Hey my favorite Chicks!!!!!!
Lost another 2 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!
Must be from doing P1 for another week.(Did it cause I had 2-3 beers last weekend). So today starts P2! Found some awesome(already had one) English muffins at Sam's. Going to try those this week and see how it goes.
So now I am going to start hitting the gym again. My plan is 20 min on the elliptical, 40 min weights. (upper arms:you know, that flappy part, lol..whole back:have some neck problems sometimes, thighs: esp the inner thigh), In total, 7 machines. I think that ought to do it. Back in Dec, it took me 2 hrs a nite at the gym, did 30 min ellipitcal and same weights, just double. My pants were fitting a little better, but it took 2 months to see any results. I was not watching what I eat then either.
Hey, did I tell y'all my son loves salad? So when I have one with dinner, he has to have one too.


Ruth- Woman, you are always on the move. Stop and smell the roses.
Ellis- Good luck with the shower tomm!
Mamaeli- You made an offering to the scale gods huh? Good job hon.
Kiko- Don't worry, it took FOREVER for my son to start gaining weight. He's almost 4 and only about 25lbs.
Barb- OOO! That sounds awesome. Is the recipe posted?
Schatzi- Did you change anything you use to wash clothes, dishes, etc, with?? Get well soon gf!

Me-Just a a boring weekend of recovering from conducting a training class. I know I a hitting the gym. Might pull to a coffee house this afternoon and keep working on a story I am writing....
Have a good day on the sand!

I'm here. DD is taking her nap. Then off to do something fun, by vanilla bubble bath. Her idea not mine. We're still working on the play set but I need to borrow a ladder from MIL.

Lydia

Hey mamadragon, if I was still in Savannah, I'd come help.

Ellis: Thanks for thinking of me & dear old dad...we are having a cookout tomorrow -so DBF & I are driving south for 5 hours for a cookout. Dad's idea, but I get to play with Kloe, so the 5 hours is worth it!
I am frustrated because the scale is not moving! I gained 5 lbs last week & I'm still carrying it! I think some of the problem is with my birth control pill. Last week I was such a mess, I forgot to take a week's worth, so I decided to stop taking it this month & continue next month, but my period was a whole week early....so I'm not sure what to do....have to call the dr on Mon.
Have a great weekend ladies!!

Yes Ellis I baked the cheese cake and it came out great. My DH's mouths watering but according to the recipe cheese cake has to sit in the frig for 48 hrs to get the real taste of the cheese.

Hugs BB

Hello to All,


Just a quick post, computer has been moved around all day, so I couldn't get on.
The room is shaping up nicely, boy did we have a lot of "stuff", DH has been so sweet to help sort and organize. I will try to take pictures soon.

I appreciate all the support this week, and the info from Laurie about waiting to exercise. I think I have already shared this, but I love to workout to The Firm video tapes, I really love these!!! They are great for me. However this week, if I didn't know better I would say I had the flu!! Ugh!! I feel awful, really hard not to give up!!

OK that was my whine for the day!! I will leave for a conference tomorrow and be back Wednesday, I have packed almonds, cheesesticks, peppers and celery. Hopefully I can get eggs, salad, and grilled meat at the hotel restaraunt.

Take care,
Wanda

It's hot and I am sunburned!!!

Did well eating (Phse 1 esque because I felt like it of all things!!!!).

But must drink more water.

Hugs to all

I LOOK sunburned, but I'm not sure why. I wasn't out in the sun yesterday, but my face is all red this morning. I wonder if I got windburn from the fan last night.

Wanda, I hope the conference goes well, and that you manage to stay OP!

Jenn, isn't that bizarre when you eat properly because you want to? What's THAT all about!? It's like we've temporarily "grown up" or something. If only we would continue to listen to the needs of our bodies.

Soon2b, what Phase are you on? Don't forget you've had a rough couple of weeks, and they're probably catching up to you. Maybe you should go back on Phase I just to detox again.
Hope you had a good time with your Dad and Kloe.

Beach Bum, I hope you're not planning on having any of that cheesecake. It sounds wicked. I didn't know that about letting it "sit" for a better flavour, but it makes sense!

Wenchy, congratulations on the two pounds!
Great idea getting back to the gym. Your weight loss may slow a little in the beginning (what's THAT all about! ), but your body will look great!

Angel, you poor love... being in a cast in this heat. I don't blame you for taking it off! Heal quickly, sweetie, and stay cool.

Lydia, how's the play set going? I'll bet your DD is excited.

I forgot to weigh this morning, and I've already taken two sips of my coffee. Darn!
It's going to be another blazing hot day. What a day for a shower. There are going to be about 20 people or more in here.
GoFishin, I'm just hanging (temporarily) sheets at the windows again to keep the sun out.
One more reason to lose weight... I've got a shipload of nice little sundresses/skirts in my closet that are too small. I bought a really nice skirt to wear at the shower, but it's long (covers everything), and I'll have to wear a long-sleeved top to cover my fat arms. I'm going to be dripping sweat. sigh. Well, maybe I'll lose a pound or two today. ho hum.

Well, I'm still in just bra and panties and am debating whether to go to Church like this! Ellis, do NOT wear a longsleeved top - unless you keep it wet! You want to have fun at the shower even if it is forced socialization!

I am definitely going to Church because McKenna who is six really wants to go and her Mum, Joanne, has an art show this weekend. Joanne illustrates children's books. After Church we are going to F's house for coffee (!) and goodies and the kids can play in the paddle boats on the creek. After that, I am going to just sit and read and drink water for the day! Well, I might clean out the doggier wading pool which looks like a swamp right now. Lucy keeps breaking branches from some weedy trees and putting them in the pool!

Sorry I've not been commenting on everyon'es entry. I barely have time to read them all these days!

Cool Sunday to all!

Ruth, I dare you to go to church like that.
Last night we saw a large woman out on her porch in her bra. DD and I just looked at each other and said, "Good for her!"
Enjoy your day, sweet Ruth.

Crap! It's already 80F here with the humidex! I'm going to DIE today! Die, I tell you!

Hi Chicks

Wenchy- Big congrat on your 2 lbs gone.Just remember to go into Phase 2 slowly.

Have to go, have to get ready for church. Stay cool & beaching everyone

Hugs BB

MOrning!

Don't know why we are up. Little one has a sore eye or something. We can't figure it all out but she had some schmutz last night and now it's not oozing but she's still fussing at it. And why are the animal docs closed on Sundays???

Going back to bed I think. It's too early to wake up voluntarily. I'm not THAT much of an adult Ellis

Mornin Chicks! Just drinkin my coffee talking with Mom.

Ellis...Enjoy the day with all your peeps!
