omg, Gary you went to my home town--Staten Island.
I am feeling TOM blues...but not going to let it get me down.

overwhelmed with school this semester, but think i'm still in shock.

eating clean is the name of my game--trying to avoid balogna at all costs.

so is Mrs. Augie's weight a boy or a girl? CONGRATS Mrs. Augie!!!

Hang in there Jen ~ Yep my step-d went to college on the island ~ it was a girl...precious little thing!

Prayers for good study habits!!

awesome!! Congrats on your baby girl!!!! Mrs. Augie. Wow, Staten Island has a college!!! nah, i'm just kidding. I should know that one...left when I was 11 yrs old.

Actually I saw 2 of them there!

wow, I was always told Staten Island was most famous for it's dump! heh. i CAN say that I was born and raised there. I am from the Port Richmond area of Staten Island. Castleton Ave to be exact.

No clue where that is since it was my first and probably only trip there...but I know our hotel was on Lois Lane!

lol...oh yeah..was that next to Clark Kent Blvd. Wow..

Ok KIDDO...I don't know if you are messing with me or not I didn't see a Clark Kent road...but swear my hotel was on Lois Lane....

the only major road I remember being on was Clove

MsAugie-CONGRATULATIONS!

I am a bit sore today. I didn't make it to 60 minutes walking yesterday but made it to 55 minutes. That is up from 30 minutes in a week. So I am proud of myself still. I just need to work on speed now. My legs keep cramping up pretty good and I keep having to stop to stretch etc so my work out is taking a bit longer than a hour due to me stopping so much and getting off the treadmill. My weight did go up a bit due to those heavy calorie snacks I ate earlier this week when I ran out of my healthy stuff before I went back to the store and got more fruits and veggies. My weight jumped from 205.8 to 211.4 yesterday due to the heavy calorie snacks I ate for a day and half. Shows a big difference wow..But I am now back down to 208.2 already as of this morning. So that proves I will be needing to make two trips to the grocery store most likely. One main shopping trip like we usually do on Saturdays or Sundays then Wednesday run back in for more veggies and fruits only since I am running out by Wednesday usually. Just better planning is needed! :-) Dinner was a disaster last night. My pan broke in the oven and the oven caught fire from the oil that was in the pan that dripped out and smoked up the kitchen pretty good. Then my meat I was cooking had to go in the toaster oven instead and came out raw so I had to stick it back in there twice. I had never used my toaster oven to cook meat. I have to clean my oven today before cooking brownies. I have been invited to go eat dinner at a friend's house and said I'd bring brownies. She is making grilled fajitas for us four tonight. I am excited. I will fit in my walk before going to her house. Have a great day!

MsAugie-CONGRATULATIONS!

STILL AT 227

Still am at 208.2 and I could fit in my new-ish jeans pretty comfortably last night that I've had for about 5 months and only wore a couple of times because they were too tight. My old pair of jeans were so worn that even my husband said to throw them away. Dinner last night was good and we had a lot of fun with our friends. Have a great weekend everyone!

Checked in a little up this morning...what's new?...nutin'

Could be from the extra beers I had when the kids invited Angie and I down to the local sports bar for happy hour....

went to Fuddruckers for dinner and got my first ever buffalo burger...not too bad. I will get it again.

Just finished a 4 mile walk to Starbucks with Angie and the mutts...had a ham sandwich for breakfast when I got home.

Going to try to be sensible for the week-end bbq....

really!...swear...I really am...I mean it...truth...no fingers crossed...honest...beiev it or not...I can do it...I can....

have a great Memorial Day week-end everyone!

THANK YOU TROOPS!

Be good
