Just a quick Hi for now...was going to post and do indies but Jeopardy came on and have been sitting here watching tv since...with the computer on. Anyway...bad news today...knew the funeral was just the beginning of things to come...join the club Mindee! I don't need or want this crap...anyway...I'll be back either later tonight, much later or tomorrow sometime. Going to go start some baked potatoes and then do an exercise dvd to work some of this frustration/sadness off...maybe.
|
quickee for me..my mom called me today with bad news...she's had a lump on her neck that has been growing, she goes for a catscan on Monday. I am hoping for something simple, but family history has me worried. Her oldest brother Daniel died of Hodgkins lymphoma and her brother Charles is currently in remission of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
I am in worry mode right now and a little scared. |
Mindee, Cristina and Jules...Love and prayers to the three of you. May what looks bad today turn out to be nothing tomorrow. We are here for you. Please keep us posted and we will send good "vibes."
Not much going on here. I did stay OP, so only one day this week with 100 calories over...yay. I was going to take the day off from my WATP, but ended up doing a half work out, just to stay mobile. My desire is to keep moving so if/when I have a day nice enough to ride the bike I am up for it. I remember last year when that first week of riding killed me. We went out for breakfast this morning, which I did well on. I am getting the hang of this....for now. HA. Hope you all have a nice week-end and stay safe. It is supposed to snow here and be icy. |
:hug: to you Mindee, Cristina and Jules. And you too Sue.
I am so sorry that you three are going through a rough time. My love and prayers are going to you guys. Hello to everyone else. :grouphug: |
Hola
Hola Chicks.
http://dl9.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...sc9yht0pvp.gif Went out to dinner lastnight with DH and our friend. Had seafood.....Yummo! :drool: I had King Crab Legs and a cup of the Crawfish Bisque Gumbo. Then I spurlged and had a piece of Pralene Cheesecake!! OMG!!!! It was SOOOO good!!!!! :drool: But ya know I think I over did it because I went to the bathroom after eating and I almost lost my whole meal! :barf: I was like uh uh I am not wasting that food, no puke! no puke! lol. It was just so yummy and I don't have crab that often at all. :no: So I splurged.....:o After that DH and our friend had to head off to work --- ha ha not me! :D So I went to Wally World and shopped alone. I haven't done that in a LONG time and it was nice. I took my time and looked. I didn't even buy that much, but it was just nice to go and look at whatever I wanted however long I wanted! There was a group of very annoying teenagers in there though that were hooting and hollering. I was like, "Lets go hang out at Wal-Mart" :p Geez if I ever was that obnoxious I truly apologize to society! lol. Then I got home, started watching a Lifetime Movie and halfway through realized I had already seen it and it was a sad one and I didn't feel like boo-hooing :cry: so then I got online. lol. In the morning if the weather isn't too bad I am meeting DH for breakfast. We usually go out to breakfast every Saturday morning together, its "our time" together. Then we are going to Costco to get a few things and possibly a few other stores, depending on how tired DH is (he works nights too) I am off but I have been awake the same amount of time as him, only haven't been working, so I shouldn't be as tired, but you never know! lol. We are also going to stop at Whole Foods to get me some Decent Produce. Wal-Marts just looks sad. I figure if I am eating healthy, I want to eat the good stuff! ;) I also bought myself some WW's Yogurt. :carrot: That stuff is the "bomb"!!! :drool: Oh and our next door neighbor who has been such a pain in the rear being so loud with his stereo and all, well he started cursing and yelling Thursday night so loud I could hear it at our computer desk with music on! :o So I called and left a message with the apartment complex. We never complain so the Apartment Manager called bright and early yesterday morning. I guess the owner, who we are on extremely good terms on, is taking care of it. I am so glad! :cp: I don't mind if people have the occasional party or something, but with him its ALL the time and he also has people coming and going at ALL hours of the night, people knocking LOUDLY on his door at all hours then he opens the door and then they leave minutes later. We think he may be a drug dealer. So I hope that they evict him! :p I don't need that! I mean I know we want to move, but it is going to take some time and we have been here a while and our building was so nice and peaceful until he got here! lol. Big :hug: to any who may need it right now. http://dl2.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...vyez89bmqc.gif Mindee -- I feel ya hun. Its rough when things like that hit. I hope Tommy can get his surgery done. DH had to have his out and so I know how painful it can be when your having problems. DH felt instant relief after his was taken out. Can Tommy get Unemployment? I know it doesn't pay as much as regular pay, but that is what helped us get through when DH was let go. Big Big :hug: Hi Kathy!! How are you?? I hope well! How is my buddy, Cole? :D Here is a little something for him: http://dl4.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...c09cb5v7r6.gif I still haven't done any exercising yet. I need to do my WATP's and I also bought a new Workout DVD: Denise Austin "Get Fit Daily Dozen" 12 moves in 12 minutes. ;) I may check that one out just to get the "Ball" rolling! I do have a question for the ones who are doing the WATP's: How long did it take you to get to more than one mile? I want to eventually be able to do the whole DVD (2 miles) twice a day, how long do you think it would take me to get up to that? Also how often do you do it? Everyday? 5 x's a week? 3 x's a week? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Wowsers I have really rambled away this time! :blah: :lol: K I am ending this now! lol. Have a Great Saturday!!! http://dl2.glitter-graphics.net/pub/...mpm32rqruj.gif :hug: |
:hug::hug::hug::hug:Mindee Cristina and Jules...hope today brings better news...
Hi to everyone else! I am getting ready to go to aerobics class so I'll bbl to chat atcha.. |
Sassy- When I did the WATP sporadically I had a hard time passing the 1 mile mark. I would get to 2 miles once in awhile. Now that I am doing it every day I just stayed on 1 mile for 3 days, then up to 2 miles. It kicks my butt to do 3 miles, so I do it just when I feel like I can. I eventually want to do 3 miles every time, but even if it is 2 I figure it is 2 more than I do sitting on the couch. Personally, to start out, if I were you I would be satisfied with a mile for a week . Especially if you plan to do it twice a day...I might even say more than a week because 2 miles a day is good.
I have a 15 minute walking work-out I got from a magazine and I have started doing it for my extra time. Now I want to do 3 miles 5x a week and the 15 minutes everyday. I will be happy... I will pm you the 15 minute walk. You can do it anywhere, even on breaks at work if you want. You and your friend could do it together. I am going to be doing it in the hotel room next week, just so I don't get out of practice. Good luck with however you decide to exercise. It is the hardest thing for me in the winter. Remember to not over-do, but do push yourself a little, and each day it will get easier... ..... just my 2 cents. |
I had the other half of yesterday's breakfast this morning. Yes, I am one of those carry out a box people. I cut my meal in half and take half home most times. Hey, It was a 900 calorie breakfast...and I ate half for basically brunch both days. At least I know exactly what I can have the rest of the day....now to just do it.
Nothing going on here today. We are threatened with ice and snow, so will stay home. I did a load of laundry and will clean the kitchen..nothing major. Probably play games on the computer or read. My eye is still fuzzy, so I can't do either for a long period of time. Happy Saturday to you all. P.S. I got my 5 days of exercise in...have done 6 in a row. I will most likely do a full work-out today and a half Sunday. Or the 15 minutes I was telling Sassy about. I can do it twice a day... |
:hug::hug: to Mindee, Cristina and Miss Jules.
Sending warm thoughts as you all face some tough days. I hope you get some comfort in this group of ladies, I know I have when I have gone through difficult times. Sometimes I don't always say everything I have been going through but it helps a lot to just come in and chat about weight and plain silly stuff. I am at work so only have a split second. Gabster was suppose to go to PDX w/ her father this weekend. Poor thing. I think she is worn out from last weekend but she did have 2 weeks off, I just think she is coming down w/ a sore throat. Sue - was going to say that the snow pic is pretty! :wave: to Sassy & Katy and everyone else. No salad today, didn't make it to the store last night. I guess I could make it for dinner. anyway, feel good about eating this week. Hope for a good wi on Monday. best get!! :wave: |
thanks for all the nice words and hugs ladies.....
hugs and good vibes to all the other ladies that need them! we are managing now....Tommy goes next Friday for his surgery so that will be done and over with. we will know what time next Thursday when the nurse calls.....as for unemployment, he filed and has to call on Monday to see if he gets it. so, cross anything you possible can that we can get that so we have something coming in to help out our situation. |
Hello ladies...
JULES...lots of hugs to you and your momma. :hug: :hug: Will definitely say a prayer for her. MINDEE...hugs to you SUSAN...hope Gaby feels better soon. Don't work too hard! SUE...WTG on the 6 days! You are doing great! KATY...hope ya got in a good workout! FRANCIE...hoping all is well with you. KATHY...hoping all is well with you as well. SASSY...glad you guys had a nice dinner. I did manage to get some exercise done, just 70 minutes...wanted to do 90 but then got lazy and sidetracked. Haven't done any today and I hate that. Not sure I will either. It's too late in the day and I don't want to play catchup so I don't know. Of course my plan for the day was to sleep in, exercise, read and then be lazy. Josh and the fam came over last night to see how the vet visit went and visited a while and Chase invited us to his basketball game this morning. So we went to that, got back about 12:30 and had some lunch and then her I sit on the computer. In between watching Apocalypto (sp?) wasn't so bad after all. That's about all I have...hope everyone is having a good Saturday. |
thought I would pop in and see who else has posted.....
none of the kids are napping, BUT Tommy is......how does that work out? I am going to make Cowboy Spaghetti for dinner.....we invited a friend of ours over since he is going through a rough patch himself.....when I talked to him last night he was going to think about it, but I haven't heard if he is going to come over or not. It has been snowing all day long, and doesn't look like it is going to stop anytime soon. I probably should go on one of the local news stations websites to see what it is saying...... we are in trouble now......Marissa has figured out how to get her leg up to the top of the side railing......so it won't be much longer before she hops on over! we were talking last night, and we are thinking of just turning her bed into a toddler bed and just have to deal with her getting out of her bed. The side railing is barely hanging on because she shakes the heck out of the railing....so I might have Tommy switch in either tonight or tomorrow. |
I am off work! Yay, one more day and I get a day off. Am I the only single lady here?? Maybe Asia, right?? Did anybody hear from her over the holidays? Mindee- You deserve some good news on Monday w/ the unemployment, I hope it all works out for you guys. :hug::hug::hug: Good to hear that Tommy will get the gallbladder taken care of while he still has insurance. Same thing happened w/ my root canal, but I couldn't get an appt for a follow up until after insurance ran out, so I had 1/2 a canal done. :D Cristina - You are kind of slacking w/ that 70 minutes of exercise, what will we do w/ you??? haha- jk. I didn't work too hard, it was a nice day at work. Tomorrow I might have bio to deal w/ so it could be a little busier, I just hate bio. I am reading Seeing Myself Naked by Liza Palmer (???) I just started it so don't know much about it. Tonight though w/ Gaby gone I will have a chance to read. Sue- Impressed w/ your 6 days in a row too! Good for you. What was the breakfast that you ordered??? I love breakfast food. :hun: Jules - :hug: hope you are having a good day. Sassy - Have fun w/ all that shopping! I need to go to the store too and stock up on salad stuff. Kathy & Katy - Hope you guys are having a great Saturday too! Hi to Francie,Tammy & Asia! :wave: Off to the store and some grocery shopping. I miss Gaby, she is just my best buddy. I feel bad because she didn't even want to go and wasn't feeling well. I wish I would have put my foot down and asked if they would not make that trip into Portland. *sigh........anyway, going to relax and read tonight. Chat later. |
Good Evening Ladies!!
Geez, gone a week and the place is falling apart again. I'm not saying this jokingly (is that a word?) I am so sorry that many of you are having rough times. Mindee: You sure have your share of difficult times. I wish you were near so I could give you a hug. I'm glad that Tommy is having his surgery. Keep your chin up hun. :hug: Francie: Now you girlie....you are close enough to hug. You need to pm me and get my phone number and call me when things are getting you down. I'm only 10 min away. Good luck on your doc appt and referral. Katy: OMG...you must be so proud of dh!! It would have been great for you to have visited. There are no hotels available for miles around. They have been booked for months. Of course, there is always my comfy guestroom with your own private bath, plush down comforter, desk, TV etc. If only you could come. :^: Cristina: I'm now an official MIL. Have been a step-mom for 11 yrs and just now getting along with my step-d. She needed to grow up a bit. I just bit my tongue for years with her. Now my DIL....hmmm. I believe she wears the pants in that family. I just try to not get involved. But wait.....she is now pregnant....it might just change my attitude. Hey to everyone else, Sassy, Sue, Jules, Kathy, Susan...I'm sure I'm missing someone. I guess you've read my remark to Cristina...yes, I'm going to be a Grandmom!!! :carrot: It must have been a wedding night conception. Not what they had planned and it has taken them about a week to get over the shock and a little bit of disappointment. They really wanted to wait a few years. Baby is due Aug 14th. I've been knee deep into wedding plans with dd. We spent several hrs on Wed going over all the little details and we've both have been non-stop emailing ideas and/or calling each other. It's exhausting but also fun. Hopefully will be meeting with the caterer this week to go over the long list of questions with them. Finishing up guest list and working on invites, table centerpieces, favors, candy buffet, wine bottle labels etc. The list goes on and on. Spent the day at step-d's apt. delivering her new TV and setting it all up. Rushed home (1 1/2hr drive) to watch the Raven's game and listened to dh scream for nearly 4 hrs till they won the game :carrot: Went back to WW last Wed and gained 4 lbs. Not so bad really. I felt like it was 10. Back on track and feeling mentally good. Not so much physically....my asthma has been horrible this past week. I see my pulmonary doc every 3 months and, of course, not sched for several weeks. Just might have to give him a call. He'll put me on steriods. Not what I want to start on while trying to start dieting again. But hey.....I gotta breathe!!! Speaking of breathing, need a hit of my inhaler then going to take a long shower and turn in early. Missed you guys this past week. Take care! :hug: |
Hey all..just poppin in to make sure everyone is still well and kickin.
Plus, I wanted to come in and share my new workout news. Fonzo & I are gonna be working out at the gym every other day..and walking on the days we arent at the gym. And if we dont, then no tv time or book buying for us. And no video games for him. I hope this works for the both of us. |
