Good morning!
Susan- glad your girls liked the HH...the teen group puts that on every year, and from what I hear, they REALLY get into it!..DH took the kids to the fall festival last night, but James didn't think he was quite up to the HH. He heard there "was some guy chasing people around with a chain saw" made him a little nervous :D Kids did crafts and bobbing for donuts, etc. Hey - there's going to be trick or treating in the Village this year...fyi..think it starts at 3:30... we might go round 4ish..gl w/ weigh in...I bet it's a good one, you've had a good week from the sound of things. Jules - LOVE the avatar! The tattoo looks great! Hope it stays that way after the babe pops out. Teri a young' un and they all get their tummies back don't they? Sassy - hope your back is feeling better...watch out for those comfy chairs...get a laptop and a remote and you'll never get up again, lol! Cristina - I know you are having a great time w/ Josh so Hi to you when you get a chance to check in. Sent you a pm. I caught the last half of NIA yesterday and stayed on to take the cardio salsa class. Felt good to get back in the groove, so to speak. While I haven't slacked off on exercise, I haven't been pushing it either. It's nice to get a good sweat! Food was ok, I had some baguette w/ butter which is not on the program, but it tasted really good! Then baked up a piece of cod for dinner and called it good. I kept my mitts out of the kids' goody bags and didn't eat any of the cakewalk cake they won at the carnival. Yes, there was a carnival and a fall festival this weekend...and DS went to a Halloween party and a birthday party! Somewhere in there there was a soccer game as well. We bailed on the second soccer game - No mas! Now I have to gear up for DD's bday on 10/31, which means cleaning the house. oh joy. Now you know what I am doing for the next two days! OK - kids are up - gotta go. Have a good one, ladies! |
Hola Chicka's!!!:chicken:
How come we only have a rooster? Wassup with that? Katy- Cardio salsa class sounds like fun! I love dancing with the stars and reading how they all lose weight with dancing. I was planning on the village this Halloween and was going to take Gab to a church for indoor activities later that evening. Her father wants to take her to Gladstone to trick or treat his fathers but seems too far to me. We'll see. Did you make L's costume?? Sounds cute!! It has been kind of a cloundy morning. Not weatherwise, brainwise - lol. Rach has been staying with me for the past week and it has been difficult to adjust too. Half the time I am tracking her down and the other half listening to her whine.This morning she did manage to get to school, thank goodness. Her father called on her cell and the cost to replace is $240. Ummm, she will have to do without - ha. Weigh In :goodscale and woo hoo to 169 I am so pleased with that pound!!! Gads, took forever. Cristina -:celebrate::celebrate: Hope Josh and family is having an awesome homecoming!! Thinking of you all :) Better get. I have to get serious about job hunting with 8 weeks to go until I have to file unemployment. You all have a GREAT day!! |
Hello ladies...
Man, is this computer slow today...don't know if it's the computer or the site. Has taken me 30 mns at least to sign in, answer a pm and read this thread, yikes! SUSAN...silly woman. I am far from being a saint missy, lol! I just love my kids A LOT and would do anything for them. Even when I get mad it's not for very long. WTG on you reaching 169! :bravo: :woohoo: And good job on the walking and yardwork. Will R & R be dressing up for Halloween? KATY...jealous of all the carnivals and such. Guess I don't notice much of that going on here with not having kids in school. Shoot, I don't even know if they have any...you would think they would say in the paper. I know they have some trick or treat things for the kids to keep them off the streets. Guess I could just show up without kids, lol! They would think I lost my mind, lol. WTG on the exercise! You were one busy momma this weekend! HIYA JULES & SASSY...hope you ladies are well. Josh did make it home, woohoo! It was so good seeing him at the airport. This time he looks more healthy...he's been lifting weights. He's not muscular but looks better. Last time he was home he was on the skinny side...never had seen him that skinny before. He was happy to get home too! He's sleeping now, like a baby, ahhhh. He was up all night because he couldn't sleep so finally layed down and was out. Just hope he's not up all night again. Did get in a 3 mile walk in the neighborhood. It was cold this morning so I waited until 11...it was the perfect temp. It is so nice out...love the 70's! That's about all I have...nothing else going on. Was going to take Josh to the mall to get some clothes since he has nothing but shorts. It was nice to me yesterday but since arriving he has been cold. Guess we will do that tomorrow. Anywho... Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :hug: |
Hola Cristina!!
Great that Josh is finally home! :carrot: Is he stationed in Hawaii still?? I managed 2 miles today. I also have a sore arm from yesterdays raking, pulled muscle?? Old age has finally arrived! I use to get out there and work for hours in the yard. I think it is the site, takes forever to get around....and you click on something and get all the way kicked out and have to start over again. :?: Becky is going to be Wilma (to her boyfriends Fred) and Rach wants to be a *lutty cleopatra............hoped I spelled that right. Anyway, it was cute the way she asked for that but the answer was no. I am going as a scary mom.....haha..... k- adios again! Making meat loaf for dinner and just want to spend some quite time with Gaby. We had fun playing I-Spy last night. I taught her to say "Susan, do you have a duck?"...and I say "Why, no I don't Gaby,,,,go fish".....hmmm, it was cute. |
Settle in.......Its gonna be a long one! lol!
Hi Ladies. :wave:
Only one more day after today (Tues.) its :bat: Halloween :witch:. My back feels better, still kinda achy, but just think that its the weather changing, it got down to freezing lastnight and its pretty close now! 37 (F)! My night/morning at work (so far) has been pretty good, pretty steady so it has went fast, so far anyways. lol. I was in a terrible mood though before work today. Just one of those days where did not want to get up and get moving. lol. But once I did I was okay. lol. Cristina -- :woohoo: Glad Josh is home! :congrat: Suzy Q --- WTG Girlie! :carrot: Katy Did (Got that From the Movie, Mermaids :p) -- Cardio Salsa! Woooo Muy Calente' lol. ;) Ya know I seen this ad on tv for a program called "hip hop abs" looks interesting but dunno if I am coordinated enough to do it! :dizzy: lol. Yeah maybe it was a mistake to get the comfy chairs! Maybe we should have just gotten rid of the furniture period and bought exercise equipment! Imagaine that coming into my living room, no chairs, no sofas, just exercise equipment.......Hmmmmm......lol!!!! Hi Sue, Michelle, Jules, and anybody else out there I may have forgotten!!!! :wave: My DH came and brought me some hard candies I've been wanting. Just a few, not a lot. ;) I had a thought. (I know scary, right?) I think I'm going to begin making my own low-fat/low cal healthy meals on my nights off and freezing them. I was gonna start buying those healthy frozen meals, but thought I could do a much better job. :) Can I ask you all a few questions concerning food, if you don't mind? I probably have asked before, so forgive my absentmindness. :dizzy: What are you favorite quick n' healthy meals to make? Snacks? Desserts (Low Cal/Low Fat/Low Sugar) Also a good friend of mine made some home-made Spanish Rice for my DH, Spanish Rice is my absolute favorite. But how can I make it healthier? Brown Rice? Any tips, recipes, etc, would be greatly appreciated!!!! :D Thanks Ladies, yes once again dear Sassy is gonna try to do better. (I'm not giving up!!!!) :carrot: I had another thought too. (I know amazing!!! Two Thoughts in a ROW!) :woohoo: I am going to try my hand at really giving it my 110%, yes once again at losing weight and see how it goes. My goal is to lose 50 lbs by Spring! I don't think that is too high of a goal, or do you think its too low??? I would love to lose more than that of course!!! lol. I want to do better and succeed this time. I refuse to give up. I know I could and should be a "skinny minnie" by now, but the main thing is I do not give up and keep getting up when I "fall" and by coming here and getting your all's support, I can't give up, its impossible! Plus I think you all would be at my door if I did! LOL!!! (:love: ya all) Anywho there it is, my "plan". Maybe that is why I have failed before, I didn't have a specific enough plan? I dunno. Anyways. I want to succeed this time. I honestly and truly do! So please pray, cross your fingers, toes and eyes for me that this time I succeed!!!! :^: Thanks for listening to me "ramble"!!!!! BIG BIG BIG :hug: |
Hey chicas....
Darn it Susan you're right...here's the closest thing I found to a chickie :egg:..then there's these little guys :thanks2: but that's really stretching the definition..oh I just kind of liked this one :tied: Supposed to be "tonguetied", but I think it looks like "I puked". We need a Chickie emoticon for the 3FC site, don't we? let's start a petition! Hey - congrats on 169..I knew you'd do it! Cristina..Glad Josh made it home safe and sound..have a great visit! I don't know if any of you have tried this for slow loading problems, but I downloaded and installed Firefox recently and it is way faster than internet explorer. I use it for this site in particular, and it is much much faster and smoother than before. If you google Mozilla Firefox, you'll find it and it's FREE! It's not going to mess up your computer. It's loaded on all the computers in my son's lab at his school. It will only become your default browser if you select it. I pinned it to my "Start" menu and I just select it instead of internet when I want to use it. Sassy - we are all here for you! Yeah, switching to brown rice will be more nutritious than white, but it won't cut any calories. I like to cook up about 6 or so cups of brown rice and reheat it throughout the week with different dishes. This also works with bulghur and quinoa, which are whole grains that are very healthy. They are prepared the same way as rice, have about the same calories. If you have a little bit of one of these, then some lean meat and a big salad, there's your quick healthy meal. I cook up a roast or a chicken and eat of it for several days this way. You haven't failed...every time you try you are learning something about yourself and what you need to do to be healthy...it takes a long time to learn these things and our culture does not make it easy. You will do what you need to do and don't forget that! We are all here to cheer you on! Enough of my :soap:. I have so much time to post today because Leigh is home sick AGAIN with strep AGAIN. And tomorrow is her birthday, so we are crossing our fingers that she will be well enough to go to school for the class party. I told her that if she has to stay home that we will open her presents in the morning. She seemed to be okay with that. She won't be contagious by tomorrow, but if her tonsils are still huge, I'm keeping her at home. I still need to get the house whipped into shape 'cause the GPs are coming, sick or not, and I STILL haven't carved these darn pumpkins. Yeesh. Glad I went to yoga this morning, I'll just breathe through everything! |
Aloha Chicka,Chicka Boom,Booms!!:egg:(pssst, yes I have been reading the book over and over again to Gaby)
Katy - So, right lady....woo hoo. I can't believe you found some chickies :) :hug: to Little L on her strip. Cross fingers Gab hasn't been sick yet this school year. Thank you soooooo much on the 169 - I weighed again this morning just to see it again. What a relief!!!!! I think I will stick to bagels only on Saturday....maybe that'll help?? Sassy- hmmm, I love red vines when I want something sweet. I don't really have a sweet tooth though. I have more of a carb tooth. I love low fat cottage cheese mixed with salsa as a dip along w/ some corn chips. I love white rice! If someone can make brown rice taste good let me know. My mom used to mix brown rice with hamburger,carrots and onions...that tasted pretty good. Hugs to you!! Hope you are feeling better. I was reading a weight loss story yesterday and the lady didn't lose weight for 6 months - it made me more determined to stick with it and not get so frustrated. So, I guess my tidbit would be to read a lot on the site of others success, it can sure motivate :) If you want to read the story it is in the Goals under Amanda's Goal Story.....133 pounds....something like that. Awesome story! So, I am on the fly!! Watched my favorite bachelor last night and I made my decision that he should fall in love with Deanna.....:o lol Taking Gab to a dental appt this afternoon so best get some errrands done. Quick non weight ??? Gab's father has been calling every night to say good night and I finally asked him to pick a night to call. Seems too much for me....think that is wrong??? |
Hello ladies...
SASSY...can't wait until tomorrow! Glad your back is better and WTG for not giving up! WE can do this together missy! We are here for you, just remember that. SUSAN...hah, love the costumes, especially Fred and Wilma. I never can think of anything creative but have known lots of people who could, lol. Hey, depending on how *lutty the cleopatra is I think it's kind of a cute idea...but then cleopatra is a good idea period. I too am going as an scary mom, more like a grouchy mom, lol! Josh is still stationed in Hawaii, think he will stay there even if he re-signs. I asked him what he will do after he gets out, or is he thinking about re-signing he said he was. I think he likes the traveling and seeing the world. On their way home from Iraq they stopped in Germany and when they took off the plane was having problems so ended up in Alaska for 2 days...he was rubbing it in because he knows I am wanting to go. he said it was beautiful! KATY...sorry to hear about little L, darn I hope she feels better by tomorrow. Poor little thing, strep again. Hugs to her :hug: Thanks for the advice...I will try the firefox tomorrow. It's only this site that is so slow...started out the same today but now that I am getting off it is better, lol. Hello to SUE, JULES, MICHELLE & CAROL & KATHY and anyone I missed, and anyone reading this, lol. Nothing much going on...had some errands to run this morning. Need to call the dentist but I am being stubborn and a BIG chicken! I have had this toothache for a while now...know I need to go. Been a crappy day because of it. Did get my 2 mile WATP done and mowed the back and front yard. Now just getting some laundry done. That's about all I have...take care ladies. Chat with ya tomorrow :wave: |
Hi Chicks!
Hi Chicks. :chicken:
Today is a much better day, at least getting up I was not the bear I was yesterday. lol. Guess I'm back into "my work groove" I put my hair up today, its actually grown out enough to put it up! :D Feel good for some reason (knocking on wood here) I think its cuz I ate kinda light today before work. I just had one of those Wendy's Chunky Chicken Salad Frescata Sandwiches. Thats all. No fries and no Biggie soda. I did get a 20 oz. Mt. Dew though, it will probably last me half the night though. (I work 13 hrs) I just looked and the Frescata Sandwich has 460 Calories! Holy Moly! And that is supposed to be "healthy"? They don't make it with Mayo, but use a "Ranch Sauce" and it has bacon in it. Love how they hide those little things. But its much better than the "Baconator" which is 830 Calories!!! :faint: My Total Calories so far is 735, if I finish my Mt. Dew. Love how the Mt. Dew has 110 Calories on it, but that is only for 8 oz. So 8 x 2 = 16 + 4 = 20 so do the math and it should be 220 + 55 = 275 Calories Total in a 20 oz Mt. Dew. :no: Pathetic. I would be better off with Water, which has a Big Fat 0. Only I need the Caffenine. Piddly Excuse I know. lol. Plus I don't like Diet Guess I should start getting used to it though. I have to have Caffenine while I'm working. Sorry, but I gotta working the hours I do, I just have to have it. Yes I know I shouldn't rely on caffenine and all, but can't help it. :( Anywho..........sorry to ramble, again. lol. Katy sorry to hear about Leigh, Strep Throat UGH nasty stuff. We had that going around work, luckily DH & I didn't get it. I also use Firefox, at least at home, I love it, I also use Thunderbird, which is their version of Outlook, MUCH MUCH better! ;) Cristina -- Big :hug: I hope you get your nerve up and go to the Dentist. I can sympathize with you because I have Dr. Phobias after a very very bad exp. TY ALL for your support and advice. :hug: TTYL. Big :hug: |
:bat: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!! :witch: :dracula::ghost::badbat::sklol::frank::witch2: :spid: :haphal: |
My heart is breaking. I thought the baby was getting Teri back on track with school and the future. Well, Dave has decided at 25 he needs to go back to school, since he cannot find and job and is not willing to even apply for one he considers boring. He has picked a school near Philadelphia which is about 3 hours away and he can start in March. Teri has decided to follow him. I asked what about school and she says she is going to finish but I don't see him working even part time while he's going to school so it will be all up to her and where does that leave the baby?? There are no family and friends there to help out. I really don't know what she thinking. There is a school in MD about an hour away. That would allow them to stay in the area with friends an relatives plus her to finish her school. I don't know what to do.

Hello Ghouls!
JULES...so sorry to hear this news...and just when things seemed to be going well for Teri. Maybe you can talk to them both and change his mind, ugh. Hugs to you :hug: :hug: SASSY...glad you are doing well and in a chipper mood! :) Yeah, some of those sandwiches at fast food places can be deceiving. Even the salads...when you add all the extras they add up in calories so what is supposed to be healthy ends up being fat and calorie laden. Ya just gotta be careful with what you choose. And yes, water would be better but like you I too need my caffeine, lol! But I do get in my 8 glasses on most days. Sometimes more...I really dislike water but know the benefits of drinking it so I do. I've not gotten my nerve up...just gotta suck it up and go, or at least make the appt. to go which is what I will be doing when I get off here before heading out. Hope you have a GREAT day! HIYA to KATY, SUSAN, KATHY, MICHELLE, & SUE! Getting ready to go get Josh up...he is on this weird schedule, well, not so weird. Just staying up most of the night and then sleeping thru the day...hate to wake him up but if I don't he won't get anything done. We are going to go to the mall and get home some pants and who knows what else. He will see stuff and just start grabbing, lol. Then to get him some glasses and somewhere else, can't remember. I know he needs to change his license and a couple of other things but he has time. May do lunch as well...I can't eat much so it doesn't matter where he wants to go, lol. I am calling the dentist as soon as I get off this thing. I can't go much longer with this. Don't know when I will get any exercise in, will walk at least a mile on the treadmill before the day is over. Of course walking at the mall is exercise. Anyway... HAPPY HALLOWEEN, LADIES! |
:cheer2: HAPPY 6th
BIRTHDAY TO LEIGH!!!!!:bday2you::gift::balloons::woo::bday2:Wishing her a wonderful day and pray she is feeling better!! |
:dracula::ghost::frank::witch2:HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! :badbat::bat::witch::sklol::haphal::spid:
Cristina - Cute, you sound like a typical mother - lol. I really think the more you want him to get up and get things done the more he is going to snooze. :D The service is a good deal and all the travel Josh gets to do - it's exciting .....of course it can come at a high price.That is the stressful part. THANK YOU so much for the snail mail!! Very sweet and when I saw you had a card for my sister I started tearing up. What a sweetie you are! Hope your tooth is not hurting too much! Sassy :dizzy: Say that again about the Mt Dew?? lol....lost me somewhere. I love Wendy's chili as a take out kind of thing. Jules - :hug::hug: I'm sorry about Teri and her perhapes moving away.There is still time for her to change her mind :hug: I know it must be hard. My Rach is making ill decisions these days and probably will end up out of school. Drives me batty but all you can do is show them the way and if they decide to take the rough road just be there loving them. Argh,....... Katy So, how are you?? How is our Miss L?? Hope she is feeling better!!!:) I better get going. Gab took her Ranger costume for her class party. We did good this morning getting up and out of the house. I had 1/2 a turkey bagel and picked up an application - lol......yum, I would love to work around all those carbs!!:D Stepped on the scale and woo hoo saw 168 so changing my ticker before it goes back up - lol yipeeeee. Gaby did great at the dentist yesterday!What a trooper. Need to run my rent over across town and go to my fathers gravesite, it is a Mexican holiday to celebrate out loved ones that have passed away. So, have a safe and fun day!! Hello to everyone!!:witch: |
Hugs to you Susan. :hug: You are welcome for the card...I have been thinking of your sis for a while and meant to send a card sooner. I know how hard it is to lose a child, even if I didn't have the chance to see mine be born alive and see him grow the pain is still hard. Sometimes really hard seeing babies...brings tears to my eyes. My tooth is killing me! But I have an appt. tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. yikes that is early! I read in a local magazine this dentist is rated number 1 in the state...we'll see. WOOHOO to 168! Hope it stays until WI plus some! Have a good day missy! And a safe Halloween!
And how did I forget...a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to little Miss LEIGH! :hat::celebrate::gift::balloons::bday2you::balloon s::woo::hb: Cooking a pot of pinto beans for chili later...it is a little chilly out and thought it was the perfect meal to warm my insides. it wouldn't be so cold if that darn wind wasn't blowing so hard...poor little trick-or-treaters...going to be a cold one for them. Have a great day ladies! |
