Annie, ya gotta take a pic of your pretty pearly whites! Have a safe trip tomorrow if I don't get on here later.

Julee, ooooooooo oogled!!! Even though it's by another man, it still sounds exciting to be noticed in sucha way!

Carol, YAY on almost another pound gone!!

Catherine, we have our heater set at 64, and it came on AGAIN, this morning. I don't think either of us are going to see the sun ever again. You deserved to splurge after your book launch. I'm just excited to know someone famous!!! Every time I read your post, I get more intrigued about your life. Himself is very lucky to have such a adventurous, smart, and funny lady.

Luan, um...I don't even know what to say. All I can do is you and hope it makes things a little better. I've had family problems too, and they aren't easy to get thru, or over. All you can do is do what's best for you and let the rest of them figure things out for themselves.

I'm off to get my shoes on and then out for my walk. I think I'll put some beans in my pocket and then each time around, I can transfer one to the other pocket and know how many laps I do. I'm too busy singing to the animals with my MP3 to be bothered with counting. Hmmm....singing to the animals, I bet that's why I saw a stampede outta the woods yesterday!

I guess I forgot Buffalo because I don't eat red meat and it's slips my mind. TOM TOM go away...come again when you'r eready to play nice with the other kids and not make me have such bad cramps...

hugs julee_ Tom is a bad bad boy!! i am having a snacky day. Im still within my calories but all i can think of is what to eat next. Guess i better lay off till dinner now. Not sure why im so hungry today. Thank God i dont have these days often!! going to go for a long walk after dinner tonight.

Debbie- good idea with the beans...i actually use pennys on my window seal to track my water intake. I also write them down daily>

my draling nephew feel asleep watching tv and his mom said now he wont sleep till 1am . I cant stay awake till 1 am.Im to old for this...i think im use to 2 yrs olds not 9 yrs olds.LOL

I also like iguana, if it's cooked right. If not, it's kind of greasy/soapy. I never cared for squirrel which was a passion of my grandfather's. My baby brother threatened to get out my grandfather's squirrel gun to come after himself if he didn't marry me proper. I think he still has nightmares of rednecks sneaking across the border with shotguns.

Ria: That avatar pic is so cute. Is that you? I will try to enjoy the pool. Great job walking 5 miles!

Catherine: So, when you do your book tour you can start out with a yo yo show! I'd love it.

Debbie: I will take a photo of my new straight teeth soon. Hope you enjoyed your walk.

Well, I gotta go pack. Just excited and nervous for my trip. I always get soooo homesick for my sweetie pie. We are rarely away from each other for more than a few days and this is going to be an almost 2 week trip!!!

If I can't check back in tomorrow, I'm hoping to before I go, but if not. Hugs and take care everyone.

Blessings,
Annie

Hi all,

Just a short note! You all are great! I exercised today walked 45 min And mowed the lawn for 15.. Lol tomorrow I will be so stiff! HAVE A GOOD TRIP DOGPAL!!

I just mowed half the lawn, and boy am I cranky.

Annie-I don't do any tricks, so a yo-yo demonstration would be really boring.

Hey All - how many can we sign up from the 300+ thread to do the July 4th 5k??? I told Gary I would help recruit - I may wear you out - read all about it in the support forum - who's in? The Easter 5k is what really got me moving with any distance, extended time - let's see how many of us can do it - bike - walk - run - swim - dance, etc. LET'S GET MOVING and have a great turnout!

C'mon - don't make me do it alone!

Can I do it on Canada Day?

Carol -- I'll join the 5k!

Catherine -- Yep, you can do it on Canada Day. Anytime July 2-6.

The thread is on the Weight Loss Support page if anyone wants to join!

Okay, ANOTHER quickie.
Luan, I'm so sorry things are bad, isn't there anything that can be done to REMOVE your relatives from the house, like saying your Gran is in danger from them or something? I don't know what to say except YOu are good & always remember, I truly believe that we get what we deserve, even if it takes a while, hang in there. I hope you get some good news or a change in circumstances real soon.xxxxxx
Annie, lol on the teeth my oldest son was the same, his teeth 'itched' for a few days!!! So glad you are enjoying your new job.I really thought your hubby was going to be with you, still it will be fun to be sisters together again & have a 'girly'time.xxxxxx
I have been reading the posts but I've been really down, worries over money & the car, arguements with hubby AND a bad shoulder which is making me feel sick with pain. I didn't want to be a downer so I'm just mentioning it so you know why I've not been posting much. Not heard from either job I applied for...sigh... Anyway I really need to RE-commit to OP & exercise, so here I am...trying AGAIN.
Julee, good for you, ANY compliment from a guy is nice, as long as it's not RUDE (naughty).You made me laugh with the 'no pants', in the UK pants are NOT trousers but UNDERWEAR, lol!!xxxxx
ok gotta try & get housework done as I've not done anything for days! the shame!
xxxxsharon

Thanks Catherine and Heather - I promised Gary I could get 5 of us to signup! Heather - any chance we could put an announcement at the top of this forum? I've been doing them since he started but it is sometimes hard to find.

Hugs to all,
Carol

Greetings all!

I'm in for the 5k !!

Luan, I'm sorry your family is giving you such grief. Mine did a while back and time has taken care of a lot of seemingly unresolvable issues. Hugs to you while you go through this difficult time.

Sharon, I hear ya about money. I'm dealing with the bank right now to get things in control. The bad part is that my current "Beau" and I had an "oopsie" moment and there's always a chance of a little ratkitten running around (so far negative). If that happens (has happened?), then money gets even tighter! Never a dull moment. I'm trying not to emo-eat. Always a struggle during stress!

Hugs and Luv to all!

HI...things here are so busy. I still have my nephew here. I will have all 3 little ones today also.
I totally blew my plan yesterday.I had mexican after having a snacky day. Oh well today is a new day.I will drink lots of water today to help flush out all that horrible food. Im putting on green beans early so i dont talk myself out of eating them.LOL I have decided to watch my carbs a bit closer today. I have been eating more starchy carbs and i think that is increasing my hunger. Its so much harder to eat right when you have other people in the house. After today it should be back to just us...so maybe i can get past this point.
carol_ i will sign up for the 5K.

sharon_ sorry your in pain...and all the other issues going on. Glad you are back with us!! life is just hard right now with all the increase in prices. I think all the US is starting to feel the crunch.I know we sure are!! I know its costing me more to feed me and hubby and daughter( when she is home) than it did when i was feeding all 5 of us plus half the neighborhood kids.

heather_HI

angel_ great job on the exercise

catherine_ i get cranky when i mow too.LOL

story - the tape measure is amazing at times even when the scales arent!!!

annie- have an awesome visit!!

julee- hope your feeling better today. TOM doesnt play nice at times!!!

Im off to get dressed and decide if im going to walk before the little ones get here or if im giong to do housework.
I am challenging everyone to drink as much water as possible today.Im aiming for gallon. I have to flush out all that salty mexican food!!
