Monday here. Very anxious for weigh in tonight. Was good all weekend dispite my urge to eat everything in sight. Not sure why all of a sudden I am so hungry all the time but it is very stinky. Busy week for me as Sat. I am out for vacation to sunny florida!!

Hello, ladies! Not much time to post here, I'm on my way out the door in a few minutes. It's going to be a busy week for me, trying to get a lot of loose ends tied up before starting on crazy overtime nights. I'll be working a 12-hour shift on Saturday night (6p-6a) and then M-F of next week, 10-hour nights. I'm SO ready for this stupid outage to be over (and it hasn't even started yet!).

I went to the grocery store the other night and picked up a few things, since I know I'll just snack all night rather than eat real meals. I'm going to use the suggestions that I got from my Favorite Snacks threads that I posted all over and try to make it to the grocery store again before starting on Saturday.

I got on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. I haven't been tracking my points and wasn't expecting a loss, but I had a little bit of one, yay! I've been drinking a cup or two of green tea every day, I know they say that aids with weight loss, so maybe it had something to do with that.

Busy night tonight. I need to clean my car out, spend some time with the dog, iron work clothes, and do some other running around, too. There's just so much to do before starting on nights and I know I'm not going to have the time to get it done. And once I start nights, I'm pretty much worthless.

Kierie, the cooking machine--let us know how your first day of your new job goes!!

Anna--That's enough rubbing it in that you're going to FL! I'm SO jealous!!! Soak up some sun for me, OK?

Okie dokie, girls. I'm going to hit the road, hope you all have a great night! (And I want to see some more posting tomorrow, ladies!!!)

Hi ladies!

Well I think taking a step back and not counting my points was a good idea. I'm not really having any "emotional eating" binges, although there was plenty of room this weekend. DH and I had a HUGE fight with our neighbors. I am SO happy we are buying a house and don't have to live next to those ppl anymore. I just hope our weekends are full of peace and quiet until then and not bass booming "BOOM... BA BOOM BOOM" all weekend anymore. They refuse to turn the music down. The management talked to them and they still refuse. My husband doesn't want to force them out since we know we will be leaving soon anyway. Hopefully they got the hint though and they will keep it down until we get out of here. ARGH! Now I'm pissed off again just thinking about it.

Anyways, I had today off for the holiday. Going to look at a house tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!

Hi everyone! i am back here-haven't been around in awhile b/c I was being lazy, and alos hoping to get PG< but we've been trying for four months now and I've decided to try a weight loss plan-so i went back to my old friend, WW...now if i could just get some exercise in...I WI on Thurs night-need some willpower for the late night eating-i didn't used to do that, but for some reason I've been bad about that lately. Diet coke, diet coke! my ST goal is to lose ten pounds by the end of March when i go to florida...

Back from weigh in, only 2 pounds this week. A bit sad, I was used to 4 lbs for my first 2 weeks of WW. Anyways, any loss is good and 4lbs a week is a bit unreasonable, but wishable.

Kier, Florida is going to be fun, however, I am traveling with my 4 year old son and my 88 year old grandma. That is not going to be fun!!! After we get there and I have a large drink, I will have fun, I hope!!!

I bought an Ipod today to use on vacation for walking. I am hoping to walk a couple of miles everyday to make up for eating a lot more. Hope it works. My goal is to stay even, no gains, no loss. Will have to wait and see.

Off to bed with me, I am starving so better to sleep than eat!

hey i'm at the job (we're allowed to use internet at lunch) just wanted to say a quick Hi
Aflynn 2 words dahling MANGO DAQUIRI!
Lori YAY! welcome back From what i hear when you stop trying is when it happens
Jess I think I'll be perusing your snack threads too I was starving until lunch
OH! I made Core Cornbread to die for its nice and crumbly so it would be good for soup or Turkey chili
Lori Hi Lady! I'm sending you a big pair of earplugs so you wont have to deal with those Buttfaces
Alright back to the grind I don't want to be caught on here!

Hi guys! Well, it's my first 29th birthday today. I intend to stay 29 for a few more years. I am in the field today though, so no celebrations.

Kierie - knock em dead today girl! Iam thinking of you on your first day in the office in your hot new clothes

Jess - green tea, eh? I love green tea - I'll give it a try post-pg.

Anna - 2 lbs is great! You can't expect to lose morethan that on a reg basis, it isn't healthy. You go girl.

Lori - yuck, being noisy-neighbour free will be awesome. I am glad your break frompoints is helping.

Lori D - hey girl! Didn't know you were trying to get pg again. I'll send you pg vibes. It's good to see you back!

All this talk of meetings makes me wish I could go to them. I asked DH if we can afford meetings while I am on mat and he said of course, whatever I need. So I think I'll go to the ones that are baby friendly with baby in July...

OK I have to go and do some work here, and catch my plane....have a good one girls.

I realize that sounds like DH makes the $$ decisions. that isn't what I meant. I asked him b/c he has made an extensive mat leave budget for when I am off (9months) and when he is off(3months). Just to clarify....

Belle! BIRFDAY GIRL. . . I was thinking of you today with your special Birfdayness! I'm pooped! and I'm going to make Dh clean the kitchen tonight
$ decisions are always made together but just like you can't just decide to commit to WW without asking him he can't commit $ without asking you
I gotcha newlywed stuff!
I will post more when i'm concious

Happy Birthday Belle!

I am suppose to be running right now, but am sick Oh well, hopefully I'll be better tomorrow.

Cheers!

Ali

Good morning gals,

So we went to go look at two houses yeterday. One was big, but needed lots of work. It had 4 bedrooms, but the 3 original to the house were TINY! The other house was pretty good. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath (which needs updating). But no basement! Its a crawlspace and its dirt. There is one other house I want to take a look at this weekend and we are going back to the no-basement house. My dad is coming with us so we can get an opinion from a more experienced home owner.

I weighed myself this morning thinking that I had gained weight, but I am at 204.4 (up .6) so the no-points thing hasn't been too bad I guess for that. I haven't really been exercising that much and I need to get back on that but I've been having health problems that are keeping me from doing so.

LoriD - Welcome back!

Belle - Happy Birthday! I understand about the $$ money. DH has to ask me about everything because I do all the finances. I try to keep him informed as much as possible.

Anna - 2 pounds is great! You should be proud

Jess - How often do you switch from days to nights? I don't know if I could do that.... it would make me crazy!

Ali - I hope you feel better

So last night DH reminded me we have tickets to see a show tonight in Boston. Social Distortion is playing. I TOTALLY forgot and I have homework due tomorrow night for school and Friday. I feel so overwhelmed now! I am hoping I can take some time off of work today to get some of it done =(
