Just a quick howdy-do. Then I'm off to ride the bike. Had a great day so far. Ate Wendy's for lunch (Mandarin Chicken Salad) but only ate a Lean Cuisine for din-din. Exercised this morning. I CANNOT wait until I get my new exercise DVD's. Looks like probably Tuesday according to "track your shipment." :lol:

Took my daughter Carly to "Madagascar" tonight. It was VERY cute. We both loved it!

Mom- Just wanted to say :bravo: on the loss! You are doing great! :)

Hey angel-eyes? Wanna come clean my house next? All that work burns calories. Maybe something I could do tomorrow, as it's supposed to rain AGAIN! :mad:

I'm hoping to post a bit more tomorrow. Have a great night everyone! :wave:

Oh yeah, figured out my "computer animation" problem. It was a setting within my firewall. DUH! :rolleyes:

This site is so busy. I love coming here and reading what's going on with everyone. Just wanted to say hi :wave: to everyone.

Hotcup - Loving the "lumps". I was laughing so hard I thought I might wet myself. :rofl:

Sunshine - You are rockin' girl!!!:encore:. You better slow down or we are going to have to put you out :flame:

Curlylocks - Watch you will all the sudden catch up with us and lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks or something outrageous ;).

Jennie - I have not been to Quiznos in years but if I go I am going to want something I should'nt have so I better stay away :s:.

Moon - I don't understand why your curves would have had something like that out. I would have left to. I love my curves and can guarantee that if you found one that did'nt have goodies laying around you would love it to. Curves is one of the things that keeps me going. I would rather go there then do any of the other exercising that I do. I go three times a week and it's only for 30 minutes. This Monday will be my 7th week and let me tell you I have muscles :strong:. I have never been sore and I actually look forward to going. Maybe you should give it another try :).

Angel - I hate ants. They creep me out. I'm glad you got rid of them 'cause they are not good house guests :^:.

Lisa - O.K. I used to eat everything in sight but I don't think I would have eaten your post. Good luck on your weigh in tomorrow :goodscale.

Petra - I know what you mean about the diet being expensive. I remember when I did atkins it was alot of money. But if the low carb works for you it is worth it :chef:.

Annie - I love the name Carly. Would have named my last one that but dh and I always had a really hard time with names and I think this time he gave in on the first one he was o.k. with so she's Cassidy :D. Oh and we also had the older 2 who thought they should have a say in her name as well :dizzy:.

Well I hope you all have a great night and I will talk to you tomorrow.

Missed the early meeting this morning. Umm..sometimes 7am on Saturday is sooooooooooo early. LOL So I am waiting until 8:30 to go to the next one!
It has rained all night here. We have gotten more rain in the last few days than we've had in the last 7 years that I have lived here. Dh is excited because ChemLawn came yesterday and did their treatment before the rain started. LOL Men!

We watched Phatom of the Opera last night. It was adult movie night. NO Issy...she was supposed to call us before bedtime but didn't. :mad: I miss her when she is gone. I even had popcorn. It was good. LOL I had too many points left yesterday and didn't get enough veggies in but after thinking about it I probably did get my 5 because I had fruit for breakfast and stir fry for dinner and a WW frozen dinner for lunch. I even drank a glass of milk to get my dairy in.

So I am leaving in a few minutes to go weigh in and then we have to go to Kidfest but we are having it in the rain location..WAHHOOO less people will be there so Mallissa and Alexi will have a blast. So I will check in later this afternoon.

Happy Saturday Pic chicks!!!
How is everyone today? I am sooo happy....my ants have gone!!! Never had them before and it will be too soon before I have them again. Couldn't resist saying to the bug man when he left...."hope I never see you again" :wave: LOL...but he is coming back in a month's time. We booked the 3 month treatment. Hate those pesty little varmints!!!

Lots going on here....Tuesday we had our patio/kitchen door replaced, bug man yesterday and now today, we have the concrete guys here to tear up our 10x10 concrete patio pad and pour me a new LARGER one. YIPPIE!!! Dh is away so I hope there are no problems.....I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!!! :tantrum: I hate when men think you don't have a mind or a say in something and only want to deal with "the man of the family". And last but not least......next Tuesday, Case Handyman is coming to install a ceiling light/fan in our master bedroom. The light switch is wired, but nothing on the ceiling. Almost every other room in the freaking house has a fan, but the master. I can't sleep without a cool room and even though the A/C is on, my hormones are getting the best of me. They call it the change.....ALLRIGHT....ENOUGH....I'm getting me a fan!!!! LOL...hmmm, a little venting ladies is all !!! haha. :lol: :D

Monday is weigh in for me. Gotta be a good l'ill angel now. :angel: All you pic chicks are losing beaucoup beaucoup weight!!! Have a super weekend!!! and stay On Plan !!!!

Happy Saturday indeed
 

I dressed for the gym after my shift last night and did a mile, then two miles. It was at 53.00 minutes. I thought "what the h***?" and I made myself finish out an HOUR. I've NEVER done the treadmill THAT long (that one at work OR my non-electric one at home) before, it came out to 2.22 miles and I was drenched. Good job, Turtle. I wasn't going to eat anything when I got home, but I picked at some leftover flounder Pooh Bear made on the grill and a chicken tender he also made on the grill. I started to eat a Slimfast snack, but decided it was only out of boredom, put it down and went to bed. Yay!

Here's hoping (raising a bottle of water) you all have a wonderful, light week end. I know my weigh in on Monday won't be pretty, but I'm back and that's all that matters right now. :smug:

Good Morning PICs ~ hope you are all enjoying a wonderful start to your weekend.

Things are pretty quiet here. Will probably get some homework done today.. and not sure what else is on the radar, although grocery shopping is in order as the fridge is looking a little on the bare side.

Jumped on the scale for a sneak peak this morning and of course the number is higher than I want it to be.. never seems to show a loss for me during the week, but then on Monday's WI I am down.. so :crossed: that this trend continues.

SUNSHINE ~ you are on fire girl. Keep up the great work :cp:

CURLYLOCKS ~ your time will come.. just stick with it. You have done so well already, that you should be so proud of yourself.

JENNIE ~ I'm with you, I can eat breakfast and think about what I am having for lunch. Although I must say that since starting WW that is happening less frequently.

MOONRAY ~ I have a WW scale.. you have to remember that at different times in the day you will weigh differently.. the scale is the :devil: so try to only step on it once a day, and a fairly regular time, otherwise you will start to drive yourself :crazy: Glad that you were able to make a decision about school.. welcome to the joys of studying !!

ANGEL EYES ~ Sounds like you have been on a cleaning frenzy. Glad that you were able to get rid of your pesky little house guest !! :goodluck: with your WI on monday.

LISA ~ Yes, I am studying to become an Accountant..and nothing worse than not being able to balance your statements when you have the clock ticking away and 8 other questions to answer (ahhh the pressure !!!). Sounds like you got some good finds at the garage sale. I always think I should go around to the sales to see if I can find anything worthwhile..maybe when school is done.

HOTCUPOJAVA ~ is back with a venegance... go get em ... Turtle Power !!! Great job on the dreadmill. You will be kicking those new found lbs to the curb in no time. :bravo:

PETRA ~ yes, isn't grocery shopping so much fun ?!?! It seems the healthier you eat the more it costs :?: School is just about done for the summer. This was my mid-term exam, so 4 more weeks to go and then I am off until September. Although from what I understand work is suppose to be pretty busy during July/August.. so no rest for the wicked as they say.

ANNIE ~ glad to hear the Madagascar was good. I love all the animated movies by Pixar. Sounds like you are still going strong and keeping up with your exercise.. go get 'em girl !!!

MOMx3 ~ yahoo.. great job on the loss :cp:

Well I think that I got everyone.. yikes so hard to keep up these days. LOOKING2LOSE and DEE, I hope all is well with you !!

Have a great day.. stay strong.. eat your veggies.. drink your water.. and keep on keeping on !!!

Good morning girls! :wave:

So far today, I've done the 2-mile WATP! Yippee! Seemed much easier today that last week. I must be building at least a little bit of endurance. I also went tanning :beach: then cleaned out the car. Have 2 loads of laundry done and I'm still raring to go. Hubby and I are going to Rochester today to exchange car. We lease through his work and we get a new one every 3-6 months. It is raining and dreary here AGAIN today, so I figure good day for a car ride (it's about an hour from the Twin Cities.)

Anywho, glad to hear everyone is doing good. My WI is tomorrow. There had better be a loss! :goodscale

Momx- Again, yahoo on the loss! You are doing fabulously! I also love the name Cassidy. Actually, Carly was ALMOST a Cassandra, but, of course, hubby wanted Carly.

Lisa- I love popcorn. I will air pop then spray just a little bit of "non-fat butter" (I use the "Parkay" or "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" butter sprays. Saves TONS on calories, and it tastes okay. Then I sprinkle a bit of "cheese" on it. You can buy this in the spice section. It's very good!

angel-eyes- Speaking of ants, I was in the laundry room this morning, and there were dozens in there. Only placed I've seen them. :yikes: Looks as though we'll need to call the bug-man, too. :( Sounds like you are busy with house work. It's so exciting, and a great reward in the long run. And also, I can hear you roaring from here. :laugh:

Hotcup- Way to go on the treadmill. I'd love to get one for home use, but they are so danged expensive. :(

ClipClop- :goodluck: on your WI on Monday. We are all rooting for you. And don't you just love a good movie?! Keep up the great work. :D

Well, I'm off to shower. Have a super Saturday, everyone! :cb: (I love this little dancing banana fellow!) Now that I can see the animation in the emoticons! HAHA

Oh, I also changed my starting weight to 212, as the first week I never weighed myself, and I did very well. I just want to be as precise as possible.

Chick PIC Check in from work
 

Yep, slaving away at the old salt mine. Dayshift has all the doors and lobby window closed, lights off and air off. It's a stiffling, smothering, bedroom basically when I come in. So I fling open the doors, the glass to the lobby, put the lights on bright and crank up the AC (or down, depending on how you look at it). I clean all the counters and today actually cleaned the OUTSIDE of the garbage can before changing the liner. People probably think I'm a neat freak or something, but this place gets so gross/dirty. Now it's all MY office, it's breezy and bright and I've already done the crossword, checked my email, commented in the day's journals so far and checked in with the PIC chicks. Hmmm, nothing left to do but grab a portable radio and start walking my "Caged Turtle Circles". Go Java! Go Turtle!

Everyone is doing so well here. I'm so proud of all of you. Have a great/sunny/fun and light week end. :cool:

I'll be here until eleven-thirty tonight and then I'm hitting that treadmill again (office/gym). I think I'll take a sticky note and cover the mileage and just shoot for another hour, maybe I can beat 2.22! Wish me luck. Posting later.

Hi ladies, just a quick check in trying to get some motivation. I have so much work to get done I have kind of shut my self off. Some times when I am overwhelmed, I just opt to do nothing. this is a very bad defense mechanism that I need to get out of.
I feel so blahhhh.....I don't know what is wrong with me today. I woke up in a bad mood and havn't been able to revive my self at all today. I am going to go and do one of my work out tapes. I missed the gym because my son had a t-ball game before I had to go to work and it closes early on saturday. I guess a tape will be Ok. mabye it will cheer me up.
My WI in tomorrow and I feel so fat. two days ago I was doing great, and i havn't eaten anything bad and i've been active but for some reason, today I have that fat feeling. yuck!
ahh, I wish I could just snap out of it.
I hope every one else is enjoying their weekend.

Hey guys!

Has anyone tried those 1 a day "weigh smart" vitamins?? with the green tea? I bought some today and tried one but .. I think they are messing with my asthma, Ive been tight and wheezy ever since i took it...

Im thinking there might be something in there that doesnt agree with me...

Has anyone else tried them? I guess that was a waste of $8.00 .. Good thing i also picked up a box of regular 1 a day's ..

Anyone have a preference for vitiamins?


p.s. What is Lumps?

I tried the weight smart and wasn't impressed. At the moment I'm taking a bunch of individual ones but when I run out of those I'm going to need to look for a good multi. You might check out GNC or thevitaminshoppe

I just compared the two sites on line and it looks like thevitaminshoppe.com has the better selection and quality.

Lumps & Vitamins
 

I tried the weight smart ones and wasn't impressed either. No different than the generic version of the One A-days I take. And I set up a gym in my living room. We (my sister the Exercise **** and I) were doing circuits like "Curves" but to be silly, I called it "Lumps". :lol: Hope that cleared up any confusion.
