Who else is ready for winter to be over???? More rain, snow, wind in the forcast for this week. I know there are lots of 'winter people' out there, but unfortunately, I am not one of them!! My dh is heading to Florida for a golfing weekend, and I think that is making all of this wacky weather harder to handle!!
On a brighter note, I am down a pound this week, which puts me back at 183 after gaining a couple last week.
I too have been stuck around the same weight for the last little while (long while), so I empathise with everyone who has posted the same thing!!
I'm going to check out the Self.com....it can't hurt!!
Trying to stick to the 'out of the box' challenge...although, the weekend was a bit tough. I could have done better at our Chinese buffet last friday, but those darn chicken balls were calling my name! Didn't do too much damage at the dessert table...only a little piece of shortcake and a bite of brownie.
Diva..good luck with the job hunt. I went back to work after 9 years at home...it has been a really great change for me, but very scary...as change can be sometimes! Julz...how amazing in finding a new cousin!!! Have fun in Chicago! gmugsy...glad to hear your son is okay
looking forward to starting the C25K next week....ice, snow or puddles...I am going out!!
Thanks everyone!! As a parent, having a kid "driving" has been frightening. I'm just very thankful he wasn't hurt, AND that he wasn't at fault. Did I mention both of the women involved in the accident had recently had brain surgery? How weird is that???
Julz - what a fabulous story!! I'm sending you skinny wishes, hoping you achieve your weight loss goal!!
Dea - I'm DONE with winter!!!
To all you losers out there: AWESOME JOB!!
To all you plateau babes out there: Just stick with it and your hard work and dedication will pay off!!
I just wanted to drop in and see how everyones weekend was? Mine was fun. I went out with my girlfriend, Amanda, and her on again- off again boyfriend, Adam, on Saturday to watch a local band play, that I love!! Well almost as soon as we got there we saw Adams ex and her husband. And the ex started calling him and texting him asking why he was in "her" town. So Adam started talking to the husband and I am not sure what went down but they wanted to leave but I didn't, so I stayed with another friend and had a great time. Didn't do much of anything yesterday, slept in a little considering I didn't get home until almost 4am!! Them I just decided it was a lazy day. I watched some movies on tv and cooked dinner then it was pretty much time to go to bed again. I wanted to get to sleep early cause I am working a 12 hour shift today. I had to be at work at 6:40am and work till about 7:20pm. Just because I work at a bank people expect me to hardly work, you know the saying "bankers hours"? Well not here!! Oh Well I just keep thinking of the overtime I will get when I get paid!!
Sounds like still a good few on our team are sick or just getting sick, hopefully that will work it its self out now so that we can finish out the challange strong!!
On a positive note, I am now down below 360!! I am so excited!! I couldn't tell you the last time I was below that and now I am!! Hopefully it will stick and I will keep going lower!!
I gotta get back to work! Hope everyone has a great Monday!! I will check back in and do personals later!!
Well sorry I have not checked in for quite a few days but I have been out of town and not around a computer till finally today. But anyways trying to catch up with everyone I also had to take a FREEBIE WEEK this week because I am still not home or around a scale so will have to weigh in next week.
Dream710 I would love to see your new tat, it took me 5 years to find the right one for me because it had to be the right one since it is permanent. I am ready for another one but again trying to find the right one. Try to get that picture figured out so we can all see
Londonjulz website sounds awesome I love looking at wedding dresses and so on. I have been married for 20 years but still love looking there are so many different styles and cool stuff now a days.
Chellez hope you are feeling better Strep is no fun I get it a couple times a year and you are right it is NO fun.
I was looking through the weighloss board and alot of you have again loss weight I am just hoping when I get home that I can finally post a loss. Well I also need to catch up on my emails so I will try to log on again tomorrow.
at this rate I could work for NBC with all my updates
My boss has asked me to come into work tomorrow for about an hour just to cut checks and write up delivery tickets etc. He doesn't want me there longer than necessary because he doesn't want the office infected. So I'm going into work tomorrow from noon until 1 pm EST.
So guess what that means! We WILL have weigh in results tomorrow from the Blue Team!
I plan on at least getting the weigh in results and stuff up around noon, then I'm going to forward a copy of everything to my email so I can come home and work on challenge stuff from here the rest of the day.
My throat is starting to feel better today, but of course the worst part is sleeping so we'll see how that goes in about 30 minutes.
I'm really glad that I do get a chance to get everything caught up tomorrow. I was going to be really upset if the challenge had to suffer because of me being sick.
I'm soooooooooooooo sorry but I have to take a freebie this week! I literally just worked 15 hours straight and didn't make it into my COD today to WI. Zoinks! I'm going in tomorrow... but that won't help us today. Sorry girls! I've been feeling so unmotivated lately... gotta get back on the wagon and really stay focused. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... right now I'm so tired I could pass out! G'Night all!
Heather! Way to go! That is awesome. Keep up the good work.
And congrats to everyone for making it through another week. I need to step up my efforts. I've been pretty lenient lately and it's too early in the game to be so relaxed. I have luckily started exercising, I've just nibbled on too many decadent things. Tomorrow is WW weigh-in and Tom should be here any time now.
For today's challenge I had: strawberries, salsa, red peppers, and a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, and portebella mushrooms. It's progress.
I guess I need to check in on Self.com's challenge.

ZOINKS! LMAO @ your Scoobie-doo sound effects! hehe! You make me laff gf!
Well everything went well with Ozzy getting fixed yesterday. Poor feller was tramatized though, but he'll live. Maybe now he'll stop trying to lick all my kitties fur off their persons.
Today Matt and I have back to back doc appt's an hour away, so I get to drive in rain, thunderstorms and high winds all day. yay me!
I actually DID go Hog wild yesterday. 3300 Calories. Yeah, I binged. I knew it was coming. it's like I was possessed. My inner Fat chick voice was asking me the entire time, Why are you doing this, STOP doing this, but I couldn't. I'm sure I gained even more. If by chance I get home at a decent hour today I may go take it out on the treadmill. Lord knows I need something.
Last time I went to the doc she told me some of my medications I take (for asthma & Diabetes) is slowing me down. Today I am going to request a med's change or something because this is rediculous!
Anyways, I think it's out of my system...I hope anyways....
chellez - I'm sorry you're feeling so icky, strep throat is NOT FUN! I usually get it once a year from my kids, and sometimes it'll lay me out a couple of weeks at a time if I don't catch it soon enough.
This week we're having midterms so it's been CRAZY busy ugh! Yesterday I single-handedly supervised 90 exams (no help, long story) and had to score 20 instructor tests (that's 20 packages of exams from instructor classes). I'm going to have to talk to my supervisor and see if we can bump up the turn around time for these tests from 12 - 24 hours to 48... All I'm going to do is make myself sick if I stress myself out like this. If she still says 12 - 24 hours, I'll demand help - again; as it's going to get busier as the week progresses.

Dea- I am so over winter at this point...I can't wait for spring and summer so I can play outside with my little guys!
Soulbliss- hiya! I am still on track with the challenge.
ggmugsy- that is so scary! I am glad he is okay.
Reda - I hope the scale is good to you!
Michie - I hope you got some rest!
Heather - Way to go!
Hope4me - I love portabella mushrooms...sooo yummy.
Sally - great job! Remember that feeling when you DONT want to go to the gym and it will help get you there!
Diva - 1 day now and then isn't bad girlie....just don't let it turn into a string of bad days! I hope your appointments go well, and that you are able to make time for yourself on the TM.
Tamaralynn - that seems very unfair - I hope you get some help.
Chellez- I hope you feel better!
Yesterday for the first day of the self.com challenge I did the #2 cardio, and let me tell you, it kicked my a$$. It really made me push myself. I think my body has just gotten used to running straight distances, so to shake it up with interval training is going to be good. I really felt it. I feel like my head is back in the game. I will lose these last 10 pounds dammit!
So if I had made it in to WI yesterday I COULD have been down to 222.2! Ugh! The one day I don't go WI I'm finally down over 1 pound! But it made me quite happy today to find out that I am down so much. 2 whole pounds over the weekend... I'm so happy! So hopefully I can keep this up and be down for next week too! Have a great day team... I'll catch up later! Peace!
Hey girlies. Day 2 of bad choices. If it shows on WI Monday I'll take a freebie. Anywho, I have ALL intentions of pulling myself together tomorrow. They are calling for snow, but I'll believe it when I see it, lol! My butt is going to the GYM! I plan on being on that treadmill for an hour!
All went well @ the doctors today. All my number's are good. I am basically the healthiest Fat girl w/Diabetes she's ever seen. She decided I can lose one of my meds, the actos. She says it makes ya retain water, and I told her I don't need any help in that dept, lol, she we are dropping it, BUT, I get a new pill for overactive bladder. I hope it works. I am sooooo tired of running to the dang bathroom every 15 to 20 miutes. I can't even get through a 30 minute workout w/out having to go! I go before I leave. I drive 7 minutes to the GYM, I go again, then about 20 minutes into my wak/run, I am having to go again....so I HOPE we can fix this!
