I meant to start the November thread before I left this morning. I got about half way up there and remembered! So here it is!

Happy November, everyone! Lets make this the BEST month yet! We can do it!

Toni48 11-01-2007 09:40 PM

Oh I love a new month. I'm so hopeing I can do better this month. I'm going to try my best. Tonight I made a taco soup for dinner. It was good but awfully spicey. Next time I'll use 2 cans of mild rotel instead of 1 can orginal and 1 mild. I've just got done ordering Dr. Oz's new book. I watched him on Oprah today. I really do like him. Guess I'll go back to watching CSI. Then its shower time.

Ellen 11-02-2007 10:18 AM

Morning! I was all suited up and ready to go to water aerobics, but did not get out the door. I felt bad, and decided I did not want to rush up there. Besides, the Friday instructor is my least favorite. No excuse, I know. I will go for a walk later.

I had to help Justin get Kaeleb unstuck this morning. He kicks his foot against the slats on the crib, and has had his leg go all the way through above his knee. Then he is stuck and you have to soap him up, and pull the slats apart to get him out. He of course is screaming the whole time. Poor thing.

I need to work on stuff for next week's sale today. They just sent an email and asked for a donation for the silent auction. I guess I ought to give them something, it sounded like it was more than a suggestion. :lol: I just don't know what to donate!

I will be back later! :wave:

Solly 11-02-2007 11:02 AM

Happy Friday!

Nothing new with me. Tomorrow we are going to the race track all day with DH's office. They have a private room this time. I am tyring to be so good. My eating has been great all week. They always have a salad. (note to self, take my own salad dressing). I should be fine. We have to pay for drinks so I will only have 1-2 wines. Exercise has not been great this week. I have just been exhausted and too much to do. Next week should be better. It was 35 this morning and only getting in the low 60's next week. Brrr.......

Toni, I watch Oprah a little last night and saw Dr Oz. I like him also. Let me know how you like his book.

Monet, Poor Kalaeb. That sounds painful. I'm sure you have plenty of beautiful things you can donate. Hope you feel better.

Well, it looks like it is just the 3 of us. I can't get on over the weekends so it will just be the 2 of you. Have a great weekend.

pamatga 11-02-2007 01:15 PM

Sugar and Wrinkles! Yep, that's right!
 
Well, I just heard on CNN that here is another reason to not eat that "white stuff" or anything else that has it in it: WRINKLES! That's right!

A recent study conducted by The British Academy of Dermatologists has shown that white sugar when absorbed in the bloodstream attaches to healthy proteins and then makes bad proteins which causes a breakdown of the collagen and elastin that is in our skin! Appropriately, those bad proteins acronym is A.G.E.S.

I still have youthful skin even though I am 54 years old. I am still mistaken for someone ten years younger. If "sanity" won't get me to stop eating that "white stuff" then "vanity" will!!;)

Thought you'all would like to know this extra bit of info that has come down the pike.:D

pamatga 11-02-2007 01:49 PM

Not quite new but almost ......
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I too hail from Atlanta, Monet!

I do have the sugarbusters book and I have read it a couple of times. I do know someone who did follow the book closely and did lose a lot of weight. Right now, I am using the frame work of the WW Flex Points just to keep me concentrating on portion control. My background is also with the OA Program which as you know has said for years that all that "white stuff" just isn't good for us!

Although there is a part of me that doesn't want to give up sugar "entirely", I will say that I have been eating "brown" for many years(maybe 8 or 9) and I prefer it. I do have some white sugar but only when it is "almost unavoidable". I have cooked with Splenda and I really do like how the recipes I have used have turned out.

Question: what about high fructose corn syrup? It is in all of my whole wheat breads and sometimes listed as the second or third ingredient. I am getting so frustrated with that. I am at the point of resuming baking my own bread so, again, I know what is in it.

I am also doing some research on both the Sonoma and the French Diet which also follows similar guidelines to Sugarbusters. Any comments or suggestions? :^:

Ellen 11-02-2007 02:59 PM

Hi Pamatga! My opinion on Sonoma or any other diet is that of course Sugarbusters is the best! :lol: Hope you decide on it and join us! Where are you in Atlanta? I am in Duluth/Peachtree Corners. On the high fructose corn syrup, I avoid it as much as I can. I am a diabetic and HFCS makes my blood sugar spike worse than any other sweetner. I get Nature's Own whole wheat bread, and it is made with brown sugar and not HFCS. I get it at Publix, so I am sure you can find it. I don't even bother with the no sugar one. The regular 100% whole wheat is cheaper and doesn't have the HFCS.

Toni48 11-03-2007 12:53 PM

Hello all. I'm cleaning and thought I would take a break. I'm also doing wash so things are flying in this house. I'm trying to start on getting our room ready for the contractor Jerry to work on our room. I don't know what to do with our stuff. But guess that will get figured out.

Welcome pamatega.... Sounds like you're on the right track. Hope you keep coming.

Monet- Bet you're busy today in the garage...

Well better get back. Duty calls ... LOL

Ellen 11-03-2007 08:54 PM

Evening! Yep, Toni, I spent a lot of time in the garagio today. I also went to Home Depot and got a bit for my dremel this morning. That was fun. Tom and I took Kaeleb for a walk this morning too. My ankle was killing me, but it really felt good to walk again. I need to do it whether the ankle hurts or not.

James is home until Monday morning. He is out looking for new luggage. His has been beaten up so much that it is about falling apart.

I sold a bowl this morning on my etsy shop. I was pretty happy, as sales have been down for me and everyone else too. I thought the early Christmas shoppers would be buying in October, but I did not sell anything! It was very discouraging.

I need to go do some work so I better get off here. :wave:

Ellen 11-04-2007 10:17 PM

Hello everyone! I got eleven mugs, a sugar bowl and creamer set, a tray with handles, a tray without handles with lilies, and a shallow bowl done today. Everything is drying. I need to get it fired tomorrow, so I can start glazing on Tuesday afternoon. I am hoping :crossed: everything dries quickly and with no catastrophes!

Tomorrow morning I have to take James to the train to the airport early, then I will head to water aerobics. I will check in when I get home.

:wave:

techwife 11-05-2007 05:52 AM

O.....M.....G I feel fat, puffy and sluggish. Since my shop started up, I have been, not only living the sedentary life of a mother pig, but have been on an all-out frenzy eating junk food and a boat load of crap that has been making me feel awful. I've gained SO much. I've been eating donuts for breakfast and hot pockets for lunch. I've just been busy and grabbing whatever. Then the onslaught of candy before, during and after halloween. I've been havign heart palpitations and have been wicked tired.

But that all ends today.

Yesterday, I turned 21 for the second time (meaning 21x2=42...21 twice) and had cake and pizza as a last hurrah, finished off the candy in the house and today the changes take place.

Shelley leaves for school in 45 mins. At this time, I'm saddling up the dog and walking with her to the bus stop and then going for a walk through town. Then, today I'm going ot the store to stock up on good food for the salon to keep in the fridge there...or making my lunch here and taking it there. Derek got me a new blender for there to make smoothies for lunch and I'm bringing my ice tea maker to make green tea. I'm taking my vitameatavegemins (remember that from Lucy?) and getting myself BACK ON TRACK. Weight isn't the issue at this point...I just don't like feeling like this anymore!! Bleh!! I just don't want to do anything but be a slug and I hate that.

Okay...off to start the coffee pot and get ready for my walk! Junior will love it too. But, see...I can get up, walk the dog for 45 mins or so after Shelley gets off to school, then get back in time to wake up Kyle for school and take my shower to get ready for work while Kyle eats his breakfast.

Okay...gotta run. Will do replies later.

Solly 11-05-2007 09:04 AM

Happy Monday Ladies,

Boy this day sure comes around quickly any more. IWe had fun at the track. Didn't win any money, but had a good time. I spent the day yesterday, cleaning out my closet. I mean all day. Cleaned out drawers and threw tons of stuff in the Goodwill bag. this morning I didn't have anything to wear.

The metal monster has me down 2 lbs this week. Weekend wasn't great, so I will take it. I'm shooting for more next Monday. I can't beleive I went a whole week w/o weighing. I am normally a daily weigher.

Monet, things will pick up on your etsy site soon. I think people are starting to start their shopping. The malls have been packed.

Toni, Does the remodeling start today? Hope you found a place for everything.

Pamatga, Welcome to our board. I am doing the same as you. Following WW on flex plan and incorporating the SB principles as much as possible. I am giving it another week, and then I am going back to strictly SB. I lost 105 at one point and have gained 30 back. So I know it works. Hope you join our board.

Well I see the followers haven't picked up. That is so sad as we had such a great gorup of people here. I'm sure come Jan, they will be back.

Got to go type a letter. Have a great day.

techwife 11-05-2007 09:36 AM

okay...walked this morning for about 20 mins and actually worked up a sweat! Had two scrambled eggs for breakfast and some strawberries and am having an apple now. Have to go to watertown later and will probably have lunch there. Will make it a salad of some sort.

MMM has me in at 170 :fr: Highest I've been in a very long time. I'll look forward for a nosedive in that number.

Half of my birthday cake is heckling me on the counter. I might have to give it to the neighbor. Well, half of it, anyway...my daughter and hubby made it for me and I wouldn't really want to give it away.

Okay, hubby is ready to leave. Talk with you later!

Toni48 11-05-2007 12:00 PM

Happy Monday to you all. I didn't do well over the week end so I'm glad its Monday. Its a really beautiful day out. Waiting for Jerry the contractor to come. He had to take his wife to the dentist so is late today. I still have a ton to do inside before he could work in here. I have no idea where our stuff is going to go when he starts.

Monet- You sure did get allot of stuff done. I hope the glazing turns out good. Your stuff would make such wonderful gifts.

Solly- Jerry still has lots to do outside before he can come inside to work. Congrads and a big woopie for losing the 2lbs.

Tech-Glad you're back on track. I sure haven't been doing well. I've got to buckle down to. I feel so much better when I'm eating right.

Well guess I'll run. I'm hungry and need to find food!!

Ellen 11-05-2007 12:33 PM

Hello everyone! Sorry I am late getting here today. I took James to the train, then I came home to change for water aerobics. I stopped to check the mugs and stuff and they were still too wet to fire. I stood there, thinking it through and decided I HAD to get a kiln load of glaze stuff going, or I was not going to make it by Friday. So, I scrambled around getting set up and hurriedly glazed everything I could find that needed glazing. I about filled the kiln and got it turned on. Then, because I missed water aerobics, I decided to eat breakfast and then go for a walk. My neighbor called me as I sat down to eat wondering where I had been. She was off today, and went to water aerobics! She said she called but got no answer. That is because I was in the garagio...sigh. Too bad! WA is always more fun when you have someone to go with.

So , the kiln is on high and should fire off in a few hours. I put all the still damp pieces on the lid so the heat will help dry them out. Then I have to fire them, and glaze them, and fire again. I think I can squeeze it all in fast enough to make it by Friday afternoon. Then I have to do inventory, and pack and etc. etc. etc.

I got a 30 minute walk in, and I pushed Kaeleb in the stroller too, so that has to help. :)

I will check in later! :wave:

TECH: Glad to have you back!

techwife 11-05-2007 01:56 PM

Okay....just got in from Watertown and ended up with a souvlaki from a greek restaurant. Probably not the BEST idea, but lots of tomatoes and lettuce and marinated chicken and I believe the pita was whole wheat because I saw brown flecks. :dunno: But it was better than the hot pocket I've become accustomed to lately. I also stopped at Michaels and got some pretty yarn to make baby boy things and a hat for myself for walking. Maybe mittens, too, if I have enough.

Monet: I loved walking Kyle in the stroller. He loved it, too. Kaeleb has to be at about the funnest age. Have you tried him with crayons yet? I used to feed Kyle his lunch in his high chair and then when he was finished, I wipe it down, tape a piece of plain paper on it and give him a couple crayons. At first, he's just try and eat them, but then he realized how much fun they were and he'd scribble and work those colors like a pro! Now he does things like Chinese architecture and the Titanic and the Solar System. I'm also looking into etsy to sell my baby crocheted thingies.

Solly: 2 pounds off is better than two pounds on!! :carrot:

Pam: Hi there! Welcome to the SB boards!! I am just 42 and I'm mistaken for much less and really am feeling the need to preserve my youngish looks, as well. I was working at the mall over the winter and couldn't believe the amount of 20-25 year old women are smoking and all I could say is, "Do you have any idea what that is doing to your complextion!!" Fresh air, sunshine (with sunscreen, of course) or at least daylight (which is sparse this time of year), at least moderate exercise and GOOD FOOD is so essential to maintaining a youthful look. Not only just for the skin itself, but for the smiles and well being behind the skin, as well!! Nothing says youthful like a good, genuine smile!!

Toni: New month, fresh slate, new attitude!! Let's keep the attitude going till december!! :D

Okay...off to pick up clutter before its time to get the kidlets. I love Mondays. I really miss pickign up the kids at school. I think I'll make them sit and watch a movie with me today.

Solly 11-05-2007 02:57 PM

Taking a break here.....

Tech, don't you work in the salon on Mondays? Give the rest of the cake to the neighbor,unless you are 100% certain you won't get into it. You will be better off. By the way, a Very Happy Belated Birthday. :balloons: :hat: Hope it was a great one.

Toni, I sure wish we could find a solution for those weekends. We socialize too much and are always thrown into wine and bad food choices.

Monet, Wow, you have a lot to do before Friday. I know you will make it though. Pushing the stroller is extra calories burned and fun too. I still can't get my puppy to walk with me.

Gotta get some energy going here so I can make it to the gym tonight. Going for 3 times this week.

Ellen 11-05-2007 05:17 PM

Duh! What is wrong with me???

:balloons: Happy Birthday (a day late!) Techwife! :balloons:

Toni48 11-05-2007 07:15 PM

Sorry Tech I didn't wish you a Happy Birthday!!!! :carrot: Hope you had a great day.

Eating has been good today. Had salmon, broccoli, and a salad for dinner. Hope everyone is having a good evening.

Solly 11-06-2007 08:37 AM

Good morning Toni , Monet & Tech

This is really slow. Made it to the gym last night. it was packed. I guess b/c is had been raining. Ran home fixed dinner, ran to the grocery and made it home in time to watch DWTS. But I was up and down on commercials, making lunch, making tonight's dinner, picking up. Finally at 10:00 I had to go to bed.

Eating is perfect for 2 days. :cheer: Hoping it stays that way.

Toni, My DH is really getting into Dr Oz. He was on Oprah again yesterday and he was telling me all the vitamins he said to take, etc. Tonight we are going to GNC. Let me know what you think of his book.

Monet, what you have going on today. Bet just working int he garagio.

Well, better get doing something here. I have to go to a funeral at 11:00 so I will be eating my sandwich at my desk today. May be back later.

Toni48 11-06-2007 09:55 AM

Brr!!!! A cold sharp wind is blowing and the high today is only supposed to be 48. Now I tell ya its cold. The workers are in coveralls and freezeing outside. They're moving our deck today so they can get to the mobile home underpinning. It can't come to soon. Hope they finish it today. I've just had a 1/2 a ww bagel with some whipped cream cheese on it. And I am loving this good hot coffee. Jackson is curled up under the blanket snoring away.

Solly- Great job on eating gal. Don't forget vitams A B C D and E. LOL. Should get my book any day now. I really like Dr. Oz. Wish my DH would pay attention to him.

Monet-Hope you got lots done yesterday.

Tech- Have a good day.

Okay I'm off for now be back later.

Ellen 11-06-2007 11:55 AM

Morning! I am just coming in under the wire here! I better type fast!

I unloaded the kiln and loaded it back up again this morning. It is already on high and I hope it fires off soon.

Kaeleb and I went for a walk again today. It is cold and windy, but clear and sunny. Nice weather, but we need rain desperately!

The stuff I unloaded was mixed. There were a few nice pieces and a few I thought were not so nice. :shrug: We shall see!

I will check back later! BOB ought to be back today. She was supposed to get her internet back today.

TONI: :wave: Aren't you glad you can stay inside with a cup of warm coffee?!?! :)

SOLLY: Same old same old! :) I think I will take a break from throwing for a few days. I have to smooth the bottoms of a number of pieces, and write up my inventory. Still have not decided on which piece to donate. What is DWTS? I am TV illiterate!


THE BIG ORANGE BABE 11-06-2007 12:59 PM

HEY KIDDO'S!!!!

Still no internet. I'm slipping in here at work so it will be really brief!

The internet guy won't be there until the 13th....the phone guy is supposed to come today.

This has been the biggest mess...I'll explain it all to you when I can get on here and stay a while!

MISS YOU GUYS....

BOB

Toni48 11-06-2007 04:49 PM

Monet- Do you know anything about Udon noodles. I know they're a Japanese noodle but what do they taste like? Are they something we could have on SB? I saw a recipe for a soup on the Food Network with them and would like to make it.

Bob- Yippee you're here. So good to hear from you.

Ellen 11-06-2007 05:28 PM

TONI: Yes, I know about Udon. They taste like fat noodles. :) They are made with white flour and so therefore are not ok for Sugarbusters. I have never seen a whole grain version of them. I know you can get soba noodles made with buckwheat, but not the udon.



techwife 11-07-2007 05:52 AM

Monet: I just always remember pottery class in high school when the teacher would unload the kiln. Such mystery to, A) see how that glaze you chose was going to look on your piece and B) see if anyone had air bubbles in their piece and exploded and killed everything else in the kiln. Enjoy your walks with Kaeleb. I miss them terribly with Kyle.

Toni: Talk about cold! It snowed here all day yesterday. It didn't stick and looked more like freezing rain or sleet, but it was white and falling from the sky, so I called it snow!

Bob: So nice to see you on here, even if its a quickie :lol:

Solly: Keep up the good eating habits!

Well, yesterday I had one whole customer! I'm thinking it was because it was REALLY crappy weather here...snow and rain all day and WINDY! I'm hoping the customers that didn't want to come out of the house yesterday come out today! I also went to the Chamber of Commerce meeting last night and handed out some cards and did a bit of networking. We have a monthly newsletter put out by the CofC and I had a great idea about putting in a raffle of sorts involving going to 8 or so businesses, getting a service or product there and then qualifying for the raffle at that business and then at the end of the month, we have a drawing for coupons to those businesses, or vouchers for, say, a free cup of coffee at the coffee shop, a free haircut at my shop, $10 off at the grocery store, a free small pizza at the pizza shop, etc. They all loved the idea! So, maybe it will help to generate some business and keep people from traveling to watertown. As if the $3.25 gallons of gas isn't enough incentive!!

Okay...coffee is ready! Talk to you guys later!!

Kris

techwife 11-07-2007 07:08 AM

Just got back from walking the dog...check out my signature with the three cookies!!

Ellen 11-07-2007 08:13 AM

Good morning! I have had espresso, and unloaded the bisque kiln. I need to start glazing pretty soon, but wanted to stop and say hello. The bisque stuff turned out great. Even the piece that had a crack that I had to repair...we shall see what it does in the glaze though. As Tech said, you never know! hehe! Actually, with practice you can begin to predict. I have a few glazes that I KNOW how they will work, and how they do with other glazes. I am beginning to feel more confidence about the craft fair. I hope it goes well. :crossed:

TECH: :woohoo: I am LOVIN' those cookies! I can put three on mine too, since I walked three days in a row! I will probably go today too, since it looks like Water Aerobics isn't gonna happen with the need to get the glazing going!

:wave: to everyone else!

THE BIG ORANGE BABE 11-07-2007 12:47 PM

The phone people didn't show up yesterday, but they did come this morning. KATE HAS PHONE SERVICE!!!! I bet her ear is already bigger than her head. She hasn't been able to talk to her friends in about two weeks!

The internet hook-up for Verizon is based on the phone connection so they say I still have to wait until the 13th

Until then

Toni48 11-07-2007 01:10 PM

Howdy ho. Its good and cool today. The men are outside banging and clanging. I need to start lunch for DH so will make this quick.

Monet- Thanks for the info on the udon noodles. I had went to Amazon and they said some of them were whole wheat so I'm glad I didn't order and get something I wouldn't have used. I guess I'll have to use ww spraggetti or something else. Hope everything turns out beautiful from your kiln.

Tech- What a great idea about the coupons. I hope it brings people in. You're doing good with the walking.

Solly- Got my book You Staying Young yesterday and are starting to read it.

Bob- Wow thats taking forever to get your internet back on. I laughed at Kate being on the phone. I would be the same way.

Well I'm off for awhile while everyone has a busy day.

Solly 11-07-2007 03:21 PM

Good afternoon ladies,

It has been busy, busy here today. Went to the gym last night and only did 30 minutes of upper body weights. After dinner, we took the dog for a 15 minutes walk. Tonight is our off night. I am anxiously awiating the Country Music Award show. I plan to iron while watching.

Monet, DWTS = Dancing With The Stars. I am hooked on it. Hope the kiln turned out ok. That has to be frustrasting when something is damaged and all the work you put into it.

Toni, It is cold here. Just keep that weather there would ya? I wore gloves and earmuffs last night on our walk. I always feel sorry for ocnstruction workers inthe cold weather. I could never do that.

Tech, what a great idea about the coupons. You have so many good ideas to promote your business. I am sure it will just take some time. You need to get some type of write-up in the local paper. That always brings a crowd.

Bob, we miss you too. Sneak in when you can.

Got to go into a meeting. Have a great evening :hug:

techwife 11-07-2007 05:17 PM

Actually, I did get a write up in the paper...the lady that does the neighborhood update, who usually writes about her friends and family that she knows and when they've gone to Florida or returned from Florida, but sometimes she doesn't something news-worthy and last week she had a paragraph about my shop. It was really nice...she ended it with..."We all wish her much success!" :D

Just a quick hello for now...will be back soon...

Ellen 11-07-2007 08:15 PM

Just finished up dinner. I had a lean cuisine and some extra broccoli. Then I ate a banana for dessert- the potassium helps my restless leg problems.

The kiln fired off this afternoon and I started working on inventorying the already finished stuff I have. I have tons more to do! I am packing stuff as I write it down, and I have one box full and enough stuff for two more! That is without all the stuff in the garagio I have not even brought up yet. Lots to do! And I can't wait to see this latest kiln load!

Talk to you all tomorrow! :wave:

techwife 11-08-2007 06:59 AM

No walking the dog today. So mad. Kyle got up at 6:15 to go pee and decided he wasn't tired anymore. Anyone that's woken a bear up out of hybernation will know what it would be like for me to wake up DH to sit with Kyle while I take a walk and will understand why I'm doing WATP this morning instead. DARN. I was on a roll, too. Its these little set-backs that make me just give up all together because if I can't make a routine out of it, I won't do it. I LOVE taking Junior for a walk down by the river....I hate WATP. But, if I can't take the dog for a walk consistently, I will probably not do it anymore and will just accept that I am fat and learn to live with it.

Ellen 11-08-2007 08:17 AM

Morning!

TECH: You need to move beyond the all or nothing here. One morrning of Kyle waking up early should not ruin your walks forever. Couldn't you tell him you were going for a walk and he needed to quietly read in his room until you got back? And NOT to wake his father up. :) He is smart enough and old enough to spend a bit of time alone, out of trouble, while you take care of yourself. Tomorrow, Junior will be so happy to go walk again... :hug:

techwife 11-08-2007 04:53 PM

Monet: I know...I'm just having a low day today. NO customers all day. I just feel like I'm being laughed at by the other hairdressers in town for daring to pursue a dream of mine and, to boot, I have no time to exercise like I want to because I have to sit there, getting secretary spread instead of vericose veins and bunnions from standing too long, hour after hour after hour, knowing I have mounds of laundry to do and a scummy bathtub to clean.

have to go make dinner. Turkey chili tonight. I'm freezing to my inner core. After chili might be a hot bath.

Howdy ho. Things have been busy here. Jerry is working on the kitchen floor. We're getting a new back door too. I took my friend to WAl Mart yesterday to get her medicine. Her car is in the shop. We stopped and had lunch and I finally got up my nerve and asked for the food I wanted instead of falling off the plan. So I had a grilled chicken breast on rye bread with mustard, lettuce and tomato. And a side salad. It was so good and I felt good after eating it. Last night I had a oven roasted chicken breast salad from subway with a ton of veggies on it. So that was my day for eating out.

Tech- Come on gal. Don't get discouraged you can do it. And I'm sure your business will pick up. Its still so new. Your walking has been great and I'm sure your dog loves it. Wish I lived near you. I'd love to walk by the river.

Monet- Guess your busy busy. Don't overdo.

Deer season starts here Sat. our little town just nearly everything shuts down. Even the school will be closed a few days. My DH's job has only a skelton crew. Isn't that silly.

Better run. Happy Day.

Hi Ladies :wave:

Just a quickie. It is nuts here. My desk is sky high. No plans for the weekend. May finally go get our glasses. It has been 2months since we got new prescriptions.

Tech, Even though you like routine (as I do), mixing up your exercise is good for your muscles and your will lose wt faster. Your muscles get used to the same thing then they don't release the fat.

Monet, good luck at the craft fair. I think it is this weekend. I know you will do well.

Toni, sounds like the men are moving right along. You did so great on your day out, you should be so proud. Now just to make it through the weekend. The day I had is driving me to drink.

Got to run. Have ag reaet weekend.

HEY HEY HEY!!!

I'm still alive and so are my kids! I must be a decent mother at least - they are still living!!! HA! Well, I haven't been here since October 12th - does that tell you how busy I am these days? CRAZY! I'm back at work - went back on October 29th. I'm tired...that's all I can say..Tired! 2 kids makes such a difference - especially when one of them is QUEEN TERRIBLE 2! OMG! She's driving me to want medication! Anyway...just wanted to say hi and post recent pics of the kids. Wish I could say that I've been eating good but those holiday oreos have been getting the best of me! Well, let me know what y'all think of the kids....

TONI: Are you serious? They shut down the schools for the opening of hunting season? WOW what die hards!!! HA!

Love you ladies!!
