CKB - :hug: your legs willl be as skinny as his soon

Kiko - can you ebay to make some extra cash? Sell unwanted or unused kids things??

Bella - we all go thru days when we are very hungry. I try to find something I can eat with very little consequence, like cucumber slices or celery

Mamahulk - hope you feel better soon

Ruth - I hope you have a wonderful time

Jana - its nearly the weekend, hold on!!

Cottagebythesea - your body just needs to adjust to what you've lost already and then it will let go of the weight



I have a new avi and I thought I'd share my babies with you all

http://media.putfile.com/Beach-Puppies

They are Max and Sadie (see my Avi, Sadie is on the left, Max is on the right)
We don't know how much black lab is in them because my husband found them. He was leaving a clients home (about three hours from here) and stopped to throw some boxes in a dumpster, saw a black bag move and then heard a whimper and found these two inside. He brought them home, we took them to the vet, they were very sick and we nursed them back to health. The vet estimated they were about 4 weeks old when he found them. They are now about 13 weeks old. The authorities have never contacted us to say they have found a responsible person. They are a part of our family now, they are my furbabies The vet says they are very healthy now and every where we go, everyone just adores them. I just wanted to share them with you all. I hope everyone has a great day :)

Morning Girls~

I so agree with the "pooped" feeling, I am sooooooooooo tired ,, I blame int on stress and from "Aunt M" this week,, I could honestly just sleep all day,
I have my Math mid term tomorrow.. NOT looking forward to it, I have to work on some Math today, JUST exactly how do you study for a Math Exam?
I never cared about Math in Grade and High shcool,, Now when It really counts , I am paying for my lack of attention to it,,,, Boy things always come back and bite you in the ***, dont they

Thufferin Thuckatash Thursday already???

one more day till all the tired chickies get to the weekend Hang in thar babalouies!!!

Countess: I enjoyed your video of Sadie and Max.. they are sooo lucky to have been found by your DH! I have 2 furbabies - Cairn Terrors (Toto dogs) and our lives revolve around them!
Crocky: :crossed: on your Math test!
Tammy: I think that's wonderful for you and DH! Good luck Darlin!!!!
Debbie: Oh lordy, I am NUTs for NUTs and just had to Ban them from the house.. I just can't control myself ..:(

A big HI :wave: to all the rest of you gals!!!

Time for more CAWFEEEEE!!!! :coffee: then out to play in the dirt!!! :flow2:

Countess I have actually never sold anything on Ebay- that is really a good idea. Even if I could just make a small amount- anything is going to help at this point! I wish I could get DH to part with some of his baseball cards. I always joke with he and my dad that they probably have a small fortune saved. We always seem to make it by, but I just would like to have a little freedom in the money department! DH is actually really pissed off- the job he has now is hourly, which is actually not a bad thing in the restaurant/hotle industry as you work SO many hours. He is pretty sure that he got shorted at least one day of pay, which would have been pure overtime. He is going to payroll today to get a printout of his hours. We shall see....

3darling Hope your daughter's ankle is okay!

Schatzi I am actually not too excited for the weekend to get here as it means an end to our relaxing spring break! We are having the baby baptized on Sunday, though, and I am looking forward to that. :angel:

My mom is heading over in a short while to lend her organizational skills to by older daughter's room. We tackled the baby's room on Monday, so today is the 4 year olds. She has so many games, books, puzzles... tons of stuff.

Hi Everyone,
Forgive me because it's going to take me a while to get to know you all and be able to keep up!

But KIKO, I hear ya on the finances. I don't have daycare issues but DH's busiest season is April-Nov and things are tight for the months in between! My son needed new sneaks and now my dd is say she does too.

And Tammy, congrats on your decision to go back to school! I'm thinking of doing so too (I'm 38).

I'm keeping OP I believe (I need to finish that book!) and I just finished my Tae Bo workout for the day. Have a great day!

Kiko - The sun is out now! I wish I had time to go outside. I'm running the Cub Scout garage sale this Spring so if you have anything extra that you don't intend to sell, we would definitely appreciate it. Of course, if you can make money off it, that would be the best for you. I remember how much full time day care was. I still pay $72 a week just to have Brian in before and after school care.

Work has been crazier than usual. I've got Roundtable tonight and need to find time to cut out a cardboard sword and shield to help promote Twilight Camp. We had a staff meeting last night and I was too excited to go to sleep easily last night. I get to plan the entire curriculum for the Bears. I need to find two other people to help me with two of the areas and I will staff one area. I need to figure out my supply list for the entire week after I figure out what activities the boys will do. We are planning for 150 Bears although last year we had 200 so we may need to have some extra stuff. We're having a real jousting demonstration for the boys and lots of other cool stuff. Now, I just need to find a kit that they can use to build a toolbox. I may have to predrill holes in the kits we do use so the sooner I get the supplies the better.

Mornin Chickies!

So I really need to get back OP today. DH has been trying to stay under on his calories so I have been tracking everything for him in fitday and he has officially lost 9 lbs! I am so happy for him. I think that being supportive of him is helping me too as I am down another half pound. I am feeling icky today and that is usually when I look to my comfort food…willpower dust please? Today I am working my at home job, then have 3 photos for the paper…I have some extra lean ground beef thawing in the fridge so I think I will make something out of that for dinner. I need to get some cardio in…life has been CRAZY over here and I have not made the time.

Freaky – no problem dollface I will send you out some extra sleep and double the weekend…

Cottage – I don’t know if this will work for you but I was struggling with the same 2 lbs a while back, really concentrating on doing things right…anyway I knew I was going to be going out of town and I put in an extra hard workout that was much longer than my usual ones…after that I got past my plateau, it was like doing something different workout wise jump started my body into weight loss mode again…

Ruth – have fun on your trip, I have never been to Canada but I imagine it to be beautiful.

Kiko – I hear you on the bills and money crisis…since we married it seems like my DH and I are just trying to stay afloat…everything is on payment arrangements and I have to constantly be keeping track to make sure we have enough and won’t miss something…

Ckb – I am sure he did not mean to hurt your feelings, but reading that I could definitely relate to taking it the wrong way…I am constantly having to remind myself sometimes it is more important the way a person MEANT something and not how I TOOK it. I am glad you found the secret to getting back on track.

Kelly – I missed yoga last night…isn’t it great though? I love the relaxation part at the end…

Tammy – congrats on your loss!

Demeter – black and blue eh? You sure you should be hitting the gym hun?

3darlingsmomma – at least it was at the beginning of the season and not around regionals, state etc…Hope she gets better.

Countess – your puppies are adorable!

I need therapy!
 

Or something cause I've been really depressed this week. I know it has to be related to losing weight and stored emotions that it brings up but it royall sucks! I'm usually a pretty cheerful person but it's like I have this weight on me that i can't shake. I'm lucky because my dad and sis both have clinical depression, so if all I have to deal with is a week of sadness here and there then I should be grateful. Is just NOT FUN AT ALL feeling this way. Even my workouts aren't really helping. Actually they probably ARE helping I just don't realize it.

Anyways, met with a trainer this morning cause I'm ready to start incorporating some resistance training into my routine. I tried this once before but didn't like my trainer. This time I'm starting out by stating what I want and what I expect and I think it's going to work a lot better.

Hope all you have a great day!

Wow lots of posts.....I've been up since 7 (that's early for me!) I went to Curves - which pelvic thrusted wasn't there, but crazy tongue lady was (when she works out her tongue is out of her mouth & it's goes the same direction has her body...so when she runs her tongue goes back & forth (talk about a H.A.M. sandwich!) I did get to work out in my NEW curves tennis shoes - how exciting!
Then I went to the laundry - 6 loads in about an hour (THANK YOU!!) But some other AVON lady came in & tore off my info on my Brochures & then left her brochures....grrr what till I see her at the meeting - there might be a fight over lipstick ladies!
I'm off to shower, got to the post office & then to work (GRR!)
See ya later!

Okay, I Need To Write A 7 To 9 Page Argumentative Paper, My Topic Is "challenging Lethal Injection, In Humane Or Stalling" I Think I Can Do 20 Pages On It,, I Have Got A Lot To Say About It...

Hi all!
Holy cow I am with everyone about this being a very long week!

Gosh, when I went to the gym this morning it was so hot it there that it made it very hard to stay focused and have any kind of energy! CRAZY!

It also flippin snowed here AGAIN!!:devil: I am so sick of the snow! VERY ready for spring and warm weather! :cool:

Well, just though I would pop in and say hello!

TTFN, RED

Howdy hi girlies. No word from any of the places but I assume it'll be next week probably before I hear from them. I had a co-worker who started just after I did tell me today that she feels like I've been set up to fail here. Hmm. That sounds familiar.

So we had volleyball tourney last night. We won the first match and lost the 2nd. Only got 105 minutes of exercise in but it was a tough workout the entire time. I ended up bursting a blood vessel in my left hand and my right ring finger (ewwww) and I've re-injured my shoulder. It feels just like it did 3 weeks ago. Crap. So, I'm going to skip kick boxing AGAIN tonight and try to work out at home instead of doing kick boxing and making my shoulder worse.

It is hotter than Hades in this school today. It's like 60 outside but in here I'm sweating. Apparently something's wrong with the system or something, I don't know. I just know that I'm in my PJ's for Pajama Day, and they're fleece, and the heater won't shut off on top of it so I'm quite moist. Whew!

Well back to work. Not really taking a lunch today because I have too much to get done. Talk to you all soon.

Lisa

'Noon Chickies-

I can't possible read back for months so does someone wanna fill me in on how you've all been?

Still chugging away but doing ok at my 201 (although I'd be happier at 199 :lol3: ) I am working out so that's good.

I've been MIA for a bit. First my nephew was born (attached pics! I'm an aunt!) then we moved. Now I am going to go on a partnership with MTV and United Way to the Gulf Coast to help rebuild (read more at www.stormcorps.org) for a week. It's been a whirlwind. Then more work travel.

So just popping in to make sure you all are chugging along too! HUGS

Hola chickies! Cloudy and miserable here as well. I HATE this weather! Can't wait for some 70 degree days and sunny skies. Who's with me on this one?

Looking forward to work being finally OVER for the day. Bf has been on an awful schedule for the past few weeks-- I work 9-5, he's beeing working 5:30 PM-around 3 AM. Hopefully in a few years when he has some seniority he'll be able to get a decent shift. Anyways, today and tomorrow are his days off. So yay! Tonight we're just hanging at home, maybe I'll convince him to go to the gym, and tomorrow we have a date night planned. So excited!

I know I'm getting old. Yeah, I'm only 22, but I FEEL old. I guess it's just growing up. When I graduated college in May, do you know what I wanted as a graduation present? A bookcase (I got one, too, a nice oak one). My sister turns 24 tomorrow, and guess what she wants me to get her? A paper shredder. I miss the old days when birthdays and Christmas meant cool gifts and toys. And I hate it how all the toy manufacturers are bringing back the toys from the 80's-- the Teennage Mutant Ninja Turtles and cabbage patches and Care Bears that I had as a kid-- it makes me want to buy them and play! I guess the toy companies have run out of original ideas or something...

Well, I hope you all have nights as pleasant as the one I'm expected. The bf is cooking... dun dun dun... steak! Yummy! Well, tootles!

Jenn - We've missed you! It is so good to hear from you. You do such interesting work. Many of us are still here posting. Ruth will be gone a few days (see her post in this thread) and Laurie is getting over an injury that is making it hard for her to get to the computer but we're still here.
