I went to visit my mom yesterday and haven't left lol. I decided to stay the night last night which was planned but tonight i figured I'd spend some more time with her and have dinner and stay in my old room one more night. It's nice being home again for a couple of days. The bf was disappointed I was staying another night...probably cuz he didn't have dinner and was home alone but he understands. I have to leave by 6:30 tomorrow morning to head back home and be ready for work.
the funniest thing happened today, a bunch of highschool boys came to my mom's door selling coupons for the football team, well once of them we recongnized...I used to babysit him when i was younger and i remember when he was borned...he's at least 6'3 now! he gave me a hug and told his friends I used to babysit him and they laughed and said ya right...they though I was 18...oh bless their hearts! lol. They didn't think it was possible I was babysat him haha. little did they know I have 10 years on them...sweet...and like a good mom and neighbor my mom bought the coupons to help out the team. my god it's so weird to come back home and see all these kids go to college that I used to coach, or teach or babysit...and they are all taller than me and look older! It's a good feeling to see the young ones still keep up with the sports I used to coach them in and do well in school. I'm not ready for children yet but when I do I know we will be good parents
Well sorry to cut this short, I'm about to head to bed here. My sister was nice enough to let me borrow her clothes for my new job until i get enough money to get some more lol and she's younger but for her schooling she had to dress up for pharmacy so she has alot, me for my jobs...not so much. that's why i came back home to raid her closet. Good night guys and sweet dreams!
Good news is that I lost 2 more lbs, bad news is I ate lots of ice cream today( I mean like almost a whole half gallon), then worked out in the yard and all over outside our house for 6 hrs. in 96 degrees, I was drenched in sweat, yuk! I hope I burned most of the calories, but I kinda doubt it. I work at the farmer's market tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, so I won't have a chance to eat too much, never do. Maybe i can lose the weight then.
I didn't do as good today - I worked 7 hours (I usually am only scheduled 5 hours), and in the middle of my shift I got my period -- or rather, what is left of it -- I haven't had one for several months, and when I get them now they don't last long. This one seems to have come and gone in one afternoon, but it just sapped my strength -- I was so beat when I left work at 4, plus it was 97 degrees out, which drained me even more. So when I got home I ate -- and then ate a second dinner a few hours later with the family. Came out to about 1900 calories today -- oh well, I won't gain on that, but I won't lose either.
Tomorrow is another day to get back on track. You can bet I won't be weighing myself until I am sure my hormones have settled down, and I get at least another day or two of 1500 calories....
Hubby and I both have the day off tomorrow so I may not be online -- hope you all have a successful day....
Hi love2b150 and e1 else. Well i've gotton to be so busy its hard to get everything done. Busy helping daughter with some crochetting in the evenings but I do get my pool time in the morning. Sure was a good time on wenesday morning. lol just notice its 12:06 thursday morning.I counted calories for wenesday and they came to 1020 so I did good there. well i'm off to bed got to be at the gym at 930 in the morning. good night and have a good day .
Good morning! Today is my weigh in day and I am down 3.2. I got on and off the scale about 10 times b/c I didn't think I was going to lose that much this week. I was good about counting calories, but had some higher days. Maybe those higher days made the difference. Anyhow, I hope I can keep the trend and get those numbers down.
Jdonato: I'll bet your mom is thrilled to have you. It's nice to get the extra attention from moms. And too funny about the kid you used to babysit. Good luck with your new job.
KarenB : Have a fun on your day off. Hopefully you and your hubby will stay cool. It's going to be 95 here today and 97 tomorrow. Definitely a good day to swim.
I am going out to dinner with my hubby tonight for our anniversary. I have checked out the menu on line a few times. It's an Italian place, so choices are limited. I am looking forward to a nice glass of wine!
Well, my son woke up in a bad mood this morning, nothing satisfied him, he got upset twice over silly stuff. Just one of those off mornings i guess. My daughter spent fifteen minutes trying to find her other shoe and she got upset At least i was able to hug them before sending them off to school.
Bad habits are coming back again(well, not too bad) i've been weighing everyday this week Not suppose to be doing that because it can get me upset if i don't see what I want to see. The scale is still up 2lbs....ARG! At least i have today,tomorrow and Saturday before my official weigh in on sunday morning. Maybe i can have a loss this week. I'm measuring this weekend too so if the scale is being a meanie head then maybe the the measuring tape will be kind
ok, just checking in...a BIG HELLO TO EVERYONE out there!!!
Hello all, I'm back from a nice long visit at my boyfriend's in New Jersey.... Didn't lose much weight, but then again I didn't gain much either, so that's good.
Am I allowed to change my Labor Day goal? I'd like to just make my goal "sticking to it".... I'll lose weight, but I don't wanna make it an actual number/date thing.
Love2b, thanks for the whoosh thoughts! Lots coming your way, too. Sagzz, Happy Anniversary! I hope you and your DH have a very lovely evening. MissPriss and Fruitlady, am sending you lots of good thoughts so that it'll be easy to take good care of yourselves. M3, sticking to it is a super goal! BigMama and KarenBee, Envelope, congratulations! You are doing so well!
I adjusted my food plan again as I realized I was simply eating too much. Back on track and enjoying it.
bigmamatexas, I tried years ago to crochet and everything I made turned into a bowl/hat. I can't keep it flat. My Mom use to make afghans and stuff so I wanted to be like her. I can sew but have never master crocheting.
saggzz, congrats on the 3.2lbs that's great Happy Anniversary!
missPriss, glad you got your hugs before they left. Sending great measurements your way for Sunday
m3rma1d, glad to see you back.
envelope, you're doing great.
SilverLife thanks, I am happy today the scale has finally moved the right way down 1.4 this morning. Hope it keeps going
Happy Thursday Everyone, Hope you all have a great day
Back from my afternoon workout. I got those two miles in and I feel all kinds of good!!! I think I'm in a zone. No telling what my results will be at the end of this challenge.
Celebrate yourself today. You really matter to the people in your life and mine too.
At least i was able to hug them before sending them off to school.
