Hi all
 

Wow, busy already this morning. Here it's only 0700, the easterners are probably already for lunch.....just about.

I did much better yesterday until I got home, then I was ravenous in my mind. I ate OP foods, but greater quantity than I should have. Went to bed at 9:00 p.m. and slept like the dead. Felt good.

Ruth, I'm having visuals about you in the tub with Lucy. Sounds like it was fun.

Steph, hugs to you.

seachick, yikes! I agree. Tank up on water today. Sheesh! Scales gotta hate'em.

cottage, glad your workout helped. I need that kind of motivation!

chipper, I haven't tried the wraps, but I did have the SB cheese pizza. It was pretty good.

wendybritches, you sound way busy. I would have bombed a math quiz on a good day! Pat yourself on the back for all the great stuff you do.

JanaM, have fun at the movie!

freaky, I'm like you. I always crave candy, I'm bad. Sugar free does help, but watch out for the 'side effects' if you know what I mean.

Hko, how many credits are you taking? Sounds like you are busy.

chilichick, Have fun at TGIFridays! We're getting one in our area I'm way excited. It's so nice that more and more places are getting into the better carb way of eating.

Tazcat, you have a tanning bed for your house? Wow, you ought to rent out time on it.................

Well, all I need is to get through today then I can have Saturday to get the house clean, do homework, do laundry, by groceries and maybe get a chance to put my feet up...............or go for a run if the roads aren't too slick. Hope you all have a great day!

Hey Schatzi, where are you???? Are you still in bed! WAKE UP!!!!!!

Hey beach babes..I made some terrible food choices last night...but onward and downward...today is a new day!! Hope you are all doing well today!!

ROFLMAO..Thanks for that visual Ruth....LOL

Wow, so many posts! I don't have time for individual hellos this morning, but I just wanted to stop by. I stayed up until 2:00 am getting stuff packed for moving this weekend. It was just one of those things where when I got going I completely lost track of time! Luckily sleeping in a bit this morning was possible since my school schedule is completely flexible (as long as I produce research, boss doesn't really care what hours I go in). There is still SO MUCH packing to do!!!

Hugs to everyone! :grouphug: I hope you all have a great day on the :sunny: beach!

freaky - did I miss your bday?? well, happy birthday late!

wenchy - sorry to hear about the test - what a pain having to rush like that! but :) on your mama coming home!

seachick - mmmm! Greek salad! Although the ones I make are OP - what was in yours that was a problem? Maybe it's a different kind of Greek salad.

Ruth - awww! That is so sweet! Pets really have a way of brightening your day, don't they?

RNMOM - only 11, but my geology class is keeping me at least as busy as any two of my classes last quarter! It ought to be 8-10 credits at least, not just 6! I'm enjoying it, though, despite all the work. I'm also trying to get ahead, as I have to spend a good bit of the day Monday going to the campus to do some odds and ends that I can't do online, and DH's auntie is coming for dinner Tuesday (read: I have to clean the bathroom and vacuum the floors at the bare minimum!).

Everyone else - howdy! :wave:

Back to work again! I still haven't been to bed - so much homework to do!

Tg.....
 

good attitude Kyemom!!

I hosted our little playgroup yesterday at my house which is usually a big pigout fest with lots of sweets and pizza and etc etc. But I put out peanuts, some goldfish for the kiddies, a couple ladies baked which was nice and then i made nuggets for the kids and shish kebabs for the adults-tuna, shrimp, beef, kiekbasa(turkey), with every veggie under the sun. It was a total hit!! So I'm doing a happy for me dance :dance:

I'm on day 6 now and am down 3.5lbs. My closest thing to a cheat was this morning when I got my sons peaches juice on my hand and I licked it. all of a sudden I froze in fear, lol, what a dork. Let's hope that one taste won't send me off the deep end:dizzy:

Hello everyone...wow - lot's of posts today. I was up early but df was on the computer. I finally told him to move so I could put my AVON order in. It's been done for about 10 mins, but I'm not going to tell him!
I'm off from work today, but need to do laundry & sell some Avon. I'm also putting a n AVON web site up later today - fun!
Ruthie.....My cat Thunder will sit on the edge & dip his paw in the bath water...weirdo!
I'm off to drink some coffee....chat with you later!

Morning Chickies,
Just gearing up for a LONG day on the job. I hate working on Fridays and there's this lady that just started here a month or 2 ago that just GRINDS on my nerves. I absolutely cannot stand her! She's always butting into all of my conversations and asks the most idiotic questions! She makes me not want to come out of my office! One of these days, one of us is gonna have to go or I'll go insane! Okay, that's my vent for the day.

I'm not so sore today, so that's a good thing.

Ruth, that is so funny! What a dog!

This weekend is gonna be a little crazy for me. I'm getting my new car next weekend so I have to take my stereo & all my new speakers out of the old car & my XM Radio & clean it out really good, spend lots rec time at the gym, & do some major house cleaning & of course go to church. :dizzy: .

Hope everybody has a fabulous day!

Talk to ya later!

Morning chicks!

Sorry I've been MIA. I've been really busy with the Soup Kitchens fundraiser coming up on the 30th of January. Plus I just finished Marketing results for the survey I was doing for that committee full of men. I'm not sure if the newly divorced one likes me yet - or if he just respects my work. It is funny when I was 23 I wanted men to stop staring at my boobs and respect my work. Now that I'm 41 I want them to stare at my boobs and forget respecting my work. :p :devil: Somehow respect just doesn't keep you very warm at night but it does make you sleep good.

My eating is a little mixed this week. At my food and beverage committee meeting on Tuesday we had to taste test desserts. I tried a bite of each but even that was too much so I need to detox the sugar out of my system for a couple of days and to top it off this weekend I need to taste test chocolate martini's for February's bar specials. I can keep it to a minimum but it will still be a lot of sugar.

Hope all you chicks are well. Sorry about grumpies Ruth!

Friday Friday FRIDAY
 

Hello, kind of new here. Today is my 10th day. I feel like I've been pretty good this week. Hope it pays off tomorrow when I step on that scale. Just wanted to say "Hi" and "Happy Friday!". :carrot: :cb: :cb: :carrot:

:welcome3: Sue!

Busy Busy this morning
 

Hello ladies! busy in here this morning. I'm cleaning house today. Our house was in the newspaper this week so I'm sure there will be some showings this weekend so I need it to sparkle. Please send lots of $$$ in good offers my way!!

Chilichick-I was laughing so hard at not being able to spit out water on Fridays. Godo for you enjoy your wine.

Heather-Yah on the daycare working out. That's so great!

Ruth-hope you feel better, I guess a bath with Lucy might just do it. Hoe hysterical

freaky-good going on smoke free how long has it been for you? That was once of my biggest challenges quitting and it's been 2 years now. I am so happy I did it.

cottage-glad Curves perked you up this am. Forget yesterday you can't go back!!

wenchy-good luck on your Tues test hopefully better than the quiz

Stephie-wow! you are one busy lady!! Good luck getting it all done!

seachick-I hate when something I ate hangs out for days on me. I'm sure it'll be gone by Monday weigh in. I always find if I eat too much sodium it's 2 days later that the scale shows it.

kyemom-I love you attitude onward and downward!! That's a great way to think!

Batmomm-Good for you on the choices you made. I bet the other moms were thankful too!!

Have a great day everyone! Chat with you later!

AmyB

seachick - Even if the Greek Salad was OP, the pizza would have had enough sodium that you are probably retaining water. I only eat Greek salad when I visit my sister in Florida. There is a Greek restaurant in Tarpon Springs that puts potato salad and anchovies on their greek salad. It is SOOOO good (but I only go once four years or so).

ruth - We have one cat that sits on the counter in the bathroom and cries until you turn the water on so she can drink from the faucet. :)

No time to say Hi to each of you individually. I'm working in the office today. I've got my gym stuff and plan on stopping on the way home. It's funny how I can make it to the gym when I work in the office but not when I work from home.

This is a quick driveby for me...
This week has been great. I've been keeping to my food plan and have started my exercise routein, too. I don't feel bloated and have more energy :carrot:
Yesterday we bought a Life Fitness elliptical that will be delivered next week. I can't wait. Then I will have no excuses!!!

I just posted in the recipe section for a wonderful marinade that I found on The Sonoma plan. You would not believe how easy and fantastic it tastes!! DH almost licked the plate!! It is Mediterrean Flank Steak but I have also used it for grilling chicken breasts, too.

I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend :grouphug:
