I'm like that with every thing just sitting around. It's really annoying, but that's just a quirk of mine.

I have a touch as well...I do the same thing with the pantry..the canned goods and such. I am completely anal about my kitchen cabnets and how the dishwasher is loaded....If my husband loads the dishwasher I have to redo it....and if I'm cooking or something and I see that he hasn't put the dishes away correctly I have to completely reorganize everything. My worst problem is that I have a certain place and way I like all of my daughters toys put away. My husband just throws them in the toy box. OHHHH this irritates me to no end! I will just go off! He has learned to just let me do it....I have to have the laundry done a certain way in a certain order....we have had some huge huge arguments over this kinda stuff...in retrospect it is very small and truely not important and worth fighting over....so I guess it is just my way of having a touch of OCD...he says I'm just a control freak...LOL

Still here. Home life and work are breaking me down at the moment. Still haven't caught up on the threads, but wanted to say I'm around and I hope to be back here at latest on Friday ~ my day off ~ to reconnect.

Have a good day.


Don't worry about having to get caught up...just jump in where you can. Hope things calm down for you and you feel better soon! :hug:


Just logging in to post my loss for the day on my ticker. I'm sure surprised at how slowly the weight is coming off this time around. I have been cramping like TOM was gonna start for a week now...but nothing! I keep wondering if it isn't a bit of TOM or pre-TOM weight......guess I will just have to keep waiting it out to see!

I usually stall out the week before TOM! It is very annoying to say the least, but that's usually how I know he is coming.

So does anyone have a thing about laundry to? NO ONE is allowed to fold clothes but me. My ex would try to help, then I would just end up refolding everything he had folded. I was like you Mel. I wouldn't let my ex do anything, except fix stuff and take out the trash. Mostly everything done here needs to be done my way. My grandmother will come over and move things and it bugs me to no end and I haven't the heart to tell her not to. :lol:

At any rate, I'm up a smidgen, but I really over did my strength and core training yesterday, so I expected a water gain this morning as sore as I am. Gotta repair the damage. So you ladies have a great day. :)

Just popping in girls!

Eny, I am glad you have a social worker. I just wish you had more programs available to help with transportation in your area!

Did good today. I am kinda maintaining where I am right now. And it seems as if my brain REALLY wants some fast food. I see someone with Arby's and I think, "MAN, that smells good", or I see White Castle and think that would be great too. IDK what the issue is. Maybe I just need to go and get 2 white castles and see if the cravings go away!

Only 295 minutes to go till I hit the beach with you guys! I'm gonna put in 30 more minutes here in a little bit...just waiting on the sun to go down a bit...

Sweet! Great job Melissa on exercising your little heart out!! :) I'm just about to head out and mow the yard before it gets too hot.

I hopped in the scale this morning and it showed 211! :D Yay, I've reached my 4th of July goal. It also means I've lost 60 lbs total! Tomorrow is my official weigh in day, so I'm going to wait til then to send my weight to Eny. (Who I hope is doing better:hug:) Anyways, off to sweat some.

I'll play Eny today:

Weigh ins are Due Tomorrow (Friday) by midnight!!! Don't forget to PM Eny!

I'm definately about to have a visit from TOM so maybe that is why I'm stalled out right now. About your laundry question...YES! OMG! It is one of my worst. I like to do the laundry all in one day and get it done and put away so the laundry room is clean. I separate everything out and do whites, colors, and darks. My husband will just throw them all in there (except whites he does separate them), and he will NOT fold them when they are dry...he leaves them in there and leaves the ones in the washer there till they have to be rewashed because they smell all mildewed...so needless to say he is banned from laundry...but maybe that is what he was shooting for :?:

hello ladies!

ive been hiding but i wanted to come say hi.
i have been counting calories and OP since tuesday and i already feel much better. i hope to have an actual loss for weigh in this friday. but if not tomorrow than next week for sure. my life has simmered down there are no reasons i cant do this.

hope everyone is having an OP day

sprklemajik 06-25-2009 05:02 PM

Hi everyone, I survived the pushmower... I finally got finished about 10:30 am this morning and I can safely say that I started too late. I was sweating like crazy. Too much adventure. I also have just got to put away the TV remote, there has been an NCIS marathon on USA for the past two days and I've watched probably 16 hours of NCIS.... It's crazy to watch that much tv, but soooo hard to resist.

Alright, so I'm off to make dinner. I've been so excited about staying on plan this week. :) Victory is mine!

Is it strange to say, it feels like I've been gone so long that I forgot what this place looked like? I've been away for a few weeks while we were finishing up packing & moving all our stuff. I would have been on to check in, but our internet service decided that our new residence is in a blind spot, so nope. Now we're just in the cleaning stage so that we can get the deposit back on our apartment. I really miss being there. Now we're crammed into my GF's old bedroom at her parent's house. It's not bad. They're nice enough & we get free internet from them. However, I miss our privacy & our 900 sq ft. It sure as heck beat a 10x10 cubicle. I can't wait until the claim is settled & we get our money from the accident. I hope it's enough to get a manufactured home (or build a small inlaw's quarter's in her parents enormous back yard). If not, back to what we were doing-- apartment life ahead. :dizzy:

As a side note, I believe I've missed too many weigh ins to still be considered a part of this challenge. However, I'll still lurk around here a bit. Can't wait to join you all for the next challenge! ^^ By then I should be back on track & losing weight again, or so I hope..

McKenziesmomma 06-25-2009 10:23 PM

I'm only 145 minutes/miles from the beach! YAYYY!!!!!

Enygirl 06-26-2009 12:14 AM

Hey girls!

Sprkle - thanks for playing me! :)

I had an AWESOME day yesterday. Hunter and I drove out to our church camp and spent the ENTIRE day outside! I walked a TON! It was GREAT!!! I did do an intentional 2.5 hours of exercise this week so far - and I'm hoping that I can get more in tomorrow and over the weekend. It's getting increasingly harder to move my body! Plus the little man is lying sideways right now, which is causing all sorts of heartburn and acid reflux! YUCK! :p

I'm VERY excited to have my :bb: shower on Saturday! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Hunter's so excited too! I promised her that she could help with presents and such - so it'll be fun for her. Plus my mom is buying her presents of her own so that she doesn't feel left out. :) It's awesome! I can't believe that I'm SO close to the end!!! I'm going to have a TON of weight to lose with you girls after Landon's here - but I know sticking with you and keeping motivated is the key to all of this! I'm so glad I have you all!!!

Oh - I've only received 2 PM regarding getting to the beach - so if you've gotten there please PM me and I'll send you a sticker. :)

Alright - time for this little momma to get to bed! :wave: Remember to send in your weights too!!! TOMORROW IS THE DEADLINE!!!!

:wave: girls!

I got the dress for Sunshine's wedding today! It's actually kinda cute. The picture on the website did not do it justice. But....it's a little tight around the boobies. :( I could live with it but BACK FAT! Sooo I'm going to try to find a little jacket to go with it that won't have me sweating buckets at the wedding. I'm off this weekend so it's gym and mall. I want to get a official bra fitting and order a strapless bra for the wedding.

I posted a blog the other day and this girl actually thanked me for posting a pic of Whitney from ANTM (I was saying that if I had to be fat, I wanted to at least be proportioned like her). It kinda made me happy because most of the girls on Xanga are dealing with eating disorders (or acting like they are), trying to lose weight the unhealthy way and always posting pics of horribly bony girls. When I post pics, I always post pics of girls I find very attractive and healthy looking. So this girl thanked me, saying that it was nice to see that she could still be pretty even while big. :^:

I've watched Sleepy Hollow about eight times in the last three days. I don't know, I just keep rewinding it! :lol: Johnny Depp is walking sex. I also unpacked (yes, I still have alot of stuff packed!) some of my books and I started to reread a Harlequin book that I haven't read in a long time. It's actually one of the first romance books I've ever read, when I was 10. I think this book and some others helped start my fascination with cowboys. To this day, I still want my own cowboy, chaps and all. ;) :D TMI, sorry. :p

Whoa, this is more than I've written in a long time! Gotta get to bed. 'Night!

sprklemajik 06-26-2009 12:25 PM

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. I weighed in this morning at 211, I've hit my 4th of July goal. I'm super excited. :)

Come on Redcoats, everyone weigh in! Let's win this week!!!

Just checking in. Good afternoon everyone. It's sooooo hot today. DH and I have been out on the bike. I've had to down an extra couple glasses of water just to make up for the super hot day we're having. As soon as the sun goes down I'm going to head out and water and weed the garden, it's just too hot to do anything right now.

I hope everyone has had a great day.
