I finally have time to catch up and post. I'm going on a trip next week, so this week I'm running around trying to get things done for that.

Good work everyone! We all have times when we eat better and times when we don't, but what makes us strong is that we keep trying!

I'm really enjoying the Body Flow class - the strengthening and flexibility work feels amazing! It probably doesn't burn as many calories, but I enjoy it more than anything else right now.

Vacation with my family will be a real challenge for me food-wise. I'm going to go to the grocery store and get healthy snacks so I can keep from getting too hungry and then scarfing whatever looks good on the menu. Wish me strength!!!

Hi Ladies

Jessica! You can do it.

I went for my interview this afternoon and she was talking to me like i'd got it and then she said "well, i've some more to interview but i'll definitely make a decision today" so i left and she rang a couple of hours later to tell me that i had got it

Eating is going extremely well and i'm working on the water i'll have to make a start with exercise next.

THURSDAY: Today is Time for Us Thursday. Make Time for you today, it is so important that you do!

Cat: congratulations, now do what the old ladies at the casinos do and rub the screen for luck and maybe I will get the job too!

Due to something sad and personal, I have removed my photo and info on myself. Feel free to e-mail or pm me if you would like to know why and I will talk to you about it. It is NOT site related.

Have a great day girls!

Faye

I'M BAAAACCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didja miss me???

Sorry to just disappear like that.......my computer came down with this godawful sasser virus and on Sunday night I couldn't even turn the damn thing on! With my show just a week and a half away, I just didn't have alot of time to mess with it. So DH slowly but surely picked away at it, and now I think I'm all set. There are still a couple of little bugs which we should be able to fix tonight.

What a mess! I can't believe how badly this messed up my routines......I stress-ate like crap all week, I didn't drink any water for 3 days, I haven't had time to exercise except for dance class and I'm freaking out about the show!! I MISSED YOU LADIES SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

Starting right now, I'm back on track........gotta detox the McD's and ice cream out of my system so I can dance well and run a 45 person show well next weekend. I don't have time to read all the old posts, so I hope everyone is doing well!

Almost done with my beading project for my fancy costume.....hopefully I'll get a picture of it this weekend and I 'll post it for you.

OH, Knhbdy......YES, I will be at Pennsic!!! It would be so cool to meet you. I camp up on the Serengetti, not sure of the address yet this year. We are in the Barony of Tir-y-don (they are in Atlantian territory......we used to live there) If you look for me, my sca name is Baroness Mira and my dh's name is Sir Cedric.

Well, anyway........gotta get back to my projects.

It is SOOOO great to be able to talk at you all again!

Later babes!
Julie

First off Thank God Julie !!! I was beginning to get worried, when you are so used to seeing someone post everyday and then nothing.....it was worrisome...glad to hear it was just your computer - yes I did miss ya!!!

Faye - Sorry to hear that, I will miss seeing your picture

Cat - CONGRATS< CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a 3 pointer yesterday, no exercise, maybe iffey on the water, but I think close enough...plan on doing my exercise dvd today...I cant believe it is going to get up to 82 degrees here today, hate to see that warm of weather as my ac has to work double time and all the time...well talk to you all later, have a great day!!!!

Hey ladies. I am sitting here "cooking" my hair as I have a hair appt and get it cut today! woohoo

Carri: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being concerned about me!
Mailing out your gift card this morning so be looking for it the first part of next week probably! Make sure you buy something grand and then tell us all about it!

Julie: I was so worried about you. I have all these terrible things pictured in my head and even asked around if I had missed a post that you were going away. We are glad you are back as we missed you bunches.

I can't wait to leave tomorrow after Jack gets off work. I am under a huge amount of personal stress and emotional pain right now and I need to get away and try to put it all into perspective. You may feel free to ask me or Carri now knows what is going on with me. All I can say is my husband is still here for me so whatever happens in my life I can always work through it with him at my side.

Did anyone see extreme makeover last night. I went to bed around 9:20 and didn't finish. I wanted to see how Monica from the Dr Phil show came out and the other woman with the bad teeth and liver spots did too.

Well, I need to go wash this gunk off.

Just want you all to know I love you all so much and miss you when you aren't here!

Faye

Good Morning...only have a couple seconds as I overslept an hour!

Julie - glad to see you back

Cat - Big congrats on the job!

Jessica - have a great time on your trip

I'll miss seeing the pic too Faye!

Didn't know you guys all thought I was so gorgeous!

SusAN: Hope you got to school okay getting up late.

Got my hair all cut off and it feels 20 lbs lighter. I wish I could say the same about my body. I am retaining water (tom) and it is very hot here so that makes it twice as bad. If I were blue I would look like that snotty little girl in the Willie Wonker movie who turned into a blueberry!

Have a great day ladies!

Faye

Girls, Girls, it is so hot here today, it is about 82 degrees and muggy, I know I better get used to it because our summer days are usually in the high 80's low 90's - I am going to go home and do my exercising in the A/C!!!

Faye - No problem, even though none of us have met face to face I feel like we know eachother well, my dh is always laughing at me for saying "Faye this or Julie that" and he thinks it is funny that I act like we have known eachother for years - but hey we share a "fat bond" like no other
I will let you guys know what I buy, I am thinking a new pair of shorts or capris for the summer, in my new size!!!! Speaking of Willy Wonka, I haven't seen that in a while, you made me wanna go home and watch it

Of course all of you are going to watch the series finale of FRIENDS tonight huh? You have too ha ha ha...If Ross and Rachel do not end up together then the whole thing has been lost with me...I think they will, they dont want to disappoint so many fans

Susan, Jessica, Cat, Julie, and everyone have a good afternoon

Thanks Ladies

Don't know if i'll be watching tonight or not i think they'll end up together too Carri i only watch it when there is nothing else on so there must'nt have been much on for a couple of weeks cos i've been watching

Faye, sorry to hear that you are having a rough time at the moment and i did rub the screen BTW Extreme Makeover was excellent and Monica looked fantastic especially her body! its amazing what a nip and tuck will do

I have had 3 excellent days eating wise and i'm looking to have lost some of what i gained over the Easter binge we'll see what tomorrow brings i've managed to drink 2pts of water today so far and i'm planning to walk for half an hour on my treadmill, it will be a month since i've been on it

Good Afternooon Ladies

My performance went really well yesterday, I had fun with it and got some good laughs and the costumes were really fun...good to get some use out of that prom dress again...which was almost TOO BIG to wear!

I don't have a tv so I can't watch, so you'll have to let me know what happens. I used to love Friends but lost track over the last 2 seasons because of my lack of television....always had the biggest crush on Chandler in high school.

FRIDAY: Fabulous Lbs Down Friday. Did we have any losses this week?

I watched Extreme Home makeover as I HORROR don't like friends and they did this makeover of 2 firemen's apartment in NYC and either local or ABC CUT THE LAST 2 MINUTES OFF! I was furious.


Hope everyone does well today and I will check in later.

Faye

GOod Morning Lovelies!

No Pounds Down this week.......but I did manage a 4 point day yesterday. I almost didn't think I exercised, but then I remembered that I took little 10 minute breaks from my sewing all day and rode my bike a little. It's not much, but it was more than I have been doing all week.

Got my assistant director coming over today to do last minute "to do" lists and record a master cd of all the music in the show. I'm finally starting to burn out.....getting tired of focusing on the show every day for 6 months. One more week. I did manage to finish most of my red beaded costume. Still have a little fringe to go on the belt. Haven't even started on my coin costume, but that one is much simpler! Thank the gods for !

Anyhoo, gotta get going......... hope everyone has a great day. I didn't watch friends cuz we have Direct TV and don't get local channels. That's changing, though, I cancelled the service after our 1 year contract is up at the end of the month. The lady was so totally shocked......like, WHY would you want to cancel your tv????

Later babes,
Julie

Morning Everyone


I did have some pounds down this morning, I was down 1.5 pounds, and I will take it after last weeks no loss!!!
I didnt have any points yesterday, I went off program by not much but still it was over so no points Will do much better today !!!

I got my Friends fix and it was good, now I dont know what to do on Thursdays

Julie - Good luck with the show, 6 mos you have been working on this? Yeah you will be glad to get it wrapped up huh? We used to have DTV and paid like $80 a month for it, then we cancelled it for cheaper cable and now low and behold my cable bill is up to $85.00 , something has got to give, I have to cancel something, and soon....

Susan - Glad you performance went well !!

Cant wait to hear about the other losses!!!

All these talented ladies and their acting and performance. Susan, glad yours went well and Julie hope yours goes terrific as well.

I,unfortunately, have gained again, but though I am NOT excusing this, I have just not felt like working on my program for the last 2 or 3 days. I cannot blame anyone but myself no matter what the circumstances, but I hope this weekend away will help me put the personal issues into perspective so I can come back raring to go again and get the rest of this weight off. I must be still losing inches because I continue to have people tell me it looks like I have lost more weight and I just bought a pair of capris in a smaller size than I usually have to get to fit over my big behind.

Carri: I don't know if you are a Wallie shopper, but they have some DARLING capris and matching tops. I bought a t-shirt and capris and spent about $22 total on it.

I will try and check in tonight after we get checked into the hotel.
