 weeks so I have to bust ***... but I'm getting over a dry spell art wise so that's good. Half the reasons I do the shows it to scare myself into being productive. I think the glue smell is getting to me today so it was time for a break.

My weight isn't moving this week and it's annoying the heck out of me. Guess I lost too much the last 4 weeks. Normally I'm only about 10lbs a month.

Hey muse!!! Gosh I'm so glad to see you this morning!! Although, it looks like you were up in the wee hours!! LOL...did you get a nice long break from the glue? 10lbs a month is pretty darn fantastic, I'd say doing more than that your body is gonna need to catch up! Way to go though!!

Well I suppose I'll get cracking on that homework a little early today.

Today is my weigh in day but I havent done it yet! I need to do my measurements today too.

Have a great day...I hope someone comes and says hello! Kinda of scary to have the entire support group go MIA!

Hi everyone!

I've been crazy busy, plus the fiber optic line to my area was cut by some contractor down south (once again) so we've been without internet access. Plus no banking, and the computers at work, the shops, and everywhere go down when this happens--it's a real pain. BUT I've been eating pretty well and exercising. I felt crummy when I got up this morning, but had a date with Leslie and that made me feel much better.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, ladies, because I think I might make goal this week.

Keep going everyone!

It IS like a job isnt it!! Only you dont get a vacation from it! Your payment...a fit healthy sexy bod that fits your dream wedding dress!!

Ann..I think I'd die if all the computer lines were down LOL!! OMG...almost to goal! I cant wait to see that post!!! You can do it!! this is the week!!!

Well, I'm in a really pissy mood now! I'm the pta president for my youngest daughters school so it falls on me to find volunteers for different pta functions. Well today was hearing screening and I rounded up 2 volunteers to take care of it, even talked to one of them last night at 8pm to confirm, left messages for the other. Well I get a call this morning at 830 (when the volunteers were supposed to be there) from the school telling me...no volunteers...so off I go to do it myself. So aggrivating! I'm just the type of person where if I say I'm gonna do something I do it, and if something happens that I cant, I do not wait till the last minute to let someone know, or just not show up at all. I had planned on spending my entire morning in a quiet house getting ahead on my tax homework so I could focus on a paper I have due next week. So my whole plan was shot and I'm behind again. Sorry to unload on you...just needed to vent that out!

I'm so riding my bike to class..rain or no rain..just to work off my frustrations LOL!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, please find a minute or 2 to let us know how you are doing.

Melissa, that really sucks, I'm sorry they wimped out on you. Good for you for riding your bike to class.

Diva, stay strong, it's a 24 hour job, but we can do it!

I had a so-so day yesterday. I was a little down in the dumps. I didn't eat just tons of food, but made the wrong choices. AF is also in town, so that might have had something to do with it. Today I've been doing really well. I started out the day with some yoga, then I took the baby to the park where we ran 28 minutes! That's my longest ever, I was really proud. Ithink the weather being so cool had something to do with it. My next goal is 30 minutes. I also have a 5k at the end of the month, so I hope to be able to do that as well.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi all!!

Just wanted to check in. Sorry some of you have had a rough day. I hope that eberyone has a great weekend!!! Mine starts in 2 hours. Yipeeee!!!

I'm here. I got back from Richmond about an hour ago. I did well. I got veggie soup and chicken and broccoli (sp?). I didn't eat the rice that came with it. Next week and the following week I will be at two separate conferences so I need to be really careful. I will take snacks with me and do the best I can.

way to go likenoother!! I knew you could stick to your goals!

Well I weighed in this morning and I'm down 5 lbs from last saturday...too bad 4 of it was a gain! So I'm gonna wait another day before posting my weight...see if i cant eek out a little more today! Looks like its gonna be a beautiful fall day, so good chance to get some exercise in to help out!

I hope all is well with everyone!

Well I woke up to a surprise today! My dear sweet hubby to be's Mom, G'ma, sister and neice surprised us with a visit. They drove ALL the way down to TN from North Eastern PA just to visit with us for a day and drive back up tomorrow! LOL! Who does that?! But it was a very nice visit. We all decided together that it would be easier and more convenient for everyone if we wait and get married up there on the 4th of July weekend, because we are up there every year anyways. So we have changed the wedding date. This works for me too because it gives me MORE time to lose weight and at this rate I could actually be to goal or damn near it by then!!!!

HI ALL!, I'm doing good, just survived a week from ****. I had to do my job plus another ladies. I'm very proud of myself, I had to go to work two hours earlier than normal and still managed to exercise everyday. I can't remember if I posted this earlier, but I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE! With running that is...I used to ocassionally do it and now I have a craving for it. Used to crave sweets but now I can't seem to resist running, all apart of the NEW & IMPROVED ME. Everyone keep up the good work! THE RED TEAM ROCKS.

Good Morning Red team! Where is everyone!!?

Diva...so glad you had a nice visit and got a little stress relief. You can definetly be at goal by then, and looking SMOKIN I might add!

Bridgette...that is so exciting!! Way to go on turning your life around! Not sure if I'll ever crave exercise but I wont turn it down if it happens thats for sure LOL!! Keep up the great work, I hope this week is less hellish for you!

No big numbers for me to report this week. But still a little loss nonetheless. Hopefully next week I can meet my goal of breaking 235...oh that feels good!!

I've got a paper to write today...lucky me! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Hey Red Team! No loss for me this week, but I did go buy some new clothes, all in a smaller size than last time I bought anything (August)! So I guess I'm doing something right, even though the scale is NOT moving.

Sorry haven't been on much, have an ongoing family emergency.
