just passing thru while Im waiting for my supper to finish here and wanted to say WEIGH TO GO SANDRA>>>>a new decade!! your on your way baby! hahah
ok back to cooking ..ttyl

Hey guys, it's been a doozy of a day. We've been at the house since 8:30 and just got home not too long ago. My mom and grandma and some friends came over. We got almost everything painted, there are still a few coats to go up. It's so much work. And now we have to write papers. I'm going to get started on it now! I'm SO tired, so some prayers and good wishes would be gladly accepted. Hope you are all well, I just can't catch up right now.

Oh, and I have been burning some serious calories but eating badly too!

Hey Chicks! I'm home from the shower and delivering the gifts for baby Sarah. Jim and I have eaten dinner (Chipotle for me). I'm now very tired and have some serious TOM cramps. I'm going to go lay down on the couch. The shower was just plain weird and the food was awful. I did the best I could. I'm not optimistic for my weigh in on Monday. All I can say is that I'll be there.

Melissa, I'm sure your home is looking beautiful! You were very wise to paint before you move the furniture in. It's SO much easier that way. I can't wait to see pictures. Enjoy yourselves. This is the time of your life!

Kathy, I hope you got your cereal.

Sandra, did you get your bushes done? I hope your foot is ok this time. I'm really glad you had fun with the Grands.

No Saundra?

I can't believe how seriously dead it was here today!

I'll be back in the morning.

thanks, patti. i'm feeling pretty darn good about now. now i need to set my memorial day goal more specifically.

melissa, i'm on my knees. you're bound to lose weight even if you're not eating exactly core.

vickie, i'm sorry the shower didn't go well. i hope you and jim can get some rest now. you've been running full force for days (weeks?) now. you have to be exhausted. i did finish the rosebushes in front. i have about 30 or so in the back to do. my foot made it all right but is very swollen. at least the incision stayed put. get some rest.

Good evening! I got dressed and am in the chair ... stewing, of course. It seems to be the way I spend my life, huh? Shaun left yesterday afternoon and isn't home yet. When he left, I said "are you coming home right afterward?" and he said yes. He was going to help someone who just bought a new front door. This guy came and picked him up. Now what? I'm mad.

Erin has gone to dinner with a friend from the pharmacy and Judd isn't home from golf. I sit here alone, as usual, having my pity party for one while watching TV.

I still can't find that particular cereal so I'm giving up. This is the one I want:



Now why on earth my stores have all the others and not this one is such a mystery to me. It's the only one I've liked so far, and it's also the only one that's Core.

I had a Special K cereal bar for breakfast and some milk. Then later I had two slices of American cheese and am now having a cup of green tea. Maybe Judd will want to get something for dinner when (if) he comes home.

Vickie, what was bad about the food? Did they at least have a salad bar there? I'm sorry the shower was uncomfortable for you. At least you got a nice dinner. As for w/i on Monday ... it'll happen soon. You are always so good to stick close to the plan.

Sandra, I hope your foot gets better soon. Has it swollen in the past? At least the incision is holding.

Melissa, way to go on all that work! Painting is the absolute worst thing, but it's always so nice when you're done because everything is so clean and fresh! When is the actual move going to take place?

Okay, I'm off to pout some more.

Kathy, sorry you're dealing with all of that. We are moving in some stuff throughout the week, the big move (furniture/boxes) is saturday.

Sandra, thank you. I hope that you are taking care of yourself. And congrats again. You're really inspiring.

Vickie, I'm sorry you had a cruddy day. I will try to remember to take some pics. Maybe I'll wait until it looks presentable.

Gals I am so tired I don't think I can stay up. Earlier this afternoon I had grand ideas of pulling a semi-all-nighter like I did in college since DH needs to use the book as well and he needs to sleep tonight (sunday morning is a work day for him!). BUT I just don't think I can do it anymore, especially not after a day like today. I haven't moved like that in a long time. I wonder how many aps you earn by painting?

Good night, and hope everyone has a great Sunday. I probably won't be by, except maybe to say hi.

Oh and Kathy I saw your tracker. CONGRATS!

Go get some rest now. You've earned it!

Hey Kath, thanks for beating the Indians!

Melissa, I went to an activity site that someone shared a while ago. I plugged in 193 pounds under the category of "indoor painting" for 4 hours (I didn't know how long your were at it) and it says you burned 1051 calories! Woo Hoo!

Kathy, that stinks that you are home alone again. Shaun is never going to change, is he? I'm still trying to find that cereal too. I need to go to WW site to see if I can find out who carries it in my area. Do they have a locator?

The food was all fried, cheesy, buttery, sweet....all things bad for healthy eating. I had a little bit of salad but I've been trying to stay away from restaurant salads because that was one of the things that hurt my stomach. I ate some pickled beets, a bit of salad, cucumbers in vinegar and asparagus. Then I picked at some fried chicken with the skin removed and ate a turkey hotdog with no bun. I also had a bit of cornmeal stuffing. It was literally the healthiest stuff they had. Harumpf!!!!

Hey....where's Frouf? Did I miss something?

Hmm ... I don't know! I can't remember her saying anything about being away, except that Emily had that dance thing that she had originally planned to drop her off at but now she decided to stay. Was that today or yesterday?

Judd finally got home and I am tee-totally miffed at him, so I'm back in the bedroom now. He walked in complaining about everything. I was sitting in the wrong chair, watching the wrong thing on TV, and I said I have as much right to sit here as anyone (no you don't!) and just because I'm watching something that you don't like doesn't mean it's crap (yes it does!) and I was just like ... whatever, dude, I'll leave. I hate hate hate this, and nobody understands. He gets to go on living his life, playing golf and going to movies and out to eat and on weekend trips while meanwhile I'm stuck here, in bed and in pain with no relief in sight. He could at least have a little bit of compassion but I guess that's too much to ask. He came in later and said he was sorry but then started in again about how I shouldn't be up anyway. I just wanted to scream SHUT UP AND GO AWAY but I didn't.

And I have no idea what to think about Shaun, so I won't think anything. I can't do it anymore.
