  • Hello ladies! TGIF too, but Jane is right, I don't work anymore, so all my days are the same. Trying to hold on here...too much eating out this week. My girls had me almost in tears yesterday, so I fell into bad habits and wanted to stuff my face. We had chinese, very little of the fried stuff, so I am hoping that it won't hurt too much. All of my lists this week have not really helped. lol I still have a load of laundry to fold, and my kitchen is a mess! Water is getting better I drank about half my bottle yesterday, I also had a coke zero and like 4 cups coffee.

    I broke routine this morning, Iam going to the gym this afternoon when DS gets home from school. Being in second grade has it's perks...he does not get homework on Friday's so it make it easier for me.

    Just about lunch time for the girls and me, I am thinking PB&J's for them and a big salad for me. Hopefully my weekend won't be so full this week, so I will beable to pop in and see everyone!!!

    Later chicas!
  • TGIF to you too Jane!! But I dont work so ya..lol. We went to dinner last night and I had a steak, baked potato & a side of veggies, which turned out to be just brocoli, lol. I felt really bad about it, so we ended up walking around Walmart Supercenter a few dozen times, lol. I'm sure they think we're casing the place now.

    I have zero motivation today. Dh left at 1am..and then my stupid cats kept meowing at the top of their lungs, at 6am, for me to open the door to let them in. I'm sooooooooo tired, and all I wanna do is sit on the couch and never get up. I did walk 1 mile this morning. I might do more after lunch..but for now..blah.

    I'm thinking that I'm just gonna rest for the rest of the weekend..and then on monday I'll start taking Alli. I need that extra motivation...We'll see..
  • Another quicky here!




    Busy and need to get the wallpaper off today! (kind of stopped to make my birthday dinner since we'll be gone Saturday)

    I'll try to pop in later.

    And...I'll post before and afters of the bathroom when it's finished.

    Hugs to ALL of you!
  • Hello Ladies

    Y'all have really been busy around here. I too have OP days and off lately and I just haven't had the heart to write. Can't seem to stick to one diet. I guess that is what makes IE so apealing to me. Just learn to eat when I'm hungry and eat what I'm hungry for. I have worked up to 1/2 mile a day on my stationary bike and I am drinking loads of water. It's been cold here too and we also got snow Wednesday night and havee it in the forecast for tomorrow. Won't be able to get up the hill to go to church Sunday if it does. I hate that as I really wanted to go Sunday.

    Jane - DH and I planned a V-day wedding, but when he flew to TX to see me and meet my family, we decided to go ahead and get married on January 27th while he was there and drive back to his home in FL where he lived then. We did that to save money. I called a minister friend of mine and my precious friends got busy and planned my wedding for me at that ministers home. We couldn't have done it any better if we had waited and done it ourselves. Friends did a video and we have it on tape.

    Well, I just want posp n and say hello and to let you know I'm still here and still hanging in there. Like Jules I lurk a lot of times, but I'm just not in the mood to type anything. I'm glad those of you who've been ill are doing better. Hope everybody else is doing well.

    Hugs,
    Trish
  • Hello ladies….how are you all doing?

    Nothing new on this end…..just hanging out at home waiting for Tommy to get home. He had some errands to run after work. Marissa is doing better today. I wao s feeling in her mouth, and I believe I felt yet another tooth that has popped through. So she is just like her brothers and is trying to push a whole mouthful through at once!

    Jane~ I hope Jackson has an easier time with his teething. Marissa was a little pistol but now that she has gotten a couple to pop through, she is handling it all better.

    I do have to add that living in my bathroom helped with the scale and for me to get some things straightened out! I am down a pound, so that is nice to see. I do have to add also, that I had more energy today then I did yesterday. I decided to mop the kitchen floor and bathroom floor, which is a chore in itself for me since I am allergic to pine trees, and our cleaning product is Pinesol! I also cleaned out the top of our coat closet and got rid of old phone books that needed to be gotten rid of.

    Ellen~ Good luck with getting every thing done!

    Francie~ How is your Friday going? I have thought about taking the Alli, but it just seems so expensive. I will have to look more into it before I do anything else.

    Marti~ It is good to hear from you!
  • Mindee~I bought the starter kit from Walmart, and my friend got it from someplace else (I'll ask her where because I forgot). It wasn't that expensive. I'm pretty sure I'll be starting it on monday..I'll let you know how it goes.


    Well..lets see..I hurt my jaw eating lunch and now it hurts to open my mouth. I'm considering this a blessing. My vitamin got stuck in my throat and I totally flipped out thinking I was gonna choke to death...but I drank more water and it went down, lol. THEN I stepped on my cat when I was trying the bellydancing dvd..and now she's hiding from me I broke a nail trying to peel my orange, so I just ate an apple instead..lol. I'm getting injured doing everything except working out!! OH..I tried the exercise ball and I love it!! My inner thighs hurt in a good way. So ya..its been an interesting couple of hours. Right now I'm just watching Gilmore Girls & playing on my DS. So ya..lol.

    How is everyone else's friday??
  • Trish~ we must have been typing at the same time. You got married on my brother's birthday, and the day before Tommy's birthday.
  • Francie~ I will have to look more into it. I don't tend to eat a lot of fried fatty foods, which is what it gets you away from right? I believe I checked out our Wal-Mart and it was $60 or something like that at the time. I will check on their website to see if the price has gone down.
  • See you at # 285.
