Starting today's thread. I'll be back in a few to post. (I have to go find my work ID, I think it's laying outside someplace in a puddle.)

Good morning, everyone!! How was everyone's weekend?? Mine was BUSY!! I can honestly say I'm glad to be back at work so I can have some time to relax. Here's a rundown of what my weekend was like: Friday started off busy, with yoga/pilates class at 6 a.m., a co-worker's garage sale for a couple of hours, work, second job, pricing and delivering stuff for my garage sale. Saturday, I got up early and headed to my friend's house for the garage sale, was there until about 1:30, had a wedding at 2, back to the garage sale for about an hour, then to the wedding reception at 5. After the wedding reception, back to the garage sale to load everything up. I went home and went right to bed. Yesterday I slept until noon, had stamp club at 1:30, and hung out with Aaron until about 9. Went home, packed bags for today (one for the gym in the morning, one for the gym over lunch, my stamp supply bag that I carry everywhere, and my lunch), went to bed. It just seems like I was going nonstop!!

Eating wasn't so great. Friday, I didn't do too bad, just went a few points over. Saturday started with a doughnut, then wedding reception food, and ended with a shake made with mint chocolate chip ice cream and hot fudge. Yesterday was only a few points over, too. The hostess for club had a fruit pizza that was delicious, but I don't feel too guilty, since it had fruit on it. I had a footlong from Subway with cheese, but Aaron and I took a nice, long walk with his dogs last night. So, hopefully WI won't be too bad tomorrow night.

Well, kiddos, that's about all I know. Our friends from up north (Canada) probably won't be around much today, since it's a holiday (the lucky ladies!!), but let's make it a busy thread day anyway!!

Ooh I would love a busy thread day! I just got to work. DH had the morning off so I slacked too and slept in til 9am. Wow do I feel rested! TOM attacked last night so extra sleep was such a blessing.

This wknd food wise was not good and I didn't exercise Sat or Sun. Today will be better though! We did put a bid on a house yesterday. They counter bid and we didn't except. We stuck with our original bid so we will find out today what they think of that. We just happen to know that the seller has another home already and they are eager so we thought we would play hard ball. We also only love the house b/c it is old and very "shabby chic" although DH doesn't quite get that part Other than that it is small and doesn't have a bsmt. We offered low and if they don't bite we will move on to somewhere with more space.

Jess~ Glad you can relax now that the work week has started.
How'd you do on the garage sale?? Thanks for starting the day by day I think it is helping me.

Hey girls.

I'm hanging around, but am totally off plan - like disgustingly so. I won't scare you with the details of all I've been eating, but it's not pretty. And exercise? What's that?

[kimobi]

So. DH and I drove about 23 hours in three days to attend a wedding ceremony that was about 20 minutes long, and a reception that was a few hours long and kind of on the boring side. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad we went and it was nice seeing my cousin get married. But there was so much traffic between Virginia and Connecticut, hence the mega driving times. I'm quite tired at the moment, and wish I could be at home sleeping all day.

On the bright side, my friend (whose wedding I'm in in October) picked out the bridesmaids dresses and I'm happy with them because a) I love the color - red, and b) they're from David's Bridal, which means I can pick out the dress I want and they come in plus sizes, just in case!

Hi girls! Sorry I've been MIA all last week! Life is majorally busy! The only reason I do get to pop in today is b/c it is a holiday! So far I've lost 3.4lbs since I started to go to meetings. Today was supposed to be my WI but b/c of the holiday I need to find a different meeting to go to. I'm scared though. I feel like I really did poorly this week. It is PMS time & this time its with a vengence. I did eat to the max points or over for most of the week My snacks were all healthy but I just kept gobbling them down Argh. I also didn't get in as much walking as I wanted b/c the weather has been really crappy. This week has to be better. TOM should start tomorrow so I should be a little better at controlling urges.

I read all the posts I missed finally. Glad to see some old faces reappear. Welcome to our new people.

Lexxy, get your butt back OP! You've done it before you can do it again.

Becky, That's so exciting that you've found your house! Let us know when you get it. BTW can you share some of your wedding pics with us?

Jes, sounds like a good weekend! Hope you have just as much fun the rest of the week

Anyway I need to go catch up on some house work & do some prep cooking for the week. I'll try to pop in later

Hi Kim! You posted while I was typing! That's a long trip in a short time! Hope you get to relax some now! Sexy red bm dresses! Awesome! That's some good motivation

Hello everyone ---

Trying to get back on track since it's not weekend anymore. I ate too much all weekend, but I did get a little exercise in.

I saw Anger Management this weekend, one of my friends hasn't seen the original Matrix so we couldn't go see the sequel yet! And that's about what my weekend was... Fairly boring. I can't wait until this weekend, finally a break!

Jess -- sounds like you had a much busier weekend than me - -hope you made lots of money on the garage sale

Becky -- good luck with the house!

Lexxy -- It's a new week, you're starting all over -- you can do it!

Kim -- Sounds like your weekend was busy too - I hate driving that much too

... and back to work ...

Hi Rina!

[Grace, Grace]

Hey ladies! They accepted the bid on the house!! I cannot believe it. DH is still a bit indecisive and nothing is official until we sign the papers. This is just a huge decision so I think we are feeling nervous about it. BTW thanks so much for listening to my house talk. It has been a huge support to me.

Lexxy- Hope you find your motivation and if you do see if she knows anything about mine

Kim- Wow that is a long wknd. I remember when I would do the drive home from school in Va. It was 12 hrs each way and we did it in a wknd. I always came back to school more worn out.


Rina- I would love to show some pics but I don't have a scanner so I will have to work on that. Dh's friend has one so maybe one night soon I will scan some pics. Thanks for the email encouraging me to come back.

Angie- Thank for the wishes of luck. So far all is well!

Hi everyone ...newbie here Jess said it was ok to jump into the daily thread...so here goes...

Jess...Wow! Your weekend was just a little busy! I was a lazy bum compared to you. Our weather here (GA) is nasty, so we didn't do much outside. dh is really wanting a camper...so looked at a couple places, just shopping around. Good luck with wi tomorrow!

Kim...I'm in a wedding in Oct. too (my brothers)...and the dress is from David's bridal! This one is black though. I need to lose a lot of weight to look 1/2 way decent...it's depressing.

Me in a nutshell...I'm Cindy...36...mom of 2 from GA. I'm a kindergarten teacher (7 days to go! ) and ready for a summer break. We go back Aug 5th, so it's going to fly by. I have joined ww countless times and have about 80 lbs to lose. I look forward to getting to know you all! I have lost 6.8 pounds this go round and will keep at it for as long as it takes. I weigh in usually on Saturday mornings.

Have a great Tuesday,
Cindy
