Hmmm..... Danielle, you raise an interesting point. Instead of using the 240v label I could use, say, the 60v label. Yes, yes I think you're onto something...
Well I finally made it today!!! Been one of those days starting out with an exam that I have a feeling I aced. But I spent my morning studying. After classes I went to get groceries and to find a deal on a new thermometer for the school, theirs broke so pta bought a new one. Then I had this huge miscommunication fiasco with my older daughter and her getting home from school which entailed me driving all over town! IN the rain! And then yesterday I thought I had a meeting at school...nope its tonight! I just hate days like this!! Af is giving me fits! But I'm getting my water in and we are having a really good dinner tonight...beef n broccoli over rice! YUM!
Mia...what a little princess you have!! I've got one of those skinny husbands too, although he constantly thinks he needs to lose weight...bratS!! when I switched scales it put me up a bunch too, just remember its just a number and scales are for fish! LOL!!
Heather!! congrats on your acceptance!! I'm so happy you got in somewhere you are excited about!! I hope your foot feels better soon!
Trish...okay girl did you get that exercise in? I know what you mean about school, I've had times where I felt like I should take a semester off and work and catch us up on some financial stuff but everyone tells me dont you dare, once you stop you wont go back. So I didnt.
Liz...the characters in your life crack me up! LOL!! Jim the lunch stealer. Reminds me of that friends episode where someone ate Ross' sandwich! LOL!! Maybe you need to REALLY start messing with him! LOL!
Bonnie...wtg on that exercise today!!! WOOHOO!! 300 crunches...are you crazy! LOL!! Excellent job!
Amanda...CHEATER!! LOL, jk. Its okay to share your wonderfulness with others just dont abandon us!! LOL! oh and hey.....bob is my boyfriend so back off!!! LOL!! Isnt he just a doll! Although I'm not liking his hair, I'm sure it'll grow on me!
Danielle...I dunno if I like Bobs hair!! But I fell in love with him again when he took his team to workout after they lost the competition so that they werent feeding their emotions. He is just the best!! I dunno about Kim yet, I think I like her better than Jillian but we'll see. I puffy heart bob!
Sara....WTG!!! congrats on your victory!! You are just shrinking away! And see you didnt have to run to do it!! Way to go!! Keep up the good work and just think of all those skinny clothes in your future!
Whew!!! I made it!! I hope everyone is having a warm snuggly evening! Its so rainy and cold here and out into it I got to go listen to a forum in interviewing tips...wooohooo!!! I know you are all just green with envy! I may be late again tomorrow morning, another exam! Have a great one!! Its WI day for me! Last one before I start counting leaves!! Hey how is everyone doing on their miles for their challenge trip?
There ya are Melissa! So good to have you with us finally today. I am more than positive you aced your test, you are such a smartie!!! I have to giggle at your mistake about your meeting for tonight--it is so me! Can't tell ya how many times I've insisted certain things were on certain dates, only to realize that I was either a day ahead or behind! Hence the reason I got a PalmPilot for Xmas 2 years ago! lol As for it being warm and snuggly....good lordy no it's not! Please, someone crank up the a/c it's hot in here!!!! Keepin my fingers crossed for your weigh-in tomorrow. I have mine too, AF has been here so I dunno what to expect. At least I can look back on the week with my head held high though!!! BTW, I like Bob's hair!!! DS's hair is cut in a very similar style but alot shorter in the back...he doesn't have that mullet thing happening like Bob's is tending to do. LOL His laugh gets me, it makes me smile cause it can be so dorky sometimes. I ♥ Bob!
Amanda, yes yes....you can show 'em whose boss now! Maybe now they'll letcha start playin with all the tools & wires?! heehee Where exactly are all these stickers going? Would be funny to watch a bunch of macho men cry wouldn't it?
i have a ? for all you bl fans do that bob guy have a workout video? i know they have the bl site but i really didnt want to pay for another online site
yes he does!! Its the biggest loser workout and he's amazing on it!! He'll kick your butt!! The dvd is great it has 4 different workouts warm up and cool down. Be ready to do some squats and lunges though, he just loves those!
the dvd is great. While the group has issues staying together, the actual moves he has you doing are amazing. When I was doing it consistently several months back, I had great results in my lower body, especially my hips.
TGIF I am soo glad that this week has come to and end. I am soo sore from working out yesturday and then I took my two mile walk. I am going to get ready to walk to the store I have decided to go shopping for a bit. I am going to check out Halloween Decorations. I will be the first to say that I always go over board I have sooo Much stuff. Expecially when it comes to christmas I start in Nov . So by christmas I will have all my decoration up.
I hope that everyone is doing well and making their goals I drank 4 of my 6 bottles of water yesturday and that made me feel good. I have to run and I will check back in later.
I'm sorry, I forgot to answer your question Danielle. The company I work for manufactures controls for robots. The robots are used in auto plants and industrial factories.
You know I was thinking this morning that I could test their math skills. Instead of putting 60v tags on 240v circuit breakers, I'll put four 60v tags on those circuit breakers. That way they can't accuse me of sabatoge. That's what I'm doing on Saturday as well as putting serial number stickers on the components used to make the controls. Then I'll have to put the part numbers and serial numbers on the controls themselves. It's very tedious.
The production group leader asked me if I'd be willing to stay until 2:30 instead of noon to work a full eight hours. I told him, "OK. Noon it is!"
Morning Bonnie! You're such an inspiration. I can't say that enough times to you. There's a Kmart almost a mile away from me and a grocery store across the street. I really should walk to those places more often.
I love to decorate for Christmas too. I've sort of taken over the lobby at my job. It used to look so crappy! I bought some plants, and I decorate for the seasons. I just decorated for fall!
hi everyone thanks for the comments about the baby she is a handful she is learning how to crawl and she said her first word dada its going to be interesting how she is going to do on a 14hr trip to new orleans now that she is use to being active
bye the way i love the nature valley granola bars they are so good im buying a box to take on the road now all i have to do is think of other healthy snacks to take im not going to lie i know its going to be hard............
anyway i have a daily goal today since i have been slacking im going to exercise at least 30min
how is everyone today?
also im hit with a double whammy not only am i going on this trip which i know im not going to be able to diet as well but tmo is suppose to come at the end of the month! im on seasonal birth control so its the first in 3months i know its going to be bad someone help meeeee
Good Morning lovelies!!! I had to pop in quickly and let you know WI results...down 1 lb!! Not to bad considering yesterday I had peanut M&Ms for lunch!!! Its AF's fault! Shes trying to kick my butt but I still lost a lb despite her and her evil cravings!! Okay, off to study some more before my exam in 45 minutes! Have a wonderful morning all! I'll check back this afternoon!
Good morning girls! I am so glad the week is coming to an end. It's been stressful with all the sick going around here, so finally now that we're all starting to feel better, it will be nice to just have down time because we want it! Actually, I think my kids have other plans for dear ole mom this weekend-- haircuts, and clothes shopping for DS. Teenagers!
Hey! I managed to lose .5 a pound this week! I'll take it considering I didn't do any exercise and AF has been here. Not too shabby all things considered I guess. Will be turning up that exercise this week now that I can elevate my heart rate without going into coughing fits. Finally! We start counting leaves this week ladies! If you havent made your trees yet, best drag out those crayons and scissors!!!! I, for one, cannot wait to see those leaves start falling! I was talking to my sister the other day and she was motivated to make a tree too. She's the one that's preggers but the dr. said it wouldn't hurt her to drop a few pounds since she is overweight. She is feeling really good now into her 2nd trimester so all things look good!
Amanda, pretty soon you mess with those guys you'll have them using their fingers & toes to count with! LOL Would be so funny to see their faces if you really did that. Would probably be the last time they ever asked you for help, huh?
Bonnie, you got a good sore going on! Good for you for getting out there and getting those walks in. My sister & BIL start decorating for halloween in September & for Xmas starting in November. Their entire house is covered from top to bottom in decorations. It's a little frightning IMO, but I think now that they have their baby and she's mobile they will have to tone down alot of what they used to do. Have a great weekend!
Mia, I'm glad you found something that you like to snack on. Are you planning on taking any sort of ice chest or anything? Taking string cheese or maybe some veggies would be great to snack on in the car--no mess. Nuts would be good too. Take extra's if you can, or get some stuff while you're there to snack on, any bit will help your efforts for weight loss. I find personally that it's not so much the actual food that causes me to gain while I vacation, it's all the unhealthy snacks that I stuff in my face! Most of all, enjoy yourself!
Melissa, WTG lady!!! 1 pound is awesome considering that ole witch is being underhanded and sneaky. But you showed her who's boss & that's all that matters! Now on to bigger & better weightloss next week now that she'll be leaving!! Can't wait to see what kind of results you get then.
WOOOHOOO Danielle!! Way to go on the loss lady!!! And now the exercise can begin!! I think we are both going to be ripping down some leaves next week!! I'm excited to start!
How come its so quiet here today? Everyone okay? I hope so! I'm having a great day so far. Sticking to plan, thought for sure I was gonna need a coffee this morning since I got up at 530 to study but so far I've been okay, no mochas for me! Thank goodness its the weekend though! Tomorrow I plan to do nothing but clean and clean and clean this nasty house.
Well I'm off to school again for an assembly. Should be fun, its American Indian Heritage day I bet it'll be really interesting. I hope everyone gets a moment to check in! Have a wonderful afternoon!
