I hope you are all doing well and drinking all of your water!!! Thank you for the well wishes for me and my little boy. I realized the other day that I can't make anymore "men" comments as I will be outnumbered.
I'm starting to go for my walks again. My husband and I walked for 30 minutes last night and it felt good. I've been eating healthy and just drinking my water. The funny thing is that I don't have the appetite. I mentioned it to my doctor and she thought that was kind of strange...she did laugh when I told her that Marcel (my husband) was eating everything in sight! Ah, sympathy pains! She just told me to make sure I eat every 3 hours. I never thought I would hear the day when my doctor is telling me to eat!
Desiree-How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling great.
CJ and Sharon - Aw come on ladies, if that lady could get pregnant at 65, you can too! Funny, just last year we were teasing my Mom (she's 61) that we wanted a little brother. she had this horrific look on her face that pretty much told us it was never going to happen. All my Dad could do is laugh. Now look, she is going to have two newborn grandchildren that are about four months apart. I think they are going to be "babied" out for a while! It does sound like you lovely ladies had a fun time together.
Judy- I hope you are doing well.
Well ladies, I'm off to do some shopping. Tomorrow is my sister's baby shower and I have some errands to run. Have a great weekend!
Hope this finds all of you doing okay. I am having PMS. I must be getting Slyvia and Desiree"s share of PMS too! hahahaha! That was an added plus not having to have this every month. Of course I wouldn't want to be pregant to not have this. I will enjoy their pregnancies instead.
I am going to weigh in tomarrow, but it won't be an acuarte weight since I am retaing right now. I am also going to check out this new exercise place called Curves. You are supposed to go 3 times a week for 30 min. at a time. I like the comercials I have seen and I know a couple of people that go so we will see.
Slyvia: I think it is funny that your are not telling your family. They will be bugging you for sure. Can you hold out? I think a little boy is great. Hope your test come back okay.
Desiree: Congradulations! Do you want a little girl?
CJ: Which casino are you going to. Is it Harrah's. I have been there. My aunt works there also. I think she works at night. She is in charge of the concessions or in the restaurant I think. It would be nice for you to run into her . I was goiong to say she could get your pic, but I don't think they let cameras in the casino. Anyway have fun.
Well, I am tired so I am going to bed take care everyone.
Thank you all for your thoughtful words for my mother. I am taking it one day at a time. I still cry and when my day comes to visit for the first time without mom it will propbably hit me pretty hard again.. but I will get thourgh that too.
So here there I was surfing the web when I thought about the ladies in The Thin Group and I thought what the heck!
I am so surprised to see all the familiar names not so much as the fact that I still have a log in!! Amazing! So I thought I would check out the website (I assume CJ you are still keeping it up!) It is absoultly mint! Then I saw all of the missing members... including me! I started to cry. I know I popped in over a year ago to check in but, was in a real bad place so didn't continue to keep in contact. So here we are... ahh I feel at home.
OK quick update, gained a million pounds over 200! Gee Wiz see what happens when I don't stay in touch! Moved.. Moved.. oh ya moved again! Changed jobs.. think I might have mentioned that a year ago... still with my man... oh ya! In November 02 I joined Weight Watchers and as of today I have lost 25lbs! Yah me! However, I am not even close to where I was 3 years ago when I joined the Thin Group. So as you can see it has been interesting.
So some of you are saying who is this chick ranting on and on.. we just want to see who starts the new thread.. but, all I have to say is this is the best bunch you could ever meet for support, laughter and a shoulder when you need it. I think about you gals all the time.
I am not going to say I will keep posting because.. well you know I won't! LOL But, I definately still feel part of this group and I am glad I have a place to go when the time is right!
I hope all you lovely ladies are doing well. I'm popping in for a quick hello. I'm going through the "forgetful" phase of pregnancy and am just happy that I remember my name and where I live. My husband says I'm not allowed to be alone anymore It's pretty scary sometimes.
On the "healthy" front, I am drinking more water and eating more fruits and veggies. i am trying very hard to eat extra healthy.
Brite- Welcome back! Please feel free to post whenever you want!
Mary Kay- I used to go to Curves before I was pregnant. I want to continue going but, it's just getting too hard to drive those 25 minutes. Let me tell you, it does work. I lost 19 inches in from October to January.
CJ- I hope you are doing well.
Sharon- Are you hiding from us again?
Judy- Are you hiding from us as well?
Desiree- I hope you are doing and feeling well. If you have morning sickness, hang in there!
Well ladies, I'm off to bed. I'll try to post more later on in the week ... that is if I remember. yesterday I was haf way down the highway when I noticed I didn't have my purse. Luckily I have the house keys attached to the car keys or else I would have been in some deep doo doo.
Could hear a pin drop over here ladies! Just stopping by to say hello.
Silvia popcorn usually works pretty good when making my trail home if I don't eat it along the way! Could be worse you could have just realized after years that aivlis is silvia spelled backwards!!!! Can you believe it?? OMG
Well, today is my birthday and what a day it has been. I turned 30 and no one let me forget. For the first time it several years I am not down in the dumps which is different.
I weighed in yesterday at WW and I lost 1.5 so that's nice. I'll take it with lots to go.
I hope you are all doing well. I'm popping in for a quick hello. Well, I got the results from my amnio the other day and everything is OK and yes, I am having a boy. Now we are trying to figure out names. Talk about pressure. I have been eating healthy and drinking a lot of water so I'm doing what I'm supposed to do.
I hope you ladies continue to post, I hope this group doesn't "dissappear". That would be so sad.
Well, I hope that some of you lovely ladies will come out of lurkdome to say hello.
GOOD MORNING!!!!!!! Sorry to have been missing for a spell but have been busy trying to ut all our clothes and stuff away from our traveling AND our son is home for a couple weeks from Italy! He just got out of the Navy after 15 years ... but he is going back to work as a civilian - his fiancee is there and he is planning on staying there .. well, we'll have him for a couple weeks anyways.
Kerri: Welcome back!!!!!!!!!! It is so good to hear from you and you remembered us! It's good to see you back. I hope you keep posting with us ... we are a little "slim" in members now, but I feel this group will survive and flourish again! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Glad to hear you had a good one!
Slyvia: Glad to hear you are doing well with your pregnancy - and Congratulations on "It's a Boy"!! Don't worry about this group dying Slyvia, as long as there is 2 of us (or more hopefully) posting it will survive. I sometimes let days go by without posting (I beleive that is what we call "lurkers" - lol) but I am going to make it a #1 priority to at least post a hello every morning! I was just thinking about that before I went to sleep last nite ...
Desiree: Hope all is going well for you also ... post with us often and let us know how things are. Hope you are feeling good.
Judy: Where are you? Post and let us know what you are up to.
MK: We stopped in St Charles on our way home (just outside St Louis) and went to the new casino Ameristar. It was really nice - we plan to go back next year and stay a little longer. We won some but then we put it back ... I left it there for next year! LOL
Sharon: WE had a great time with you and Ken ... Time goes by so quickly when you're having fun, doesn't it? Have a great time with your visit with Tracy - talkt to you soon.
Well, this is going to be short cuz my son would like to use my computer ... so I shall return later.
Hellloooooo! I came by to say hello like I promised! Where is everyone??? Slyvia? ..... MK? ..... Kerri?.... Desiree?.... Judy? .... Sharon?!!
OK ... not much to say. Am trying to stay OP and post my journal ... so far so good, but then it's only been a couple days, right? Hey, on the way to the washing machine I removed the coats hanging on my treadmill and dusted it off ... now, the next step - USE IT! LOL
Am enjoying my time with our son from Italy ... he will only be here for a couple weeks ... had the grandkids over last nite - made sloppy joes - was fun. Hubby and son are in Bay City right now ... doing a "side job" ... so I am doing laundry and writing out bills - yuk!
Sharon ... I know you are lurking - you know what we talked about ... post a quickie! Try before you go to see Tracy, ok?
OK ... that's all for today ... hope to hear from ya all soon!
Sorry to be gone so long again. Work got in the way.
I lost 2lbs since last week. Haven't got into the exercise yet. I will soon.
CJ: The Ameristar is where my aunt and uncle go to play. She can't play where she works. My dad goes there sometimes too.
Sylvia: I still haven't gone to curves just yet plan to go soon. Last time I went to an exercise place, and was getting into shape I got preganant with my son who is now 22. I think I am safe now though, my tubes were tied.
I found out yesterday that a Curves will be opening here (just a few blocks away) the middle of next month! I plan to be among the first to sign up!
I'm still yo-yoing between 230 and 234, can't seem to get any lower. I've tried to follow the EDiets weekly diet but feel hungry all the time. Just can't get modivated enough, I guess.
Nothing new going on here, same old existance day by day. Still making quilts and loving it! Guess what all the family will be gettiing for Christmas this year?
New grandbaby is due next month. Still don't know the sex, doctor says it is shy, won't show itself!
Hi guys,
Just a quick post, I will post more when I can to let you know that I have been reading all the posts, but had been busy working at H & R Block and now my sister in law, Chrissy came last night from Michigan for a weekend visit. It sure was nice to have her come here, she hasn't been here for years and years and today we are going to go out and about to Little Nashville, where I took CJ when her and Dick came a while ago.
We also are going to finish up painting, she loves to paint, our family room. We painted it red and put down hardwood floors. It looks great too. The plans are to put the hardwood floors and paint the living room as well.
I will post when I have a chance and hope you all have a great weekend.
This is going to be a quick one as we just decided to take a drive up to the cabin for a couple days. So we are packing up now and will be on our way soon. So if you don't hear from me that is where I will be and my computer will not be hooked up yet up there ... next trip. I bring it home for the winter because it not good to be setting in the cabin cold with no heat.
Sharon: please give Chrissy my love - can't wait to see the red walls! I know it is going to look great! Talk to ya soon. HI CHRISSY!!
I'll talk to ya all soon ... probably around Wednesday.
I hope you are all doing well. I'm doing just dandy, thank you. Well, I'm now at the "Half way" mark of my pregnancy ....20 weeks! My goodness, how time flies! Had a doctor appointment yesterday and she is a bit concerned about my weight. I haven't gained any and am now 5 months pregnant. She told me to increase my calories and to eat more often. Never thought I would hear her say that. My little bambino is just a happy little camper. He sure loves music, especially Salsa music. I put it on every once in a while and he just bounces all over the place. I grab my husband's hand and put it on my tummy and he feels him bouncing around as well. Yup, I have a feeling he's going to be qute the active little boy. I just hope he behaves and listens to his Mamma!
Sharon-Please give Chrissy a hug from me! I do miss her posts but love those email funnies she sends!!! Red walls and hardwood floors sounds so pretty.... has someone been watching trading spaces?
CJ- Have fun at the cabin!
Judy- Oooooh, a new grandbaby! How exciting. We were lucky enough that our baby is a flasher He was more than happy to show us his plumbing! I'm sure your family will be happy as long as it's healthy. I think you will enjoy Curves, I really miss it and will proabbly go back if I can find someone to watch my baby for a couple of hours 3 days of the week. Let me know how you like it.
Mary Kay-How funny, I was going to Curves to get in shape (other than round) when I got pregnant!
Well ladies, I'm off to do some laundry. I hope you all have a great weekend!
Ah, sympathy pains!
She just told me to make sure I eat every 3 hours. I never thought I would hear the day when my doctor is telling me to eat!
Funny, just last year we were teasing my Mom (she's 61) that we wanted a little brother. she had this horrific look on her face that pretty much told us it was never going to happen. All my Dad could do is laugh. Now look, she is going to have two newborn grandchildren that are about four months apart. I think they are going to be "babied" out for a while! It does sound like you lovely ladies had a fun time together.
Just stopping by to say hello. 
Can you believe it?? OMG
