Well good evening girls! It only took me all day, but I'm here for personals!
Blondie~
Jerkwad is one of my faves!
Hope you had a great time this weekend with hubby!
Atlgirl~ :lmao: Oh man, how very typical of him!
Gotta love how a guy's mind works huh? Sorry to hear about the s'mores...I feel your pain! The kids love them and I've had to resist them just about every weekend since starting this in March! Don't fret over it too much--look at it as a learning experience! Now you know that you can't eat them just yet--and that's okay. You'll be able to one day. I'm still feeling like I can't cross that line yet too. I did go out and buy some low cal ice cream fudge bar things (only 57 cals each!) but I haven't had one yet...truth be told I'm scared that if I have one I might want another...and maybe another...Ack!
Jacqui~ I'm glad to see you posting hun! Sounds like you had a busy weekend! I'm glad to hear that you're not worrying about going OP and it sounds like you have reached a huge milestone! You've gotten over that 'ruining your diet' mentality!
I am very proud of you!
You're absolutely right too, this is a life journey and not only will we not travel it perfectly, but sometimes we're just going to have to stop and let loose once in a while!
Hope this gives your metabolism the jump start it needs to get back into the losing mode.
Lauren~ WTG with the positive attitude girlie! Hey, have you taken your measurements? Perhaps you're losing inches right now instead of pounds!
Tummy~ sorry to hear the beach was cold--that stinks. Glad that the kids still had fun though.
I've been having a hard time getting my calories in lately too--it's tough to eat when you're not hungry...Good luck on the upcoming vacations! That's going to be my toughest challenge too. We're heading to TX next month and I know we'll be eating out a lot...and my stepmom is a great cook...groan...but, they know I'm on a mission and my dad's been counting calories too so many it won't be too bad. I had to
at your 'dirt exfoliation' bit!
Super huge congrats on the lost inches girlie!! That's fantastic! I can't wait to see some pics!
Nello~ WTG on all those steps! You should be very proud of yourself!
Glutio~ how'd the cookout go? I hope it was a blast! Hear anything yet about hubby's job? How exciting! Ahh, I remember those days...glad we're settled now and not moving, but I do kinda miss the excitement of relocating and house hunting and stuff. Keep us posted!
Mmmm, Macaroni Grill! I love that place! I am soooo glad there's not one around here, or else I'd be doomed!
NSM~ aww, sorry about the house not working out. Sounds like you weren't really in love with it, I bet your perfect house is just around the corner. As for your question, this is our 3rd house and I'm not really sure. I mean, the first 2 times we bought we were on a time cruch (1st time was in CA during the whole housing boom--seller's market and the 2nd time was in Louisiana and we had 2 weeks to find a house so we just picked our favorite--definitely not our dream home) and this last time we had ages to look and just got sick of looking. Our house isn't our dream house or anything, but we love the location and the neighborhood is great! Our yard is huge and we're on a double cul de sac so our kids can have the run of the cul de sacs and I'm not fretting over cars zooming by or anything. You're bound to fall in love with houses that aren't perfect for you--we did, but it was way out of our price range.
Anyway, for us I guess it boiled down to what was best for our kids--safe neighborhood and street, great yard, etc. and what fit our budget and our family (size-wise that is). I hope you find the perfect house for you soon!
Hey, btw, you need a :buttkick: yet?
MasterDelphi~ sounds like you had a busy time re-arranging your room! I used to be like that too! Unfortunately I can't do much re-arranging now because our living areas are kind of small (especially my bedroom!) and there's only so many ways we can put the big furniture.
Sorry to hear about not getting PBS anymore! That's rotten! I thought those converter boxes were supposed to take care of all the stuff! Ugh!
Looking~ woo hoo! 3 Day weekends rock! Sounds like you were digging in my yard!
Clay, clay, clay and more stinkin' clay!!! Ugh! I'm so sick and tired of digging I could spit! Ah, but it's all worth it in the end isn't it?
Hope you had a great long weekend!
FSA~ Hey girlie! Glad to hear TOM is gone and has taken all the madness with him! You got your haddock! You must be sure to come here and gush about how yummy it is! Maybe then I'll get gutsy enough to try it! Sounds like you have lots of fun stuff coming up!
Lene~ how are you feeling girlie? Did the antibiotics do the trick? I hope so! I hope things setting down a bit for you soon! So have you been doing any HIIT at all? Hmm? Do you need me to go postal on you? Will that help?
I start Week 3 tomorrow--cutting my 'rest' period to 30 seconds--Eek! Wish me luck!
Jacque~ Woo hoo on the bikini! Wowza! That rocks!!!
Shari~ glad to see you girlie! Good luck with the job hunt! Congrats on the loss--now get yourself back in gear girl!! Come on! Let's go!!!
Susie~ Woo hoo! Congrats on the loss!
Well ladies, it was a long day. I woke up at 6:30 with no exercise to do so I baked blueberry muffins for the family. My youngest ds wanted fresh blueberries to make muffins with and turns out--he doesn't like fresh blueberries in his muffins!
Nobody but hubby did. I didn't try them, but they did get pretty good reviews from everyone (aside from the actual berries that is
). They were low fat and roughly 100 cals each, so I took their word for it and avoided them.
So, got in some more digging and shoveling and digging...seriously, I'm beginning to hate the site of shovels! Unfortunately that's all we did. By the time we got started it was late, then we had to come inside because of a storm (so we put the weight set together downstairs :carrot), then when we got out there it was super hot and humid. Ugh! Anyway, we got the prep work done so, weather permitting, I'll get the planting done tomorrow.
Other than that, nothing going on. I start Week 3 of my HIIT training tomorrow. I'm super close to making my June goal. TOM is still hanging around, but I did get a day and a half break from him for some reason (happens every month--if he's gunna leave for a whole day or more--why does he bother coming back?!?!
) and I hope he leaves soon so I can just get back to not worrying about him.
Well, that's it for me! Glad I got all caught up before tomorrow! Hope everyone had a great weekend and that you get great sleep tonight!!
See you all tomorrow!
