AFTERNOON EVERY BUDDY!!
Monday on the GULF COAST...no humidity, nice temp...only four days till the weekend!!! Kate is better, but the itching is still driving her bananas! Her poor feet are beet red! Just went to fill the predisone and she'll start that today...then another med pac after that. Surely to GAWD....this will do the trick! I on the other hand have had some kind of THROW UP THING ...I got sick late Friday night, but didn't feel bad..I was fine Saturday and Saturday night, and yesterday...then last night...BOOM...it started again and continued on..I went to work this morning and finally had to come home around noon. I don't know where it all comes from! PLEASE....keep your fingers and toes crossed that I'm ok to go to work tomorrow...I just can't lose anymore work! I don't have any time off left to be off! GATOR...{{{{{{{{{CONGRATS TO YOUR DD}}}}}}}}}}}}} I hope this is a good thing...I can't tell by your post...Sounds like they love each other though. As for me?????? I'll definately take this slow. IF...he takes the job in St Pete, that's an hour away and enough distance that we don't spend every evening together...I want to stand from afar and watch him...I know him so well that I will be able to tell if there is anything amiss... Your trip is coming up fast. Where all will y'all go while you're there? TECh....WHAT A CUTE PUPPY!!!! How old is he? He look a little big for an 8 or 9 wk old...I love this breed...They are so cute!! Cant wait to see more pictures of him...Do y'all know what you're going to name him or do you have to wait and see him? MONET...CAR TROUBLE??? Thanks for starting the BIRTHDAY BOARD!!! TONI...What's on your agenda for this week? Strawberries sound yummy! NAT...So sorry about your friends Mom... COOKIES???? CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES???? YOU GO GIRL...at least they were something good! SARAH...Still sending good thoughts for your DD...Everything will be fine, I know it just seems like a long time to have to wait! JACKIE...I was quite surprised that they didn't admit Kate...She started the predisone a little while ago... Sounds like a busy time at your house...and PIZZA????? YUM...You know I"m not going to scold you for that dish...I love it! JULIa..What kind of music class for Jess? Glad you're having some good weather. How's the pregnancy going? I've put a meatloaf in the oven, got fresh green beans on cooking and there is some squash & asparagus left from last night..I just hope I can eat some of it when it's done! BOB |
Monet--Hope the car gets fixed OK.
BOB--Re my DD's marriage plans--I'm ambivalent. I know that it is gonna be tough--especially 10 years or so from now--when she's sick of his erratic job history. That starry eyed love wears off when reality rears its head. So, I wouldn't be surprised if she had some tough times ahead, although she denies that it can happen to her. Somehow, women think that THEY are the one with just the magic touch that will CHANGE HIM. Unfortunately, people don't change, unless the change comes from within. As I said, I'm glad it's her marrying him, and not me. Hope your mom is doing better this afternoon. Teensy--How are you doing, girl? Jackie--I can't get over how much work you did! Wow, that's a ton. You really got in the exercise. Gotta go. I did my weight lifting this afternoon; went grocery shopping, and to the HFS and to Lowes, did the laundry, folded the clothes, vacuumed the house, cleaned the kitchen, and now have to get ready to go to class tonight. See ya tomorrow. |
Well, Monet is not a happy camper! Laura left for work, and soon after, I went to pick up James from work. She called on my cellphone to tell me her car died about a mile from work and she was walking the rest of the way. That screws up plans for my car to go to the mechanic tomorrow, since Tom can't drive her car to work. I know she is ecstatic about it, since she wants a new car, and thinks this will accelerate Tom's buying her one. I am just so frustrated with the car situation, I want to scream. Ok, enough of my problems.
CINDY: I love your hair cut and even though the pix were a bit dark, the highlighting looks good! Cute and sassy just in time for warm weather! BOB: I bet it was quite a surprise to have an old boyfriend show up like that. Everyone has given you good advice. It will be interesting to see if he gets that job in St. Pete. I hope Kate is doing better now that she is starting on the prednisone! (I can't take that stuff...makes me paranoid, and they have to give me Xanax to calm me down!) GATOR: Wow, you were busy today! I hope the time goes quickly for you with that French class. Are you going to be staying in the same place you did the last time you went to France for vacation? My roses are a mixed bag! A few of the old garden roses...like Zepherine Droughin and Duchesse da Brabant, are blooming. The New Dawn is just setting buds, but you can tell its going to be loaded. The Cherokee Rose, the Georgia state flower, is blooming its head off but unfortunately, the azaleas eclipse it. TONI: Have I ever asked you if you were near Fulton Missouri? I never use the AC in my car...I did not want to spend the money to fix it a few years ago when it would not cool. We were going on a long vacation in it, though, and Tom insisted! I would much rather put down the windows and let the breeze blow! PANCHO: Well, with the car problems getting worse, it looks like Tom is not going to be able to get to any plumbing tonight. He stayed after work today and did his lower body workout in the health club on their campus. It looks like I will be using James' shower another day or two! :( SARAH: Everything is going to be ok! It is a pain to have to run from doctor to doctor. When I had surgery back in October, I had to have two different surgeons...one for the hysterectomy and another for the hernia. Neither one would do liposuction on me either...the bums! JACK: I got tired just reading what all you did over the weekend! You should have seen me trying to plant those tomato plants. You would have gotten a good laugh. I just hope the neighbors did not hear all the wirty dords that came out of my mouth! :o TECH: I have never had a dog either. We always had cats. My husband would love a dog, but not anymore. He does not want the responsibility. I know if we had one, it would all be up to me to feed, bathe, etc. Thankfully, James is good about taking care of the cats needs, since over half of them are his! It sure is a cute puppy though! KENG: Well, I did not make it to the mechanic, and now the plans have changed, since Laura's car is acting up. I need to win the lottery so I can buy us all new cars! COUNTRY: :wave: I have tilapia tonight and thought of you! :) That is it for me. I need to go clean up in the kitchen, but I feel crumby and would much rather lay down! |
Hi all. Wow today it got up to the mid 80's here. I could hardly believe it. It was so nice. DD and I took one of our 1 hour walks today and it was just perfect out. My biggest temptation ...hm... Have to say pizza. I just try and avoid it. I have had it a few times. I will allow myself to indulge very rarely but every once in a blue moon. And then I limit myself to a small amount. I think the whole key is learning how NOT to overdo when you do eat something thats been a problem.
Tech- the puppy is SO cute. Im jealous :) Gatorgal- sounds like you are keeping busy with studying. I wish I had the extra gumption to do it. Jack-k- Pizza...mmm hope you ate some for me. Thats my favorite food ! Sarah- ((((hugs)))) for you and your dd Pancho- so sorry to hear about your friends grandma. Thats very stressful for all. Toni- Arent strawberries great? Weve been getting them every week. I used to never ever eat fruit or many veges before lc and I cant believe all this wonderful stuff I was missing out on. Bob- Hopefully the predizone will help her. Its some good stuff. Ive had to take it on and off for eczema/psoroisis on my hands when they've gotton so bad I cant stand it and predizone wipes it right out. Monet - sorry to hear about your car. When it rains it pours eh? Mondays menu b- mock danish, 4 bacon s- 4oz LF cottage cheese l- romaine/spinach salad with diced red pepper and brocilli and LF ranch s- 5 small radishs, 1 celery stalk d- leftover chicken -4 oz breast, steamed califlower and 4 grape tomatoes. s- 1/2 cup diced strawberries with a dab of cream |
Hey everyone!! ARGGHHH, I just want to crawl into a hole and pull this bad week in after me. But, I shall just move on instead, accept what horrible things the scale says Wednesday, and know that I'm back on track. On the plus side, I had a great time at the pool Friday,my cleaning lady came and my house looks decent again AND a very sweet and sexy boy from Canada called me today out of the blue.
MONET: I'm sorry to hear about your car. I hope you have mechanics that you can trust? I don't know what I'd do without mine, they rock! Congrats on being made board monitor! Is it okay to ask what happened to Deb, or is that not discussed? Ladies, I'll be back later tonight probably. I just wanted to check in and let you know I was alive:) |
ARCAYNE: Deb kind of dropped off the board when her son was getting ready to graduate from high school and head off to college, then the hurricanes hit Florida and she was doing all kinds of work for her mother, who had major damage to an apartment building she owned, then Deb's computer was on the fritz. All that has been over a year and Suzanne asked me to take over, since they have not heard from Deb about when, if ever, she was coming back. The board really needed a moderator to keep things tidy and organized, so here I am! :) There are no hard feelings, or anything, I hope. We all miss her, and if she comes back, that would be great, but in the meantime, I am now considered officially the mod, whereas before I was just acting like one! ;) I am glad you are back on track this week. We missed you! I was getting ready to send out the posse to see where you were!

Hello ladies---
Sorry but this will be just another fly by.....spent all day (and I do mean all day!) in town today with my Mom as she wanted to buy a new car. This is such a long and drawn out process. She wanted to buy a midsize SUV. She is a tall woman and wanted something that was easy for her to get in and out of, plus something that would be easy for my Grandmother to get in and out of also. (Grandma is not tall, rather short as a matter of fact!) So we started at the first dealer that was along our road into town and proceded to hit them all. She finally found a 2004 Chevy Blazer that only had 15,000 miles on it and liked it over the new ones she looked at. So.......then the mountains of paper work......then it hit her that she was getting rid of the last car that my Dad bought, so the tears started.....first hers then mine. Poor dh didn't know what to do with two blubbering women, lol. But, she is happy now and we will pick it up on Thursday when I go into town for a Dr appointment. She is having undercoating and some other stuff added to it. I am sorry that I am just too pooped to get in any replies tonight. Eating over the weekend sucked.......SIL made cheesecake tarts for my Mom's birthday!! So will see everyone sometime tomorrow after shampooing carpets and upholstery. Night, night. |
Hey, guys...my mom's coming over for a haircut, so I have to make this really quick!!
:dancer: CHECK OUT MY TICKERS!!! :dancer: I've been very, very good for about 4-5 days...very strict and exercising moderately and drinking loads of water...and here are the results...maybe I'll be able to take it down one more for WIW?! I'll check back later in between haircuts and 11am doctor's appointments!! Kris |

Good Morning! This is going to be a short post, since my DSL was not working properly, and I finally got James to reset it, but now its late and I have things to do! The weather is gorgeous here...warm, sunny, with a slight breeze. I hope it doesn't get as hot as yesterday, since I was miserable! I think something I ate is causing me to retain fluids. My guess is salami?? Nothing else was very salty, or suspect. I hopped on the metal monster to check things out and just as I suspected, I was up-- 4 pounds! Its water, and I want to get rid of it and some more of its little friends, but it looks like WIW is not going to be a good one for me.
Right now, I am waiting on James to get ready to go to work, and I am getting irritated. I am not going to have any time to run errands because he is so late. I will check in later... Here is my menu so far: Breakfast: 3 eggs, 1 piece toast, water to drink :wave: |
Just a little thought...I picked up a 5 lb bag of potatoes the other day and thought it was really heavy. Then I picked up THREE of them and thought...that's how much weight I've lost!! :eek: I can't believe I was carrying around all that weight, up and down stairs, etc. Wow. It really brings it all home!! No wonder I can trot up the stairs a lot faster than I used to!!
Sebray: Don't know how you do it!! I'd fall asleep face first in my text book...or whatever you had you were working on!! :lol: Teensy: I'm nearly 40 years old and I've gone car shopping exactly three times!! Since it's only about a once-every-ten-years-or-so thing for me, I LOVE car shopping!! Its soo exciting!! I got my 1984 Dodge Charger when I was 17 in 1983...fresh off the showroom floor...had my first hairdressing job and dad said...you're not driving MY car to work, so he co-signed my loan. Then in 1991 I got my 1991 Dodge Daytona with maroon velour seats and sparkly maroon paint (dark cherry was the official color) and a factory installed cassette player, which was my DREAM, instead of some cheap thing that was hacked into the dashboard by whatever boyfriend. Then in 2001 I got my 1998 purple mini van and have had it ever since. It was a real drama for me to go from my sporty hatchback to a mom-mobile, but once I got over it, I LOVE my minivan!! But I can't wait to buy something new someday, too...I think I'd like an SUV, too...solely to tork off the extremely liberal neighbor of mine that also drives an SUV, but complains how everyone drives SUV's... :lol: she's funny :lol: . Arcayne, dahling...you don't know how bad my husband wants me to do what you do for a living...he'd love for me to be working along while ironing or sewing curtains for the kids bedrooms and making a ton of money over the phone :eek: . I think I'd be so embarassed, my face would bleed from blushing so hard :lol: . We'll be waiting here on the wagon for you when you're ready to jump on board!! Cindy...we're having nice, warm weather here, too!! It's soo nice finally!! Gator: I feel for you with your daughter. Man, oh man, do I feel for ya...because I was once in your daughter's shoes with MY daughter's father. Let's just say he's a musician...and you know how your brain has two halves..one to be creative and one to balance the checkbook? Well, his creative side ATE the other side and now the whole brain is just plain creative. He's a great guy, but let's just say that we haven't seen him in over five years...I had a baby to raise and didn't need to raise a man in his thirties (at the time) that refused to work for fear of 'selling out' of his music 'career'. Which meant he slept all day, stayed up all night in the basement practicing his guitar and smoking pot. Last I knew he was on welfare and apparently waiting for Jimmi Hendrix's soul to be reincarnated into his body and/or for Carlos Santana to hire him in to play guitar on the road with him. You know...like...okay, sure... :dizzy: Let's hope your daughter has a happier ending than I did...you'll all be in my thoughts and prayers!! BOB: :grouphug: Man, I hope you start feeling better, soon. If anyone deserves to have a really awesome, healthy day in the sunshine, it's you !! GET BETTER!! Monet: Car problems seem to be having the domino effect on you!! You poor soul...I can't STAND the mechanics...I won't get into it again...but I think you need a :grouphug:, too!! Toni: Your yard sounds simply divine...it's so nice when those perrenials start to sprout!! Pancho...prayers for your friend's family!! That darn cancer thing seems to be effecting everyone's family these days!! And isn't it just like a batch of homemade chocolate chipperoos to send you into a whirlpool of cheating madness!! :lol: Not the end of the world...last week, I was in the bad stuff mode, as well, and now I'm down two pounds after a couple days of being very stringent!! Dust off and get back on the wagon, Chicka!! I THINK that's mostly everyone...DH is off to Ohio, near Cincinatti? to get Junior. He's only 9 weeks old (well close to 10 now) and already weighs something lieke 25 pounds!! Big breed, that's for sure, but I'm really excited to meet him. My mom almost sounds mad at me for getting a dog and breaking out of the 'cat person' persona. She's like "What are you gonna do with it?" and I'm like, "Um...the same thing I do with my cat?" She just isn't a dog person...she'll just have to get used to it...Junior will be home tomorrow night late...DH has a 9 hour drive one way to get to Cincinnati from here and is leaving after he's done with work today and took tomorrow off. Poor guy...but this was HIS idea..not mine!! :lol: Okay...have to go to Watertown...talk with you guys later Kris |
Good morning everyone!
We got up realy early this morning..my DA (aunt) had (is having) a total knee replacement at 10am (it is 10:02 right now...hopefully they started on time) and my DM is going to be there with her to wait in the waiting room...how fun...I would be there too..but, I have two little ones that would make it a circus..haha!! So, I have my DD an appt on Thursday with the surgeon..however, he is out of our network..crazy?? I want to see if there is another really good doctor that is in our network..we have UHC and that is good insurance.. Our neighbor took my DS to school and my DD and I have already been to the store and back...so, I am making headway today..even though I have to work (wahh!) Last night was a killer at work...they up and changed everything and only told a couple of people to tell all of us...a huge procedural change. See, you can wonder about your insurance claim adjusters...we are all disgruntled!...and, we have to still be nice to customers..haha!!! Monet...sorry to hear about the cars...doesn't it always work that way though?? never fails..when you want something to be done, something else always happens to get in the way. Sebray...I give you lots of credit to go to school and have to go through the exams...papers etc. I miss classes..but, I don't know if I would want to do all the extra work... Kris...I am really hoping you make your goals..I saw your ticker and it looks good!!! I would like to change mine sometime, maybe this week I will face the scale?? ARGH! Eating last night wasn't wonderful. I marinated the chicken before work..thinking my DM and DF would make it...well, they ordered pizza because my DA and DGM came over to see the kids...before DAs surgery today. So, after work, I came by my DMs house and had some pizza..mostly toppings though..and not much. I held back. Today has been 2 over medium eggs and that is it...so far...not hungry. I think I will make a huge salad for lunch. Talk to you all later. I will try to check in at work..but, if we are slammed it may not be an option...lol! -sarah- |
Sebray--Good luck on your classes and exams. I noticed that your goal weight and mine are exactly the same. I have 50 pounds to go. We’ll have to keep each other going till we reach goal. :)
Teensy--That was so nice of you to help your mom. Arcayne--Congrats on the 20 pound loss. Keep going, kiddo, you can make it. Kris--That’s so great about the 2 pound loss. You are doing fabulously. Way to go. :cheer: I got in 15190 steps yesterday. I did my 2 mile walk in the morning, and I guess I had so much running around to do that that is how I got in all those other steps. I've already done my 2 miles this morning and will park off campus today and walk the mile to class, so that will give me 2 more miles. I have my conversational class at the French Alliance tonight, so will be really "french-fried" today. Sebray--I noticed that you are taking or will be taking French. What level are you? Eating yesterday was weird: B: Shredded wheat 'n bran with 1/2 banana and skim milk L: 2 slices SGWW bread with 1 T lo cal mayo and 4 oz. lean roast beef Snack: :( about 1 oz. sesame sticks and a handful of sunflower seeds Dinner: 1 cup black bean soup and a small bowl of shredded wheat 'n bran with 1/2 banana and skim milk. I don't see any veggies and not much fruit. Bad. I need to change that. Gotta get those green veggies and bright orange and yellow veggies. I know they are good for my health. Today so far--breakfast was the same as yesterday--shredded wheat. My DH made fresh vegetable juice so maybe that will be my lunch. Gotta get in a salad somewhere. Have a great SB day everyone. |
Good Tuesday Morning!
Morning all!
It is soooo gorgeous here! We've finally had a week of beautiful weather. It's still on the coolish side though, but I'm not really happy till the temo hits 90!:D Eating has been going well. Some days its a struggle to eat all my points--but they say to eat them so I'm going to until they tell me to stop. It seems to be working so far, so who am I to argue? I don't think I can do responses to everyone, but I'll get started and go as far as I can. Gator--I'm leaving two weeks from today (May 3rd). We fly to Rome and have three days there, a week in Tuscany, two days in Venice and Milan and fly home on the 17th. I know you are looking forward to your trip as much as I'm looking forward to mine! Great work on getting all the steps in yesterday! Sarah--I've still got your DD in my prayers! Don't sweat the pizza, as long as you don't overdo it and get right back--it probably won't even show. Tech--it sounds like you have the same car philosophy I do. I'm 46 and just bought my 4th car last November. I say drive'em till they drop! Isn't it amazing how much extra weight we lug around? Monet--I say get Monet a new car and give Laura yours! Heck since you end up hauling everyone around, you should have the most reliable vehicle! Sebray--I know what you mean--somehow I missed Monday too!:o Teensy--Your car shopping sounds bittersweet. . . I hope your DM will be happy with her new car. Arcaye--I was wondering where you were. You know none of us are perfect so don't worry about coming back here! We love you and will help you do this!!!!! Cindy, BOB, NAT, Jackie--and everyone else--HEY! Hmmm my biggest temptation, there are so many . . I guess it is pizza because sometimes I get a craving and I will eat an entire pie all by my self! The best way to deal is to make a pizza on WW pita. It seems to fill the need for me. Have a great OP day everyone! Susan |
Argh....I am way behind in catching up again :( I better get started now...lol. Jess is at school today until 2pm as she wanted to stay later to have lunch with her friends. It sure feel strange when she is not around yakking my ears off...lol.
I am waiting for my brown rice to cook and also marinating my salmon as well so thought I come here to do some catching up before it's time to do the real cooking. My menu today : Breakfast : Before taking Jess to school, I had 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 of banana to keep my blood sugar from getting too low. After sending her to school, I had 1 ww waffle with Agave and 1 fried egg. Snack : The leftover banana and some nuts. I might have 1/2 cup of milk while waiting for lunch to get ready. Lunch : Baked salmon in ginger dressing, roasted marinated broccoli and brown rice pilaf. Snack : Some grapes, nuts and 1/2 cup of milk. Dinner : Leftover lasagna and mixed green salad. Some replies : TECH : Cute little puppy you have there. Jess would love to have all kind of animals if I allow her...lol but I know someday she will have her own pet when she can take care of it. I have enough on my hands for now :) GATOR : Glad to see you and thanks for keeping us updated on how you are doing. Wow...you sure have a lot on your hands, take it easy :) JACK : Reading your post made me tired. That was a lot of work in one day...at least for me...lol. Washing one car is enough to wear me out..lol. SARAH : I am so sorry what your dd has to go thru. After reading your post, I did some research about hernia. I had no idea what it was until now. No matter how much you know your dd will be okay but I know you will worry. That's just the way mothers are :) I will pray for your dd and that she will be in good hands on some wonderful drs :) PANCHO : I am so sorry to hear about your friend's grandma who is diagnosed with cancer. Cancer is never a word that is easy to hear. My prayers go out the family concern. TONI : Spring is so beautiful isn't it? I bet your yard looks so awesome. Can you believe that I have yet to eat any strawberry since Spring arrived? I need to get some soon. Got to go...will continue later. Julia |
