Back in Kindergarten #63
 

Hello & :welcome:to the Back In Kindergarten thread!

Come join us as we challenge ourselves to lose weight during the holiday season!
:turkey::happ3::turkey::happ3::turkey:



"I feel like I am back in kindergarten in many ways... personal, sometimes at work and now with the weight loss. I have done so many things wrong over the years.....emotional eating, pills for weight loss, eating the wrong things, failed diets, etc.
Now it's time to start fresh, kinda like back in kindergarten......"

You are welcome to join us in our chatter about life and our weight loss journey! So please grab your coffee/water/diet coke or whatever your drink of choice is, and pull up a chair and join us!

:coffee:
__________________

Thanks for all the good thoughts..MIL's angiogram went very well. They could not find any blockages...so NO surgery! Yay! They did find a little heart disease, but not enough to do anything about, so she'll need to work on lifestyle to prevent the spread, I guess. She said," I imagine my cardiologist is going to want a little chat with me!"

I ate like it was going out of style yesterday, so today it is time to get back on the wagon!

Have a great day, everyone!

Morning all, notice I did not put "Good" in that!! lol

Its just been a bad morning..............:(

It was going fine and then..............the flood gates opened..........and by that I mean my lovely freaking "visitor" if you wanna call her that, she is more like a permanent resident!!! :mad: Anyways, she came back in Hurricane force this morning and could she wait until I got home from work? Oh no.............she had to do it right before I was to get off of work!

So I go to the bathroom and to be nice it was not pretty. Basically it looked like a murder scene and I had forgotten to bring my phone. I brought pads, but didn't bring the phone because I figured it would be ok.......huh NOTTT!

So I have to clean myself up the best I can with TP and of course you think anybody would have been in the bathroom that I could have yelled at to go and get my coworker for me? UM NO! So I clean up the best I can and then go scurrying back to my desk to get my change of undies I keep in my drawer, (TG I do!!!) and go back to the bathroom and change and clean up...........

This was all on my last break and of course I was late getting back, but that isn't what peed me off. I inform my coworker that I "may or may not" be in tonight. (Depends on how um everything is going) and she says, "WHY?" UGH. And yes she knew what had happened, because I told her when I came back for my stuff. I dunno I guess it is totally stupid to get mad at her for that, but I did. lol.

I guess I really was not mad at her, but I can't really yell at my period!!! lol. I didn't say anything to my coworker though, but I began to cry (felt so stupid) and she came over to ask what was wrong and all I could say was, "please leave me alone" I had to say it like 3 x's but she got the message and I was not mean about it (or at least I don't think I was???) so I dunno. I am just SO frustrated with this freaking period! It has been this way since day one of my period and as I get older, the worse it gets! The only things they can do for me is either A) put me on the pill or B) do a hysterectomy and those won't work since DH and I want children.............

Everytime I call the drs office up they always tell me to go straight to the ER because of how much blood I lost. Well I do that and the ER doesn't do freaking crap! So its a waste of my time and money!!! :tantrum:

So that is why I am feeling the way I am in a "nutshell" lol.

I did email my boss and told him about me being late for my last break (just told him it was a personal medical problem, didn't wanna say um I bled all over the place.....:rolleyes:) and I also asked him if there was any way possible for me to be off tonight, I know its last minute, but I figured I would ask him, heck all he can say is no, right? But my coworker will be there, so really there is no reason for me not to be able to be off. Yes I could call off, but that counts against me. If he lets me off, then it doesn't. Confusing I know.......but our freaking co. is anal about attendance...........


Well I am going to bed now..........

Thanks for listening and thank you all for your wonderful compliments and also for making me feel better after reading them...........

:hug:

Update: My boss left me a voice mail stating that yes I can be off tonight, so I don't have to go back until Sunday Night because tonight would have been my Friday!!!!! YAY!!! :cheer3:

Katy~Thats good about your MIL!! Well, not about the heart disease though :(

Sassy~Ugh..I've had that happen to me before. I was in school, and bled through everything..I had to walk around with my friend's sweater around my waist for the rest of the day. Sorry!! I hope you feel better :hug: Have you talked to your doc about the heavy periods?? Dont go to the ER, cuz they dont really do crap except give you meds..but talk to your doc.

Good Morning -

Sassy - :hug: sounds like you need some extra time off, I am glad your supervisor agreed too! Take it easy.

Mindee- Gaby loves her 1 blanket that she has since she was a new born, it is the blanket that Angie made for her.....that and her Dora pillow. My older sister kept her white blankie the longest, ended up just being the size of a hankie. lol

Katy - Great news about your MIL!! Thanks for the new thread :)

Francie - how did the hair turn out?

:wave: hello to the rest of you ladies .....Cristina, Jules, Sue, Asia, Tammy, Kristi, Pippy!

It is a beautiful day here in Astoria. I have been driving around looking for rentals and found one to call on, actually I did but it was just a message machine. It is right across from the Flavel house, I would love to live there, just walk out your door and have all this history around you.

Piggy couple of days for me but I am hovering below 145 ...I still need to get back on track. Really I am just tired of the whole thing....lol

Drama w/ Gaby's father and of course we aren't surprised. Actually I am but my ex husband says I a gullible......and whatever.

k- not in a cheerful mood obviously so I shall wish you all a wonderful Tuesday and check back in one my nose is back on straight. :D

Susan~LOL!! I didnt straighten my hair last night..so when I woke up this morning, it looked like a birds nest!! LOL!!!

Hello...

Susan...forgot you were looking to move, what is wrong with the place you are in now? Can't remember...Sorry the ex is a pain in the arse.

Katy...yes, thank you for starting the new thread. And that is wonderful news about your MIL.

Tammy...how did the wedding go?

Sassy...glad the boss let you off.

Hiya Francie, and everyone else.

Not in such a great mood...been a little blah and pissy for a few days. I have been getting my exercise in...only thing that keeps me sane right now. I've got in all my exercise for the day...90 minutes, but I am going to take a walk outdoors anyway, once it warms a little more. Just liking walking outside...clears the mind and good for the soul.

Have a good Tuesday!

Lets all be pissy together Cristina!!!

Francie - I bought some conditioner from Deals Only that was $1.99. Finese...without the complete label on it...thinking that is why they sold it cheap but I swear I can't even comb the dang thing now.

I look horrible!! Hard to believe,,,but yes,,,it is true. lol

Crsitina - I can't afford $800 a month, I was planning on moving in the summer but not sure if I can last that long. I have an $8000 PERS thing I thought of cashing in (course I won't get near that amount cashing in early but still...anything would help). Also school and work are in Astoria.

oops, work in 15 minutes!! And I need to change in my uniform :yikes:

adios.

Susan~OMG!!! That is horrible!!! LoL!! Stop using it.



Well..my toilet is broken!!!!!!!!! I have no effin clue what is wrong with it. First it wasnt filling up..so I looked at the tank to see what I can do..and I swear, that is the weirdest looking thing ever. Its not like anything I've ever seen before. I did something to it, and now it fills up. But the damn thing still wont flush!!! I have noooooooooo clue what else to do!!! And the sucky thing is..I didnt realize it wouldnt flush until AFTER I went, lol. So now I have until Fonzo gets home. But whatever..he's the EN, he should be able to fix it.

popping in here while I can.......today is my long day since Tommy has his Lodge night.

My house smells nice and good......I just made some more apple crisp and it just got done! I have been so busy since I got up this morning. I actually fell back to sleep when I sat down to watch the weather channel this morning to see what it is going to be like today. I woke up roughly an hour later and kind of had to scurry to get the boys up, Brandon changed and got them a tuna fish sandwich per their request. Then I got Marissa up since she fell back to sleep like I did! Now all is quiet on this end, so I am hoping that they are taking naps!

I am not sure about dinner.....Logan threw a fit for ot dogs as he calls them, last night.....so I pulled a pack out in case he wanted them tonight. I might pop in one of my frozen pizza's and call it a night.

I am not sure if I mentioned this here or not, but I am looking into going to school. I got information from a local college about their online programs, so if I find one that peaks my interest and I get in, then I am going to be doing the whole program online. And I think the area that has peaked my interest, at least recently it has, has been medical transcription/medical billing. And if that is the one I go with, I think they have some companies who will let you do it from home. If I can get into the college, get my degree, and get hired by one of those places I will feel like I am contributing more since I will be bringing in some money to help with things around here!

oops! forgot to do my personals in my last post.

Katy~ Thanks for starting a new thread! that is such great news to hear about your MIL and her not needing surgery!

Francie~ Have you tried calling the office manager to have them send over a maintenance person? That is what we do when something in our apartment isn't working.

Sassy~ I hope you can get every thing under control, and yay for having tonight off!!!

SuzieQ~ I have a blanket and a puppy that were my brothers before he passed away. I have the blanket some where, and Marissa has the puppy in her crib. I tried giving it to the boys, but they didn't want it. I put it in Marissa's crib and when I was cleaning out her crib one day, I pulled out the puppy and put it with a couple of other things that she didn't want in her crib anymore. She walked up behind me, stood next to the bed, grabbed the puppy and walked over to her crib. I asked her if she wanted it in her bed still, and she gave me a smile from ear to ear and then handed it to me.

Checking back before signing off...

Susan...gotcha...couldn't remember if you mentioned it or not, I am sure you did...just my memory is gone I swear. Hoping you find a place close that you love!

Francie...sorry about the toilet.

Gotta run...have a good day :wave:

Cristina~ How are you doing?

just about to make dinner.....the kids want hot dogs, so it is looking like hot dogs and maybe some rice for them.

Just have a minute...but wanted to say to Mindee- My DD has her own transcription business from home. She wanted to be home when her kids were in school so took an at home course and went to work for another lady. When the gal wanted to sell DD bought her out. It has allowed her to stay home and now her son is 22 and her daughter graduates this year. She says she hasn't made big bucks, but certainly has helped out their family. Plus she really likes it. If she needs to go to an appointment or her church duties she can take time off...she just works later that night. :) Way back then I think the home study course cost her around $500 used from another transcriptionist. Then the lady she worked for taught her a lot. This is medical...and she has also worked for a hospital at home. Just FYI...there are some companies that hire online, be careful and screen them well.

Okay...done now. Haha. Actually I have been sick again today and was in my chair most of the day. I drank lots of green mint tea and ate soup. Now I am off to bed. Talk to you all later.

I thought I would stop back in here before I head off to bed.

Sue~ Thanks for that information! I have thought about doing this for some time now, but I think I am going to bite the bullet so to speak and take the plunge. I will be able to still go to school and do my homework and such, while still being a mom and taking care of the kids and being here when Brandon gets on and off the bus.

So okay..Fonzo came home yesterday and fixed the toilet. Turns out something came loose. Anyhoo..so then late last night at like 11:30pm..it gets all clogged!! And guess what? We dont have a effin plunger!! Ugh!!!!!!! Fonzo fixed it by using a wire hanger..lol. I dont even know how he did it, lol. But whatever..its fixed for now. I hate that damn bathroom.

OH..we bought Wall-E last night. I just love that movie. It's so sweet, and I totally cried again while watching it, lol.

Good Morning All!!!
 

Mindee...did the kids like the hot dogs? Working from home is a great idea!

Francie...glad you guys got the toilet fixed. Bet you are excited about the movie! I saw on one of those talk shows about all the kiddies going to see Twilight.

Sassy...yeah, guess I don't really have a reason to be in a pissy mood, just am.

Nothing new with me...have things to do this morning and afternoon. Did half my walk about 30 minutes ago and will do the other half after 1:30. Also have a dvd to do which I will do later too...busy day so not sure when I will do it but will get it done for sure! Then I'll jump on the treadmill for a few minutes to finish it off...might be up 'til midnight doing exercise but I will get it done...have a goal to make by Jan 1 and I plan on doing it.

Have a good day

nothing new on my end.......Tommy is helping a guy from work today doing his brake lines after work. so it will be me and the kids for dinner. I am going to make spaghetti and garlic bread! then there is usually some left over so that will be Tommy's dinner when he gets home.

Oh yeah! I stepped on the scale this morning and I made it to 227.4!!!!!

Sassy~ Thanks for the good luck!

off to putz around online for a little bit.

Good Morning,

I have to still call on that rental, amazing how there is no phone booths anymore to use. It is too ealry when I leave the apt to call .....like 7:30am and I hate to go home just to make a phone call. I feel like I will be stuck there doing chores. lol

Some good news is my training on late discharge has been changed to 8am to 4:30 ((instead of 11 to 7:30))because the lady who needs to train me is still being trained herself....so, I get to go and learn the ealry part of the shift for the next 2 weeks. yada, yada.

Ate 2 bowls of navy beans soup and a plate of roast beef at work. Feel like like a pig, especially since I took great pleasure in eating a fatty piece of the roast beef....I mean , it was like all fat....lol, dang tastey though.

I'll do indy's later when I get some of these errands done!

Hope you all have a good Wednesday.

Mindee...we just had spaghetti and garlic bread Monday!

Susan...yay to the new hours, I think?! Is that better for you & Gaby? Forgot to mention...THANK YOU for doing a great job with the Christmas Gift Exchange...appreciate it! :thanks:

Okay, I am outta here...want to go walk or do something while I wait for this dumbo. They are doing a virtual tour for the house and couldn't give me a definite time..just sometime between 12 & 1. Better get...chat later.

SuzieQ~ that is great about the hour change!! yahoo!!!

Cristina~ It seems like I am switching dinner ideas with people. Last week on Tuesday, we had ring bologna.......my parents had that the week before. And now you guys had spaghetti on Monday and we are having it tonight.

We also had Spaghetti and meatballs, Monday I believe. Soup last night and pork chops tonight.

I am not getting any exercise in since I still feel yucky, but sure not eating much either. Yesterday I had an upset stomach and severe headache. Today the tummy is still protesting, but the headache is gone.

Had to run to the grocery store for a few things, but otherwise I am headed back to my recliner with my "blankie" for a rest.

Nothing much going on here...winter blahs maybe. :)

Sue~ I hope you start to feel better soon!

I forget what we had on Monday.....oh wait, we had parmesian chicken, chicken stuffing and sour cream and chive mashed potatoes. last night was hot dogs for the kids, then cheese pizza for them, and then I had a supreme pizza.

my tummy has been wishy washy since last night so I really haven't been able to eat much.

Checking back while I have a few minutes to waste.

Guy came and did the virtual tour thing. I didn't know he had planned on doing every room in the house, oops! He didn't...I wouldn't let him do DD & DS's...was picture ready for sure. But he did say the house shows well and I did a nice job with the decorating...made my day. To me my house is just my house, nothing special. Guess we just get used to it...still don't think it's nice, just home. But he made my day :) And...more good news...keeping my fingers crossed. :crossed: I was headed out the door for the other half of my walk and go a call...I got a call for a job interview, yay! I think, lol. Was wondering if anyone was ever going to call me...almost came close to applying at McDonalds! Just want to work...does that seem weird? I do though, just want to get out of the house and meet people and actually do something-make my own money. Anyway...

Sue...sorry you are feeling bad. Lots of hugs to you and hope you feel better soon. :hug:

Mindee...supreme pizza sounds good right now. I had some leftover pork sausage pizza yesterday. Guess in my old age I am letting go and eating the leftovers now. Not sure what is for dinner tonight...thinking the hubby is going to take me out because we have nothing in the house other than bread and peanut butter. And we are going to look at a house as soon as he gets home and showers.

Susan...how is your day going missy? I was quite the little piggy yesterday...this is what a pissy mood does to me, makes me eat, ugh! You know though, navy beans sound good about now...with a little bit of ham, mmm. Thinking I will get some tomorrow when i buy groceries, have some beans w/cornbread.

Hello to everyone else...Francie, Katy, Jules, Tammy, Kristi, Asia, Sassy and anyone I missed. Hope you ladies are having a good day.

Better get going, V will be home in a few.

oops, thanks for the reminder Cristina...here is the list from the previous thread.

Again (ya, we are beating a horse to death, violent people in that BIK group.....) we were aiming for Dec 1st to mail out a $5 gift to our Christmas Exchange Lady Person Member...thingie. Whatever you call it.

And Tammy & Asia hope you ladies see the list in time :clause::clause:

I must say that I didn't sit there and eat 2 bowls of soup and a plate of roast beef all at once. I had some self control.....lol . I had a bowl of soup for lunch and I was going to have a bowl of soup for dinner but when I saw the roast beef and fat dripping in front of my eyes I lost it and ordered everything.

Though you know.....I wasn't that bad...cause one lady sat down w/ 2 pieces of pie! Not that I was noticing....lol.

Sue- hope you are feeling better!

Cristina - I love soups and the hospital makes some good ones. Bean soup was w/ ham and celery. I am fine, days go by so fast! I need to rush and pick up Gaby now from school. :BRAVO: on your house video thingie....whatever it is called. I have seen them on other homes....ewww. do you mean we can go on line now and see your place?? That would be fun. lol

Mindee- :wave:

ok, I am tired. I like the 8 to 4:30 hours it kind of gets the day over w/ fast instead of waiting til 11. Course I will have to get use to the 11 to 7:30 soon enough. I do like the work though, it is interesting and the ladies I work w/ are nice.

k- better get, hi to everyone!

Sassy~Well..my docs tend to get deployed, so I always have to switch doc every now & then, lol. But now that I'm seeing a civilian doc, that wont be happening..lol.

Cristina~I'm going to see Twilight twice!! I already have my tickets for midnight..then again for 10pm later friday night, lol.

OoO..we had spaghetti & meatballs last night, lol. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!! Really really filling. I'm super proud of myself for making it, lol.

Francie--hubby is handy like that, I always tell him it's why and stay with him--he fixes my car, chops wood and plows snow...what more could I want.....hmmmmm...

Susan--I like soups too. I usually make a pot on Sundays with a loaf of bread in the breadmaker. Hubby's fave is lentil, Teri's is potato and Ry's is french onion which I never have made but he does. I like them all. Nobody at my house likes split pea but me. It's a cheap meal that lasts. I made a cabbage "weightloss" soup that was pretty good a few weeks ago--hubby wants it again.

Cristina--boy, it seems like you just moved in...have you been looking at houses to move too? I could see you working at a bookstore or Bath & Body or even a retail store. With your attention to detail you'd be great!!

Mindee--good luck with the classes, wtg on the loss!!

Sue--I am getting sneezy again and have a little headache myself. My coworkers have been teasing me that I must be getting sick since I have been wearing sweaters--I usually have a shortsleeved shirt on with the fan blowing.

Sassy--I keep hoping for the onset of menopause!!!! My female parts doctor retired--his partner delivered Ry so it's been a long time--he removed my ovary due to a cyst and was with me through my miscarriage and a few other procedures due to very painful TOM's -- I don't wanna find another but I need to start looking myself.

Well my brown rice is ready--hi to everyone else!!

Have a great night!!

Hi all.

Well I feel like crap. I dunno what the problem is whether it is hormonal or what, but I am sweating like a pig and feel awful! I know gross right?! I am going to do some searching tomorrow for an ob/gyn and get this problem fixed because it is ridiculous! lol.

Jules -- I hope its not pre-menopause for me as I still want children but PCOS, the lovely and wonderful disease I have can "mimick" pre-menopause....I know yay me, right? lol. Anywho. I am gonna do some searching, that is for sure!

Francie -- Aww! Deployed wow yeah I have no reason to complain now do I? lol. Hope you find one that stays put. ;)

Cristina -- Aww we all go through that every once in a while, I sure hope you feel happier soon. :hug:

Suzy Q - I love roastbeef.....:drool: I had a roast beef sub from subway the other day, was pretty good. ;)

Sue -- Well guess we are in the same boat, both feeling like crap. lol. I hope you feel better!

:hug:

well, my tummy has been really wishy washy since last night, so I stepped back on the scale after I got out of the bath and I was 225.8. It isn't that I am not eating, because trust me, I am. I am not sure what it is....but I will take it as a loss.

oh, we ended up having meatless spaghetti because I forgot to pull some out. it was still good anyways!

Feeling so much better tonight. I sure don't know where the nausea came from.

Jules- I am always in a sweater or sweatshirt now. Funny, because since my hysterectomy I have been overheated most of the time. Hope the sneezes don't get you down.

Francie- Your hair looks so cute. Enjoy Twilight. I just found out my DD has read those books and loved them.

Mindee- Hope you are able to take the classes. I think working from home is so cool. DS in CA and step-son have their own biz and work from home. I guess a good portion of people in CA do that. My younger DD tried it too, but she is such a people person and had no kids at home..she needed to get out into an office setting.

Cristina- Hope you liked the house you looked at. Are you going smaller or just different area? DH has joked about selling this house and building again...but he knows I would not be happy. He actually would hate to leave his nice workshop.

Susan- Good luck on finding another rental. I am amazed at the cost of rentals around the country. I am so glad that you are happy with the job. It is nice to enjoy the people you work with also.

Sassy- Hope you are feeling okay and enjoying your longer days off. Nice of your boss to ok that. Thanks for the hugs...I am better tonight.

Katy, Tammy, Asia....Hi to all.

I ended up not making pork chops tonight, but sausage, fried potatoes, green beans and biscuits. I actually was able to eat, but keep it to a minimum.
I love soup too ladies and could eat it every day. I wish DH liked it better. My problem is the bread or crackers that I want with it...usually with peanut butter or cheese. LOL.

Have to go to the dermatologist tomorrow. Ugh...hate that he checks every square inch of my body. But, oh well, just so he doesn't find another cancerous area. I do not want to be cut on again. Plus...his office is cold and I have to strip. LOL. I am going to take a heavy cardigan and wear it until he comes into the room...I swear I am.

Have a happy Thursday friends.

Sassy- Sorry you are sick again. You really MUST find a doctor missy.

HELP!!!! I'M ADDICTED TO MYSPACE APPS!!!!!!!

LoL!!

Seriously..I did nothing all day but play Sorority Life, Fashion Wars, Mafia, Vampires, & Pirates. I need to get a life asap!! LoL!!

Also..I'm going to see Twilight T-O-N-I-G-H-T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dropping back in here quickly......

nothing really new on my end.

Sue~ It is good to hear that you were able to eat. Your dinner sounds yummy! we are having breakfast here.....eggs, hash browns, and bacon.

Francie~ I was the same way, but I scaled back on some of the ones I have on there!

Thanks Mindee- I am even better today. Although I hated going to the Dr. Good news though. He didn't find anymore suspicious moles, so didn't have to cut on me this time. Go back in 6 months and if I get an all clear I can go back to one year visits.

Other than that we had gotten news last week that our offer in Vegas was rejected. Then yesterday, a notice that the price was lowered on the condo we were interested in. So, today we submitted a new offer. *fingers crossed* that this one is accepted.

DH went to the grocery store for me today..yay, so that job is done for the week. Laundry is done, house is clean, well semi-clean. Tomorrow is lunch out and not much else.

Have a good Friday ladies.

Soooooooooo I just got back from watching Twilight. I have to say..I liked the book a lot better, lol!!

Morning. :coffee:

I am going to attempt to get some cleaning done today as well baking cookies (not for me for a friend). So we shall see. Here lately I have done a whole lot of nothing. :(

:hug: to all.

************************************************** ********************

10:19 AM EST:

Where is everybody?? Sleeping in today? Working hard??? lol

Well.........I finished cleaning the bathroom.....:cp:

I was gonna start laundry then thought that is silly when I would have to do DH's scrubs when he comes home too. So I'm waitin on that! ;) So all I have to do left on "my list" is the cookies. I may try to get some other things tidied up a bit, but I am not killing myself! lol.

I hope you all are doing well!!!!


Big :hug:

P.S. -- I truly love the song by Trace Adkins, "You're gonna miss this".......only sharing!!!! ;)


For Francie, Was just looking and came across this one, not sure if you have it or even like it:

http://dl4.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...b5zr5qtbuk.png

Sassy~Thanks!! I love it!! LoL!! And its true, lol. What kind of cookies will you make??


Nothing else is going on with me. OH YA..I lied..ITS FREAKING SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well..it was..it seemed to have slowed down now, lol.

Hello...

Francie...did you see the movie? Or is that tonight, can't remember? Snow? Ugh, don't say that word please! It was so nice Wednesday and then yesterday so freakin' cold, brrrr! Same today...I am not ready for winter and I definitely don't want any snow!

Mindee...hope your stomache has settled.

Sue...have you heard any news on the condo in Vegas?

Susan...how's it going at work?

Hiya Jules, Katy, Asia, Tammy, Kristi

Well, I don't know how much exercise I will get in, if any...getting lazy and I hate that. Yesterday I started the day off with 30 minutes on the treadmill and planned on doing the BL once I finished...time got away from me so then planned to do it after errands. Got back and got busy with other things and never got any more exercise in. Not sure about today...haven't done anything yet. I will force myself to though, even if it is just an hour. Funny how the weather makes a difference in my exercise and motivation. Need to just suck it up and get it done!

Eating wasn't so great yesterday either. Haven't had any water in the last two days. Okay, I take that back...I am working on my 1st 32 ounces for today. And the eating is better today.

That's about all I have...working on decorating the house for Christmas today. Did some yesterday and the plan is to just take my time and do it over a few days, rather than try to do it all in one day like I normally did.

Chat later...adios chickies :wave:
