Goodmorning..a rainy, dark and cold Monday morning here in New York. It was a nice weekend, but of course always too short. Feels like I just walked out of my office 5 minutes ago, and here I am again. But that's a good thing. Well, a good thing for my waist.
Wasn't too bad this weekend, food wise. I was very busy with parties and celebrations, so considering all, I was pretty good.
My sore neck/shoulder is finally better. It's a tinsy bit sore if I turn it the wrong way, but nothing compared to last week. I had my "friend" massage it for me over the weekend. He's so sweet, and made it feel allllll better.
Doitforme..Sound like you got lots of cleaning done this weekend. I love weekends that are actually productive. You're doing wonderful, setting goals seems to be really working for you. How was you're weekend with your parents?
Bella...Let me tell you. Pulling weeds is exercise to me. It's a workout! How was you're weekend?
GBO...Hope you're enjoying the time with your family this week. See you soon.
Losing4ME..WELCOME!!!! Glad you joined us. Congrats on you're loss! That is wonderful!!
PNG..I hope the loss stays lost! You're doing awseome with your workouts!
Velvet.. How was you're lunch with you're Mother? Hope you enjoyed yourself
Whoohoo! 10 pounds and 6.25 inches down! I feel like I just got an award or something weekend was good, had one day all to myself, one night all to hubby, and then yesterday, OMG I never want to spend that much time with family ever again, I LOVE Johnny's family to death, but yesterday was just....tooo....muuuuuuuuch!
I'm way not awake, someone remind me later to do individuals?
Well yesterday was a flop. I went WAY above my cal limit. I NEEDED the comfort foods. I spent most of the evening to early morning in the ER. Kimberly, my oldest, fell and split her head open. She needed 3 staples. What a night.
But I can't say that was the only time i cheeted on my diet!! The whole day was a flop. O'well. I'm back on the ban waggon today. The one thing I'm not going to be able to do, is going to the gym. My daughter can't wash her hair untill Wed. so I don't want to take her with bloody hair. And I don't want her to play with the other kids and re-split it. So I'll try to find time to do a workout video.
I am going to try to get to the gym and have them measure me and get weighed. I'll probably do that tomorrow.
Saturday was a good day. I got my hair done and my eyebrows waxed. It was good.
Hope all the mothers and had a great mothers day!!
My weekend was great, went out to dinner with mom/dad, niece and nephews, then was bad and had hot fudge sundae afterwards. I had already gone out to dinner on Friday night and not been good. So I skipped weigh in this morning and will wait a couple days, so I at least am where I was before I went home.
PNG2- CONGRADULATIONS ON THE 10 LBS AND ALL THOSE INCHES, WAY TO GO!
Bella- sorry to hear about your daughter, Jennifer, hope your neck and shoulder are feeling better. Velvet how was dinner with mom, Hope you all had an awesome weekend.
I just wanted to let everyone know I am doing good. Last night my husband and I got to go out for a special supper and he got me 6 roses and a rose bowl with a rose in it for mothers day. Also got a precious moments figurine that I collect. He was soooooo sweet. Yesterday was also my girls baptisms. That was the best mothers day gift I could ever get. Food wise was OK. Should have gotten alittle exercise though. This new medicine I am on makes me very thirsty so I am drinking 2-3 32 oz containers of water right now. I think that is getting easier even running to the bathroom all the time.
velvet--it was also nice talking to you online the other day.
Jenniffer glad to hear your soar sholder is getting better.
Bella23--Sorry to hear about your daughter. I hope she is OK.
PNG 2--Congrats on the weight lose and the inches. I have never measured myself but I know I have lost inches because I went down 2 dress/pant sizes from a 28 to a 24. I know how happy I felt so I know how excited you are.
Tammy--welcome hope you can find the insparation that I have found here.
Hi everyone. Just a quick post as I have to get Drake into the bath and into bed. I have to get BA to shrink this picture I took this morning of him doing his 'fish lips', what a ham!
Had a .2 gain this am at WW. I am a bit upset by it but it is not totally unexpected. I did terribly last week with my H20 intake and some unneeded snacking. Oh well, I'm going to do better this week.
Jenniffer - I got that shoulder/neck thing too! How did you manage to do that through the computer?!? lol I think mine is from lifting and carrying Drake so much. He's getting so big!
bella - sorry to hear about your daughter's accident, hope she is better.
Getting fully back on track today, starting off ok, cept of course there was a can of soda in the fridge, so I just HAD to have it, I marked myself down for the whole thing in my fitday, but now that I started it, I think I'll give it to either hubby or kiddie...lol
Well, I chatted with Beth Anne for a little bit this morning, and wanted to let you all know that she is sick, couldn't stay on long enough to post, but she did read, and I promised I'd let you all know why she's not around today.... I ordered her to lay around and do nothing but get better
well, I'm off for a while myself, gonna give the old puter a break, go throw the kids around for a while... hmm, how would I log that on my exercise log? Weight lifting? Aerobics? lol
Hi everyone. How are you? I am doing pretty good. OP and feeling alot better. Working right now, wondering where they are going to hit next with the lay offs. Pretty scary. Talking about 10% of employees, but they shouldn't come near me. Let's hope not anyways.
PNG..I am so amazed with you're loss this week. That is amazing and if anything that should inspire us all to get off our booties and move em. How'd you handle the soda?
bella.. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter Kimberly. How is she feeling? I hope much better. No wonder why you got off track. One of your babies was hurting. How are you doing now?
doitoforme..Sundaes! Love em! How are you doing now?
icewoman..Oh am so happy to hear you and hubby had a nice time. And it was the baptism, how exciting.
jen..My doctor told me it was from various things, typing for 8 hrs a day with ac blowing down on me, sleeping on my side, and of course stress. How's yours doing?
Thank all of you for your support. I am finely back OP today. I needed it!
My daughter is amazing!! Yesterday she acted like nothing happened. She needed no meds, and played like there was no tomorrow. I sure do love her!!!
I'm doing ok. Kinda nerve racked over they way she is playing (lol) but I'll be fine.
I went to the gym long enough to get weighed and measured. The measurments that the the trainer did are different then mine but by her account i either stayed the same or lost. So that was good. And since they only record my weight once a month, it looks like I lost, lol.
I didn't know if anyone would be interested but I found this great web site for anyone who needs help getting their house organized. It's www.flylady.net. It's great. I intend to incorperate my diet in with the routine as well. I am a horrible house keeper and I need all the help in that area that I can get.
I plan to plant a tree today and try to get some kind of movement in and I am really trying to work on my water!!
I'll check in tomorrow before I leave for my trip.
Jennifer, you make me blush hehe, I gave the soda to the kid, well, she drank 2 drinks then stirred cereal into it, so I dumped it Hoping I can keep up with the loss come next monday. Oi, I'd be sweating bullets if I had to worry about my job like that...
Bella: I know how kids are, a few years back, my oldest bit the front inch of her tongue almost off, had a little piece on either side holding it on, had to have it stitched together, and within a day or so, the only time it seemed to bother her was when she ate... that wasn't a very good Mothers day though, geesh! Another good place for organizatioin and for stretching dollars is www.frugalitynetwork.com you can learn all kinds of neat tricks there...
Well, now I'm feeling under, the kids I watch are sick, AGAIN, been cleaining up their bodily functions for the last hour or so, bleah... and my belly isn't doing too good maybe I'll cheap out and have some toast and tea for dinner...
I didn't have a good day eating wise, I did get to curves this morning to work out, but went out for lunch and ate chicken fingers and onion rings for dinner. Mom, did very well through the surgery, so hopefully I can plan better meals tom. Like maybe salad bar instead. But just pleased that she is doing good. Png- sorry to hear your tummy is upset, but cleaning bodily function messes can definitely do that. Bella- glad to hear your daughter is better. Jen- The sundae was good, hopefully tom I can be better with eating then today. Just happy to have mom come through the surgey o.k. Hope everyone has good day tom. I have a class at work, then I'll go to the hospital to spend the evening.
Goodmorning everyone. Happy Hump Day. This weeks to be flying by, which as always, is a VERY good thing. No word on my office being effected by the lay-offs. I was actually told about a position opening, supporting a VP. I would be estatic if I was able to land it. They looked over my resume and seem interested. Because it's an internal "move", they have to speak to my manager and then I'll see what happens. Cross your fingers for me.
Bella..So glad to hear your daughter is doing much better. Isn't it amazing how well children bounce back? Too bad we didn't. Any special reason why our planting a tree? I've always wanted to do that. When are you leaving for the trip? Are you excited?
PNG..Stirred cereal into it?!?!?!?
doitforme..I bet your relieved that your Mom is doing well. I know, any kind of surgery is scary.
Hi All,
I'm alive... but barely. It's amazing how these things knock you out. You feel like death and then about an hour later you feel a little better, but if you do too much, you go right back to feeling worse than you did originally!! Hubby and I are both home today hacking and sneezing and trying to avoid swallowing. I have no idea what I've caught, but this is the sickest I've felt since I had my adenoids out almost a year ago. I was hoping to go a year without a sinus infection, but I didn't quite make it. But hey, only 1 this year is definately eons better than the 2-3 I was having a month before!! I think we are both knocked out by colds and allergies... we seem to "break" our fevers at opposite times which makes life interesting... he's in the middle of a sweat fest and I'm in the middle of major chills, and vice versa. Thank goodness for tylenol cold and flu... too bad it only seems to work for 2 hours instead of the 4 it says!!!
I did lose yesterday, so that was good. Of course I am not OP right now since I'm just eating whatever I can manage to get down my throat!! Which hasn't been very much, but has been things like mac and cheese, stove top, soup, etc in very small portions.
Well I hope you all are doing better than me, hopefully you can avoid my cyber germs!!!!
Well, I'm officially sick with whatever this stomach bug is that these kids have, luckily, Ravyn and Johnny don't seem to get it when they make me sick, maybe because I'm working closely with them... belly is icccccccckkkky! eating dry cereal to try to get some food in without making myself sicker. My Mom's heart cath is today, so fo course she had to call and give me the timeline, and all the things that COULD go wrong, so now I'm on pins, needles, and railroad spikes until 3, which is when she's supposed to call me....
doitforme, I'm so glad everything went well with the surgery
Jenniffer, good luck with the job... and yes, stirred cereal in it... ick! If she has anything in an open glass, and also has a spoon handy, she feels the need to stir, well, the only spoon she had was from her cereal bowl...
Beth Anne, pooor pooor you, but at least you have someone to be miserable with... hope you and hubby both feel better soon!
Happy Rainy Day all!
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter Kimberly. How is she feeling? I hope much better. No wonder why you got off track. One of your babies was hurting. How are you doing now?
