Jen - that's very smart - good for you! :)

Meowee - good lord, can your week get ANY worse?! Thinking of you :hug: Good luck with the plumber!!

Right all - feeling quite pleased with myself - went for a hike to Hilton Falls; hadn't been there before - very pretty and not too strenuous. BUT... <insert ominous music here> the BLACK FLIES!!! URGH!!!! The good thing was... I walked VERY fast - LOL! :D

So, got in some exercise, and still have a 1000 calories left for dinner - yay! Going to treat myself to making Red Thai Curry - with chicken and red pepper and jasmine rice and half a naan bread - mmmm!

See you all tomorrow!

Heather :D

It is supposed to get nicer here finally by the weekend it is caliing for 24 on saturday FINALLY!!!!

Good Afternoon, All!

Jen - Those are some cakes! I'd just sit down with a fork and eat the WHOLE thing!

Lots and lots of rain here in MA, too, although it just stopped, and the sun is trying to come out. It's supposed to be really warm and sunny later in the week -- perfect "walking" weather! We finish school on Friday - always an emotional time, as my Pre-Kindergarten kids are off to Kindergarten in the Fall! sniff!

Well, I'm in the middle of clearing out old clothes and such, and watching the Detroit-Anaheim game. If I get the good weather first, I promise to try and send some of it North!

Heather: Awesome job on the exercising! i hate black flies too...thankfully they aren't out around here yet..but I dont walk much when they are (I'm allergic and I live in the country...lol)

It was a cloudy cool bleak day here but DH and I went for a 31k bike ride anyways, by mid afternoon it started to rain... Not much else to report, same ole, same ole...

Hey all - guess what? I finally (!!!) got my bike out of the basement and tuned up and got out - I REALLY DID! :D I finally stopped SAYING I would do it, and I DID IT!

Okay, so I only biked for about ten minutes, but I got out there! Yay me!! :D

Okay - just thought I'd tell ya'll... now your job is to tell me 'Hey Heather - it's NOT raining - why don't you BIKE to the store and buy some salad!!" hahahaha Oh dear, the endorphins have gone to my head...!

Hi everybody . . . :hug:

It rained less today :) , but it is still cold and dull. Temp made a high of 7. :( Still have the plumbing problem -- hope the plumber turns up tomorrow -- you should never be allowed to have problems on a holiday weekend if you live in a small town. :o

Today, one of my ex-employees (before I retired employees) was at work (silly boy) and whining for assistance so that kept me kind of busy and gave me something else to think about besides the water and weather situations. ;)

Other than that . . . nothing new. Have a great moving and shaking evening everybody (get out there and pedal, Heather) . . . see you soon.:carrot:

Allo everyone !!!

i worked all weekend and am off tues and wed . i also get weighed tues at around lunch time. i really do not want to go because i know i have not been that bad but also know that i have not been that good. well i will let you all know how everything went tomorrow.

Please send me some luck and courage ; i guess maybe not luck , since luck has nothing to do with weight loss, but courage so i will actually go and step on that gosh awful scale. :shrug:

Good night everyone .

annette

Allô Annette --- Courage :hug:s ?? Is that the same? Hope so, here are some more :hug: :hug:

It is sunny thank goodness! It is supposed to be sunny all week :yay:

Allo everyone,

So i was weighed this afternoon and as i thought no good news this week either. I actually gained almost 1 lbs. :( I feel so defeated .

I am sorry i do not sound more enthusiastic today but I just feel crappy.
I hope to find the energy and willpower i need this week to stay on track .
At least i can take comfort in the nice weather we are having today and tomorrow too i guess , not to mention i am off these two days .

Thanks for the hugs Ilene they are much needed at this time .

I hope everyone is having a great week !!! :flow2:

Good Evening, All!

What a day today was! The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the flowers were blooming -- AHHHH, SPRING! (Oh, and did I mention that the last day of school is Friday??). :sunny:

Annette - It is so frustrating when you don't lose anything, and sometimes actually GAIN some back! :yikes: And then there are those rare, special occasions when you jump on the scale and - surprise! - you've lost more than you expected! :goodscale Just remember -- you're getting healthy (healthier), AND there are lots of Funky Chickies here to keep you going! :grouphug:

Hey, it's almost midnight! I'd better get off to bed before I turn into a pumpkin (hey, no "pumkin" jokes! :rofl:

Em

Jen - I really like your posts -- it looks like a Broadway show!

Going for a hugewalk toady DD1 has to get her teeth and retainer checked so we are gonna walk there. I live uptown almost out of city limit (literaly the next street over is out of the city but we are not) and we are gonna walk into downtown to her appointment then the bank then out for supper (if DD3 is feeling better) then to the grocerie store then home. We will all be glad to see our beds tonight. all of this pushing my double stioller with 65 pounds of little ones and thier "stuff".

Hi gang . . . :wave: . . . :hug:

Just a quick little hello to everybody. Don't know where the day has gotten to. At least nothing else has broken down today (at least not that I've discovered yet :( ). Went to the optometrist and ordered new glasses today . . .yippee . . . soon I should be able to see properly again. Another yippee . . . Finally got weighed after my 4 week abstinence and got to move my ticker 3.2 pounds further east. Not much for almost a month, but lots better than watching it go up and down . . . happens to all of us, I know. ;)

Have a great evening, gang . . . keep things moving and shaking and I'll see you again really soon . . . :carrot:

Hooray for Meowee !!! :flow1:

that is awesome that you lost over the last 4weeks . :bravo:
you must feel great!
