Good Morning All!

RR, Cute pic! She's got this look like, MY kitty!! Is that a new kitten?? Congrats on the 1/2 lb.!

I've gotta go back and read last week's thread...

PJ, congrats on the loss, I sure hope it's for real! But don't get discouraged if a couple lbs. creep back on...why were you not eating as much? Sick? Or did you mean that in a good way?

RR, Thanks for the HD tip...I told DH about it! I can't tell you how many times I wish we had a snake. Thankfully Peter's not really facinated with the toilet...except to flush it.

Tiff, Congrats on the interview!! What kind of job is it for? I soo hear ya' on the potty training issue...Peter went a couple times on his little potty...poop & pee. And a couple times at daycare, but now wants nothing to do with it!! Soo frustrating! I told DH that if he doesn't start going by Labor Day weekend, the diapers are going to "not fit" anymore! I probably have about 15 pairs of undies that my mom has bought, plus the 3 pairs of cotton trainers that I bought.
Good for you resisting the icecream, and the urge to binge. I have binged a couple times over the years, but I felt like crap afterwards.

Jawsmom, on the "angel wings"...I can soo relate! That's a great goal! I sure hope you make it, you're doing awesome!

Have a great day all!!

Hello Everyone,

I finally got off my duff and downloaded pics/updated Alex's page. Here are some Six Flags pics:







And one more just 'cause it's so cute:

Cool pics, Karen! Alex is getting soo grown up looking!

LBH, I wish my little one would just go once on the potty. She likes to sit on the potty, put things in the potty, read on the potty..just not GO in the potty! Infact, today she put a snail in the potty and told her 18 yr old brother "It a swimmin in da potty" He had to fish the little sucker out then tossed it back outside.

My interview is at MHMR as a services aid. It's a low paying job, but low pay is better than no pay right! I figure atleast it's a interview so I can get the feel of it again.

I will weigh tomorrow, I'm not sure if I have lost any weight or not. As long as I don't gain it will be ok. Have a great week all!!

Tiffany

All day yesterday - I kept checking the the "week of 24th" thread thinking where is everyone? Surely someone else is online on Sunday?

Then this morning it occured to me that DUH - new week, new thread.

Tiffy - good luck on the interview - back on the horse that sort of thing

Karen - Alex is so cute! Love the Vader T-shirt - huge fan

LBH - the not eating as much is from the hot weather - nothing sounds good except fruit and salad (clue). And though I normally try to eat 4 X a day - I havent been eating more than 3 x because it is hot and I just dont feel like it. Yesterday was more normal. But I am really getting good at portion control on the calorie food and then I pig out on the non calories like brocolli, or brussel sprouts - so I am full and not overloaded.

RR - What a sweet picture - definately "my kitty". So my acronyms are a bit rusty = what is AF?

To everyone else - hope you have a wonderful day! Catch you all here later!

Happy Monday ... Hope that everyone had a great weekend ....

RR - Your daughter is too cute !!

Karen - The pictures of Alex are so cute ... he looks like he had a blast at 6 -flags !

Tiffy- Good Luck with your interview !!

Hi All,

PJ, AF= Aunt Flo...time of month (TOM), period, hag...

Speaking of which, I have the feeling the hag is making her way back to me. Time to get PG again! JUST KIDDING!!! She came back at 7 months PP with Peter and I was still BF'ing. Robby stopped nursing a month ago and I've had a couple "spots", but that's it. I've been crampy on and off for about a month though too. I don't normally have cramps, but I think I remember having them the first couple months back after Peter.

Tiff, Peter used to sit on the potty all the time, but now he won't even consider it! I sure hope my Labor Day idea works. I think I read somewhere that it usually only takes a couple days of wet pants to get the idea.

Good morning, ladies! Just thought I'd check in as I start on my trek to losing 40 pounds by 1 year from today! Yes, today is my 39th birthday and I'm gonna be thinner and healthier by this time next year!

I started the Walk Diet "officially" today. I've been back to using the WATP tapes since July 5, but since the Walk Diet starts on a Monday (the one from her book) and it's a new month AND it's my birthday......no excuses! I did the 2 mile Express tape with the stretchie (even though she says 1 mile today). I'm also returning to Curves today after almost 2 months away. They sent me a b-day card, which made me feel guilty! Whatever works!

Well, off to do a few chores before I go!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Michele

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELE!!!! What a great way to start your day!

Good Morning !!

Well I survived my trip with the relatives and am very happy to be home. I really love my hubby and in-laws; however, by the end of the day yesterday I was going a bit Driving around in a busy state (we were in Seattle) and getting directions for all 3 of them.. ahhh family ya gotta love them !!

We did lots of shopping.. lots of walking.. and took in 2 ball games. Eating was so so and I tried to eat salads when I could to balance out the evils

I haven't had a chance to read all the posts I missed, but will try to get to them in the next few days so that I can catch up with everyone.

Hope you all had a good weekend and I will TTYS

Happy Birthday Michele !!!
