I was actually so sick I couldn't get to work, it was nasty. I called and told the manager of the store, and didn't talk to the cosmetics manager. I've decided that I don't care if I take a sick day - they can look back over my days off and find out I really haven't HAD any!!! Of COURSE I'm sick! I went back to bed for 4.5 hours! I have a crazy headache still, so I'm laying low.

Courtnie - congrats on the loss!! Thats a nice one!!

Rosario - they are replaying all the season's of Laguna Beach - I am loving it! We are on season 2 right now. Also, LC is wearing Ralph Lauren sun glasses in this episode!

Way to go on the loss Nikki and Courtnie!
Feel better Aimee!

I'm not eating enough on graveyard. I'll get so busy that I will forget to take a break! I'm going to pack a lunch tonight and maybe try writing down some break times on post it note and stick it to my computer at work, hopefully they will serve as a reminder. No losses to report I've been swinging between 248-251 since I've been home from vacation.

It's almost Friday!

Courtnie congrats on your loss

Hey ladies!!

Wow you guys are doing amazing! Losing weight and everything!! Ive been slacking(as usual). Being pretty busy. Wow, I havent logged in since April!!

Just wanted to say hi and let you all know how proud I am of you guys. Wish I had the drive like you guys to stick to it.

I was trying to do Slim-fast, but ended up being too hungry, so now that you guys are doing WW now, maybe Ill try that again!

Talk soon!
Randee

Randee - definitely join us on the WW thing!! I've decided its the perfect thing for summer - you can have your cake and eat it too. Welcome back!! I wondered where you'd gone too, but you have a really busy life and figured that was part of it!

Jen - Food = good, it'll keep you going. Fruit has been my life saver this summer, I stopped having fruit and ended up dehydrated. Thats how much fluids I get out of it, makes my water drinking thing better (I hate drinking water). Are you on the WW thing? How are you making out with your points?

I feel SO much better, I slept from 8am until 12:30pm, went back to sleep at 1:30 and got up at 4pm. Long sleep, but I feel 100% better. I now have 2 complete days off to look forward to, and right now feel really good about the decision to do this management thing - so many perks!!

-Aimee

everyone!

Congrats Nikki and Courtnie!

WELCOME back Randee! Stick around! And do WW with us!

Glad you're feeling better Aimee.

So my first week at my new job is officially over. Super easy, just requires LOTS of coffee! My co workers are a riot, I'm always laughing and sometimes blushing because they can get really raw. Next week, we get our own cubicles! I get to decorate and everything! We have a big industrial size refrigerator in the breakroom and I'm going to buy a large insulated bag and make sure I have plenty healthy snacks ready. Plus water, lots of BOTTLE water! You can't drink the water at either one of my jobs. Seriously! Every other woman is PREGNANT! I don't want to pull a Virgin Mary! Having two jobs means I'll be getting paid every week and will be able to save up for my move in December so I'm smiling alot these days!

Alright Alright I guess Ill do WW again (hahaha) I have to pull out all my info(meaning find it again)

Its just been really hard. We have been going to the beach (casinos) every weekend and eating out ...ALOT! Ill have to either quit eating out or back better decsions. I cant cook. Ive tried. I have all the WW cookbooks and only like maybe 3 things..seriously. Pretty sad.

Glad to see you all doing fabulous!

Happy Birthday Courtnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

More from me later..

-Aimee

Courtnie Happy Birthday!

Randee - I don't know that I make a lot from scratch myself, I eat lots of salads, stirfry's, veggies, fruit salads, tuna or egg salad on WASA crackers.
I also make the bf do a lot of that for me, hehe.. he's just a WAY better cook than myself. Do what you can!

So last week sucked - I was over by 24.5 points. Yes, thats OVER the flex points! I had a pity party on Saturday and ate WAY too much, or rather lots of food with really high points. I finally get what everyone says about being able to stick to it during the week and then blowing it on the weekends! Before this transfer of positions I never got more than 1 day off in a row, so weekends didn't exist. Now I know and just need to make more of an effort. Do you ever find you have more hungry days? 28 points feels like nothing on those days!

-Aimee

thanks everyone! scale is up 6 pounds *gasp*

Aimee- How is it going today? I used to be the same way with weekends. They are so hard to stay on plan at times.

Courtnie-Hang in there. Is it your TOM ? maybe you are dehydrated?

I had my weigh in today and maintained which works for me. I'm happy as long as I am still in the 140's As soon as I get to 145 I am getting my belly repierced. I have waited 5 years now to redo it. I refused while I was heavy.

Nikki

My TOM is approaching - I am up 2 pounds this morning and feel gross and crampy.I am doing better - haven't had a second to sit down and calculate my points from yesterday, but it was pretty good. I went out for dinner and instead of a burger I got a cup of soup and a side salad. I'll figure out allthe points later.. I am off to work again!

Courtnie - now did you deserve those pounds, or are they just water weight and weighing after having a heavy meal the night before? I'm betting on the second half.. just keepy plugging away, keep logging those points!

-Aimee

I dunno... over all it was a bad weekend - maybe 1-2 pounds is real? I am sure most of it is water weight, still 4 pounds up today. Trying to drink lots of water.

I am kinda missing calorie counting, like weight watchers is good and easy - but some things were just better when counting, like 100 cal for a mini bagel was nothing but 2 points seems like a lot! lol

Hey ladies!
Welcome Randee!

Just a quick check in from me : My points have been on track, however, because I spend most of my day sleeping, I think the foods I'm eating are pretty calorie dense. I'm working in my fruits when I can and drinking lots of water. Also, I'm stearing clear of my scale for a little while, just for a week or two; my body is still figuring out my schedule!
Happy Friday!
