Yep, thats the best way Meg :yes: i used to get up and put my workout gear on straight away so that "i knew" i was going to do it :lol: and that worked too. I should try that trick again, :thanks:

Hi guys. Day 3 at the gym went well, but in a LOT of pain from yesterday. Tomorrow I lift weights for my arms. Hope I can waitress afterwards!

How is everyone? Enjoying the weather I hope!

Talk to you later - meg

Don't overdo it Meg :nono: experiencing pain is how your body tells you to slow down :yes: maybe do some aerobic and give your muscles time to recover ;) Great Job btw :cp:

I have'nt been exercising at all :( been getting very little sleep and i've felt rotten all week :tired: I managed to sleep last night and feel much better today. I wish I was like hubby, he sleeps like a baby EVERY night and bounces out of bed every morning refreshed and ready to take on the world :cb: I get up and feel like i've been hit by a bus :rofl: its just not fair :rollpin:

My best friends Dad died yesterday so I was on the phone to England this morning to give my condolences :cry: she was holding up pretty well but said that it will hit her again at the funeral next week :( I came off the phone feeling very homesick cuz she was getting ready to go out and if i'd been there I would have been going out with her :dunno: I don't think i'll get there again this year with going in Feb and with having a job so I said I'll definitely go next year and we'll have a holiday together :D

Have a Great Weekend Ladies :wave:

Cathy - sorry to hear about your friend's loss. And I am sorry that you are homesick. But like you said, the two of you can catch up next year.

Today was my upper body workout, and I didn't want to overdo it, so I only used 5 pound weights. I did all the exercises, just didn't want to kill myself again like on Wednesday.

Tomorrow, cardio, hair cut and color, and work (I don't like that last one!)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Meg

Just a quick note to tell you I am a grandma again.. Little Jaxon Alexander was born this morning in Calif... he weighed 7 lb. 11 oz... 20 inches. Now I can't wait to go Calif. and see him and his brother...:) I am very excited...

Will post more later...
Cathy sorry about your friends loss,

Dahlia - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! How VERY exciting! When do you leave?

CONGRATULATIONS Grandma Dahlia :cp: :balloons:

Ladies, Ladies,
WE fell off the page again. Just thought I'd bring us back up to the top again. Been working my tail off getting things closed up for the season. Today and tomorrow are our last days in retail. The wholesale side is still in full swing and stays that way all year round. I'll be in the office full time for a while getting things recorded and sorted out and ready for the next season. Today is my oldest son's b/day. He is 31.. wow, that makes me feel much older, course as my hubby says, I was 14 when I had him.. :lol: (not really but was nice of him to say so). We are going out to dinner with him and his g/f and our youngest son and his g/f, whom is soon to be his fianace'. So will have a wedding to be planning over the next many months. I think they will wait till he graduates college next year.. but we will see.

That is all that is happening here. I am maintaining at my low weight so feel good about that.. plan to start back at Curves starting Monday.. so will see if that will encourage more weight loss.

Take care all, and hope to see some posts by this evening.

Dahlia

Dahlia, sounds like you are keeping busy.

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday, and really want to fit it in today. I must admit, doing it first thing in the morning really solves the problem for me. I need to go back to that for tomorrow morning.

Today I took the day off from waitressing to work at a housing fair with my new real estate job. Unfortunately, I don't know if I am getting paid. At least I will get a chance to talk with him and see some of the marketing materials.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Meg

Hi Ladies,

I had to abstain from the internet for a couple of days to get housework and gardening done :rofl: if I come on here then I may as well forget about getting any major jobs done :lol: I'm here for hours :eek:

Gosh Dahlia, the time went by so fast :yikes: it does'nt seem that long ago that you were getting ready to open!

Meg, How did the housing fair go? Did you enjoy it?

Howdy Ladies :wave: or should I say Missing Ladies :lol:

Not much to say :dunno: I treadmilled 4mls yesterday the first in about 3 weeks :yikes: trying to be good with the calories :rolleyes:

I'll bump this up again in case anyone pops back :rolleyes:

Walked another 4mls on Wednesday and 5.25mls this morning :tread: eating too much tho' :(

Hi guys. Have we all fallen off the wagon? I am holding my own, but doing alot of waitressing, sewing, and sleeping. I am really tired recently. Can't seem to make it to the gym.

The weather in Chicago is great right now. Hope all of you are out enjoying the summer!

Talk to you soon! Meg

Helllllllllo :)
 

Hey Yall~

Mercy it's been about 100 years since I've stopped by here. My sign in said last time I'd been here was Oct of 2003 :yikes:

Anyway, just wanted to stop in here and say hello to you all. I see some familiar names still. Thats nice. I'm starting fresh tomorrow and thought getting back to some accountablility was probably the best thing to do.

Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

Hi Meg and Cheri :wave: Gosh Cheri has it been that long? :yikes:

I thought I was going to have to post here that this thread was 'dead' :lol: cuz its been so quiet :( I'm glad that you both decided to drop by :) I'm currently up to 21 miles for July :dunno: could do better but i'm busy with yardwork. I will definitely clock up more miles that last month :yes:
