Thanks for the websites!! Dh just gave me a price range so I'll check out some places later!!

Hi, how is everyone!?

SO, I quit my job. I loved it, but it was killing me. I couldn't stand for that long anymore. My arthritis was starting to flare and my hips and feet were aching and it just was not worth it. Sucks when it comes to the money aspect, yet in terms of time it will be nice to have more of it to get other things around the house done. I think in the fall when the kids go back to school and will look for something that is sitting down. So, the positive in this is I have more time to exercise and because I wont be standing all the time I am hoping my body will be able to keep going!

I've been op in terms of food all weekend and yet I missed my exercise sat, sun, and mon. The funniest thing that I did not expect was that i was totally craving it! I couldn't wait to get to the gym yesrterdya and tday and it was awesome.

Anyway, gotta run but I wanted to check in and say hi.

Sorry Anna. It's awful I know. Lowest regular gasoline here is about 3.45. Same for you all?
How is everyone! You guys are passing me by, I barely subscribe to a new thread, say hello and come back later to get on a new thread!! lolol.

I'm not doing really well sorry to say. But I'm still here! So I am trying to keep myself a priority somewhat. He's still out of town in training stuff so I'm missing him alot. At least he can text some from class tho. LOL.

Well ttysoon! hugs, Selina

AMEN TO THE COMMISSARY THING!! It was horrible with the ladies that hit you with their cart on our base if you didn't go fast enough!

That sucks, but I'm sure you will find something you enjoy equally and wont be so hard on your arthritis..

As for me, I don't know why I never thought about this before, but I had bought a seal a meal machine on black Friday. Well I finally used it on Monday and made all these healthy meals with portioned sizes and sealed and froze them. Now at night since it's hectic with sports and after work, I can just grab them and put them in the microwave and it isn't filled with a bunch of salt like smart ones and lean cuisines are! Hooray. I tried one last night and they were definitely good! anyone else tried that?

Cabana Boys are up, my water is down, my foods still decently on plan...

Looks like I'll be getting water logged later this evening trying to catch up... It's so tempting to grab one of my boss' Deer Parks since theres a full case in the fridge.

aww ****... he won't miss just one...

Ok ladies (and gent's) I need your help.

Please help me decide which pic I should get of my dd. She is graduating grade 8 and heading into highschool in the fall.

Awwww, she's so cute. It's hard to choose!

I *THINK* after looking at them for a bit I like ZA846_5701 (very bottom right) the best!


Edited to add: I'm sorry you quit your job, but it does sound like it was really hard on you!

Aw, Angie - I'm sorry to hear that. I used to have a job where I was on my feet all day and I know exactly what you mean - ouch!!!! Anyway, congrats on quitting, I guess.

Angie - I like 5700 and 5701 - her eyes are smiling!

Angie,
I like 5701 too! She looks like she is laughing and is soooo cute!

Congrats on quitting your job....hope you start to feel better and rested

-Melissa

Thanks Nori71 - Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely look that up!

Dixie dieter- I think you may have correctly diagnosed my problem! When I am working out and I have neck/shoulder pain I often lift the straps of the bra of my shoulder to make it feel better. And thinking about it the only time my neck/shoulder hurts during the day at work is when I wear a sports bra to work (when I need to do laundry : ) Being hunched over the computer at work doesn’t help either I am sure but it doesn’t really feel painful at work.
I will try your suggestion. Thank you so much!

Momof4girls – 5701, she looks very happy in that photo.

Agreed.

Time for me to play photo analyst!

Your daughter is very cute btw!

I love photography... so I'm going to give you my honest opinion

The ones on the left, just from an outsider looking in, her hand looks a little out of place in the picture... not anything your daughter did, just poor decision of the photographer. So I'd nix those.

Out of the ones on the right, you don't want a smile that looks forced, so I'd nix the middle one.

So we are down to the right, top or bottom. This is really all dependent on what you are looking for in the picture...

The top: she looks very relaxed and natural, i.e. her hair is falling naturally, her smile is not forced or the main focal point and her eyes are relaxed.

The bottom: looks more posed than a natural picture (which is fine), her hair has been pushed off her collar, her smile is not forced but is larger than the top photo and her eyes are reflecting her smile (read: look smaller) because she is smiling.

IMO, I like a natural photo, so I'd go with the top right (ZA845_5698)

But its really about what you are looking for in the photo. I'm just hear to make suggestions.

OH MY GOSH ....HOW CUTE!!!! Little girls with curls.....How adorable!! I can only hope to have those someday.

Dee - No steamies yet and I'm on page 320 Needless to say they sure are talking about the "tension" though!
