Sorry I have been MIA. I have been busy finishing up a class and just doing the usual summer stuff. It looks like I have some posts to catch up on! I just wanted to pop in real quick and will drop back soon when I have more time. It's after 1am my time, and I need to get up bright and early for work. The good news is that my new job is going great. And I lost another 1.8 pounds last week when I weighed in. Moving right along! Hope you are all doing well. G'nite for now!
One more thing...I attached a photo of our NEW kitty. I am as bad as Deanne with all my animals! I love em all! We got him this past weekend--and named him Cosmo. My husband calls him Kramer (from Seinfeld). He is a lot of fun!
Thanks Kery for the hugs.........I have needed bunches of those! They said today that my dad is looking at getting out of the Rehabilitation Hosp. on the 23. He is still so weak, they want him to be strong because he has been taking care of my mother too. Still no word on his blood being so low. Hope to find out tomorrow. I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel now. I can't wait to get back on track again. Eating lousy makes me feel so bad. So why in the heck do we do that? UGH! Anyway, You all sound like you are doing great! A big welcome to the newbys since I have been absent.
I will return!!! In full swing again!!!
Kim
Seems like forever since I have been on here. How is everybody?
Kim so glad to hear from you and hopefully your Dad will get back on track and you can get back to normal. I know it has been so hard on you, nothing gets any older than sitting in a hospital day after day. I do hope you get some answers today about his blood work.
Sending hugs to the rest of you Vixens. What have you all been doing?
Let's all get up this morning and do our exercise. This is coming from one that hardly ever did any until this last month. I have been walking everyday and absolutely love it sure wish I had done this yrs. ago might not be so fat now. I have to get on the track at 6 am before this Texas weather gets too hot.
I have been doing fair on my WW, not as good as I know I should.

Hey girls...sorry I've been MIA. I've been so busy. Nic left last night and I'm lonely as ****. I leave tomorrow morning. So, I've been running around doing last minute stuff. I procrastinate with everything.
Kim- Hugs to you. It sounds like things are looking up for your father though. I'm here for you, girl!
WW is just ok. I know I havent lost any this week because of TOM. So, I will weigh in next week.
Ok girls, I will post later. If I dont, I will post on Sunday most likely.
Kim, I'm so glad to hear that Sid's surgery went well! And, Kim (O2B), you and your dad are in my prayers. {{{{{{{hugs to you}}}}}}}
I don't know if I mentioned this but I went out of state for the weekend to Ohio. I left early Friday morning and came home Monday late afternoon. Had to work from 8 to 3 on Wednesday but am enjoying a "do nothing" day today.
I've also got to shorten the leash on myself because I didn't do too well with the SB thing while I was away. :-p So, I'm going back to following a strict SB diet plan to get back on track.
Deanne... I'm glad to hear that your TOM finally came. Whew huh? {{{{{hugs}}}}} to you too with missing Nic.
Well... just thought I'd drop a short note to say "hi".... hope you're all having a good day.

Karen, your kitten is so cute! I've got a grey cat too, named Smokey. I got him when he was about 4 weeks old, because his mom abandoned him in a warehouse where my neighbor worked. She stumbled across him when she heard tiny meowing. As soon as I saw him, I knew that I had to keep him. Because I raised him from such a young age, he's really affectionate with me. Congrats on your new kitty!
Here's a couple pictures of my cats, Smokey and Squeaks. Smokey is my grey cat... he's about 9 yrs old now. And Squeaks is the tan and white one. He's about 10 months old. I call him Squeaks cuz he's such a whiner when he doesn't want to be bothered. LOL
Ohmygawd... Curvy Vixens was on page 2 of the list of support groups. You all must be busy or something cuz nobody's written a thing since my last post yesterday. Well, this note should bump us back to the first page again.
Got some good news... I weighed myself this morning and I've lost FIVE pounds!! I'm down to 160 ... wooooo hooooo!!! I thought that my little slip-ups over the weekend would have a more negative impact, but I guess I wasn't quite as bad as I thought. Whew!
Yum-di-dum, then it's time that I add a little entry for today and not let it slip on page 2
Karen - Nice to see you peek in. Good thing on the job and class
Deanne - I hope you have a great week-end and that the trip goes well.
Tales from the stay at the 'rents - So yeah, I paid a visit to my parents yesterday. I'm super-happy, because they got the clothes they had ordered for me a few weeks ago (the ones that I specifically asked to be "one size under" to motivate me) and OMG they fit. Not snug or "it'll be better 3 or 4 pounds from now", but fit. It's the FIRST time since I'm 11 that I fit into a 38 size again (that's, uhm, a US 8, I think); granted, the catalogue where they bought them cuts its sizes quite "largely", so you can say it's a "wide 8", but it's still good news no matter what. I could also get a few clothes that my sister doesn't want anymore, as I can finally wear them too, so that gives me a little less worries about how all my clothes are too large, make me look like a clown, and I don't have money to buy a new wardrobe
Speaking of my sis, on the other hand, I saw her yesterday too and gah... she looks awful She's, like, a size 2 now (for being only 5'3''), she looks horribly thin, even in the face, I barely recognized her at first. That's not being thin, that's being almost beyond skinny! I didn't have the opportunity to talk with her much, unfortunately, so I'm not sure why she's slimmed down that much. And she wanted ME to tell her how to gain fat >.< I told her to eat more, better things, and do some weight-training in order to gain the RIGHT kind of weight, but somehow she's convinced that having muscle = looking like a man. Argh, youngings!

Hey chicks...I don't have much time to write. I have to go do my grocery shopping...IN AMERICA! OH YEA! I'm so excited. Normal food. I'm at 2pts for the day. I had a Special K bar. I may go over points today because I'm so hungry. After being on a plane all day with hardly any food, that happens.
Thanks for all the messages to me. I will post to y'all later. Deb, congrats girlfriend!
vixens!! I'm here.. honest... I have been soooo outta my mind with this computer...!!!! yikes...
I have lost nothing... I haven't exercised either. Jamie's bf has been here a week, and he stayed in a room where my treadmill is... yes it gave me an excuse but I could have walked outside.
Heather sang in a show today and sang ava maria, it gave me goose bumps.. I know she is my kid.. but I think she sings awesome...
tomorrow is fathers and and we are going to a YANKEE GAME!! Look for me behind 3rd base..
I'm off to bed gals... will post more often I promise.. miss you all
Love
Lynn

Hey chicks...
How is everyone?
Lynn- I'm glad you had a good time yesterday. We went to a Baltimore Oreoles game but didn't make it in. It was crappy weather and long lines. So, we went out to dinner in the inner harbor. Good time.
Things are good here. Nic has his first day of school today. He got a chocolate lab named Popeye. He sounds so excited about this k9 stuff.
My brother and I are going to go out and do something today. Not sure what. Will post later.
My food today:
frozen ham and cheese omelate- 4pts
Ok ladies.. ive have a busy week.. sorry for not posting. We went camping and then to a ball game for fathers day. I've been keeping up walking and trying to be good on my diet. I've managed to drop another pound, but its really slow going right now.. I know the ice cream didnt help yesterday lol. I'm off for my walk now.. I'll post later
