Hi kate! Welcome! :)

Hi gals, just a quick check in because this week just keeps getting crazier - big deadline at work, some kitty issues, my house is still in chaos due to the bathroom reno. I overate on Sunday but did better yesterday. I also got in two workouts yesterday, so that was good.

I'll catch up with everyone later!

Jazzy Good job on logging even though you weren't feeling it. Great loss! :)

smoo Great buffet will power! I used to feel like I had to eat a lot at buffets to "get my money's worth" but realized that I enjoy myself a lot more if I just eat a tiny bit of a variety of things, and like you said fill up on a salad. I decided what I'm really paying for is the variety not volume.

tamanna The sale drags sometimes, for no good reason. Just stick with it and it'll happen.

Rabbit TOM always makes me hungrier too. Good job on getting exercise in even though you weren't feeling well.

kate Welcome! :D

Steph Hope things calm down for you.

I started the bread and laundry this morning. Today is Hubby's Bday, but he forgot to take the day off, so he's at work. {I think his work friends take him out to lunch;)}. I've got KCM's Plateau Buster workout planned for today.

Kate, welcome, glad to have you join us.

Slightly OT: wow, PMS has never before hit me so hard! I'm extremely grouchy, grumpy, irritated and constantly feel like hitting something (or someone). I've never been so moody in my life... kind of scary really. :dracula:

*stomps away to hit an innocent pillow*

Grrrr...

Rabbit Hah, I get like that. Always makes me wish I had a sledge hammer and a few cinder blocks to smash. ;)

Checking in quickly for an OP day, as I hardly have time till I have to go off.

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Payless Shoes is having a BOGO sale and they are one of the few places that sell my size {10w-11} so I bought a pair of black loafers {which I really neded} and a pair of running sneakers with a waffle bottom. There's not much to them compared to my other sneakers but they are fun and support my foot well. Google Image Result for http://www.payless.com/images/490x490/125535_4_490x490.jpg Mine are black. I wore them for todays workout and they aded to the balance work but at least I could blame the shoes for tipping over.

Penguin Those are really cute! I would've gotten them in the pink myself though. :D

Hello ladies.

I've been trying to log on all morning from my computer here at work with no success so this is a quick check in from the smartphone. I will do personals tonight.

Welcome Kate. Nice to have you join in the challenge.

Hang in there everyone and have a great day. So far so good with me. I've already done my Firm workout for the day.

No pink, just black.

They might have more choices online.

Wow, Penguin, I love those sneakers!

edit: Bunneh - yeah, I'm feeling a bit better now, but I was a moody beeyoch almost all day. Ugh...

I've had a pretty good day. I am in a lot of pain with my MS, so I modified my exercise today, but I still did it.

I was counting calories on LoseIt but it keeps locking up and freezing, so I have went back to Sparkpeople. But I have learned counting calories is working, so I won't be going back to WW at this time. I have got to stick with this. I see my 249 goal coming soon!

Good evening ladies,

Penguin - Your sneakers are cute! Bunneh I would have gone for pink or lime green :D

Peggy I'm with 'ya on the calorie counting. I cancelled my WW monthly pass last week. For now I am loving counging calories and it's workingfor me. Congrats on your loss this week and I hope your pain subsides soon.

I've had a very good day. I did my workout before work this morning because I had an appt at the hair salon after work. I didn't get done until around 8:15 and I was starving. I stopped at Subway and got a healthy sub. I usually get baked Lay's but tonight I didn't. I am feeling so strong :strong: and I just want to stay in this zone:cb:

I hope you ladies all had a great day.

It was nice outside this afternoon so I went into the backyard and picked up some branches that had fallen during the last storm, and did a little weeding.
