shari - no we didn't get to see it. I'm hoping we'll catch it this weekend. What's happening in July?

wendy - Hi!

aimee - that sucks about the job offer. But I'm sure you can work out something with them. If not, then I'm sure you'll find something that pays what you are looking for. It's always good to keep moving. The wii is a friend to your heart!

I had a really good weekend. I'm eating way less than what I normally do and moving more. Got up to half an hour on the elliptical Saturday and Sunday and I have no plans to slow down my roll.

I was down 2.6 pounds for the week! Woo hoo! See, hard work does pay off. I'm anxious to see how much I can lose.

you guys have to try these!. I'm not doing weight watchers but figured they're better for you than regular brownies. They taste so good!! Seriously, try them! (thank you courtnie for introducing me to that site!! )

Another good day under my belt!! Woo hoo! Only got in 20 mins on the elliptical tho. I'll have to start working out as soon as I get home from work.

Saw that movie Taken. What a disappointment! It was so lame.

Ro - I thought Taken was a really good movie. Even my BF agreed and he hates everything I pick out! lol

courtnie - really??? I don't know...me and the bf heard from some people that it was good but when we watched it....I didn't like it. From the acting to the over-the-top arse kicking Liam Neeson does. It had a lot of potential to be a good movie. I really liked the story but the acting IMO messed it up. Good to hear from you!!!!

Hi everyone! Just checking in...again! LOL! I might..ok I will probably be away from here for a little while, my BF is coming to town on Thursday and we'll be heading out to the lake and getting other stuff done around here, as well as actually spending some time together!! I'm so excited, it's been 7 weeks since we've seen each other.
Catch up to you all later...I'll be on FB if you wanna chat!

Shari - That was shorter than I thought! It looks like a good cut, how do you normally style it? And when you say press it... what does that mean? Like flat iron? What's the pushup challenge? I could use some nicer arms... please share! The pay has be resolved! I am pleased to say that I managed to get more money! They are going to keep my wage as it is for 1 year, and when that year is up.. I plan to be a cosmetics manager, and I'll be making more than my current wages anyways. Winnipeg, the place we are going, is 1450 miles, so pretty far!

Rosario - I do enjoy the wii, I just don't really use it enough I would kill for an elliptical!! Sooo jealous of you right now! Congrats on the weight loss

So now that everything is done with, it's time to start packing and calling the movers to arrange everything! I am excited, and still nervous, I am going to Winnipeg in a couple of weeks to find a place, hopefully I can find something great, and within our budget! My weight loss, well, there isn't much of one, got on the scale again, and it was up to 262 again, next day 259, been keeping my diet the same, I wonder if it's the stress? Josh and I were fighting on Saturday, and Sunday was the day I was up to 262. Stupid weight! Gotta get my act together if I plan to get to 249 before the end of the month! But I ate great yesterday, and even better today! And with the stress of fighting with Josh gone, hopefully I'll be able to hit my goal! I'm just babbling now..

This is me kicking my scale.. darn you body! I am at 259! But I am still refusing to change my ticker, because I WILL be 257 by Saturday!

-Aimee

wedny - have lots of fun with the boytoy!!

aimee - I was lucky with the elliptical. I found it in our subdivision. It was with someones discards, but we cleaned it up and it works marvelously! I was reading a review about the EA Sports Active Wii game...it looks like a really good workout. Congrats on getting more money. Good job on eating right. If that's about the only thing you can control right now, then you better make sure you do a good job. Hope your stress levels go down as you get more into the move.

I've been doing good so far. I shouldn't have stepped on the scale this morning. It's the same as my last weigh in, but I was expecting it to be lower since I'm still eating right and working out. Kind of discouraging, but I shouldn't be concentrating on that. All I should care about is what the scale says on my ACTUAL weigh in day which is Saturday or Sunday. Being discouraged is a very risky thing for me to be feeling. Makes it easier to mess up!

Rosario - that is very lucky!! Josh bought me "my personal trainer" for my wii today, it looks pretty good! I am going to try it out on Saturday, they have different goals for it, which is very cool, obviously I am going for weight loss! Josh said he'd trade in some games of his for the EA sports thing, nice of him.. so I might look into that as well. With all of that I BETTER start working out! The scale can be so evil sometimes, STAY OFF OF IT! Just think though, because your weight stayed the same from WI day, it's official.. I know mine jumps around 1-2 pounds daily.. so the fact you are exactly the same is REALLY good!

Shari - I think the pushups one looks good! I might look into that some more later.. I know I can't do any "boy" pushups, but I can normally do 5-10 of the girly ones! I straighten my hair almost every day, I was considering getting one of those japanese straighten-thingies, they are supposed to last 6-8 months.. but are SO expensive. Congrats on being an aunty! And being a bridesmaid! Make sure you keep up those pushups, most bridesmaids dresses I've seen at strapless, gotta look good!

I had another pretty good day of eating, when I got home from work I ate a burrito, but I put low fat sour cream on it? If I were counting calories, I would have ended up within my calorie range... so its all good! I hate working a closing until 10pm and the next morning at 8:30am, I can't seem to fall asleep when I get home (which is why I'm on here), and the next day I am SO tired! I am looking forward to the weekend, I have Saturday and Sunday off, my mom is coming to town Saturday afternoon, so it'll be busy, but at least I can sleep in! Well my sleeping pill is starting to kick in, so I am off to bed! Nite!

-Aimee

It's Saturday! Weighed in! 259.0 again! I dunno why I feel like a deserve more, but I was soooo good that I thought I would lose. Anyways, I have a migraine, so in some ways it makes sense. Ah well, gotta keep at 'er! My mom arrives today, so its going to be a few days of hard food decisions! She loves to eat bad when she's away from home..

-Aimee

Hey all!
Well my honey is heading back home as I type, he left this morning and still has about a 4-5 hour drive ahead of him. Missing him like I do seems like a good reason to binge but so far I've been strong! He'll be back in a month for the wedding and will stay a couple weeks!

Been good foodwise, staying away from the junk for the most part, will have to do a weigh in soon.

As for the "boy" push ups I seem ok with them, I can do about 30 before I drop, never been able to do them before childbirth but now not so much of a problem....weird!

Well, off to bed, been an emotional day, and sleep will stop my head from spinning those missing him thoughts temporaraly.
Night all!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around. I keep forgetting to post. My eating has been really bad but I've been doing pretty good on the work outs. Never at the same time!! Grr! Oh well, still working on that!

Down 0.2 for the week. So happy it wasn't a gain!!

wendy - stay strong!

shari - congrats on going to the gym. squats are our friend! Hurray for new computers!!!

aimee - moms, always the bad influences. lol hope you made some good decisions!
