I'm seriously considering putting the scales away during the hiatus between challenges and seeing what I can do. I'll really hit the exercise and get tight on the calorie planning and the menus. No promises....just seriously considering it right now.
sorry girls i was kidnapped by and emu but i tricked them and they now have a koala as hostage.. ...
LMAO we have been very busy....
OK .. I'm sure you guys know I'm not a drinker.. the last time i drank anything alcoholic.(1999). i ended up sick for weeks and pregnant.. to boot.. lol << making up for being so sick over new years hubbies birthday etc.. I'm actually allergic to most drinks.. as i cant handle preservatives.. i get covered in a rash from head to toe, got bright red.. and then end up with Gastro type symptoms.. for a week or two..
well Wednesday night hubby took us all out for dinner .. he bought me a lemon ruski.. ( which is OK doesn't set me off to bad ) and then two glasses of sweet white wine ( also OK for once) .. i was drunk.. lol .. my head was spinning and i was quite enjoying the loopy feeling i had and hubby bought some more wine on the way home.. which we drunk at home along with some Baileys.. LMAO.. I drove my hubby insane.( after he got what he wanted anyway ). he said i was just talking.. and talking .. he was trying to watch a movie.. lol ... .. i had enough brains to drink heaps of water mind you.. i would have had nearly 2 liters.. before i went to sleep.. and Thursday i was fine.. not head ache nothing..
Thursday was Leah's first day of kindy.. i felt so lost.. i was jealous of everyone with there daughter with them at the shops.. when we went up to look at the toy sale.. ( birthdays and Xmas coming.. Labs for Xmas now) i was fidgety couldn't make up my mind and couldn't stop thinning about Leah.. When we picked her up she has a rash from her bottom to her ankles and was miserable.. silly girl went in the sandpit.. ( even though i had told the teacher she couldn't). but i gave her antihistamines.. and we took the kids tenpin bowling yesterday afternoon after kindy.. they loved it we had 3 games .. Cameron beat me in the first game.. i got 70 something lol.. and then i got 120 in the second game and 90 in the third.. yup i suck but it was funny as ****.. without the kiddy bumpers i would have had alot less.
This morning John flew out again.. so the kids were upset we went out early I took them to playgroup and then to my mums for the rest of the day.. we had dinner late and the kids went to be.. just after they ate.. ( Cameron's school did school swimming this week so we gave him and extra week off school.. its freezing here and the middle of winter last year he got very ill after going swimming theirs time of year had a temp of 42.8c degrees and got pneumonia.. i told them if they didn't change it he wouldn't attend.. and daddy was home anyway)..
they was about as short as i could tell your's whats been going on.. i was down to 263 earlier in the week but I'm not now after my bender Wednesday night too many carbs this week and not enough exercise ( the right kind anyway ) lol
oh so who is coming to find me.. ill go hide again??? lmao.. australi is a lovely place 4r a holiday and even better place to live.. cheap housing lots of work.. great wages.. cheap health care most of it payed by the government.. low crime.. hot men lots of them... lol great beaches.. cute animals.. and the best thing of all.. is.......
ME!!!!! lol
hey diva how you doing.. i have given up with plurk for now just not co-operating with me atm.. doesnt update and i miss most of the chat so.. whats the point.. lol.. might as well use a forum if i have to keep closing it off and reloading it..
Kelly im in love with my elliptical too and i went for 2 weeks eliiptical less .. i hated everyday of it and found myself depressed that i had lost my lovely macine.. i gained to.. but now i have my new one im in heaven . I understand how you feel .. and im sorry ....... very sorry... lol
Rhonda- I was thinking the same thing about the scale, but like Kelly said I think I may need the accountability. But I'm still thinking about it. Heck just jumping on the scale on weigh in days is hard for me. I had to put away my scale so I would only get on once a week. Keep up the good work with being OP I know the scales will show you some love next time
Josephine-I have an all day scrapbooking crop tomorrow from 9am to 6pm and I'm hoping to get a lot done on my son's album. They usually order pretty bad food, so I'm thinking of bringing my own lunch and snacks so I won't be tempted. I have been OP 17 days! No binge eating and I have tracked my points every day!
I'm looking forward to day #18 OP today! Hope everyone has a great OP day!!
Man, my little foray into strength training Wednesday night caught up with me this morning! OW! I haven't been sore like this in months.
Amy - Glad to see you back to posting. Sounds like you had an adventuresome time...
Josephine - TGIF is right. This week couldn't get any longer.
Tomorrow I'm going on a hike up to some waterfalls. Unfortunately the route is an out-and-back, which is kind of boring frankly, but it's closer to town than the loops I want to try. So I'll settle for this trek since it's supposed to show me the highest waterfalls East of the Mississippi! I'm not quite sure whether I'll have company for the hike or not... DH and I are in a little tiff (well... More like he exploded and I sat there in the ruins wondering what happened), and aren't really talking about it. So I'd be okay if he wants to have his pity party alone while I go do fun stuff in the mountains. We shall see!
Jennifer - WTG on being OP 17 days and not binging! That's wonderful! Bringing your own food to the scrapbooking thing sounds like a great idea. You wouldn't want the convenience of the bad foods to throw you off track and mess with your awesome progress! You are doing so well!!
Tonight, we're going for Happy Hour with bunch of friends to 'Howl at the Moon' in downtown Baltimore. One of my friends won something at this place and she can invite 100 people. Drinks are like $1 and first 2 are free with complimentary appetizer buffet. I'm not much of a drinker or to put it another way it doesn't take a lot for me to get drunk We're taking the metro to the harbor so it should be cool. Buffet might be a problem but I'm thinking I might be ok. We'll see.
Saturday, I have relatives coming over for dinner tomorrow night. My uncle (dad's brother), aunt and their family (sons and DILs) and my grandfather from VA. Oh and they've never been to our place before. So we had to cook for about 9 people (all cooked in advance and frozen) and clean our place. We still got our office to clean up which we'll work on tonight. Cuz I know they'll want a tour of our TH. There's still so much to do to make sure things go flawless
Sunday, is pretty much going to be recouping from all relatives overdoze
BTW Thanks Jaime, I found a No Sugar Added apple pie for my uncle @ Safeway. I've never had it before so I hope it's good.
Jen, that is awesome!!! Keep it going girl...OP days are the best.
Kelly im in love with my elliptical too and i went for 2 weeks eliiptical less .. i hated everyday of it and found myself depressed that i had lost my lovely macine.. i gained to.. but now i have my new one im in heaven . I understand how you feel .. and im sorry ....... very sorry... lol
I had to go over to my mother's house last night and get on her's for 45 minutes (not my usual length, but she wanted to do some Wii Yoga before Dad got home) I won't get any Elliptical time in today, but I plan on going over tomorrow morning to run again. I miss my morning wake-up buddy, not to mention that I am grumpier in the mornings without. Sucks for everyone else.

Try for another way to be accountable than the scale is it is really making you obsess.
I love scrapbooking just don't have time anymore and really miss it so I am jealous that you are doing a crop.
CONGRATS on 18 days OP!

I don't really have any fun weekend plans since my DH and DS are leaving Monday to go to a Cub Scout Resident Camp. Have to get them ready to go, but that means I have 4 days and 3 nights completely to myself - Yeah. Peace will reign!
Hello everyone! My pee is back to normal, and I am buying a cheap timer to remind me to drink my water. How sad is that?
I was up this week, but not surprised. I did not get to run while camping, and hiking with Meara is not really hiking. It is more like a super long dawdle, uphill.
We have a good weekend planned. A friend of ours lives out in the country, surrounded by corn fields and holds a CornFest every year. Lots of fun for the kids. They have flamingo races, which are hilarious. On Sunday, there is an RC Air show, and I think we will go to that. Or maybe just Chris and Will. Meara and I neither one care about RC planes and copters.
OK, I need to get the oil changed in the truck and hop to the bank. Friday always makes me happy, but PAYDAY Friday is the best!
Pinto - Have fun tonight! It sounds like it'll be a great time.
Jaime - The hike sounds like fun! Hopefully you and DH will have patched things up by then so you can both enjoy it together.
Hopefulpinkangel - I'm so very jealous of the crop you're going to! Running has totally cut into my energy/time for scrapbooking these past few months but the idea of scrapping for 9 hours seriously has me salivating here!
Josephine My plans for the weekend include taking DH out on a date tonight (I think I'll take him to the batting cage to help relieve stress from all the stupid stuff at work), helping a friend move tomorrow, and running my second 18K on Sunday. And sleeping. I really need to incorporate more sleep into my life!
And for me...I'm in Onederland!! I finally realized a couple of days ago that I was scared of crossing that threshold since it's been so long and I was making dumb food choices to keep the scale from moving. So I was smarter yesterday and now I'm 199. I'm giddy.
Last night I did my hill training and I kicked some serious butt. I'd only ramped myself up to do 7 reps last night but my running buddy and I pushed on and did 10! The total distance ended up being 9.9K and I burned 919 calories. I think I know where I lost that pound! I took care to do lots of cooldown and stretching and then an ice bath once the kids were in bed. My legs were still achy throughout the night but I'm not limping today at all. I'm taking a day off from running and I'll do some abs yoga instead.
...
.. and im sorry ....... very sorry... lol
