Hello to Everyone!

Still freezing here. I don't have much oomph today and only got in a 30 minute sculpting workout. Better than nothin'!

Have a SPARKLING Day!

Good morning girls, if it's a good morning for you. Stupid blizzard. School's cancelled today but I had to drive all the way across town in it because someone has to be here to answer the phone when people say "Are you having school today?" My question is this: If I can drive all the way across town to get here, why can't the other parents drive their kids to school when they all live around here?

Good news is that I have FINALLY lost a pound this month! I'm at my March 25 goal!!!! HELLO 120'S!!!! It's been 8 years since I've seen the 120's.

I'm starting a new "diet," if you want to call it that. There was a sample menu in this month's issue of Women's Health and I thought it looked good. It's high protein, but you still get your "good carbs," veggies, fruits, and desserts. I've modified it since I'm a vegetarian, and I'm still sticking to my 20 Weight Watcher points per day. Here's today's menu:

B: Oatmeal with 2 T. dried fruit. 1 cup milk.
S: Fat free yogurt.
L: Country vegetable soup and 2 Triscuits.
S: 4 Triscuits and 1 oz. LF cheese.
D: Mixed greens salad with LF dressing, brown rice, stir fry vegetables.
S: 2 whole wheat fig newtons.

It's pretty much high protein, high fiber, whole grain, and fruits and veggies. I'm quite excited because I can have the occasional cashews again. Might even toss some in with my stir fry tonight.

Well, yesterday my dress wasn't done yet. Today, we have a blizzard and IL Rt. 4 is closed so I can't get to Chatham to get my dress. I guess I'm going to have to go after I teach piano tomorrow. Volleyball is cancelled tonight at the church, and they don't even know if we're going to have a league at the Y because only 2 teams signed up. I am definitely not running in 5-8 inches of snow, and I'm not killing myself to get to the Y either. Looks like I'm going to be running in place in my house some more. Woo hoo.

Hope you all are having a great day!

Lisa

Afternoon.....my stomach is not feeling so great. I'm slowly getting up/out of bed. AND I get to go to work today! But then I have tomorrow off (hurray!) I think I'm going to pass out AVON books and scrapbook tomorrow. My SIL's b-day is coming up in April and I want to create one for her. She loves them....she gets them out & puts them on display at family gatherings.
Weezle - why don't you do the biggest loser dvd?
Pears - cute little boys
Sorry, with the queasy stomach, no curves today, which means no curves stories. I'm going back to bed for a bit.

Oh good thinking, Soon. I forgot I even had that. That whooped my behind, too. I just can't wait for longer days and warmer days. I want to go running!!!!!! I'm feel like I'm never going to be ready for a half marathon.

I'm pretty bored today. There's not much for me to do here, and my boss just left and says he won't be back until after lunch, and the custodian just went to lunch with his wife, so I'm here by myself. Apparently I'm not going anywhere for awhile.

Have a great day girlies!

Default Hiya

Just a quick peck-in (check-in???) to say hi.

Tons of snow coming down right now.....not doing my moods any good at all! I'm so ready for growing green stuff!

Just about finished with my two online classes. I'll be so glad to be done. I swear teachers must love to read because I've sure done a lot of writing.

Staying OP, not going out to run much lately thought, reason....see above.

Well, congrats to you losers out there!

Hugs everyone!

Morning (or afternoon by now) chickadees....
Not much going on here in Colorado. We have snow, its cold, house is in shambles, workouts need to be done...the usual. Oh and the financial problems have resurfaced... I feel like sometimes I take one step forward just to be forced 3 steps back...going against the current anyone know what I mean. I am just going to have to try and focus on the things I can control. Mainly my diet and exercise which have been slipping...I am still down 6 lbs but slowly gaining...So here is to me getting my water in and a decent workout, whether it be cardio or strength I am not picky. Have a great day girls, those of you with sunshine wanna box me some and sent it priority this dreeriness (sp?) is getting me melancholy...

Geekchic - THANKS for starting the daily thread girl...lord knows I am never up early enough to start one.

Ruth - I wish I had a green thumb, I barely manage to keep my plants alive...

freaky - you too hun, stay OP and don't let those computer problems get you down .

mamahulk - I love that - I could live this way for the rest of my life...isnt that what the beauty of being on the beach is? I am glad you have had success and I can tell you are working hard, keep it up girl!

cottage - you are such a good momma!

tyra - you sounds like you will be a busy bee today! I always say that when I slip...at least I didn't...I did better that I would have...a little knowledge about that right way to eat can go along way...

kelly - I hear you about the sleep...I did not get very much last night either...wanna share some of that coffee energy with me?

pear - your babies are soooo cute!

daretolove - I love waterparks, I hate however feeling so slef conscious in a swimsuit...can't they figure out a way to make those uniformly flattering?

usmchoney - its been a while since I have been on, I am taking it you found out what was going on with keely? It sounds like you have everything under control, my thoughts are still with you.

tara - wrapped in bacon that says it all lol. Those days happen, do not let yourself fall into the "i need to start over" trap - just do better from now on.

barb - your den meetings always sound so fun, can I come

crk - I was reading in the 20 somethings forum about someone who was being turned down for their law schools, it made me think how much hard work you must have had to put in to get accepted to so many of your top choices. You are one tuff lady christina...I am in awe of how you manage to do everything so well

pinkeagle - When I go out to eat I cut my portion in half and put it in a box...it always tastes better that what I was going to have the next day for lunch anyway and if it is off my plate it stays out of my stomach.

muffin - your absolutely right, 30 mins is better than nothing girl...dont be hard on yourself those 30 mins add up.

weezle - no kidding about making you come in, why don't they put a recorded message that is what my schools did, and don't they show it on the news...congrats on reaching your goal. I personally had no doubts, you work so hard!

soon - no curves stories? They always crack me up, hope your stomach feels better.

Hello everyone, well just got out of the hospital. I have the flu so bad and with the asthma I wasn't getting oxygen to my lungs. Luckily all the breathing treatments and meds worked fast, they just released me. I am waiting for CVS to fill my cough syrup w/codeine so I can take it and get some sleep. I want a hot shower and shampoo and my cough syrup and my bed. So, going to find something light for lunch and get myself bed.
Take care all

Default Good afternoon to all!

I'm new here, so let me tell you a little about myself. I am a 52yr old grandmother of 3. I work midnights at the hospital but am off now becuase I have a broken foot. I just started SB yesterday and have 35lbs to loose. My son is getting married in June so I hope to be looking better by then, I know nothing like waiting till the last minute. I am glad to have found this site, a friend doing WW sent it to me, I need the support and accountablilty. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Hey Everyone,

A late arriver, haven't posted in a couple. Been really busy with work and stuff. Let myself skip exercising yesterday because I'd had a "day" but made myself get up this morning and had such a great workout! Man the weekends are still killing me. I'm always up a couple of pounds at the end due to water weight and the fact that I have "bathroom issues," (sorry cause I know that's TMI but I'm posting late anyways so no one will prob read this anyways), by the end of the week I'm down again and the cycle starts itself again.

Oh well, still losing so can't complain. Just feeling a little down. It's hardly ever even MY stuff, just my friends that have stuff going on and it just weigh s on me.

Gonna eat some leftover taco soup. Chat with you soon!

well I just realized the post I thought I made this morning isn't here so like Sarah said it's late and this will probably go unread but who knows...

good evening to all

sorry about your...ahem bathroom issues Sarah, beans and spinach keep me going...

Freaky get that 'puter working you're such a good morning wake up for us

Ruth-I wish you could come and get my garden started-I want tomato plants, eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers, red peppers, basil and cilantro...please

welcome Granny!!!

as for me, my race training is going slow. I've got IT band issues which basically means my legs werent' ready to run even though i was so pain will come. On the brighter side I bought a pair of jeans today in a size that i didn't even know existed, lol...not really but it's been a long while. If you ever need a pick me up go to Old navy, I think their sizing is a tad on the bigger side but hey it makes me smile!

Batmom - I work for Old Navy.....and I can tell you why there is such a difference in sizes. When they go to cut the jeans (material) they stack it & make 1 big cut, so the top pair is a smaller fit than the bottom pair. But I think it's because you're working out so hard!
