GOOD THURSDAY MORNING. I NEED ANOTHER DAY OF DOING NOTHINGI THINK, THIS MUST BE THE CRASH AT THE END OF ALL THESE PROJECTS. I THINK THE ELECTION LAST WEEK ENDING AT 9:30 THAT NIGHT PUSHED ME OVER THE LIMIT. AFTER THAT, IT WAS ALL DOWNHILL :FLOW2: THE WEATHER IS GETTING WARMER AND I HOPE TO GET OUTSIDE TOMORROW AND THE WEEKEND. THE KIDS MIGHT GO TO THE TRAILER AND GET TO SPRING CLEANING FOR THE KIDS. THE MONTHS ARE FLYING BY.
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY :moped:


MICHELLE...PRAYING FOR YOUR SCALE TO MOVE BEFORE YOU START JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON IT AND TOSS IT OUT THE WINDOW :tantrum: JUST A TEENY TINY BIT OF ADVICE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS...WHEN YOU EXERCISE EVERY DAY WITHOUT BREAKS...THE MUSCLES BECOME INFLAMED AND THE BODY WILL HOLD ON TO THE FLUID IT MAKES TO SOOTHE THE MUSCLES. IT IS A GIVEN FACT IN EVERYONE'S BODY. THAT FLUID WEIGHS IN ON THE SCALE ALONG WITH YOU!!! SENDING A HUG:hug:


HAPPY.....GLAD YOU GT SOME GOOD BIRTHDAY ATTENTION!! WE ALL CAN USE A SPECIAL DAY AND GET OUT WITH HUBBY AND FRIENDS. :dance: I AM SO VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE MACULAR DEGENERATION. HOPE YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF THOSE PEEPERS. WATCH YOUR SUGAR AND COMPUTER TIME AS WELL. LIVING IN THIS BUILDING, I AM NO STRANGER TO THAT DISORDER. YOU AND I WILL NEED TO BE KINDER TO OUR BODIES FROM TOP TO BOTTOM :hug:


LAURA...HOW IS THE DRIPPY TAP??? HOPE THE PROJECT WAS DONE BEFORE YOU GOT HOME AND HAD TO "HEAR" IT :rofl: I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT MOST MEN ARE FROM THE SAME MOLD. WHAT EXACTLY WAS GOD THINKING??? :lol3: :lol3: EASY FOR ME TO SAY...I LIVE ALONE!!! :rofl: :rofl: AS FOR MY FRIDGE....I KEPT MY OLD ONE. IT'S ONLY 2 YRS OLD AND MUCH BIGGER THAN THE PIECE OF CRAP THEY OFFERED ME. THE NEW ONE WAS FOR THE HANDICAPPED APARTMENTS...SO IT WAS SHORT, SMALL AND TINY INSIDE. RIDICULOUS. I AM HAPPY WITH THIS BIG ONE THAT JOHN GAVE ME. SO NO NEW THINGS FOR MELLIE.

Happy Thursday ladies -

I didn't do anything for cardio exercise after work other than up and down stairs doing laundry. However, I did 50 crunches and two 30 second planks. I also went on a 2 mile very brisk walk on my lunch hour. The carpenter finished his work yesterday, which looked good. The house is all ready to be scraped, sanded, caulked and then painted; that will probably start next week.

Today is weigh in and I'm hoping for a miracle. It would be SO wonderful if I could just lose the 1.5 lbs to get me to my 10% weight loss milestone. Tonight, I'm going to do some strength training, Zumba and probably some extra cardio. I may also try using 1 pound hand weights with some of the Zumba songs - some Zumba instructors use light weights in a few of their routines.

Mel - I love the tulip graphic!! Our tulips are in FULL BLOOM and beautiful!! I love the spring flowers!! And in another month, we should be past frost and able to plant more flowers and some veggies. Don't worry about me throwing the scale out the window...the room where we have WW doesn't have any windows! :rofl: I'm really glad to hear you're taking another relaxing day. You sure have earned a bit of rest. Thanks for the hug and the reminder about fluid retention. I think I need to attach Laura's drippy tap to my body to drain all that out. :lol3:

That's all for me for now....I'll check in later!

Here's to a great day for all of us! The weekend is getting nearer! :woohoo:

Love and many hugs,

Thank you all ladies....I feel very fortunate to have all of you. I have my moments, tomorrow (Friday th 30th) will be hard as it is the funeral. I feel your love, prayers and hugs as I don't think I could of remained this together without you all. Love to you all. Annie

Morning everyone,
There's not much going on in my corner of the world. Work this past week was good. The weather has been perfect. Who could ask for any thing more.

Annie
Just saw your post. May God grant you peace through out this time in your life. You are in my thoughts daily. Hugs.

Happy
So sorry to hear the you have the beginning of Macular Degeneration. I do wear my sun glasses every time I'm outside now. I should get a big floppy hat. My oldest sister has retinitispigmentosa. Her vision is more or less tunnel vision now but she is a trooper and never complains. One of my coworkers has tunnel vision and she does well.

Ceejay - Glad work and the weather are both fine. :)

Annie - We are here for you, and sending you love, hugs and prayers to help you through this difficult time. :hug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug: :hug:

I Did It!! I Did It!! I Did It!! I Did It!! I Did It!!
 

Hi everyone!!!

I DID IT!! I DID IT!! I DID IT!! I DID IT!! I DID IT!!

I achieved my 10% weight loss with Weight Watchers!! :woohoo:

When I saw the scale, I couldn't believe it, especially after yesterday's scale saying I gained. Then I started jumping up and down, screaming and hugging my friends that were in line behind me!

:woohoo: :dancer: :dancer:

I am MOST DEFINITELY on :cloud9:

Okay, Shad.....what's the secret surprise?!!

I'm so grateful for all of your friendship and support!

INTRODUCING A NEW THREAD MEMBER

The Worldlies have adopted a Little Blue (Fairy) penguin. It's called Wordly the penguin fat chick and I shall attach a picture of him and his adoption papers at the end of this post. I can scan the picture and send him as an email if you can't see him so well in this post.

Anyway, we have adopted him for a year. We should get updates on how he is going and news articles about the Fairy Penguin colony fairly regularly.

Hope that was a good gift for being very clever Michelle.

Back later for personals. Better get some dinner before the backbone starts eating the ribs.

Um, that doesn't look too clear. I'll try again shortly.
