fatbegone - wow, your shopping trip sounds like lots of fun. here's some help for you during your shopping weekend. :dust:

aimee - that sucks!!! Something like that does make u feel horrible and that you've been violated. People like that who have no respect for other people's stuff should just be.....well, let's say something bad should be done to them :frypan:

brandy - hows it going girl??

courtnie - keiko look so cute in her v-day outfit!

today's weigh in day. I haven't been good so I know there might be a gain. But I have to just keep trying and working at it and hopefully, like Aimee says, it'll click with me and I'll be on my way.

Have a great V-day gals!!!! Try to stay away from the chocolate :chockiss:
:val1::val1::val1::val1::val1::val1::val1:

Goodmorning! Well whats left of it anyways, I've got 1 hour to go.. Going to be a quiet Valentines day, I work until 7:30pm tonight. I'm hoping the bf will make me a nice dinner, an onplan dinner. Tomorrow is WI day, so I gotta be extra good!

Rosario - One day it WILL click and the weight will fall off! Just keep plugging away, it'll happen.. I have faith :) Goodluck with your weigh in today, if you had a bad week it's likely water weight, so don't stress over it.

I've given Josh the task of getting in touch with Mazda and getting the car fixed today.. I'm still SO shocked that this is a problem ALL mazda 3's have. Talk about a glitch! I can't remember if I've told you all, but it turns out that if you punch the car right by the lock that it fools the car into thinking that you've unlocked it with the key and the alarm does NOT go off. I can't believe that the dealerships KNOW this and haven't done a recall. Jerks! Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next couple of days.

Well I am off to work.. have a good one!

Morning gals,

Aimee-WOW! I never knew that about the Mazda 3. That's insane. When they do the repair can they change something on yours so it doesn't happen? Isn't that just the icing-YOU get ripped off, and then have to shell out money to fix the car they broke just to get at what they wanted. (As you might have guessed I'm still pretty mad about my break in from last spring) Anyways, I hope you're doing ok. Hope your vday meal turned out well.

Ro-hang in there. I hope your weigh in wasnt to dissappointing.

I did way to much eating yesterday including indulging with some Coldstone Creamery ice cream (my favorite) and then some peanut butter cups. Oh well, today is a new day and I'm going to do my best and get right back on track. Life will be full of mistakes so learning to recover from them is critical for me.

I've got a sledding adventure planned on Saturday. I cant wait. We try to get as much of the family out as possible and then just have a ball. Its gonna be so much FUN!

Have a great day everyone.

Hey! So I've now lost 30 pounds total! Who knew I'd get there, and I'm SO close to getting under 220, just 2 pounds to go :) yay!!

Brandy - So we called Mazda and they know that this is a problem, and are working on fixing it. We are hoping they'll have an answer in the next couple of weeks, sounds like they are hoping for that too. I guess they'll do a recall once they've figured out how to fix it. Now we wait, and don't leave ANYTHING in the car, I'll get the bf to clear out the rest of the cd's and the mints (hey you never know what people are looking for). Sledding sounds like fun! Enjoy! It's a new lifestyle (never thought I'd hear myself say that), and so the ice cream etc, not a huge deal as long as it was just once. And if it's your fav, enjoy it once in a while with no guilt!

I will talk to you gals later!

Congrats on the 30 pounds Aimee!! Sorry I missed you on MSN.

Went out for an awesome dinner last night :) Keiko gave us a scare this morning. I have this dish of rocks you put sented oil on, and I heard her in it and went running to see her chewing something, but the time I got to her she had swallowed it and smell of Lemongrass+Basil I thought she ate a rock. After some procastanating and thinking it wasnt a big deal we ended up at the vets (after calling and them telling me to bring her in right away).

They x-rayed and there was NO rock! phew - dunno what she ate! But they are keeping her for the day cuz she must of had a taste of some oil, but she is going to be just fine!

Hi girls - been a crazy week here. My daughter (16) has been having Tom trouble for ~ 6 months, so dr put her on the pill end of Dec to see if they could get her straightened out. Jan was great - but Feb hit hard. Tom has been visiting for 3 weeks now! She has been passing clots/tissue etc. Ended up in the emergency room Sunda night. Gave her some fluids and siad to get her in with my ob/gyn. Couldn't get her in until Tuesday - she was bleeding really heavy and was admitted her to the hosp. She got released yesterday afternoon. They think her hormones are just out of whack. Since she is so young they can not do a D&C, so she will just have the bleed it out. My eating has been really screwed up. I did not have enought to eat on Wed/Thursday. I will try to be good this weekend an then really get seriouse again next week.

I had my window smashed in and my purse stolen 4-5 years ago. Luckily I had jut reurned from a business trip and my wallet wasn't even in there. Want to hear something weird? A year later I get a letter frmo the police department at work. They had recovered my purse 11 months prior, but needed to keep it for evidence. Apparently this guy had tons and tons of purses. Attached to my purse was my work id, so that is where they sent the letter. I loved that purse too! I got it back and I just can't use it - gives me the creeps...

Aimee - congrats on the 30lb- yoo-hoo! You are so close!

Courtnie - I'm glad Keiko is OK. My dog int eh picture has been terrible about chewing lately - will chew anything! Sh enever chewed as a puppy. I even tried giving her vitamins in case he was lacking something!

Brandy - how was sledding? Sounds like fun! Hey- if you are going to endulge, coldstone is the way to go - I LOVE that place.

Rosario- thanks for the Will Power Dust!

I probalby won't be on for a few days. Everyone have a good weekend!

Way to go on 30 pounds Aimee!!

Well I got my butt back on track yesterday so I'm feeling pretty good. I also bought a pair of snowshoes to play with! I used them for a very short time last night and they seem cool. I might take them through the park today.

fatbegone-I sure hope they get your daughter feeling better. I wouldn't be to worried about your eating at the moment. You need to help your daughter get through all this.

Courtnie-Glad Keiko is ok. That sure adds alot of worry to your day. I hope all is back to normal now.

Thanks everyone, 30 pounds feels pretty crazy. I never thought I'd get here, phew, thank goodness I am though!

fatBgone - hope everything works out with your daughter!

Brandy - glad to hear you are back on track, that was a good recovery!

I worked an early shift today, I was off at 12:30, I don't know if it's good or bad. I am SO tired right now and just don't really feel like doing ANYTHING! Mmmm sleep.. heh.. have a good one gals!

-Aimee

Wooooohoooooo!!!!!!!! My walking partner is no longer sick so its now 5:30 am, and I'm up having a bit of joe :coffee2: before we're on our way at 6. :yay: I have missed these walks the past 2 weeks. :running: We've got a whopping 9 F for a temp and I'm not sure of the wind chill, but it'll be great to get out.

So today is the sledding trip. I'm so very excited. Hopefully no broken bones thistime. (I broke my tailbone abut 10 yrs ago on the family outing and we've had a few broken toes and fingers through the years.) Gonna be so fun!

Aimee-hope you got in lots of sleep and are wide awake today. Sundays are like that for me. After I play 2 services I'm beat by noon with not much energy left for the day. This week I've got a side job in the afternoon and my sis's bday party in the evening so it'll be really tiring. I'm sure I'll have fun though.

Happy Saturday.

wow I am down 1.4... yay! so happy, i didnt think i was gonna be down!

Brandy - hope you had fun sledding, and didn't get ANY broken bones! Glad your walking friend is back - it's lonely going alone!

Courtnie - congrats on the weight loss!!

I am just finishing whitening my teeth (crest white strips), just 10 minutes to go and then I am off to bed. Last night I managed to get into bed around 9pm, I passed RIGHT out... sleep was just alright though. Josh had a nap and wasn't able to sleep most of the night and kept me semi awake as well. He's not home right now so I'm gonna get to sleep before he gets home. I guess he's feeling better too - he stayed home from work because he was sick and ended up going out to his friends. My mom always said - if you are too sick to go to school you are too sick to go to a friends.. heh. Guess that stuck with me.. Have a good one gals!

-Aimee

anyone wanna join me?

Courtnie-Congrts on the loss! You've been waiting and workng for so long. Good job sticking with it through your "stuck" phase.

Aimee-A black eye! I accidentally hit a ramp some teenagers built and took a face plant into the snow. It was still a good trip overall. The neice and nephew had a blast. Isnt it annoying when your SO keeps ya from sleeping? It seems like one of us sleeps on the couch fairly often here.

I had a rough day with eating on Sunday so I'm getting back on track yesterday and today. My art class starts back up today so I'm excited about that. I got a full afternoon of teaching and then bible study tonight. It should be a wonderful day. Hope all of you are doing well also.

Brandy - my goodness a black eye?? I've never had one of those before.. do people look at your weirdly? Are you married? Engaged? Shacked up without a piece of paper? I'm the last one... we can't afford a really nice couch, therefore we can't afford to get married. Heh.. I think in weird ways! Josh and I will get married some day, but now we are enjoying life and both are 100% committed to this relationship. I'm having a few rough days as well.. TOM is here and I am craving cake like CRAZY! I am letting myself have some - no regrets, no guilt. I am however going back to 100% no sugar, including no fruit, for 7 days to get my headspace back. It's amazing to me how much power I used to let food have.. I don't like that and having no sugar really helps me get the focus away from that.

I am babbling.. have a good one :)

-Aimee

Aimee-my eye doesnt really hurt, its just a bit tender when I put my contacts in. I'm married-we celebrated our 10th in Nov. Its crazy to think I've been married that long. We were hs sweethearts, did the long distance thing through college (500 miles apart) and then got married, bought a house, the whole deal within 6 months of him finishing his degree. (I was in the first year of my graduate program)

Hope your TOM is calming down. I am going to be going off my depo shot soon and am DREADING the return of TOM. I used to get serious cramps and everything. Its been so nice and convenient not to have them. I think its good you're allowing yourself some sugar with no guilt. That makes things easier to handle emotionally and then its easier to get back to normal.

Well, today I'm going to try to take it easy until time for work tonight. I will do a workout, but our walk was cancelled due to freezing FOG. Can yo imagine that? Crazy weather.

Have a great day.
