Marie congrats on the scale day.

Hi, all! Woo hoo! I'm 2 more lbs down today! I can't even believe it, what with all that chocolate at the beginning of the week. This week will have to be a good one, too, because Thanksgiving week weigh-in will definitely not.
Today's splurge will be a Red Robin burger, mmmmmmm, it's been a while. But I shall remain chocolate free for a while longer. I'm off to the hardware store shortly, hoping to re-wire a lamp. I've never done it before, but from what I've read, it sounds do-able. Then it's going to be a rainy cleaning day today. I'm trying to get a head start on the Christmas re-organizing around here, so it should be a busy day! Marie, I hope Mr Scale continues to giveth - LOL! Good luck with your school fight. Sounds like a giant headache. Ugh! Ace, congrats! Every pound gone is a good one. Keep on plugging away! Carol, have fun at the museum, and then try to get some rest! Sounds like you're worn out! Have a great weekend, everybody! :D |
This is a quick hi to one and all! I'm here, still struggling. The other morning I woke up feeling fat and humming an old Looney Tunes theme song ("Porky Pig! Our favorite ham!"). I've done a couple of short workouts the past few days, but too much stress munching at work and in the evenings. I'm feeling uncharacteristically passive about things. It's just a phase. At this point I'm doing well to keep myself pointed in the right direction. Reading your posts keep me grounded when I want to buy a a pint of Ben and Jerrys!
I'll have two days of difficult meetings on Monday and Tuesday, then heading out of town again on Wednesday. So today I'll focus on house stuff and zone out. I'm going to go walk in the sunlight for while, look at bits of furniture at Target. Have a good weekend, and keep up the good work! judy |
It's Weekend!!!
Hi all, I have a wonderfully boring day planned. That means no one expects anything of me and I can do what I want. I think I might set up my website as I wanted to show my friends here my latest stained glass so I added it to my "website" that's a true mess. I've had it for 1.5 years and I have done nothing with it. So I think today I just might make it a bit better. But then again, maybe not. I did add the latest stained glass (below) and a picture of Kai Bear playing. Kody had a cookie and wasn't eating it - Kai thought she should have it so she was being rambunctious. I couldn't resist adding the photos. So here they are. The stained glass is of two howling wolves with ribbons of Northern Lights. Of course, the one on the left is Kodiak and the one on the right is Blizzard.
http://www.mariesdogs.com/Images/kody-glass http://www.mariesdogs.com/Images/kai-playing So things are going nice here. It's sunny and I'm home alone with my doggies. How could things be better??? The dogs and I haven't gone hiking yet but we will. I thought a warm walk in the sun sounded better than when it was 30 degrees and dark. It's supposed to be in the mid-50's so we're waiting. Food is interesting as I made not healthy choices for breakfast. I had my usual 105 cal mocha but added 70 cals of M&Ms. So where's the nutrition??? Not in me. :D It sure was tasty and my cals are fine but no healthy stuff. I'll try to do better at lunch. Yesterday I was a little low on my cal goal but that's always acceptable. The scale giveth just a little more niceness. Not a lot, but I'll take a loss in any way. Auntie, enjoy your burger. I love the Robin's onion rings. I had a couple in July and still dream of them. ;) After the re-wiring, stand back when turning the lamp on. Please... Ace, way to go on the pound loss. You're on your way. Judy, keep fighting the passive mindset. The more you fight it now, the less you'll have to try to recover when the right mindset hits. You've come way to far to lose to much track. Penny, Carol, Mi mi, and Lu - I hope you're doing wonderfully. Can you all believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner??? Eeks. We're going to Reno with the three huskies. I think they'll enjoy the slots in the casino. :devil: Alright, we're just sleeping there. The rest of the time will be with DS1 and GF, and my beautiful DGS. Also on Black Friday, if there is a good lost leader for an electronic's store, I will be getting my big screen TV. :carrot: If not, I have to wait till I earn it with the exercise. I'm only up to $300 in the exercise bank. So it would be a bit longer. But if I find a DEAL, all the better. Time to play. Marie |
Hi everyone!
Just a quick check in here to say hello. I hope everyone's doing well. Marie - awesome stained glass, by the way! WOW! Judy - I hope the meeting on monday + tuesday aren't too draining. All the best. Auntie - Congrats on the 2 more lbs! I really hope you all have a great sunday. |
I am new at this website. I like what I see. MRC told me about this site!
I started my diet 10/7 and have lost 16 pounds as of 11/15/2008. I want to put a tracker on but not sure how. Can someone help me with this? Thanks bunches. Lots of encouraging information at this website. Lighter Later! |
Oh man, what a lost day! I haven't finished with the lamp, but it wasted a LOT of time, and I didn't get any cleaning done. I have to go back to the hardware store tomorrow and get another part, but I'm not giving up!
My Red Robin trip was messy, too. The burger was delicious, but the drive was shaky. We had torrential downpours - the kind that make it impossible to see the lines on the road, or through the windshield at all, for that matter. I was a nervous wreck, but we made it, so I shouldn't complain... Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive. Judy, hang in there! It'll all come together sooner or later. Just do the best you can to at least break even until you're through your phase. Good luck with your meetings! Marie, wow! The stained glass is amazing! What do you do with these works of art? And the picture of Kai is so adorable! And ooooh, you have a Black Friday mission - how exciting! I don't have any specific things I'm looking for yet, but hopefully I'll narrow it down by then. The thrill of the hunt, you know... If you don't hear from me by tomorrow night, you'll know the re-wiring did not go well. :fr: Mazza, hi! Hope all is well down under! Hope, hi and welcome! You have to wait 20 days and 20 posts (I think) to get a tracker. It sounds like you're on a roll with your weight loss - keep up the good work! Is that your puppy in your picture??? OK, it's time for bed. Have a good one! |
Oh Auntie, I totally agree about a wasted day. For me it was a wasted major portion of the day yesterday, not the whole thing. I decided to play with my website. Clearly I'm better at Dreamweaver on a PC than a Mac. I had the menus and templates done and then at some point, I changed something in the drop down menus and there's a java script error in it now. I'm not sure I really want to work on it again. I think I'll play with stained glass today and watch the football games. At least then I'll see some productivity.
I received the sourdough starter (that's a child of one from over 250 years old) on Friday and I worked with it per the instructions throughout yesterday. Today I have the dough already kneaded and it's starting its first rise. It definitely smells like sourdough, rather than yeast like the one I tried 2 weeks ago. I'll let you all know how it goes. There's no added fat so it should be relatively healthy and I'll make spaghetti tonight. I LOVE spaghetti with my homemade marinara and homemade pasta. Now homemade sourdough bread. I'm like little suzy homemaker. Hope, welcome to the thread. I hope you continue to join us. You're doing great on your weight loss. Mazza, I hope you're having a great time. And I just looked at the picture I uploaded and it wasn't the right one. So here's the 2 howling dogs one I just finished. The other was of Kodiak and I did it last spring. BTW Auntie, I have my 3 howling doggies (wolves) in my 3 front windows in my livingroom. DH told me that when he was backing out of the drive one day this week, there was a husky under each stained glass watching him. He said it looked so cool. http://www.mariesdogs.com/Images/2howlingWolves So here's the one I just finished. Food was under my cal limit and I hiked with the pups. We're going out again after I hit submit. They'll be so happy as they're used to dark hikes with the headlamp. And now two days in a row where they can see all the deer and jack rabbits. They really like that. Hope everyone else is doing good. Auntie, good luck with the wiring. Marie BTW, my sister got me started with Facebook and it's pretty cool. My niece added me as a friend and I browsed through her photos - she just had a 2nd child about 6 weeks ago. So they were the first pics I saw of it. It's a fun site. |
Hi all! Well, I finished the lamp and did NOT get electrocuted. I wish I could enjoy my moment of success, but now I'm cranky because of a new problem. When I turned on the overhead dining room light to work on the stupid lamp, it went kaput. I thought it just blew a bulb, but alas, it is dead, dead, dead. Grrrrrr... I'm not attempting that myself. Now we'll have to pay someone to replace it. I'm giving up on trying to do anything else today. I will read the newspaper and watch football and that's that. Sigh...
Marie, yeah, I was a little confused about the stained glass picture that showed up here, but I looked at your website and saw all three. That would have been an awesome picture, to get the dogs under the stained glass! I have Facebook, too, but I don't have anything on it. I think it's much harder to deal with than MySpace. Any chance you've got one of those??? It really is fun being able to keep up with people and see their pictures and kind of know what's going on in their lives. Hope your bread is good, and you have a lovely spaghetti dinner! I'm off to veg in front of the tube. Have a great day! |
Yukky! I had a nice note written and dang my computer messed up so here is the short version. Marie awesome job on that stained glass I am jealous of your talent... So beautiful and so you with the thought and time that went inot that piece of work.
Judy hang in there you can do it don't let that dang stress devil get you he got me and it wasn't nice take a stand against him. Good luck and maybe somehow laughter needs to be in your day to destress. Good funny movie listen to some music which makes you smile etc.. Just some thoughts oh how well I know what its like. I have been to the gym two days in the row for more than an 1hr. 15 min. workouts still haven't done a complete set of everything. But I feel worked out when I leave and its got to showup eventually if I keep it up. Working on the food part as well. Not so easy but trying hard. I stopped at the apple orchard on the way home for my weekly apples. I like to take them to work and eat one on the way home or at snack time. Tonights snack apple slices with a little pb. Welcome to have hope come join us we tend to have a few good laughs on here and really are a bunch of motivated women with great ideas and support one another through the rough spots... We have surely all been there at one time or another. I feel like I am on an upswing exercising and making some improvements always room for more I am sure. My new workouts should pay of greatly I think and hope. My next session with the instructor is on wed. before Turkey day. Good timing huh? Auntie g the burger oh so good ym. Well gotta go mop my floor promised myself to do that today. Then bake some cookies for the kids and yes I am staying out of them I have my sf jello with bananas chilling how exciting.... |
Carol, sounds like good timing to me on the next trainer led workout. I hope it keeps you on track for Thanksgiving!!! BTW, I did my floors yesterday. I'd bought a steam cleaner for my laminate floors about a month ago. I think it's called a Shark. Anyway, I LOVE it. When I "mop" I have to do the entire house as the doggies have complete access and when their paws are muddy, they spread their joy around. It wasn't expensive and does a way better job than my mop ever did.
Auntie, sorry about your electrical woes. But at least you got your lamp working. :) And I'm watching the end of your game. There's 1:50 left in OT. My Packers whipped the Bears. YEAH!!! So I've got to ask... What the heck is wrong with McNabb. Four interceptions (ok, almost a 5th). I've never seen him play so poorly. Marie |
Here I am again... but just for a minute. Despite my electrical miseries, I'm having a good, light food day, so yay! And I got a little bit of holiday planning done, so at least I did something today.
Carol, I hope those cookies didn't get ahold of you! I never make cookies except at Christmas, but I think I will skip it this year. Way too dangerous... Marie, is that Shark the one with removable cloths? I saw an ad for it somewhere and it did look interesting. I have a terrible time with my white kitchen floor... And I don't know what McNabb's problem is- it was certainly a rough game! The big talk around here is about whether we need a new coach! Congrats to you and your Packers, anyway! |
Auntie, the only thing I like about the Eagles is Andy Reid (as he was a Packers coach). I have a hard time believing that he's the problem as he had created such a dominant team and now he's bad? That makes no sense. But alas, I don't follow the Eagles. But it's always amazing how the coach is the scapegoat in football. After Mike Holmgren left, the Pack went through coaches and blamed them for the problems. Sometimes it's the players the GM picks... :D
Anyway, I'm glad you had a good light eating day. I ate within cals, but I wanted to munch all weekend. I'm hoping work will help with that but so far I'm dreaming of Oreos leaping over the moon. Mr Scale was evil this morning so I went back to bed. Now I have to exercise after work. But the return trip to bed really was quite nice. ;) Marie |
Feelin' kinda Monday here... Food was fine today, hurray, but I spent too much time in the car and doing little "chores", and I do believe I need some exercise. Everything just feels sluggish. Ick! Back to work tomorrow should get me back in motion. This week needs to be a good one!
Marie, sorry about Mr Scale, but going back to bed does sound delicious. I really ought to be there right now. So, as for the football thing, I don't really pay as close attention to the politics of the game as other people do. I mostly like the fact that watching a game gives me permission to lounge around on Sundays! But the problem with Andy Reid I've been hearing about is that he won't make any changes. He sticks to a plan even when it's not working, and he's so predictable that other teams already know what plays he will call. I don't know. I'm just in it for fun. Whatever will be, will be... And what will be now, is bedtime! Good night! |
