and Hi notsolittle!!!! Welcome!

How do you get the cute weight slide at the bottom of your posts?

Yes, NotSoLittle is new. :welcome: to The Beach.

Good morning ladies. I am soooo sore. I let out little "ouches" everytime I go up a step in my house. Did strength training last night, got my water in, did eh on eating. Was happy to see some rewards in my measurements even though my scale is being evil to me and showing me the same old same old. SOmeone asked what color my office is being painted...yellow pin strip is the answer...figured it would make me cheery when I was in there. Well off to work, gotta get it done, shoot soccer, do cardio and clean my house today so I will be a busy bee!

ruth - Sounds like you have a pretty full day. I do not blame you for not going out on the lake with him. Sounds entirely too cold for boating to me :)

cottage - I love party lite candles...so you are really going to have your hands full this weekend huh? You can get some cardio in chasing that grand daughter.

janam - Do you have a plan for not eating any of those sugar cookies. I like soons plan...put whitening strips on your teeth then you are multitasking and cannot eat while you are cooking.

schatzi - cawfee, rain, bed and furrbabies sounds like an excellent morning.

soon - wow I wish I was that customer, do you guys take the money back ( I assume you do)

kelly j - have fun in your empty nest, FREEDOM!

sunlit - I will have to look for that cookie recipe...I loooove chocolate chip cookies. How did they taste?

tar - That is so nice of you to have flowers waiting there for her. I am sure she will love them.

danielle - I am so jealous...I love going to the zoo. Have fun and stay OP :)

dare2love - I like the new avatar. Your so pretty!

jazztap - no idea about the ingrediants...the cocoa looks suspect.

rnmom - I am sure your yard will look spectacular. The photographer in me says take lots of pictures, especially of him in uniform, those are so priceless...

lotsolittleanymore - welcome to the board. I am sure you will be a seasoned vet in no time :)

jenne - Oh hate MIL's...mine is the pits so I understand why you would be at work hehe.

cottonfarmer - either use a ticker from 3 fat chicks or tickerfactory.com and add it in to your signature.

TGIF chicks!

I hope you all are doing well. I am so happy that the weekend is here. I had a shortened work week since I was traveling on Monday and Tuesday but I never really had a chance to recover from my trip. So this weekend will be nice! Tomorrow morning I'm taking one of the doggies to an agility trial (to watch, not compete). It's looking like we might have some nice beach weather :beach: so maybe we'll go there on Sunday.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Oops, didn't realize I didn't say what the ingrediants were from :) It's 'zero sugar added' hot chocolate.

Welcome notsolittle!

Hi Gals!!!!! I'm a little gun shy in this weather since we got zapped last month - lost a monitor,phones etc...Will continue to storm alllll day So it's a good day to clean my crack house :lol3: That's what I call it when it looks like a tormado hit inside! I had all good intentions of cleaning yesterday but I ended up having a marathon phone interview with some head hunters and then had a compnay express interest if I wanted to move BACK to NJ :lol3: How funny is that!!!!
So.... must go get my swiffer and smite some dust bunnies!!!!!!!!! :wizard:

Sounds like everyone's pretty busy today!

Tara & RNMom & Stephie - Granted, the sugar cookies won't be SBD-friendly, but I'll give you the recipe that I come up with. I've got a couple of different recipes that I think I'm going to combine. I'm just wacky that way - call me the "mad chef". :D Stephie, I don't have a plan to avoid eating them except to chew a lot of gum - I might have to try the teeth whitening strip idea. lol

Will try to respond to posts after I get home from work. Later y'all.

Hi kids! Boy, I just don't know what to do with myself today. I woke up EXHAUSTED after getting a decent night's sleep. I know that tonight will be a long night because my parents called me at 9:50 last night (I was half asleep) to ask if we could all go out tonight. Sigh.... twist my arm. So I have had 2 Diet Pepsi's today and am fidgetty as all get out but still can barely keep my eyes open. I think I might have another one and see if I can stay in my wheely-chair.

So um, yeah, that whole "running" thing didn't happen last night after I took Karen out for the birthday drink. I had to drink more of the birthday drink than I thought I would have to. Jammies and laying on the couch is all that happened after I got home. Running probably won't happen tonight either, as I won't have time to go all the way to the Y, and we're supposed to have MORE SEVERE WEATHER (WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP) this afternoon. It's already starting to cloud up.

So yeah, last night if we had any weather, it wasn't severe and it didn't wake me up, so that's all I care about. Well crap. The weather radio just went off and scared the living daylights out of me. (woop woop woop woop and such.) Apparently we're under a tornado watch until 8:00 tonight. Looks like Jana may have to hit the dirt as well. Hurrah. I'm a little sick of this already.

Well back to work. If weather comes through while I'm still here, I won't have time to get anything done because I'll be helping to herd children. Talk to you girls later.

GO CUBBIES!

Lisa

Not So Little: :welcome2:
Jenne: lol!
RN Mom: You sure sound like one TOUGH lady, being able to deal with those types of things on a daily basis! More power to ya!
Steph: Are you in your new place now? I love yellow!

Bye 4 now!

Hey ladies,
just popping in to say hello and I had a quick question.

Without being gross, has anyone had trouble.. um.. keeping things regular? I've not had to use the bathroom in a good number of days. My pharmacist suggested something to help out and I am going to take that later tonight. Has anyone done anything siminar? Is it very harsh on your stomach or anything?

Sorry if this is innapropriet for the forums, I just wanted some outside input! :) If it is not forum-friendly, please delete this reply?

Hi everyone...Happy Friday!!

Have been meaning to pop by all week but it seems whenever I get a post typed I've been booted out by the site by the time I go to post it; what's up with that :?: :?: Anyway a little annoyed with myself all week I've been eating nearly perfectly the first 2 meals of the day & having my afternoon snack since I get hungry about 3 (usually 15 almonds or celery with 2 tsps natural peanut butter) and then I blow it at dinner. And it's sometimes a HUGE thing like my husband took me out & I ate gnocchi or just a little thing that trips me up (like I took some SB friendly chili to a party Mon & the :devil: cornbread called to me & into my mouth went 2 pieces) but it's always due to my lack of planning:rollpin: So I am just pissed at myself right now because that is so DUMB. Anyway, on a cheerier note going shopping with a friend after work today and the weekend will just be devoted to cleaning ...hope I can do some of the Spring kind...like organizing closets.

Ruth...I wouldn't go in that boat either!!

Fab...There's a big difference between $200 & $800 somebody clearly isn't competent for his job.

Jana...Wow those cookies sound like a big job.

Jenn...I'd hide too if my MIL came to town;)

Cottage...You're so good to go to that candle party.

Demeter...Have fun at the zoo.

Schatzi...love your term for a dirty house...crack house:lol:

To everyone else take care & have a great OP day!!

Hey Geek Chick,

I had exactly the opposite problem with P1. However, I know CitraCal (they're orange fiber pills I need to double check name) pills can help when you have problems going they're meant to be taken as a daily supplement though. One other sneaky culprit that my doctor pointed out to me (when I had that problem) could be your calcium pill. A lot of calcium pills can be terribly constipating according to my doctor. The trick is to choose a calcium supplement with magnesium (magnesium is used for relief) so you don't run into trouble if you tend that way.

Also be sure you're getting lots of veggies & H2O.

Hope that helps.

Sue:)

Hi again
 

Wow, two posts in one day........

We have had sunshine, so instead of running I went out and killed the rest of the snow drifts in my yard, raked, planted bulbs, got out my 4th of July stuff in preparation for next week, decorated my yard and house...my neighbors will think I'm looney:dizzy: Next Saturday I will have a block party with "As American as Apple Pie" as the theme so neighbors can come and say farewell to this soldier of mine they have watched grow up. (We've lived here for 22 years)

Anyway, the sunshine was such a BLESSING today. I feel like I might be able to smile now.

Everyone have a fun Friday night.
