Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great op day. I have. Actually all week I have been OP. I go get weighed tomorrow so hopefully I will be down some. I am done work for the week. I have till Monday off wooohooooo!!!!

I also love to read but I am one of those mushy types of readers. I like romance stories. My fav author is Danielle Steel. I have read most of her books.

My answer for the question of the day is: I hadn't bought myself nothing in a long long time. Justcause having to go shopping and try everything till I FINALLY found something that fit was just not enjoyable to me. I have taken up shopping and let me tell ya I love it!!1 lol... Not sure if my pocket book does tho. lol


Have a great night and good luck to everyone on their weigh ins this week.

Just popping in for a quick hello! I just got back from the Y, and I'm really, really tired. I've spent all day emptying my bedroom & prepping to paint it and put in new flooring tomorrow. I got that click-lock flooring from Ikea, so it shouldn't be that hard to do. I'm going to bed now, got to be up bright and early to paint tomorrow. (ugh, I can smell the fumes already) :faint: Oh well, I got quick-dry latex, and the clerk told me it shouldn't be too bad. Let's hope I can sleep in the room tomorrow night, otherwise I'm stuck sharing the couch with a pair of chihuahuas! Yikes! :lol:

Keep on workin' for it, ladies! I want to see the red team kick butt again this week! :cheer2: GO RED!!!

-Yello.

Good morning ladies!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday!!!

Later 'gators!

Good morning ladies~ Well yesterday proved to be interesting at the gym. I knew I was going to do a extra long cardio session because of my little slip up yesterday afternoon. Before I tell the story though I'm happy to report I finished the day off great with my eating, and didn't continue the binge. That is huge for me, usually once I start it's very hard for me to stop. Like I said though I had to say out loud to myself STOP for me to stop, whatever works! Okay so I'm at the gym and after 70 min of cardio I'm dripping with sweat, and tired. I wanted just to finish off on the ellptical for 18 min. and then I was outta there. Well first off while on the treadmill the girl next to me had some awful body odor. I have a very weak stomach, and I understand I'm at a gym and it's not going to smell like roses, but this was bad!! I was halfway through my workout though, and I didn't want to stop and move, and I knew that would be rude so I stuck it out. Okay so I'm done and off to finish the night on the ellptical. So like I said I'm dripping sweat, tired, and ready to go home. I have my mp3 on and I saw this man walk in front of the machine I was on and he looked at me and said hi, or at least that's what I think he said, I had my music blaring. So there are about 20 ellpticals, and only about 6 of them were in use, but all of a sudden I feel someone next to mine. Not only do I feel them I smell them. I was like ohhh heck no, not again. Okay so I have my music on and then I feel someone tapping me. I look over and there is the guy, so I pull my earpiece off and he starts talking to me. First he wants to know how long I usually workout, I say about and hour to and hour and a half. Then he wants to know how much I want to loose, I say about 15 more pounds. Then he looks me up and down and says your in pretty good shape...well thanks sir, pretty good shape. I wanted to knock this man off the machine. I'm dripping with sweat and the last thing I want is some moran assessing my body and weight!!! So then he asks if I'm married, so I'm thinking here we go this will end it soon. Yep I'm married, he asks how long 6 yrs. Do I like being married, yes I LOVE IT!LOL! Then he asks does my husband workout with me, no he works out after the kids go to bed...thinking okay now I'm married and have kids back the **** off mister! How many kids do I have, 3. What do I do for a living, I stay at home...tell your husband he's a lucky man. I just wanted to punch this man in the face! I finally just put my earpiece back on and finished my workout. I wasn't trying to be a witch, but dude is it not obvious that I'm not A interested and B married with 3 kids. The thing of it is I swear this is the same man who hit on me about a year ago when I first joined the gym...the questions seem pretty fimiliar! So that was my interesting evening at the gym, but when all was said and done I got in 88 min. of great cardio! Okay today I'm cleaning house, my legs are so sore today. Tomorrow were helping Kev's brother move, and Sunday I have to go grocery shopping. Other then that not much happening~

Danielle- I want to see that movie! I always like to see the movie before I read the book, but I have to say I always usually enjoy the book more.

Cassie- Happy Birthday to your brother! I hope your feeling better~

Roni- I'm glad to hear your doing good. I was worried about you. I think a pt job will be nice for you, and maybe you could meet some friendly people! Have a great weekend!

OptimistK- Your reading is way different from mine, yours sounds a lot more intellectual then mine!LOL! My husband loves William Faukner though...he is from the Dukes of Hazzard right, or had something to do with it?

Muse- A 4 mile walk outside right now doesn't sound fun at ALL! It's so cold here I think I would freeze into a block of ice before I made it home;) Did you get to do a DVD?

Yello- Good luck with painting and the floor today, I hope it goes smooth for you~

Cat- Hey all of us have days where we skip a workout or don't eat OP, your doing the right thing though by moving on and starting a new day!

Cecilia- Who knows why are body does what it does, don't sweat 2 lbs though!

Cathy/Canada- Great job with being OP all week long, you should have a great weigh-in. I really like mushy books also. I love DS, one of my favorite by her was The Long Road Home...great book!

Melissa- How's it going today girlie?

Have a great weekend- Laura, Melissa73,Andi, Floann, Meech, Karen, Rennie, Deb, M23BC, Kari, Jen, Cathy, Sara, Emily, and Barbara:)

good morning everyone,

So I went to WI this morning and I am down 2 more pounds. I am half way there. I was glad to finally see that. I havwe an underactive thyroid and take meds daily for it, I wasnt expecting nor was I expected to lose this much considering the thyroid problem so I am really happy and so are the councellors at my center. Someone with a thryoid problem is usually able to lose no more than a pound a week. I have been averaging my two pounds and more.


I love the long road home. I havent read one her books that I havent enjoyed. I hate when the book is almost done. Well I am off till Monday so I dont plan on doing much. I bowl tonight. Other than that I dunno. I hope you have a great weekend.

Cathy/Canada

Happy Friday Gang!

I am looking forward to a great OP weekend, actually can't wait for weigh in this weekend! I've been a good girl with food, only thing is exercise has only happened 2x this past week. Work just gets so in the way, wish I could ditch it. LOL

Cathy in Canada- Great to see you! Wishing you skinny vibes at weigh in today!

Diva, you're doing great. Be patient, I know it's hard but keep on keeping on the weight will have no choice but to melt away!

OptimistK, have a great day!

Tina, which movie? P.S. I love you? I want to too, but dh says I'm on my own for that one. lol Atonement(which I'm reading now) is just starting to get really good so I'm hoping the movie for that one will be great too. I cannot believe the nerve of that guy!! How creepy. Hopefully that's the end of him! You did awesome on that workout, lots to be proud of lady!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Well I just weighed myself and I'm down .5 of a pound. I'm really happy though because my period is about to start so a loss of any kind is great this time of month. Hopefully my next WI will be great! Okay going to log my weight so I don't forget!

Cathy/Canada- Great job on that loss, that's great!

Danielle- I was talking about PS, but know that I'm thinking I really want to see both of them. I could probably wait for PS to come to video, but I would love to see Atonement at the movies, they are saying it's the best love story since Titanic, and I LOVED THAT MOVIE!!!

Tina, me too! I could watch Titanic over and over again and not get sick of it. Much to the dismay of my family! LOL

Just wanted to tell everyone that I am doing good and going to weigh in tomorrow but I am down 2 pounds this week! I am going to go to the gym so will talk to you all later!

Good afternoon Red team!! I'm seeing lots of losing going on!!! You guys are amazing!!

Its been a BUSY day for me! Tomorrow my little one turns 9, and then my dh goes and says "oh this is the last year before she is a double digit midget" WAAAAAHHHH! My baby isnt a baby anymore! so anyway I've been running around like a chicken with no head trying to get ready because I put things off till the last minute! Wouldnt have been to big a deal but I had to sew her a skirt for her ice skating tomorrow. Was a much bigger chore than I thought it was gonna be! Anyway, I think I'm pretty much ready now! LOL!

Its snowing!!!

Tomorrow is weigh in more me, I'm excited! I still gotta make it over to the gym for the 3rd day of c25k for this week!

Alright I'm rambling and its time to fetch the kiddies! Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!! Be good to you!
