hi ladies - so sorry i've been out. just beenbusy at work and feeling like crap. i think i've totally lost my motivation, haven't worked out in two weeks and probaly gained about 5 pounds. why does this have to be so hard??? i thought for sure i found the right path and losing was getting easy. but i guess i was wrong b/c i fell of that wagon and now i'm spiraling down the tube. just so frustrated, sorry. looks like everyone is doing really well. hope to get out of this funk soon. everyone have a great day. no work tomorrow so i'll try to check in and perhaps exercise my butt off jacks
Jacks so sorry you are feeling so down. You are a motivated person though so I know for SURE you will get your grove back. Enjoy your day off.
Not to much going on with me today. We got tons of rain so I really can not take the kids out in the back yard today. I don't want my lawn all ripped up. Still in pain with my tooth but it is slightly feeling better everyday. I think I will do some light cleaning today and try and maybe for once sneek a nap in. I just feel so tired, maybe because it is so cloudy today. I am glad it is Friday, because my hus loves to spend time with the kids, so I can get some major spring cleaning done or just NAP! I have most of my winter decorations put away and and all my Easter ones out. I know girls another holiday with more chocolate and candy? How are we going to be able to survive it? I don't like those waxy chocolate bunnies anyway. Just the good stuff. Well I will check back later to see if anyone had time to pop in. Julie
Jacks, I hope you are feeling better today. I know how you feel right now. It is so easy to slip off and so hard to get back on. It is amazing how fast the weight can come back though. I am in shock as to how much I managed to gain over the winter.We can do this.We are here for you.
Julie, Easter is hard for me too. I like the Cadbury eggs and I always make a bunny cake with coconut(fur). YUM!! I will have to try hard to resist this year though. My kids should be old enough that they dont need the candy. We are all cloudy today and it is supposed to rain tomorrow but Sunday is supposed to be awesome. Tuesday is calling for almost 55 degrees. I hope so.
I am in weekend mode today. I ate some of the peanut butter dip(I was starving and in the bakery so that was what I grabbed) I will be good the rest of the day though. We did another 3 miles this morning. Rebel loves it, I think he peed on every pole and hydrant we passed.
Well, well, I can see that I am not the only one that wasn't here over the weekend. I was busy in the yard and I mean BUSY. We got all of the beds set up with the plants that we already have. Joe did most of it since I was in school Saturday but I was able to help him yesterday.
What is going on with all of you guys? Have we lost everyone?
Nice to see were posting again. My weekend was pretty good eating wise. Other than that it rained yesterday but today it is beautiful. Pretty uneventful weekend until my little guy threw up in our bed. So I was doing laundry until around midnight, scrubbing, toliets, and bathroom floor. Remember those fun days Angie?, when they are in bed with you and that happens?
I did not do a weigh in this weekend but my pants are feeling a little looser.
Kempy I am curious too? What is going on with all of us, how come we don't post here on the weekends? I know we are all super busy but we have to make the time . Shame on us. I think we all do better when we post .
I took Ashley to the doctor on Friday; she has allergies and has to take Zyrtec. Next Friday she has to have a fasting blood test to check her blood sugar. Fun, fun.
I'm teaching this week and then next week I'll be off. Thank goodness. I'm really looking forward to the time off.j
Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks we'll be able to do something with our backyard. Right now it is nothing but dirt. I want to put in a brick patio and some grass sod. We are looking to put in a small swing, sandbox, and above-ground pool. It will be so nice when it's done. Maybe by then I'll figure out how to post some pictures. Angie wasn't able to post the last pics I sent.
Take care everyone and if anyone has an over abundance of rain, please send some this way.
Hey everyone, just another crazy busy Monday here. We had to let one of our employees go on Friday and we basically worked all weekend to get everything cleaned out and ready for the next victim (um, I mean "employee") . Unfortunately(?) we hired a new plumber and not a new office person *pout*, so today's been a day of transition and headaches... but such is life. My eating's been terrible with all the stress but I know that I am responsible for what goes in my mouth and it's no one's fault but my own if my waistline is expanding .
Cal, you can have this rainy weather we've been having, I'm getting pretty tired of my car being so dirty with the on-again, off-again rain showers. We had a sneak preview of how hot it will be here soon too--Saturday was a scorcher and it was so humid I stayed indoors in the A/C of my office as much as I could.
Julie, glad to see someone is keeping afloat with the healthy eating . Hope your little one's feeling back to his normal self. Ewww, I do remember those nights--running the washing machine at 2 a.m. is not fun while hubby snoozes away, eh? Oh, wait, that's my hubby . Hang in there.
Kempy congrats on being the first one here this morning . We have got to keep this place alive! I don't know what I'd do without you guys, yet I know how it feels to get so lazy that you don't even want to post...
I've got a humungous headache right now, but I just wanted to say hello to everyone else... Angie, Holly, Jacks, everyone!
I am hoping that we can get everyone in here on a little more of a regular basis too. I miss having so many posts to read that I have to come back later to finish them all.
Cal we are in a little bit of a drought here too. I bet we will get pelted soo though. We usually do. It is either feast or famine here. I am sure that now that we have the new landscaping we will not see rain for awhile. I guess that means that I will be dragging the hose around for a few weeks. I hope you figure out your scanner soon, I would love to see pics of your new yard.
Noelle you really should have hired someone to help you. Isn't it time for you to be able to leave that position too. I thought you would be great as the rich boss's wife that gets to spend all day shopping and playing. Wait, that is what I want to do.
Angie, Angie come out where ever you are. What is going on with you now a days? Have you been staying OP? Is Jay still walking with you? I miss you come out and play.
Julie is your little baby still sick? I don't have kids but I know it isn't fun when the puppers are sick.
I just saw this guy and I love him. I don't really have anything that funny but he makes me smile.
I don't have to much to report today so I hope you guys come in so that I can chat a little.
Hi Kempy, ya he is feeling better. I also know what it is like when the dogs get sick. They just do it anywhere too. I am glad you got your yard work in. I was so excited when I looked out my window and saw my tulips pushing through. My grass is still brown but I know soon that will change. Btw is this guy in the gym that is catching your love? Did you watch AJ last night. I felt so bad for the one girl, I can't remember her name but he let her go. She was a total sweetheart but didn't have the body or the looks like the other ones.
Angie where you been girl? Remember we luv ya if you are doing good or not. You don't even have to talk about weight or anything like that, just come and talk girl talk with us. Are your dogs getting all muddy when you let them out? I bet that it is alot of work for ya.
Cal we have been getting rain, I will pray some will come your way!
Noelle I hope the new guy works out for you. It is so hard to find dependable people out there these days. I hope your head is feeling better. It is probally a stress headache. Get Rick tonight to give you a good neck massage. Or even better if you got the time make an appt. for a whole body. I have not had a whole body massage in a long time. But I remember the rest of the day I felt so good like I was floating.
Well I will check in later to see if anyone got time to post. What are everyone's Easter plans? My mil is making something and my mom probally will too, unless she goes to my stepdads relatives. And every year they are at the same damn time. Because we always have to go around my sil work schedule. I just love eating two big meals in a day. Maybe I will just bake a ham here. Ya that sounds like a good idea.
Julie I meant the emoticon I think he is great. The only guy that has my love is my wonderful hubby. I didn't get a chance to watch AJ last night. I was trying to get my stuff together that I ordered for school. My chair and my light. I am so bad at putting things together. Thank goodness Joe was home to help me with it.
Kempy, I know Joe is your one and only love. You guys have a great relationship. But does it hurt to look a little bit ? Just kidding !!!! I am really bad at ordering things too. I am glad Joe helped you out. It sounds like you are going to have all your equipment when you are graduated. You will be all set!
Hello everyone. I have been trying to find the time to post but I havent been getting around to it. Sorry. Saturday I did pretty well dietwise. I had a Wendy's grilled chicken sandwich that totally SUCKED!!! It was boiled. YUCK!! So Sunday was cookie day in the bakery and what can I say...I am a fat pig. So now I have been on a downward spiral and it is getting warm and I am uncomfortable and sick and tired of my fat clothes. I have been walkiing every day but that isnt helping with all the cookies I have been hording.
Sunday was my worst day parenting ever. Brittany has been getting more bossy and pushy and it all came to a head on Sunday. Needless to say I have a few scratches on me and she is grounded probably forever. I have no idea what to do. If she is this bad now how is it going to be when she is 16? YIKES!!!
I think we need to post more too. I know I say this after I havent been here for a while but I did check in all weekend and no one was here. I missed you all.
I invited my parents to go to Florida with us this winter. haha. I might as well as invited them to vacation with the devil. They are thinking about it but I know they wont go. My mom already said she wont go without my dad(even if my sis goes in his place). And I still live near my family why?
I am sorry if my post sounded *****y I didnt mean any of it that way. I just had a few things I needed to ramble on about.
oh yeah Today is Candi's 2nd birthday so I made her and rebel each a donut. I put peanut butter frosting on top with some jelly squirted on top of that with a border of strawberry frosting. I gave them each one and Rebel was trying to eat around the frosting to get to the donut while Candi was licking all the frosting off from hers. When she ate all of hers I let her lick the frosting off from Rebels and she bit the whole top off. It was really cute to watch.
Angie those donuts sound great! You have lucky dogs to have such a nice Mom. Sorry you are having problems with Brittney, I am not looking foward to the pre-teen and teenage years. I hope she starts behaving for you more. Boiled chicken sandwich at Wendy's? That doesn't sound very good at all. I also checked in over the weekend but I guess I don't feel like posting unless someone else is here.
Well not to much going on with me yet. Just wanted to check in and see if anyone was here yet. I am going to go have a late breakfast. Have a great Wednesday everyone. Julie
