This has been one emotional day from ****!!! I just saw a friend's entire life go up in flames. I feel so terrible for her. :( I dunno what else to say. I guess I just needed to get that out..

Good Monday morning, all!

Well, I got my walk in at the mall, 50 minutes. Going to do a 30 or 40 minute dvd later...when Lily naps most likely, or after she goes home. I swear my body feels worse after. Aren't we supposed to feel better? Anyway, it's done.

FRANCIE...so sorry to hear about your friend. Lots of hugs to you and especially her :hug:

Hi to everyone else :wave:

Going to go make a new ticker with todays weight...WI was at 192, not as bad as I thought after all the cookies yesterday, ick!

Francie - :hug: to you. Sorry about the friend, hope she is ok.

Sue - Yes, all the policemen are after me. Gaby was cute she mumbles under her breath as he walks up to the car "you're buckled" trying to reassure me or something. I finally learned that lesson. lol Nice to hear you had some good family time. Becky and I had the best visit at the laundromat when I was in town.

Cristina- Pizza is evil. I love it. Had the neighbor bring up carrot cake from a birthday party, nibbled some and threw the rest away. I went to Costco and stopped at every sample table......lol You are my hero if you can have pizza and cheesebread in your house.....I would be having the shakes like a drug addict with the excitement of indulging my little lard a$$ self.... lol anyway,sounds like you are doing good. What site is the ticker from???

:wave: to everyone!!

My day off....and it is pretty decent out. Weekend at work was fast, nice to get some extra money. Hope I can swing some contacts this Friday when I get my child support. No school on Thursday/Friday. Ugh.

Quickie...doing laundry and changing beds..Monday chores.

WI was down 1/2 pound. Whew! I thought I would be up thanks to the birthday fare. I woke up rather sore from exercising and weights..don't know why all the sudden I am sore, but oh, well. :)

Hello again...

SUSAN...Gaby is funny, and cute! I really am not a big fan of pizza for some reason...I like it once in a while and the most 2 slices. It's the freaking breadsticks that get me. Hope you enjoyed your day off! The ticker is one from here...I am too lazy and don't want to have to go the extra mile to another site to post, lol. Lazy I tell ya, lazy, lol.

SUE...WTG on the 1/2 pound! :woohoo: Getting ready to start a load of laundry myself here in a few minutes. I don't even try to do much of anything when Lily is here. May be different if the laundry room wasn't in the basement.

HI to everyone else again!

Did my dvd...2 mile Slim and Thin for a grand total of 4 1/2 miles walked today. My body is sore too Sue! I swear the more I exercise the worse it feels. But it feels the same if I don't so...have a good evening!

Oh wow..this was one of those mornings..I knew I shouldn't get on the scales, but just HAD to. I felt like I was sooo good yesterday I wanted to check. You know the feeling?
I was down from yesterday...just under 2 pounds....for a total in 2 weeks of 5.3 pounds.
I go back for my blood work tomorrow and I will weigh on their scales just to check it out. I know exactly what I weighed on them 2 weeks ago.
Man if I had not gained the weight by sitting on my tush all of June and July .....*sigh*

Anyway..going for a hair cut and groceries later. My step-son will be here tonight from CA and staying in the area for 2 weeks. He has a few "home cooked" meals he wants. So gotta stock up. :) Then to plan a family dinner while he is here. Should be fun.

Question for you Cristina since you do weights...should I do the hand weights every day or alternate? I am only using 3 pounds so far and keep upping the reps. (daughter does 8 pounds..yikes!) My other exercises have been the WATP's and just walking in place during commercials on t.v. haha..hey, it gets me up and moving. Can't do lunges or squats I have found, they hurt my knees. Finally read about NOT doing them with bad knees. duh.

Hope you all have a good day and feel super.

I hate to exercise, I so do not even want to go there.....

Sue- congrats on the weight loss!!! :carrot: Have a good day.

Cristina - I love the crust on pizza and the inch of melted cheese...and maybe some olives...I can almost taste it as I type. What a sick puppy I am. lol

I am back to work today. 1 day on and tomorrow off....promised Gaby a movie after school tomorrow. Something w/ talking owls?? Anything w/ animals that kid will go for....ha.

WI was 158.4 - 4oz's down from Sunday. lol Obsessed mode...gotta love it when I am not hating it....anyway, it is better watching it go down. If it creeped any closer to 170 I was going to have a nervous breakdown.

What?? You think I need counseling?? pfft...lol

anywho...need to go make my salad and get to work!!

:wave:

Hello There from Wisconsin!
 

Hello there from Wisconsin!! (For now at least!! LOL)

We decided to go home today instead of tomorrow. DH has a 1/2 day of class then has a meeting then we're leaving. He is sick and now I think I'm starting to get it. Its a stomach thing. I woke up lastnight with SEVERE stomach cramps! Luckily they passed and I fell back asleep! BUT UGH! :p


Francie -- I don't get why women like that are still walking around with no broken bones! Because I'm sure somewhere a long the line they are gonna meet a woman who is gonna just beat the crap outta them! lol. Yeah even DH's instructor thought it was weird that she called us!! lol. UGH so sorry that your Bones disk is scratched! You could always go to a local store that you know sells it and just exchange it. They have to send it back anyways. That would save you having to send it back. Just a thought! So sorry your feeling that way, but I think we have all felt that way from time to time. Like Suzy Q said your always welcomed here anytime! :hug: So sorry to hear about your friend!! I hope things get better for her!


Jules -- I think most men are completely clueless about it and that is probably why those kind of women keep doing it because they get away with it. Your job sounds a lot like my ex job. I wasn't a "YES" person either (obviously) lol. I hate jobs like that but the people there are the only thing that gets you through sometimes, oh yes and the paycheck! lol.

Cristina -- That is what I did, just ignored it. Because sometimes I know they do it to get a "Rise" out of the signicant other. We told my cousin that we just didn't have the money right now. Well I told her Mom and her Mom was glad that we said that. She said that it was her daughters problem and let her figure it out. So I'm glad we made the right decision.
Glad you had fun at the concert. :congrat: on Josh's Job!! :) Your sons themed dinners sounds awesome!!! Maybe DH and I will have to try doing that!! Great Idea! :D Your sounding a lot like me. Since I've been on vacation I haven't put on my make up or fixed my hair once! LOL. I brush my hair and that is about as good as it gets!! LOL. I think I'll do that goal with ya, if ya don't mind! :) I love victorian houses! So pretty!! Pizza is my weakness and so are cookies!! lol. Good for you getting your walk in -- and getting 4.5 miles! Woohoo!

Suzy Q -- WTG on the 158.4! :woohoo: Sorry I "spilled the beans" about your Hawaii Vacation on FB!! LOL!! I can understand obsessed. I think we all can!! lol.

Sue -- Sounds like you had a "Grand" Sunday!! lol. Glad your stir-fry was good! WTG on the weightloss!! I hope I don't gain any from being on Vacation!! I am looking forward to going home and eating some home cooking instead of take out or heat up meals!! lol.


Ok I think I am all caught up now. lol. Well I haven't been eating well here, but I haven't walked so much probably in my life!! lol. I haven't walked yet today, but I've walked every other day since!! :carrot: I am going to try to continue when I am home and strive to eat better!! lol.

Well I guess that is all from me.

Oh and P.S. One day we went to a Lighthouse here and it was about 7 flights up! I made it all the way up except I didn't go out on the little thingy where the light was. (too chicken) But I made it all the way up and all the way down!! YAY! :cp:

:hug:

Hello everyone :wave:

SUE...no idea on the weights, I am no expert. I usually do 3-5 pound ones 2 or 3 times a week when I do them. I've done any since going to the doc and she told me not too for 10 days to see how my arm would be after not doint them! Using that to be lazy, lol. GREAT job on the loss! :carrot:

SASSY...be careful on your drive home! And thank you! I love lighthouses, so pretty. Stairs...not so much. It doesn't matter how much I exercise the stairs ALWAYS kill me! Good for you for going to the top! :carrot:

SUSAN...I feel the same way about exercise, ugh! But I still do it, want to be half-arsed fit in my old age. Hope you and Gaby enjoy the movie!

So didn't get a walk in or a dvd...so much for goals and plans eh? This week was a really stupid week to start anyway since I am off to Arkansas on Thursday till Sunday. I do plan on walking while there. This morning though I woke up feeling sick. Before I even got up my stomach felt like it was burning, not bad but it still bothered me. Then I got up and ran to the bathroom vomitting, ick! Layed back down for a few minutes before trying to get up and do anything, still didn't happen. Felt a little dizzy and sleepy so haven't done much of anything today. Hoping tomorrow will be better. And now I need to go cook dinner...something easy, just soup and a grilled cheese...thinking my stomach can handle that.

Later...:wave:

Happy Hump Day...Went for my blood test again this morning. Now just to wait for the results.

Otherwise things are good. I actually have lowered my blood pressure considerably with my exercise and eating. Was sure surprised, but I have tracked it for several days and it hasn't gone back up. woo hoo.. Another reason to keep up with the exercise, that's for sure.

Nothing else going on today. Just waiting for my step-son to call. He should have arrived in the area last night.

Watching the Chilean rescues...wow.

The Dr. office called and they are pleased with my Liver function test...everything is NORMAL. Whew! They sure know how to scare you for 2 weeks.

Since I take cholesterol meds I was concerned and since my brother died of liver cancer I was doubly worried. And of course, the fact that I have had pains in that area since 2004 made me wonder what was going on. :(

They say I am normal...little do they know that I have never been normal. Haha

Gosh you all have been busy little posters...I am so tired...work was really stressfull today..they are moving offices all around due to the restructuring...it's mass confusion...very few people are happy, they are moving my area away from my wonderful windows and putting us in a dark dungeon like space...I am thinking I should have taken the money and ran....fast and far away...hubby has a job prospect...hoping he gets it!

Jules- Does sound like you should have run long and hard in the opposite direction. I am sure things will settle down and get better. Good luck to your hubby on the job search.

Step-son arrived. He will be here for 2 weeks. I am having a family dinner..just don't know when. :)

Got lots of exercise today, but ate a little more than I should have. Hope it evens out.

Tomorrow is mom's visit to get her injections. I sure hope her back quits hurting afterward. She has been in pain the last few days much more than usual.

Hello all...

Felt much better today. Don't know what was wrong but glad I am better. Busy day and I didn't get as much exercise in as I wanted but some is better than none. Got a little bit of a late start so only got a mile in at the mall. Had to take my vehicle in to be checked for our trip to AR which we postponed due to DS#1. I was mainly going so he wouldn't go alone. Anyway we canceled until next month. I didn't want to go anyway...too many trips down and I am tired of the driving so. Anyway...

SUE...hope your mom gets to feeling better, and the injections work for her. And I hope you guys have a great visit with your stepson! Glad to hear the results are normal too!

JULES...hope you hubby finds something! Sorry for the mess at your work, hoping it gets better for you.

Hoping everyone had a good day! :)

Hi Everybody -- We're Home!! :cp:

We got in late Tuesday night. We ran into Rush Hour Traffic in Chicago -- Oh what fun! LOL. Then Wed. we unpacked everything and put stuff away, went to the In-laws to get my key back (they helped housesit/pet sit) and give them some stuff we got them, then had to go to the store because we were out of almost everything.

I have come to a conclusion though. It will be a long time before I go out of town for more than a couple of days!!! Where I am very grateful for our "friend" who also came to housesit/petsit on the days my inlaws couldn't make it, I was not happy when I came home to a sticky counter top, FOOD left in the microwave, mounds of cat food and cat food all over the floor, closet door left open so the cats could get inside, bags of cat food left open and outside of the closet where we keep it in. I guess it could be a lot worse, but it just irritated me to have to come home to that.

Whenever I housesit/pet sit for my inlaws, I always clean up after myself and do what my mil tells me to do for the cats. I know it wasn't my in-laws who left our house that way because my mil is a NEAT FREAK and her or my FIL would never do that.

Anywho I guess at least the cats were alive and well when we came home and the house wasn't burnt down!! LOL.

I did miss having stuff done for me though like everything was at the hotel!! LOL. I did to my W.A.T.P DVD today, walked a mile and it wore me out! I dunno why. I walked the entire time I was up in Wisconsin and even walked longer! I guess the DVD was more intense and in a shorter amount of time?

I did get brave and W.I. and I gained only 2 pounds! :carrot: LOL. I thought it would have been a lot more and probably would have been if I hadn't have walked everyday while being up there!! lol.

Cristina -- Yes the light house was BEAUTIFUL! I need to upload the pictures we took onto FB!! Sorry you were feeling ill. DH and I were as well, feel better now though. Glad to see you are feeling better! Sorry your trip was cancelled, but like you said, probably a good thing, if your tired and all.

Sue -- Congrats on being "normal"!! :) Also Good Job on lowering your Blood Pressure!! :bravo: Enjoy your time with your stepson!

Jules -- Wow the more I hear about your job, the more it sounds like my old one! They moved us around ALL the time! And everybody was always so confused!! :dizzy: Will keep fingers crossed :crossed: for DH's job prospect!! My cousin, who recently lost her job, just got a new job. Now I just need to get one or win the Lotto!! LOL!!

Enjoy the rest of your day! It was gorgeous here today! A lovely cool fall day -- finally!!

Big :hug:

Good news I hope...Mom had 3, yes (three) injections today. She was scheduled for 1 but when she told the dr. she was also hurting on the opposite side he got looking at her MRI and told her she had another problem. He said he would normally bring her back for more injections, but since she was already off the blood thinner and was there she could choose to have them then. She told him to do whatever he could. She is a trooper. He did all 3 and she is already feeling better. *fingers crossed*
He did recommend some therapy, so we will call about that tomorrow. She did a few sessions before and it helped.

I had soup and salad for lunch, but did get grabbed by 2 of the breadsticks that grabbed Cristina last week....

WELCOME HOME SASSY! And WTG on the 1 mile!

SUE...glad your mom is feeling better already!

HELLO to everyone else :wave:

Today was a terrible day for exercise. Didn't have enough time to walk at the mall before heading to an appt so just skipped it. Decided I will just workout Sunday and take a free day today. That's about all I have...such an exciting life.

Cristina--my little exercise queen...I did get back on the elliptical this week...glad you are feeling better!

Sue--hope the shots help your Mom! I have been invited to my step-siblings family get together on Sunday...hubby and I are going to go, I am finally ok with talking about Dad memories...

Sassy--I am like you when I pet sit, clean up as I go.Glad your home...always nice to sleep in your own bed.

Susan--I can't wait till I can take Dom to a movie theater to watch something!!

Well, the loss of two people in our departmentat work is felt especiallly when the week I was back two people were on vacation and one took this past week too. We managed somehow. Going in today to do a little work at my OT rate... so nice to actually get paid again for the extra hours when I work them. It is mass confusion with the move, alot of areas being moved hadn't even recovered from the layoff and who would do what. Offices of laid off people are having to be packed up by others who had no clue what they did...scary to me. Hoping once our little area is moved things can get into a routine. Dont like my new vp...he's all about how things "look" and not the workers. Miss my old vp....

Suetalks- had to jump in and say hello to a fellow hoosier! ;)

Hello All.

Lazy day today. I'm just SO tired!! :yawn:

I did manage to get my 1 mile in though! :carrot:

Sue -- Hope the injections help your mom!

Cristina -- Thanks. I barely did the mile today, but managed! lol

Jules -- Yes I think that is the easiest way, to clean as you go, but you know how some men are. LOL. Woo Hoo on the OT! I used to always love making that extra money, but the extra hours always sucked!!

:welcome: Linds B! I am also a Hoosier, originally at least!! ;)

Have a Great Afternoon All!

:hug:

LindsB...hello to you also. Isn't Indiana beautiful this week? I love the leaves changing.

It certainly is....our yard is ALREADY covered in leaves! I am hoping to go to an apple orchard or pumpkin patch at some point this weekend! We should have some great weather :)

And the laziness continues...I DON'T want to exercise waaaaahhh, lol. Really not funny though. I do not know what is wrong with me, all I want to do is sleep! I did get 1 1/2 miles done today but that was it, really no excuse for it.

Had Cambrie and Lily today, kids were out of school. Did a lot of nothing.

JULES...well, hopefully work gets better for ya.

SASSY...I feel the same way! Good job on the mile!

HIYA SUE :wave:

Nothing really planned for the weekend. Kids soccer and football games tomorrow afternoon and that's about it. One is at 3 on one side of town and the other is at 4 on the other side of town, lol. I plan on catching up on some much needed reading, house cleaning and scrapbooking! Oh and exercising for sure!

Have a great one all!

Half way lazy Saturday. That means I have been able to sit down between chores. LOL I cleaned 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms and straightened up the walk in closet. Looks like all I am going to do today. Now I can curl up with my book.

And..I have been eating ok except for a little over the top last night. I just haven't been getting as much exercise the last few days. (I hear ya Cristina..I don't wanna do it either) So...I am a little frightened to step on the scale Monday. Have forced myself to stay OFF it the last few days.

Planning a big family dinner next Sunday and then the following Fri. we are off to Las Vegas for 3 nights. It will be nice to get away. Mom is going to stay with my aunt and she is happy to get to visit. Win win situation.

I quit!

cristina==dont you quit us missy!! Grandkids do keep you busy, lose alot of me time.
sue--have fun on your trip!
lindab--welcome!!
sassy--lazy days for us all!!

I have been invited to my stepsiblings family get together at Olive Garden tomorrow...Teri is suppossed to get the boys in time for us to go.

Happy Sunday...Not feeling tip top today so I curled up in my chair and caught up on some missed episodes of Top Chef Just Desserts.
Went out and cleaned out the bird bath and gave my friends fresh water and food. Did then clean the laundry room and prep veggies for dinner. I am fixing a quiche with steamed veggies on the side. Also have a nice salad made, but I will be the only one eating that. I will do big salad, big veggies and a taste of quiche.
WI tomorrow and I know I am not going to be happy...but I did get my exercises done yesterday and I will tonight too.

Nothing else happening.

Cristina..don't quit on us. Hope you get feeling better.
Jules..Hope the family thing goes well.

Off to exercise right now before cooking. :)

Good Morning -

Cristina - quit us or quit trying to lose weight?? You can't quit us because we will find you :) :hug::hug:

Welcome LindsB :wave:

Sassy - Glad you are home. I couldn't live in a hotel long either, I like being in my own bed. Sorry about the mess, I bet the kitties are happy to see you :)

Sue - Quiche sounds really good. I am off to clean my closets today, my place is a pigsty.

Jules - I hate work.We moved our office clear across the hospital. I spent 3 hrs Saturday putting the office back together,can't function with things not in order. Anyway, I am looking to today off and I vow not to volunteer to work this weekend, need 2 days off in a row!

It took me all week to lose a whopping .2 oz's. ha ha I WI at 158.2, at least I didn't gain back. This is going to take forever....maybe I will go on a banana diet. :dizzy: Ugh. Off to Goodwill and cleaning the apt. Chat more later.

Well..it took me all week to lose 1/2 pound. I was just thrilled not to gain. Maybe by Christmas I will be down to the 160"s. I beat myself up every day for gaining up to 183.5......I mean I had been 170 for such a long time and went the wrong d**n way. All I can blame is SITTING on my butt.

Okay...I am back on track and MOVING some every day. I actually exercised for 45 min. last night. Gonna go ride the bike before the rain hits.

Dang ..just started out to ride and the rain came pouring down. Yikes it is dark and windy.
Not gonna get to ride for awhile. LOL

Hello :wave:

SUSAN...I would NEVER quit you ladies, love you too much! So did you find anything good at the Goodwill? I keep meaning to go but never close to it and forget! Enjoy your day off! Oh, good job on the few oz...anything is better than a gain missy! :carrot:

JULES...I said that in frustration, and you are right...gkids take a lot of our time. WE need to make some me time for sure. Since J & C don't really NEED me to babysit I am cutting back the days to 2-4 just depends. This week I told Charlotte (she's off today) W & Thurs and Friday is up in the air, not sure. How was your dinner at Olive Garden (my favorite place in the world)?

SUE...good job on the 1/2 pound! :carrot: Yeah, why do we do that to ourselves? I am still kicking myself over my gain. Was down to 183 something and then went back up and now struggling to get back there. Such a pain for sure! Sorry you didn't get your bike ride in. Dinner sounded yummy! Making me want to make a quiche...haven't had any in a very long time.

Well, I pulled my lazy self out of the house today. Thinking that is, maybe, what I need...to get out. I think I am burned out on the mall walking, walking in circles, lol. So decided to go to the park and walk. Got in a good 3 mile walk and some extras. They put in some new little wor stations thru-out the park that are awesome...so did some along the way. Decided I am going to go there at least 3 days a week, wish it were closer, I would go more. I have been so frustrated with this weight crap. I am thinking I am just going to focus on the health part and not so much the weight loss...just tired of it consuming my life. Of course at the same time I guess it always will, I don't know. Anyway, also did a 2 mile dvd...Leslie Sansones Shape and Firm. Still doing my walking challenge but not so sure I am going to worry about the weight loss challenge. Athough, and I don't know how I did it, but I am down a pound this week. Anyway...

Have a great Monday! :hug:

Good Morning!!

W/I was all over the scale - 156.2-156.4-156.6 so I take the 156.6 = beats 158.2. Wonder about that scale, thinking too much kitty litter has landed on it from Momo kicking it out of his box. It's a miss in that bathroom.

Sue & Cristina - always impressed w/ your exercising. Ifigure you do it for me, I can sit here,read and live through you guys. haha
Actually I am thinking of going and buying some walking/running shoes and getting my butt in action. I know, I am always saying this..........this time I mean it though! :D

Didn't find anything at Goodwill, tried on a shirt but didn't like it enough for 7.99. I have to go back to work today,getting burnt out. Talk about walking in circles, it gets soooooo boring at times - all I do is walk around.

*sigh- anyway. Going back to bed for an hour before I have to get Gaby up for school.

:wave:

Ya know I'm about to give up -- again. I walked last week and ate pretty decent and didn't lose a thing!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

Anywho not feeling too well today. I think its the new meds I'm taking.

Cristina -- glad your back. :hug:

I'll check in more later. '

:hug:

Hi ladies! Thanks for the welcomes!

My eating hasn't been perfect by any means, but I have been cranking out awesome workouts! I am shooting for 6 evening workouts and 3 other workouts (walk for 1 hour at lunch 2x's this week and do one morning workout)!

Its that TOM so I'm thinking I should stay off the scale (i weigh on Fridays) because I look/feel very bloated! :(

Hope you all are having a great start to the week!

Had a good day even though we had to turn on our heat...ugh. I was so enjoying the warmer Fall weather.

I have almost gotten to the point of not craving anything and not really caring what I eat. (almost) Now as sure as I say that tomorrow will be a day when I can NOT get enough of anything to eat. LOL
I just figured my calories for the day and I am actually under what I should be..so tomorrow I am going to have to watch it and get enough. We are taking step-son out for lunch, so I know I can get those calories up there..lol.

Did my exercising this morning. Then had to take mom to the kidney dr. She has still another infection and needs her stent changed again next month. Poor thing just gets over one hurdle and another is thrown in front of her. She got relief from the injections last week, then started having pains in the front of her leg yesterday..now can hardly move. So...gotta call that dr. again tomorrow. Hopefully he can do something to ease her pain because the meds. are not doing it. ):

Anyway..it did rain me out on the bike ride yesterday, but I exercised inside. Only got about 25 minutes, but better than nothing. I am feeling really good since I lost an inch in my waist, even though the scales are not moving very quickly.

Getting the house cleaned from top to bottom and preparing for a family dinner Sunday is my agenda the rest of the week. We all pitch in on the food, but I am making a ham, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, rolls, cheese/beef stick plate, Oreo dirt pudding, and whatever else I can think of between now and Sun. I am not even sure how many will be here...I have heard from 14 so far that are definitely coming, plus the 3 of us. We could have as many as 10 more..yikes. (I once had 47 at Thanksgiving)

Okay..enough of my yakking. I did want to tell Francie that my granddaughter is in LOVE with a Navy man. Looks like we might have a wedding next year as he is on his way to deployment in Nov.

Have a happy HUMP day ladies...

Hello, hello :wave:

:welcome: LindsB!

SUE...hugs for you momma :hug:

SASSY...glad you didn't quit missy! :hug: We all will do this together!

SUSAN...while I don't work on the days I don't watch Lily I am totally lost and running around in circles! She keeps me busy all day and then I don't know what to do with myself when I don't have her. WTG on WI! :woohoo:

JULES...hoping all is well with you :hug:

Same with the rest of you ladies who are MIA, miss ya!

Didn't do much of anything today. Went to run errands with the first stop at son #1 to drop something off and the rest went out the window. Had planned on a 30 minute visit and it turned into a 3 hour visit so everything has to wait for another day. Then DD and I went to see Jackass 3D...those guys are mentally challenged to say the least! But we loved it...was laughing so hard we were crying, crazy I tell ya, crazy! They do the dumbest things for money, and lots of it! I am surprised none of them have been killed or seriously hurt. Other than getting some laundry done that was pretty much my day. Tomorrow...walk at the park. Taking Lily this time, I think she will totally flip over the ducks and geese!

Take care and lots of hugs :hug:

Oh my am I getting discouraged. I was up in the night sick. So, what do we do after we are sick?? Well, we weigh in to see if we lost weight. Amazed that I GAINED...and I have been so good since Mon. WI. I was really good yesterday to the point of under eating. I figured one day wouldn't hurt.
I exercised and felt pretty good about my work out.

And I gained 2 pounds?? WTheck.

I am going to continue with trying to make sure I get ENOUGH calories and exercising....see what next Mon. brings. But this seems to be the pattern with me and I get so let down.

Stomach is still upset, so today might be a lazy day.

Sue- I know how you feel! I get SO SO discouraged sometimes! I just keep telling myself that atleast I am getting "better' whether it be on the scale or atleast stronger from all the exercise I do. I would love to lose like 2lbs per week, but unfortunately I eat too much for that I guess! I am just trying to stick with a plan that I can "live" on and still lose on....RAWR. I'm having a frustrating day too! I'm super bloated...TOM. I will be stayign off the scale until NEXT Friday! Hang in there! :hug:

Evening everyone - :wave:

Sue & LindsB - Sometimes the scale will just drop overnight, happen before with me. So, never give up and hang in there!

Cristina - I so want a Lily in my life :(

I have this horrid rash on my hands and a bit on my face,feels sore under my eye. I soooooo want to call in sick tomorrow. Tired of the grind. I need a vacation. Also rethinking my plans for Hawaii......kind of not wanting to save $$$$ - lol

Did manage to get to an even 156 tonight. Yesssss.......but even that doesn't perk me up too much. Bored......in general.

Rise & Shine! WI 155.6 this morning :carrot:

Now some much needed coffee. I hope to have a good day. I need one.
