Holly good luck tonight on the cake decorating Will DH be working an 8-5 shift now?

You know I will think of you ladies everytime I want to take a bite of something however I will be doing alot of driving today so I should be good to go on the NO snacking today...... I have to gained another 3 pounds and now that is total of 5 since last Saturday. My tailbone feels much better today not sure what the heck was going on yesterday

Well today is our last day of nice weather then tomorrow comes the 20's mid to low 20's I guess can't complain because we have been above average the month of November so I guess winter has to come sometime

Off to work I will check back in later - have a Great Day

Good Morning Tammy

Good Morning Ladies,

Holly, I am glad DH got a job.... even if the $ is not right, it will get him out of the house..... and a man in the house all the time is not a good combo.
You did awesome on the exercise for November! I hope you have a good time tonight teaching. I bet it will be fun.

Reda, I am sure the 5 pounds is water.... like Holly told me. It will come off. Just hang in there.

I decided not to do that boot camp sponsored competition. It costs $10 to enter.... so I did not want to spend $10 and then another $50.

I will think of you both when I am not supposed to eat something..... well, I am only doing boot camp stuff..... but I will think if you if I think of going off the boot camp stuff.

I hope you all have a good day.

Well food eating was better today but not totally on track.....
Tammy you will do just fine whether you are in competition or not, and ya so close to christmas to spend extra $'s.

Tonight is Finale of SOA at 9 - BL is from 8-10 and then Full Throttle is from 9-10 so all three will be going on at 9 and fornately you can only record 2 and you have to have TV on one of those 2 channels but Full Throttle is on at a later time so we will just DVR it then because I am not missing BL or SOA

Well better get going need to get things cleaned up before I go get on treadmil

Cold weather is on its way along with this nasty wind and boy does the wind make it cold

good evening chicks! Hey I am sorry I forgot to ask you Reda, how your tailbone is feeling.

And I am a dummy because I had a big stupid muffin at work, and it wasn't even that good

The cake decorating went pretty good, the girls are young, like 13 and 16, and kinda shy, so I had to sort of coax them to pick up the pastry bags and try things for themselves; and when I was starting to feel a little desperate because I ran out of instruction I saw an hour was up and that was my cue to wrap it up

thanks for the congrats on hubster's job, yes his hours are 8 to 4:30, and there is overtime to be had, so he feels a little better about the money aspect. He says his first day was fine. He did do the bartending already, it was maybe a week ago? It was a Friday and Saturday thing.

I haven't asked him yet about benefits. I don't have any idea about health insurance, or time off for rallies in summer...I'm gonna wait until he's a little more settled there before I ask.

DH told me something just as I came in the door...that our older son, who finally moved out in early summer?? he was just told that the building his apartment is in, has been sold, and he has 2 weeks to move out. WHAT?? Poor kid. I know, there are laws to prevent being put out when it's winter, but he never signed a lease. So I don't think he's got that to protect him. Of course he can move back here, but I think he will be so devastated!

Well I am tired, talk at cha's tomorrow morning

OH Holly so sorry to hear about DS and ya without a lease he may just be stuck and why wouldn't the new owners want to keep the same tenants that have been paying on time in there???

He isn't going to want to move back in but sometimes they just don't have a choice - our oldest didn't want to move back home when they were taking a month to remodel but once he moved home he was here for a year then he just moved back out moved in with a few friends. Well the youngest just came home and finally has his fines all of them paid off that was $700 dollars since mid Oct so not bad at plus $160 to the state of IA for seatbelt violation- But now he is talking about moving out west about 450 miles away wanting to do some logging I just told him that he still needs to finish paying off his car which is now blown up but next check that should be paid for I think he is coming around finally

Holly tailbone is feeling good today and thanks for asking
HuHot well it is a mongolian grill you fill your bowl with your choice of meat ( chicken, beef, pork, fish, sausage, shrimp) then your choice of noodles ( 3 different types) then your vegtables tons of veggies then you pick your choice of sauces as mild or hot as you want them- it is great

Oh ya one other thing Holly make sure he checks into the insurance stuff because most companies you only have 90 days to get packet and get turned in and you don't want to miss that opportunity - waiting may not be a bad idea on asking for time off but at least that is quite a few months away so I bet they will be fine with it

Ok well just now watching SOA finale and boy what another twist- this is crazy.....

Ok I yapped long enough have great night

Holly



Hope you have a great Day!!!!

Happy Birthday Holly! I hope you have a great one!

I am glad you had your cake decorating last night... sorry it was a drag.

Reda, SOA was too many twists for me! I did not see the end of BL though.... I will have to research on the internet.

I have to make this one quick ladies. I hope you both have a good day..... but especially you Holly!

thanks you friends for the b-day wishes

just finished doing 30 Day Shred level 3, was interrupted at the last cardio by my mom phoning me, and I 'cooled off' while we were talking so I did NOT want to finish the workout but I did. Kind of a point that I wanted to make to myself, to do a strenuous workout on my 49th (eeek!) b-day.

Am going to shower now, then going to a friend's house and we're going to our fave place for lunch, they make such delicious sandwiches on all kinds of homemade bread, the sandwich plates come with chips or pretzels and also a little cookie bar for dessert; but we always have to go back to the bakery counter because they make everything from scratch and it is all real whipped cream, real chocolate ganache, in other words THE GOOD STUFF Diet, what diet

thanks again chicks!!

Holly, I think if you research it...... there is a rule that you cannot diet on your bday! Enjoy it!

Tammy BL well if you haven't got to research it yet the girls were below the yellow line and it goes up to a vote so it will be Danny, Rudy and either Amanda or Liz depending on how the vote goes at the Finale.... Boy Danny lost like 60 pounds at home in 60 days and Rudy lost I believe 24 or 34 pounds and both girls lost 16 pounds each so Danny really pulled it off losing 60 pounds in 2 months at home...Ok anyways I should go get supper started Holly hope lunch was good no make that Great and yes no dieting on Birthdays

good morning chicks It was a real nice birthday, as a total surprise I got a fleece jacket that looks just like a motorcycle jacket , it an American Eagle size medium, but I can NOT gain any weight because it is snug as is.

I have today off also and it is pouring rain. I have alot of inside stuff to do, but first I need to work out to get that out of the way.

That is a kewl jacket! That gives you incentive to lose weight.

I have good news..... one of my competitors ate TWO pieces of pecan pie yesterday! Woo Hoo! I am hoping he eats all weekend! (isn't that mean of me)..... well, I have just a smidge to go before I have lost all of my thanksgiving weight---so that will put me back in the 180s. I really want to be 185 by Christmas. From there, I will re evalute. I am tall and I am told that I carry it well....... so I may just see how hard 185 is to maintain or I may go for 179. I want to be healthy and feel good...... but I don't want to have to struggle with a number that is hard for me to maintain for the rest of my life. I am pretty comfortable now..... so we will just see.

Reda, I figured it would go like it did with the girls not losing as much...... but, I thought Rudy would have lost more. I did not expect him to struggle as much as he did. I hope he can keep it off! On the BL thread on here a few people say Danny looks sick. He sure has slimmed up a lot. I hope he keeps it off! Can you believe SOA? OMG!

It is COLD here (well, for here)....... if it was 40ish there you would both think it was a heat wave-- but I am not used to it and my insulation is not like it used to be (on me).

Good think for less insulation, Tammy
but I would take that 40 degrees any day - we are in the 20's with snow and ice - yipeeeee not really

Holly I love that jacket it is so kewl - great job being in Med - shoot even when I am at my smallest weight I have always had to wear at least a XL shoot even when I was in school and weighing 115 pounds - it is the chest friends that get in the way

Well going to walk on treadmil before we head out for wings and things (ice cold refreshment) oh ya I tried a Bud Select 55 (only has 55 calories) it is great we will get it in SD after the first of the year and that will be my new beer of choice and only 55 calories that is the best part

Well ladies I will check back in later

good evening chicks! and before I forget, I did work out this morning, and again I did 30DS level 3.

Tammy, OM gosh that is good news that your competitor ate TWO pieces of pecan pie!! think of the calories

You'll just have to get used to being a little colder, without the insulation

Reda, I wish I had the chest fillers, lol!!

Chicks, I GOT TO RIDE TODAY!!! December 3rd, in Vermont, it is just freakin amazing. I was out for about an hour, that was just a wonderful "fix"! It had poured this morning but stopped around 11, then was just cloudy and a wonderful 53 degrees. Didn't see any other bikes out, but heard some encouraging 'woo hoo's' from street workers and I gave back some revs for them.

Holly, that is GREAT that you got to ride in December in Vermont. Merry Christmas to you (early). Isn't is such a stress reliever? And, I am sure the street workers (that sounded bad once I typed it) liked the rev of the motorcycle you gave them.

I am going to have to start my son's (that I just took over payments on) motorcycle..... and either take the battery off or put a tender on it. I really did not need this at this time.

Reda, I am with Holly on the "chest friends".... I missed that train.....
