thanks everyone for the advice... Im gonna see if maybe james would like to go monday... well james is back with subway yummyyyyyy............ talk to u girlies later.. heather ( i feel like i never get to post long post like i want too)

hey ladies:

quick updates before bed.

had a great day with food and exercise. for exercise i did my leslie sansone walk away the pounds 4mile challenge in the morning and then in the evening we went to the park and i walked 2.5 miles so im pooped....

cristi- flash floods??? when we went to the park my husband took the two oldest kids down to the other side to fish only to realize that there was only about 6" of water in the river so he took them back up to play on the equipment while i strolled the baby.

susan-- oh i am so happy for you 144.5 that is so wonderful.... that is only 4.5 pounds heavier than my goal... you lucky ducky! lol

angie-- lack of sleep can really throw the body out of wack... i hope you sweet dreams soon.

jana--(((hugs))) bless your heart.

marti--- good luck with mama cat on wednesday. sorry your husband has to go away. do you know for how long??? ill be thinking of you.


well, guess this is all for now, im going to bed. whatever time this registers as being posted, its an hour later here.

melt those pounds, tj

ok- I am going to bed.

Look forward to hearing about you and James going to the pool and having fun, Heather!! btw- saw your picture, you are very pretty!!

TJ- you walked 7. 5 miles?????? wow,I would be pooped as well.There was an article in the paper today about wearing ped???? forgot the spelling, where it tracks how much you walk in a day.........anyway, one lady walked to and from work- 10 mile round trip thing. 3-4 miles is more my speed.......if I ever get around to it......been soooooo lazy.

Jana- thinking of watermelon and thinking of you! Have enough time to walk to the store and grab a seedless wadder melon.......what does WW point it at?? It isn't a bad thing is it??
I think Les will be like a distant friend.....lol.I think he is a nice man but could never see us together.I just kind of want a man that treats me great right from the get go........don't like "wishy washy , don't know what I want, waaaaah, waaaaah kind of guys.".......lol. Though I will always make room for laughter.

RK- went to your church tonight and had a wonderful turkey dinner! The people there who prepared it and served it were sooooooo kind and friendly.

K- watermelon calls.

I talked with Mike and heard Gaby wimpering in the background, obviously tired. Annoyed me some and told him to "get her to bed!!!!" geesh....if I wasn't on call I would run over there and get her. So , he said he would get her to bed...........want her back now.

Rachel and Becky are doing an overnight with all the girls, enjoyed spending the day with them.

Now I am going to read and eat watermelon.

Pretty exciting, eh??? lol.........

take care!!!

Good Morning Ladies:

well, slept like a log last night. i hope this will pay off when i weigh in on thursday!!! if I stay the same or gain (even though the whole 1# of muscle takes up less space than 1# of fat thing) i dont care i want the scale to say less as a reward for this hard work. i kept telling myself during the park walk..."keep going the jaded ladies are watching" lol it worked!!!

as for a pedometer, i have one i bought at wal*mart for $8.00 it works ok and then i have several from the go active meals from mcdonalds that count your steps only its ok if you wear in on your belly button its more accurate. when i go to the park i know that one lap is 1/2 mile because there is a sign there that tells me lol. i also go to a walking trail that they put up signs every mile so you know how far out you are. it used to be a railway and they took out the tracks, paved it and call it the "rails to trails walking/biking trail. its pretty cool right now they have 30 consecutive miles done i've did this end of it (about 8 miles) and of did the other end (about 10 miles) when i rode a bike. it goes way back into the country and is gorgeous. i am afraid to go alone though because it can become isolated. ya know.

well, i hope everyone has a good day. ill try to check in again tonight. tj

Morning girls--

I don't have time to post....I almost didn't make it here this morning.....going to spend the entire day with my absolute best friend!!!

Just wanted to say good morning and will try to find time later on for individuals!!

Marti

Good Morning Ladies,

Heather - yay for you deciding to go swimming after all. I know that when I go, I am so worried about my own blimpy body that I don't pay a lot of attention to others. And you aren't that big!

TJ - wow, you're really doing great with the food and exercise! Glad you had fun at the park with your family.

Susan - WW says 1 cup of watermelon is 1 point. But I feel that the diuretic properties in it should make it less, lol. Do you think that once Mike gets used to Gaby's schedule, he'll do better?

Marti - hope you have a great time with your sweetie today!

Hi to all the other JLs!

Well, it is down right cold here in Indiana, lol. It was 56 when we left for church this morning... and rainy, too. But I still have the windows up. Saving $$ on the a/c bill, lol.

Sunday dinner is in the oven, and life is good! Hope all you JLs are having a great day!

BBL,

Okay, not sure how I missed most of Page 4 on Chit Chat #61??? I guess my mind has been elsewhere. Anyway...don't really have time to post, (especially since I missed a whole page ) but wanted to say Hi. I will try to catch up later.

Do want to say Susan, I am getting some photos in the (snail) mail tomorrow for ya-I didn't forget, just got a little sidetracked but thank you for reminding me! I also see, and understand now about Les. Nothing like having a good friend to chit chat and laugh with, and who knows, maybe it will turn into something.

See you ladies later.

I can hardly keep up with all the posts. I'm lucky to get in here once a day. I suppose if I got up a little earlier in the morning, I would have time for a whole lot more! I'm such a lazy butt sometimes!

Last night we went out to dinner at a place called the Mongolian Grill. I have to say, I was pleasantly suprised. It is sort of like a buffet, you get a big bowl, pick out whatever veggies you want, choose your meat, and your own sauce, and then they stir fry it in front of you. That can turn out to be a really healthy meal. And for 8.50 for the large bowl, I can easily get 2 meals out of it! I may go back again this week!

Jana - Congrats on another loss! You are amazing! I'm hoping that the certification involves a raise, but probably not much. I'm not due for my yearly eval until Jan. Maybe I could have it done by then. I've found a couple of websites that I need to research more.

Marti - Good luck with your mama cat on Wed. I hope yours turns out less eventful than mine!

TJ - Your walking sounds wonderful. I have a pedometer too. I count steps instead of miles with it. My goal is always to have over 8000 without any formal walking, just in my daily routine. Then any exercise that I do is better than that.

Susan - just be careful with Les. I agree, not much for the wishy washy type. Make up your mind already.

Heather - Good for you for going swimming! Life is too short to worry what everyone else things. You are about my weight. How tall are you? My goal is to be 140-142 by Labor Day! Wanna race?!

Does anyone else follow pro football? In case you didn't know, I follow the Miami Dolphins. Bad news today. Ricky Williams, their running back, announced he is retiring. He is such a flake. No good reason. He's not old. But anyway, it makes for the beginning of a terrible season.

Well, I have to get busy out in the yard, mowing, trimming, weeds, etc. It's already 1pm!

Jen

Good Afternoon,

1 point for one cup of watermelon??? How many points can you have in a day?? Figure the watermelon was 6 cups or so.........
Last night I bought another small one and gobbled that up before bedtime.Woke up twice in the night about to burst my side........what a pain.

Thanks for the pictures Cristi

So, I escaped being a "mom' for a second and came to the library. Took the girls to church and afterward to B & J- went to my place and waited for Gabrielle. SOOOOOOOO good to see her and snuggle.
I suppose Mike just needs to get educated and learn through trial and error.If not I will be yelling at him a lot.......lol
Poor Guy.......
He had a tough visit with his older daughter (11 years old)She was in a play and he was taking her back and forth to that - after the first showing the ex showed up and took her home for dinner. Last night she came over to give her ballons for a grand proformance at Grandpa's......at 11pm at night, after every one was in bed. Mike told her he didn't like that- they don't get along as it is but he felt she was butting into his time. This morning the daughter was upset with the conversation between daddy and mommy - didn't want to go to church and Mike said...........ok do you want to go home??? Where she said ya.....so, she did......lol
11 year old is kind of jealous of Gaby as well...........and WELCOME to parenthood , Mike!!lol
Anyway, he went home discouraged.

Hope the swimming works out Heather! Your yard work sounds wonderful Jen....miss working in the yard.

Is your best friend James, Marti?? Just a guess........lol.......you have a sweet love story.

better get back before the kiddies send out the posse. Very nice on call weekend though, only 2 calls for locl outs.

ttfn

sounds like everybody is doing great!!!!

heres the run down of my day: I went outside and staked my tomatoes. I have 24 maters on 6 vines. I cannot wait for them to get ripe. Yummy!!!

I didn't get to exercise today. Too busy getting my husband packed up to go back to work for the week. Thats ok though I'm gonna get up early in the morning before the kids get up and exercise..... had a real good day with food.

One comment: Watermelon, I luv it and one summer I lived on nothing but raw fruits and veggies eating all I wanted and because they are a negative calorie food, I lost 50#!!! Enjoy!

Well, guess this is all for tonight. I'll check in tomorrow.

tj

heather

Evening ladies--

So much chit chatting going on! I only have a moment though...been off and on the computer part of the day to try and catch up only to get back off to do some things around the house.

Went up to Eugene today with James...did some window shopping and then went and had lunch. Was a nice afternoon. James is waiting until tomorrow morning to leave for Portland so that's nice.

Since there is so much talking today and I have been on the computer for only a few mins. I will do my individuals tomorrow morning.....don't want to you think I'm neglecting you girls.

Sounds like everyone is having a great weekend.

Take Care Ladies

Marti

Hello Ladies,

Susan, life is rough when your a parent and don't have all the skills,,,at least he knows that. I have not eaten watermelon in years,,,don't like the smell of any melons...*Shudder actually feel yucky
I did too much this weekend and feel exhausted. I had about 8 hours of sleep the whole weekend. Ive been working on the case about 30 hours in the last 3 days. And I am now going to bed.
