Hi girls, just finishing up reading up on your weekends...feeling a little better I'm not the only one who slipped up a bit.
Pardon my ignorance, esp regarding religious diversity, but what is Purium? What does it mean and what is the religion it is a part of? I can't believe I don't know what it is. The baskets of nice foods sounds nice to share with others...is it a bit like Fat Tuesday?
Jenny, how did you bowl Saturday? Did you go out for fun or are you in a league too? I had a crap night, my average is 162...I had 127-167-158....but by the end I was too drunk to really know what I was doing...LOL, some reason my friends were feeling generous, and every time I turned around someone was handing my share of a group shot....OMG with the two different "cliques" of gals I hang around with, twice I turned around, did one shot, walked away into THE OTHER circle of girls doing TWO in a row...OMG I'm lucky I didn't get sick all over the place. (Usually the one group of girls doesn't even drink, or buy their own, so I do like one with them and shots with the other group but dear goodness, both groups doing shots, I was out of my mind!) I still like my new ball, and I love the way I throw it, but it's tough to control, hooks too much for me, I need to throw the ball REALLY hard.
Yes, and what is Casmir Pulaski day!?! How am I so out of the loop?
Teror~the show is what, less than two weeks away! The rehearsals must be getting BRUTAL! And DH is on board too! Salad is a good start, you can even "man" it up a bit by adding in slivers of steak or southwestern chicken. I'm a scrapper but I don't dabble much in rubber stamping (I have a few though), so the chickie one sounds cute, if you scan it, maybe we can add it as an icon under our profiles. Oh do you have any pictures of you performing? I'd love to see them~you should have a website.
Hi lovemacon, didn't get a chance to welcome you last week! If you're having trouble with the water, do ever add lemon, lime or orange wedges to the water? I like to add one of them, but the bottle in the freezer and let it get icy before drinking it, YUM! What walking video do you do? I have a few good ones taped from fitTV but as I keep telling people, I'm too much of a gym rat, I'm not much for working out at home, unless you count housekeeping.
Suz, the oreo milkshake sounds divine!!! YUMMO! But, whether you wanna hear it or not, you may not be out of the baby woods yet, the TOM LATE, the queasiness, etc....esp if this TOM is light and only lasts a short time, you should still check it out. Like you said, it was probably a gastro bug, but you never know. It's pretty normal to be a little disappointed even though it wasn't something you wanted yet....
Hi Jenni!!! Did I ever tell you guys that before I was in nursing school, I worked at my dad's factory doing some light welding and shipping and whatnot, and once in awhile I got to drive a tow-motor, which I think is pretty close to a forklift, it's funny to say you're a chick who drives one. I would just drive around waving to all my friends like I was the visiting queen or something...mostly the employees just tolerated me because they knew my dad and knew I was just summer help, but still. I love hard-hat and steel-toed-boots MEN-- those men got me in alot of trouble that summer! If my dad only knew! LOL
The movie we rented was First Man (?) the one where Robin Williams gets elected president...I thought it was boring but DH enjoyed it. I think RW is a little one-dimentional. Still enjoyable, but I must not have been in the mood for him right then.
Robin, you're doing great!!! I'd call this weekend celebration your calorie cycling, LOL that's what I say when I go a bit overboard.....2000 calories or whatever still isn't as much as we would typically eat "back then", YKWIM? I still can't believe how quickly the weight is coming off, you breezed right through those 190s. Oh yes, and I finally had cauliflower, the steamed frozen kind, garlic and cauli, and I gotta tell ya, I didn't like it much!
I wish I did though, I know you love it so much. Let us know how the Dr. goes, is it medical or gyn?
Speaking of which, Brandy, did you ever find out the results of your labwork? I meant to ask last week, but never got around to it. Check you out! I noticed you said you got your 4 mile walk in already, AT 7 IN THE MORNING! You rock! What do you do? Get up way early and go to the gym? A treadmill in the basement? Obviously I don't do the 9-5 thing so I can't do it that way, but I always thought it would be cool to be one of those 5am aerobics class girls, getting the workout in before the day even begins. My gym isn't even open that early anyways. Do you feel energized all day or do you crash by lunch time?
Shelby, I really like you saying this...."Practice my patience, stress relief and quit waiting to be thin to live and start living for the enjoyment of it again!!" A friend of mine finally made it to maintenance and we're both just so confused, what are we going to do with our time besides stress over every little calorie, every exercise, etc....we should be living and enjoying it all the whole time~! I hate that I say things like, I'm going to ------when I get thin, we SHOULD be having fun and living life to the fullest NOW!
Now I feel like I'm just rambling. I work tonight 7p, tomorrow night 7p and then Fri-Sat-Sun....Blah, but I'm thinking about calling off this weekend for my FIL birthday party, but it's time change and i can't resist going to work 11 hours and get paid for 12....LOL. Plus I get paranoid calling off "just because", I'm likely to get sick the next week and not be able to call off.
Time to make lunch for me and Rach, talk to you all soon xoxoxo Michelle
!!
