Pah - I'm married now, it doesn't matter! :lol: At least that's what they tell me ;)

I've had more serious facial injuries trampolining though - I scraped a load of skin off my nose and forehead attempting a somersault. So at least with kickboxnig I keep my feet on the ground. (most of the time)

Good morning all! Happy to be here today :). I am officially down 15 lbs today! And yesterday when DH drove by the pool home from work he stopped to say hi to me & boys, he said "wow, you're really on your way to a summer bikini body." It seemed like a really sweet and sponteous compliment :)

Kids & I are headed to the front flower beds for a morning of weeding~~woohoo~~joy, joy! If we finish, maybe back to the pool after lunch & nap, otherwise, we'll stick it out til it's done...

Hope all is well with you all...

Claire~I know what you mean about MySpace and what kids put on there. DD has a myspace, but hardly any info on it at all (I watch that one, too). I like to know what's going on in her head because there have been some troubles at her high school. Two sophomores have committed suicide this year--I just want to make sure DD doesn't have those thoughts. Her blog mainly talks about school and how poorly she is doing in some classes because she spends too little time studying. I also get an idea of who she likes/dislikes.

Dawnslight~glad to hear your Dad is out of the hospital. Hopefully he'll mend fast and be up and around in no time! Sorry to hear your weight is up, just stick with it--it'll come back down again.

Jen~oooh, a black eye! So sorry! Good luck house hunting!

Dagmar~glad to hear you're on your way home. How many dogs did you sit this time?

As for me, my weight is up a pound today (I thought it would do that). Going to lunch with DH today, so I have to be careful there. Tomorrow we're going to dinner for our 19th anniversary--got to be careful there, too!

Everyone have a wonderful day!!

Man this week was nice it is rainy and dreary now. With all the water I was drinking this week I have gone up. My low was Sunday 133 and my high today is 137 (I just couldn't get enogh water yeasterday) but I have benn staying about 134 most days. (I am tracking my weight thi month to see what are my up and down times) I find it funny that Sunday is my down day I do better food wise on the weekends go figure!

Glad you're not busted :D I can't begin to imagine how difficult it is to have teenaged children. I do however remember that for about 3 years 15-18 I just grunted a few words at my mother. There was absolutely nothing wrong with me or what I felt about her, it was just the way I was.

And yes it does feel good staying on plan. I've felt my confidence returning over the last week or so. Before I gave up smoking 147 was my cut off point - the absolute highest I would ever let myself get before action had to be taken. The fact that I'm back below it is such a boost. I want 133 to be my new cut off point. In the meantime I'll take the figurative needle dropping - no matter how slow it goes.

Jen - what a really lovely compliment from your husband - you must have been so chuffed.

Mudpie - as someone with an identical 2 1/2 day OP attention span I'd be up for a shorter challenge. I've got to start concentrating because unless I'm 140 or under by 9th July it could seriously affect the enjoyability of my holiday.

Everytime I get here lately I have become tongue tied. Not sure why.

But I just have to come by and say hi.

Kind of been having an uneventful month. Been on plan running like mad but no major leaps or bounds of physical fitness either.

Hey here is one data point. I am officially at my prepregnancy weight for both kids.

I kind of rememebered myself thinner at this weight. It was all distributed differently back then. I was soft but well proportioned. Now it seems to sit all on the belly. Oh well it will be gone soon enough.

Saw Casablanca last night. How romantic. Ate too much popcorn and woke up with a salt hangover.

Ok, I got a new stability ball for my home -- a wee bit smaller but a great fit overall.

I had the morning off work so I got some exercise in (kickboxing) -- will do some weights when I get home - but otherwise no Friday plans, a bit rare -- I *may* go clubbing, but not sure -- since that almost always involve some form of drinking.

Hope everyone is having a great friday and you mommies are getting worshipped like queens over this weekend ;)

Just got back from lunch with DH. Ok, so I ordered a glass of cabernet...but I think I did okay with my lunch choice. We went to a deli and I got a BLT with avocado. Big slabs of avocado! Yum! Interestingly, they served the mayo on the side! So I didn't add any! Who needs it with the avocado? And the lettuce was a green leaf lettuce--not iceberg, so it's probably a bit more nutritious. Bad fat with the bacon, but there wasn't too much on the sandwich. Although I could have ordered whole wheat, they make their own rye so I had that--it was really good.

Now to decide on dinner.....DD has a performance so it's just the three of us.

OT - sorry!
 

Allison, you mentioned a labrador retriever owners forum that you're with. Could you give me the URL so I can pass it on to one of my clients? They are first time dog owners and they are really interested in communicating with other lab owners. Their little yellow girl Billie is 10 months now and getting to the "bratty teenager" stage of labdom.
Thanks,
Dagmar

Here it is. If it gets deleted by the mods, let me know and I'll PM it to you.

I'm feeling a bit like Hikerchick lately ... I just don't have much to say.
Another day that I try but not hard enough. I feel fine. My family is fine. Work is good. Ho hum.

Nothing wrong with maintenance, both in life and our weight loss. My weekend is absolute chaos :yikes: - spring things coming in, winter going out - in direct contrast to the relative peace and quiet of the dog sit. Perhaps I'll go back there and relieve his other sitter ;)

My cats are happy campers though - following me around and purrrrring! The neighbour's dog is also trying to join our family - she's been in our house about 20 times today - as I always love her up and give her snacks when I see her.

Monday will be business as usual - back to the routine. How is the 21 day challenge going everyone? What day are you all on?

Happy Mother's Day!

Hey Dagmar! Good morning. When today is all in fitday, I'll be able to check the last two weeks . I'm probably over calories and under protein but I'm trucking along to see what is what. Hopefully it'll make me smarter about eating habits. It has been very good for exercising.

Happy Mother's Day
 

Good Morning Susan!
You get up as early as I do on Sundays - my DH says it's "unnatural" (I can hear him snoring from the next room as I type ;) ).

Just checked your Fitday for yesterday - very detailed and clear. I'm so impressed by your ability to document all of your calories and activities. I'm rather less meticulous and tend to approximate although I am checking calorie counts when I write down what I eat. Do you fill out the charts at the end of the day for Fitday? I'm trying to fill out my diet journal at the beginning of the day so I have the plan in place and will be less inclined to stray.

Hope you and the rest of the group have a wonderful day with your kids and moms!

Dagmar :dancer:

I'm going to work otherwise I would not be up yet. I actually slept until the alarm today.
I fill in as I go ... usually. But I do sometimes fill something in to see how it fits and then (maybe) eat it. I did that yesterday with the biscuits. DH made them so I wanted to try them somehow.
I run into trouble if I eat all day and then check.

Happy mother's day!

Its amazing what a luxury it was to sleep in until 7. Although I was awake from 6 on.

I didnt quite make my Mothers Day goal of 134, but I am just moving on to the next mini goal...first goal I missed. I do need to recommit, I have definitely been slacking.

But first to shake the bug

Hey Gang :wave: and HAPPY MOM'S DAY TO ALL OUR MOMS :cheer: ....

It's been a good day so far, quick run this morning 40 mins, Sunday school at Church, brunch with DS, roller blading with DD in a few minutes, super of been can chicken with my parents that DH will make... It's all good :D ...
