hi splashes......glad to hear you've bought a load of 'good' food....that's a good start to loosing that extra 15lbs!!! walk those doggies will give you good exersice too!!

My eating has been okay today..I figured that if i can't be active i will have to make sure i eat really well....i really want to loose this extra couple of pounds before i start school again.

It's been really sunny here today, so plenty of sitting in the garden and reading! Hope it's nice again tomorrow!

Gees, Tulip...I guess it's just you an' me!lol I hope you are feeling better. Sitting in the garden sounds sooo wonderful. I took my dogs on a HUGE walk the other evening. Went through the orchards and vinyards of my friend's farm. We encountered the hugest deer I've ever seen. I guess country living is good for them too! Our peach crop is pathetic this year, but our pears and plums are just amazing. Pears and Apples are going to be abundant this year. I can't wait!!

The weather here is horrid. Hot and humid and up near a hundred degrees. I hope you weather stays nice. My friend is going home to England on Friday for a month so I hope the weather is nice for him and his wife. They haven't been back in 10 years and I'd hate to have it rain the whole time they are there.

Enjoy your sunning in the garden...hay I guess we can start doing SHELLLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy again! and LEAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN...and KTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt...and CHERRYYYYYYYYYYY and FLOWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and MICHELLLEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!LMAO

LMAO @ Splashes!!!

There probably all outside enjoying the sunshine!!

Keep up that walking HS it's good exercise..and the doggies love it. My dog is only having short walks to the park and back since i hurt my foot as i can't go and my DD's arnt allowed to go to far with out me!...poor thing has to wait until the weekend when dad is around to take him a bit further!!!

Weather here is very unpredictable at the moment, i wouldn't say we ar having a fantastic summer, but there hasnt' been too much rain.

Me and my scales arn't talking, i've been eating really well and the darn things won't budge!!! grrrrr

Oh well another day to enjoy...must go and make a start on it!!

See you tomorrow!

Another day here too, Tulip...and just you and me!!! Tis ok..we'll keep this thread alive until someone comes back!!lol Weather is still brutally hot and humid. I've really had to watch my asthma. The lake looks so inviting other than it's polluted!lol

I might sneak out to lake Erie this weekend and go for a swim....take the pups with me...nice secluded cove where noone can see me in a pair of shorts !Lol Take care everyone and stay cool and healthy!!!!

good morning HS!

Well I limped to my scales this morning and i'm only a 1lb up!! so not too bad, it gave me a good vibe to go get some healthy breakfast. youngest DD is going out with a friend for the day. Oldest DD worked last night so will sleep all morning (!) so me and Middle DD are going healthy food shopping, so that me and their dad can be at our goal weight before the start of the new term! (she doesnt' know that tho - she just thinks we're going to buy more coco pops coz oldest DD ate the last lot for supper last night!!!

Well i'll stop my babbling now and go and start my mission.....hope the weather is a bit kinder on your asthma Splashes?! And don't worry about people seeing oyu in your shorts...go have some fun on lake Erie, it will do you the world of good!

Hey Ladies


I am HERE...sorry, been VERY VERY VERY busy....Both me and hubby are "training" plus, kids, baby teething and irritable, not a lot of sleep,ah, ah, ah....feels like there is SO much going on....which is wonderful....keeping busy makes me enjoy this heat wave a lot more...
HS, my dad keeps calling every few days to give me a weather update from Niagara...hahaha, he has no a/c at his house...when will he learn?? But he has spent a LOT of time on the boat this summer....
My sclae is still in the good books today....the past few days I was VERY bloated and now I know why....darn, TOM....but since having my daughter it has been VERY irregular and painful....TMI, sorry!

Hope EVERYONE is having a great, less-crampy day today....OMG< it is FRIDAY......yay, enjoy!

Hey guys! Just checking in.. You know what I just realized? I don't even have a scale anymore! LOL We just got our household goods that were shipped from Tennessee. I threw the scale away before we moved because it didn't work anymore. So I guess that's a good thing. I haven't weighed myself in 4 months! lol I don't know if I've gained weight or lost weight. My clothes still fit me though lol.

Anyway, Hey Tulip (or anyone)? I got a question for ya... Can you tell me some plants that only like the sun? I have a garden that is pretty much in the sun all day and some of the plants I have, have died on me. :( (Marigolds, Mums, Salvas)

Hmmmmmmmmmm I'm trying to think of plants that like alot of sun...hostas...they are pretty, and they come in different colors of leaves and flowers...and "snow on the mountain...beautiful, variegated, and flourishes fine in sun and shade

That's my two pennies worth!lol I'm not much of a gardener!lol

Eating like crap again...sorry to admit it....feel like crap...i detest my self these days!

Have a great weekend ladies!!

Shelley....SUNFLOWERS??? I'm less of a gardenener than HS...I'm doing veggies this year but not too hot on the flower names and anyway coming from England we don't get too much call for flowers that need hot sun all day long...they wouldn't last 5 mins over here!! LOL good news about not having any scales...don't go buying new ones now!!

Hugz for Leanne - I remember how busy i was when my family were tinies like yours...it's such hard work and then you go and train as well...I take my hat off to you girl!! it does get easier, my eldest is out at work this morning, middle one is still in bed,youngest has made her own breakfast and is sitting in the lounge playing wiht her lego

Splashes...Well done for admiting that your not eating well but dont' detest yourself....we think your lovely!!!!!! You give us sooo much support,now it's our turn...how can we help you to stay on track wiht your eating???

Well, Tulip....I believe you have just come up with a very wonderful idea! I'll post my daily eating plan starting monday! That way I'm keeping a food journal and posting daily in here!

I'm finally starting my packing to move to my new place. I can't wait to set up the big marble fireplace! I'm having a garage sale next Sunday to get rid of the stuff I keep dragging around with me because I am a packrat. I wonder if i'll lose the pounds at the garage sale too! I'll post a big sign..."50lbs for Free!!" LOL

Take care ladies and hope to hear from everyone soon!! Tulip can't keep doing this alone!!!

Good idea HS...about the eating plan and the garage sale....you never know you may get a really skinny women who is desperate to put weight on come a long and take it all off your hands!!!! LOL

In all seriousness though, clearing out the stuff your dragging around is usually good for you...new broom clean sweep and all that. New house no junk, just you and your puppies and a new way of eating...don't forget to put all that junk food into the sale also!!!
Way to go HS!! what's your moving date?

I will do it too...I want to loose the last 8lbs if i can before i go back to school, my trousers are just a bit on the snug side. So i support you and stick to a good eating plan it should just fall off!!!! huh well i live in hope...we'll support each other.

Morning!

I ate really well yesterday, drank 64oz of water but no exersice due to injuries.
And i haven't jumped on the scales yet!!! :yikes:
I had i rasher of bacon , 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast
Chicken and mayo Salad for Lunch
Spinach chicken & red pepper salad for Tea
Small glass of white wine :o (well it's much better than i have been doing!)
So other than that, i'm quite pleased with myself!!! ;)

I bought the girls a big paddling pool yesterday so stayed in the garden sunbathing! Don't know what i'm gunna do with the today tho-

Hope someone comes in to visit us today HS! :halfempty

I think it's just me an' you Tulip!! Moving date is the 15th!!! I can't wait to see that lovely marble fireplace!!

What's a rasher??

I ate today:

3 slices chicken bacon one scrambled egg
Toasted western for lunch
supper was 3 cheese tortellini with a marinara sauce...
ANd i drank about 100 oz of water... and tea...

I have a mug at work that is actually a giant thermos...it is 64 ounces and I usually drink one and half to two of those at work in a shift..then there's the green tea I drink at breakfast along with my morning glass of water...then the 3 or 4 glasses throughout the evening at home...i drink alot when i come in from walking the dogs it's so hot here...

So eating is going well so far!! See you soon Tulip!!

morning HS - a rasher is what we call a slice of bacon! :dizzy: words we take for granted seems strange to other people!!!

My turn now...

...what's....A toasted western??? obs food seen as you had it for lunch :lol: ...but what??

Your water intake is fantastic...I really struggle to get my 64oz in. Like yesterday it was hot but i just wasn't thirsty. I probably hit just over half of what i should have.

Food was a bit better tho

I slice of bacon 2 scrambled eggs for breakfast
Spinach and chicken and red pepper salad for lunch (leftovers from the night before!)
and dinner was roasted lamb, with loads of brocolli and carrots and just ONE Potato!!!!

I did have an ice cream with the kids while at the lido :o :(

I'm going to the hairdressers today. So i will feel all pampered when i get back!! :smug:

Here's to a good day HS!

So how did you do yesterday HS??

My water intake wasn't as good as it could have been so i'm going to try harder today with that one. Eating was good though, 3 good meals
scrambled egg n bacon for breakfast
Cold meat salad for lunch
Lamb and Veggies for dinner Glass of red wine with dinner tho :o

I walked for about 30 mins in total wiht not too much pain so i was quite pleased with myself..I will try to do it again today!

Hope everyone else is ok...I feel a bit silly talking to myself :lol: :lol: :?:
