SHARI - CONGRATS!!!!

Well girls, I sure missed a lot... not sure why I haven't been posting. Too busy... lazy? combo or both? lol

Anyway, so the scale was up almost 2 pounds for the last couple weeks, but it is back down though. BAD for me though because I have only been eating around 900-1000 calories a day. I eat lots though, make sure I am not hungry. I am not doing this permently, just to try and even out the weekends. I have to stop this losing and gain, lose and gaining.

Weekends are the worst. This weekend is going to be different, or I am going to try my hardnest.

Today is my grandfathers last day with a house he has had for over 50 years. A beautiful little house that was once ocean front, but now there is a road in front of it. He got an amazing offer on the house and he took it so he moved to a condo. Soon the house will be torn down and condos in its place. Tonight after work, we are going to sit in the house and drink champagne. I dunno why, but thinking of it makes me cry.

Anyway, I am going to have ONE glass of champagne. Then we are going for dinner, I will not have ANYTHING to drink at dinner. Not sure what I am going to eat yet, eyeing up the smoked salmon quasidia - then there is no way I can get fries - I probably wont get just a salad, maybe a sandwitch and salad - still very high in calories, but I find salads at restruants are never much better then a healthy sandwitch calorie wise.

And then tomorrow we are going for dinner at someone's house, someone I havent been in touch with in years! She is 8 years older then me, but we used to hang out tons when I was younger - go shopping, she would babysit me, that sort of thing - anyway we are going for dinner and found out she is pregnant! I dunno what she is making, but I will eat small amounts.

So there will be TWO meals I eat this weekend that will not be counted, but I SWARE SWARE SWARE everything else I eat will be and it will be healthy!

this weekend will be different then the last few.

I must lost 10 pounds by christmas....

anyway, sorry for long post, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Courtnie - that was an impressively long post! Welcome back! I won't even say anything about that low of calories, because you already know what I would say.

Shari - good for you and not going to get the candy! I have a friend who has a lot of luck financially.. and just isn't responsible with her money, I find it SO annoying, so I definitely feel your pain. I am making more money now and it feels good to know I EARNED it, and wasn't just given it sporatically. GL with the job

Rosario - welcome back girl! How's it going so far? Think slow and steady - I wish you all lived closer to me and we could ALL do something together!

I never did get on the scale - it was too early in the morning and I dunno about you all, but I gotta wait about 30 minutes after waking up to get an accurate reading on the scale. I think I'll do it this morning. The scale was saying 257 last week.. eek! scary, thats UP 17 pounds from my lowest btw. So sad I will bbl..

So my scale said 253, back to my ticker weight, phew. Boy I can't wait to see the 240's!

Hey ladies! So it's official! I got the call from HR today and I start in San Antonio on Dec. 10! Wow. Now, I'm kinda annoyed and excited nervous. Annoyed cause I have about three weeks to pack up my apartment (I hate, hate, HATE packing!) and excited nervous cause I'm actually doing this!!!

Shari - that is super excited! congrats on the job and good luck! A new job (mind you never moved!) is always exciting and nervous for me, such a weird feeling starting a new job... I know you will do great!

Things are going good here... spent like 6 hours in the last two days trying to figure out Christmas cards! So much time I haven't got anything else I wanted done!

courtnie - oh dang, ur getting ur xmas cards ready already??

shari - congrats!!1 wow, a new adventure....I'm sorta envious. I hate moving....especially since we have this gazillion ton tv that is a pain to carry down and up 3 stories. Im stayin put for a while. Good luck with packing!!!

aimee - aimee 1, scale 0 ....lol

enygirl!!! your goal sounds really attainable!! I know u can get there. Look forward to getting to know ya!!!

Smae ol same ol here, haven't jumped on the scale becuase eating hasnt been the greatest and exercise has been non existant. I'm getting there, I promise.

Court ~ Thanks! you do christmas cards? I suppose that would be nice but I just don't have the patience! Besides, most of the people I care to wish Happy Xmas live near me.

Ro ~ Thank you sweetie. Do you need a kick in the ***?

Hola ladies! Glad to see y'all are still around

Alright - I am coming to a very sad realization. Being an Assistant Manager means that I am too high up to be friends with the staff and not high enough to be friends with managers. So basically? I'm in a very lonely position. Infact, today I hate it. Very hate it. And I'm sad that I basically have no friends. Oh, and to top it off? My scale is UP, WAY up.

-Aimee

everyone!

Good to see you Jen!

Aimee ~ Advancing can be hard but it's worth it.

I just do xmas card with pictures of my dogs, so I was trying to get the right picture (attached what I decided on)

been really stressful today, that resulted in going for sushi for lunch and having a pepper mocha, but whatever, im realy to kill someone

scale is good and all that crap but dog ate part of toy last night, we are already at over $500 at vet, with like more coming and i so pissed at service... aaaarrrrghhh

NSV?

I'm wearing size 20 jeans. Like two weeks ago, my 22s were sliding down my ***.

Shari - woohoo congrats!!

I'm really not over this work thing, but yah, not much I can do about it. It'll be worth it in the long run.. I have to keep reminding myself of that. The scale is being alright - I need to step it up MORE, so thats my plan in the upcoming weeks. Also helps that I have an xmas party to go to and have to have my pants fitting to the point where I don't have rolls hanging over! EW! Darn rolls!

-Aimee

Aimee ~ Rolls, any type, are bad! LOL

courtnie - I am so scared of vet bills. We got a little kitty and I am scared crapless that the little bugger is going to get sick and we're gonna have like thousand dollar vet bills. The good thing I've heard is that cats cost less than dogs.....so there still may be a chance for me yet. Lol.....but the pets are sooo worth the money aren't they?

shari - that's freaking awesome!!! Ur my inspiration this month!!! I don't even know what size I wear, I'm scared to go into a store and find out!!

aimee- that sucks about the work thing. I am so glad that I don't work at a job where all those politics are involved. I mean, how come people can't be mature enough to not base being ur friend on your title or position? It's kind of like high school all over again,huh? hang in there

I am here. Started working out. Still not really watchin my eating, but I'm trying to get a handle on this working out deal and then hopefully everything else will just fall into place. Nothing new and exciting happening with me really. How boring!

take care
