Good morning,

I hope you girls don't mind me starting this new board. The other one was getting kinda full!


I'll write again later on.

Thanks!

Good morning all. Nothing exciting to report here.

I am going shopping with my bridesmaids for dresses tomorrow. I am sooo excited!

Hello Ladies...

Nothing new here...just another day trying to stay on track. Well me and my girlfriend are off to the beach. We just confirmed up our reservations today. We are going to Ocean City, MD for 3 nights we leave Friday, Aug. 8th. I am sooooo looking forward to this. Our hotel is right on the boardwalk... we didn't get an oceanfront room...way to expensive. I have to save a little money for me and hubbys trip to Vegas. I plan to book that when I get back from beach. My eating has been good. I have been on track and I have been exercising sooo when I weigh this saturday I hope to be down maybe a pound. I would like to lose a few before I hit the beach...cause I know I will not be on my eating plan. But we do have a little fridge in our room. If I could be good for breakfast and lunch...then splurge a little on the dinners.

Kim....Thanks for starting the new thread. Hope work is going well...both jobs..*smile* I will need to take on a second job I keep planning this small vacations...they do add up.

Marcie....How do you think you did on your exam? Where are you going shopping for bridesmaid dresses? How many bridesmaids are you having? I was so excited when me and my girls went shopping for dresses. They only thing my bridesmaids wanted were dresses that they could possible wear again. And actually one of my bridesmaid and her husband went on our cruise with us for honeymoon and she wore the dress to formal night. So she said she feels she got her moneys worth. Cause I know I have about 7 bridesmaids gowns hanging in my closet that I will never wear again and they are way tooo big. Have fun and good luck finding something that everyone likes.

Well I will check back in later before the day is over.

The test was ok....I didnt do as well as I had hoped....but I did well enough I think. : )

We are going to a couple shops, having lunch and then doing a couple more shops. I am only having 3 bridesmaids. I think it will make everything sooo much easier!

It should be a fun day of shopping! My project for this afternoon is to call some shops, see what lines they carry, and get directions. The shops are scattered all over the place, so I need a game plan!

Hello ladies,

Hey, where's Diane? I can't remember if she was going out of town or something.

Jibbelle-Have a great time looking for dresses. I only had 1 matron of honor who was my sister and the lady that made my dress made hers. So the only thing I needed to do is look for accessories and that was fun.

Tab-Please don't take on a 2nd job. Enjoy yourself while you can!

Anyway ladies, I've heard from 2 jobs that I've appled for and I'm so happy and sad at the same time. My supervisor got the call she was expecting and she has changed her last day from 8/15 to 8/8. I do understand but I'm sad because I might have to deal with her boss one on one.

I'm so happy about the jobs, I could scream for joy! It's been a challenge to come to work everyday and to work under this type of pressure is unreasonable.

Well, I'm on my 4th good eating day and I'm happy about that, a little tired in the body from the P/T job but other than that, I'm feeling better.

Until later ladies, have a great day!

Hi Ladies:
I am still here, yesterday was just a pool day with my niece and nephew and guess who is feeling very tired. The day after carrying around my niece my arms just don't want to function, she won't wear those swimmy things so carrying 32 pounds even in water gets tiring.
Kimbo 4 days in a row, where have I been. So do you have an interview with these other jobs?
Marcie have fun shopping.
Tab we are going to Bethany Beach in the middle of August, I am looking foward to it, we did not go away this year.
Diane

Good morning ladies,

Today will be a short day hopefully and TGIF!!!

Today is the annual employee appreciation day, the 1 day in the year the university gives away free food and plays different sports and all that good stuff. I'm not really interested in any of it, it's an opportunity for me to leave early and go home and rest before work tonight.

I haven't had an interview scheduled yet, but I'm hoping to get a call today and possibly go on one Monday. Yesterday when I got home, I had another call from this same agency, they're submitting my resume to a law firm and she's sure they'll call me. As far as the other job is concerned, they've been in budget meetings for the last 2 days but they've already saw my resume and is very interested so we'll see.

Anyway, day 5 with no cheats! I hope the weekend is just as well. My biggest concern is not eating enough on Sunday, I work for 8 hrs. This will be the last Sunday of working 8 hrs, since I was already on the schedule I told her we'll wait. I have almost 2 weeks before I'll be scheduled to work on Sunday again. Last night was very busy so today, I'm looking forward to going home and taking a nap prior to going to work.

I'll try and stop by later ladies, have a great day and a good weekend if I don't return!!!

Kimbo-
Get some rest this afternoon between jobs! And eat. : )

I am a little worried about what today will bring food wise. Usually I eat my protein and veggies for dinner, but today I may switch it to lunch since we will be out shopping all day and I am sure we will stop to eat.

Wish me luck!

Good morning all. My parents are in town for the weekend...so I have been eating 2 meals a day (instead of 1) and less supplements. I was only down 1 pound at weigh in this morning, but I will take it! I will be glad when they are gone tomorrow so that I can get by in my usual routine!

Marcie:
A pound is a pound at least you are still losing even though you are having more food.
My food eating has been so terrible these past couple of days, I need to take and step back and chill out.
Diane

Marcie, When are you getting married?? I am getting married on September 20th. I am so excited. I have two wedding dresses. One my future mother-in-law had fixed for me and added sleeves that made the dress look like ****. So then I decided to go out and get a real gown. It was something that I should have got anyway and she wasn't even upset. I think my soon to be sis-in-law had more of a cow then she did. I was glad that she didn't wig out about. Plus I am having someone making my headpeice and vail for me and it didn't look good with my old dress.

Our wedding is June 19, 2004. It is still a long time away, but we have tons of stuff to do yet!

Congrats to you!!

Hi all!

I'm so mad! I lost my writing so now I'm starting all over.

Anyway, it was a pretty good eating weekend. It was easy to stay OP because I worked both days Sat & Sun and I can't eat a lot and work. I did make sure I bought enough water, just as Tab said. Thanks for that advise cause I hadn't been doing that.

Well, today is my only day off and I''ve got a lot to do this evening and also we're working on a project here at work that is due by Thursday of this week. So it's going to be hectic but I'll make it through with the help of God!

Diane-Don't be to hard on yourself, just pick-up the pieces and start back over again. I'm going to send you an email I received from a girlfriend who has struggled with her weight all her life and she sent out an email that was very inspirational to me on Friday. My goal for this month is to make everyday count, August will be my month to set goals and reach them and I'm determined to do it, let's stay focus and encourage one another as we have been.

Jibbelle-I'm with Diane, a 1lb lost is great news! Keep up the good work and you'll reach your goal in no time!

Tab-how was the weekend, you do anything exciting?

Until later, have a great day!

Kimbo:
I think I am just tried of dealing with diets and trying to find one that I could stick to. I loved LAWL when I was doing it but once I started cheating I just could not handle having all that protein again. Maybe my body has changed from when I did it the first time.
I am glad you had an OP weekend even though you had to wrok to do it.
Marcie how did you make out this weekend?
Hello TAB.
Diane

I did pretty well...just glad my parents are gone!

I have been a little hungry today, so I am excited to go home and have my afternoon shake!
