Hi Ladies!!! I'm so sorry I've been MIA this weekend, but it's been pretty darned busy around here, I'll be lucky to finish my post now! LOL

First off, Great job on the weight loss Michelle! Penny, I'm very glad to make your aquaintence as well, you sound like you are doing a fantastic job with your pound loss also!!!

Leigh, that was really sweet of hubby to be so supportive and to talk so well of how you are doing, my hubby is really attentive to that as well, and it really does inspire you to keep up the good work. Great job on getting up early to get some things done for yourself. I'm actually jumping on that bandwagon as well and I'm going to be all official about it starting Monday, wish me luck cause it wont be easy! LOL I'm sorry DH will be away for a bit, I know it can be difficult and it's hard not to worry. Try and rent some good "chick" flicks while he's away, that the only time I get to see good dramas is when Steve is away.

Penny it totally never fails, you steam clean the carpet and someone has a big accident! And to top it all of you can't even be mad about it. LOL I sure hope he's feeling better by tomorrow, poor little buddy. Give him some extra hugs and snuggles.

Crystal I'm so glad you were able to have a nice b-day celebration for Ally. Sorry that the family was being kind of a pain in the arse! I have some friends that are kind of like that as well, like the world revolves around them most of the time. Why the heck should you rush Ally on her special day for them. Some people can drive you to drink the hard stuff I tell ya!

Geri, I don't know how you can stand feakin mosquitios, they drive me nuts, and we don't have hardly any where I live at the moment. I'm like you, I can't stand the smell of repellant, it's pretty nasty, but I guess it would have to done if you want to get outside and garden. Whatcha growing? I didn't get anything planted and I have a ton of seeds for veggies, but I'm guessing it's too late to start anything. Oh well, better luck next year for me.

Cyndi, that's great news about Seth, gosh you've been dealing with a lot lately. Fingers are crossed that now that Christian is on the mend that you'll get some normalcy to your day. You really deserve it, you are a good mom.

By the way Michelle, I totally agree with everyone that housework sure as heck is considered working out! Great job on moving your body, you are doing a fantastic job.

Hey Ricci, hope you had a nice weekend!

OK, so what's new with me, not much time...The short of it is we did really well at our tag sale, made a little over $300. Yeah, Today we've been at the zoo, which was a blast, even though Logan and Ethan didn't see that many animals, the had fun and we had fun hanging out with another family. It was really nice.

I'm still very much on program, it's hard, but I'm still going for it. I don't know if I"ve lost any more weight, but I'm sure it will slow down drastically this week since I lost so much last week. My body lovvvvves to fight me on this, so it may be a couple of weeks before i see more loss, but that's ok

I gotta run, check in tomorrow with all you lovely ladies,
Di

Good Afternoon Ladies!

Michelle,
Congrats on the one pound loss today! That is great! I think a loss is a loss! I know you wish it was more (so did I too) but slow and steady wins the race, right!

Ricci,
So how was the movie? And please let me know how The Day After Tomorrow is! We took the kids to go see Shrek 2 the other day. It was really cute ;)

Di,
I am glad to have a new face around. I was gonna ask you.. Did you do your measurements when you started SB? I know you lose alot of inches when on program. I know I have. Ex. I have went from a 36 waist to a 31 right now. Congrats on staying on program! You are doing awesome!

Crystal,
Of course we wanna hear what Ally got for her bday! I am sorry the party guest cut it short but as long as Ally had fun, that is all that counts!

Cindi,
I am dying to know did you get to the 100s????? Come on, don't keep me in suspense! LOL :lol: You are doing great either way!

Leigh,
The Ben and Jerrys sounds great! Enjoy it! You deserve it!

As for us,
Nicholas is going much better but we missed our bday party at the children's museum. I didn't want to chance the other kids getting sick!

Dh got our 6 man tent out the shed and put it up in the living room! LOL The "men" are camping out tonight! It is so cute!

Anyhow,
I will be extremely busy this week getting ready for Andrew's party. I know everyone says not to have a big party for little ones, but we have over 100 people invited. It is sort of a tradition in our family to invite the entire family for the first bday. We are renting the big water slide and having the outside bash. Ok here is my game plan.... LOL

Monday is straightening the house.
Tuesday is my baby's first haircut.. sob sob
Wednesday is one year old pics.
Thursday is all the shopping day for all the food and drinks and such
Friday is grassing cutting, weedeating and cleaning the yard.

Have a wonderful night and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Spryng please let us know how everything is going :) And everyone else out there! Have a great one! :)

Gonna start a new thread!~

See ya' there :)
