Good Morning Lovelies !! Well we made it to the weekend.. yahoo. Although I am not sure why I am so excited.. weekends generally mean homework, homework and more homework. Oh well at least I don't have to go to work as well !

Hubby and I went out for a nice dinner last night, I had dessert but totally regretted it afterwards. Why oh why do we do that to ourselves

MOONRAY ~ glad that school is going well. I know it can seem so overwhelming when you first start. What course are you taking ? or are you taking multiple courses ?

MOM ~ thanks for the anniversary balloons.. how sweet Hope you have a good weekend. How is that knee feeling ?

LISA ~ 3 lbs.. YAHOOEY !!! Now you can treat yourself to a Thanks for the congrats on the exam.. yes 2 free months from school.. although from what I understand work is suppose to be really busy at that time.. ARGG.. no rest for the

Hope all the PICs have a great weekend ! Stay strong.. eat your veggies.. drink that H2O.. and keep on keeping on !!

I give up trying to put smilies in my message. I just lost a whole message because of them.

Congrats Lisa on your loss. Keep up the great work.

Clipclop-hope you found time for some fun this weekend.

Today was no fun for me. It was payback for yesterday. Actually, my day started to get a little crazy (no pun intended) around 4 pm. Today I actually worked about 12 hours straight. I didn't even stop to eat or go to the bathroom. I have a bad habit of not taking care of myself when work gets out of control and need to find a way to stop it. However, I was a little pushier today-I had several attendings paged to clarify what it was they wanted from me so I wouldn't be called back again later. I'm an attending too so I don't know why this should bother me. Anyway, I came home tonight, took care of my boys, ate half a chicken (for real!) and made myself a mixed berry smoothie with tofu. I did get enough calories and protein in and was within my carb limit also.

Hopefully my day will not be so bad tomorrow.

It's three in the morning and I just got up! I was GOING to bed this time yesterday! I'm going to be one confused and possibly very cranky turtle later. I hope the woman I'm riding with drives well enough that #1 I don't have panic attacks and #2 I can actually catch a few ZZZZZ's All along I thought we were leaving late Sunday night, early Monday morning and I find out LATE yesterday afternoon that we're leaving today. Somehow I managed to get ready a full day early (including errands to the bank, stores, renewing library books and calling a fellow TOPS member to be sure I got an excused absence from Monday's meeting). I have NO idea how I pulled it together so smoothly. But here it is, a quarter after three in the morning and I'm enjoying enough coffee to wake me up and get me going, but hopefully not so much that we have to make any unscheduled stops on my account. Every year on the girl trip, we have a weird and crazy theme. Last year (I didn't get to go, I'd just started my new job and didn't want to ask off) was pajamas and tiaras. And you have to go into restaurants and rest stops and convenient stores dressed that way. This year I was told it was straw hats, so I bought a straw cowboy hat. But I found out yesterday that it's COWGIRL hats and pajamas. I told my sister I'd NOT be wearing my pajamas into a restaurant, but I'd wear my cowboy hat. The more I think about it, (I'm relieved that the straw hat I bought IS a cowboy hat) the more I'm wondering if my robe OVER my clothes and my fuzzy blue and white slippers instead of my shoes and socks wouldn't be so bad. I mean I want to be fun. I just have such low self esteem I don't want to give people even MORE reasons to laugh, stare and point. Oh well. I'll play it by ear.

Just wanted to tell you all I'll be gone a few days and I shall return late Wednesday. Poor Pooh (who is feeling neglected by the girl trip) wants to go camping the second I get back. So if you don't hear from me by late Wednesday early Thursday, I must be a turtle in a tent ... Smelling of wood smoke, sunburned and covered in mosquito bites. Ta ta for now all. I'm really glad I found this thread and here's hoping I come back from this trip still OP and actually lighter!

Now that sounds Yummy how do u make them?

I have a dinner date tuesday night the guy i think is "the one" We have been planning this for @ a month now, I have a cute lil black dress and sexy high heels and now.......

after no tom for like 8 months guess what i woke up with??

GRRRRR i was so hoping i would make it to the 12 months and TOM would never visit again!!!

Good Morning!!!

Sounds like some of us have quite the weekend planned!!

ClipClop......How nice for you and dh to celebrate your anniversary!! Wasn't it also his bday too? come on....how many years? we won't tease him!!

Curlylocks......So you think he's the one eh? Hope he liked your sexy little black dress and high heels. A perfect outfit for a perfect night. HOpe it all went well.

Petra........gosh, that does sound like a crazy day!! Glad to hear that you were well within your carb limit. Carbs are the first thing I usually reach for in a stressful situation. You deserve some R&R after that long shift.

Hotcupojava.......I know I missed you already, but HAVE A WILD AND CRAZY TIME!!! How fun!!! I think I missed how many girls you were going with. I would go for it....put on your robe and hat and have a great time!! heck...you'll probably never see these people again!!!

Lisa........WOOHOO GIRL!!! weigh to go on the great loss!! YIPPIE!!!

I've got weigh in tommorow, so today I'll be a good little girl!! Actually the whole weekends been an easy one. Amid 4 rain storms yesterday we finished our yard work of spreading 6 yards (half dump truck) of top soil around our new concreate patio. Dh and I had a romantic night last night cuddled around our new fire pit. That is until the neighbours teenager HAD A PARTY!!!! That dampening the mood real quick but they started close to the time we had had enough. geesh....KIDS!!! lol

Good Morning Gang ! Everyone must be having a real busy weekend. Mine has been rather quiet. Homework and grocery shopping yesterday... I know what an exciting life I lead. Today, who knows, I may go wild and do laundry

Actually I would love to go get my hair cut, but will have to see if they have any appointments available. Currently my hair is just past my shoulders and is straight, thick and parted in the middle.. can you say B.O.R.I.N.G. I am actually thinking about cutting it short again.. not real short but more around my chin/ear length.

ANGEL EYES ~ good luck with your WI tomorrow. I have mine as well tomorrow (((skinny vibes))). Hubby and I celebrated our 4th anniversary. Our anniversary falls on his birthday - no reason for him to forget ! He turned 38 this year.. so a couple more years to the big 4-0.

CURLYLOCKS ~ a date.. yeah for you !! You will knock him out in your lil black dress. Be sure to fill us in on the detail on Wednesday !!!

HOTCUP ~ 3 am .. yuck !! Hope you have a wonderful trip and we will see you when you get back. I would be all over wearing my pj's.. i pratically live in them, although have never gone to the store in them.. hmmm have fun!! If you go camping could you have a roasted marshmellow for me

To all the other Partners, hope you are having a wonderful weekend !!

Well folks I am off to tackle a bit of homework. Take care and TTYS.

Hi everyone,
busy weekend it sound like. I had my WI this moringing and I am finally down! yeah 2.6#. so I am .4 away from my 10% or the first goal they set for you at WW. I think I will get it next week. Its kind of a weird one for me because, now I am back where I was last summer so I really think I should wait and celebrate after another 10%. But that is a WW goal not a personal one so what ever if it comes it comes.

I had such a busy weekend. My son had a T-ball game and I had to work the concession stand. I never saw so many hotdogs being sold there. so busy. I make jewlery and i had a jewelry party yesterday, think tupperwear but I'm sitting there making stuff, right after I closed my store. It was pretty hectic but I made loads of money. I didn't get a chance to eat much the whole day I did take a break at my shop and had a bowl of soup but that was about it. Around 10 when everything was said and done, I was so hungery but I didn't want to eat to much, my son and I split a happy meal at McD's ( it was the only thing open on the way home). so not what I would call a good choice but I was pretty desperate.

Ok, so here is the funny thing. My whole family thought today was fathers day. We invited the neighbors over for a dinner. I was saving up my points so that at dinner I could have desert but then as I was shopping last minute for a gift, the guy in the store was like oh fathers day in next weekend. wooops. well now I can eat some lunch and not feel like I am wasting my points. We are still doing the dinnner but not the cake. most of the dinner stuff was healthy stuff so it should be good.

Ok, I'm gonnna run, I hope every one is having a fun weekend.

Hi Ladies. Well yesterday I just felt overwhelmed about the weight. I know it is going to happen but I still just feel so fat. Anyway me and dh went out to buy the baby a new bed and stopped and got Arby's on the way home .
I had a roast beef sandwich and some curly fries . I exercised and ate well the rest of the day though so I just figure sometimes it's going to happen.


Lisa - Great job on the 3 lbs . You are doing such an awesome job. Yeah Richard really does kick butt huh. It's funny because everyone makes fun of him but I want them to do his tape then laugh at him.

Clip - You deserved a treat for your anniversary. Any of us that can put up with men deserve one . I think the knee is feeling a little better.

Petra - Sorry about the rough day yesterday. I hope today has been better for you .

Curly - TOM Sucks!!! Your date sounds good though!!! I hope you have a great but not to great time .

Angel - the firepit sounds really fantastic. Got to get me one of those .

Clip - My dh hit the big 40 this year. Was kind of hard on him poor guy. I try not to let my age get to me but I will be 38 in August so the big 4 0 is sneaking up on me to. Oh well you are as young as you feel. Uh oh!!

Jennie - 2.6 lbs!!!!!! GONE, GONE, GONE forever . Great job!! I hate it when I get the days mixed up. Oh well it will give you more time to prepare .

I hope everyone has a great day.

I survived the weekend! good job on the loss Jennie.
Bon Vogage turtle, If I haven't missed you alreday.

Today was marginally better for me, but I still haven't figured out how to fit food into my on call weekend. I really have to solve this problem soon. At least tonight I got home at 6 instead of 8:30 so it wasn't quite as bad and I took an Atkins bar to work wtih me today. I went on a cooking frenzy when I got home. Had to cook all the meat I had defrosted before it went bad so now I have all kinds of stuff ready to eat this week.

Curlylocks: The recipe for the smoothie: 1/2 cup mixed frozen berries, 2 ice cubes, 1 tbsp splenda, 1 oz. silken tofu (has to be silken), and 1/2 cup heavy cream (you could probably substitute milk). It is delicious. Have fun on your date Tues. Dana Carpender (500 Low Carb Recipes) has a chicken pecan salad recipe that I like and you might want to check out sometime too. Not as many calories as the Arby's one and I think it is great! It's the one I chopped my finger on Memorial Day.

I didn't realize I was the old hag of the group. I'm 39. Will be 40 in December. Plan to get a good night's sleep tonight if Kobe cooperates.

Hi ladies.. sorry I havent caught up enough on the threads to address everyone singly. I'm doing good... I start training for my new job on Monday.. I don't have to go in till 9am.. (can we say woooo whooooo) I'm not a morning person.. and my "ex-job" ha ha. required me to be up by 6:30am .. I can't wait to work at home.. the first thing I want to do after training is die my hair back to pink and re-pierce my eyebrow. (Incase you havent figured it out.. I'm a little punky) some of my motivation for getting back on plan is that my hubby said I could get a piercing or tattoo after every 20lbs lost (we are complete opposites, he's clean cut, no tats or piercings, ex-army kind of guy. and I'm whats the hair color of the week, pierced, tattooed chick) .. I hated working in professional office.. anyways we've had a really long weekend.. still trying to get things back in order since the housewarming party.. and of course ya'll know I just had to shuffle up everything and re-organize all the furniture..

about my eating habits.. well I'm still not back on track. but I'm trying to get everything sorted out in this hectic little world of mine.. right now I'm trying to slowly work my way back in to it by making "better choices".. and then little by little I'll start substituting foods and cutting "junk" out of my diet.. well Ladies.. I hope you all had a great weekend.. I have to run and Help Adam (my hubby) assemble the new table set we bought.. I will talk to you later..

Love Always,
Dee

ClipClop- I want to get into the Business and Psychology field but I'm taking general stuff right now

DeeRod- I'm older by 2 months

MoonRay

Howdy All,
I kind of let myself slide on the weekends. I know when I get closer to goal I won't be able to do this. LOL but for now it works for me. Yesterday, I made omlets for breakfast, skipped lunch because my stepson came over and we cleanned out the garage. I can acutally park my van in there now. It was really funny because I had about 10 people stop and some even knocked on the door..thinking we were having a garage sale. Some kid thought we would sale our new lawnmower to him for $20.00. Yea...right..LOL.. I put an ad on Freecycle to give away an extra bike, trike, and a ton of videos. In the video box, I found a couple of Kathy tapes which I kept. We had a BBQ with hamburgers with stepson and family. I gave new daughter in law a big box of girls clothes that were Mallissa's. My hubby does a radio show so we get books in the mail by the dozen...so I gave a bunch of them away too. This morning Dave and I went to breakfast while Mallissa was in Sunday School. We used to go to SS but we can't stand the teacher. (such Christian love) It actually isn't him it is his teachings and the way he conducts the class.. so we go to breakfast instead. After church,we all took a long nap. LOL We did swing by McD's for lunch and I got a kids meal hamburger to stay in points. Tonight Dave cooked salmon(I hate fish) but had some good veggies with it so I am back on program.

I am old too. LOL I will be 39 in August. Dave is 55! So I act older than I am. LOL I am actually a grandma! We have 5 grandkids, Austin 10, Darren 6, Skyler 2, Stephen 4 months, and Carrie 3 months. My stepdaughter had another boy, Cameron who would be 2 in August but he died 6 days after birth. Also Mallissa used to be our grandchild but we adopted her in Sept. 2003. She is the biological daughter of my stepson.(different mother of this other girls)

Deerod: Never would of thought the pink hair..but if it works for you....go for it!!

Moonray: You will do fine in school!! Keep up the good work.

Petra: Glad work wasn't too bad this weekend. Hope you get sleep!

Momx3: I did the Sweatin to the Oldies tonight. I like Dance your pants off better..it gave me more of a workout. Mallissa, the brat, was laughing at me and anytime I made a mistake would tell me. I still love her though... SHe was laughing at Richard too.

Jennie: I thought it was Father's Day too until Dave corrected me. We are having a BBQ next weekend....we are going to have steaks. LOL Great on your loss...we are all losers!!

Clipclop: Dave did all the laundry last week when he was on vacation. OMG, there was tons.... I put it all way yesterday and today. I think we have too many clothes. LOL I think we need to go naked.LOL scary thought. Have fun doing homework.

Angel: We got 2-1/2 inches last night until this afternoon of rain. I can't believe how much it has rained lately. We need it..have been in a drought for 5 years.

Well, I am going to bed..stayed up too late and have to get up early in the am to work on my websites. I am planning on walking tomorrow while Mallissa is at the gym. I hope the weather is good. My bike has a flat..will get Dave to fix next weekend..actually probably ask my stepson because Dave is not handy. LOL Tues is swim night, Wed is walk again, Thur is swim night and Friday I will do a video again.

Have a great week and stay on program!!
