Good morning all!

The coffee is on! It's 4:30 here. I'm getting ready for work, but I just had to stop and post. I did my weekly weigh-in. The stall is over!!! I lost 5 pounds this week.

I'm finding my biggest challenge after going back to work is getting my water in. I have first period planning and then classes until lunch. I get into working with the kids and forget to drink the water that is always sitting on my desk.

Anyway, gotta go, just wanted to share my good news. Have a great day!

Karla

Great loss Tipurr!!! Congrats!

Good morning to all!

Karla WTG! Finally a body that knows what to do. Is your body possibly open to doing training seminars? In Manitoba perhaps? Anyway, glad to hear it finally let go.

Oh Brad, my kingdom for a male metabolism, bars and shakes and still losing, you're a machine! I'll just sit over here and enjoy my eggs and tuna.

Busy crazy day yesterday, today is shaping up to be an office day, calm and I can get lost in that pile of paper work again! Think I may even turn my phone off so there's no interruptions.

Well Taebo is calling my name, five minutes till sweating time.

Good day to everyone.

Great, Tippur. There is nothing more motivating than seeing that scale number go down!

Good morning, Scooby. Be careful when you go to the ladies today. I'm still chuckling.

Tummy, taebo? Keep it up and you will get Brad's male metabolism.

I've decided to start every day with something that's fun. This morning I played wrestling on the deck with my two dogs. They beat me! My husband thinks I am insane but it's wonderful to start the day with a good laugh. I wonder if dog wrestling counts as exercise.

Have a super Terrific Tuesday.

Ruth, ty for that mental picture, I got a good laugh out of it too

Good Morning everyone

Dd and I had a blast at the amusement park yesterday. We didnt get home until 8pm. She had a mini meltdown when we got home, she was so tired. But when I asked her this morning if she had a good time, she told me shouldnt wait to go back. My arms are very sore today from hanging on for dear life to some of those rides!!!!

Peach, I never used to be able to get on the rides with my daughter. I could never fit in one of those little spinning teacups before. It was so wonderful to be able to get in with her, and spin her as fast as she wanted. I'll keep at it, because I dont ever want to sit on the sidelines again. Your kind words in a past post had touched my heart, and yesterday of all days I remembered them very clearly. So you can bet I only had a few bites of dd cotton candy and not my own bag!

Well, its only 3 days away from having to see the ex again and meeting the skinny blond gf with the big nose. Im doing pretty good. My eating isnt wayyyy out of control, its actually pretty good. However, I have been scratching like mad. Go figure....stress works it way on me one way or another. I think its time to hit the shower and load up on the cream!!

I hope everyone has a great day!!

Good morning all!! Well, I haven't been posting, but I've been reading. All of you ladies, and rooster, are very inspiring. I am having a hard time staying inspired. The scale didn't move at all last week. I did have one slip on Sunday. My DS and I made oatmeal raisin cookies and I had one without raisins and one with. Right back OP though. I did get up early this morning and try out the Leslie Sansone walking tape. Not bad at all. I just did the 1 mile this morning. Not to bad. I'll try again tomorrow. I was also thinking about trying to take the first 3 flights of stairs here at work. There are 7 total and I know I'm not up for that yet!!

Good for you Karla!! What a motivator! Robin, what a great inspiration on the amusement park. I can't wait until I don't worry about fitting in the roller coaster rides. I think I stress more about that than the actual scare of the ride while waiting in line. Someday...

Tummy, I am with on the male metabolism. My DH has lost weight since I've been OP and he's not even trying!!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Good morning everyone!

Man I am so sore today! THat upper body regimine yesterday even with lighter weights than normal made me a bit sore! But I am living with it! I am going on the treadmill later today to work out some of the kinks!

Karla - WTG!!! I wish I could have a week like that!! But I am working on it!

Today the kids and I are cleaning out their closets and getting ready for school. It starts next week. They go to catholic school, so uniforms need to be hemmed up and pressed! My dd also has out grown most of her jeans so I guess I am going to have to go shopping...

Oh lordy, Karla. I'd kill to lose 5 lb in a week again. Good for you.
Brad, it's no fair that you can lose while eating the goodies. I've been into some Atkins bars and I'm pretty sure they're causing my stall, even though I'm within my carb range.
Cool and overcast here on the Wet Coast today and hoping for rain.

Congrats to you Karla! Turtle, don't give up. I have been losing SLOWWWWWWWWWLY, but it is better than a gain! Just don't give up!!
I had a long long day at work, another foot throbbing night, so I will be hitting the sack soon. I walked this morning, and need to get back on the treadmill in the morning, so better get all the sleep I can.
