Hey ladies! Just wanted to give the update. Our u/s yesterday was perfect. Baby measured exactly what I thought he/she was, the heartbeat was 148. The only thing dr. is worried about is Gestational Diabetes, because of my PCOS I think. I am only borderline insulin resistant though so I hope it doesn't come to that. I will try to eat healthy! I think I am getting to the point where I am starving all the time. There are still a lot of foods I don't want to eat, though.

Jessie thoughts & prayesr for you and your little one

Hey everyone! No time to even read posts today - got to work 30 minutes late! :yikes: Hope everyone is having a great day and I hope that I have time to check in later! :wave:

Morning Ladies
Hope everyone is having a good day. It may take me a few days to get everyones names straight lol. This is a pretty busy time here at work so I am just going to stay for a minute. The weather is nice low 60s. Great for walking at lunch.
got to run

good morning. Nothing much going here in Houston. its a warm sunny day. Should take the kids outside but too much housework to do. Will be getting rid of our ONLY female puppy today. I'm very sad because she was my favorite but at the same time, pretty releaved that that's one puppy less I have to take care of. We have one left to sell, male. He's a full white boxer and he's not deaf. He is such a sweetheart. He and the female are the cuddlers. I just can't wait till they are all gone, as much as I love them and will be sad to see them go, I will be releaved. I'm tired. Gotta go pick up my sons prescription for his ADHD today. I don't wanna drive all the way to the doctors just to pick up a piece of paper but I have to, they can't call it in because it's a controlled substance. It sucks. My daughters birthday is tomorrow. She will be turning 2. And my best friends birthday is on Sunday. I'm making her a surprise birthday cake but I don't know what type of decoration I should do. She's a slightly difficult person to decorate a cake for. HHHHmmmmmmm. Something I've got to think about all day and get started on it tomorrow seeming that I need to take it to her work on Friday to surprise her. I'm so excited to be doing this for her. And for my daughters birthday party, I'm making her a princess cake with a tiara on the top. I'll post pics when I do it. I'm so excited for them though. Well, i'm off to do my housecleaning before they come to pick up "Lola". Ta ta for now.

Fluffy - WFH means work from home. We use that acronym at work quite a lot to indicate that someone is working from home that day.

Laurie - I don't trust Robert not to take stuff he shouldn't if I'm not here. He is actually not allowed to be within 500 feet of the house except that we got this exception that allows him to come with a friend to get stuff. I'm hoping the friend (Ron) brings his boys so Brian will have them to play with.

It took me 2 and a half hours this morning to take the train downtown and pay the bill and come back. Paying the bill was less than 10 minutes. I would go into the office to fax in the receipt but that would take another hour away from work so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Hey chicks, a quickie post for me as it is almost time for the school kids to come home. I have been super busy with dance stuff, and I actually have all of our taxes done. YIPEE and I don't owe to to much for a change. lol. So I am very much way ahead of the tax game for a change. Now I just have to get this trade show over with the first weekend in april and then we will be off to Halifax the end of april for 6 days can't wait, I need a mini vacation. Well I must dash. Hopefully I can get in here more but just remember it is not because I don't want to I am just sucked up in the dance world at the moment.

Got my 33 minute high intensity elliptiacal workout done and I have eaten my lunch so now it's time to finish up this day.

Hope your days going great

Our female just got sold. I'm so sad. She was my favorite but I'm releaved, one less puppy to worry about. All our puppies have gone to good homes so that's all I care about. I don't want them going to homes that will train for fighting. Now we're down to 2 males but only one is up for sale. Still gotta go get my sons prescription and my other 2 just fell asleep. It'salready 12 and so much to do before picking up the other boys from school. Don't know if I should just wake them up and get going or finish the housework while they sleep and do the grocery shopping, etc tomorrow. Decisions decisions. Everyone, have a good day.

Gonna, you Jane Fonda, you! You're killing me...I barely manage a medium intensity 30 mins on the elliptical!!! I'm almost afraid to ask--what does your high intensity workout involve?

Barb, I'm so sorry...that's awful. :( I hope the kids come to relieve the tension and make it easier for Brian and you.

Jessie, I'm so glad your little one is healthy and doing well! Did he/she look adorable on the ultrasound? ;) I know...it impossible to tell what anything is unless you're getting the cool 3D kind. Do you not feel like eating anything because of morning (aka "all day") sickness? I hope you are okay! It could be an old wive's tale, but they do say the worse your morning sickness is, the less likely you are to miscarry! :hug: Take gentle care of yourself, hon!

The eagle has landed! Everything went perfect with the flights and Tom got in around 9 last night. Yay! He went to gymnastics with the kids this morning, and we've got AWANA tonight...it's our busy day.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I got to sleep in this morning AND go for my run because I didn't have to leave at six to be back before the in-laws left for work. Double yay!

No time for personals today, but I'll get back in gear soon.

Kara

G'Day to Everyone!
 

OK it's been a while since I've posted on the boards, but I have not given up on the diet. I'm happy to say that I'm down 52 lbs as of today and feeling great. The best part is HUBBY finally joined the bandwagon. I just wanted to make a quick post and get my self aquainted with the boards again. The support and friendships on this board is amazing.

SO HELLO EVERYONE!

CANN! Congrats on your amazing loss so far! Glad to hear your husband's joined you!!!

Jessie, so glad to hear your ultrasound went well!

Hi everyone,

I'm a little bit new to SBD but not to 3FC (I had another user name a long time ago). I've done SBD a few times and always felt really good when I was on it. About 18 months ago, I quit my job. There was a gym onsite and I went 4 or 5 times a week. At the time, I'd grumble because I didn't lose weight. Well, I've gained 15 or 18 pounds since then. I really think the lack of dedicated aerobic exercise made a big difference. My eating habits hadn't changed drastically (picking picking picking). But the times I'd gotten into SBD, I felt so much more in control of eating and felt so healthy.

Recently, I've had two doctors tell me to get it together before I feel actual health consequences. So...here I am.

I started SBD about a week and a half ago. No weight loss yet, but I do feel better.

Hope not to be so long-winded every day!

Oh and hi CANN bubbala!
