Happy Christmas Eve eve! Been riding Frank in my skinny jeans tucked into my new tall boots...now that's a first. Also, have a pair of jeans I haven't worn in a long time getting loose on me...saggy butt and all. Have to even put them in the drier after wash. It's a freakin miracle and seems to have happened so fast. 9 lbs to go.

Merry Christmas Beautiful People!
Sun

Hi girls -

Well got my new computer up tonight finally- and windows 8 is very challenging right now!!! Christmas was super great last night, the kids all got along for a change- they are growing up and hopefully realizing its just not worth it....

I got a cool Harley Davidson bracelet - gonna wear it tomorrow night as we don't do anything on Christmas Eve so we go to our local hangout, it is pot luck night so we usually take little smokies and cheesy hashbrowns and of course we have a few drinks as well

Ok well getting off here and heading to bed! It was defiantly a Monday

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Sunster glad to hear that you are sporting the skinny jeans with room to play
that is so awesome....
I will be getting my butt in gear after today again- back to the gym I go and now will be watching more of what I eat and how much!

Hope everyone is having a super great day with family

Ok well my last post was 3 days ago and guess what I haven't been to gym or watching my food yes I need a big swift kick in the a*s!!!! I was going to go to the gym today but grandbaby came alittle earlier than I thought and didn't go home till 8pm tonight, boy was she getting tired and cranky..... but love her to pieces

Well hope everyone had a great Christmas- and New Years is coming real soon, whats everyone plans?

Happy New Year!!! Well besides last night I have been doing really well since my last post- and already have lunches planned for next 2 days and supper as well- also been back at the gym since Sunday everyday but today since they are not open

Hope everyone is doing well

Hi and Happy New Year back atcha! Th holidaze turned out to be easy as far as sticking to the plan. Hardest part was visiting daughter in Oregon. They are vegetarian and tend to serve up plenty of carbs. But I was careful and even packed celery and cukes for the 8 hr drive each way. Didn't gain or lose. I'm weighing this Sunday ...hoping to get in the mid 160's.

Geeze Reda...good girl staying on plan and exercising. Ur about to head for Mexico...lucky puppy! Hey I'm heading to Arizona for bike week in April ...consider it? Anyone up for warm temps after ur long cold winter?

Hello! Hey Sunster you are ON FIRE! I love the visual of you riding Frank with skinny jeans tucked into tall boots!! *HAWT*!! congrats on your wonderful success!!

Reda, yay to you for sticking to it!

I have NOT been good, been a free-for-all on all the Christmas goodies Trying to re-start as of yesterday.

Hi to everyone else

What kind of weather are you all dealing with back east? By the way, I consider anything east of the Rockies to be "back east"!

Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year's ladies!
SO, obviously I have been MIA for awhile. I was working two jobs for a bit... .then decided that life is too short to do this for a lifetime . So, I will just chip away at debt the old fashioned way.

Its been a good Holiday season until last week. My brother died unexpectedly. He had the flu, then a heart attack, he was airlifted to a bigger hospital where he had a stroke, resulting in brain death. So, I drove 24/36 hours to be there. But, I am glad I was there.

Sunster I see you are having a great success at WL. I am trying to get back on the wagon. I am looking at the Alternative IP program.

Reda and Colleen, You know, I bet you had a BLAST with the little ones at Christmas. That is what it is all about!

Holly, Has that Rat B^%$*rD of a boss given you your $ that he promised yet?

I will try not to be MIA so long again..... I need to get back to the days we logged in every other day so I can be more accountable.

Tammy

Oh My Gosh, Tammy....I'm so sorry for your brother's tragedy. Such sadness...I'm so sorry for you and your family.

Tammy, oh that is terrible!! I am SO sorry for your loss, what a shock!! we you!!

Yes, my raise and then the back pay finally came, but get this..he owed me $280, so he peels off 3 $100 bills and gives them to me, saying "you can owe me an hour or something, we'll work it out". Silently I marched to my purse and got a $20 and handed it to him, saying "I (emphasis on "i") don't like to owe anyone...HERE we are even". He actually didn't want to take it! but I made him.

He did give me a reasonably generous Christmas bonus, the equivalent of a week's pay.

I was doing relatively good for 2 days (big whoop) and then binged when I got home last nihgt. to me, a binge was - three handfuls of chocolate chips, a small bowl (like a cup of ice cream) The ice cream splurge was not so bad but then I found a can of frosting I did NOT buy that guess my husband did; I had THREE spoonfuls of straight chocolate frosting and it was blisss until I regretted it which was right afterwards.

Tammy I apologize, I sympathize about your brother and then i blab about my insignificant stuff, I am truly sorry about your loss! did he have a wife/kids, how are they doing??

Hi Girls

Oh Tammy so sorry - it must have been a huge shock, just plain sucks when it is so unexpected- again so sorry, if you need anything don't hesitate to let us know, side note glad to hear that you are down to 1 job and will now hopefully have some self time

Holly glad to hear that you got your money plus and it sure is always nice to get a bonus at Christmas time....

Well I have been doing really well with diet and exercise but on Tuesday it is our 25th wedding anniversary so I got room in Omaha (2 hours away) at the casino for just DH and I, well we had a blast and had a little much alcohol
plus then I had nachos late last night so I guess I will see what the scale says tomorrow
I have made it to the gym everyday except today but with getting home decided I needed to do some cleaning and get some of DS's stuff ready for him to take to his place and out of mine

Feeling really tired tonight I suppose yesterday is catching up with me

Sunster details on the AZ rally like when and where because I am looking at flight to AZ in April if I can get a good deal and it is on the plan to rent a bike and go riding so who knows maybe we will be able to meet up again!!!

Tammy well we are defiantly going to Bikes, Blues & BBQ in Sept this year, I believe it is 25, 26, 27 anyways I did call a few places and rooms were like $150 per night with a 3 night minimum- I will have more details tomorrow on exactly which one we will be staying at, you will have to see if it will work in your schedule even if it is for a day, don't remember how far away you are from Fayettetville though

Ok well I am going to get off here, really tired

Have a Great Monday

Holly, you don't have to apologize. He did have a son and a "wife"... He had not lived w her in 25 years and she showed up as the "grieving widow" and made a clean sweep and went back home to her live in boyfriend to draw SS off my brother.... It sucks... But really it's not my "business".

I am with you on the no owing anyone. I hate to know I do.

CC, I am about 4-5 hours away from Fayetteville. I am for sure gonna try to make it up there to meet!

CC sounds like you didn't do too badly eating. I am currently trying to shed all the sugar out of my diet. It seems to help me.

Sunster, girl you are rocking the WL!!!! Wtg!!!

Well I have to run.... Will chat more later.

Oh, I forgot.... My cubicle mate is a amazing at sewing things..... I told her she needs to market to biker chicks.... What kind of hand made things would you think sell the best. The girl can honestly sew anything from scratch.
