YAYYYYY for LEeanne!!!! Now if I could only get up of my flabby Arse and even walk that far. Well, Leanne...I know you hanging at the 143 mark but remember your own words! You can see your body shaping ...you are gaining muscles! When I was really hardcore into lifting...I weighed 145 and was in a size 5/6 at 5'10...so don't worry about the lbs...yah listen to the advice from me! the biggest pound hound in the world!lol Now I will have to emulate you and get my butt to the gym and on the treadmill!

Poor Grassie...no dairy? I can't fathom that..especially since I am going thru a milk craving phase again...ick...so I'm trying to fill up on water instead. Are you lactose intolerant? Are you still following the SB thing? It was you who was on it right?

Tulip, you make me laff...put on the sweats and the shoes...then too tired after tieing them up!lol..too funny...as for Ozzy not wanting to go out to pee in the rain...my dobie has perfected the Porch Pee Technique. She goes outside on the porch, puts her hindend over enuff to stick out over the grass, but not get wet mind you, and pees off the edge of the porch..then bangs on the door to come back in! Maybe she can teach Ozzy!lol

Have a great Friday ladies! I'll see everyone tomorrow nite!

Okay, you're making it really hard for me and TF to stay on the couch you know. just kidding! Congratulations!!!!!! That's really great! You'll be ready for that 10K with even better time that you thought at this rate!!! I'm really impressed.

Feel like crap today. Like I got run over by a bunch of babies, with baby hammers! I have bruises all over and my right should is in terrible pain. Had some deep massage done last night - I think I would be feeling worse without it. Ate my new breakfast this morning. It was yummy. Now I'm doing my best to figure out what to put on my salad. Can't have dairy or viniger. He's warned that as I detox I will probably gain water weight. That's just what I was hoping for...more weight.

I hope you guys have a great weekend!! I'll check in later tonight! It looks like a beautiful day today!!

HS glad you're back!

Hiya, just a quickie....
Cold but clear day here...all the kids had a sleepover last night, so me and hubby had the place to ourselves..had a treat by WALKING to the pub and having a chinese takeaway...i know it was bad but tasted sooooo good. As for the walking!!!!! ha beat you off the couch LG, I need to rest and regain my strenght today...don't want to over do it!! LOL

Have a good weekend everyone!

Morning everyone! Hope you are all having a nice weekend...it's bitterly cold here and we are STILL getting snow..only a millimeter last nite..which is good...now it's sunny.

LG:: There are alot of nice flavored oils out there that taste great on salads! And see if you can use sesame oil...it's got a great taste all on its own. Hope you get over the babyhammer beating! I need a massage in the worst way...and a chiro adjustment...

Tulip! Walkign to the Pub is good...and Chinese is only bad if you've had the deepfried stuff like wontons or chicken balls....but if you've had the good stuff with lean meat and lotsa veggies then you did good! Enjoy your R&R today!

LEANNNNEEEE are you covered in snow up there in Pet???lol

Happy Sunday to all!

Wow, my scale really liked me this morning.....141.8....yeah!

Hotsplashes, yes it is cold cold cold here...BUT, I see that you guys are supposed to get a heck of a snow storm today, hopefully you dont have to go anywhere today!...

Well, I better get ready to go to the gym....Have a great day everyone

I know you guys will have no sympathy for this but we have 2 inches of snow and are expected to get between 4 and 6 more. The problem is that then it's going to turn to ice. The last time we had ice everyone lost power. My house lost it for over a week!! My fish froze to death in the tank right beside the fire place!! We just aren't built for weather like this. It doesn't make sense for us to spend money on snow plows and stuff like that - we just don't get this kind of weather very often.

I know - 2 inches is NOTHING Not here! There are kids already trying to build snow men all over then neighborhood. I'm trying to round up fire wood. Everyone is sold out. The joke here is that after a snow all the southerners make french toast. A northerner decided this after realizing we all buy Eggs, Bread and milk.

Haven't been on the scales lately. Doc says I'll put on water weight trying to detox. Thanks for the oil advice HS. I was planning a trip to the Whole Foods store today - then snow. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow afternoon.

TF I still didn't make it to my gym. I did do 30 minutes of pillates. does that count??? I didn't wear the appropriate work out clothes though - so probably not.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!!

LG if you'd have put the appropriate clothes on you'd have burnt a few more calories up!!!!
As for the snow...my kids would love 2" of snow...we have been warned of bad weather for the following week, the school have been put on snow alert but it doesn't last long mostly on the hills around the cotswold areas.

Leanne - well done on your loss..keep up the good work!! going to the gym even in the bad weather...I'm impressed!

Splashes I was good walking to the pub wasn't i? but the chinese...I've got to confess, we had wontons & sesame prawn toasts which was bad - but then we did have some good stuff as well with lean meat and lots of veggies so then I did good! A bit of a mixed weekend then!! lol

It's that ToM now and today (Sun) i've been very bad...i'm seriously depressed as i've only got one more week at work, and no alternative on the horizon, i'm getting on everyone's nerves here and have eaten everything that's moved today!!!
toast, cake and custard, cauliflower cheese, crossiants, crisps....oh i have been so bad...i've got to try really hard tomorrow otherwise i'll be piling the pounds back on!! I'm dead mad with my self!

Oh well - hope your having a better weekend than i am...sorry to ramble on but i do feel a bit better for getting it off my chest!! thanks

Leanne - I forgot to congratulate you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You must be sooo proud of yourself!!! We're certainly proud of you!!

TF - I'm so sorry for your job situation. You have every single right to be depressed and upset. But you are worth so much more than eating crappy food! We all are!!!! Eating bad food will only make you feel bad about yourself in the end. We're all going to cheat, but stay on the wagon!!! And stay on this board! You will find an alternative!! And you WILL hit your goals! Enjoy your last week!!!

Oh, Next time I'll make sure I wear the right clothes!

Still raining - freezing rain. No school tomorrow. No work either. Yippie!!!!

Tulip, stay on the bandwagon like Grassie said...you'll feel better both physically and mentally. I am so sorry to hear this is your last week. But I always believe that when one door closes, another opens. Maybe it was meant to happen, and for you to move on to something bigger and better. Of course I am the eternal optimist....keep up a good face for the kids at least.

Grassie you are lucky, no school and no work. I wish I could say the same thing...but unfortunately someone's gotta feed the ponies!

Leanne, congrats on the poundage loss! I too stepped on the dreaded scales today and found I am down two pounds. Still 2lbs away from what I was before the holidays tho!

Have a great week everyone!

Hey Ladies

Happy Monday....

My son was up at what felt like the crack of dawn (7:15 am) and I am so tired, but I went to the gym anyways...Today I did my upper body workout and my arms are still shaking but it was a good workout....

My scale is still my friend...I tried NOT to step on it this morning but curiosity got the best of me..........141.6...........hey, I'll take it!...

Congrats to everyone for going to the gym and working out, and making the best out of all this yucky snow and COLD weather!

Oh, time to go and get my son from pre-school.........

TF - how funny! I'd do the same scales trick but I'm afraid one magazine would put me over the top right now. I did get on the scales and discovered I'm down 2 pounds from last wednesday. I guess that's good. Still not at the weight I was at before Christmas break.

Well guys, believe it or not my Dear BF is knitting me a scarf right now. (knitting machine) I'd better go help. Have a great day!!

Started off with freezing rain at 6am this morning and ended up with over a foot of snow as of pm. It is horrid out there. I've shovelled twice, and it still keeps coming. The horses at work look at me when I get them ready to go outside on the walker as if to say.."Are you NUTS?!?!?!" so needless to say I have some very unhappy ponies. My own horse however was nice and cozy in her little stall at her farm.

Hay, Grassie! Maybe yer bf could knit scarves for my racehorses!lol

Tulip, when it rains it pours for you...two interviews already...I hope you find something you love...and my wishes are with you!

Leanne...what motivation you have...wanna send some to me next time youa re down this way?LOL

Today's eating was horrible...4 bowls of sugarpops, 2 at breaky, and 2 for lunch...but i did end up with a bagel w/creamcheese for supper...and yes I feel like chit now.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I will be hitting Tim Hortons for tea and coffee for me and my barnmates...and a wholewheat bagel with creamcheese first thing before work...maybe that will start my day off better. I finished off the box of Sugar Pops!

Stay warm ladies
