Ugh I was really supposed to go to the gym last night and didn't. Now I HAVE TO GO tonight, no excuses, and stay a litlte longer which means I will miss part of the Bruins game tonight because I also have to clean the apartment before tomorrow (we are having guests ). !!!!

Plus I really really really don't want to be at work today. I'm thinking of taking tomorrow off.

Yesterday was a weird eating day for me. I had a lot to eat for lunch, and made a good choice for dinner, but then had a snack and hit my max. I don't like hitting my max unless I exercise. My points are 20-25 but I really think I should start lowering then to 18-23. I found once before that when I am close to having to lower my range and I do it a little earlier than it says I should that it helps. Any thoughts on this? I'm only 5 pounds away from having to lower them.

I can tell already today is just gonna be a bad day here today (at work I mean). I hate days like this!!!!

Hey all. I go in for my ultra sound today. We are not finding out the sex, and it is too early anyway. We are just checking dates and making sure everything is OK.

KO... My MIL told me and hubby before the wedding (well this was more to hubby, but of course I heard)... QUOTE... I am losing my little boy...UNQUOTE!!! Thus why I was given so much grief and she made me cry at my rehearsal dinner. We have an on again off again relationship. When we first started dating, I was told I was the best thing that happened to her son.... then all of a sudden we are getting married and I am the devil!!! Oh and she is on many drugs, painkillers, depression, etc... so when those are off, so is she!

So hang in there..... you aren't with her, you are with her son!

OK, have to go potty so I can chug my water for my u/s. Have to drink 32 ounces in an hour and not potty until after the u/s. It is killer!

Hi girls - well it was WI this morning and I am down 2#. I was happy about that even though I blew it on Sunday. But that's OK its a new week and I feel much better about that.

Lori - I didnt' go either yesterday, so I am right along with you today. I don't want to over-do it though since I am just getting over a flu but I'll go nonetheless.

Jen - tell us all about your U/S and enjoy it!! yay, that is so exciting!

Well, not much here going on - I just vegged last night adn watched Buffy. I was in bed at 9pm.....yup, exciting life I lead!!

Must get back to work bbl!

Morning, ladies!

Well, I made it to the gym yesterday over lunch break (yay me!), but got a fat craving mid-day and had some trail mix stuff that was sunflower seeds, peanuts, M&M's, and raisins. It hit the spot, but I don't even want to begin to think about the points in that. When I got home later, I was starving, but thought I might have dinner plans, so I had a FF tortilla with a little chicken and FF cheese w/ salsa for a snack. I did end up having dinner with workboy, not sure how bad that was. It was a turkey breast fillet (3 points), a TON of homemade mashed potatoes with a little regular sour cream on them, then I had a little bit of his steak. Wasn't the worst day ever, but still not as good as I'd like to be. I think I just need to go grocery shopping. All of the suggestions yesterday really helped me think of some things for snacks, thanks for those!!

I don't have much to say, so this is short and boring.

Lori--Get to the gym! (That's an order). As far as lowering your points, that's up to you. Maybe try to do 18-23, but still give yourself the option of having 20-25, maybe. Just my thoughts...

Jen--Yikes, all that drinking sounds icky. I had to have a colonoscpoy done a year or so ago and was supposed to drink an entire gallon of electrolyte solution (translated: laxative). I was supposed to do 8 oz every 15 minutes. I barfed and couldn't finish it. Oh, that was terrible.

Belle--Way to go at WI!! You get a dancing monkey!!

OK, I gotta work now...

hey girls its a quickie b/c i'm heading home
Belle congrats on the 2 Burn baby burn
Jess that trailmix sounds good so does workboy
Jen! will u get a pic of the baby fro the u/s? i think keepign the sex a suprise is great
and if you have any knitting tips I'm such a novice I would kiss you !
Lori Go to the gym!
Speakign of gym I have pt today and i'm getting my upper cycle woooooooo

morning Ladies!

I babysat my nieces last night with my mom (had a nice visit) but my one niece has conjunctivitis and I feel like my eye is gross today. I really hope I don't get it cause I'm going to my first hockey game tomorrow night - Canucks vs Chicago Blackhawks I hope it's fun.
Lori - A lot of the ladies in my WW varied their points - highest one day, lowest the next - they found they lost more when they didn't consistantly eat the same number of points.
Jen - let us know how the U/S went!
Belle - Way to Go! I'm inspired again.
Jess - sounds like a yummy snack - I have to go shopping with all these ideas coming at me.

Oh and a little yay me, I found out yesterday that for a $10 deposit (I get it back when I return my ID tag) I have unlimited access to the fitness facilities at the university. Basically, free gym membership. I'm going to figure out a way to get there on my lunch and maybe one or two days a week after work. I'm excited.
OK - back to work - I'll check in later.

Hey gals,

I'm off to work shortly. Just thought I'd pop in quick. I had a great day yesterday & today is good so far Now I just need to find some exercise time & I will be on top of things....

Belle, WTG with your 2! Keepit up

Jen, have fun at the ultsnd. Today they are probably going to induce my Dad's wife so I might have a new sibling when I get off of work Exciting

Kier, Have fun with your new equipment!

KT, hope your eye is ok! That's awesome about your gym access. Gotta love perks

Lori, I am 1lb away from lower points range so I think I'm going to do what you mentioned. Good thinking


Jess, how are you doing honey? Are you recovering well?


Ok here's a silly question. My Mom has always claimed that one time she was told by a doctor that a person sleeps better if they have their head to the north pole & their feet to the south (when you live in the Northern hemisphere I'm guessing). So I always try to make my bed that way. What I want to know is if that's true or not. The way our room is shaped it would be so much better if I turned our bed east & west. Has anyone else heard this or is it an old wives tale? I'm hoping to find some time to check it on the net somewhere but no time today. I have enough trouble with sleep as it is so if it is true & don't want to chance making my sleep worse. Anyway any input would be appreciated

Have a great day

Rina, that is a Fung Shui thing with the head facing north. Maybe with will help with your inner peace....

OK, u/s went well. I had to use the bathroom so bad. I had a very nice woman doing (with Emma I had a nasty guy and he wasn't very nice). I got 2 pics, but you can't see much since the peanut is so small yet. She said everything looked good, but they still have to do the analysis. My date is estimated at May 5 according to her measurements, so it is up to my doctor to decide if she will change it.

I am crabby now tho. Hubby was kind of crabby with me, then we went to Subway for lunch and the sandwich chicks were snippy, and work is sucky today (I am a worry wort).... so now my mood is majorly foul!

Oh well... such is life!

Hey girls. is it just me or was i not just PMSing? because i am again. UGH. i think we should all go home. and just play all day and email each other. no work

I can't stop laughing - I just flushed my picture ID card keys down the toilet! I am not kidding. I did up my pants and flushed and I noticed my barrette was sticking out of my pocket so I shoved it back in and ended up flicking out my card key, mid-flush, into the toilet - I couldn't even have plucked it out, it was gone in a flash! I am hysterical laughing. Oh God, I hope it doesn't back up b/c then my face and my name will come up with the sewage!! AGH!!

Its halarious!!

Yowzers Belle.... Can you get a new one? How do you explain that??? I think it will be more funny when you try to tell someone you need a new one because you flushed yours down the toilet!

Belle - so funny. Just the thought of telling the supervisor where it went, mine would probably just shake her head and walk away.
Rina - I think your mom's doc was a quack. I personally sleep better with a window above my bed (regardless of North or south) - I think that's pretty individual thing. If it works, go for it.
Jen - cheer up - you saw the peanut!!!
PJ - You've had enough time off to PMS again.

Wow, I'm not getting anything done today - of course, there isn't anything to do so that makes it a bit better. One of the student staff who works one day a week on the other side of the office is in today and she likes to yell very loud when she talks on the phone and I can hear everything she says and she has a very annoying voice. I can only hope she graduates soon and doesn't come back to the position - MEOW!
