Just a quick Hi Ladies! I don't have time to stay. But I will respond fully as soon as I am able.

Meg, to answer your questions:

Yup, I've been to Syracuse Stage. I've been there to watch performances. :D

I was in a sorority for about a year then I left it. When I came to meet the sisters, apparently the way they acted was "front" from the way they *really* were. It was sad, but I couldn't live with the disparity.

Dorms:

Frosh - Lawrinson then Flint
Sophomore - Dellplain
Junior - South Campus
Senior - Flint then Kimmel


Later yall!

Hi guys! I weighed in today, and I am down 1 pound still. I am doing pretty well, and feeling better. I still have a bad cough, and now a really bad sore throat. I have to work this afternoon, and all day tomorrow. I wish I could just stay home and sleep, but alas, I can't.

Cat - Wow! 13 miles since Sunday! That is AMAZING. I am so proud of you. I need to get my but in gear! The flu has really set me back.

Well, I think I am going to make my way into work now...

Talk to you later!

Meg

Hi Ladies,

Meg, sorry to hear that you are still not well :( i'm feeling better myself :) nose has stopped running and headache has gone :dancer:

I weighed in the morning and i've lost 4lbs this week :goodscale :high: walked another 3mls too :workout: foot is still hurting and its really bugging me :( I dare'nt jog on it so i'm back to just walking :shrug: which is fine it just takes a little longer thats all :lol:

Good morning ladies,
I haven't posted all week, but I've checked in, we don't seem to be posting much on here these days, now it's the weekend so it will be even quieter.

I only went to Curves twice last week, I was to sore from work toward the end of the week and the weather got really nasty so I didn't go exercise. Yesterday I had a migraine headache, and had to have my granddaughter go home earlier than planned. I felt bad in both way, I really wanted to spend time with her but I felt wretched. I still don't feel totally well today so am going to just take it easy. At curves the other day a group of us were talking and one of the ladies had been going 6 days a week since July and had yet to lose any weight. I've come to the conclusion you have to mix it up. You can't just rely on one type of exercise to do the trick. I am still going to go 3 times a week but will try to work something else in the other 4 days. Just wish this lousy weather would warm up so we could be outside more.

Well, nothing else to write about, hope everyone is well and having a nice weekend. Hi to Terry, Emily, Pam, Grandma G., Meg, Shayla, Cathy, and anyone else I missed...we need to post more often.

Dahlia

Hope you feel better soon Dahlia :D pity you had to cut your granddaughters visit short :( but i know that you need to feel 100% to cope with them at the best of times :lol:

Not exercised today yet :shrug: i'm going out to stack some firewood in a min so i may count that as it for today ;) and miss the treadmill. Its nice out although it looks a bit windy. Springcleaned my kitchen this morning and it looks lovely :) pity i've got to use it! Hope we see some familiar bodies around here soon. :wave:

I agree Dahlia - we need to post more often! I want to post more so that I am accountable for my workouts.

I still have a HORRIBLE cough. Other than that, I am better. I worked at the restaurant yesterday from 8am to 5pm, with no break, and I was wiped. I made good $$ thought - I work at an Irish place, and it was the official St. Patrick's Day celebration for Chicago - dyeing the river green, etc. Lots of corned beef and cabbage!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Meg

It is a GREAT day! Weighed in with a loss. - 186.5. I would say 3 days in a row with a loss is a loss. 1.5 pounds more, and I will be 10 pounds down from my highest weight ever of 195. My goal is to have the weight gone forever by xmas. At this rate, I am right on schedule!

Hope everyone is well -

Meg

Good going Meg, :)
Got to hit the showers just got home from work. Went to curves this morning,, we are getting a new machine in about a month, will be good to add some new moves to the routine.

Dahlia

:lol: Meg when you put - 186.5 i thought that you were going to quip that you'd given away your hubby or something :lol3: Congrats on the loss :cp: Thats a long shift without a break :eek: glad you made big $$$$

Dahlia, glad to hear that you are getting a new machine :) could'nt have come at a better time eh? as you were just saying that you need to shake things up :)

I don't feel like exercising today as the house is cold :( when its sunny the house heats up a treat and we don't need any heat on but today its dull and windy and the house was only 50 degrees this morning, i've got the woodstove going but i've only got it up to 59 so far :( think i'll leave the exercising until later ;) it should be warmer when i get back from the mall.

Dahlia - I think that new machine is just what the Dr. ordered!

Cathy - I am soooo jealous - a woodburning stove. My husband and I really want one of those!

Worked today. Boring. Not a big $$ maker. I Just went thru a pile of stuff sorting the recipes from the home ideas I have cut out of mags. Now I need to make a grocery list.

Planning on getting on the rebounder later. Have a good one! :)

Meg, I grew up with nothing but a woodburning stove, and I vowed when I got married I would never have wood, well I married and still had wood up until the last 7 yrs... we have now natural gas,,, I would never go back to wood. Sure it's warm when the fire is going, but that's just it,, you can't go away and come back to a warm house unless the fire is kept up.. I used to hate coming home or getting up to a cold house...give me dependable gas... :) I like this little guy.... sorry but just had to put in my 2 cents worth.. I love fireplaces but even though the fire is cozy and cheerful, you have the mess of ashes and wood to contend with... we are converting our wood fireplace to gas also...

Cathy, exercising warms you up... I find its easier to exercise when it's cooler and then I stay warm quite a while after too...

Well, nothing on tv tonight so guess it's early to bed, I am tired. We did a lot of stuff at work today, and more of the same tomorrow... can't wait for nicer weather.

Dahlia

Dahlia - you crack me up! Dan and I are fighting about the fireplace in our new house. I want gas - he wants logs. I told him that he will never clean up after the logs, but he insists he will. I just found out we can't get logs - gas only. I win!

I rebounded for 30 minutes today. Felt pretty good. I also made low carb meatloaf for dinner. Both Dan and I liked it, so it goes into the recipes to make again file. I also bought Skyy Sport - the low carb Skyy malt beverage drink. It is pretty good. Kind of lemony. I think I am going to follow up with a little low carb Breyers ice cream!

Talk to you guys tomorrow! Meg

Meg,
how do you make low carb meatloaf? and is this low carb stuff also low fat or don't that matter with low carb? Never heard of the drink skyy sport is that like gaterade?
I'm off to work here in a little bit. Glad you won with gas over wood, you won't be sorry.
:)

It's still cold here, only 21 right now, our high is only to be around 31. Spring starts Saturday, hope it starts to warm up. Well, hope every one has a great day. :)
Will check in after work.

Dahlia

I am cooking out of low carb cookbooks. The meatloaf didn't have any bread or anything in it. It had almonds in it which was really cool. Skyy Sport is like a beer. It is made with Skyy vodka. It tastes lemony. It was totally yummy!

Hope you all had a good day!

Meg

Good afternoon - and happy St. Patrick's day! Just got home from work, and am getting ready to go to a sewing class this evening. it is to learn how to make skirts. I thought that once I finally start my job, I can make some skirts to wear with nice sweater sets. Talk to you after class!
