Well the week end is over and its a whole new week. I can hear the wind and rain outside. I'm supposed to go for a salad with a friend this afternoon so hope the weather turns better.... I'm already to go on SB. I started yesterday. So I'd better start thinking of some kind of breakfast here. I'm used to just having a piece of toast but think I'll try some eggs today. We had a nice week end here. DH is still kind of messing with my new computer to get everything right on it. He downloaded music on to it yesterday. I think he's enjoying playing around with it.
Thanks Monet for starting the board. I'll check back later....
Good morning! I am sorry I was so late in starting the boards. I over slept...kind of. When I realized how late it was, I was downstairs getting coffee....so I hurried back up and posted. Hope it was not an inconvenience for anyone.
We took the tree down yesterday and cleaned up from it. I packed up the decorations and Tom carried all the storage tubs down to the work room in the garage. Now I just need to clean off all the cookies and cookie decorating supplies from the dining room table. I am SO ready to get my house cleaned up and more organized. You all can harrass me about it if you like. It will help keep me on track!
Lets have a weekly challenge. If anyone has ideas, please let me know so I can post them in the weekly post start up!
This week, the challenge gets to be my choice....
CHALLENGE: Clean out your cabinets! Remove any non-legal foods that might tempt you, and give them to a food pantry. Toss out leftover candy or cookies that are trying to call to you. Make this a week of laying down the groundwork for success in coming weeks. Plan your menus, and shopping lists, so you have what you need. Don't let disorganization or poor planning be what trips you up. Oh, and drink plenty of water!
That's it for me....Welcome to a successful week, my friends! WE CAN DO THIS!!!
I'm back at work after a week and a half and back on here. Christmas sucked. My niece and her children were sick and didn't get to come. My other niece was sick the whole day at my house, Sunday I got it. I was yucky all week. So much for having a week off. We got 8-10" of snow the Thursday before Christmas so I didn't work Thursday or Friday. It was a mess. Thankfully, it has been 60 degrees and raining so most of it is now gone. I hate the stuff. NY eve I melted my wig. Didn't know it until I got ready to go out the door. What a perfect ending to a hellacious year. I'm glad it's over and pray 2005 is going to be much better.
My desk is covered of course so don't have any time for replies. Just wanted to let you know I was back on here and ready to get at it.
Monet, I see you started the board, Thanks you, but when is Deb ever going to get back on here? Good idea on the challenges. I think we need them.
Got to get busy. Will try to check back if I get a minute. Happy New Year to everyone.
I hope you have all started off the week and the year right!!!
I weighed 122# this morning, which is what I have weighed the past few days, so I officially gained 2 #'s over the holidays. I am not complaining because I took time off from working out and I ate whatever I wanted, so it could be a whole lot worse.
I am back to the gym today, and plan to go W, F & Sat, as well.
We got our tree down as well as all the decorations; I still have to box some of them up. I will do that this evening and then get them all back out into the garage. I, like Monet, am ready to give this house a good cleaning over and get re-organized for this year.
I got a one hour massage certificate from my DH for Christmas, so I plan to go get it on Saturday after I go workout. It will be a great morning out for me.
I ran up to the outlet mall for an hour (by myself) yesterday; it was nice. I stopped in at the Levi outlet to get my DH a pair of jeans. I got myself one too. They were priced at $26.99, with 25% off (so I got them for around $20). They were a JUNIOR SIZE 3. I still cannot believe that I can fit into size 3's & 5's again - Juniors, and I am approaching my 37th birthday and have had two kids. Thanks SUGARBUSTERS!! I will let that be my new incentive to stay on-track this year. I have gone from owning not one pair of jeans 6 months ago to owning about 6 pairs now (a few are hand-me-downs).
Anyhow.....
Sebray: Happy New Year to you too. Wow, sounds like some great bargains that you found; have fun with all that new stuff. I am so not crafty! I hope your SM converts to SB; I am sure she will be healthier and happier.
Toni: Here we go.....Toni.....hang on. Let's get serious and have our best SB year yet.
Fruit: Good to see your post; hope to see you posting more. Let 2005 be the year you stick to SB and get your weight where you want it to be.
Tech: May 2005 be the year you meet your goal weight and every year after this be the years to maintain.
Monet: Thanks for starting the board. You are not inconveniencing anyone; you are doing us all a favor. Did Deb just desert the board for good? I'm sure she could check in once a week or so. GREAT Challenge!!! And, great idea to get more challenges going for awhile.
Jack: Sorry everyone was sick for Christmas, and that you ended up getting it. I would say, "congrats on a white Christmas," but I guess that's not the kind of Christmas you enjoy . Glad it is warming up a bit for you. You were doing so well with your exercise before Christmas. I hope you are feeling well enough to get back on track soon. Melted your wig???
Well, Lane wants me to play with her. She lost her playmate back to school today. She is already missing her sis.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Let's all make it a great one!
Nat
Checking in....bummer. The Wednesday before Christmas, my older daughter was in a really bad wreck, and so Thursday she asked me to come get her and take her to the doctor. Her car was totalled... So I cancelled a lunch engagement with a young woman from church to do that. Today, the young woman and I had rescheduled...and after running a few errands this morning, I came home for an hour before I had to leave to meet her. My daughter just called...her husband's truck is not running right and he is working on it. He broke a part, and has no way to get to the parts store. Will I come up and take him? (they live 45 minutes away) SO, I get to call my young friend and cancel AGAIN...its so pathetic, I laughed.
I should feel relief that the holidays are over, but instead I am feeling kind of stressed, and my stomach is burning. I actually think its from the coffee I drank, but still, I feel tense. I am trying to double up on my water, and I hope it clears up soon.
PANCHO and JACK: I have not heard from Debbie in a while. I will do whatever I can to keep the board going, since I NEED it so badly. I hope everyone else feels the same.
gotta go try and make some sense of my day... be back later
Went to work this morning...my friend Debbie from Work picked me up...made it will 10:30 a.m. and had to bust out of there. She brought me back home.
Called the Doc and I can't get in until tomorrow afternoon at 2:30p.m. The pain is so bad that is just couldn't stand it.
He wlll give me a note to be off for a while...the few days after the accident just wasn't enough...
It's **** having a new car sitting in the driveway and not able to drive it!
I'll check in a little later....time for some drugs!
I spent the whole morning driving from store to store to look for mark-down ornaments. I know I am a bit late but hoping to find some that anyway. I didn't find many that I like...oh well. I also went to another store to shop for some pantry items which are so much cheaper there but is slightly further from my house. I am pooped from the walking and driving but had a great time with Jess.
The weather is exceptionally hot since yesterday. I actually wore shorts yesterday co'z it was too hot. Today is the same so dh and I might bring dd to the park, if it is not close for the winter. Oh, today is dh's off day so I will have less time on the computer so I am hoping to do some replies while dd and dh played together now.
TONI : I can have eggs for breakfast everyday but I try to not overdo it. I just love eggs. My mom used to tease me that I should marry a man who rear chicken for eggs so I will have plenty to eat...lol. Well...good thing eggs are not so expensive...lol. I am ready to eat better too!
MONET : Thanks for starting the board again! I am supposed to take down the tree yesterday night but got lazy so tonight is the night...lol.Oh yea, I second cleaning and organizing the house as well. I have been doing it slowly so far. More cleaning to go! I am so glad your dd wasn't hurt in the wreck. Gosh, that must scared you. I am sure your lady friend will be understanding of the cancellations.
JACKIE : {{{hugs}}} Hope you are feeling much better already. I am sure 2005 will be a better year
PANCHO : You have certainly done a great job on your eating during the holidays. I am sure the 2 lbs will melt off soon. Oh, a massage sounds so nice, enjoy! It is so hard for me to find a jeans that fits me well because I am not too tall. I know I will have to check out the junior section too. Dh gave me a shopping spree as my Christmas present so I will go shopping for some jeans, pants etc. I love it!
BOB : Oh Bob, I am so sorry you are in such pain. Tomorrow is such a long wait but hope you get some relief from whatever you have on hands right now. {{hugs}}
Looks like I am caughter up on the post for now. Will check in later tonight.
Hello everyone! Still in NC. My DF's heart cath is tomorrow, so I'm hanging around until then before I head home. Hopefully I will be back in Auburn Wed.
Everyone ready to watch Auburn in the Sugar Bowl tonight--BOB--you know what to do!
Jackie--Um, how did you melt you wig??????? I hope 2005 is much better--2004 was rough for you. It's time for a good year!
Gator--You too! Here's to a hurricane-less 2005!
Bob---You three! Get that kness back in working order so you can get back into those new wheels!
Monet--Good Challenge! I hope everyone is ok with the accident and all. Sounds like you will be driving everyone--be careful!
Nat--WTG on the size 3's!!!!!! That's inspiration for the rest of us!!!!!
Toni--Protein always helps me to get the day started! But healthy carbs in the AM aren't bad either. Oatmeal in Milk (not the instant), SB-Legal cereal, or WW toast with Peanut Butter are favorites!
I got my folks and me pedometers from Target over the weekend. We all have them on today and took a short walk this AM (the oldsters need to start slowly). I got the kind that comes with a strap--they were on sale for 10.99. So far so good, I'm a little over 3,000 steps.
I hope everyone is getting off to a good start this new year!
Julia--We were posting at the same time! Have fun taking the tree down. I just got the last of my parents outside decorations down and will have to de-decorate my house when I get home!
Only a quick check in. We spent the entire weekend at the house getting wallpaper and old paneling down, etc...now after Robby gets of work in the evening, we will have to spend a couple hours each evening doing stuff so that we can move in this weekend. My eating was really terrible over the weekend. I'm sure the scale is back up a few. I see I'm not the only one,lol. It's hard to eat healthy when you're on the go for a couple of days. Lets just say I'm actually sick of Mickey D's. Today, I'm doing better. Got in 3 miles this AM(WATP), BF was 3 eggs and cheese, Snack was 1 1/2 Atkins bars(I overate), and my famous huge tuna salad with veggies, cheese, and Ranch. Supper will be 2 hamburger patties(no bread today)with veggies and mustard and ketchup on top with legal coleslaw. Well, I have to go!
Fly by...did not have to drive up to the outer limits to get that car part with Erik. He ended up borrowing a neighbor's car. Yay! So I went and had lunch with my young friend. It was lovely. We sat and talked for three hours! We went to my favorite Japanese tea room and had it all to ourselves, so its easy to stay and enjoy. I did eat some white rice, but I told myself that was ok as long as I did not have any sugar today. I am going to take this one step at a time! No sugar will be hard enough...and the white rice is not something that I deal with daily, where the sugar is always a temptation!
Ok, off to get something done! I am beginning to plan the garden for this year, as my favorite seed catalog arrived today! Woo hoo! Can't wait!
Thanks, Monet, for starting the board. You do a great job and we all appreciate it so much. Don't worry about starting it late. We are just grateful to have it started at all. I'm glad you finally got to have lunch with your friend. I hope your daughter is OK after her wreck.
Jackie, funny you should mention your wig. I was thinking about you the other day and figuring that you should bet getting some fuzz on top. So maybe the ole wig won't be needed much longer. Hope you can soon say "goodbye" to it. I sympathize about being sick. Both my DH and I were sick. In fact he barfed big time Christmas morning, and I spent some time that day washing sheets, bed spread, etc. He cleaned up the bathroom, thank goodness. He was really a mess and very sick. He is still on antibiotics, but I've finished and am on the mend. Just have a cough left to remind me of the bad week.
I am finally back to walking. Got in almost 1.5 miles this morning, but had to go pick up my mentoree and bring her here so she could type her English term paper on my computer. She doesn't have a 'puter, so I proof read her paper and did some major changes to it, and then she typed it. She still has a couple of pages to write and we hope to get it all done tomorrow so she can hand in the rough draft on Wednesday. If you want to know anything about the Code of Chivalry, just ask me!!!
Eating has been OK today. I had oatmeal for BF. Black eyed peas and collards with a little ham for lunch, a ham sandwich and a scoop of I.cream for snack , and I don't know what for dinner. I have been trying to eat lots of fiber because over the holidays I wasn't too careful about that. Maybe I'll have a salad for dinner.
BOB--It's a new year and now is the time to GET WELL!!! Get some more of that weight off and it will kick start you to new health---we hope!!!!
Susan--I'll be pulling for the Aubies. Go SEC. Right now UF has no where to go but up. They stunk up the place at the Peach Bowl, and then a couple days later our BB team lost to the Noles, which is ridiculous. The Nolies arent even good, which doesn't say much for our guys.
Anyone know where Debelli is. Has she completely given up on the board? BOB, you ever hear from Debbie?
I'm popping in to say that I stayed on plan today! YIPPEE FOR ME! It was hard though. I hope to be back on tonight to post to everyone but a friend of ours is GIVING us his $600.00 treadmill that he used 2 times so we are going to pick it up. Can you believe that? How nice!! Well, I'll be back later if I can!!
MISSY,
Glad you put your numbers under your name, I was getting ready to really give you down the road...the ticker looks like 3861~~~~~
GATOR...I don't know what to say about Debbie...she needs to get her chit together and get back on here.
I'm bout to climb up in the 4 poster and get settled in...I'll talk to y'all tomorrow!
