Everyone is Welcome!

POSTING A WTG: A WTG IS WHEN SOMETHING NON WEIGHT LOSS HAPPENS TO YOU LIKE A NEW DRESS IN A SMALLER SIZE. TO POST A WTG, USE ALL CAPS AND POST IT IN PINK. FOR EXAMPLE: WTG: I rode my bike 2 miles instead of one today
MONDAY: Today is Mission Monday and our Mission this week is working on how we see ourselves. Remember self image and body image are different and don't mix up the two of them! Keep your body image in perspective realizing that it takes time to lose weight and look different. As for self image, I can't stress enough that you know that you weight has nothing to do with who you are.
Funny story... the Father at our church has been absolutely determined to get my hubby into church on Sundays. (I think he's in his early 80's, vet of WW2, etc.)
So Father Skinner came over and TALKED! And not even about church! He just sat down and talked so much I don't think he took a single breath while he was here! He came over at about 1:30 and went home at about 7pm... and talked continuously for the entire time!
Finally (ooh boy!) he went home for dinner and Dave turned to me and said "Ok, we need a signal of some kind that means 'My brain is bleeding! Please go home!'" ROFL!! I told him that he already knew that Fr. Skinner was determined to get him in, and that he was propbably going to come over a lot to chat until he started to go to church..
So basically Dave's choice was to go to church and chat with him for about 45 minutes, or to stay home and chat for about 6 hours! Dave said that he'd come to church with me and the girls...
I laughed so hard!! I couldn't believe that Dave actually decided to go to church! He hasn't been for around 25 years!
Too good! I'm still laughing.
So how are you ladies doing? Julie- any special plan for Mother's Day/ Ced's birthday? We have no real plans. I still don't even know what to get Dave for his birthday this coming weekend. Think I'll surf Ebay and see what I can find for ideas..
Just checking in to say hi. My no sugar goal from last week went well until yesterday. I woke up late and left the house without eating. Well, wouldn't you know, the only thing for me to eat at the car show was Brownies. Needless to say, four brownies later uuggghhh.
Leeann, your peanut butter story has me rolling with laughter. I guess I'd would have rather had peanut butter, than spit up.
As for today's topic: I used to have a pretty good self inmagine, until one day I woke up and smoebody took my thighs. I couldn't believe it. They took them and left me with these thighs that were all full of dimply cellulite that slapped together when I walk. Anyway, I learned to live with it. Just about the time I was okay with the thighs, someone took my butt. What is going on? This isn't funny anymore. They took my butt and left me with a butt that touches the back of my dimply thighs. yuk. Anyway, all kidding aside. I'm ok with the body God gave me. Oh, there's times that I wish I were taller, you know, that type of thing. But I guess I'm doing okay.
TUESDAY: Today is Target Tuesday and our target this week is protein. No matter whether you are vegan, meat eater or what, you need that protein. Make sure you include some kind of protein in your diet everyday for good health and good weight loss!

I hope you are all doing well with your programs. Let's keep in mind we have personal challenges to meet by June 1st. I am proud to say I have already met mine so am going for another goal of 10lbs more by June 1st.
WEDNESDAY: Today is Wednesday's Woes so if you have some complaint, today is the day to talk about it!

My complaint is I have a sty on the inside of my eye lid and if it doesn't get better by the end of the week I may have to go to the dr about it. Can't complain otherwise as I am having lots of 4 pt days which means lbs down, which is ok by me!
Everyone have a great day. It is wet and sloppy here this morning.
Woe is me. There's no way I'll ever get to stay home from one of these 14 hour trips to the in laws house. The kids get too nervous if I'm not around then. Last time I went out to a movie and they actually thought I'd left them for good. Talk about some traumatized little kids when I got back!
I could really really use a weekend off.

(4 points! And my smaller shorts are fitting again! YAY!)

LeeAnn: For one thing, I think dark haired people get gray hair that shows up faster than blondes. Another is stress plays a big part in hurrying up the gray process. I am a natural blond, but am pretty much completely gray if I would let it all grow out and I am 52. My husband, who will be 57 this year, has gray hair, but you have to be really close to him to see it. If you are just sitting across the room from him or even sitting next to him at a table or a ballgame or something, all you see is brown hair. Why? The man NEVER gets stressed about anything. They say a heart attack will cause your hair to gray faster, but it didn't with my husband. Best thing is either color it to make yourself feel better or embrace it and don't pay any attention to it.
CW: If you want to get ripped off by anyone, a car dealership is the place to get repairs. I know it is important to keep your car in good running shape, but we never followed their "rules" because one, when we were younger and had new cars we plain couldn't afford it and two, nowadays it is a total ripoff and mostly unneccessary. You can get the same things they do elsewhere a lot cheaper, I think. If it is a 30,000 checkup, isn't it covered under your warranty?
I am hoping my eye is getting better. Yesterday it was sore if I blinked, etc and today I have to squinch up my eyes for it to be sore so maybe the sty is going down. I sure hope so.
I have to get to work. I have weight day today and floors to mop and for some reason the cat and dog refuse to do them!
LeeAnn: Right now one is snoozing on the couch and the other is snoozing in the guest bedroom on the bed. I decided not to wait until they were ready and mopped the floors myself. My little booger dog DID follow me around though! As for the weights, maybe I am expecting too much, you think????? Faye
Ladies - been AWOL this week getting my husband ready for his surgery tomorrow. I'm really getting scared now, but keep telling myself it'll be over by this time tomorrow. Please keep my DH in your prayers.
