good afternoon gang

I'm staying in and working during lunch so I won't have to stay too long tonight (I hope!) I've got deadlines for the 15th for 4 places and I've got more paperwork than I can shuffle around.

I forgot to turn on my alarm last night, so needless to say I didn't wake up early enough to exercise. But I'll remember to turn the dang thing on tonight before I got to bed.

My plans for the week are to get the paperwork done for the 15th that has to be done and to exercise in the mornings and eat as well as I can in the middle of all this mess.

Hope everybody has a BLESSED day!
hugs,
Cathy

Good afternoon everyone

Well a new day and a new week, hope everyone has a good one.
Congrats on the weight loss skinny!
Not much on my agenda but to tidy up a bit. Stir fry for dinner, so that means lots of veggies. Judo starts back up tonight so hopefully I'll do some walking during that. They are calling for snow tonight, but thats fine as long as there isn't a bunch of wind.
Anyhow I should go and get a little more done before I have to run. Just wanted to say Hi! and thanks!
Take care all and have a great day!
K

It's beautiful here today - cold and clear!

Hey Skinny - hope your kids have a good first day back at school. What ya doing today?

Hey Buddly - it's good to see ya! how did Judo go last night?

Hey Leenie - that's awesome that you did well on your eating yesterday! Are things a little less crazy at work yet? or still crazy busy? I worked 9 hours at my desk yesterday doing year end forms. Probably gonna do about the same today I'm tired of paperwork but have way too much to think about it now ;-)

Where's the rest of our gang?

Hope everybody has a BLESSED day!
hugs,
Cathy

Hey guys. Good to see you posting. I am home today since hubby took the truck to work. I had to get stuff done for the sale of the house anyway.

Leens you can some live down here. We have lots of day that are warmer than what you get.

Skinny how old are you kiddos?

Cathy beware of the dreadful paper cuts.

I have been dealing with my meds this past week. I started my 3 weeks on these and all I do is think about food. It wasn't like this in the begining but I guess once it got in my system all **** broke loose. I am seeing the doc in the morning though. I am not going to live my life feeling hungry even when I am not just to have no depression. Gaining weight will make me even more depressed. I can't do my WW until I get this figured out. If I am freaking out about food now I will be a mess when I start that.

Good Evening everyone!
Not much new here. Unfortunatly I didn't get any walking in last night as hubby took C to judo. She loved it and stayed to help with an extra class. I did get a nice stir fry done tho. Today we've been under a heavy snowfall warning and now the wind has picked up and its starting to drift in the driveway. Hubby went out of town today, so hopefully I'll be able to get the snowblower going in the morning or else I'll get tons of exercise trying to shovel a path for my van! I have to get A and R up to the university for 10am.
Anyway I have to go and get dishes washed and find the counter.

Take care everyone,
K

good morning gang

I just did 2 fast miles and now I gotta hit the shower and get to work.

Skinny - yesterday was a great day to be outside playing. glad y'all got some time outside. today should be another good day for that and then I think it's suppose to rain for several days yuck enjoy your day!

Kemp - you are too cute "paper cuts" LOL cute! I hope you get everything worked out with your meds. I would also be aggravated with anything that made me hungry. keep us posted.

Buddly - hope y'all didn't get too much snow! I wouldn't even know how to drive in that stuff. be careful out there.

Hope everybody has a great BLESSED day today!
hugs,
Cathy

Ok, the meds have been changed. I will started on the tomorrow. She thought it was weird that all I did was think about food. Even though I didn't gain weight on the chart I todl her that the amount of exercise I have been doing I should have lost.

Bud you are one strong woman to live in such a cold area. I am a true southern girl. In fact it is 60 here and my fingers are having a hard time typing. I would never make it up there.

Cathy it is going to warm up a bit too. Did you see that next week we might have some sleet? We are heading back home for the week so I will be getting it too.

Skinny I love that age. Usually from 6 -10 I have a blast with them. I have a few friends with kids that age and I usually get in as much trouble playing with them as they do. You would think I would know better.

hi Everyone....

Wb Kempy!! Hope you remember me!

WTG Cathy, on getting back with the walking

Leenie.. what did you decide to do for your exercise?

I went back to WW last Wed for the first time since early Dec. I had hit a plateau since the third week in Oct and was SOOOOOO depressed. When I weighed in last week, I was exactly EXACTLY (to the tenth of a pound) what I weighed in early Dec. I guess that flu we caught was good for something! *lol

I got back to the gym.. I had been there 3x since early Aug... so for the past 2 weeks I have been exercising my little ole heart out... I was down 1.2 pounds tonight at weigh in.... leader figures I better start using the activity points I'm earning by exercising *lol... I can't believe I'm not eating them myself!!

Anyway.. I hope to finally hit my mini goal next week. I hope.. ThINK.. BELIEVE this plateau is finally OvER!!! *Wahoo!!
