jdoggmartin: I have some 2 pound each glove weights that I take on my walk with me. I do some curls etc with them while I walk.
I also the WATP video and she uses the weights also.

StarPrincess: You are right...it probably does come out to less. There was still so much in the bag after I took out the chicken. It was yummy.
WOOHOO Short Skirt!!!! You go get em. Are you moving on to try and convert gay men now? oh, that one may not be funny

Did Shimma set a date? I didn't hear anything about the ring.....did I miss something! Shimma fill us in please.

I keep a set of 8 pound weights by my couch. I do arm work when I'm watching tv. Did I mention that I can see my biceps when I flex for the first time ever???? Wa-hoo!!!!



LMAO - Jane! Ah, my Nathan adore me to death until he remembers I have "girl parts". I just have to have them all, don't I?

Oh heck. I'm out of the loop here and out of "shape" in catching up on posts. How about I just say a "wave" to all and tell you that if you've never been w/out the internet (and TFC) then you're not going to believe the withdrawals!!! I thought giving up carbs was tough--giving up TFC is hard also Needless to say my internet is now fixed and I'm back. Back on track after eating over the Easter weekend like a pig also. OINK.
I saw the cutest 2 piece swimming suit. If I ever get the guts (or lack of one) I might just buy it. It's not a "true" bikini as the bottom has a "skirt" around it. I used to have one like that (and of course it's getting ratty) and it was so slimming. I'm hoping to get into it before the heat (and swimming season) gets here. I still haven't gotten the guts (once again, or lack of) to try smaller clothes on at the store. UGH! Maybe this week?? Ok. That should bring ya up to date with me.

OK OK OK
In the rewards thread I said my reward was gonna be looking great in my wedding dress. The BF and I have been talking a LOT about getting married lately and basically.... yes we're gonna do it.... and yes we've picked the month and the year.... but No, there is no ring yet. He wants to surprise me with it and so I'm probably going to have to wait forever until he finds the perfect moment. So, I guess we've done things backwards..... but it works.

YEAH!! Congratulations!! So when is the date?????

October 2005 A ways off yet....

not a LOOONNNGG way though. Oh so exciting!!

thanks!

Keep us informed as you do things. Are you having a big wedding? church wedding? mini bride/groom? etc.

Well, I' m kind of refusing to plan anything until I get my ring. Otherwise I think I just look kind of crazy running around planning a wedding when I' m not even engaged.
And I wouldn't wanna look psycho!

Welcome back Brenda!

Shimma: Ah, now I understand. Hey backwards works too!

Hey, Brenda! I know what you mean about 3FC withdrawls. I had them, too, while I was on my trip. It's a terrible thing!

Shimma: Well, congrats!!! Whatever works for you guys. Who cares if it's backwards???

Jane: I meant to mention this earlier -- thanks for posting that recipe. It sounds so tasty!

Star: WOW!! A married female friend in love with you??? Miss a week, and you miss out on a lot!

Thanks for the tips on the arm exercises, ladies. I need to get moving on those!

If you want all the details, you can check out last Wednesday's daily chat.

Hi Everyone!
I've returned from Las Vegas and am back at school in Boston. And what a change. Somehow it's still raining here, though the roomie informs me it was actually sunny for a couple of days in my absence. I didn't do as bad on vacation as I thought. I managed to confine myself to low-carb items for the most part, though the buffet at Paris did get the better of me as I endulged in creamed spinach and sugar-free cheesecake. But that was as bad as I got. Also, gym and spa privliges at the hotel were 25$ a day, so I haven't gone in about a week, but our suite was all the way at the end of hall, so it was literally about 2 city blocks from the elevator. I feel like I got a decent amount of exercise just walking from place to place. I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. I wish I had time for personals, but I've got a million and a half things to do today, so I'll check in more thoughroughly tonight or tomorrow morning.
