Ahhh... the crazy draining holiday and grammy stuff is behind me at last! Yesterday was a long one, but important and seemed to move along at the perfect pace. My sister and I were the only 2 of the 10 grandkids that got up to speak. My eyes were pouring buckets and my nose wouldn't stop running. I even SNORTED into the microphone trying to catch my breath. Funny now... mortifying at the moment it happened. So glad its behind us now, and we can go on celebrating her life, not mourning the loss.
So... HELLO to all the newbies. Welcome Welcome. As you will quickly find, this is the coolest batch of chicks around and we stick together challenge to challenge. You picked a good place to be. I look forward to learning more about all of you.
To the regular ladies ~ thank you again for your hugs, and well wishes. They mean the world to me! This group is truely givers in looking out for each other!
Nchellie - you are the personals queen and I am going to ride your coat tales this morning and simply say "Yah, what she said". Nice job! Glad you got some me time!

You girls got big plans tonight? BF and I are hanging at home, kid free, relaxing watching movies and hoping we make it to the ball drop. I am sooooo looking forward to uneventful tonight. I cannot describe how relieved I am this year is over!
JCat ~ again... nice work! Keep it up~

Cani ~ Welcome! Jump right in! We are all gonna pull it off together this year, I just know it. Welcome to the WOW Squad!
Bikini - I'm with you on planning for the barley pops I actually try to give my self some wiggle room to have one after dinner occasionally. Tonight will probably be no exception!
Mtiggie - Thanks again! And ROCK we will. I am holding you too it! I posted my starting weight pics on another thread and about barfed. But, its out there now and I have to work fast so the world wont recognize me! I cant wait to see if we are on the same BL team!
Nchellie, Lumi, Aud (in spirit), Ruth, Clykk, and OWITH
I hope you all have a fabulous day. I'll check back before the new year!
Yeah....dinner didn't stay down. Last time I barfed that hard I was a kid. However, since there's nothing in my system (well I don't think there is, my stomach is still rumbly) I lost a whole 3 lbs yesterday LMAO. That's not right, not permanent either, but dang....that was not fun.
I'm not fevery right now or pukey so I'm gonna try to go into work. Then again I don't have anything in my system, if I start barfin again I'm turnin around and comin home. What a way to spend NYE lmao!!!
Hi NMichelle....yeah...i'm back. I soooo fell off plan for the December challenge. Well...i guess you could say, i never really lost anything, but i didn't gain anything in december either. So...that's at least one thing to be thankful for. I mean, i did lose those 3 pounds of water weight but they come back when i don't drink enough water. And yeah, i saw that butt whipping that the Steelers put on the Browns. Sorry about that. :-)
Okay...so i am soooo onboard with this valentines day challenge. My goal will be to also lose about 7 pounds. I am thinking i want to be at 149 by Valentines. And...I have a plan!!!
I am paying off what i owe the Family y and going back!!! Yes!!! I still haven't figured out how i'm going to work it into my schedule...but i am!! Also, starting tomorrow, i am going to be trying to eat more healthy foods at each meal. Go back to the way i used to eat. I am going to clean out my fridge tonight if i have time, so i can go ahead and bake my healthy egg dish that i used to always eat with the onions and the brocolli and the fat free cheese...yum!! Also, i am back to carrying around my water bottle. So more water, no soda.
So, there's my goals.
1) drink 64 ounces of water EVERYDAY
2) go back to the gym at least 4 times a week
3) eat healthy foods and less processed foods.
4) also want to add in more strength training when i go to the gym.
5) lose 7 pounds by valentines (149)
I just got to get back into my size 4's comfortably again because i can't afford to go out and buy more clothes again (not that i bought many 4's to begin with). lol.
Morning Weedettes!
Glad to hear you are dealing with Grmas okay. Let's rock!!
sorry for the graphics, but i feel like crap 
Happy Last Day O' 2008!!!!
