Well, Another day. Half way through the week. I'm hoping the scale stays where it is or continues to go down cuz I'm liking the looks of numbers I'm not posting the numbers cuz they probably won't stay. My day started out better. I'm still tired though. Not sleeping well again. UGH!! Oh well, maybe someday sleep'll come back

Have a great day

I'm about to go to bed, it's 10:40pm and I just finished watching Newlyweds
I'm NOT getting on the scales tomorrow morning, no matter how hard I find it to resist.

*yawn* g'night all...have a nice day!

Brenda: Good morning. We are always the early birds here. Hope you have a great day.

Trazzie: I just read the post from last night!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! They suspended her for that? I would be pissed to.
Don't mean to be stupid but what is an anarchy sign?


Well I still didn't lose that stinkin couple of pounds I am up. I feel very bloated and think it may be from the chinese on Saturday and the ham my dh cooked on Sunday (leftovers last night too!) Too much salt I think. Oh well.

I went to the local low carb store last night to get some of the 7 grain sesame bagels that I love.........THEY WERE OUT! Apparently the baker and the distributer had a disagreement of some kind and now they don't have any in the stores. OH WOE IS ME.....what am I going to have on Friday. Friday is half a bagel day.......oh dear.

Well, I am off. Very tired for some reason today...could it be because I stayed up to watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy last night. Love that show.

Talk more later.

Jane: I love QE too! Especially Carson, he cracks me up!

OMG I love Carson. Last night he was walking through a store and said "on the 8th day God created malls and said, Go shopping" You had to see it it was so funny. They crack me up.

Good Morning Brenda, Jane, and Raven Hope you all have a great day!

Well, I stepped on the scales this morning and I am down 2 lbs so far this week. Induction must be working some for me...I hope so anyway! It's off to work today, and then to the nephew's ball game. Supposed to be near 80 here today! Hope everyone has a great day, and I'll check back in after work this evening!

Well I just found where the 2 pounds where coming from.....I checked my sodium levels in FitDay for the past few days and YIKES! On Monday I was at over 3000 something and yesterday was at 2600+. Holy smokes. I checked on-line and found that you shouldn't have more than 2400 per day or 800 per meal. Well, well, well....that explains that.

I will work harder at that. That is one of the things I love about FitDay. I have learned so much about my daily requirements. That is what made me finally start taking my multi vitamin and calcium. Now I have discovered my maximum of sodium. What's next?

Good morning Chickies

Raven and Jane I love Queer eye too!!! I usually have to watch it at friends houses cause i only have basic cable ( can you believe it i work for the cable co.) but i get my free cable next week since my 90 days is up, so i will be watching too!!!! Yippeeeeee!!

Mrs H CONGRATS on the 2 pounds!! great Job

Brenda I am tellin' you need some B-1 you'd be sleepin like a baby!!

Well I am off to work today, haven't been to the gym this week yet but I am racking up the equator trek points for all the yard work. I am so excited about this weekend.
Saturday the boys and I and my sis and niece are goin to see The Wiggles in concert!! The kids are gonna love it. Then Sunday we have the big Easter Shindig and egg hunt (which is why i am frantically cleaning the house and yard, plus spring cleaning at the same time)
Hoep you all have a great day!!

TG

TG - I think we all have those crazy carb thoughts once in a while. I've found myself looking around more at what people are eating in restaurants.

Barbie - It took me a few starts before I was successful with induction also! Hang in there, you will get it!

Abbie - Thanks! The office cleaning didn't get far though!

Jane - Thanks tons for your well wishes. I'm getting better at not worrying (I think).

Karen - Isn't that an awesome program. I'm so glad you decided to pick it up and try it. I absolutely loved it!

Star, Leenie, Brenda =

Journey Girl - Good luck on the packing. I dont' know if I would do very well packing up someone else's things!

Kim - Looks like you are doing great!! Keep up the good work!

Raven - Good luck on staying off the scales. I think probably all of us know how difficult it can be at times. I'm very guilty of including it in my morning routine!

Trazzie - I am right there with you. There is sooooo much worse she could have been doing! Geez!

Mrs H - Congrats!!!!!

I'm finding that adding carbs back in is difficult and I've had a bad couple of days. I am really going to have to watch myself so the sugar and carbs don't get out of control. I have checked on my fitday and that isn't helping. I suppose as vast as the internet is these days I should be able to find a group for PG women watching what they eat!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

The wedding was fabulous, and I'm sorry to say that I felt GREAT flaunting my diminished frame and kick-a** dress in front of all of those who last saw me at an 18-20!!!! My MIL kept her considerable mouth shut in my presence, uttering no barbs but no comments either. Even my husband noticed that it seemed to really tick her off when people kept coming up to me and telling me how wonderful I looked! I picked up a pound or so, but that will be off in no time. All-in-all, it was just the lift I needed! Without a computer to keep track of the dailies (grandpop is stuck in the 1940's), I felt so detached, so it's good to be able to check on how everyone is doing once again.

Brenda: Those numbers WILL go down -- you just gotta believe!

Raven: Welcome! Looking forward to getting to know you.

Jane: Chinese food does it to me EVERY TIME! Drink lots of H20 and give it time to flush out of your system. I'm a FitDay fanatic myself and it's one of the things that's made the big difference for me this time around (the other being this site!).

Mrs. H: Way to go on that induction loss!!!!! Go out and enjoy the warm weather (it'll be 85 here so I plan on doing the same).

Theo's Girl: If you don't make it to the gym, but need to burn off some extra calories, work your way over to my house and clean a bit here! By the way, the tortoise has made no signs of showing yet. I think he's going to do what he did last year and hide out under the shed until June!

Lori: Sorry I crossed paths! Congratulations on such a phenomenal job! I salute your choice to do the Lifetime Maintenance. You are definitely looking at this from the right perspective! Way to go!!!!!

Hey all,
Sorry I've been out of touch lately.... been having problems with the site.... wouldn't let me post for a bit and then my internet has been slowwwwwwwwww which is aggervating. Grrrr.
So, I've been walking every night and doing pilates and I'm up 3 lbs! ACK! Please tell me it's normal to gain weight when you start working out regularly? I've been trying to get back on track and GAINING isn't gonna help me any. My BF can cheat every other freakin day and still lose like 3lbs a week.... I start working out and gain weight.
I've been in a cleaning frenzy all week. My best friend is gone for the week so that frees up a lot of my time at night. My sister is a COMPLETE slob and I've been digging the apartment out of the mess she's created. HOnestly, I'm not hardly home.... EVER and when I am, I usually clean. She had 10 bags of trash stacked in the dining room!!! (She NEVER takes out the trash). So I got a bit of a work out taking those 10 bags to the dumpster. I'm going to KILL her if she stacks ONE more bag there. She chipped in and "cleaned" the bathroom last night... which consisted of her getting her clothes off the floor and removing her crap from the counter.... which means I can now go in and clean the shower, vanity and mirror and mop the floor freely. I'll be soooo happy when the BF and I can get a place of our own... at least it'll be CLEAN!
Other than that... not much to report. Finally got my license and am now in the process of trying to find a summer job so I can get some bills paid off. I cut up my credit cards a few years back after I graduated college and saw the HUGE dept I had racked up... and I'm quite pleased to announce that I'm 600 bucks away from getting a credit card again! woo Hoo! Only this time I'll be a bit more responsible.

Lori: I think I may have missed something... are you pregant??? Congrats!!!!!

Everyone else

Don't have time for personals today. My job just turned really busy, and really sucky! I am posting my resume all over the place. Being a contractor sucks royally! Star, how did the surgery go? How many fingers am I holding up?

Hey everyone! I'm apologizing right now for not doing personals but I'm completely freaking out.

Last night DH and I went to have a cocktail. While we were at the pub we ran into another married couple that we're friends with. So we're all sitting there drinking and having a good time. As we were leaving, the other woman and I went for a quick dash to the ladies room and all of a sudden things got very very wrong. She tried doing something that she shouldn't have and I stopped her and then just kindof blew it off. I figured she was drunk and I was just confused as **** and didn't want to think about it.

Well, after DH and I got home, there was a knock on the door and they're standing there. They wanted to hang out longer so we let them come in (this is not unusual at all) and we're just talking and hanging out. Then the guys leave to go to 7-11 for cigarettes and all of sudden she's on me again. She tells me that she's in love with me and has been ever since she met me 3 years ago!

I had no clue what to do! She tried kissing me, she was running her hand up and down my thigh, for god's sake, she grabbed my food and licked my toes! I told her to knock it off. That I'm married and straight and she's married too and what the ****? And she tells me that her husband knows all about it and that's why they came over. WTF!!!!!

So now I'm freaked out and wondering how the **** I ended up in this bizzare alternate universe. I told DH about it last night but I'm really not sure he'll remember it today. You guys, what the **** do I do? I don't want weirdness, but this is insane and completely not ok in my book. Help!

OMG Star, I would be freaked out too. I am so sorry that this has made you so uncomfortable. You shouldn't have to be dealing with this and she shouldn't have done that. It would have been one thing if she had had a conversation with you to explain her feelings and then you could have nicely told her "no" but to come on to you like that is just not right.

If it were me I would do one of two things.....1. If she is important to you then have a talk and explain things and tell her how she made you feel and that you are not interested. 2. If you don't care about her, then just ignore her or if she tries it again tell her to screw!

I can't believe that. There are some really freaky people out there that is for sure.
Not that an alternative lifestyle is wrong it is just that she should have been thinking about your feelings NOT HERS.

Sorry Star
