Hi All,

Well, did I go overboard this week, or at least the end of this week!! Had my hair permed yesterday, so I went to Wendy's for lunch and got a cheddar lovers bacon cheeseburger and fries!! This was with the thinking that I would try and eat light at dinner. Well, DH decided he was really in the mood for a nice juicy burger from Fuddy's, so dumbass me agrees to it!! So now I'm like, I don't wanna see a hamburger for a long time!! And on top of that, DH made choc. chip icecream, so I had to try that!! UGH!!

Today is the big family birthday party at my mom's house, but I am going to try and be good. It's just a BBQ, but I think she said she's marinating some chicken, so I will stick to that! I'm supposed to bring some homemade bread, but I forgot to go shopping, so it's not made yet, and it takes 4 hrs., so it's not gonna get done! We're supposed to be there at around 12:30, and it's 9:30 now!!

RR- Wow, that room sounds really nice! Zeus would love it!! Please let me know how your brother likes the Sante Fe, if he has any problems with it!! Is your brother a big guy, or littler like you? Jim sat in the driver's seat and didn't like it, because there wasn't enough leg room. He still thinks we should have matching XTerra's!!

Gotta run, have a great day all!!

Hello everyone.

I did not get to weigh in on Thursday unfortunately. I went to an out of town place since I was going out of town and to make a long story short, they have changed their times. Thought about going someplace else in the afternoon - but had really spent enough time on it. I didn't do as bad as normal being out of town this weekend, but (and I know I sound like a broken record), I didn't do very well.

Lauren - congrats on your loss! Good luck at the party.

Pryia - hooray for not eating at the festival and for being so diligent about your points!! You're doing marvelous. Bummer about the cigarettes - didn't know you had picked that habit back up. You can break it again!

BFB - another cyber kick for you! Please send it right back!

Legal - enjoy your walk training!

Tech - sorry about the dog.

RR - hope you all enjoyed the mudrace!

I'm at 462 miles now. Have a great week all.

Hello DIVAS!!!!!

We have not used that in
awhile. Good day here. Spent it mostly
outside. I did not count points for the
weekend. But not really worried about it
either. I am thinking of switching meetings.
Only because the girl I go with is such a
bummer. I would change my day to Sat. am.
But we will see if she does not go this
week. Then I am changing places.

Did my nails and toes tonight.
Now I have to figure out what to wear to
work. It is suppose to be so darn hot again
tomorrow. I will have to turn on my air. I
really hate too. I don't want a massive
bill.

Dani- I know your b-day is
coming and I can not remember what day!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN ADVANCE.


I AM SO MAD....THE DUMBA** PHOTOGRAPHER LOST 1/2 MY KIDS PICTURES.

Happy Monday Everyone,

Just wanted to pop in real quick and say hi. I did ok this weekend, not great just ok. But I am excited that we made our weekly menu and went shopping . This has worked will for us in the past, but with things so hectic we hadn't done it for the last couple of months. Hopefully it'll help me get back on track.

The dog is doing fine, I still haven't figured out how I'm supposed to stop him from running and jumping short of feeding him tranqs , but so far he hasn't pulled out the staples.

Hope everyone else is doing great .

LBH - I've had days like that myself. Good luck jumping right back on track. You've been doing great these last couple of months you'll make it.

BFB - Let's go. We can do this. Just close our eyes and jump back on that wagon. Are you still skating? That should earn you some brownie points (or crisp points as the case may be).

Pyria - I'm lucky we have a center 1/2 way between home and work and there are meetings every night, so we kept switching until we found one we liked . She's a riot, half the time we don't even get to the lesson she's prepared. Hope you find one as motivating.

Rabbit - Welcome back both to town and onto the wagon with the rest of us.

RR - How was the mud run? as good and goey as you hoped?

Well, I think I'm going to skip out of work early and go look for a unity candle and programs, there's a store just down the road that sent me a flyer. There is way too much s**t involved in a full blown classic wedding. I wish we'd just eloped .

Talk at you all later.

- Tech

Hello Diva girls!!!!!

BFB-I get homesick for Europe everytime U post!!!Can't wait to go back!!!!!U have the 6 hour advantage on that Sunday morning!!!!(but U R on for the race!!!!!! )Glad U R back on track!!!

Tech-Glad the dog is better!!I do remember those running around days looking for this and that!!!! I can't believe it has been 2 months for me since I got married..

The mud run was very gooey and nasty...My little SD and her friend had trouble the first mile(i waited on them for 10 minutes to catch up) and then the swamp began..They were black and nasty with that thick mud...I made them swim in the lake before I could get them near the new car!!Refman didnt come cuz he was tiling the cat room floor!!! (he is such a clean freak he would have had a heart attack!!!!!!)

Lauren-that little Santa Fe drives wonderful..They got a leather one loaded with all options..The car seat fits perfectly and so does the stroller, bag and all the little fixings for the baby!!!!I would have bought one if I coulld have gotten the third row of seats!!!!

I just got back from the health club and ate a healthy snack..The brownies are calling so I am surfing the web!!!!
Have a great evening!!!
RR

Just wanted to pop in real quick and say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN

Tried out a new recipe yesterday for sea bass. It was really good, I meant to bring it in to post, but my brain was still asleep when I left home this morning. Also the wedding invites came yesterday, so now comes the joy of tying (what was I thinking to convince K the overlay was worth the $), folding, addressing and stuffing, ought to be a blast .

Have a great day everyone.

- Tech

HI all.

I've done well the last couple of days. Hope weigh in goes ok this week.

BFB - Loved the advice! Made me chuckle.

tech - great idea to do the weekly menu and shopping trip. I do that also. You are so lucky to have a motivating leader.

RR - glad you all enjoyed the race!

Lauren - yeah for handling the party! That hill thing sounds interesting - let us know how it works. Good idea on when I go out of town - now if I can just remember it! I always have such good intentions. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

have a great day all - must run errands!

Rabbit

Good Afternoon all!!Well, just got back from the health club and I feel wonderful..I am trying to quit caffeine and really been having the headaches.(I have never been off caffeine)I am off the BC pills and taking prenatal vits to prepare myself and I swear my body feels better than when I was on them...Maybe it is a mental thing..The only thing is that I constantly wonder if I am pregnant!!Is that normal?????

Lauren-I have never even heard of that thingee to go on the bike..That sounds neat!!!I would love hills!!!!

Take care all!!!EXCERCISE!!!!!!!
RR

Well I lost .8 this week. A total gift from
God. And I am feeling great. I have not been
this thin in 10 years. Oh man....I can not
believe I have lost almost 30lbs. I still
sit back in total shock.

RR-There were times I could have sworn I was
pregnant just because my body felt differnt.
Just relax it will happen, take care of
yourself now as if you are. Oh I wish you
get your wish soon. Let us know ASAP!!!

Life is good here. I am on program and going
to work really hard so I can come back after
next WI and say I did lose 30. I am super
close.

BFB-I used a color called Beach Bunny. A
pinkish copper looking color. I really like
it.

Did you all know a cup of spaghetti O's is
only 3pts. Can we tell what I had for
dinner. And so is a Ho Ho. I know not the
best. But I was 5 down from my minimum for
the day. I just felt pukey this am. NO
CHANCE I AM PG!!


Well everyone have a good night. I really need a good nights sleep.

Hey all!

Still doing fine this week - although I seem to be retaining water, my stomach is sticking out a mile. that doesn't bode well for weigh in! But I'm doing everything right so I'm not going to worry about it. Like Dr Phil says - it doesn't matter what we weigh next week, it matters what we weigh a year from now. Great thing to remember! Am I doing things to gain or to lose, and I'm doing things to lose.

RR - it would be tough to have zero caffeine. Will the headaches go away soon do you think? Good luck on accomplishing that.

Pryia - almost 30 pounds is absolutely incredible! You have got to feel so marvelous. Give yourself a pat on the back from me. I have always loved ho hos - haven't had one in a long time. When my sister and I were poor college students we would celebrate our birthdays by buying the junk food we loved, because we never bought it otherwise. We'd have tombstone pizza, ruffles, and ho hos.

have a great day all - think like a thin person!

Rabbit

I am feeling great about the weight I have lost. And certain people make sure I notice that they have noticed.

Sitting here having a salad for lunch. An plenty of water. It is so humid I am drinking as much as I can. So I don't start holding it in. I was going to have a WW pizza but had a high point snack earlier so now it is time for a salad. I just skip the bread that comes with it along with the bacon bits and croutons.


We need rain here bad. They have water bans out and everything looks like straw. Those poor farmers. I know the corn crop is going to be bad if we don't get a good rain soon.


Off to check my email.

Hi everyone - I'm still around. I've been "lurking" lately so I'm up on everybody else's happenings. I just haven't had it in me to put on the happy face and join in but things are fine. My weight's been about the same or down a couple of pounds in the last couple of weeks. I'm going away with my girlfriends for a girls weekend so I'm a bit afraid of what will happen (you know what happens when the girls get together??) but I"ll try to be okay or at least work in some tennis or swimming.

Anyway Lauren - I have to know where your husband got you that gift. I've heard of it but didn't know where you can get them. I love to ride my bike but I think that would help a lot, I could even ride to work then! I don't think they're even for sale here (Toronto) but I'm going to be "across the border" next weekend so maybe if they're available from a big chain, I'll be able to find one. Any information you could find out would be so great.

Thanks.

Keep up the good work everyone,
Elisa
