We had a great weekend after a looong week. It was hubby's 45th on Sun.
I spent most of the day cleaning and then made his fav supper.
Yesterday was super busy. Put in an Avon order last night.
Today is the first day in a month i feel well, healthy, happy and somewhat "normal"!!!!
Hey, Lilybutt!!
Sunshine!!!!!!! You look great. The difference is amazing!!! Keep going.
HUGS~UPS

Hi aahhee!
Good evening everyone,
I like my new position. I'm both inside and out. I'm glad I'm not tied to a desk.
I stayed in my pts range and made it to curves. I had to go after work so I really felt it. I've not done as well all month. I WI on 2/7 and I doubt I'll have a loss. I going to try to do better til then...NO, I AM GOING TO DO BETTER
Holly: Describe "NORMAL"...LOL. I don't believe in it.
Aahhee: You can just change the numbers, but its easier to follow the steps.
Sunshine: You are true inspiration...
Labchick: We are glad to have you back. Glad you are feeling better.
Hi all! I have been very busy, but all is better now. my mom and sister are on their way back and I can't wait to see them~I bet they got tan. I am feeling better, whatever I had I either fought it off through the week, or it was just short lived. I was a good girl and laid around all day yesterday and pushed the vit-c I wsa so much better today I got to go to work!!! What fun. I have been doing well food wise, and since I will be down to just my three kiddies tomorrow I will get a chance to exercise!!!. I am hoping to get it in tomorrow and Friday, but I have so much to do b4 DH and I leave on Monday. I will have to see. ((huggs)) to all. You are all doing so great!!!
Deb~ glad it is going well. "Normal" for ME!! LOL!!!!
UPS~ glad you are feeling better
Feelin groovy here!!!
I was up early again!!! I am now seeing it was the virus I had that was hindering my ability to function well. I really dont do sick well.
I left the dishes last night. I worked all day(6 kids) and then took DD to gym and DS came to practise reading, home at 7:45, jammies,teeth and to bed for the kids. I decided just to relax after 14 hours straight child care.
DH did run the dishwasher.
I have a quiet day with 3 preschoolers.The kitchen and it’s floor are on the agenda.
Need to stamp more Avon books.
I did 3 sets of 5 rounds of Sun Salutation. Last week I could barely get my body to do 1 round I was so weak.
Now to eat with awareness.
2 kids go home at 1pm. I will take the 3yo and go to town and do banking get hubby's plate sticker and putter around.
Tidbit One: I am craving coffee and cookies but they will NOT give my energy,they will deplete my system.
Tidbit Two: On the John Tesh radio show they said:
To burn the calories from ONE, single, tiny Plain Chocolate M&M a person needs to walk the length of a football field( 200 ft).
For some reason this put a very clear pic in my head of how much I eat that I dont burn up or use.
How many calories does thinking or loving burn up??? I do a lot of those.
Holly~I love that little tidbit. I can't believe that you hafe to walk that far for one little M&M Good thing I have not been near those in a long time.
Things are much quieter now. It was actually an enjoyable day with my three little ones. I am a little behind in my housework because I got them all to take naps yesterday afternoon, and I took one too. I think this virus is just wearing me out. I am not having symptoms anymore, but I am still exhausted. Will have to take it easier on the cruise. 3 days and counting, and I am still not packed!!! I still have to put together bag for the kids to take to g-ma's house. DH will be home soon and he will help. Later chicas
Hello,
I am happy to report that I have been doing well all week. I've been keeping my points within range (except on Monday and it was only over by 1). I'm hoping that it will all show up on the scale tonight.
I'm trying a new water workout tonight at the Y. I'm looking forward to it.
Went to the movies last night with the group of gals that go each month. We have so much fun! We went to see "Last Holiday". It's a very cute and very moving movie.
It got me to thinking that I do wait a lot of times in my life to try things until I'm this or that. Well, no more. Life is meant to be lived. I might want to change things and that is ok, but I won't wait until those things change to do the things that are in my "Possibility" book. I don't have a real one of these, but I sure do have one in my head.
Well..lunch in almost over, so I must run. Hope to catch up on personals soon.
2 kids gone home, 1 napping, 2 in my bed watching TV and 2 other having a snack. Dh and DS leave for hockey practice in a half hour. They has weiners and beans for an early supper. I am thinking DD and I might go to the diner in town!
Half the Avon order is unpacked and bagged. I got a new shower gel with micro beads!!!!
Hyrdotherapy Massage Wash!!!!
Do ya think my sales are so good cause I LOVE the stuff!! Got a new sparkly orangeish polish for my toes too. Pedicures tonight too. Wish the practise was longer.
Got some vacuuming done!
HUGS!!
Hey Iggie - are you still there? Your last post was in 2004? You sound like me!! I am 5'2", 58 and started at 209 the week before Christmas. I'm down to 194.5 now. Dang, it is hard. I'm not a grandmother yet, but both my girls are getting married within the next year. I want to be able to enjoy shopping for a dress to wear.
Hey ladies.....glad to hear everyone sounds chipper and happy and like you are doing well.
I'm frustrated!!! Still not really anything to report as far as weight loss goes. I went to the dr last friday and I had lost 5 lbs but that is all. I've been dieting 4 weeks and I'm doing well I think and then step on the scales to that. My blood pressure was real good though at the dr. I talked to her about diet and she said that if I hadn't lost in 6 to 8 weeks to come by and she'd test my thyroid. However, I had it tested last January and it was fine. So I don't know what the problem is.
Oh but the best has to be.....if you've been reading my posts you know the crap Ed has put me through and how he has cheated on dieting and eats all kinds of bad things, won't exercise for nothing....well he's lost 12 lbs. And of course he has to rub it in my face. It's just not fair.
Ed called me up earlier and told me not to make any plans for tonight so I'm assuming he's wanting to go out to eat. I might as well go and pig out for all the good eating right is doing me.
What plans does everyone have for the weekend? I don't have any plans, I'm just real glad it's friday though. Been a long week.
Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend.
Stacy
Hey guys,
OMG! My job is crazy on friday's. My phone rings constantly, I also have a radio. and I'm responsible for customers who walk in. All at once. I get a call about they can't find a car, I have a co-worker needing my help standing in the rain waiting, and I'm trying to help a customer who speaks very little english. 3 times I signed myself out of the computer. No body complained but I felt like screaming.
I'm over my point by 1 for the day but I have all my 35 wkly pts. I made it to curves this evening ( I needed the stress relief) .
Stacy: 5 lbs is a great loss!!!
My husband is like that too. He can cheat and drop 20 lbs in a couple of weeks.
Holly: I'll ready for a pedicure. Wish you were closer.
I'm a happy camper these days. I haven't lost any more weight, but I have been able to hold steady and that helps. I cheated last night with pizza, but you have to live every once in a while too. My sister-in-law treated me to a manicure yesterday and I had forgotten how much fun it is to pamper youself every so often. I had so much fun with it, I got my hair done too. I hope all of you are kicking a$$ and taking no prisoners with your weight loss!
Gotta get everything ready for watching the superbowl. Check back later,
I'm down 2 more pounds and I hope it stays that way (or moves even lower when I weigh in on Tuesday morning! Weekends are my biggest challenge. Either we're out running errands and eat at least one meal in a restaurant, or we're home the entire time and I munch mindlessly! I can't win! I don't have much willpower. I can't usually talk myself out of something, even if I'm not hungry. I have gotten much better with exercising, which helps, but I know it's not enough by itself. Oh, well.......hopefully the success I see with exercise will encourage me to make better choices when it comes to food.
You are true inspiration...
