Just peeking in to say hi to everyone. I know you guys are on target with Mooz at the helm over in here. You guys are a small group but mighty in support. I like that. Stay together and stay strong. you'll all make it out alive, fit and healthy that way. Keep up the good work!!

Hello Ladies

Had my test done today, and from what they could tell everything looks ok. I think they have come to the conclusion that is is IBS.. (when they can't find anything wrong, but you have symptoms they through you in this catagory).. "Being sick" has been my excuse of not exercising everyday, but it doesn't keep me from eating things I shouldn't eat. But after reading about IBS, stress is one of the major factors, (which I have in my job).. and we all know that EXERCISE is one of the best things for that. Like i said before, i'm getting off my butt and back on track.

Mooz - thanks for all the info on the water. I think we sometimes forget how important it is. I have definitely have to drink lots of water today, to flush out that barium drink I had to drink today..

Semo - I sure hope you don't get caught driving without your CDL license, Isn't that a big fine?

Taz - your welcome to drop in here anytime. You are such a inspiration to all..

Laurie, Jen, T-girl, Hope you all are doing ok today...

talk to you all later...

My son just woke up, have to make this short, Hi all!!

My day is going pretty good, planning to finish up with tae bo, already did my walking, Feeling pretty good!!

Hope everyone is doing splendid!!


Latisia

hi ladies!! Patty, so nice to hear from you, and your irritable bowel. I always find it comforting when the docs can tell you what you DON"T have.... Hope you're feeling better soon.
Anywho, been drinking water like there's gonna be a shortage soon, and sticking to my 5k training. I've been visiting the
running web pages and lurking in some support groups. Lots of marathoners, which I certainly cannot fathom at this point. I mean, the winner of the Boston Marathon ran for like 2 hours. ****, I can't even do 2 minutes straight right now!

Remember the other day when I said it was springtime in the Rockies? Well... I lied. It WAS spring, not it's back to winter again! LOL!!! Nasty snow and stuff. Will have to break out the long johns to train tomorrow, or maybe run on the inside track at the Air Force Base.

Hello to mooz, SEMO, taz, t-girl and jehari wherever you might be!

see youse later!

GOOD MORNING GIRLS!

It is a lovely morning and don't you feel soooooooo much better when the sun is shining
I was dancing for 2 hours last night and it was good.

Patty - I'm sure you are relieved to hear that it is IBS that you have as it's the 'not knowing' that worries us. I was thinking about you all day yesterday and waiting to hear your news and it's not that serious.
It is maybe your body's way of saying to you "Hey you're not looking after me properly" So you know what you have to do - you start looking after yourself by eating good foods, drinking, (WATER PATTY) exercising and destressing and you can sort that body of yours out once and for all and as a bonus what a figure you will have !!!

Lauri - Good for you on your training and drinking your water. You will get better at it every day


T-girl - glad to hear you are doing well and exercising. You sound very positive which is good.

Semo - I liked that bit also about saggy skin!! Your bathroom sounds like mine except I also have my daughters bottles and 'stuff' in there too. It used to be so untidy until my hubby got a cupboard built for it (the size of a wardrobe!!) with shelves in it and now we have a shelf each and it is all hidden!!

Taz - thanks for thinking about us and dropping in to spread your sunshine about

Billiesrosie - hope all is well with you.

Jen - Hope you are well too - call in and say Hello sometime.

Will call later

Take Care All

good afternoon! I stayed home from work today. Some sort of stomach bug. I came home early yesterday and this AM I was all ready to go, took my younger son to school and headed out. Made it to the first stoplight and turned around
Spent most of the day cuddled up in the recliner with my quilt. I was fortunate to catch two good old movies too: A Summer Place with Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue, (one of my faves) and The Philadelphia Story with Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart. I love that one too.
Hope you all had a good day, and have a great weekend!
I think it's supposed to be chilly here again. Usually we have one last snowstorm in April, so I am holding my breath.
See you ladies later!
Lauri

Good Morning Girls. I had a bad day yesterday, eating all the wrong things, but today I am back on track.

Mooz:
You are too funny!!! I loved that!! It kind of looked like me too, with the ponytail and bangs LOL!!
I am feeling better today. On Wednesday I had eaten lunch at a restaurant (which I hate doing). I had a green salad and iced tea. I thought the iced tea tasted funny (sour or something) so after I drank most of it I switched to a diet soda. I think the tea was bad, and that's what got me. "shudder" My friend had a chicken taco salad with the optional hair on the side. (We will never eat there again) I told the waitress, so we got the senior citizens discount for our lunch, and free drinks. They were nice about everything, but still....
Am feeling better today, so back to the program.
Incidentally mooz, wtg on getting right back on that horse. I too have had bad days but just don't let it ruin your whole program, ya know?
T-girl thanks for the good wishes and I do hope your weigh in goes well today. Let us know.
Hello to those I miss: Semo, Patty, Jen, taz, et al...
luv yas

Just dropping in for a quick hello. I'm working today and yesterday I went with my youngest to the eye doctor. He had messed up his cornea by wearing his contacts for too long without giving his eyes a rest. (I've been telling him for years that this was not a good thing) Anyway his regular eye dr sent him to a specialist so I wanted to go with him just in case. You know the over protective motherly type...yep that's me. Now he will not be able to wear contacts for at least a month (maybe even longer) and never be allowed to sleep in them anymore. But the good thing is that the dr didn't think there was any long term damage.

Did an hour of yoga yesterday morning before I left to meet him (college student) and did fair on eating yesterday. No exercise yet today.

Well back to the old grind. Have a great weekend.

Thanks anne, and Lauri. I have lost an amazing 3 pounds in the past week!! I am really happy! I am going to post alot more tomorrow, just hectic today. Everyone take care, and I will talk to you later!!

Latisia

t-girl woooo hooooo!!!!!!!!!! go t-girl, go t-girl, go t-girl...
3 lbs, awesome!!!!!

Yesterday I did my run/walk inside at the Air Force Base. I really liked the track there, and the NO WIND thing was nice! Yesterday morning when I got there we were in the middle of some sleet/ice storm thing and I almost busted my gluts in the parking lot it was so slippery!!! Then I got up to the bldg and went to grab IT and it was just solid ice. Unreal!!
Today the sun is out.. there is some snow on the ground but the sun is out and it will be 40 today.
see you ladies later!!
oh and Go PACERS!!! (mooz, more basketball, pro this time ;-)
Lauri

My, my Lauri, that is some cold weather, unlike ol texas,,, Thanks for the congrats, I am stil doing well, and I went on a walk too, IT was pretty nice outside, but looks like it might rain.

How is everyone?? Hope everyone is OP, well talk to you all later!!

Latisia

Hi girls.
I am writing in blue and feeling blue because I have had a bad eating day and I need a good kick up the butt!! When I feel like this I just want to eat. I did walk 6 miles though so I suppose that is something.

T-girl - you are an inspiration - just reading your post has made me more determined to snap out of this. You are doing so well and you are feeling on top of the world because of it.YGG

Lauri - you are also doing so well - getting in all that practice for your big run and in all weathers too!! good for you

I take you support PACERS!! How did they do?

Semo - what would our kids do without us? My son came home from university on Friday with his eyes all bloodshot and I went to the local chemist and got drops for him as they seemed to have an infection. He is on Neotigason for a skin condition, that he has had for 7 years, and I was worried that it was it that was the tablets that were doing it as the side effects can be severe. I don't think mothers ever stop worrying about their kids!!

Patty, Taz and Billiesrosie - hope you are doing well and OP.

Jen - where are you - call and talk anytime you feel like it.

Gotta go now.

Anne[/SIZE]

Mooz, if I may ask, Do you have PMS right now? I know I sometimes just hog out on M&M's and whatever else strikes my fancy at this time. And I *never* weigh myself during PMS week.

((((((((((((((mooz)))))))))))))))))))
What about you all?
