Ok now that that task is outta the way!

I am slowly getting sick as the day progresses! I am going to beat this thing...I don't have time to get sick!!

I went to WI (not Wisconsin) tonight and was pleased with my loss....I am almost embarrassed to share it with you all....but....I am proud of my hard work at the same time so here goes.....well...I'm not bragging or anything and I don't need no hoopla...but I lost 10.2 lbs my first week! I am gonna catch up to Sara and Tina before the month is over...don't I wish! LOL I told you I can do this...I did it before and Sara and Tina are doing it and Lucky is doing it! SO come on the rest of you...get on the wagon with us and lets make this "2003 the year for me"!

Well I dug out my little george foreman grill tonight and grilled up some chicken breasts. I just sprinkled them with garlic salt and grilled each one for 4 minutes and they are perfect! I am going to take one to work tomorrow and make a sandwich out of it! Just like you would buy at the deli or restaurant only LOW FAT!

I am going to run for now but I will be back before I hit the Hay tonight. 2Cute hope your back is better after soaking!!

TTFN Michelle

Everyone...on your knees...

Cross your fingers and your toes

I have my interview tomorrow for the Information Security Administrator's job at 1:30 Central Standard Time

P R A Y

:

I have to say I have felt some "food" stress today....ever since I was called about going for my interview. I don't think I have much of a chance but the job description was so vague I thought what the heck!!!

I feel too nervous right now...will come back later.

Hey everybody! Just a quicky, checking in. I'm back to work and trying to cook occasionally so not much time. Besides, Mother Nature arrived today so that explains a whole lot of what was going on at the beginning of the week. Dang, it's nasty getting old!

I'm a 'showgirl' again this weekend so I won't be around much....again.

My cousin is taking me out to lunch tomorrow for my birthday. She wanted to know where I wanted to go. I eat out so much for my jobs that I really didn't care. For others I'm sure it's a treat. For me, eh, who cares. It's nice that she wanted to do something for me.

I don't have time for alot of replies, but I do have to say:

Lucky: Fingers and toes are crossed for your interview tomorrow. And ok, I'll pray a little too.

and

Michelle: Oh my Gosh, girl. 10.2 pounds! BRAVO, CONGRATS, YAHOO! Here's a happy dance for you. You go, girl!!!!

Gotta run. I hope to see you all soon.

Michelle: 10.2 pounds! BRAVO, CONGRATS, YAHOO! & YIPPEE Here's a happy dance for you. AND

So, Thin it's your birthday....January 10th huh? I wish you a happy day and a happy year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Love Ya

I'm just finishing up my graduate school applications so I have exactly 30 seconds to post!

Michelle:

Thin's B-day is on the 12th... the same day as my dad's so I'll always remember!

Kat:

Sara

First of all...........let me say, me and 2cute will never argue over Tony. As long as it's understood he is MINE! MINE! MINE!

Just wanted topop in and say congrtas to Michelle. 10.2 pounds wow! You go girl. You're on weight watchers, right? Any special exercises you're doing? Inquiring minds want to know.
Steph

How are you guys doing? I totally apologize for not coming back yesterday........after I finished all my tasks, I was absolutely exhausted and needed a rest!

Here is everything I did:

Did two loads of dishes
Swept and mopped the kitchen floor
Did 3 loads of laundry
Organized large kitchen cabinet
Organized all drawers in my bedroom dresser
Cleaned off the kitchen table
Dusted living room
Re-arranged knick knacks on intertainment center
Cleaned out box in bottom of hall closet & put everything up
Made bed in our bedroom
Vaccumed all living room furniture
Re-arranged my and dh's closet
Stood on chair & vaccumed fan blades & globes w/attachment
Cleaned Foreman grill & under toaster & crockpot
Cleaned off bar & wiped down all countertops and stove
Vaccumed living room floor (twice)
Vaccumed hallway and picked up clothes in floor
Cooked dinner

and STILL did my WATP 1 mile with weights!!! Am I on a roll or what?!

My eating has been really good and I have stared temptation in the eye several times this week and I have won!

By the way, I just have to respond to 2cute, (because you know I have it on the brain now) Why is Tony coming to your home town? If I put myself in a box now and ship myself to you, do you think I'll get there in time? We can go together!

Also I'd like to report, it's only:

38 days, 13 hours, 20 minutes and 15 seconds till Daytona!!

Ok, I'm sorry.......ya'll have got me all stirred up and I just had to share this picture. Everyone thinks that Tony is all rough and tough and a smarta$$. This is the real Tony Stewart.

So cute..............2cute, in fact.

Can you tell we like the man?!THIS is the room I sit and type in every night. Nice huh?

And please forgive me.....I did not mean to overlook you, I just got carried away. To Michelle:

You go girl!! I am sooo proud of you! 10.2 lbs. is awesome!

I would have been here much sooner.... but .... I got on my knees to pray for Lucky..... and I couldn't get up.

I rolled all over the house trying to find someone to help me up.
To top it off... my dog thought I was playing with him and kept grabbing my foot and trying to get my shoes and socks.
I would shake my foot at him and he would just get more excited and growl and tug even harder !!!!

Then... I rolled near his food dish... and he was afraid I would eat his food... so he ate until he made himself sick... all over me!!
I am pretty sure after the language I used ... God didn't want to hear anything else I had to say. But... I put in my 2 cents worth just in case.

They say you better be specific when you pray.... otherwise... you might be surprised how God answers those prayers.
Last week I prayed for the willingness to exercise and God needed a good laugh... so you can see how he answered that prayer.

On a more serious note... Lucky... I have soooo many fingers, toes, legs, eyes, anything that crosses, crossed for you.
I have even said a serious prayer too.
GOOD LUCK LUCKY !!!!

Continued below.....

I just had too many smilies for one post.

Tina.... You are a riot !!!!
I don't think you can make it here in time to stop TONY and ME !!!!!
He is arriving TODAY !!!
They are having some kind of race weekend here. Some kind of smaller weird looking cars. They run on a dirt track. I am sure he is just here as a promotion thing.
After "we" share a Big N Tasty I will ask him for more details.
Oh yes... Tony is yours.... as soon as I get done with him. LOL

Michelle... WOW !!!!!! 10.2 lbs !!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!
