Good Morning,

I am glad I am average (who would have thought) I weighed and gained back to 144.6. I figured that since I enjoyed the New Year with goodies. Time to get back on track this week!

Jules- Tell hubby to stop bellowing!! lol I finally was able to see the slideshow, love the pic's.....especially Teri's tattoo. I want one if I would get over being a chicken. My frames are at least 7 years old, I bought them when Gaby was just a baby.

Francie -I am glad you are feeling better! Cute avatar of you and Fonzo, lov the hat :D

Mindee- I didn't know you were without hot water for 6 days, sheesh. I thought it just happed over the weekend, hope today it gets fixed! Ya, what is FB? :dizzy:

Sue- 3 pound gain is ok, it means you are average! lol :cheer3::cheer2::cheer3:

Cristina - Hey! Glad you get to still watch Cambrie. I like Target. I bought Gaby a cute swimsuit and a few warm shirts there yesterday. Yep, heading for those medical benifits, thank goodness. I was in training for 2 months, lol........that was kind of nice. Who knew there was so many ways to collect garbage, make beds and clean toilets??? Actually there are 4 ways to make a bed! I learned that. lol

k- on my 11 to 7:30 shift now. I was meaning to watch The Bachelor last night but Gaby refused to go to sleep because she napped in the car on the way home from Portland. I thought is was cute at the time but not not when I wanted her to go to bed for *real*. I finally just gave in and ironed for an hour , took my Tylenol PM and went to bed.

Have to really control my eating this week! I bought a big bag of Honey Dijon chips before I left Portland and munched on some while I drove home. I had pasta for dinner and a yogurt too. I wasn't even hungry. Just figured being out of control for a few more hours wouldn't hurt. lol

anyway, better start getting ready for work!

You all have a good Tuesday.

Tuesday hello to all... Man, those WATP videos kick my butt. Who knew just adding the stretchy bands would make it so much harder? No, wait, maybe it is because I have been such a slug and really, really need the movement.
Anyway, I did 2 miles and hope to do the other walk without the bands for 2 miles later. Gonna try to break it up (give my old body a reprieve) I feel so guilty since there are some on here who walk the treadmill and do other exercise for HOURS....and I am so wussy that 32 minutes wears me out. Hopefully I will get back in the swing and do more. But I really miss my bike.

Just doing some odds and ends of housework today, cooking ham and beans and going to make cornbread for DH and Mom. Tomorrow I think I will take them out to lunch..our 32nd anniversary. Friday night DH is taking me out to dinner for the anni., but I figured I could treat him to a lunch. We don't even do gifts anymore except for the big milestones.

Okay ladies, have a nice day and also get ready for Happy Hump Day tomorrow. lol...

just popping in here quickly since I have to get Logan up before he makes a mess in the room again!

We did get the new hot water tank.....they only let us use the other units for the shower/hot water. we will be moving soon though out of the apartment. we are looking into mobile homes.

it was so nice to take a nice warm shower in our own bathroom earlier today!

oops! gotta run.....bam bam is going off

oh yeah....I forgot to mention, FB stands for facebook.

AND I am not sure if I posted this on here or not, BUT Tommy got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday. he goes on Thursday at 1:45pm to talk about taking his gall bladder out because it is NOT functioning properly.

Mindee--glad you got your hot water back--good luck in finding a place to move.(ps--thanks for explaining the fb is facebook--I was coming up with all sorts of fb's it may have stood for!!)

Sue--HAPPY HAPPY Anniversary to you!!!! I need your new address. I am an exercise wuss too...WTG on using those bands!!

SusieQ--tattoos don't hurt as much as you think they would. Hubby went down to his garage to play...so no bellowing tonight...tee hee...with him in the garage and Dominic not here--it's SOOOOO quiet...I forgot how quiet sounded--and I can actually type with two hands!! I actually watched a little of the Bachelor last night.

Cristina--well I am glad you get Cambrie again. I am sure dil will find something to get dramatic about in a few weeks--We did have a good day Sunday, but Dave did make a comment at the end that reminded me what a whiny little girl he is...Teri took Dave's pics off my space except one with him holding Dominic right after he was born and there was one with Ry and Dave was to the side with the caption "Ryan and the spermdonor" he told her it really hurt his feelings and she should change it..she removed the whole pic...

well, I am not sure what I am going to get into...I may channel surf without anyone telling me they don't like what I am watching....

Hope everyone else is doing well and comes back to post soon!!

well, I grabbed me some dinner, and I am flip flopping between TBL and the Wings game.

I am going to start my liver flush thing that Tommy's friend gave him. I will let you all know how it goes.

Mindee- Hope Tommy gets the gallbladder taken care of. I know those attacks can be painful. Glad you got hot water..yay! Good luck on finding a place to move.

Jules- Thanks for the Happy anni. The years sure go by quickly. My DH closed down his wood shop for the winter so he is inside pacing the floor. I made him promise that he will get heat in there before next winter OR else we will go away for the winter. I can not handle him being so antsy. He has a 36 inch t.v., a mini fridge, stereo and wood shop library in there. I told him he just needs a bed. haha..

I only walked 1 more mile today, but counting calories went well. I am right at 1200, which is great. Wanted to be 1200-1500. I can usually hit the lower number the first few days then end up closer to the high number after that. I am back to doing Fitday for counting.

Happy Wednesday to you all tomorrow..off to watch TBL.

Hi everyone

I am having the worst time with this website. I tried to post last night, and it wouldn't let me, it takes forever for the pages to open, if they do, or it tells me it can't find the server. Grrr.
Weighed in this week at the same. So am I normal SusieQ?
I can't seem to get past the 41:30 time for my run.
Oh well I will keep plugging away at it.
Hugs to you all.

Just a quick fly-by for now...busy morning with Cambrie here and getting ready to put her in the bath and get her off to preschool and then stop off at Wal-mart for a couple of things. Will be back later to chat more.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

It's raining, it's pouring..........

We're suppose to get 3 to 6 inches of rain here on the coast. Cute trying to get Gaby into school this morning, she kind of takes her time and it is like....."grrrrrr, my hair!" lol

Not complaining though because anything else beats the snow and icy conditions.

It is a day off from work and I am headed to the store for some grocery shopping. Salad packages are only $1 , so I thought I would get a few. The ex bought the Asian one and I liked the dried cherries that came with it.
I bought a grilled chicken salad at Subway yesterday and pretty much stuck to a lo-cal diet. I did eat 3 -100 packs of cheez it mix. lol So, it is up for question if I was in control of my eating.

I left work 2 hours ealry last night because there wasn't much going on and I was tired from the trip into Portland. Can't make a habit of that though because I need the $$$$$. I just wasn't in the mood to find things to do.

Tomorrow is Rebecca's 16th birthday! Now all she wants is a cell, and my work does offer a discount on Verizon, so I had to promise to look into that for her.

Mindee- Thanks for the FB explaination! Great about getting the water tank fixed finally. :hug: to Tommy and the gall bladder problem, hope you all get some answers on Thursday when you go to the doctors.

Jules- I think I am nervous about getting a tattoo because I don't want to be some old chick with tattoo's all over me. What was hubby playing in the garage? Did you find anything interesting on t.v? I have been watching a lot of Nancy Glass and Larry King, don't stay up much past that time. I have to make it a point to catch the Bachelor next Monday though. I did start watching a little of The Biggest Loser last night but had to stop and get Gaby to bed.

Kathy - Not sure what you are.....lol ...lucky, I think. Good for you on staying stable , especially during the holidays!

Cristina- Come back and chat!

Sue- A very Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!

Hi to everyone else! :wave:

Going to get to the store and do some other errands, chat more later.

Hello everyone

Sue:celebrate::woo::balloons: Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, HHaaapppy Aanniversary. I hope that you have a great one. You have a hubby with a get away spot also? I hope that he is able to put some heat in there so that he can be in there in the winter also.

SusieQ- Happy Birthday to Rebbeca. Wow 16 already. Make sure you look into an unlimited text messaging plan. It amazes me that no one actually talks on their cell phones anymore, they just text. (I have to talk on mine because I have no idea how to text, even though the kids tried to teach me.) Have fun grocery shopping.

Cristina how are you doing? Was Walmart busy? Ours is so stinking busy all the time I hate to even try and drive into the parking lot.
7 lb gain over the holiday is average? Wow I have been working hard on the treadmill lose the 5 lbs from Christmas.

Jules - I love the pictures. Your hair looks great. Is Teri and Dave together? She is beautiful. Is Dominic walking yet? Roxy got her first hair trim last night.

Mindee - glad that your hot water tank is fixed now. Good luck on finding a new place to live. Good luck to Tommy tomorrow at his appointment.

Sassy how are you doing? What have you and your friend been up to lately?

Francie how is your day going? Did you have an appointment today?

Katy our carb counting Queen, how are you doing? Did the kids get back to school? I thought that I read somewhere that you got more snow and school was cancelled on Monday, but don't know if that was your area or not.

Tammy how is life going for you? Any decision about a new car? What have you been doing lately? How are the wedding plans going?

Well I finished my 3 miles in 41:30 yet again. I was really hoping to get even 1 second faster, but I couldn't today. Maybe tomorrow. I'll just keep at it, however even if I don't get any faster I am actually getting on the treadmill and working out everyday. I bought a new digital scale yesterday. Well, I have darts tonight, so I think that I am going to go and have a nap. I'll BBL.
:grouphug:

Hello everyone...

Katy...that sux...2 toms in one month, hope they figure out what's up. I've not had one in such a long time *knocks on wood* I am a happy camper! Although not sure if it is a good trade off sometimes...the mood swings can be dangerous, lol. Actually, lately they've not been so bad. Yes, back to watching the little miss. Love that...myspace for old people...too funny! :lol: I've not spent enough time on FB to figure things out, lol. WTG on the scales! :cp: :high: :bravo:

Kathy...wal-mart actually wasn't so bad...got in and out of there in about 40 minutes. I didn't have a lot to get but was looking a little and it seemed a lot longer! I think I read that somewhere...the 7 pound thing...or saw it on the t.v. :bravo: on the walking! Wonder what's up with the site/computer...for some reason I've not had any problem with it for a couple of days, probably jinxed myself now, lol. Hope it doesn't keep happening.

Susan...forgot to say, I love your avatar...such a beautiful place! Cute about Gaby, too cute! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Rebecca! :hb: :gift: Sweet 16 already...they grow up too fast! Did I miss that you were going to get a tattoo? Or just thinking about it?

Mindee...hoping Tommy gets some relief soon from the gallbladder. And glad you guys have hotwater now!

Francie...hoping all is well with you!

Tammy...you too, hoping all is well with you.

And Sassy too!

Sue...HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and the hubby! :cheers:

I am sooooo sleepy for some reason. Haven't gotten any exercise done today and not sure if I will. I need a nap for sure but it's so late in the day now. Will just have to go to bed early I guess...need to go do a load of laundry and that's about all I have...nothing going on.

Have a good day!

Cristina - Is your iron low? Maybe that is why you are sleepy?? Don't worry I only play a doctor at work. haha
Did I write before that the first time I took Gabster to the sitter (when I started the job and doing the 7am training) that Gaby walked in and told this new sitter that I was a doctor, I guess it was the scrubs I was wearing.lol
Sheesh.....I would love to get a tattoo, just a chicken. I was just making comment about Teri's tattoo in Jules slideshow. Don't you have a tattoo?? I really love Astoria, in the Spring/Summertime it will be a lot nicer but I feel no anxiety here (unlike the city) so that is a huge plus for me.

Kathy - wow to the 41.30 3 mile walk! I could never get that time, only if I was jog/walking. I know, it is all about the texting. And the *family dinner* I planned has turned into just her and 6 close friends going to OSF. Which has set all our noses out of joint because that wasn't what I meant for a dinner out. Could strangle her. lol My scale is a WW, I picked it up when my father passed away, I guess he got it through his insurance when he was ill.

Katy - You enjoying the onslaught of rain?? I give up trying to stay dry today. Thought of you and L as I enrolled Gabster in a swim lesson, it will start next Monday. She is a Minnow, still..........I think it will be her 3rd time as a Minnow, she just loves the water so that is the most important thing. Stay away from the roasted sunflower seeds! If I can't have the honey dijon kettle chips , I want everyone to be miserable. lol -jk

Better go get Gaby from school. I picked up salad stuff from the store and some sugar free jello for Gaby. One good habit she is in is that she likes water.

ok, off to get Gaby and look into the pre paid phone!

Sue~Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things went well with my appt today. My doc is very nice..and I'm soooooooo glad I'm seeing a civilian doc now!!! She actually knew what PCOS was. The Navy doc was like, what is that? Psh. Anyhoo..I will be getting my referral in a few days..and then we'll go from there. YAY!!!

wanted to pop in here while I have the chance.....we went grocery shopping today after we put Brandon on the bus. It went a lot easier then when we have all three kids, so that was a nice change!

I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 223.8 this morning which was GREAT! since last week I weighed in at 226.6, so that is not bad! I also started the liver flush last night, and I am now on day 2 of it. tomorrow will be the last day of it, and one that I am dreading completely!

the liver flush that Tommy was given by his friend, a chiropractor, was to drink 32 ounces of apple cider for three days, then on the third day, drink a 1/2 cup of olive oil, lemon juice and coca cola. So, that will be tomorrow.....plus after I drink that, I am to lay on my right side for a half hour. yesterday went well with with the drinking of the apple cider....but today was a bust while trying to eat dinner.

we had friends over for dinner, and I nicely excused myself and left to use the bathroom. my neighbor had to go to the bathroom, so thankfully the unit above us is still unlocked.....Tommy gave her a roll of toilet paper and she was able to go.

I will let you all know how his appointment goes when he gets back tomorrow. we have been playing a lot of Uno lately, so he just went to the store, so I hope that we can play some more when he gets back.

I have been reading a book called "wasted" that my sister let me borrow. It is a real eye opener about eating disorders and such! I found myself the other night, thinking strangely...at least for me. I was reading the book, and then me and Tommy were sitting on the couch. I got up and he laid down, so when I came back I sat on him. I said "I wouldn't look that bad if I didn't have these thunder thighs." He didn't hear me at first, so I said it again, and he goes "who in the world said that you looked bad?"
