Is it spring yet?? Although today will be in the 50's here, it's back to winter tomorrow!

I need to catch up on my cleaning and motivate myself to go workout today (my quads are ON FIRE from yesterday's lifting). I'm treating myself to a NF cappucino this morning...because...I deserve it! :)

TGIF everyone and have an excellent weekend!

Just stopping in to wish everyone a Happy Friday!!! :cheer:
I hope you all have a great weekend!

Quickie pop in before I leave.

Candice is here right now cleaning and my house will be shining when I get home! It's so great to have someone you can leave alone in your house and not have to worry about the dog getting out or the family heirlooms disappearing! It helps to know the person's grandparents, brothers and cousins! Gotta love small town living!

I'll try to get back in this afternoon to see how we're all geared up for the weekend. I intend to sit and read for one whole day, at least!

I am still on a high from yesterday...I had a great day :cp:. Even went to happy hour with DH and managed to take half my meal home for lunch today and stay OP and under calories...Then went to the gym and hit cardio hard for a half an hour, came home and got a strength training session in. I went to bed very late though so I am TIRED :faint:. Not much in store for today. DH is out of town till tonight. I have to work my SAH job for a bit then I am free! Have a busy work weekend so I better get some me time in tonight. Hope you all have a great OP day, remember chug a lug on your water, and move the body your mama gave ya! :carrot:

Freaky – I wish my weekend meant freedom…I guess tonight is really the only portion of the weekend I do not have anything to do. Saturday and Sunday I have to shoot a soccer tournament from 8 to 4:30 each day, at least it looks like the weather should cooperate with me. I hope you have fun, sounds like you will.

Cottage – I think you should go to the slumber party, it sounds fun.

MsCrockett – I am so proud of you, sounds like you have been really staying OP, which I know is hard to do. As for starvation mode, ofcourse you will lose weight doing it, but you will also lose muscle, while you make look better on the outside the machine of your body is just a big mess inside… :nono:

Mamahulk – That was me last night, I could only get through the first half of my strength routine and the laziness and avoidance hit me. I just forced myself to finish, that’s what us chickies gotta do!

Ruth – you busy bee you, try to have some fun at bingo.

Pear – Good morning

Usmchoney – Good job getting that treadmill in early, I myself am a procrastinator

Beachbum – Wish I could help but I am at a loss when it comes to WW points, don’t understand it

Scatzi – have fun outside today, say hello to the sunshine for me. :flow1:

Crk, rotten banana – GOOD MORNING, hope your days go well.

Morning everyone...wow 2 pages already!! Chatty chatty!
Freaky - Your weekend sounds like fun. Sometimes I wish I had a more traditional working schedule. I'm working this weekend, but I'm working with my boss & she's actually very helpful on the weekends, so it should be fun.
JanaM - Spring cleaning? Ugh - I hate the cleaning part, but I do love a clean house!
Cottage - The pajama party sounds like fun (i think) Longaberger....my mom use to be a rep, so her house is (er was) filled with them. I have swiped a few.
Crock - Take care of yourself...there's no reason to hurt yourself. Your family needs you to be healthy!
Mamahulk - have fun with the kids this weekend
Ruthie - Can Candice come down here & clean after she's done with your house?
Pear - enjoy your puppy time in the park! Do you have any sites for low carb recipes?
USMC - Keely & you are in my prayers/thoughts!
bb - I don't understand calories either. Those sites tell me that I can eat 1850 to maintain (but who wants to do that!) Why is it so easy to gain, but 20 times harder to lose?
Schatzi - send some of that 60 degree weather up my way in the great lakes! It's windy & cold here!
Rotten - I gotta catch up with my cleaning too - not fun!
Crk05 - Hello, hope all is well with you!
ME - I'm going to cleaning this pig pen today & grocery shop. Then it's off to the laundry. I want to stop by the school at the end of the day & hand out AVON brochures. I also have a b-day party to go to, but I really don't want to go - ever feel that way? Have a great day!

How glad am I that it is Friday... :woo: very glad.

The best part about this weekend...We have ~nothing~ scheduled. Clothes are washed, apartment is clean. Bf and I are being bums all weekend. :spin: Well, I do have to grocery shop tonight. We've had a very busy month and it will be nice to relax and not be running all over the city.

I've decided starting on Monday, I'm going to go back to P1 for 3 days. I have not been exactly OP for about 2 1/2 weeks and these cravings are getting bad and with V-Day candy still on the shelves (and 50% off) and Easter candy also on the shelves, I need to calm them down. I am also starting my workout routine again...this time I am going to try and stick to it. 3 days at the gym a week.

I hope everyone has a great weekend...Don't clean too much :) ...don't run too many errands :) . Relax and fun!

-Anna

On the mend?
 

I'm home from work again today.... DH was like "why are you even going to bother going in when you know they're going to send you right home?" Oh yeah. So, I called my boss and told him that.

However, after several more hours of sleep (I just can't seem to stay awake) my face seems to have opened up. Far less pressure than before, teeth don't hurt anymore, no headache, etc. I think I'm on the mend! Still no appetite due to the snot cosumption, but doing ok.

Called the doctor yesterday (who's on vacation, conveniently) and the nurse never called back. She's going to get an earful if she ever calls back today. Granted, I feel much better, but still.

Well, should probably eat something today and lie back down on the couch. There's a permanent Lisa-imprint on the cushions from me lying on it all week. This is the worst virus I think I've ever had. Talk to you all soon.

Lisa

Is there a doctor in the house? I've spent most of the day doing research on the internet, but maybe you'll be able to give me more insight.

Well, I just got a call from her doctor. It seems that the most of her bloodwork came back normal, but he's concerned about the liver blood enzymes. He said they were elevated. The normal range for ALT is somewhere between 20 and 64. Hers was 633. The normal range for AST is somewhere between 15 and 37. Hers is 734. We have to go back next Wednesday so she can have more blood drawn and they can repeat the test. He said he doesn't want me to panic but these levels can be a sign of liver disease or failure. How am I not supposed to panic?!

Hello!!!! I have missed you guys this week!! I have been so busy with stuff that I have not had time to post at all this week!

OK - so my good news is - as of today I lose the two pounds I gained from the pizza binge last weekend. The bad news is - it took me and ENTIRE WEEK to do it. SO - I lost 2 pounds this week - and I'm so relieved. But it just feels like a waste of a week. Did I mention that pizza is the devil???


Ok - next week hopefully I'll be back in the game and posting. Getting on here in the morning really helps me gear up for a good SB kind of day!

I hope everyone has had a good week!

Later!
Heather

USMC...((((big hugs))))
I know it's hard not to panic, but Keely doesn't need that. She needs her mommy to be there for her. I am sorry I don't know anything about the liver or those numbers. Continue writing down everything like you said you were doing...that way the doctors have all the information that can get.
We are all praying for the 2 of you. Please let us know if there is any more news.

Not sure
 

Not sure if any of you will read any more of this thread tonight. But I want you all to know how much you all mean to me. You are all so encouraging. If you have 10lbs or a lot more to loose you all are so healpful and encouraging. I just want you all to know, this site truly keeps me motivated. I hope some of you read this because I just want to say thank you to all.

Hi
 

Can't believe I finally made it to the board............it's already Saturday for some of you guys.

I've had the worst 3 weeks of computer luck in my life. Work and home, systems down! Ugh. Finally got things fixed today at home.

It's been so long I didn't even do the February challenge! Anyway I've been trying to catch up on posts and decided it's impossible after that long. Hi to all the new "faces" I'm reading.

Who asked about a doctor in the house? I'm not a doctor but I play one at work. Elevated liver enzymes can be lots of things....that are temporary. Mono and Epstein Barr are just a few common ones. No panicking! Mine were way up about 3 summers ago and I felt awful. Come to find out I had mono AND Epstein Barr. After 3 weeks the levels were back to normal.

Schatzi, good to see you still have your attitude, but could you please NOT tell me about your 60 degree weather???????????????????????

Well, I'm at work right now until 0600 (extra shift) you all have a great weekend!
