Sitting here trying to drink this f-ing water. TOM is in full swing and let the good times roll.

It is a cute avatar, huh? I don't know how you ladies are going to find it again. lol I think it was like page 60 something.....maybe if you want to use it you can click on and save as.....maybe that would work?

Cristina - It was a horrible eating weekend here! I think if we just eat clean til Friday it will go right back down.
I really don't think a pool party was planned because the little twins were in there w/ their clothes on. lol
Jus alittle much for me and I didn't even get to the story of the dog throwing up a hot dog and one of the twins with the *runs* going down her leg.
Course that got everyone out of the pool asap. haha....

Mindee- I hope the pool gets to stay open! Ya, routine and staying on a schedule helps me a lot , mentally :dizzy:....little things throw me off way too easily. I didn't like all the running around and different parties going on this last weekend. I would have done better just being by myself and staying calm. lmao..... sound like a f-ing loon......but it is true. :)

Francie- Hope you can sleep better tonight! It is nice that you guys at least have a moving date :hug: - hope you don't stress too much w/ the move.

Hi to everyone else!

I feel horrid......exhausted and wondering if my rbc are all messed up again....or maybe it is just TOM??? Whatever it is I am out of my mind tired.

Ate a small piece of steak for dinner w/ veggies, full on that and just drinking up my water for the day.

So, that is that..........night :)

It would have been pretty simple if I just said night and went to bed.....but I am back!

I drank 70 oz's of water today, I feel so uncomfortable. After dinner I had a roll w/ mustard on top, I love that, I love carbs, I love mustard.

I love wine too, I had a glass of merlot. lol

I still think I am around 1,200 calories for the day so I feel ok.

Sue - how was your day? You are not boring at all!

Asia - You still in the shower??? lol Come back and tell us what is up.

Sassy - How are you doing?? :hug:

Tammy - You enjoying the beach??

Jules- I miss you, hope you are enjoying the grandbaby.

Katy -ok, I know you are ok.....so jealous of the beautiful place you are visiting this week! Have fun.

:wave: hi to Cristina, Mindee and Francie again :0

k- better get my Gaby to bed. We are both sooo glad she has her last day of school this Thursday. There is a bluegrass band playing up at the zoo Wednesday night, I would like to take the girls to that...and w/ the zoo membership it is free,,,,,I think the name is Blue Highway.

*sigh....k- I think I will go crawl in bed and try to get some sleep.

night again.... :wave:

doing my nightly pop in.....

well, we have a little Houdini on our hands!

Tommy opened the window in the boys room a crack because Logan decided to "play" again.....so he was airing the room out. Well, Logan was misbehaving, so he went into the bedroom for a time out. (mind you, I didn't know the bedroom window was open)

I was sitting at the table eating my dinner, which lines up with our doorwall. I thought I saw something on the porch and I just thought it was the grill cover because it was windy. So, I went back to eating my dinner. A couple minutes later, I saw a light blue blob on a red, yellow and blue bike. I jumped up out of the chair, and ran outside. I opened the front door, and saw Logan's pillow on the cement, then him on his bike not too far from it!

I caught up to him and turned around to bring him back inside and heard the window close in the boys room. I got inside with Logan, and Tommy says "I didn't think he would have jumped." I then said "he has no fear, why would a little jump from a window on the first floor scare him?"

Susie~ It is not looking like the pool is going to stay open. It is now completely green, and has some kind of film on the bottom of it.

I get to add carbs in now, but I stepped on the scale and I didn't like the number that I saw! So, I need more water and less carbs!

Why hello ladies!!!!! I saw the batman movie. INCREDIBLE!!!! I am in love with Christian Bale!!!! AAAHHHH!

Francie- I have a Chiweenie. Has Chihuahua and half Dachshund. I adopted him from the humane society.

Sue- I bet you will loose that 10 pounds in no time. I will def keep you on my mind. I am almost back to the weight I was when I first did this diet a year ago. When i get to 165 I will have surpased it. That is my goal right now. Just 165. Anyways.....good luck!

Susan- I hope af is gone by now. Mine is getting there. If really hasnt been half bad. She just took FOREVER!!! Bahaa

Rosie- I know this is probably a stupid question but what does TOM stand for?

Mindee- Crazy nights of sleep are no good. I hope you are feeling better! That green pool thing sounds kinda yucky. What is it? And yes i did reach my 10 pound mark. It feels good.

Cristina- WTG with getting back on track. i hope things are going well.

Well now for my news. I passed the 10 pound mark this morning. I have lost 10.5 pounds. I am ecstatic. I will write more about that later. My mom wants on the computer. I shall write back tomorrow afternoon. With details.

Got in a 2 mile ride last night. I had cereal with fruit for brunch. Now if I don't eat anything until dinner I will be ok. I have had 2 big glasses of water so far. I am making myself drink a glass of water BEFORE I can have iced tea. (every time) So, see how that goes for the water consumption and saving on the tea purchases. :)

Took Mom to therapy and now need to run some books to a gal pal. Will stop and buy some sweet corn as DH is grilling tonight. I will have corn and a lean burger. (no more of the nasty hot dogs...)

Be back later....

Sitting here eating my roll w/ mustard, not a healthy breakfast but it makes me happy....and w/ coffee, awwwwww, bliss.

Also happy the scale is back down almost to where it should be before the Long Lost Weekend. :carrot:

Set the clock for 6am but slept right through that for my walk, I am tired but I do feel better. I think Mexican food doesn't agree with me , should stick to fish and veggies.

Asia :bravo: on the 10 pound mark! Your dog sounds adorable. I know I am not Katie but I think TOM stands for "time of the month"..... See, in the news about Christian Bale assualting his mother & sister?

Mindee- :yikes: I am glad Logan is ok, your response to Tommy was cute. Kids just don't have the fear of possible harm yet. Now what the heck was put in your pool?? I hope they find the ding bats.

Going to finish my coffee and head out for some errands and 2 job things. I am even having a good hair day so life is looking up :)

Chat at you later.....

EDIITED for Sue... :wave: you snuck in,,,,have a good day!

pssst Cristina, I have to get off this computer but wanted to say hello first to you!
I think you ate just fine , I like hard boiled eggs but they have to be warm.:dizzy:
I looked in the website at Blue Highway (the band playing at the zoo this Wed.) and it looked like a decent one to go hear. I mean , considering it is free and it is a nice place to spend the early evening. Course past Gaby's bedtime ((starts at 7pm)) but the next day is her last day for school, so she can drag butt. lol I am so mean.
I bought some lite yogurt at the store this morning, might be a nice change of pace, and it has lots of protein and zero fat at 100 calories.
Trying to increase the water today, think that helps a lot in losing weight and I have been horrible getting all mine in for the day. Just seems a bother or something you want to do when you are just staying home all day. When you have to be out doing errands it can be painful. :( lol

k- I better get, here I sit like I have nothing to do!! :D

Hiya Susan :wave:

I'm working on the water too! I just really hate water but I am trying. Bought some crystal light, can't remember which flavor but I haven't tried it yet. And I like my boiled eggs warm too but I cooked them yesterday. I took one out about an hour before I was going to eat but it was still a little cold, ick.

I was getting ready to sign off too and thought I would check back here to see if anyone checked in. Hoping you have a GREAT day! :D

doing my daily pop in..

today has been one productive day if I do say so myself! I got a call first thing this morning from the school district. they were calling to get Brandon's height and weight for a car seat this coming school year. I know he is roughly 39 pounds, but she needed the height. So, I measured him (39 inches) and called her back to let her know. Then I talked to another lady from the school district because they are doing their school placements. Brandon will now be in a school that is 5 minutes away from us! I already showed him what the school looks like and he is really excited about it!

then I got a call while I was trying to clean the cat liter. so, I stopped what I was doing and answered the phone. Good thing I did! It is a possible job for Tommy. So, I called him and left him a message about it! So, please cross your fingers that this one will be worth it!!!

Onto the pool......I just went and looked at it.....it looks clearer, but the Danger Pool Closed sign is still up. I didn't get a chance to ask the office manager about it yet.........so I am not sure what is going on with it completely.

Asia~ I am not sure what is in the pool. They have a couple of leads as to who it might be, but nothing definite. Great job on getting to the 10 pound mark!!!! You are doing great!!!

Sue~ I never thought that I would be sick of hot dogs, but every time we go see my parents, they always make hot dogs. The kids were burnt out on hot dogs after we spent a couple of days up there!

Susie~ Logan is our Mr. Fearless. He absolutely fears nothing! the higher the degree of harm, the more he is into it!

Gotta cut this short.....Logan wants some pop corn

Popping in to say good night........

Sue - I hope you had a good day eating wise, the corn sounds good, and I love 7% hamburger. How was the water?? I think I only managed a 32oz bottle, will try for more tomorrow.

Cristina - I dont know why water is so hard to do. I like to get it done early in the day. Today though I feel bloated as it is with TOM, so I bailed. lol It was like way too miserable.

Mindee- I am really interested in your pool, I hope you find out all the details!! Exciting news about Brandon! Today I received the school supply list and Gaby's teacher's name in the mail. We looked in the yearbook together and Mrs.B looks nice, so I was happy w/ that.

:wave: to all you MIA ladies, we miss you. I can't believe tomorrow is already Wednesday, fast week! Chat later. :wave:

OKay so I have nothing interesting to say. Today is a duty day and I'm sooooooo beyond bored. I have one more hour to go before I can watch Step Up 2. If I watch it too soon, then I'll have nothing to do for the rest of the night. I've already sent my friend about 50 billion emails, lol. I changed my song on myspace, and got all caught up with my list on goodreads. So ya..I'm totally bored right now. Story of my life I guess.

20 days until Fonzo is off the ship
29 days until we move

I got a week extention from Andrew on my goal. He was so excited for me when I told him that i lost 9.5 lbs. He flipped out. Anyways I was at target when I was talking to him on the phone. I found my dress and I started to tell him about it but then he started yelling at me about how it had to be a surprise. He was like NNOOOOO HUSH!! I WANT IT TO BE SUPRISE!!!!" That felt kinda nice that he actually cares. I mean he is super excited for me. Yay!!!! Anyways I am gonna see if I can find it online. We shall see!!! I did my taebo amped! I did it hard core. My muscles are already sore and i havnt even gone to sleep. I am so gonna get my DRESS!!!! :cb:

Sue- I really like the water and tea idea. That is very smart.

Susan- I was so happy to hear from you until you told me that awful news!!!! I just went and looked it up! That is so not good!! No more man crush for me. :(
Just kidding...it was still nice hearing from you.

Francie- 20 days will be here before you know it!!!

There is this dress which they dont have in my size at the one I went to. They might have it at the other one.

Then there is this one. I have the cutest shoes to match this one.

There of course are many more options out there but I just really liked these dresses.

doing my nightly pop in.....

I got some GOOD news since I wrote last......the pool will be OPEN starting tomorrow morning!!!! they don't know what was put into it, but the shock in the pool worked on it. The maintenance man, that is also the pool guy, said that he was going to punish every body one more day because of the people going into the pool like that.

other then that, nothing really new on this end. we have come to the conclusion that we definitely need to start walking after dinner. Brandon didn't go to bed until about 10:30pm! So, we are going to be taking walks at night after dinner.....since that seems to be the only way to get him to go to sleep without problems. well, that and without him taking naps that helps!

Susie~ I was a little bit apprehensive about switching schools with him. But like Tommy pointed out, he does well in new situations. So, I am now just waiting for more details about when he will go (i.e. morning or afternoon) and then who his teacher will be. The school is only 2.98 miles away, which calculates to 5 minutes away by car. We actually had to pass this school, in order to go to the school that did his speech testing before he went to school!

Francie~ I am so with you about being bored! I have been so bored lately.......I have a list of things that I want to do/get done, but I have only done a couple of things. Tommy has been bugging me to make some muffins, so maybe I will make them now.

Asia~ That is so exciting! My hubby told me that when I make it to my goal of 200 pounds, that he has a surprise for me. So, that is ALL the motivation that I am needing! Now, I just have to get my booty up earlier in the morning to get my walking workouts done!
