Oh, I was going to post something but i've decided to wait until after, and then I'll post. ;)
Sherry~I'm here, hon. :grouphug: You will be fine, i just know it. I looked for you on Yahoo... Ya, where is everyone? Did everyone have a Blessed Easter? Mine was fine. I missed my parents and brother, but i got some stuff done around the house that i wanted to and i felt good about that. |
http://www.wendysbackgrounds.com/Rel...hisonverse.jpg Hi! I'm here too, but for just a moment... my Joe is off today and we are heading out the door within the next 15 min. I will be on tomorrow, after I get home from my Curves class, to post to everyone. I have some pictures to bore you all with too :) *~*~* Hi SHERRY - Wishing you well tonight! I know it will all work out just fine and then you'll think to yourself "what was I so worried about?" :lol: Thinking of you... you are probably already there from what you last posted ;) Hi MICHELE - :wave: Hi GARY - :wave: *~*~* :wave: Hi everyone... I will catch up tomorrow ;) Till then... *God Bless* :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Hi
Just found this thread and hope that I can join. |
Happy Day after Easter
Hello All! :wave:
Just wanted to check in and say Hello and say thanks for the welcome. My DH and sweet kiddies all loaded the van and went to visit the grandparents for Easter weekend. Lots of fun - but much to much food and chocolate - but when I weighed myself tonight when I got home I was only up 4 pounds and that is nothing unusual for the night time for me. I was really strict before I left for the trip and I will return to my old habit of eating healthy now that the food temptations are all gone - and I will continue to lose because I have the Lord on my side. :angel: He has been my source of strength with all the weight I have lost from the very beginning and just eating a few days off the normal routine is certainly not going to push me back up to where I started from. Anyway, just wanted to check in on you guys. Have a great evening and a blessed day tomorrow :grouphug: DeenieM |
Morning Friends...
http://www.wendysbackgrounds.com/Vic...sygirlwel1.jpg CEEJAY - Of course you may join us http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/tier/061.gif Just pull up your chair, come on in and tell us a bit about yourself... Hi DEENIE - So good to see you back and checking in... hope it won't be too long before you come back again ;) Sounds like your Easter Weekend was absolutely wonderful with your family and visits... don't you worry - you will lose those 4#'s before you know it! Allot of it I bet is just bloat from being tired and eating what you haven't in awhile. As soon as you get back OP (On Plan) you will see it come right off :) SHERRY - I sure do hope all went well with that game last night! I bet you surprised yourself and it all went smoothly ;) *~*~* Okay... I haveta run... I just thought I would take a look see before the hubby got home from his breakfast out with his buddies. I will be back after I get done with my Curves Class this morning to see how things are with everyone and to touch base with you all. Later everyone... {{{Hugs}}} :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Tuesday morning
Good Morning CEers!!!!!!:wave:
Well, it was a MAJOR learning experience!!! I just hope the next one is better. You see, for 2 weeks I have been begging for a rule book for Coach Pitch 8 and under. No one could give me one. The President, "Lori" told me they were ordered and hadn't come in yet. And I even got online and searched for one from the Texas teenage ASA division - couldn't find one. She told me she would bring me the scorebook last night, but I didn't like the chance she might not, so I bought my own at Academy Saturday, just in case. She told me the "rules" as she could remember them the other day and was at the game last night WITHOUT the scorebook!!! Then there's "Joe" who coached last year, considers himself the expert and who also happens to have a girl on MY team. So I have Lori and Joe constantly telling me the rules as we go, Oh, then there's "Jose" the umpire, who has HIS OWN set of rules!!!!! Lori is telling me it's this way, then Joe's saying no not according to the rules, which he whips out and then Jose is saying, No, that's not right, it's this way!!!!!! TOO MANY CHIEFS AND NOT NEAR ENOUGH INDIANS!!!!! Then there's Mellissa the other coach who was basically in the same boat as I was, since she's never coached this type team either. And we were throughly confused!!!! Well, everything seemed to be going along fine and then I decided to send my subs in. :yes: I do so, tell the ump, tell the other team, etc.. Then when we come back into bat, they start batting. Then one of my outspoken little girls wants to bat again and I tell her no, you're not playing right now, but when I put you back in, you can bat again. Then Lori speaks up and says, Yes, Sherry she does bat. And I tell her I have sent the subs in so everyone gets to play and she tells me that after you send in the subs, everyone bats then (all 13!!!!! every inning) and only the "IN" players play the field. WHAT??? Dumb me, "took out" the players I subbed for and "put in" the others. :nono: :nono: Nope, not in Coach Pitch 8 and under!!!! UGH!!! :eek: :yikes: :stress: :shrug: :rolleyes: :foot: :censored: :sorry: :rollpin: :dunno: Well, after ALL we didn't do badly. We did lose but the final score was 7 to 8. Under the circumstances, the game was a good one. The poor girls only did what we told them to, but everyone, well, almost everyone, had fun!!!! We practice again this afternoon. But at least now I kinda understand the rules. :lol: Gotta laugh!!! I was suppose to be able to relax and take it easy today, but now have 3 patients today with one out of town, and a manitory meeting an hour's drive away. So, so much for taking it easy!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I totally appreciate all your support!!!!!!!!! I knew all my ducks weren't in a row and that's why I was so nervous, and justly so. If the big ducks weren't organized, how was the little duck gonna be??? :shrug: Anyway, my eating has been HORRIBLE!!!!! I have been way OFF PLAN and hopefully can get it back!!! Gotta go, now and hit the shower. Will try to check in later this afternoon! |
Good Morning!
I just got back from my Curves workout and am enjoying my bowl of Optimum cereal. Yum! It felt great to be back there after a long weekend. Now, we're busy planning for our weekend away coming up. I am so looking forward to it. I picked up some Sante Fe marinated chicken breasts and plan to take along baking potatoes and a salad.
I had a great Easter weekend. All the meals I had to prepare went over well. I have so much ham leftover that I might have to freeze some. Oldest DS just came home yesterday from meeting his girlfriend's family. He really enjoyed himself and realized that meeting new people isn't really that scary. Now it's into exams for both guys and then to work!!! sunshinelady: I admire you for coaching. I was always a great fan or scorekeeper when my guys played. You'll get back on track eating wise. Don't give up. Deenie: I agree with Sunny. It's probably water weight. I'm feeling it right now to with having eaten ham and it being TOM. Give it a week. Just keep doing what you're doing. ceejay: Welcome! You can post as much as you want. Let us know a bit about yourself. Michele: It sounds like things are great in you life. Are you still doing SBD? Gary: Glad to see your long post. We've been missing them. Rylee is so adorable but I'm glad YOU are the one cleaning up after here. :lol: Sunny: It sounds like Curves is working for you too. I just got my tote bag for my 100th workout today. Quite exciting!! Angel: My prayers are with you and those you love. Sprout: How are things going with you? Hope to hear from you soon! Well, gotta go. I think I've missed somebody but my prayers are with everyone on this thread. I need all of you in my life. Thank you for being there for me. Have a great day! |

I did some solid and tie-dye and Joe likes to do stripes and plaids - So pretty! 4) Me with ALL 18 of our colored Easter eggs :) My eyes were so swollen!! I have allergies to mildew and it has been so hard on me with all the rain!! *~*~*~*~*~*~* |

I love the one of Joe coloring eggs and your kitty just watching him! How cute! You look so pretty, Sunny. Wish I looked like that with swollen allergy eyes! Love seeing your "space" too where you keep in contact with us. That is cool that you share so much with us. Thanks!

Me again...
http://members.tripod.com/~teaapot/chickflower.jpg Hi again... I do have 3 more pictures to share with you, but somehow the site wouldn't accept them... I will try later, maybe I posted too many right now :lol: I'll post them tomorrow sometime. **Don't forget to CLICK ON THE PICTURE so you can see it full size :)** *~*~* Hi SHERRY - I think you did wonderfully for not knowing what to do and having so many Indian Chiefs! I know what you mean... Joe & I have experienced that more then you will care to know!! But I think all-in-all... you did very well! :cp: You should give yourself a huge "pat-on-the-back!"!!! You are a better person then I - I would never have signed up for something like that. I am so proud of you for doing it and stepping out of your comfort for those kids! Hope your practice goes well this afternoon!! How is your health? Feeling any better:?: Hi MICHELE - Thanks!! You are so sweet! I am so glad you guys don't mind all my pictures :D Did you have a nice Easter? Did you enjoy your catch-up time? How have you been feeling these days?? How that back of yours? And your health? I pray for You (and Charlie) all the time... hoping that if he IS the one - that God will let you know without a doubt, so you will not be hurt again. Hi WILMA - So good to hear from you after the long weekend... sounds like your Easter was really nice!! I too went to Curves this morning... not near close enough to get my 100th class bag yet :o :bravo: for you!!!!!! :cp: It was a busy morning this morning... everyone wanting to exercise off their Easter goodies :D That's right! You and hubby are going away this weekend. I bet you are so excited! You both have a wonderful time!!! Hi GARY - You are so blessed to have such nice weather! We had some sunshine, but it is still cold here :( We are suppose to go into the 70's this coming Saturday :cp: I hope! I hope! I was going to go see "The Passion" again, but we just have had way too much going on with all our practices for Easter. I think we'll go again real soon before it is out of the theatre's... which I do not think will be all that soon :) It has grossed over THREE HUNDRED & FOURTY MILLION DOLLARS!!! I knew it would!! :D I told my Joe that when I read that Gibson put in 30MIL of his own monies in to get it out - that God would give him back 10fold! And he has and then some! Not to mention all the lives that have changed from the movie! God is so Awesome!!!!! I cannot believe how fast your pup, Rylee, has grown! Is she still eating your Angie's roses and I bet many other things too. She is a beautiful dog! Whoa... don't let her see my post... she probably thinks she's people and will be stunned to see she's not :o :lol: !!! I know allot of people that get their pets Christmas gifts and Easter baskets - nothing wrong with that... Joe & I have done it!!! Did you get one for Rylee?? Have pics? I love the pictures... keep 'em coming! How was your Easter with the family, Gary? I bet you had a wonderful day enjoying your family and friends. Our Bread was marvelous!! We kept a loaf for ourselves this time and I made French Toast with it --- soooooo gooooood! I ate two of them and they felt like lead in my stomach afterwards, but I enjoyed it :D We only put out 6 loaves this year vs/ the usual 12 loaves. Joe & I had so much to do this year. Gary, we don't use any machines (although they are nice)... we do it all by hand and from scratch. That's the only way we know how and we love the process. I should have gotten pics for you - oh well, next time. Hi SPROUT - How are you feeling?? How was your Easter?? What did you do? Did you go to someone's home or did you have Easter dinner at home? Hi ANGEL - Still praying for you and your family... How was your Easter??? I sure do miss hearing from you these days. Have you done any more to the house? Hi CONNIE - Where have you gone off to again??? Hope you come back!!! Hi SAMI - How was your Easter??? Did you have the whole gang over or did you go to someone's home and get treated for a change? :) Hi SUE - You working hard still for "our" trip??? Which is getting closer!!!! How was your Easter weekend? Come back soon and fill us in on your days... it's been a long time since we've heard from you :o Hi AGGIE - Come back and tell us how everything went over your Easter weekend :) You too DEENIE & CEEJAY :) *~*~* I really must be going... I have allot of laundry http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_1_134.gif to catch up on and the washer has just stopped and the dryer is ready for another load... http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/3/3_2_114.gif not to mention the ones I have to fold and put away. *God Bless you guys allot* :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Sunny!~thanks for the prayers for Charlie and I. I have been doing a lot of praying too about it. We are getting closer everytime we are together. I'm finding myself thinking of him a lot....all the time. :love: I anticipate when i'll see him again. It seems odd, it's been a long time since i've had these feelings stirred in me again. It's really exciting, but i'm also realizing it's very scary. There's a part of me that's afraid to go there. But i'm not going to pull away, i'm going to let God take care of it. I don't want to be hurt either, but i'm willing to be vulnerable enough to find out if he's the one. My friend called me the other day and first thing out of her mouth was.....Are you engaged yet? I laughed and said, where'd that come from? She tells me i'll be engaged or married by the time i'm 40, which is just shy of a year away! Isn't that wild to think of?
I am feeling pretty good, my back is a lot better, but sometimes still nags me. I'm going for massage tonight, hopefully that'll help. My hip is aching, need to get to the chiro, but i'm just dealing with it. The worst problem i'm having is fatigue. The Epstein Barr is really a drag, so i'm trying to take care of myself. Last night i got some good sleep and felt a little better this a.m. I can tell it's bad when i sleep 8+ hours a night and wake up thinking, Oh, i want to stay in bed....it's a real drag. But my back not hurting daily is a big improvement. I feel that the healing service a couple weeks ago had something to do with it. Praise God! |

Hi! :wave: Here are the last of the pictures I tried to show you all that wouldn't upload the last time I was on for some odd reason... 1) Joe's sister, Annie holding her grandbaby Mikala, & the bunny we gave Mikala for Easter... she's not too sure about it ;) 2) Jadah (2yrs old) also a grandbaby of Annie's... she looks as if she just got off the boat! :lol: We were going for an after dinner walk and it was colder then we thought, so we were looking for anything to put on the kids heads to keep them warm --- isn't she adorable! 3) Mikala Rose (6mo) *~*~* Joe just called me - he's getting dinner & will be home in 30min., so we can make practice tonight @ 7:00, so I have to get myself in gear and get that shower out :o !! I just got off the T-Mill and walked 2.25miles, burning 306Cal/99Fat Cal for 1hour. Later everyone! :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
:wave: Hi Everyone,
A note about myself. I live in a small city in Arkansas and I'm a licensed water treatment plant operator. SunnyD-Always like to see pictures. I don't have the equipment to do all of that yet. Also like your Easter Chick. Not much time tonight. I'm catching up on laundry from the week-end. I went to my sister's in South East Missouri. Will try to address everyone tomorrow night. Have a good evening. weight now-184.0 (thought it would be more especially after the week end) goal weight-130.0 Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. NIV |
Hello All,
Sounds like everyone had a wonderful weekend. I too had a wonderful weekend, it was too wonderful!!!! I got way off plan and now I have to get back on, that is so hard. Why do we do such foollish things. I could just kick myself!!! I really enjoy all the posts and am still trying to get to know everyone. I love all the great animations, I am such a udffus when it comes to computers, but I am thankful I can post and do email and such. The weather here in south Texas hass been great the past few days, dry and a little cool, I am thanking God for this blessing. I am dreading the heat and humidity that comes with summer. But I have many other blessings and I must not forget to count them. God Bless You All. aggie |
However I need better command of the keyboard hehe!! thats duffus!
|
Wow it took awhile to catch up. Sorry I have been MIA but I have been on the run a lot. I feels so good to feel better. I got my exercise bike and have been riding away!!!!! I still have pain after using but I am going to keep on working out..... I also have been tanning after working out becausse the heat really feels good on my back and hips. The plus is I am really getting dark. Today the Big boss looked at me and said losing weight and all tanned too who are you trying to impress? I said that would be my husband! We had a great Easter we did the Easter Breadfast and then went to my mother-in -laws and had a great time. My DN also has fibromyalgia so it was good to get some Ideal on coping form her. I can tell that the healthy eating and the workouts are making me feel better.
Sunny-I can't belive the pet store said the fish could be in the same bowl. I love your pictures!!!! I have 170 pictures on my camera I have to send some more to be posted. I want everyone to see my puppy. You are my true hero with your great weight loss! I am not going to WI until I go to the Dr. in 4 more weeks. I am praying I see a big loss at that time. (I am scared if I get on and haven't lost as much as I think I should I might get discuraged) I keep telling myself It is all about getting healthy. I have been eating a salad everyday to increase my fiber and my IBS is doing so much better. And with working out I am not hungry anymore. But I still eat 3 meals and 2 snacks. Sherry-You did great!!! Sorry I wasn't here for you. I will pray for kaci My Staci is in the same boat. she is so pretty (looks just like Julia stiles) but she goes through depression. A year latter she is doing so much better. I will be praying for her and for you. So glad your team did so well. Mitchypoo-Charlie sounds like he is a good guy. I can understand why you feel like you have to be careful. I will keep you in my prayers! You just let Charlie know you have friends from all over and we don't want our friend hurt!!! My Dr. put me on b-6 3x a day and it does seem to help. Maybe you can try that it can't hurt and it is cheap! Wilma-So glad your son had a great time. Isn't it fun (and sad) to see them through another stage in life? Ceejay52-So glad to have you! What kind of Diet are you doing? I think you will really love the prayers and support here. DeenieM-So glad to have you pop back in. I know you will get back OP. I have been bad for two days. I love peanut butter eggs and of course I got some for easter. I let the kids have all the rest of my candy but not my peanut butter eggs! Ez-Thanks for your kind words. I think seeing this Dr. who understands how I feel has really helped a lot. And think the time is right after seeing the Passion of the Lord my heart is closer to the Lord. And I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I told the Dr. I am willing to do anything to get better so I am willing to be in pain to gain more strength. When I walked out of work today the weather had turned cold and windy (and cold makes me ache) but I felt so good to feel the wind against my face I feel a freedom I have not felt in a long time. I know I have a long way to go but for the first time I feel I am really going to do it this time! Sprout-your post are sure up lifting! I am so glad you found a place to workout. How did your check up go? AngleLover-How are you? I am praying you and your family are doing well. With all the unrest over seas I think about your DD's FIL. So glad your SIL is home. I hope you had a Blessed Easter. Aggie-I am still learning even though I use a computer at work all day long I have someone on hand to help when I get into trouble. At home when I ask for help my teens take over the computer! Looking forward to getting to know you better. Sue-How was your Easter? I forget when is the trip? My neighbors DD lives in alaska and she sent pictures it is a winter wonderland. I pray I have not missed anyone. My Prayers go to all of you I Thank God for your Friendship daily. |
Morning All
Good Morning Gang!
I am feeling better today - still up 3 pounds but at least its not 4. I drank water like a fish yesterday and I also got to walk 2.8 miles in 50 minutes. That helped me feel better and less sluggish even if I didn't lose all that water weight. I really need to go to the grocery today and buy some non-salty foods. I have a real problem with sodium and it shows so easily on the scales and even though I was OP yesterday and didn't overeat - I still had salty stuff and I can still feel the bloat this morning. :moo: But I refuse to be defeated by this little set back like I usually am - because I know my God is bigger than any of this and I am relying on Him fully. I really liked the verse from Prov. 16:3 that CeeJay had posted with her message it really spoke to me this morning - I am committing all that I do to the Lord and He is always faithful! :sunny: I have promised myself not to step on the scale again until Friday which is my WI day :goodscale so that is the plan. I must confess to being a scale addict!!! I am still trying to read and catch up with all of you but I have not gotten back to thread 181 to finish reading about you guys. I am really looking forward to getting to know each of you in the coming weeks. I will keep you all in my prayers! In His Love, DeenieM |
Meant to add this to my other message
SunnyD - how beautiful you are!!! :queen: and what a wonderful job you did on those eggs :cp: - looks like you had fun!! Have a great day!

Aggie~I like udffus better, it made me laugh! Thought it was a "Texas term"! ;) Glad you had a great Easter and are posting with us. And about getting back on track, just remember, you are never behind. Just start where you are, jump on and pray!
Valerie!~ Welcome!! So glad you joined us! I love your signature with your weight up there, you and Sunny are so clever! Maybe i can copy you two! Deenie!So proud of you that you are not giving up. It can be discouraging, i know, but you have a good attitude. Sunny! What a cutie those kids are! Wow you are busy with your workout/church/hubby schedule! I think it's so endearing how you are about your Joe! What a lucky couple you are! My massage therapist asked me last night if i was in love! :love: She said that i look happy......and you know, i am happy! Yesterday i took a big step and I fasted! And I did it. :cb: I went the whole day with the living water of our Lord. I had a coffee in the a.m. but then just water. It was an amazing experience and i learned a lot about me. And i feel closer to the Lord. Charlie had to have a colonoscopy today, say a prayer for him please. I asked him why and he said, "Well, I AM 45 years old..." Poor guy, he wasn't looking forward to it, but I'm hoping there are no problems. |

Are there any scheduled chats? :grouphug: |
http://members.tripod.com/~teaapot/eggtree.jpg Good Morning CER's :wave: I just got home from Curves ad the sun popped out! Such a beautiful sight!! We are suppose to get into the 70's by the weekend... we can only hope :D I am so looking forward to the warmer temps and we seem to be waiting forever for it to happen. Anyway, it was great to see it this morning after my workout. I will walk my T-Mill later this afternoon for an hour (do that everyday) and then maybe take a stroll this evening with the hubby after dinner. http://members.tripod.com/~teaapot/eastermultibar.gif Hi CEEJAY - Thanks! ;) I am a huge picture taker and love to share them... I also love seeing everyone else's!! It's just great seeing what everyone looks like. That's what I did yesterday --- tons of laundry, from not being home much last week. Even though it is just the two of us we had allot! I have workout clothes everyday for starters... I am almost done just have 2 more small loads to do. I look forward to getting to know you, CeeJay. Loved that you posted this... Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. NIV Thanks! Hi AGGIE - Don't beat yourself up for going off plan - it is going to happen on the holiday's... I plan on it :) Then I just enjoy the day all the more and get right back OP the very next day. When I don't feel guilty about a few "fun foods" I don't eat everyday, I enjoy them more --- you know what I mean. Glad you like all the fun pictures we add - the graphics and animations, they are fun to add. Hi DEENIE - So good to hear that you are feeling better today :) Yep... sodium is our enemy :o I cannot eat too much sodium either or I too look like a blow-fish by that evening... I use allot of salt-free spices by McCormick in my cooking and feel tons better!! I also drink anywhere's from 70 - 100oz of water a day, it is really helping me in my weight loss. Deenie, just a tip I learned last month ~ when you walk your T-Mill ~ if you want to lose BODY-FAT go slower and longer in time. I don't get in the mileage I use to but I see the fat leaving my legs!! I go for an hour at about 2.0 and get in about 2miles or just over. I begin at 1.5 and then after 7 min or so move up to the 2.0 and leave it there. Also take slow deep breaths every few steps to keep the oxygen flowing (burns body fat also). I learned this from Michael Thurmond - the trainer from the makeover shows. I got his program from the net and it's great! Allot of great exercise & diet info. You have a wonderful outlook and I know you will do well! I think you are wise to not step on the scale too often - I do once a week for weigh-ins at another forum I belong to. *Prayers* for your success in having an OP day :) Oh... Thank you so much for the compliment. That is so nice of you to say. I just love taking & sharing pictures with everyone. Glad you didn't mind ;) http://members.tripod.com/~teaapot/bdhsewel.gif VALERIE - There's always room for another :) :cp: Congrats on your 28# weight loss :cp: You are to be commended!!! That's hard work! :bravo: Keep up the wonderful job! Hi GARY - Thanks for checking in... love seeing that you are still reading and keeping up with us. We sure do not want to see you go :o You always make us feel so 'Special' being you are the only guy here and that you are a sweetheart to boot ;) Oh... not to mention "Good Looking" too :D Morning MICHELE - Thank you so much... we realy do think of each other as the best of friends as well has loves. I pray everyday that we are able to live our lives out together and that when we go ~ it will be 'together' when the Lord takes us all up ;) Isn't that so sweet!!! Your therapists noticed you are "in love" :love: I feel so honored that you have encluded all of us in this special relationship of yours, Michele... That is so great that you fasted... whoa, I cannot remember the last time I did that. And with all that I do in workouts - don't know that I should. But I think it's wonderful that you were able to - I hear that you feel very cleansed afterwards. Good for you! I will say that *Prayer* for your Charlie, Michele... I know how uncomfortable that process is. Joe & I have to have it done again in Jan/05 - yuck! I'll pray that his test comes out totally clear of any health problems. http://members.tripod.com/~teaapot/eastermultibar.gif I really must be going... have to get a bite to eat and get that laundry finished up... Later you lovely people! :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Weekly checking in time
I am feeling so good today :)
I started at a new gym last week - Hooked on Paces - and as of today have completed 4 workouts. And (drumroll please) I have lost 2 pounds this week :) Feeling so good about that - now just to keep it off and do the same for next week. Bought 2 things for myself today - a foot spa which I have wanted for years - and a 'stepper'. Will be using the 'stepper' when I do my walking to the tapes when I am not at the gym. My daughter (age 15 - she is handicapped - has Down Syndrome) also needs to lose some weight so we are going to be doing the tapes and stepper together. Also went for my 1 mile walk today before going to the gym. This makes 744 miles walked total. Am praying that next week's reporting time will be just as good. I have set a goal since starting at this new gym last week - joined it for 3 months from April 10 to July 10 - and am working on a goal of min. 15 pounds lost with a max of 30 pounds by then. I am off to a good start - just need to really stay motivated. |
:wave: Hi VALERIE - I have never given it a thought as to getting the newest post - I just subscribe to the thread and I get an e-mail to let me know when I get a new post. I think you can check though your Options to check that off... Go to your User CP (at the top of this page in purple) - once there click on EDIT OPTIONS (at the left side) and read all that's there for options and check off what you want. As for chats - so far not many here have the time for chats and haven't ever done it. If someone has... they will let you know, okay ;) Hi SPROUT - :bravo: on your 2# loss!!!! :cp: So wonderful to hear how well you are doing with the new place of exercise... you are proof that you just keep trying things till you find what works for you. :D And it's wonderful that you are working with your daughter, bet she loves it! Keep setting those goals!! It has worked wonders for me! *~*~* Okayyyyyy... where is everyone???????????? *God Bless* :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
I'm here, getting ready to go home. It's so beautiful out! Poor Charlie, they scheduled him wrong and he has to drink that yucky stuff again tonight and fast and have it done tomorrow... :( We're getting together this Friday! :cb: :love: Not sure yet what we're doing...don't really care as long as we're together.
Lagging in my goal to drink a gallon of water today, will have to finish that this evening, but my food is really good today! I only ate 1/2 my lunch, because i was full and thought i could have the rest for dinner. I should go walking tonight, let's see if i can make myself when i get home. Tata for now! :wave: |
Hello Friends...
Thanks to all who are still praying for me & family. Sami...I appreciate you asking about me. We're really having a struggle in every way, right now. I'm sleeping very little. Most nights, I get up after DH & DS are asleep...& stay on pc most of the night. I get a treatment Monday...so, I'll probably get a couple of days sleep in, then. I'll be ready for it, I'm sure. I DO care about all of you, & would like to post more. I read each day. I guess I could post at night when I'm not able to sleep. I'm spending the time researching, though....trying to find ways to help DS. Thank you Sunny...I'm enjoying all of your pictures...Also, Sherry's. Goodness, I enjoy everybody. God bless all of you........http://www.godserver.com/images/angel22.jpg |
I'm here SunnyD. After work went to the gym and didn't get home until 8 p.m.
valerie- hi i'm new also. Still no time to post. I work 12 hour day's and after gym work I'm ready for bed. Age may be a factor in that also. :lol: Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed. |
Blessed Morning! I am still doing the bike................ But I have to say it is kicking my butt! LOL I am so out of shape my legs start screaming after 2 min. Sunny thanks for the advice about going slow and longer I am trying to do that on this bike. The Dr wants me to do some stretching while I ride but seems I can't do two things at once! LOL Mitchypoo Prayers going your way for Charlie! It is so good to hear you so happy!!!! Ez post when you can! Angel Lover take care of your family and yourself we will be here when you can post and you will stay in our prayers. Ceejay52 Wow 12 hr days. How do you have time to work out? Sprout praying you WI goes well!
Today is my workout day with the trainner so I will be dead later. LOL I woke up real stiff today so it will be a tough time. I will try to post Friday! |
Good Morning
Sami: I am so proud of you! You are my inspiration to get off my butt more. Don't be discouraged about not being able to go a long ways right now. You'll notice an improvement if you keep at it.
Michele: I'm praying for Charlie too. I think it's so neat that you are getting closer in your relationship. I feel very blessed to have been married to mine for 25 years. We are really good friends and love to spend time together! Ceejay: Glad to see you posting. I only work 8 hour days and sometimes don't have time to post either. Come when you can! Angel: Please know that you are being lifted up in prayer. We can't imagine what you're going through but God does and He cares about you. Stay strong. We know you can't post as often as you would like but we do appreciate the updates so we know how to pray for you! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Sprout: Way to go on the weight loss. WOOHOO! Valerie: Welcome and congrats on the amazing weight loss. It also looks like you know how to post here and you can do that as often as you like. Gary: HELLO! How's it going? I know you're really busy but we do miss you!! Well, gotta go to work and tonight I pack for our weekend because we leave after I get off work tomorrow. Have a wonderful day. |
Thursday morning
Good Morning CEers!!!!:wave:
http://www.wtv-zone.com/MACSGAL/notes/rayofsunshine.gif How is everyone this morning? Sorry I didn't get to post much lately. I have been SOOOOOOO busy! Tuesday was spent in meetings, doing visits and softball practice, Wednesday doing visits, taking Kelli to the Dr and counselor all out of town. So, that brings us to Thursday where I have a couple of visits and softball practice this afternoon and an afternoon of REST?!?!!! I have to work a lot tomorrow as well as the weekend, and I need to rest so I won't over do it. I'm very tired this morning while posting and sipping my :coffee2: I do have a Praise the Lord~ though, we have been hunting for an inexpensive vehicle that wasn't junk for Kelli for several months and my dh found one yesterday (from a friend of ours) and bought it. It's not the "sports car" she wanted, nor the "old lady's car" she didn't want but a little Ranger Pickup in pretty good shape. The owner had just spent $600 fixing a few minor things and buying new tires for it and then decided to get his son something else. :cp: :dance: :flow2: :cp: NO MORE SHARING A VEHICLE!!!!! (continued . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .) |
http://www.harrythecat.com/graphics/b/sun22.gif Good Morning! :coffee2: I have already gotten in my hour of walking (5:30 - 6:30am) on the T-Mill (walking 2 miles)... I don't go fast, I go long. I must say though - that last 10 min or so seems to take forever! Now all I have to do is get in my Sculpture Bands this morning and I got my hour and 1/2 of exercise in for the day. We are suppose to have some nice weather http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_6_1v.gif the next few days here - I sure hope so! The sky is very clear and blue this morning - so nice to see :sunny: !!! I am tired of hearing my furnace start up this time of the year. It may get up to 65* today and if it does I will open some windows and freshen it up in here. They are calling for temps into the 70's by Saturday... ! Fingers crossed ! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_14_36.gif Our flowers are beginning to open up too! It's so hopeful isn't it & beautiful!?! But yesterday when I went out to go to my Curves class I had to clear about 1/2 inch or so of ice and snow off the jeep --- jeeeesh! It melted, but I was worried about the daffodil's http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_14_18.gif that were beginning to open up... they were all bent over. But they look okay this morning - I know they are pretty hardy. *~*~* Hi CEEJAY - WoW!!!! 12 hour days!! I agree with Sami, "when do you get in your workouts and time for yourself!" Hope you have a beautiful day today! Hi SAMI - Always good to see you and I especially love to hear of your progress! You should be so very proud of yourself! Make sure you take the time to stretch your muscles too - or you will hurt longer then is necessary for the change and growth of your muscles. But I don't know about doing that while ON the bike :o !! I would love to have a trainer... maybe one day I will look for one too. Does he or she come to your home? How much are they? (if you don't mind me asking you that :o ) Hi ANGEL - So good to hear from you again... I do hope that the treatment will help you get the rest you need and that you feel better soon. Your son and his family as well as your family are all in my continued *Prayers*... I lifted you all up this morning special! Hi MICHELE - Come back soon and let us know how Charlie does today... what a bummer that he has to go through all that again! It's bad enough once! Sounds like you are doing well with your plan... did you get in all your water? Some days are easier for me then others - it all depends on what I have to get done in a day, you know. I drink anywhere from 70oz to 100oz a day. Hi WILMA - So very good to hear from you! You sound like you have been very busy as well! I posted to you... did you see it on page 4??? Have you still been going to Curves with your long hours? I am due for another weigh-in and measure next week on Wednesday (4/21)... I know I will not see a huge weight loss because I have been weighing in all along, but I am hoping to see allot of inch loss... we'll see. I always fill up with anxiety when it's time for me to get that done :dizzy: *Have a wonderful time on your weekend together* *~*~* :wave: "Hello's" :wave: to everyone else... come post soon! Well, I must go get the Sculpturing Exercises done for today. Love you guys!!! :sunny: SunnyD *~*~*~*~*~*~* |
Sherry
Hi SHERRY - http://www.harrythecat.com/graphics/b/sun2.gif I'll be back to post to you later, okay. We seem to have posted at the same time :lol: Great Graphic and Verse!!!!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~* |

Hey, I'm back . . . . .
http://www.angelfire.com/ky2/kuntry/bees/bee2.gif http://www.angelfire.com/ky2/kuntry/...shivehoney.gif Wilma~ I'm SOOOOOOO excited about your weekend!!! Wish I could go. . . .uh. . . . .but then that wouldn't be the weekend YOU wanted then. :lol3: I'm so glad you are doing that. That's the weekend, I want for MY birthday!! Although we normally go camping at the lake with our kids, their kids, and whoever wonders up. :lol: We will miss you, but enjoy it!!! Sami~ Wow, I'm like Wilma, you are kicking butt!!! So proud of you my friend!!! Thanks for posting a little every day that helps us know how you are doing! You are definitely an inspiration!!!!!! :strong: :jig: Ceejay~ Glad to see you posting even with your schedule. Take care and post when you can!!! What do you mean AGE might have something to do with it??? Surely not! :lol: I will not admit that one!!:lol: Angel-lover~ You are still in my prayers!! I will pray a little differently that you can have rest, answers, hope and peace. We know that God is a GOOD GOD that he will deliver you and your family through this. In HIS time. That's the hard part. But you are doing YOUR part in giving it to HIM and praying without ceasing. {{{HUGS}}} :grouphug: We are always here for you!!!! Michele~ So you have THAT look in your eyes, huh? :love: I think it's wonderful!!! I realized while reading your posts that you and Charlie are doing something that is ever so important with each other. Praying together. That is one of the MOST IMPORTANT steps any couple can make together. Sorry, to hear about the scheduling problem. Yuck!! I think THEY ought to have to drink it too, don't you? :lol: Congratulations on the fasting! And the gallon of water! I would NEVER get out of the bathroom! :lol:[ {continued . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .} |
Quick morning hello!
Good Morning to All!!! :wave:
I am really excited this morning to report that those pounds are gone from the weekend!! I am back to where I was on last Friday! I did not exercise yesterday because of various things I had to get done - one being a major grocery shopping trip and some catch up with the laundry after being gone all weekend - plus church last night - not to mention just being lazy - haha!!! But good news is - those weekend pounds are gone and now I can look forward to losing some more pounds by the end of next week. DH and I have an anniversary trip planned for June 8-11 :cloud9: and my goal is to be in Onderland by then even if its only 199!! We are going to Gatlingburg,TN to stay in a cabin and we want to go hiking and doing alot of activities(I really want to canoe down the river) that I couldn't do before because I was so heavy. So pray for me to continue striving for that goal. I do not believe that 11 pounds in 7 weeks is too much to lose! SunnyD - thanks for the advice on the t mill - I have been trying to slow it down alot because I also saw that advice from Michael Thurmond on the makeover show. I have been walking so long though that I have to get it up around 2.9 mph or so to get my heart rate in the fat burn range of about 120 - 130 but I try to go for a longer distance at a slow rate as best I can. I don't try to kill myself I will assure you :lol: !! :grouphug: To everyone else - I pray for you to have a wonderful day as BIG LOSERS!!! That's what I'm striving to be - first time in my life I have wished to be a LOSER! But being a loser in this game is the real victory! Everyone try to get that water in - I always strive for at least 70 oz. a day - I can usually drink that much without exploding :p ! Hope to hear from everyone soon! DeenieM |
[size=3]I'm back. . . . . . http://www.angelfire.com/me4/brixi/GIFS/BRDFLYFLWR.GIF
Gary~ Always good to hear from you even while you're passing through. You are ONE BUSY MAN!!! Or maybe TWO or THREE. :lol3: :lol: Have you gotten all the wood out of Rylee's teeth yet? It's a job, just keeping that pup out of trouble, if she's like ours. :yes: Sunny~ Wow, 1 hr walking!!! That's is SOOOOOO GREAT!!! Glad to hear you are getting some nice weather. We have too the past two days, suppose to start raining again on Sunday. Maybe not with 40 degrees like last weekend. Your pictures were cute and your eggs were GREAT! Thanks for the Pat on the back with the softball! I did think under the circumstances that we did really well. We have another game tomorrow night and I pray that it goes much better. At least now I know a little more as to what to expect. :yes: Will practice again this afternoon and hopefully every little bit will help the girls too. Tuesday's practice, they weren't really there (bodies present but minds somewhere else.) So, it will be work tonight. :yes: Sprout~Congratulations on the TWO lbs!!!! WOW 744 miles!!!!! You are really doing good!!! Keep up the good work!!! I had never heard of Hooked on Paces, but if it works for you, then that's what you should do. And I have to say, I've very proud of you exercising with your daughter!!!! That is the main reason I took on coaching the softball team, was the exercise. And main, it's a job!!! Valerie~WELCOME and CONGRATULATIONS on losing 28lbs!!!!!! :cp: :bubbles: That is AWESOME!!!! Please come by as often as you like and post. This is a wonderful bunch of folks!!!! Lately it's been a little hard to keep up. :yes: But I love it!!! Glad to have you!!! Aggie~ I also like udffus better than duffus. :lol: We have all been there. :) I am thanking God for our beautiful weather here in central Texas too. :D It's been so great the last two days, but I do dread the heat the summer months bring. :yes: Don't beat yourself up for what has already happened. Just begin new each day and ask God to help you be true to yourself and stick with your plan. He is a GOOD GOD!!! I am having the same problem. I start out good but somewhere along the way, I get too busy to ask for God's guidance and I seem to fall in the ditch. At least, my ditch is not as deep as it used to be. Deenie~I know all too well what you mean about the salty things!!! That's my problem right now is fluid retention. I'm up a few lbs and it's all because I have been so busy and not planning my intake well. I drank a diet soda yesterday and it was like I poured it into my fingers and lower legs. :nono: You think I would learn. So glad that you got rid of those lbs!!! I was going to tell you that I was raised outside of Memphis. I actually was raised out toward Arlington, between two little towns - Bolton and Brunswick and then after I got married, lived in Bartlett. I miss that area. My brother and SIL live in Germantown and my niece and family live in Cordova. I also have lots of family in other parts of TN. And I would love to go back to Gatlinburg with you!!!! Oh, I love the mountains and Gatlinburg. I have family not too far from there too. :( Wish it wasn't so far from me. But hope you have a WONDERFUL time!!!! Small world. Good to have you here. Hope to hear from you frequently. Well, guess I do need to do SOME housework today. The Lord knows it's not gonna go away without me doing it. :no: I hope I haven't missed anyone, I surely tried not to. But we have had so many posts lately, it was hard to go back and forth in posting. {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} to everyone!!! Have a GREAT Thursday!!!!! Cya later! |
Sunshinelady - just wanted to add that it is great that you are coaching this team for your daughter. I don't have enough courage to get out in front of people and do something like that - I don't mind doing other things but sports stuff is just not my area of comfort. I do however have a DS who is playing coach pitch baseball on our church team. I have to take him to practice tonight becasue DH has a Greek test tomorrow and must study. He attends Seminary in Germantown(that is where he is working on his Masters of Divinity) but we go to church in Memphis. I have been too all those places you mentioned in your post and am very familiar with all of them - it is a great place to live. Inner city Memphis is being abandoned like a burning ship though - people are moving out everyday because it is getting so bad! They are moving to Germantown and Cordova and Bartlett and even North Mississippi because taxes and crime rates are so high! I am really looking forward to the Gatlinburg trip - :cb: haven't been anywhere by ourselves in a long time and sometimes taking trips with the kids is more work for me than staying home!! God bless and have a great day!

Here's a email that I got this morning that I thought was really good.
http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_34.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_10.gifhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/17/17_1_28.gif The Holy Alphabet Although things are not perfect Because of trial or pain Continue in thanksgiving Do not begin to blame Even when the times are hard Fierce winds are bound to blow God is forever able Hold on to what you know Imagine life without His love Joy would cease to be Keep thanking Him for all the things Love imparts to thee Move out of "Camp Complaining" No weapon that is known On earth can yield the power Praise can do alone Quit looking at the future Redeem the time at hand Start every day with worship To "thank" is a command Until we see Him coming Victorious in the sky We'll run the race with gratitude Xalting God most high Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but... Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad! "I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen. PS: GOD LOVES YOU...PASS THE WORD ON TO MORE FRIENDS AND ASK THEM TO CONTINUE TELLING OTHERS THAT GOD LOVES THEM TOO. JUST THINK OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT COULD BE REACHED OUT TO AND BLESSED WITH THESE WORDS. |
Hi all :wave:
Had lunch today with my old boss and the girls in the office. Was nice to see them and catch up. Had an interesting call last night from the guy in Alpha that I hoped would ask me out. He finally called and we talked for quite a while. Asked if i'd come over for a BBQ sometime. I said yes.....but now confused if i'm not being right with Charlie. Well, we're not committed, so I have to just see what happens. Perhaps i'll never see him after all. It's awful being single and figuring this all out. I don't want to mess anything up, so i'll have to go with my gut. Will try to post individually later, but know that you are all very dear to me and in my prayers! :grouphug: |
