Where has everyone gone?

Scooter and Chrissy.

Hope you are just on vacation!

[Scooter]

Hey Guys!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Life has been NUTS!...But hey whose life isn't. I successfully babysat for 32 hours over the weekend :S...but somehow I survived. My sister is roofing. But its not so bad just tiring.

I haven't been doing so good. I have got stress munchies. My job is driving me nuts and I am considering getting a new one. But I am a big sissy and can't come up with the courage to tell my boss... My dog had an altercation with something or my other dog and her ear is kind of mangled. It is all enough to make you scream. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

But life goes own...Sorry about the whine.

I hope yall are doing good. It is so humid here. I was wondering where everybody was and then poof I dissappeared too. Life will get you sometimes. I have been taking Lean Cuisines to work but my stomach starts growling two hours later. So I am trying to figure out what I can do to fix that. With it being so hot I have been drinking water.

Well I better skiddadle. Take it easy!

You Are Back!!

I am so glad to hear from you. I thought maybe you were on vacation or just really busy. I was hoping that you had not given up!

Why don't you try to add something like sliced tomatoes, carrots
or apples, mellon. Something that you can have a lot of.

I have been on vacation. We flew to Utah. It was wonderful. The food was expensive, we were at a 4 or 5 star Resort. It was a deal where I volunteered to attend a conference. So that is why we were not at Red Roof Inn eating at Micky D's.

Utah and flying were quite an experience since I had never done that before. But the resort was at 7,000 feet above sea level and I got alltitude sickness. I had to drink water all day or I my head would start hurting and I would get sick to my stomach.

My kid has asthma and the really dry air or something made it hard for him to breath the first day. He got better as we were there longer, so did I.

I am so glad I did not give up!

I have been really eating salads and really enjoying the water. I find that I chose it now. Always, (always) before it was like I had to drink it.

Oh yeah. It was 102 in Salt Lake the day we left. But dry not humid. But let me tell you hot is hot. I will take the humidity. I think I actually prefer it.

Humid here too. My kid is going to Cub scout day camp during the day and Vacation Bible school in the evenings!

Oh other good news the lamb makes weight for our county fair!

Gosh you are gone again!

I hope you are not working too hard!

I also hope you are not eathing as much as me!!

I promise I will do better tomorrow!

Take care!!

[Scooter]

Sorry I keep disappearing but I haven't had time to jump online...Sorry!

I have been really bad about eating pizza...:S...I haven't had much time to eat anything else...babysitting five kids doesn't leave much time for sensible meals...

We can get back on track I know it!

HI Scooter:

I hear you. I have not been on program for a whole day all last week. Maybe this week.

Don't worry that you can't eat the right foods when you are so rushed. You work and you babysit. You need your energy.

Do you like popcorn made with the hot air popper? I put butter on my son's popcorn and I eat the plain. You you can spray it with "I can't believe its not butter" spray or one like that. It doesn't taste bad to me. (But I really like popcorn) It helps me feel full without eating too much.

I can not think how I would occupy and entertain 5 kids. You are doing great. You will get a handle on this weight thing. Just step back and give yourself some time.

Talk to you later.

Hi Scooter!!

I thougth I would just drop in to say I am sticking to the diet so far today. Of course, it is only 8:23.

I have a busy schedule today, getting ready for our county fair. We also have to be out of town for a couple of days.

Did I tell you my kid is on a livestock judging team? I have learned a lot about livestock. I can look at a pig now and "see" the porkchops. I can think about porkchops and gain weight.

My kid keeps me busy. We need to go to two different towns today. Unfortunately they are in opposit directions. I just can not decide which we should do today and which activities we should skip. We can't be both places. A firends daughter is in the hospital and my son has ice skating lessons in that town. But, we need to hand out some fliers for the fair to hopefully find a buyer for his fair animal. Can't decide which is most important. I think I should go have another coffee. No calories. I will ponder this some more.

Oh yea. I have almost no money. That has to figure into the equation. I need to pay for ice time ($50) and a gift for the girl in the hospital. Hummm. Handing out fliers is free (there is already gas in the car) Or I could take money out of the bank.

Time for more coffee. Thank goodness we don't have any donuts!

Hi Scooter:

Don't know if you get a chance to check in or not. I hope everything is going well for you.

We went to our county fair. It was a lot of fun.

[Scooter]

I'm BAAAAACK!!

Sorry guys! I have been babysitting for what seems like eternity. My sisters computer doesn't work. I am at work now which I usually don't get on but we got the worm so I am removing it. Everything is going great.

I promise I won't go for two weeks not writing again. I have decided to take back my life and tell my sister I need to breath. So ta ta for now...

Scooter

[sunnygirl]

Hey Scooter!

Boy it is good to hear from you. It sure is easy to get in a rut babysitting. I know your sister must really need you and you want to help but gee you are young! You need to be getting out and about!

I was checking in but not writting anything until today.

What a chance. I deleted all the addresses from address book, hope I don't get a computer virus.

Can a computer virus attack saved files?

So far I have had no problems. I hope it stayes that way.

The fair was fun. I have never spent so much time at the fair. We had the lamb to show and take care of. My son showed both in the jr. livestock and open show. He showed two lambs and brought one back home with us. It is a Barbados, a hair sheep odd looking thing.

I missed the demolition derby. I guess I must have missed the best part. Knock down drag out fights with cops hauling off people. Cool hate that I missed it. Not next year. I didn't know it was so exciting or I'd have been there. The only one I had ever saw was tame next to this one. Gee leave it to me to miss the good show! lol

More later!!

[Scooter]

Yeah its seems that the good stuff happens when your not there sometimes. That happens to me alot. I went to tops tonight and I had lost 2 pounds they had me at 320.5 and my home scales said 315. Who knows...but TOPS has by goal and all that so I guess I will stick with the 320...:S...Well I thought I would drop in before I hit the sack.

You guys must like the fair. I went to one Demo Derby and they took a guy away in handcuffs because he yelled and threw his hat down. I thought that was a little extreme. Well I will write you again soon.

Hi!

I feel guilty. I am posting after eating three bread sticks. Well that was more than I should have eaten.

I have been house cleaning all morning. Hard work. But since I am not finished maybe I can work hard this afternoon and burn some of those calories.

This a.m. I did really well. Toast and yogurt. Followed by bread. I could never stick to the suger busters diet, even though it sounds like a healthy approach.

Talk to you later!!
Sunny

[Scooter]

BREADSTICKS and anything that has the word bread in it are my weakness. I don't know what it is but the first one is very good the second one is awesome and then you can't stop. I tried the Atkins diet and about died from lack of bread...lol.

I just heard a funny quote. "I would stop eating chocolate but I am not a quitter"

I have to admit I ate Fried Mushrooms today they are a big weakness. But tomorrow I am vowing to stick with it. Its been so hot that I have been drinking water like it is going out of style. The humidity has got to GO! Well I better skiddadle...work comes early...:S

Later gator

Hi Scooter:

I didn't do so great today. We took a day trip and it included stopping at Tammarack. They have really good food, and generous helpings. Plus the gift shop had fudge. Man it was good. I ate so much I should be sick.

I did walk, but it didn't make up for the fudge. I was actually doing ok until the homemade fudge. OK enough said. Atleast we did not bring any home!

Fried mushrooms. Wonder how they compare cal. wise to fudge. Tee hee. So we will promise to be better tomorrow.

I will go drink some water. Maybe wash it out.

Hi Scooter,

Sounds like you are well on your way!!I use to do WW and the best I can remember the point range is 28. I live in Kentucky too but I have never heard of a fried candy bar!! Probably a good thing, candy is weakness!!! I have 130 pounds to lose and it will be a long road. If you ever need support let me know, I know I can use all I can get! Strive for your mini goal and you will reach it! Best wishes!!
