Good Morning Gang

Wow Leenie - how far is town from your house? have fun!

SueMarie - I saw your question in yesterday's thread. Sorry, but I don't know anything about those type of scales. Maybe somebody else will know something about them.

I'm cleaning house today. That will have to be my exercise for today.

will check back later.

hugs,
cathy

Great! Now I can come here!

Well, Roger and I made a big decision this week. We're not building a new home...we're remodeling this one. We had so many qualms about building and now it's settled. Monday, a company is coming out and giving us an estimate on replaceing our 24 windows! (I told you it was a big house!) I have to contact DD's girlfriend to see if I can hire her to strip woodwork ad I have to see if I can find our neighbor to see if he wants to do any remodeling. He is the one that has the cute tush. I discovered that when he helped put on our roof! We want to put in a bathroom by the master bedroom by removing a stairway...we have two. I want a bathroom upstairs. (DD told me to just stick my rear out the window but, with my luck, our bachelor neighbor would be going by and have a heart attack. He is 51, never married, lives with his mama!)

Today, I have laundry and some cleaning. Tomorrow is church, of course and Roger has an Elder meeting after regarding the Head Usher position. The bachelor neighbor wants to quit and I guess we have to pat his butt and make nice-nice and he'll change his mind. . After that we'll go to the city to shop.

I would wear it April.Hope you have fun.

April - I remember the dress and the picture! I think the dress would be perfect! have fun!

Tippy - boy you do have a big house! 24 windows! that's a lot of windows.

"make nice-nice" - you are such a hoot girlie!

were you having trouble getting into 3fatchicks? computer problems?

hugs,
cathy

Man I woke up at 7 this morning and it was downpouring outside.We are supposed to get storms and rain all this weekend.What Fun huh?Dh is out doing some work for an elder lady right now.He is such a great husband.He is feling alittle down about himself though.The work he is doing; is work he hasn't done in 20 years and with him being 417 lbs; its hard on him.He is building an addition on a house and its alot of grunt work.I told him all he needs to do is build his muscle back up again and he will get use to it again. I try to help him stay positive about things.

My day is going to be pretty slow today.Since I have done most of my cleaning and stuff during the week.

Did I tell I am thinking of having baratric surgery done?

*hugs*
lynnie

Hi everyone.......just a quick hello.....will post more later....was in BC for 5 days and it was a great trip......glad to see everyone is still kicking here!

Will talk soon!

Eliz

Actually, Roger just corrected me! We have 28 windows!

Cathy, check your PMs.

We're glad your here Tippy and have fun w/the Remodeling just make sure when you remodel my room it has a place for a coffee bar

Hey LIZZY!!!! good to see your back and had a good time....hurry back and give us the details

APRIL !! YES YES YES wear that dress, it was beautiful and will go well to just about any occasion. Would be a shame just to keep it in the closet. And remember what I said back then, you look BEAUTIFUL in it !!

Lynnie, tell DH just to go slow, he's not used to it and its gonna be hard. Thats normal for anyone whos not used to doing something outside the norm. How's he doing w/his eating ? is he still dieting w/you ? boy he should come here and play with us we'll try to help. How about the Mens forum, its starting to pick up and I bet Jack can help him out. Jack lost 170 lbs, he can certainly relate in a man's way. Aww hugs to him and you.

Cathy, town in about 1 mile but when we get into it, we swing around the parks and go the long way home making it about a 3 mile walk. The killer was pushing her/the stroller and the water bottles up the hills, thought I was gonna drop a lung LOL. But I made it. Then I cam home made an LC cheesecake for a treat tonight. Hey did I tell you I ordered cherry, strawberry and bananna davinci syrups I'm waiting for them to arrive in a few days....Imagine cheesecake drizzeled w/ those syrups YUM.... come on over for come coffee all you gals, I'd love to have you over, but I'm afraid i wouldn't be serving LC food LOL As much as I hate to admit it....after a nice walk like that, I came back did cleaning, laundry and I had lots of energy. Sucks ya gotta kill yourself to get energy

DD is in the back yard w/hubby and I have a whole whoppin 15 minutes....so I'll be back tonight.

Love you !!!! Leenie

SueMarie, where are you babycakes ??? making roux ?

g'day

Leenie thanks for the anniversary wishes.... I did catch them, just haven't had time to be online for long the past few days. You keep everyone so positive with your uplifting messages.

Cathy *hugs

April your dress sounds VERY nice!! wear it and enjoy!

Tippy nice to see you back! I wish I could talk my husband into renovations. He's good at it, but so tired all the time. He's a heavy duty mechanic, and does a lot of jobs on the side in addition to his full time job... he just isn't interested. Heaven knows, our yard, garage, and parts of the house could use it.

Lynnie tell your hub not to overdo it!! Tell him to just take his time!

Liz welcome back!

I decided to order Fitday for my computer. I bought it today and downloaded it. It's quite different than the free one online, and has a lot more features. I've gotten really good at entering things daily, and it's been a help. Was a treat to myself for being so "good" at my food program and exercising.

I am down one of the two pounds I regained. Sure hope it keeps going now.

Hello Ladies...

Leenie - Babycakes Present MAMM! Energy? Where? It seems like its' getting harder and harder to get up in the morning. James says, just gotta give your body time to get used to the idea of exercising... I hope it's soon, I usually have no problem getting up at 7:30-8:00 and now I'm dragging just to get up at 9 eeek! I looked at that website about the Roux that you and cathy mentioned... hehehe I haven't tried yet, but I'm definately thinking about trying it if I could get the recipe... *wink wink* cathy *smile*

Cathyxxx - How are you liking that Kathy Smith DVD? I have yet to go back to the 2nd dvd My knees aren't so good and those killer squats are really killers hehehe. Do you find yourself having a hard time getting up in the mornings? I think I need to go talk to GNC and see what other supplements I can take while doing this weight lifting stuff... woohoo

April - Glad to see you are eating better. I really like Diet Power. Fitday was great too, it's just nice to have it on the harddrive in case the net goes down, not to mention it's got nice little bells and whistles too. About the fashion question... I don't think I'll be of any help... but being a starving college student (tho I don't look like it ) I would wear the dress again. Altho the last wedding I went to I wore dress pants and a nice shirt hehee... I can't remember the last time I wore a dress... hmm 6 yeaars ago maybe? the main point is to have a great night and be sure to smile!

Lynnie - what's baratic surgery? Definately good advice to DH about going slow. Building a room addition, wow, now yer giving me ideas about my house poor James!

Hey Lynnie - are you talking about the gastric bypass surgery? or some other surgery? I think I messed seeing this before. If it is the gastric bypass surgery, did you know that there is a thread for those that have had and are thinking about having weight loss surgery. You might want to check it out if you haven't already.

Hey Liz - so glad you are back!

Hey Leenie - isn't that cool how you feel more energized after some exercise. hey, your cheesecake sounds yummy, and even yummier with the sf syrups. yum! strawberry is my favorite. I got in a new batch this week and got pineapple for the first time. Can't wait to try it on something.

Hey Judomom - hugs right back at ya girlie! I'm so glad you treated yourself and got the fitday. So do you keep up with your calories each day? I've had 3 people tell me lately that they would never be so strict as to count their calories, but I just find it is something I have to do. I've gotten use to it. So glad you lost one of those pounds that snuck up. Hope that other one takes a flying leap too!

Hey SueMarie - I'm sticking with the first Kathy Smith tape. (even tho I haven't done it this week). But the 2nd one definitely looks harder and the first one is hard enough. My knees bother me too so I have to be careful with the squats. Did I ever tell you that I HATE SQUATS! No I don't have any trouble getting out of bed in the mornings, as long as I get to bed at the right time. Before I started taking my thryoid meds I was draggin and tired al the time, but I'm feeling better, and the better I feel, the more I exercise, and the more I exercise the more energy I have. And I do take a multivitamin every nite also - don't know if that helps or not. Girl I just remembered - I'm almost 45. *yikes*

Ok the gumbo recipe. let me post this message and I'll type it out.

hus,
cathy
