Afternoon, yall...
 

Yall are some crazy posting girls today. :)

Crystal--We are starting the 30th. Nathan will turn 6 on Sept. 11th he is going to be doing kindergarden stuff for the most part. I think we're going to end up doing 1st grade math though. Daniel will be 4 at the end of this month (29th) and I'm doing much the same thing with him, that you are. I'm printing him out letter worksheets and stuff that corresponds with our cirriculum and he can ''do school'' too. I'm using FIAR (fiveinarow.com) and then supplementing a good bit too. But the FIAR will easily include Daniel. I plan to have the boys tested every couple of years. Are you a member of HSLDA?

Spryng--thank you for your encouragement re:my getting back on plan. Its like I was taking with my hubby. This time, this is truly a lifetime change. Even on the days that I was off plan at lunch I still exercised. Because I'm going to eat off plan at times in my life...but the goal and idea is to not let my food choices dictate my success at having a heathy lifestyle. In other words not thowing it all to the wind when I do eat off plan. :)

Ok, let me get some housework done. :)

Hugs to everyone. :)

Hello Ladies!!
I used to post here and then I stopped for a while, came back and then stopped again. DH was hogging the computer for a while, even tho he has his own. This time I'm back for good.

A little about me, DH and I have been married for 4 years. We have 2 little ones, Reina, who will be 3 on the 20th of this month and Devin who is almost 19 months. They keep me pretty busy, as you all know. We live in Germany and have been here almost 2 years and may be here another 2, we'll see.

I started WW on June 13th when I realized that I was going to turn 30 in 6 months and have since lost 11.5 lbs. I also started running recently doing a couch to 5k program which I am truly enjoying, Honestly!!

Any Hoo- Hello- Again!!

Lori, nice to meet you! I'm new here so it's great to meet new people. I know you will enjoy being here again. I sure do! I'm addicted. Good job on the weight loss. I am just starting so we will se how it goes!

Ladies, ladies, ladies! Stop posting so much!!!! :lol:

Lori, Welcome back! I remember you....it hasn't been all that long.

I will answer the last 4 QOTD's: My heritage is Polish, Italian, Geriman.
My favorite junk food is chocolate. My favorite healthy food is WW Chicken Enchiladas Suiza. Flowers...I'll go with roses and the Star Gazer lillies...I had them in my boquet also Di. Also have some in my perennial garden.
Movies... Gone With The Wind... Somewhere in Time... Dirty Dancing... I'm such a romantic!

Spryng...my heart sank about your pics...so glad to read you had printed them first!

Leigh...where are you?? I heard about the crazy girl who killed her Grandparents in or around Atlanta...what a wacko she sounds like!

Mel...great pics! Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't know what to do with an uninterrupted night of sleep! Tony wakes up for his nuk, which he doesn't bother looking for himself, several times a night. Once we're back from vacation I'll work on breaking him from his nuk habit.

Penny...I let Will out of his room today :lol: then I sent Tony in! These kids are trying to give me a heart attack!! We have black ants around in the house so we put some ant poison where I thought he wouldn't find it. I almost had a big ol' heart attack when I saw the cardboard in his mouth. My Mom was here and I just screamed "MOM...he's eating the ant poison" :( . So I called poison control at Children's Hospital and they assured me that the type I had wasn't going to kill him and probably wouldn't even bother him. WHAT'S NEXT??? Don't worry ladies, I haven't hauled out the R&C's yet today :lol: . He's fine.

Jill... I would say make Dh throw all that junk food out...or at least send it to me and I'll eat it for you :lol: . That isn't very nice of him though.

Crystal...take some pics of Mom's kitchen when it's done. Sounds like a lot of fun. I wanted to do a lot of painting around here but have only done that one small bathroom quite a long time ago now! Still haven't touched my laundry room or living room or spare bedroom and now I'd like to paint our bedroom too. When we moved in most everything got a coat of off white and it's sooooooo boring! I want some color.

Cheri... yes, we missed you! Glad you were having fun with Dh. I'm going to try to make chat tonight...somewhere betw 9 and 10 central at msn... well I'll be there anyway.

Hi to everyone else out there.

Menu for today:
Breakfast was a bowl of Kashi Good Friends cereal with 1% milk and 1/2 banana.
Lunch was some ham and light cheese on a ww eng muffin with some wheat thins. snacked on 2 choc chip cookies :( .
Dinner will be a boca burger, a salad, broccoli and maybe carrots.

Spryng...bagels. Natural Ovens are 3 pts each. They're very high in fiber so they're very filling. Since you only eat a little breakfast bar you could probably do with 1/2 of the bagel with some light cream cheese for about 2 pts. They make several varieties. Hope you can find them in your store.

Well, I'd better get this posted before someone's little fingers get to the keyboard.

Oh Penny, I have the big sizzex die cutter. I've never tried the paddle ones or any other brand. I haven't used it all that much so I'm not sure what my opinion is yet. I like the fact that you can run your stock through a sticker machine and then punch out dies and just stick them down. Very simple. Don't have much time to work on my stuff though.

OK, gotta run! TTYL

Thank You Jill & Geri!!!

Hey chickies, I'm off to work in 15 minutes, my mom just came and brought me a lowfat 6 inch sub from Subway with lots of veggies and no mayo so I am feeling pretty good about lunch then she took the baby for me. I did share about 1/4 of a piece of pie with my daughter but thats better than eating the whole thing by myself with ice cream! For dinner we are going to BBQ pork chops. We will also have steamed asparagus and baked potatos. Does that sound ok? As long as I don't eat too much butter and sour cream? Doing pretty good today, I am going to take a big bottle of water and a low fat yogurt to work with me and try to get the kids to play some kind of running game so I can get some exercise in. Hope everyones day is going good! I really want to chat with you all tonight so someone post where everyone is going to be so that I can join in too. If you chat at 10 central that would be great, any earlier and I might be eating dinner (I don't get off till 6) I'll join in later though :) TTYL

Starting a new thread. See at 235!!!
