Happy Friday Everyone. It's been so busy at work I haven't had time to catch up. This week has been so strange - I didn't journal at ALL. I start out the days trying to keep track in my head and then by dinnertime, lose it and just say "whatever"! So, it may not be a good weigh in. I'm going to visit family out of town tonite and so I'm going to weigh in at lunchtime instead of early tomorrow morning, and I'm wearing jeans and everything and somehow I'm freaking out about that. I wore shorts and a t-shirt last weekend.

I haven't been eating many veggies this week either. This is totally old-school, but we defrosted our freezer today - yes, we have an old fridge - so we had to eat everything up and we've been eating out most of the week - not horribly bad stuff, I tried to make the best decision. I've gone to the gym three nights this week. I hope I break even, jeans and all.

I need to stop playing this weigh-in game though.

I need to be more dilligent about the gym too.

Good morning ladies!! I am feeling much better. The only good thing that came out of it was that food just didn't tase very good, adn so far I am posting a loss. I will WI tomorrow morning and see what it says. Dh and I are going to a White Sox game tonight, his boss gave him the tickets, so it is really a treat because we did not have to pay for them. I am a little excited because THis is our first game this season. We are taking all the kiddies in two weeks. it will be our youngest daughter's first game. I can't wait to take them all!

I am off to a slow start today, and I have to get my behind in action. Later chicas!

Hi Ladies,

Just got back from the doc. She put me on Levbid for my bowel issue, took 4 tubes of blood for various testing, and I have to do the poo test and mail it in. How exciting. Depending on the results, will determine a colonscopy (sp). As for my depression over the weight issue, that I need to get it in my head before I could get it otherwise. My first WI w/WW is today at lunch for our at work program.

God give me the strength to do this for more than a few days, or weeks.

Hope all is well with all you lovely ladies.

Have a marvy weekend.

Annie

Good morning, just checking in to let you know that I'm 2lbs lighter

You ladies are so special!!!!

Today started with minor drama. DH is hard of hearing. DD crawls into bed and asks if she can hold her guinea pig, DH hears, the guinea pig is out. He says , WHERE are the cats??. She starts to cry. He yells. I roll over and put the pillow over my head.

The same type of thing happens with DS. I woke to both kids in their rooms crying.Life is smoother when he gets up and leaves for work at 6:30.

I forgot to feed the pets last night. I went to bed at 9 to try and get over this head cold.
They were very happy to see me this morning.

I have read the newspaper online. Drank 2 coffees.

We finally had some rain. The dryness is scary. Our ground was parched and cracked. In APRIL!! They have 6 ft cedar trees on sale at walmart for $25. I will get one for in front of the deck, in front of my swing so I can sit out without an audience.

The house across the road sold! New neighbours. Hoping for kids.There are only 6 houses here. 3 are retirees. (Nice retirees!!)

Trying hard to take the Leadership with Avon to the next level.

My weight is on the back burner as a priority but I am not going wild. I found I was only feeling like a failure and it was spilling over into my thoughts about other parts of my life.
I have mostly been purging around the house and getting it streamlined and it has WORKED. it only takes about a half hour to tidy the main floor then I can dust and vacuum. It used to take 4 hours just to put stuff away. The kids have been more on the ball too. Watching favourite toys get tossed in the garbage works!

The Battle Axe Brigade was fairly well behaved on Sunday. They ARE obsessed with their appearances but it is easy to ignore because they dont comment on mine any more. Very afraid! LOL!!!!!!!!!

The evil aunt looked like death warmed over.

We have NO plans or church this weekend!!!!!


HUGS for all!!!!!!!

WOW!, We had a busy day. The county had a free hauloff day. so we took advantage and hauled off 6 pickup loads of building scrapes. I'm glad all of it's gone.

I did make it to curves 3x this week. The owner has got me doing the advanced workout. You skip the recovery stations and go around 4x. You feel like you had a workout.

I'm still messing up on my food, but not as bad
I'm glad to see everyone is doing well. I'll try to post more regularly.

Hey everyone,
I've had a good day, I ate less. I know I went over on my pts but, much better than I have been doing lately. I've been very busy. worked in the garden a couple of hours, went grocery shopping, did 4 loads of laundry, and cleaned in general.
I slept well last night. That is probably where I got all this energy.
I really have plans to get back op. I plan to get to curves 3x next week.
I bought plenty of fresh fruits and veggies....

What I really need is

Hope everyone is having a great w-end.

for all of us.

Hello everyone. I'm still learning my way around this site, but I hope you don't mind me popping in here.

I am wanting to lose about 110 pounds total, but my only real concern is the first 40 (to be at 199!!) I don't have a goal time, just preferably before my 25th birthday (in a year and a half!)

Good morning ladies!!!

I ahd a vey busy weekend, and I ate too much, but I am feeling good today, and I am not going to let anything get in my way to lose this weight. I was doing good last week, so I am off to re-start, and hopefully show some results!!!

Deb~ I LOVE fresh fruit and veg. Just wish someone would wash and cut them up for me..........lazy eh!

I am hacking. I felt pretty good yesterday and over did it after a day mostly in bed on Sat.
Just 3 little people today. Big kids are launched to school and were quite pleasant.
Going to story time at 10. MUST do taxes; due on the 30th.
Weight is stagnant. Body aches( cold).
AVON has a new hip hop cardio work out, 3- 10 min segments. It really appeals to me. I will order one. Most work ut things dont catch my interest. Maybe this is something that will get me moving.

HUGS!!!

Monday, Monday,

Weighed in on Friday for WW. OMG what a scary number that digital put out. YIKES!

Holly - I thought about you several times on Saturday. I planted 2 trees, four pine trees, put my little bitty garden out, fixed the wooden fence, and sprayed for weeds. I was out in the sun (79 degrees) all day long till dark. It was the most theraputic (SP) thing I have done in months. It felt great to be out in it. I got a little sunburned, however it is turning to tan already. What a great day.

Entire body was aching on Sunday, including my fingers from digging holes to plant trees and pines.

Eating was not the greatest but much better in the past. I think the Saturday work out helped. Took a walk at lunch today for 25 minutes, brisk walk. Could of gone for longer but my lower back was killing me. SHeesh, I must be getting old. haha

Best get back at it. Have a terrific evening.

Annie

Edited my signature line to match my new start weight. Holy Cow.

YeaH!!!!!! Annie!!!!!!!!! Gardening is soooo good for the soul.Good exercise too!!!!!

All the kids wee snotty and hacking too so we stayed home. Big kids arrive shortly.
I am fadiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggg.

Hi ladies,
sorry I've been away for so long. I really am because I have learned that if I'm not checking in daily that I end up gaining. So I'm back here and have to say that I've gained 2 pounds since I've last posted. Makes me disappointed in myself. I have been out walking some though, just eating too much.
I see there are some new people here and that's great!
Hollyhock, oh I'm so sad for your troubles,
Annie, the whole sons finger thing makes me shudder.
Well, I'm offically back at it now,

Hey everyone,
I have had my first fully op day in several weeks
I even have 2.5 pts left for the day.
I made it to curves and did the advanced wo 4x. It makes me feel like I have hope...
I'm BAAAACK

Diana: Good to hear from you.

Holly: Hope you and your little angels are feeling better...

Spring is a great time for renewal...I for one am taking time to recommit my self to getting fit. I'm too old to be thin and sexy so I'll settle for fit and healthy...LOL

Later my friends
