GOOD EVENING CHICKS!!
I have just come in from linedancing and I should be in bed getting my beauty sleep!! I only walked 1 mile today as I spent the morning shopping with a friend.

Lauri - I am concerned about Jen too but what can we do? Is there any way to get in contact with her? I don't think she is posting on any other thread but I will check after I post this. (Jen's last post was on 13 April and it was on this thread)

Billiesrosie - glad you didn't desert us and good for you getting out on your bike regardless of the weather.

To everyone else - hope all is well.

Take Care

Good Evening Ladies
Another busy day for me, and today was "Professional Assistance Day" so we took our assistance out for lunch, I did skip the dessert.. After work I went to the mall, got depressed looking at clothes, my normal routine is get depressed, stop & buy a cookie or two, but this time, I even passed on that. I came home and walked the dog, 1 mile tonight. Storms are coming so I headed back in. I wish our community center offered line dancing at night, that is something I would love to do. They offer it but it's during the day.

Mooz - Let us know what you find out about Jen.

Lauri - Way to Go on staying with your running plan. I know me, if it's that cold, I would of stayed in bedYOU GO GIRL

Billiesrosie - 2 lb loss - WAY TO GO

T-girl & Semo - hope you all are having a great day...

talk to you all tomorrow

GOOD MORNING CHICKIES.

I hate to admit it but I succumbed to some chocolate last night after linedancing but today I am back on track and raring to go!! I am going to get out my WW books and use some of the great meal ideas to try and get a bit more variety.

I haven't found out much about Jen except that the last time she posted was on 13 April and it was on this thread. Maybe she doesn't even come to this site anymore!
According to her profile she has a
Yahoo Instant Messenger Handle - dontaskme_y
and an
ICQ No - 62936233
I have sent a message to the ICQ no and one to the Yahoo Messenger and sent an e-mail to [email protected].(hoping that that was her e-mail address but it came back as unknown?)
I don't know if there is anyway you can get someones e-mail address fron this site??!!
I know Jen was having some problems getting to grips with eating the right amount of food - she was either eating too much or eating too little!! Does that ring a bell!! We have all been there to some extent!!
It would be great to hear from her again.

Patty - I know that feeling so much - trying on clothes and getting depressed and I have been doing that for years and it is so silly because we just need to get into a better WAY OF LIFE EATING PLAN that is suitable for us, and one that does not leave us feeling deprived but full of energy!!


Lauri - running at 6.30AM!!! WOW YOU ARE SOME PUP!! I can just picture you!! YGG

To everyone else - hope you are OP and feeling GRRRRRRRRREAT!!!




THA BEAUTY OF A WOMAN

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.


The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.


The beauty of a woman
Is not a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.


It is the caring she lovingly gives,
The Passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman with passing years --
only grows and grows.

Good Morning Ladies! Yesterday was terrible here, we had tornados all around us. One flatten a subdivision of 30 houses in a town about 45 min west of us, cars overturned on the highways. Thankfully no deaths but several injuries. Warnings were issued most of the day from noon until 9 pm with many funnels spotted and a few touch downs. So scary, we don't even have sirens here to give any warnings. So most of my day was spent looking out at the sky, the older I get the more frighten I get of storms.

Ate terrible yesterday too, nerves I guess. But atlas today is a new day and a new beginning.

Need to run but wanted to check in. Have an on program day!

Good Afternoon Ladies

Semo - I can relate, we had storms & tornadoes here two weeks ago. It can be very nerve wrecking. Luckily we do have the sirens and the tv is wonderful... They can tell you what areas the storms are headed and even what time. This is our tornado season, so I just keep a blanket, flashlight, bottlewater & a pair of ole tennis shoes in the spare bathroom. Just in case I have to get up in the middle of the night. I don't know if your town has the radio scanners. A friend of mine has one & she listens to those storm chasers. I know she got her at Radio Shack.. I'm glad to hear your safe though.

Mooz - Hopefully we'll hear from Jen... Sometimes are lives do get so busy..& with a small child & being byherself, missing her husband, that can be overhelming.

T-girl - good to hear from you... Sounds like you have got it under control. Stay focused.. you can do it..

Lauri - Hope your having a great day...

We'll ladies I know you have heard this before, but I have rejoined WW for the last time. This time I only gained 1.4 lbs since the last visit. This is it for me. I am going to make this work. I'm ready...

Good evening Ladies

Good Morning and TGIF, (and I think it's Friday for me too) it's pretty wet so I don't think I'll be working this weekend. Yea!! I feel great today and sounds as if every one else is too! I have to go to the caters tomorrow and check everything for the rehersal dinner. Mostly to see what type of decorations/flowers are needed. The wedding is getting close - May 25th.

T-girl, I just noticed on your location that you are soon moving to Virginia? Beening transfered? I hated living away from home when I was younger but think that it would be exciting now. You just need to remember this is an adventure.

Boss is in my office checking invoices, so guess I better get off here before he figures out what I'm doing.

Have a great weekend.

hello everyone OP today, all day!! I did tae bo, walked and weights ( short session) feeling great. Semo, I am actually from VA was stationed here in Texas and my husband is still here , but I am going back home to VA, I really miss my family! Well take care all!! Talk to you later!!

GOOD MORNING CHICKS!!
Just a quick call as I do not have a lot of time on a Saturday morning - lots of washing to do for my two 'kids' home from University for the weekend. I think they just come home to get rested, fed and clothes washed and off they go again for another hard week of studying!!(and if you believe that you'll believe anything!!)
I am eating OP and walked 4 miles yesterday. I really need to up my H20 as it helps to ward off hunger.

Gotta go now so take care all.

TRYING TOO HARD

When you visualize yourself as trying to do something, you're going to see it as a struggle. Yet when you visualize yourself as actually doing it, naturally and easily, beyond the trying, you'll have the genuine confidence to get it done.
Stop trying so hard and simply start to get it done. Stop striving and struggling against your own negative assumptions and start following your positive possibilities.

Remove the word "trying" from your vocabulary, and notice how much that one simple change can clarify your activities. Rather than saying or thinking, "I'm trying to get this work done" see what happens when you say "I'm confidently getting this work completed."

It makes a huge difference in your perspective. It helps you to see each action not as a desperate attempt, but rather as confident step forward.

When you're only trying, you're taking action without being fully committed to that action. When you decide to step up and actually do it, then you're committing yourself to taking whatever action is necessary.

Go beyond merely trying -- get up and get busy doing.

-- Ralph Marston

Hi ladies!!! I'm here!! Man, have I been busy!! We moved our practice from a single building to the 5th floor of the hospital on Thursday and Friday. We were closed for patients, but the phones and computers were up and running by 11:00 on Thursday. I got to wear blue jeans both days, which ALWAYS makes it easier to go in to the office LOL! I am going in for awhile today to help with last minute stuff like hanging pics and things like that.
We actually had about 6 pts walk in (which ticks me off anyway, I mean, do we look like the free clinic?) wanting to see a doc and I finally hung a sign on the door that said we were closed so GO AWAY. I swear, sometimes people just wear me out! Is it me or do people have more nerve now than ever? Anyway, enough complaining. I will see you all later. I think I have PMS LOL!!!
Trying to stay OP under stress is not easy LOL!! Will go run this off later today, inside. It's not very warm outside.
sees ya later!
