THursday night sign off
 

Hi Lovely Ladies - don't have time to post much right now. I won the area humorous speech contest and will go on to the district. Got my workout this a.m. but blew it on the water. Got some upsetting news at work today and I am on a rampage to find a new job. Will post more and respond individuallly when I get time, hopefully tomorrow.

Have a great evening, all.

Oops
 

:( I ate only four servings of fruits/veggies last night, unless I can somehow count the glass of wine as grapes. :s: I will have to do better today.

Carla - it must be something in the air. Yesterday and today I have felt very sad and angry (and it isn't even my TOM). I hope you are happier today :)

My DH's 36th birthday is tomorrow! We are going to the Palm here in D.C. for dinner tomorrow night. Mmmm. My plan is to spend all day at the gym beforehand; then if i go a little overboard, it shouldn't be too bad!

Here's to the end of another work week!

Hi Fishwoman!

I did an "oops" tooyesterday and today. I did 1070+ calories yesterday. I also had two small salads. But then.........I had some vodka and orange juice to relax :cheers: and later on, when I got hungry, :hungry: I had a small cup of sweet potatoes and a small cup of macaroni and cheese.

This morning, I went downtown to Bordares to get my daughter two books for bookreports this weekend, and I stopped into the Chocolate Mousse to say hi to a friend. The craving started, :chockiss: and I got three pieces of choclote. I just finished them, and boy were they good! :s: I too will have to do better the rest of the day.

I hope that you and Carla aren't feeling as sad and angry and are happier today. Me - I just feel lazy! (normal) :lol:

Happy birthday, tomorrow, to you DH! Such a younster! ;) I'm not familiar with the Palm but it's making me hungry :hun: just thinking about it! :rofl: Have fun at the gym beforehand and enjoy you food when you get there!

mscat -- I'm concerned about you! You're such a lovely lady. Hoping to hear from you.

Late Night Report
 

Things are better today. Got my workout in this a.m. :cb: very little water :nono: Work was okay and I was able to calm down - the incident I thought happend did not actually happen. I am still serioius about looking for another job. I am very excited about going on to the Division contest for my speech contest - so life is too good to focus on the trivial problems at my job.

Hey Casper - watch that alcohol girl - lots of hidden calories there !

Fishwoman - :cb: for your veggies - 4 servings are better than none!

Where is everyone??? Talk to ya'll tomorrow.

This sounds good-- I want to commit to using my bowflex 3 times this week (30 min) and taking 2- 30 min cardio walks.

Starting Monday!!

Hi mscat! :wave: Glad and relieved that things are better! Yeah! you got your workout in! :cb: Sorry you got in very little water! :( I have a big tumbler next to me right now. :D But, I lost my straw, and with everything completely out of the kitchen now, I don't know where I can find another one! :( I do better sipping through a straw than actually drinking it from the tumbler.

Glad to hear that work was okay and that you were able to calm down - glad to know that the incident you thought happened did not actually happen. If your're really serious about looking for another job, I say, "you GO girl!" :lol:

I'm sure that you are excited about going on to the Division contest for your speech contest - you are so comical I'm sure that you will do great! If you feel that the problems at your job are trivial, then I agree that life is too good to focus on thise trivialities.

I'll watch the alcohol - know that there are a lot of hidden calories there! It was just one of those days when my son plucked my last reserved nerve! :mad:

So far, today, I've had 1030 + calories. But I did have :mcd: McDonald's cheesburger :cbg: and a small fry, while I was waitiing for the kids at dance classes today. :s: No excersize today, but I feel like I had a huge workout - been helping my husband lug out cabinets from the kitchen (remember all of our stairs) along with lots of bags of heavy trash, and also helped him unload drywall and 2 x 4s off of the truck and onto the porch. Boy am I sore! :workout: I'm tired, but not sleepy yet. :tired:

Hi BJLewis! :wave: What sounds good? Good luck on commiting to using your bowflex 3 times this week (30 min) and taking 2-30 mini cardio walks, starting Monday!

Well, I don't know where everyone else is, so I guess that that's all for now.

Hmm. I think i will be re-doing this strive-for-five challenge again next week. I did well on friday and saturday, but I can already tell today is going to be a bust.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Call me BJ

Hi sanfdybhat! :wave: Glad to hear that you are doing fine! I'm doing fine too! I went to my mom's EE&T doctor this morning, and I finally found out why my ears having been itching. I have an ear allergy. He cleaned them out and gave me a prescription for a cream to apply twice a day with a cotton swab. I thought that I was going crazy! :crazy: I had lost 2 lbs., but yesterday I really pigged ou! :ink: However, he did ask for xtra green peppers and xtra mushrooms, so at least I had some more vegetables..... :s: Amazingly, I'm at 170 lbs., which means that I lost 1/2 lb.! :D Go figure! I had just ordered some dress shoes for church, and they arrived just now. They're for a special re-entry celebration to our church, in November. My feet are swollen right now, but they're still cute. I can't wait until the dress gets here. Hope I don't have to get it altered. I took a chance with an 18 instead of an 16. My stomach and behind just seem to keep getting bigger and bigger! :( Hope that you enjoy your new skirt and sweater!

Hi FishWoman! :wave: What's the strive-for-five challenge? Anyway, glad you did well on Friday and Saturday! Hope that yesterday wasn't too much of a bust How was your weekend? I was busy playing taxi mom with the kids dance classes and my DH was busy with the kitchen renovation. My daughter was busy doing a book report, and my son was busy being a boy and staying into trouble! :lol:

Hi BJ! :wave: Most of us check in everyday, or every chance we get from day to day. Mscat checks our results on Mondays. She'll explain it to you.
