Hey Chicks,
I know I haven't posted much on the daily chat lately but I just had to post today. My DH got his follow-on and it looks like we're head for Darmstadt, Germany. My mom is so mad at me that she's not talking to me anymore. She's blaming me for us being sent to Germany like we had a choice. The military is the military. They send you were they need you to go. My DH just reenlisted and sometimes when you reenlist they allow you to choose your duty station. My DH and I chose the monetary bonus instead. I have 3 girls I think it would be crazy to choose to go back home to Hawai'i instead of $20,000. So anyways, I'm sorry to bother everyone with my problems but I'm just feeling a little down and no doubt my mom has already told my entire family and turned them against me like she always does until she calms down and comes to her senses.
I hope everyone has a great day on the beach,
Take Care,
Pohai

Hello ladies! I am back from vacation and boy is it tough sitting here at work. We had an 6:45 am flight and was able to sleep a bit on the plane. We had lousy weather for the first 2.5 days but yesterday it was absolutely beautiful as we drove down the coast to Portland. I just love New England.

I have to confess that I was a bad dieter while I was gone....I definitely enjoy my share of bad food....fried clams, chips, ice cream, donut, cheeseburger and a few desserts here and there. I don't particularly guilty for enjoying these.....is that bad? I plan to probably go back to P1 tomorrow after some much needed grocery shopping tonight. The weather is nice enough to walk at night so I am going to aim for at least 3 nights to walk.

My DH laughs at me for being addicted to this board, but I caught him reading over my shoulder as I scrolled over the posts. He asks all kinds of questions about various people...it's really rather funny.

Still waiting for AF to visit. No cramps or cravings, and not even any bloating yet. I am on day 34 of my cycle and will wait for the weekend to take a test. I just can't take getting my hopes up again....


I must get back to work now. I hope everyone enjoys their day!

Cheers!

Sheila

hi gang, sorry i've been scarce but there was a blow up at my other south beach board and i started my own webiste with a south beach forum.

no time to do anything but get that up and rolling.

oh we did go to hershey park on saturday.. and i stayed on the beach....

So, I'm about to go change into my workout clothes for my first session with my personal trainer. I'm a little nervous because it's been a LONG time since I've worked out in public and also because I know she's going to push me. I know that's what I need, though.

Well, I'd better run to the car and grab my gym bag. I'll try and update everyone on the outcome later.

Kim Hope that your workout goes well. :lifter:

Shequila Welcome back! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. :crossed:

Nessa There you are! I am impressed that you created your own website.

Quiet on the forum today... I made the Nessa bars and have a pot of the Kidney Bean Tomato Ragout simmering on the stove right now. The house smells so good! I am going to make the girls some cheese quesadillas to have on the side. I will stay far away from those as I don't have any WW tortillas.

DH has a late shift tonight, so I plan to get the girls bathed and to bed early. I am going to curl up and read as well as listen to the Democratic debate in the background.

Hi, gals! It's been a busy day. I dropped off the car at the dealer this morning for a 30,000 mile check, new battery and by the way, did I know my rear brakes were down to the metal? Yuck, over $700. While I was waiting for the shuttle to take me home (working from home today), my pager went absolutely crazy! We had a 6 hour outage today and I think I got about 600 pages, maybe more.

And my team lead is out the next two days and we have huge projects going on right now. Eating was not good this weekend with Brian's birthday party and the Twilight Camp party last night but all the bad food is gone now and I'm fixing lamb for dinner. I'll try to post more tomorrow.

Waves to you, too, Ruth. Hope everything works out with the new computer!

Sary, hope your back is feeling better soon!

Hey, Betty! If I had the Harry Potter book, I wouldn't be going out either!

Megan, have fun with the last week of summer school!

Kelly, I'm glad you had fun at the party. This is one big learning experience, so log your solutions and resolve to do better next time!

Kim, sounds like you're having fun with the trainer! And no smoking!! Keep up the great work!!!

Mare, try finding non-food ways to reward yourself for things. Great job with the cupcake, though!

Kara

POHAI! We'll be at Ramstein in March '08! We should have a Germany 3FC meet-up!!!

Kara

Sheila, I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Nessa, what in the world could cause a blow up on a South Beach board?!

Barbara, glad you're back on track. Sounds like you had a fun weekend, though!

I'm off to get the kids their breakfast and get dressed for the day. It's raining here, but we're heading out anyway. We'll have to "dodge the drops" as my grandmother always said!

Kara

Hello! My nap was good but still not enough. I'm wiped out and it's only the end of Monday. Just finished dinner and am waiting on DH to come in from washing cars so we can eat.

I got some of my new makeup in the mail today! YAY! I love it! I love pretty much any makeup but it always makes me feel good to get new stuff. Makes me feel pretty.

Well, I should probably holler at DH or I'll never get to eat. Talk to you girls soon!

Lisa

Whew! What a workout! I spent 60 minutes with her and she pretty much kicked my butt, but in a good way. She had me speedwalk/jog a mile, do a circuit series with crunches and push-ups, and then had me do two build-ups (which were the hardest). She also stretched me out really well and I feel great! I was quite out of breath most of the time, but that's to be expected having just quitting smoking a week ago. She assured me it would get better with time.

All in all, it was a great workout and just what I needed. Tomorrow's water aerobics for an hour, training again on Wednesday, then water aerobics on Thursday. I'll rest on Friday and then do some treadmilling and bike-riding Saturday and Sunday! I better go write it in my calendar. Have a great evening!

You're on Kara. At least I can say I now know someone in Germany. Our report date is April 08. My DH is CI, what's yours?

Tom's an Intel Analyst. He's Air Force.
