HiedieHo All!
All is well, even though it is a rainy, miserable, achy day. Just want to hibernate. Went to NH then to beauty parlor yesterday. I had my hair cut Friday, but for some reason the back just wasn't right. The girl was very nice (my girl wasn't there) and she trimmed it up. It was nothing against my usual girl, just one of those things. It's fine now. Puppy is fine. I want to play with it, but that is a no-no, I don't want to run the risk of it becoming my dog. Had trouble with staying online yesterday kept getting kicked off. Today seems to be fine. Has anybody heard anything on Jackk? SUZY: I always start journaling than miss a meal or snack and that's the end of it. Need more discipline I guess! Enjoy your vacation, we don't have to do something spectacular. It's doing things together that's best. WOOD: May it go from your dream to reality!! JACKIE: Even if I don't use my car, it's just nice to know it's there. When we were first married we had two cars, then we realized we couldn't afford them so got rid of mine. Even though I didn't use it every day I felt like I was stranded. COUNTRY: In that headfirst dive, be careful where you land! I'd preobably land on a creampuff! FILLISE: So sorry you won't be able to make LA. VD was a nice day when I had a Honey. I think journaling is supposed to make us think of food, only I think it makes some of us have the wrong kind of food fantasies! PANCHO: I'm one of those people that pack the night before. A friend of mine actually gets her suitcase out a month before and packs and repacks, then when she gwets where she's going she still forgets something. My son had so many allergies and went through desensitivity therapy. It made a world of difference. The only one that did not seem to change was pollens. Good luck with Britt's therapy. CHRIS: From an old lady who remembers when things were safer. Kids have lost some of the spontaneity of youth. Kids just can't run down the street to a friends house or the park, or have a pick up game of ball, it's just not safe. I'm glad I am not bringing up children now, there is so much more to worry about. CHERYL: You are doing wonderful! Your determination is an inspiration. JENN: Nice to see you on board again. We all go through bad times with our woe. If competition is what will motivate you then let the challenge begin! GATOR: You began and ended your post with two very good MMs! Let the cheat be annoyed! Is it low self esteem that makes her want to pump herself up? TRANQUIL: Hope your virus has gone bye-bye. DS looks like a heartbreaker to me, girls will be tripping over themselves! Wire In the Blood! Love that show. Watched it last night. Did you see they are advertising a new Robson show about lawyers. I think it starts the end of this month. The show last night was supposed to be the final episode. I am a confirmed BBCer! SERENE: Good to see that you are still around! Like your dog! DEB: You need to get on top of that cold. Can't have you sick! I thought Michael has his license. Let him drive and you stay home. You certainly have a lot o be proud of with your children. DONNA: That's a motto that helps me a lot, "One Day At A Time". LDBLOND: Would love to renew! My words of wisdom are not necessarily followed by me all the time. I get discouraged at times and widom goes out the window. I'm doing the LA get-together but worry about being able to keep up with all the young chicks. I love parades but they are exhausting. Have to remember to ask Deb if she'll have room for one of those canvas collaspable chairs. Flylady drove me crazy! 99 posts from her a day it seemed. The ideas were good though. TRISH: TAke care of that throat quick. You can't be sick for the par-tay! Okay! I do have a life besides this computer! Time to get on with it! Take care, Shirley |
It's a breezy Tuesday, winds are suppose to get up to 20 mph for the next couple of days, my poor kids - their allergies are going to get them! Still feeling pretty good about my eating overall, last night I had a terrible time with feeling satisfied and ended up eating 2 SF/NF Klondike bars....at least they're all gone now. TOM is around the corner and I'm sure that contributed, along with my pain meds which seem to give me the munchies. DH had some callous words of "wisdom" last night, but he's dead right and I know it. He said that I had low self-worth, self-respect, self-esteem, and something else and that he couldn't help me. I had already identified this and have been working on it daily for the past couple weeks. It does seem like he only sees the negative but hopefully he'll recognize a change, but I guess that it's really more important that I do and I am seeing small changes take place every day. My shiny sink, a picked up house before bed, and the laundry almost done and it's not even 11AM! Plus I spent another day not focused on the silly tv!
Trish: I hope you feel better soon. Pancho: Check out www.flylady.net. Vmoore and Sabrina: Happy to know that I'm "flying" with such a great team! Sef: Send me an email so that I can get your address in my email program and we'll get started :) Anyone heard anything about Jackie? Deb, are you feeling any better? Have a good day, off to see what Flylady has instore for me today. |
Hello!
|
Hi Everybody!!! It's late for me to be just checking the board but today was crazy hectic. I think someone had a sign out on the highway that said "If you are in crisis go drop in on Ashley". One after the other...AHHHHHH. Mardi Gras is a rough time for many people and my workload is evidence of it. I am very much looking forward to unwind and relax with my fellow SugarBuster peeps in a few days. I am getting my car fixed for good on Sat. so I will be ready to hit the road!!! No real problems, just a lot of maintenance stuff all at one time. At least I don't have a car note on top of it. I am just complaining because putting out 1200.00 in 3 days is a lot for me...but as I said before it could be worse. At least I have the money saved and a job to pay for it. If only I could cut out my daily sometimes bi-daily visit to the coffee shop I would save a lot more. Oh well, I'm not ready to give that up yet!!!
Pancho- Great job on getting the exercise in. I hope Britt's allergy problems get resolved. Your upcoming vacation sounds fantastic!!! Ldblonde- The only person who ultimately has to notice and be OK with you is you, so good luck working on that endeavor. Try to stay positive!!! Sef- I am just like you with packing the night before. Can't wait to meet you! Hi to Countrymom, Tranquil, Serene,vmoore, chrisd, Deb, BOB, Fruit, Gatorgal, Woodfrogs, Fillise, Teensy, Rosalie, Monet, Trishaloo, YellowRose, and everyone else. Have a good night!!! |
Hi ALL!!!!
Sef!!!! How exciting - another BBCer!!!! I did not see the advertisement but now I am very anxious to see it!!!! It must have something to do with good taste from New Jersey???? heehee Thanks for the compliment on DS - lately he has been extremely worried about looks, causing me to be late getting out of the house!!!!! JackieO - Have a good evening!!!! ldblond - I am "Flying" right there with you!!! hahaha Sorry for such a short post, but getting ready to go to bed now!!! Take care All!!!! Sabrina |
HiedieHo All!
Weather continued miserable all day, a extra pill day! Didn't do a heck of a lot, visited with DIL, typed some letters, stitched, helped with supper (it was a joint endeavor). JACKIE: I'm so looking forward to Missy's, just worry I'm older than all of you and a little slower. If I get too tired or stiff, I can stay put, always have a book or handwork with me. Then you can all tell me about your adventures. You can bet I'm going to do all I can and then some! Ignore the moaning, I think the weather just brings it out. Your name will be easy to remember as it's also my GD's! Mardi Gras is a hard time for some because of all the partying, parades and preparations for each! We'll help you relax! TRANQUIL: Do you like "Murder In Mind"? Do you like Hyacinth, our Rose and Daisy? The Office? I watch sooooo much BBC. I don't know whether it comes form NJ but we do seem to have discerning taste don't we? Some people think boys don't worry about their looks, but I think they can be almost as bad as girls! You could be late to work for a lot worse reasons! Seems like the Board is very slow. Where is every body? Take care, Shirley |
i LOVE BBCAmerica!! I got hooked on it one holiday, watching TV with my housemates while they were running a Changing Rooms marathon. Changing Rooms, Ground Force, Cash in the Attic... I love them. And they had a series with John Hannah from Four WEddings and a Funeral that I really liked too. Rebus, I think it was called.
And while we're talking hobbies in common, I'm a confirmed Creative Memories Scrapbooker, although it has been forever since I did it. I think our digital scale has bit the dust. It flickered and died when I tried to check it out tonight. But maybe that was for the best, I had two really BAD days this week, Vince and I were out and were starving, and still had three hours until we could go get his wife and have dinner, so we hit McDonald. Two small chicken sandwiches and small Sprite,,,plus the fries they gave me for free! Then we went to Ryans for supper, and it was not too bad, except for the fried chicken and a helping of banana pudding. I went shopping the next day, ended up with two apple pie snacks, a bag of hershey's nuggets, kettle chips. UGH!! But, other than those two horrendous days, Ive been OP and I did two hours of water aerobics tonight, have another two hour class on Thursday. I'm loving water aerobics. DONNA_ doing good, sweetie. Hang in there! SERENE- Glad you;re back, plenty of duck tape if you wanna hitch to the wagon. Everyone- HUGS!! Be as kind to yourselves as you would to anyone other person you love. |
Morning . . .
Good Wednesday morning all. I haven't weighed in yet, and I'm thinking I might just skip it and wait a few more weeks. I'm starting to get frustrated that the scale isn't moving . . . and I don't think standing on it each week and seeing it not move is helping. Eating has been good - OP for two days now and haven't had any "extras". I find that journaling helps a lot because if I have to write it down, I'll think twice about it before I put it in my mouth. Kind of like confession on paper :lol:
Not too much else going on here. Just trying to get through the next three days before we break for February vacation. I'll be running around this afternoon and tomorrow picking this one up here and that one up there - but I'm really looking forward to being able to sleep in on Saturday without having to get up for Danny's 7:30 basketball game. I think I'm starting to get the "cold" that some of you have had. My chest has been tight and I'm all stuffed up - so a few days of rest is sounding better and better. ACRAYNE - I too do Creative Memory scrapbooking! I probably have about $500.00 worth of products - more than I need, mind you - but everytime they come out with something new, I think "oh I have to get that, it will look so great with my photos" or "I need those stickers to do this page, etc." Of course, I still have three half-finished albums and another brand new one just waiting for me to start working on them. Perhaps next week when I'm home with the boys . . . PANCHO - Have a great time on your trip. Remember to relax - don't do so much beforehand that you're too tired to enjoy the trip. That is what mother's do - all the running around beforehand and then when they arrive at their destinations, they are exhausted! Hope you did well on your test - I have't had to face that challenge yet with my class, but I'm sure it will be coming! I too have been wondering about Talitha - she hasn't been on for a long time - I think just after the New Year. Hope all is well with her - b/c I too remember she was really sick. Anyone watch S&C Sunday? What did you think? I thought it was intense - to see Carrie so firm in her decisions and so vocal to Miranda was a side I wasn't use to. I can't help but wonder if she'll really go or if Big will step in and stop her . . . Okay - gotta fly. Speaking of fly - thank you ladies for the flylady website. I'll need to check that out . . . SuzyB |
Good morning weigh in wednesday. I was a little worried after saturdays china buffet but i managed to lose 1 1/2 pounds!!! Down to 191.5!! I want to hit the 180's soooo bad!!! I WILL BE THERE NEXT WEDNESDAY!! I am determined!!!
Going to get my hair done today and then have to take daughter to get her belly button ring changed out ( fathers 17th b-day present to her :o ) Then taking son to get his hair cut. If its not raining today i plan to go walking. Then hubby wants to go eat outback steak house. Staying on plan is easy there. Steak, veggies and salad. Nothing is gonna keep me from the 180's next week. Congrats to all the losers this week!! We can do this, we are stronger than any food out there!!!We have taken the power back from the fudge brownie!!It no longer controls us, we control our destination. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! ;) |
Okay, so I've started a crap load of posts that don't seem to get too far for one reason or another, so I'm going to just pop in here and tell you all that I'm alive (barely), sick as s dog, tired as all ****, have too many things going on at once and no time OR desire to do a single thing, and sorry to say, though I want to get on the board, I don't want to get on the board - I don't want to sit at the computer, I'm so achey! MICHAEL leaves this weekend and still needs clothes and winter gear, some more darn forms have to be filled out before the 15th which I keep putting off day after day. LAUREN absolutely NEEDS to start learning to drive more because I seriously am thinking she's going to be needing a car soon - she has me running her to the gym to the library on Saturday for her class she's teaching, school for rehearsals and now she just signed up to go to this school after her school gets out to do the buddy thing where they pair kids up with down syndrome kids - can't remember the organization - brain is being eaten by green gunk!:eek: OH, let's not even forget that it's ORAL EXAMS time and I have to fill all the slots of exams that have started YESTERDAY - have 10 more slots to fill and make sure I call all parents the day before as a reminder to be there. Have to make sure I give my list to someone who will help me while I am gone. Hmmm, what else - I have nothing to wear to LA -nothing fits::cry:
So, here I am, wanting to go to sleep when I should be posting a long post that's so overdue, but I just have no desire whatsoever and I truly hope you guys understand - all I can say is that I'm sorry and I hope you forgive me for not being around. {{{HUGS}}}:grouphug: Debbie |

I am not weighing in because of TOM!!!!! I will wait another couple of days when I know for sure there is no water weight :)
SEF- Yes, I watch Murder in Mind, The Vice, The Office (if I get a chance to), I love Keeping Up Appearances - Hyacinth is hysterical - I also used to watch her detective show ..., and many more.... Don't be worried about keeping up with everyone at the get together - you will do fine and they will make you feel comfortable and welcome!!!! Arcayne - me too, Changing Rooms was addictive the first time I ever saw it, as well as Ground Force, but Ground Force to me is not the same without Alan Titmarsh (sp?)....I also like their new one, Life's Laundry. I don't watch Rebus too much, but my most worn out video tape is 4 Weddings & a Funeral - and the scene that brings me goosebumps is when he reads the poem "Funeral Blues" at the funeral - my favorite poem. Serene had gotten me into scrap booking - I did several, bought tons of stuff to do a new one, but have yet to take the time to put it all together!!! I really need to!!! SuzyB - S&C, cannot miss it! I was shocked, to say the least, by Carrie's reaction to Miranda, but I am not so sure it is jealousy on Miranda's part...though I understand her wanting to move on as everyone else has (and did you know the writer married a man in England and picked up and moved there not too long ago? so maybe that is where this angle is going), but I want BIG to show up!!!!! He means children, family, long time love, etc. - Barishnikov, I just don't know.... I think our next big surprise will be Charlotte getting pregnant with her hands full of puppies!!! VMoore - Congrats to the loss - shows you have been keeping up with the program :) DEB - sorry you are feeling so miserable....there is a light at the end of the tunnel...today is the first day without a sinus headache, sore throat, or aches and pains, and I don't sound as stuffy...it took me 8 days, plus a stomach virus, and antibiotics (Biaxin, 7 pack), Clarinex, and I am feeling pretty good today - even though the weather is absolutely dreadful! Got to go.... Sabrina |
Good weigh-in-wednesday.....I hope. I weighed in at 121# today, and am o.k. with that; I want to get back to 119-120# and just stay there, but what's a few #'s of fluctuation! I got to the gym Monday, Tuesday & this morning....I hope to go tomorrow to get 4 full days in before we leave Friday a.m. I took my test last night, and think I did well. I finished so early that I went to the gym; I thought they closed at 9:30, but it was at 9:, so I only got 10 minutes on treadmill, but I got the rest of my workout in. I was surprised how many people were there that late. I have a load of laundry in the washer, and will come home after dropping Britt off at school to finish up. My slow-cooker chili, made with ground buffalo, turned out great topped with a little sour cream and cheese. I left for school and my DH left it out in a tupperware container, forgetting to put in the fridge, so I had to throw it out. I didn't trust keeping it after it had been out for 4 hours. So, there goes my lunch for today. Oh well. I have some okra I will boil and eat with something else.
chrisd: They are treating Britt with drops under her tongue, some drops in water & one pill. Her stomach aches are getting much better, but she is still coughing a lot when eating, due to the eosonophils on esophagus. One thing at a time, I guess. sef: Thanks...I sure hope this therapy works for Britt too. I want her to be 100% well. I could never be a last minute packer. If it were just me and I forgot something, I could find a way to do without it, but if I forget one little thing of the kids, I'll hear about it :lol: . ldblond: Thanks for the info. on Flylady; it sounds as if it is a "get your life organized" site, right? jackieO: What a way to spend saved monies; I hope that is all you have to sink into that vehicle for a looong time. Suzy: I hope you are not getting sick; you need to be well to enjoy your vacation time. Enjoy sleeping in on Saturday; I don't even know what that is anymore. I think I did o.k. on my test, we will see next week. We should have a good time in Colorado...looking forward to the quiet time away. vmoore: Congrats on the 1.5#'s....180's HERE WE COME!!! I will be anxious to see your weigh-in next week. Deb: Are you busy enough???? Sorry you are feeling so crappy. You are missed! Heart: What's with the "hello?" Is there a confession you need to make :lol: ? Sit down, and take a deep breath....your SB sisters are here. Hope you are doing well! Better run! Take care, Natalie |

I lost a pound this week so back to 158 again...and again..and again..LOL But I am truly happy with it. I'm trying to remember it's not all about the weight but eating right and being healthy. Of couse the lower the number the better I feel... :) Some things will never change.
Nat...WTG getting in you exercise. I'm happy with my recommittment after the first of the year. My goal is 4 times but I'm actually hitting 6 workouts a week and I can emotionally. I think execise is the one thing that keeps me of anxiety medicine. Deb...sure hope you feel better soon. Arcayne...Woo hoo on all the exercise you are getting. Vmoore...yeah on the 180's coming up!!! HeartMom...((hugzz)) JackieO...good to see you this morning. Trish...hope you feel better soon. Welcome back Windy and Sabrina...it was soooo good to see ya'lls post the other night. SuzyB...hang in there. I've stayed around the same weight for almost 2 years. I understand how frustrating it can get. I let it get to me and put on a couple more..not a good thing. Sef...howdy! How's your shoulder? Yellow...WTG with all your walking. How's your sweetie feeling? ldblond...can't remember if I said welcome back, but good to see you back posting. Morning Bob...are you feeling better? Missy, Susan, Barbara, Beth, Jenn and the many other names I'm missing. Thinking of ya'll. Wishing everyone an awesome second half to the week. OP feeling strong and encouraged. Love and hugs, Crystle 235/158/140...it can happen :D |
What do you know..WIW was finally good to me. 159...down one pound and out of the 160's. Got my workout in this morning..1 hour on the elliptical. I am not as tired as I thought I would be after my long day yesterday.
Pancho and CountryMom are my workout inspirations this week.....will check in later. Everyone, have a good day--Ashley |
Oh, did I fail to mention, my TOM is 5 days late (but I do feel it coming on), I have to go to AAA, not to mention clean out my car before I take MICHAEL and his 2 friends to the airport EARLY Sat. morning at 5am AND ELI'S boss has given employee's significant others a task to make a collage of what I think about when I think about him which will have to be done before I leave????
I don't have a darned tooting thing to do, do I????:fr: Feeling icky and not wanting to do any of this but have to start to get ready so I can get the kids, bring them home, take LAUREN to the gym and I'm PRAYING ELI will be able to bring her home, though that will mean he won't get home til about 9pm. Oh yes, I need to stop and BREATHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, I CAN'T do even that!:shrug: Oh, forgot, have to clean off the dining room table so LAUREN & her friend have their study place! {{{HUGS}}}:grouphug: Debbie |
