Good afternoon everyone!

Laurie, we miss you! I'm thinking about you and hoping you are ready to come back soon.

Tammy and Donna -- where did you go? You were my daily support and inspiration on the JC site -- come back!

I got home last night to dinner on the table, the trash out at the curb for the garbage man, the bed was made, my nightgown was all laid out, the bathroom and kitchen were clean, and the patio had been swept. I'm thinking I'll keep the DH. I put in my dinner order for tonight and it will be ready again when I get home. Who knew???

How wonderful is that!!! Yep he's a keeper.

Very quiet around here, hope everyone gets back on board.....summer will be here and I know we want to be ready for those swimsuits!!!

Come on back ladies......

Phyllis

Hi everyone,

Yes...very quiet. Toooooo quiet! Did everyone give up?! I sure hope not!!!

Donna - come back!!!!! You were doing soooooo well!

I am staying around the same. I really want the scale to move down more but it has not really been budging for a month or so now. I did really well all weekend but I ended up eating too much yesterday. Sigh....

I will do my 1 hour cardio tonight. I keep on going.....

Susan-Can you train my hubby for me??? I talked to Donna and Tammy. Tammy's computer has been down, but it's up and running again so she better get her butt on over here. Don't make us break out the whip! And Donna has had lots of family stuff going on, and hopefully will be back as soon as stuff settles down.

I am an absolute hag right now. Hormonal and psychotic are two words that come to mind. I sure hope that 2 lbs I see is water - because I'm going to be ticked off if it doesn't go away byt the weekend...

I am not fit for human companionship right now - so I am trying to lay low.

Have a good day, Ladies!

Daisy, the 2 pounds is because you need a manicure and pedicure. Spoil yourself weight is a killer... Really! I think you should treat yourself to at least a polish change! Hope you feel better... try screaming, "I hate people!" If it doesn't help you, at least it will warn others!

Hang in there Daisy! Don't hate yourself over this. Remember that the scale doesn't just measure fat. It's just a number! Treat yourself to something nice. I know it's hard right now to feel good about anything, but believe me, I understand how you feel having put on that same 3 or 4 pounds back on last week and doing the up and down on the scale for a few weeks now! Hang in there! There is light at the end of the tunnel! Do not measure your progress with only the scale. Your healthy eating habits and level of activity is more important then that number. Don't think about that backstabbing scale!

Lafayette-I LOVE that! What a great idea. Gaining a few means we need to be nice to ourselves, and just maybe vent a little.

Daisy-Screaming really does work. When my MIL was here, at one point I got in my car and just screamed at the top of my lungs. Very therapeutic! Although I may have gotten better results if I had just screamed in her ear. Hmmm...Maybe next time.

Marcie, I did the screaming at the MIL -- thank goodness she's an ex! Didn't help. I like the idea of screaming in the car though.

Daisy, hang in there -- is it TOM?

Well, today has been a very lazy day for me. My 3rd night with insomnia, and I had to be at the dentist at 7 for a root canal. Boy wasn't that fun. So I'm just taking the day to rest and read, no guilt allowed. My doggie has been sick. Poor thing was throwing up all day yesterday, and her tummy was making really awful noises. She still isn't eating, but seems to be feeling much better. She's back to chasing the cat and basically making his life a living ****. I was pretty worried about her. I'm so glad she's getting better. Hopefully tonight I will sleep!

Marcie, if you keep having insomnia, ask your doctor. It could be your medication causing it. Also, try some milk before you go to bed -- that makes me sleepy every time -- a good one for me is some sugar free hot cocoa.

Must be sick pet day - DH had to take the cat to the vet today because she has a tapeworm -- ick! Funny thing is that it doesn't work on pets like humans - my cat got fat instead of losing weight. She has a little fat tummy that the vet says will go away once she's well.

Oh - I sure as **** hope so! I would hate to think I am THIS crabby for no apparent reason... I mean I have my hot tub - I get to enjoy that every night now... I have no viable reason for being such a crabby butt.

Grrr...

Marcie - I like SleepyTime Extra tea by Celestial Seasonings - the extra is Valerian... WONDERFUL stuff... Or - you can come visit me and get in the hot tub!

See you in the hot tub!
