Up and at 'em chickies!

I got called into work last night since the usual guard is off sick. Glad to have the extra hours though, I just paid a total of $762.04 for my bumper to be repaired! Grrrrr.....

So here I sit with a quick 8 hours on my hands and I get to start the daily!

First want to say welcome to all our newbies, I know that you will love the support and encouragement you will recieve on this forum

Next is to those who did our January challenge, it's time to record how you did! Check out "the end of the month" thread and post your totals so you know how wonderful you really are! And please do join up on the February Challenge thread--the more the merrier since it just makes it seem that much easier for everyone since we all know we are there to do the same thing

As for me this Friday, get some sleep and get ready to do my night shift this weekend

Have a good one everyone!

Morning Pooky, the top of the day to you,
It is 0,5:20am and we are going to get a mess today. It is going to rain, changing to freezing rain. It seems like every Friday the kids have home because of the weather.
Alright, who has the missing 50 million dollar power ball??? You only have six more weeks to clame it.
Leens- My hat off to you, anyone that says "no", to night eating
Welcome to all the new chicks, it will be fun to get to know you.
Well i will be praying for the chicks that are troubled today and thinking of the rest of you with a happy thought. I have the weekend off.
Pooky, have a good shift,
Love,
Tazcat Going for second coffee, and read more threads.

Good Morning, I'm up way too early!!

I went back to the dentist yesterday......of all things I need to have a wisdom tooth removed. At 43 years of age.....a wisdom tooth!!!

jenny-sorry to hear about your friends Mom.

Ruth-I should look into St Johns Wort for Betsey....hubby

Leens our own "Outstanding Employee"

L-what a nice thing to do for families that can't afford school supplies.

Tammy-how did the doctor's visit go? I know that low-carb did wonders for my sugars.

Jiff-are you better today?

Tilly, Dyan, Robin, Rachel, Linda

Today is a big Wal-Mart shop for me........I just love Super Wal-Mart!! Anyone want to go with me?

Off for coffee....have a wonderful day all!

Debbie

Oh wouldn't I love to spend the day at walmart!! I'll be right there!! However I live only about an hour from Tazcat and we are having a freezing rain storm today so I doubt I will get as far as the mailbox.
I had a bit of good news yesterday. First my sugars are better and I've earned another couple of weeks grace from my meds. Second my scale is wrong and I am actually 4 lbs lighter than I thought. Not sure which made me happier.

Debbie I had my wisdom tooth removed about 5 years ago because of an infection and it wasn't too bad for me. However, the surgeon informed me that I sang throughout the whole procedure so I am sure it was memorable for him!!

Must go start baking muffins for all of my little ones.
Hope someone is enjoying some sun today!
Tammy

Tammy on the singing!! I'll try not to do that when I have mine removed.

And........you and Taz just keep that freezing rain! Is it a deal?

Debbie (who is busy making her shopping list for Wal-Mart)

What time should I be ready, Debkay?

Ouch on the wisdom tooth!!! You know, I don't have any....figures!

Morning Tammyfaye and Taz and Pooky! Ouch on that bumper Pookster!

I know my posts have been sporadic but lately I have just been totally consumed with ME. It's kind of weird and takes some getting used to. Second day on meridia and I will get the wellbutrin today and start it tomorrow. My plan for today is to eat sanely and drink 64 oz of water. That"s it. Lunch with the girls....been missing my estrogen posse!

Ruthie? can I borrow your metal bra? My bosom (s) is/are killing me!

Robin!!! LOVED YOUR PICTURE!!!

off to start the boys up.

peach

I just realized I didn't post on yesterday's thread. Oh, well, CRAFT setting in, I guess!

Happy Friday everyone!! Going to be a drudge today, auditors are not fun people. I love my job, I love my job, yeah RIGHT!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day, I'm going to try! Talk to you later.

Morning all,
I am going to get yet another computer for the den, it's one that I did have in the bedroom before it died. (then I had to bring this antique one out again) Anyway when the "geeks on call" came out they found out that the e-machine was in great shape hardware wise, but was totally contaminated with viruses (many many) so he took it home with him to clean it us, and he's bring it back this morning. I will put it in the den so I can get on it every night like I did with my laptop, and maybe I won't miss out on so much. I feel like a newbie, cause I don't know what's going on with everyone right now.

Sorry about the bad weather some of you are having. We did have a few day of cold, but it's over now.

I had an aunt die Wed. morning, she had a aenurysm (sp) in the brain, it was quite sudden and has left everyone in shock. She was my mom's sister, but married to my dads BIL so that means that everyone of my relatives was at the funeral home last night. got to see and talk to lots of people I haven't seen in a while, but wish it was under different situations.

I have been horrible with my eatng this month, can I forget the whole month of January and start my year with Feb? And I had such good intentions!!!

Well. I'm going to try to read a lot of the back posts I've missed and see what all's going on with you. Maybe this will be the last major computer crisis I have for a while.

Just a quick Hi. Have a headache this a.m. - unusual for me - so am taking tylenol and coffee to cure it. I did not make it to town for veggies and stuff yesterday so today a trip is a must as I have to make a huge fruit salad for tomorrow's breakfast meeting. I'll pop in later. Be good!

Morning all!!

Off to the Doctor's in a little while--I am sooooo hoping she doesn't nix the whole LC thing--I am anxious to see my weight loss--if any

Ruthxx--I did not know we were having breakfast meeting tomorrow--shall I bring the eggs??

DebKay--I would LOVE to go to Super Wal*Mart with you!! They are building one as we speak about a mile from my house--
mylife will never be the same after that!! Unfortunately I have to make my way to the old Wal*MArt--on the other side of town today--yuck!

Taz--Freezing Rain -I listened to the weather and some Alberta Clipper is coming down from all of you in the North--thanks for sharing--we may wake up tomorrow to the freezing rain...

Well, older DD went on a trip with her friend to some lodge that is an indoor waterpark--she left yesterday and won't be back until tommorrow night--so--Little Miss Tori and I have a big day planned-after the Doctor we will be shopping--then the mall to play--then lunch--(yeah) then tonight her grandparents wnat her to stay with them all by herself--(usually she has big sis with her)--poor kid has got a cold--hope she can handle all the excitement!

well--I'm off--wish me luck!

mis

Morning all. I'm down on myself this morning. (see my post..bad girl!) Now I'm off to kickboxing to burn it off. KIds are off school today and the sun is shining so it's shaping up to be a good day.

Barb g. I'm so sorry to hear about your Aunt. My aunt is in ICU presently. She had an aneurysm a couple weeks ago but was lucky and so far has survived. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I won't tell you about my wisdom tooth story...ouch!

Can't wait to join the Feb challenge.

Have a great day chicks....and be careful you girls with the freezing rain!!

Jenni

hi ladies! Happy Friday to all!!

Gloomy here today but supposed to be sunny and 60 this weekend!!! Yea!! Have been totally useless in the weight loss department. Have consistently exercised but eating terrible....

Anyone know anything about LA Weightloss? We have several people here at work losing like crazy on it.....alas, I think I have tried every diet known to man......



Have a nice day everyone.

Morning Ladies

Im feeling a bit more human today and Im going to attempt to go to work today....keep hubby company for a few hours. Its a long day today for him if he goes in by himself. We are open til 7 tonight. Besides I miss him!!

Debbie, I'll go!! I love the super walmart....the closest one to me is an hour and half drive !! Buffalo is still a big Kmart town. I have to go to Niagara Falls just to visit a regular walmart!

Barb, Im so sorry to hear about your aunt, your family are in my thoughts.

Peach, good luck with your new meds, and have a blast with the girls!

Not much else happening around here, uneventful, just the way I like it lol

Have a great Friday Ladies!!
Robin

Quick question as I clean up fingerpaint all over my walls (kids thought purple looked better than my yellow!)- we are going out to dinner tonight and I am certain I will be eating something not low carb. Will I loose ketosis after one meal or will I just get the sugar cravings back. I don't know the hostess well enough to explain my diet and I don't want to be rude and not eat.
Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks Tammy

Hey guys! Thanks for the prayers re: my chest x ray and ab sono - everything is fine, no problems whatsoever!! Whoo hoo! Also had my consult for Lasik surgery (see my lasik post) and I have set a date of 2/21. I'm gonna do it!!

Weighed myself this morning. Still at 147, however I have lost 1.25" from my waist and 1" from my hips since January 6. This is totally from working out and I'm sure I've added muscle weight, which is why the scale hasn't moved.

And, tomorrow night I have a date with a guy I really like! Yeah!

We have rain but the temp is up to 38 degrees, PTL, and on Monday it is going to be 53!

Robin: glad you are feeling better.

Tammy Fancy: if you are going out, it is relatively easy to eat low carb. But, if you do cheat, you will probably go out of ketosis for a day or so.

Everyone else have a great weekend! I'm on top of the world today.
