Ok enough posting for a SUNDAY!!! I am gonna jump in the tub for a second and get things settled down around here then I will be back!
Thanks to everyone on the advice
And I can't believe I missed the flylady challenge......ggggrrrrrrrrr
I just got home!!!
We went to Picadilly's for breakfast and then we went bowling with the kiddos! Oh my gosh did they have fun! Even Andrew but my digital batteries went dead So only like two pics and it wasn't even of them rolling the ball Anyhow, I will come back later to chat!
When is the next flylady challenge and do ya'll wanna do an exercise challenge tomorrow?? I know I sure could use it and so could Spryng ......lol
Good evening ladies!!!
Hope I can get this typed before anyone else posts, even though the last one was almost 2 hours ago.
Leigh: TY.....I'm finally writing down everyone's sign in name and real name so I can learn them and keep everyone straight. Yes it is pronounced dee-nuh.
Ricci: where is that website where your pics are?
I haven't seen Sea Biscuit, do like Bruce Willis, but dh and I watch mostly westerns (when we get the tv away from kids) and I'm very infatuated with Tom Selleck. Another one is Patrick Swayze. oo-la-la.
I had a good OP day i guess. Not really following any plan just watching portions and cals and carbs. BTW, if I want to lose how many carbs should I limit to each day......I have never counted them in my life. I used the calorie calculator on 3FC and it told me I still need around 2200 cals per day......I didn't consume that much anyway. I'm not into the sweets, even at tom I don't get many cravings......I'm an oddball.....lol.
Never got those socks and undies sorted. Had to take oldest and dd to sil. She's gonna have them til Tues night. Her dd wanted mine to come spend the night.....she's not used to being away from home, hope she does good....of course her bubby is there with her, so she will be fine. It's too quiet around here now. I only have 1 kid now, and just got a call to go get the other from his dad's, 3 miles away.
Leigh, I absolutely love overalls for boys and girls. However, with Andrew he is so big overalls aren't good for him. But I would definitely put those to use, but I only dress them in those when we go outside the house. When we stay home, I just like pants and tops. Lounge clothes, you know. But some people dress their kids somewhat nice things just to hang around the house so I'd say it's up to you.
Do you gals ever watch America's Funniest Home Videos? I never do, but I was tonight and it is so funny. I was laughing like crazy.
Well, I may be back on later, don't know. Hope all is well.
Jill- sorry you didn't get the greatest night's sleep. LOL - you just said you don't like Bayley to feed herself, but then she went and ate the muffin! I don't mind Liam feeding himself other than my fear of him choking.
Ricci- sorry you felt left out Is there a way you could tell your mom how you feel? Hard I know. Or maybe you could say, "I'd still like to get to that sale - is there another day this week the two of us could go?"
Crystal- Bruce Willis is also a really good actor. I know he does a lot of action movies, but when he does more dramatic roles he's really good.
Spryng- I'm glad you got a nap in. DH originally had vacation this week, but because of the hurricane, we're not sire when he's coming home or when we'll take the vacation.
Penny- was Picadilly's good? I've never eaten breakfast there, but we have one right near us.
Deana- OMG! I wish I didn't get cravings LOL. I'm the craving queen . . . Bravo on making healthy choices.
Crystal- funny you mention Funniest Home Videos- I didn't know it was still on, but noticed it was on tonight and almost watched it, but then ended up watching reruns of The Simpsons.
Just wanted to pop in and say Hello. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I went way overboard at supper tonight. We made bacon cheeseburgers with grilled onions and I had two of them , I don't even want to think of how much fat is in them. Oh well start new tomorrow.
Ricci, sorry about the mom thing. I get frusterated with mine too, if that helps at all.
Leigh, I bought my baby boy like nice warm two piece sweat suits. Easy to change diapers in and he just wore a t-shirt or onzie underneath.
Wish I could get more personal but my computer is acting up here, hi everyone. Julie
okay does anyone need to mop? I really, really, really need to and have been putting it off and I just thought you could all stay on me tomorrow until I get it done, maybe even make a special challenge just for me, LOL!!!
I'll tell you, those funniest home videos were so funny my stomach was hurting from laughing and I was crying I was laughing so hard.
Okay, I don't think I have to go to town until at least Wednesday, so I'm staying home tomorrow and doing a couple loads of laundry, MOPPING, doing school, take care of some Avon, nap, breakfast, lunch, dinner, cleaning kitchen and that should do it. I've got more to do, but I think that will last me all day. Or at least I can make it last, LOL!!!
Okay, ttyl
OK ladies...once again it took 30 min to read all the posts I am not a slow reader either!
QOTD...I HATE to take the boys shopping. I like to look at everything and of course, they don't! Tony's at the age where he wants to grab everything and Will, well he just likes to act up when we're shopping. Cleaning up would have to be my 2nd choice .
Leigh...I too dress my boys in the 2 piece sweat outfits. They're nice and warm and very easy for changing. I save the nicer stuff for when we're having company or we're going out. We all wear sweats in our household...I'm cheap and keep it at 68 in the winter. You can always put more clothes on .
Thanks Crystal...now I'm going to go upstairs and mop my kitchen floor. IT's pretty bad and everyone including dh is asleep already so I had better take advantage!
Jill, Ricci, Angel (briefly ) it was nice chatting with you ladies last night. Spryng...did you FEEL us talking about you??? It wasn't anything too bad.
Hi to everyone else! I went on a 21.3 mile bike ride today so I'm pretty wiped out myself right now. I'll have to take some Aleve when I go to bed tonight so that I can move tomorrow . It was such a nice day. Just hung around the house the rest of the day. We grilled pork tenderloin and had green beans and salad. The boys had pasta salad. Tomorrow is WI...I'm hoping to stay the same . My eating/drinking choices will get better someday...when the weather gets cold I think.
Spryng...want me to call you tomorrow morning while I'm getting ready to do my 3 mile walk??? Huh??? ah...you'll be doing your flylady stuff then . Seriously, I think adding it to your journal will help. It'll become part of your daily routine. When I was doing my food journal (note to self.... maybe starting the food journal again would get me to make better choices??? ) I also journaled my exercise. At least I've been keeping up with that part.
cHERI.. hope the boys didn't break anything...in the house or on their bodies . Aren't boys a hoot???
Have a wonderful night everyone! I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Well my evening has been uneventful. Ate dinner (it was ok, not something I'll make again, the kids didn't like it) then sat down in front of the boob tube.. watched some tradng spaces, some food channel stuff, and I saw part of AFV too! I always liked that show and just forget when it comes on. Then Six Feet Under. I can't believe there is only 3 more episodes left! It seems it just started.
But anyway, got the kids in bed and my evening routine done! Did I exercise?? nope. I don't know what is going to motivate me to do that. But I want to get the results exercise will give me I just don't want to do the work. Does that make sense?? I'm lazy!!
Geri, LOL.. I did not feel you talking about me last night, but I hope it was good!! LOL! I feel so special now, lol 21 mile bike ride????? WOW! That is great! Now I feel really lazy about my exercise habits.
Crystal, I don't need to mop but a good sweeping is in order for tomorrow. I'll try to remind you though!
Julie, bacon cheeseburgers sound so good right now!! I am craving something bad tonight, but I'm fighting it... must fight... must not give in... lol... I was hoping posting woud distract me, lol.
Leigh, how are you tonight? I love over alls for toddlers. I usually buy a few pairs of warm jeans or pants and some thick sweaters and shirts for the kids for winter. Nothing specific just warm stuff.
Deana, not sure about how many carbs you should have each day, I know with atkins you limit it to 20 carbs a day, but south beach you just cut out bad carbs... no white flour or pasta, whole wheat everything, etc. And cut out sugar and such. But definitely cutting calories will get the lbs off so you are doing fine!
Penny, you crack me up, lol. Yes I do need an exercise challenge, can't I just count the flylady challenge as exercise!!? LOL! You want to do the flylady one with me tomorrow??
Ok, I'm off to bed early tonight. I am so tired today for some reason and am developing a headache. I even got that 1 1/2 hr nap in and I feel like I havn't slept in days, lol. And I'm hungry but am out of pts, lol. Maybe its just the junk I ate yesterday working out of me or something. Who knows. Catch you all in the morning!! G'nite!
My evening was pretty uneventful as well. Picked son up from his dad's, who wasn't feeling well, made the boys get showers and to bed on time so we can practice for getting up early for school......boy how I hate bedtime. They don't want to be quiet.
Then I watched some of the Olympics. There are 2 girls on the USA gymnastics team from the Kansas City area, one just about 20 miles from me. It was great to see some local talent represented.
Think I'm going to play a couple games then go to bed and read for a bit. I have to practice getting up early too. I'm up at 6:15 so I can watch the news for a while before kids get up then they are up at 6:45.....gotta love school time
Hey everyone just got back from in laws house and did pretty good, I only ate a small bit if key lime pie and we had already eaten dinner here so I didn't get into the hot dogs and hamburgers they were serving so that was good. I wasn't in the right mind set to be over there though cause my dh has 6 brothers and sister plus 2 foster twin brothers that just turned 13 and his grandma lives there. Between all us kids their is 7 grandchildren so you can imaging my state of mind going from a house of 3 to a house of 20+!!!! I just couldn't handle it!! And as I was telling Spryng they are all overweight and don't want to do anything about it and they always seem to try and get me to eat bad when I am on a diet! I hate it! Ok enough of that. I am being really bad right now and am not going to get personal because I have my big week of school next week and need to go get some things done so i am prepared. Sorry but It will have to wait till I am done next Sunday. I will miss all of the conversations this week so you guys have fun and don't forget about me!! I'll try to post a little in the morning and then maybe at night if I don't have too much homework! Talk to you guys soon!!
