Cristina--Ry is going to stay she says she will get anger management for the temper..we will see...finding out she's actually the abusive one in the relationship (mentally and physically)..she's ok with the baby though..Ryan says she is a good mom...just a bad girlfriend...

Hope everyone is well...my life is so crazy...Bob says he will give me a week to get Teri settled in to her new place and then I need to help him at moms again...YIKES!!!

Sassy--that is one awesome job your hubby has and what fun to get to go on trips with him.

well...I finally had my breakdown yesterday...started crying and couldn't stop...I am going to go for some counseling but it will be a few weeks so I went to the walk in clinic and got a perscripiton to try and keep it under control.

Hey Jules,

Thanks and yes indeed I'm excited! So sorry that you had a breakdown, but its probably good for you to get those feelings out. I hope you can get some counseling soon and hope you feel better. Just know we're all here for you.

Big Super

Hey chickies...I am alive and well. Glad to see some of you here.
Mom went to PA with family for the week so I planned to spend quality time with DH Welllll...Wed. my back went OUT. Boy have I been in pain. Thurs. was a little better, but still nasty. It has gotten some better every day, so I am sure I will survive.
Fri. and Sat. we had some family get-togethers which were fun. I just have to move gingerly and take extra time getting up and down. (and forget rolling over in bed...ugh)
So today is lazy day....probably tomorrow also. Tues. we want to go out of town for the day, so I am trying to get myself together. The hour ride Fri. and Sat. didn't bother me, so should be okay.
Of course, I stopped bike riding, but did manage to walk some last night. Have put the weights aside too...but did do a walking video. Just can not twist and turn.
Hopefully everything goes back to normal in another day or two.

Jules- Hugs, hugs and more hugs to you......

Sassy- How much fun will it be to take trips?? When my DH was in a certain position at his job we got to go on a trip every year. We had to pay for my air fare and that was it. Since he had his room paid, and they did meals which spouses could join in on we didn't even have to buy meals. Had some great times in Miami, Palm Springs and New Orleans. He also went to Chicago, San Diego and Dallas. I guess I had obligations with my son, who was still at home or something cause I missed those trips. We went to Palm Springs twice and that was my fav. trip...so much fun.

Okay...gotta go finish reading the Sunday papers and get my "laze" on....
Good times to all....

Just dropping by to say HI

Really pooped...road trip to OK tired me out...lot of driving but glad to be home. This is definitely a busy month and already tired of the driving...next weekend, BD party, wedding and fair. Then trip to AR, Susan Komen run the Saturday after and in between Lily's BD...can't believe she is going to be ONE already! Where has the time gone?

Tomorrow is WI and I probably won't bother...bout ready to quit anyway.

Jules...lots of hugs to you.

Sassy...glad the hubby is loving his job!

Sue...hope you are feeling better.

I am pooped so going to go relax and maybe get some reading done...will probably fall asleep.

Cristina--proud of you for doing the race, sorry about your back thats never fun

Sassy--thanks

My nano is charged, have no kids today, not sure how that happenned..going to go for my first run in I don't know how long. The weather is gorgeous!!

HAPPY LABOR DAY, MONDAY!

JULES...you are a sweetie and thank you. Not sure why I put run though, I'm walking it, lol. I would love to run but it KILLS me! We had a team of 14 but as we suspected the closer it got/gets to the walk we've not heard from many...we are down to 6. How are you doing? I agree with Sassy on the breakdown...it's a good thing. I almost lost it a couple of days ago thinking about my dad...it's coming up on a year since he's been gone. But with his death has come a lot of other stuff that has been continuous which makes it very hard to move on. Anyway...lots of hugs to you lady Enjoy your run!

Hello to everyone else...SUE, SUSAN, MINDEE, KATY, KATHY, SASSY, FRANCIE and, and...why does it always seem like I am forgetting someone? HI

Okay, so I did WI, ugh...not as bad as I thought it would be but still not great. Up to 192.2 one step forward, two steps back. I guess it could be worse so...road trips are he*l especially when there are not real restaurants to eat at.

Won't get my walk in unless I decide to do the treadmill but I am going to do a dvd. It's too windy to walk outdoors and my lazy arse slept in so no mall. Can't do weights for a week, or until I am done with the meds I am taking. Went to the doc for my yearly, healthy as a horse but my arm had been killing me for a while. She gave me...can't remember the name of it but it's basically a really strong dose of ibuprofen and told me no weights while I take it and see what happens. Arm is better of course and I don't think the weights were aggravating it but whatever. Of course not sure what will happen after the 10 days...we'll see.

Man, looking at a commvercial with Jennifer Hudson and she is looking GOOOOD! I didn't realize she had lost so much weight...makes me want to do WW!

Anyway...have laundry to do, some reading and get some exercise done...feeling too lazy!

Take care ladies and I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Love ya

Cristina--somedays I feel its continuous and never stopping here, but somehow move one, my allergies are killing me..it's 7:15 and I am ready for bed...I mean seriously...

Love you all!!

Hello to my fave ladies!!!! Guess who is back? LoL!! I was sitting here thinking that I miss my 3FC chickies!!! How is everyone doing?? Things with me S-U-C-K!!! I'm tired of Maryland, and I want to LEAVE this state asap!!! LoL!! Hope you all are doing good :bighug:

I miss my 3fc/BIK chickies too

1st day of school for Gaby this morning,summer has been busy,busy with her. She wore me out.

Jules- Hope you feel better w/ the allergies.

ok, some smelly man sat next to me,,,,,I don't do well w/ smells. I need to go. Getting mad. lol

I have like 11 pounds I want to lose, same weight,different time. I do try but I notice a lot of night eating. Bored or something.

anyway, will chat later......the smell icky.

pfft................heck if I am 155.....lol....I am 161 today.

Helllloooo chickies.

Glad to see people gravitating back here....like me. LOL
DH and I just got back from an overnight away from home. Fun and togetherness, all good. Mom got back from her trip yesterday. She did not get sick while gone and really enjoyed herself. I am so glad and relieved that she had a good time and got to be with her siblings. They are all elderly and never know when they can get together again.

My back went out big time on Wed. of last week so I spent a few days being pretty careful and using the heating pad. It was Sun. before it was totally ok. UGH...but I am sure glad I didn't go on mom's trip with her...I would have been miserable.

Okay...back to trying to be healthy. I will be hitting the street tonight for a walk or ride. Actually walked a lot yesterday and this a.m. so I am ready to go. Going to pick up the weights and start from the beginning also.
The one big FOOD thing I told DH earlier...no more DEEP FRIED anything. No more french fries, fried chicken strips, etc. He is on board, so we will see how long this lasts. Our biggie also..NO more buffets. Everywhere we travel buffets are a down fall...no more! Even though I try to do well and eat salads, soup, etc. from buffets HE eats terrible from them...so we are gonna quit that.
I am in desperate need of a makeover.....a body makeover. I feel like it is harder at my age, but I am not ready to throw in the towel.

Okay....enough of that. Glad ya'll are doing okay and hugs to everyone here. Let's come back often!

Hello all...

Just a quickie for me, it's late and I hardly seem to have time on the computer. What little bit I get in is spent on FB, yeah, I know, lol. Working on posting here more. Will chat more and catch up tomorrow night or Friday when I won't have baby, or I don't think I will. Josh works 4 10 hour days so I get Friday off but they have some stuff going on and he's trying to get a car so may have her part of the day while he takes care of business. Anywho...love ya

This site is soooooo slow.Is it that way for anyone else?? I mean I gained and lost just waiting for it to load....haha,whatever.

Sue - Glad to hear your mom is doing well,wondeful that she was able to go on a trip to see her siblings.
I usually avoid the deep fried foods, I do sneak french fries from Gaby's Kids Meals but that doesn't count. ha. Anyway, hope the back feels better.

Cristina - Your Lily is soooooooo cute, you are so lucky to get to spend time w/ her. I wish I had a baby to be around.

Jules - How are you?? How are the allergies? Gab & I kind of had alittle bit of that a few weeks ago but it passed after a few days. Hugs to you.

Sassy - congrats to your hubby and his training, sounds great

I better get busy. I have a few errands to get done before work, work til Sunday. Gab was going back to Portland w/ her father after being there for 8 days. I wisj he wouldn't do that but he is the sitter this weekend. I guess I get to go party?? ha, like I ever do that. I am old,I'll be in my pj's by 5pm. lol

Anyone watch House Hunters?? I love that show,

to Katy, Kathy,Francie, and Mindee!!!

chat more later

Hi BIK Ladies!

How are you all? I hope well. Its been cooler here lately which is good but still no rain. We got a downpour of rain for like 5 minutes and that was it, not enough to do us any good.

I think most all of you replied to me the same thing so I will just reply to everybody all in one --

Yes it is great that I get to travel with DH. I honestly do think its for some reason what I'm supposed to do because I still haven't gotten a job yet. Not that I stopped looking or nothing, but just haven't gotten anything yet. So I think its a sign. lol.

I started my W.A.T.P DVD again. Its tough to get back into. But I WI and gained 2 pounds so figure I better get back on it..........

Nothing much else happening here.

Big Jules

Back Miss Francie!

Cristina -- hope you get some time to get things done, Baby Lily keeps you busy!

Sue -- Ouchie! I hope your back heals fast. I can sympathize. Right now its not my back, its my elbow, it is KILLING me! I am thinking I have to go see an Orthopediest. Yeah DH and I could use a body makeover for sure as well!

Suzy Q -- Did you get away from your smelly man? lol. Smell is a strong sense. I mean they tell ya when your trying to sell your house to bake bread because it is proven that the smell of fresh baked bread helps your house get sold sooner!

I hope your all well.
