    Hey Hey
    I'm happy to report that I have no gain for the week! So no re-run pounds (love that phrase) for me to lose, which is what I've been tackling for so long.
    I got 3 points yesterday, and I don't think there will be any exercise today...TOM snuck up on me and OW! I think is all I need to say.

    Congrats Faye on dropping more pounds! you'll be back to where you were in no time

    Congrats to you too MScat and Carrie for losing!

    Hello everyone! Just a very quick drop bye because of that damned Hurricane Charlie he seems to be coming closer! I hadn’t even looked at the news, but I was wondering why people were buying up everything in the store! The county next to us has to evacuate tomorrow! We might be next! I’m not worried about it though.. Most of my stuff that I cherish is in Tx! Well anyways I’m not doing good on my new goals.. But I’m putting them off until tomorrow. But.. I’m happy.. Again!! So that’s the most important. I just had soo much to do today.. In the rain!! Anyways I gotta go watch the news with my hubby. Talk with you all later!

    SATURDAY: Today is Sunny Thoughts Saturday. What can you share with us?

    POINTS WRAPUP:

    Susan:

    I had 4 pts yesterday again. Just hope I can keep on the roll! We went to the casino last night after taking sil to dinner for his birthday. I dropped $100 in the slot machine and didn't return with a single dime darn it.

    My dgs was as ornery as ever. He likes to tease his ole Nonny about the fact I am rodent phobic. His newest thing is tryng to talk me into buying him a rat for Christmas and giggles to beat 60 when I tell him no. I swear in that little 4 year old body is a 30 year old man.

    I hope everyone has a great day. We are getting 3 pits in the windshield repaired this morning then have to go grocery shopping UGH!

    Happy Olympics!
    Faye - I think I posted my losses and points for Friday at the same time you posted to jump to #80! So here are my stats again! Re-run pounds down total of 4. I am down to 226 after teeter totering between 227 and 229. At least I haven't crossed the 230 mark again in over 3 weeks! My goal for the next week is to reach my all time low of 223 again. Then there will be no stopping me!

    My Sunny Thought for today: Although my best friend is moving to Atlanta and my husband is going overseas for 6 six weeks, I am rejoicing in their accomplishments and opportunities for adventure and full living experiences.

    Faye - We are so grateful you were not hurt

    Jaymi -in case you missed my post on Friday - it is worth repeating: Beautiful pics and I agree with Cat - stop being so hard on yourself - I wish I could show my midsection! You are beautiful!

    wow, quiet today
    I've been way way off plan but only for the last 24 hours and I should be back on tomorrow. For some reason I've found that I'm more awake and have more energy with the excess of food. I therefore think there is something seriously missing in my diet but I don't know what. I usually eat cereal, yogurt, fruit, and vegitables and grilled meat or pasta so what's missing? hmpf!

    Jaymi - hope you make it through the storm ok!!! I have an aunt and uncle and some cousins in Tampa, be Glad you aren't there!!!

    MsCat: lbs down Good Job!

    It is always quiet here on the weekends anymore. I think people are just so busy trying to do everything that needs to be done before they have to go back to work or school or a combo of both.

    Amanda: We miss you and hope all is ok with you!

    Man, I learned not to wear loafers to shop in. I have had leg and backaches all day and even my ankles hurt. I have to be careful as I am really really flat footed and certain shoes give me no support and these I guess were a pair of those. Oh well, I got everything done today anyway and am rolling right along with everything.

    I am going to go and check out lousy tv and turn in early. We didn't get into bed until almost 1 am because of going to the casino and I got up at 3 am and then at 5 so I am sleepy. Have a great evening girls.

    JULIE AND CARRI: Hope you are having loads and loads of fun!!!!

    Faye

    WITH SO MANY ON VACATION, THE STORM AND SUCH NO SILLY POLL THIS SUNDAY.

    Hope all of you are well. I know you "school" folks are about ready to go back or are indeed heading back to college. Have a good year this year, ladies.

    I will peek in later.

    Today is day-0 again…. Tomorrow will be day 1 ! Which is fine with me…. I just feel icky from eating all the wrong stuff yesterday. And today… after spending the morning sick in the bathroom.. But as I am feeling this headache come on… I’m happy! I have been MIA because Hurricane Charley came through Myrtle Beach yesterday.. But we were far away from it! We rode down to Savannah Georgia. I had a blast! Just riding round, looking at houses. We stopped at two outlets while we were there also. He found some 5 dollar jeans, and I found two Murder She wrote books… Doesn’t sound too amusing.. But It was for me! I love riding around and seeing new things.. That’s one thing me and DH have in common. The kids loved the ride too of course. We packed sandwiches with us, and of course I had fat free bologna and cheese, but we only had white bread…. So for some unknown reason… that made me feel pretty icky too. I guess I’ve gotten used to wheat. But you cant always find good wheat bread at a convenience store. So anyways today is supposed to be a relax day… but I got loads and loads of clothes to wash… (they just seem to come out of no where!) My daughter was up at the crack of dawn… and still is.. So I’m sure I won’t get any exercise done. Plus I have to wash dishes, cook, then wash dishes again…. So…. No relaxing for me… I don’t really feel like putting it off until tomorrow.. Because I’ll still have to do it. Maybe I’ll only do half today or something.. Anyways I weighed myself before we left yesterday.. I’m up one lb… but glad.. Because the other day it said 144, it only said 142... Which of course mean I have to re lose those “RE-RUN” lbs… but I can do it. Hopefully next week I can start back going downwards… Well the kids are throwing balls in the living room, and the dog is barking my nerves away… plus it is pouring down raining outside… so I guess I’ll get off of here and do something. I will try to come back later and get personal comments done…. I hope everyone’s day yesterday has been ok… And today will be even better!

    BTW~ Ms Cat.... Thanks!! That's sooo sweet!!!!

    Hello
    I'm getting in a little walking this morning, I didn't see the point of driving a distance I used to walk ALL the time before I had a car without even a thought. It will help make up for all the food this weekend.

    I would appriciate it if you would keep my grnadmother in your thoughts and prayers. She has just been moved to an assisted living home because she's been so weak and falling and having to go to the hospital. She's 87 and has had a few problems before, but obviously not like this.

    Good Morning All -
    Well I had a good time at the fair, a little too good of a time...let me tell you how it went down...
    steak on a stick
    corn dog
    corn on the cob
    curly fries with cheese
    fried oreos ( yes I said fried oreos, pretty good actually )
    shrimp cocktail
    Rootbeer float
    and finally....drum roll...Funnel cake....

    Yes girls, I was bad bad bad ... and also ( sadly for me ) it ended up being a throw away weekend, so I was pretty much off program Fri, Sat, and Sun, which sucks because I know I will be up a pound or two and trying to get that off this week...but I made the choice and now I just get up and go on,
    Today is totally BACK ON...

    But anyhow I did have a great time at the fair with my dh and db...so it was all good

    Susan - Will keep your Grandma in my prayers...

    Faye - We went to Ceasars here in IN in May, and we put alot of money in the slots and didnt return home with any...it was fun playing but not so fun losing all that money...but we cannot wait to go back in the Fall...better start saving for my losing money, ha ha ... I also had some feet troubles or ankle I guess, I did something to it at the fair and now it hurts to put alot of weight on it... probably too much food weight in the belly, ha

    Julie - Hope you are having fun !!!

    Amanda - Where are ya hon??

    MsCat - Great job on your loss, keep it up !!!

    Have a great Monday all, talk later

    MONDAY: Today is Mission Monday and our mission this week is to improve a regular exercise regimen. Exercise is highly important to good health and you need to have something that you love or at least like to do and to vary your exercise so you don't get bored and give up. Make exercise a real part of your life starting this week. You will be glad you did.

    late girls

    Hello everyone! My morning is off to a late start... but I'm doing ok! I haven’t gained but one more pound.... but I can tell the affect that eating wrong and not exercising is doing to my body. My skin is way more saggy,, and my stomach is just poking out. So although I haven’t exercised yet today, I plan on doing it when my daughter takes a nap. I did go to the hot tub yesterday for like 30 minutes.... all the pools were closed because of the hurricane... and there was stuff everywhere. But one family I guess convinced them to open it anyways so I went over there. I wish I had more time.. but I knew that I had to go back because I was cooking... If it wouldn’t have taken me forever to find a open pool I could have had more time. I didn't even think about that... because when we got back it was dark. But they really had a lot of damage done to this place!! I'm going to try and journal my food today and see where I'm at... I know I’m going to go over because of this dreaded breakfast I just ate... but like A "special person" told me earlier....I have all day to work it off!!!! I have to go pay some bills today... hopefully can get it over with... fast!! The baby needs some milk too. Anyways I better get my butt in gear... I'm already waking up too late! I will definately come back later and update and make comments... Talk with yaw'l later!
