Hi Ladies,
Been a couple days since ive been online. I didnt forget about all of you. I find it harder to keep focused on the weekends..Not much has changed..still trying to go to the gym 3 days a week. Weighed myself at the gym on friday, i think i was only down about 1 pound...Sucks. I was doing 15-18 mins on the treadmill and the bike, and ive moved it up to 20mins. So thats good.
My fav movie is Breakfast club. I know retro too.
Have a good day all!!

Congrats on the 1lb loss Krissy

Day 10 OP here i walked 3mls this morning just working on the fluids

Hi ladies - Just a quick line until I have more time to type tonight. My youngest sister went into the hospital today with her first baby! I am so excited, we don't know if this is a false alarm or not but we are keeping our fingers crossed. My mom hopes they'll keep her in because she is having problems walking with her tiny petite frame and this enormous child inside her, ha! I guess for that fact, I'm glad I am tall and with a bigger frame because that would just suck! Anyways, I have some cleaning to do before work - I'll keep you posted later! Byez!!

for your Sister Auntie P

Was working this morning so i have'nt exercised today yet, i'm going to do some gardening anyway in a minute so i'll get some out there

Heh people. Sorry I haven't been posting here. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm going strong, with some slipups, but overall things are looking good.

I'll write later. It's Friday morning here already and I've got work to do before going to the office.

Power to you all!

I just realized that Miss P said a daily question....I was thinking it was weekly...Ooops! I guess I'll go next: Name a place you've always wanted to go and haven't yet. My answer is Ireland

Hi Girls,

Well, i've never really WANTED to go anywhere and i've travelled quite a lot i love Las Vegas tho' but i won't count that as i've been there lots i have'nt been to Hawaii yet so i'll choose that or Mexico.

Down 3lbs this week things are going good

I love to travel... I had never left New England or been on a plane until I was a senior in HS... That year I went to Italy and Florida(class trip)...Then the next year I went to Greece and for my birthday in March we went to Niagara Falls... I haven't done much, but I hope to do more while I still can

Anywho....

Congratulations Cat!!! That is soo awesome!!

I will do a happy dance for you:

WTG Cat! Three pounds is a wicked loss! Share what you have done this week to bring that scale down!

Well, I am still waiting to be an aunt, apparently labor takes a while, ha! I am still the same weight this week, but with my TOM approaching I'm not surprised. I am just happy I didn't gain! I am having pizza tonight, my weakness, I will try to restrain myself to only 1-2 slices as opposed to 6!

Great question Jenn!! I have travelled all over Canada, USA and South American cities. The one place I have always wanted to go is Itlay, my family is from Italian decent so it would be nice to see the country that my ancestors grew up in. Another place would be Australia because those accents make me melt! hehehehehehe.

Anyways, it's a no gym day for me today because I am working a split shift and I am cleaning, vaccuming must burn SOME calories!!

Have a great weekend everyone and keep up the good work

Italy is an awesome choice! You'll love it! My "dad" is full-blooded Italian so Italy was always high on my list too!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your sister And pray for her sake that she has that soon! Poor thing, how long has she been in labor?

Miss P, i'm not doing anything special just counting the cals and exercising weekends are my worst time along with everyone else i suppose so i try to make sure i don't go over 1500 cals if i can. with the pizza! i can eat a whole hawaiian and to think i did'nt even like it until a couple of years ago You must be an Auntie by now what did she get?

Well, today I am going to go to the gym and then start painting my kitchen... sounds like fun, hehe! Sounds like! It looks like it might rain although it was calling for a beautiful sunny and warm weekend, hmmm. As far as this little baby that is suppose to come - I don't think it wants to come out! They sent my sister home on thrusday night with mild contractions about 5mins apart. As far as I know she is still there because I haven't gotten the phone call. I always thought they kept you in the hospital as soon as you start having contractions - shows you how many babies I've had! hehe! Anyways, this is a short one - happy saturday everyone!!

PS. I had three pieces of greek style pizza - I might be up on the scale this week, but I am going to cardio it all out at the gym if I can!

Responding to the question of where you want to go . . I never think of things like that anymore although I used to all the time. For some reason, Kathmandu popped into my head. I used to live in India, not far from Nepal but didn't travel at all. I know Kath has become really ruined by the influx of businesses. I think there's even a Mac's there, God! But for some reason I think I'd still like to go. Maybe it's the mountains calling.

As for the weight loss/exercise, yesterday was a day off. I need it badly, though yesterday I felt like I could have worked out at the gym after work. Maybe that was because I knew I was taking the day off. Eating went well till I got home and then I started eating crap I didn't even want. Still, I ate a big salad and some fruit during the day and was surprised that I didn't really feel like pigging out. I'm going to force myself to eat things like this and then maybe I won't even want to eat the junk.

The morning weigh-in is still before me but I don't expect much, not with the stuff I ate last night no doubt sitting heavy. I don't deserve a loss. Maybe that's the psychological sabotage I'm putting myself through. If I pig out I can feel I don't deserve what I don't get and then have a ready excuse, whereas if I do well and stick to my plan and then don't lose weight I feel frustrated, deprived and irritated, as I do with so much of my life. Food for thought. . .

Red -I hope this question doesn't sound ignorant but what kind of junk food do they have in Tokyo? Is it the same as here, chips, pop, McDonalds?? You sound like you've seen alot of the world!

As for me, I went to the gym yesterday and had a fabulous workout, burnt 700 calories and sweated out the pizza... but because we are painting the kitchen, my fiance thought we should get takeout, so we got Wendy's (a weakness), I got their crispy chicken salad, omg it is SO good! But I also got the breaded chicken strips with ranch dressing, so that kinda ruined it! I am going to the gym in about an hour so I plan on burning it all off! Why oh why do I fail on the weekends with my eating, if only I was as good for those two days as I am for the five monday to friday!!!! Anyways, I took out chicken for tonight and I will have a healthy dinner, so help me! HA! Anyways, I hope everyone is having a groovy weekend!

Here's a question to start this beautiful sunday as I hear the little birdies chirping....- What is your favoraite season and why?

My favoraite season is fall, growing up back in Ontario I was spoiled with all the beautiful fall colours on the trees like the brilliant reds, golds, and oranges. I love the smell of fall when you go for a walk and smell someone's fireplace going for the first time of the year. I enjoy watching all the children jump into the piles of leaves that their parents so dilligently raked on a saturday afternoon. And nothing beats shopping for that cozy sweater that you will snuggle into through the chilly nights. That's why I love FALL!!!

Ciao Bellas!

Good question Miss P! I think my answer would have to be Spring, because the weather warms up and everything is "reborn".
