Weighty Issues #32
 

Welcome to the November edition of our Weighty Issues thread. We're a group of wonderful women from different walks of life, spread out across the U.S. from the east coast to the west Check us out here! . We support each other through the highs and lows of every day life--it's not just about weight loss, it's about LIFE. If you have something to say or need a shoulder to cry on, come on in, grab chair and stay awhile. You'll be glad you did.

OK so Halloween was fun. I love the innocence of youth and just watching the kids dress up as their favorite characters and stuff. Michael looked cool in his "Phoenix Ninja" costume (trying to resize some pics to post). My neighborhood kinda sucks for trick or treating since it's an older one and most people my age with little kids have moved out. Now it's mostly elderly people who keep their porch lights off and shut the doors :lol:. Still, there were enough houses as we rounded the block to give Mikey a nice haul of goodies. I think with the current climate of crime and everything, a lot of people are choosing to go to organized functions like trick or treating at malls or other places. Yeah, I know it's safer and everything, but to me it's just not "real"... anyway, we had fun and a little exercise tramping around the neighborhood.

Angie, oh man, "officially old"? You CAN'T be that--because I'm older than you :lol: Your kids are growing up quick, lucky you! You'll be free of them soon ;) Just kidding. Glad you're feeling better.

Julie, how'd your kids fare? Do you guys have a fairly young neighborhood that a lot of kids pass thru?

Cherie, how about you and your girls? I bet they had a lot of fun in a new neighborhood going door to door.

Cal, did you get pics of Ashley as Jasmine (I know you did). Does your pooch go trick or treating with her? We dressed up Lucky (our not-so-little-anymore Pup) in her pink Isaac Mizrahi polo shirt with a matching pink flowered collar with rhinestones and took her around with us.

Kempy & Dips, did you guys do any celebrating? Any alcohol involved? :lol: I have to live vicariously thru you guys since I'm such a social dud...

Anywho, I've got to get some bills paid and statements sent out. Have a good one! :wave:

Here's some pics:

Hey a new thread ...why didnt I think of that? :lol: :crazy: Thanks Noelle where would we be without you?

Where is everyone today...coming down off a Halloween hangover. :lol: I didnt eat any candy yesterday because I was too sick. Jay did a number on the Laffy Taffy though. Him and the kids ate a ton of it.

Not much happening here today.

Come out and play!!! :tantrum: :lol:

Noelle, Where is the pumpkin?

Sorry....a little slow on the uptake. When my friend fixed up my computer he did away with the software I'm used to for resizing my pics. They should show up now.

I had to show you guys the jack-o-lantern I carved. Not much skill with the carving but what I thought was funny were the rubber bouncy ball eyes :lol:...and if you look closely, there are the two mini-pumpkins that Michael and I painted. Guess who did what...

Hi Girls

Noelle CUTE pics! We had a nice time on Halloween. No rain and it wasn't too cold. The kids got tons of candy. They went to more houses this year than last year. I was tired by the end. I saw older kids without mom and dad and I thought to myself before I know it they will be embarrassed to be seen with us so I better enjoy it :).

How are you feeling Angie? Get well!

Sorry I have not been around to much. I just have not been feeling well. I have this mouth pain that three doctors can't figure out what it is. I was on antibiotics and nothing....now steriods which aren't really helping either. They are just making me feel blah. So this afternoon I am back to the dentist again. I am just in pain all the time. Sorry to complain but I wanted you guys to know why I have not been writing so much. I made some homemade pea soup and rolls last night. It was so good. It was a nice fall dinner. Anyway sweethearts I will check back later on. Have a great day everyone :)
Hi Kempy, Cal, Cherie, Dips and Holly too

hi guys. How is everyone today. Good I hope. I am having in law problems. They are so mean and I just cant take them anymore. They say things that are untrue just to hurt us I think. I am so sick of dealing with them. 17 years of my life I have been putting up with them and I think I am about done dealing with them all together.

On the plus side I went to get my eyes checked this morning. Gonna get some new contacts. :cheer: That is about it for me today.

Hello My Girls!!
 

OH my goodness! I just did 80 push-ups (not straigt through 2 sets of 30 then 1 set of 20) And I am trembling something awefull.:hyper: I can barely type.

Noelle- No partying for me I had to do homework. I so wanted to go to the parade though I heard it was Jumpin'. So sorry, you won't get much vicarious action through me. Tomorrow is a different story though, I am partying hard for my b-day! My last full day as a 23 year old , wow where does time go? Anyway, your kid is truely a heart breaker. Just the cutest little ninja in creation. He gets it from his mommy without a doubt ;)

Angie- I feel your pain with the in-laws. That was the core reason for my break-up with my ex fiance. His mother couldn't stand me and the feeling was mutual. I can't really give you any advise seeing how I let it destroy my relationship but I can definately offer sympathy.

J- My poor dear, I hope you figure out what's bothering you and get it talken care of

Okay Im going to tremble to death, I need to stretch more.

TTYL

Hey everyone.. what day is this????? I think I am finally caught up with most of my work here... and I can take a break and check in with you gals!

http://share.shutterfly.com/action/w...8AYt2TNu3cNGIz

There is a link to the girls Halloween pictures... as you can see by the amount of candy... they had a GREAT time. By the end.. both were saying their bags were too heavy to carry. Perfect sign that they got way more than enough. We were only out for an hour.. but I think they were scamming everyone into giving them two and three and four pieces!

Now to bore you with my vacation pictures. There are a lot of them, and I didn't caption them, so you will probably get bored. Sorry. Last Thursday, in Roatan, Honduras I got bit all over my back and shoulders by something. We think it could be sand mites.. well, I STILL have the blasted bites, and now they are raised and itching like crazy! Great Vacation souvenier. :D

Noelle.... Michael is soooooo HANDSOME!!! Oh my goodness... what a beautiful boy! I am glad he had a great time.. and I love all of your pumpkins!

Julie... I hope you find out soon what is wrong and start feeling better. Glad your kiddos had a great time on Halloween.

Angie I'm sorry about the inlaws.... sometimes its just easier to write them off and not stress over them.

Dips... wtg on the pushups!!!!! woo hoo.. you go!

Well, tomorrow is Hannah's 8th birthday. I can't believe she is getting so old. Yesterday, we went to the orthodontist to have spacers put inbetween her back teeth. Next week they will take molds and then the week after that, she will get an appliance fitted, with a thumb sucking reminder. I can't seem to break her of that habit. It looks like I'll be getting braces soon too.... I'll have my first appointment then to see what needs to be done for my teeth.

Tonight, Hannah and I are going to make the No Bake Cookies for her class. She wants 40 of them so everyone can have two.. plus she wants apple juice. Tomorrow evening, I am taking her and three of her friends (plus Megan) to Incredible Pizza. Afterwards, one of them will spend the night with her. Her very first sleep over. I hope she has fun. Sunday... we are going rollerskating. All in all, it should be a great weekend.

Oh.. on the 1st.. I started back on my diet. After seeing some of my pictures (the ones that Alan took that are not posted) full length, I am ashamed of myself.. so I've found my motivation and have started back. I just need to order a huge picture of that and post them everywhere in my house to remind me NOT to eat. Oh.. and while I was gone, my digital scale that I ordered (food scale) came in. I cannot believe how off I was in measuring my food. No wonder I couldn't lose weight.

OK.. well, I better get back to work.. I just wanted to say hello to everyone!!!!

Talk to you guys later!

Cherie

Hi Girls

Cherie, great pictures! You are such a pretty woman. The black dress is beautiful. Alan must have been so proud to show you off! The girls look adorable. My dd just walked by the computer and said I want a dress like that, LOL. My dd is still sucking her thumb. I remind her during the day but when she is sleeping it is in. Happy Birthday sweet Hannah :hb:

Dips go girl with the push ups. I can do the girl style ones but I don't think I could do the real ones 5 times.

Angie so sorry the in-laws are being a pain. Do you think you should just come out and say something to them or leave it alone? Good luck with that. And congrats on the new contacts. That reminds me I have to re-order some.

Noelle I hope you are having a nice day....anything planned for the weekend?

Kempy where have ya been? I hope all is well. Busy with those puppies!

Hi Cal. Hope the students are being good for you :)

Hi Holly.

I am in the process of cleaning out my basement. I can't believe the stuff I keep. I have to stop being so sentimental about things and just get rid of them, but it is hard. I found a couple of new shirts from last christmas I got in a christmas box from my mil and washed them up. That was a nice surprise. She was probally wondering why she has not seen me in them. LOL
Anyway I don't even recognize myself in the mirror my face is so swollen from the steriod I am one. I can't wait to be done with the dumb things. I feel so ugly!

Have a great rest of the day everyone.

Cherie, I wanted to ask you are you back on South Beach? My brother and sil are coming in from California and I wanted to be ten pounds lighter by now. Oh well just move on and keep going. Btw would you or anyone like to do a weekely challenge like getting in water for the day or something else? It might be a way to keep each other on track! Just a thought girls, bye for now :)

Hello there people. Remember me? I used to post here a long time again. Wondering if there's room for me again. :?: I'm looking for an active thread, one where I know someone's going to be posting. I've been busy on the 21-day challenge thread but sometimes just want a another place to go... whaddya say? :wave:

Hi Red, Jump on in :)

Good Night Everyone, Happy Friday!

Oh My Gossshhhh!!! Redballoon Is Back!!!
 

:wave: Hey there Red! Welcome back. Of course we remember you. Genki desu ka :) It seems you are doing great. With you and Dips back online here maybe you can get some motivational vibes going for the rest of us in a slump. :strong:

Well, I just booked a complimentary 2 night stay the the Rio Hotel in Sin City for next month... we already have a room downtown at the Fremont but I figured since the Rio was free I might as well take advantage of it. I am going to indulge in their Seafood Buffet while I'm there. Don't worry, I'm selective and go for the steamed lobster tails :hun: and stay away from all that deep fried stuff. Then we're back at the Fremont Street Experience for the New Year's eve celebration :woo:

Cherie, you have got two beauties on your hands. They are so adorable, you can just see the young ladies they will become. Watch out for them boys! And you lady, are stunning! Alan is a lucky man to have you dressing up his arm. You guys look great together. I love those inner tube pics, was that a cave??! I am such a chicken in the water...Beautiful scenery all over. Sorry about the sand mites, those sound horrible.

Julie, do the docs know what's going on w/your smile? Steroids huh? Now would be a good time to start lifting weights :^: ;) :lol: Just playing with ya. I know it sucks to be in pain. Hope you feel better soon. So your little bros coming to visit again? That's so cool. I know you guys are close. I think he'll enjoy the cooler weather. I'm up for a challenge. I need to get my water in as well. I'll shoot for 4 bottles while I'm at work and 3 large glasses (30+ oz glass) while I'm at home.

Angie, you know I feel for you. I try to stay as far away from mine as possible...yuck, speaking of which, I was on my way to the grocery store and i saw my SIL and BIL driving in the other direction. Just seeing them gave me the heebie jeebies :lol: I know I am rotten to the core :devil:

Kempy how are your little babies doing? They must be getting mobile?

Cal, Friday's on it's way! Anything new and exciting happening in your classroom?

Dips, have fun on your birthday and don't do anything I wouldn't do. (don't worry, there's lots of leeway there).

Holly, hope you're doing good out there. How was your halloween?

Well, I've got to clear some things off my bed before I can hop in it. Talk with you all tomorrow. Nighty night.

Just a quick post here; I've been home sick for two days. Of course, this is like a vacation for me because I can truely rest with Ashley and Alberto gone for the day. I'm feeling a little better today, but I'm still going to the docter. I'll take care of the mess in my room when I go back on Monday. I know the kids will have really been trying for the sub.

Dips: Good luck on the midterms. Enjoy your birthday celebration; you deserve it.

Noelle: I just can't get the pics of Ashley to post. If I email them to you could you try? Otherwise, I'll post them on the photobucket site.

Angie: I don't have any problems with my inlaws (of course they are over 6000 miles away) :D Hang in there. I read that Maine wants to be changed over to the Atlantic time zone. Just curious, how do you feel about that?

Julie: I hope everything works out well and the pain goes away for you.

Kempy: The puppies were sooooo cute! Ashley saw the pics and asked if she could have one. I had to show her on a map how far away you were and that we couldn't just drive over and get one. I told her it would take too long to drive and she said "Not drive, mom. We can take a plane!" Oh the things kids say. By the way, could you PM me your address? I thought I still had it, but I can't find it.

Cherie: What beautiful princesses you have. You will have to watch out for the boys. You are a beauty as well. It's easy to see where the girls get their looks from. It looks like you had a great time on your cruise. Lucky!!

Red: Welcome back. I also remember you.

Take care everyone. I'm off to the doctor.

Cal

Happy Friday ladies!!! I'm kind of just watching the clock waiting for quitting time (not for another 4 hours for me :( )... Anyway, just wanted to say hey.

Cal, I resized the pics of Ashley and her cousin at Halloween. TOO CUTE!!! I can't believe how much older she looks these days. She's quite the young lady. And I declare! I love that hat on Alyssa. :)

Pic 1: Ashley as Princess Jasmine with her cousin Alyssa the Southern Belle
Pic 2: Ashley

Dips, I just realized yesterday was your birthday!!!
Well, still your today!! So, have a great one!!!

HAPPY :sunny: BIRTHDAY!!!

:cb: :woo: :cp: :hb: :gift: :woo: :gift: :cp: :cb:

:dance: :dance: :dancer: :dancer: :dance: :dance: :dancer: :dancer:

Happy Birthday from me also!

Hello!?!?! :listen: What's this? Does everyone take weekends off around here? I hope not. Weekends, weekdays, they're all work for me and work means urges to distract myself from it, which means I want to read posts! Come on, isn't someone out there up for a rant or rave or in some way long rambling post? :shrug:

What a weekend!!
 

Hello girlz!!

Whew! Did I wear myself out on friday. I was at the club till 5, went to IHOP and got in at 7:30am on saturday. I slept til about 4 and got up feeling sore like I worked out or something, well I guess I sorta did :D I was too tired to do anything saturday and I have to work today so pray for me.

Red- How's it going, lady. We usually don't take weekends off but it was a task getting my energy back up. I'm still not there yet. Thank you for the ery festive B-day post. I love it. Yes that's me in my avatar about 2 years ago but I don't look exactly like that today. Take off a good 10-15 pounds and that's what you'd be looking at today. I'll be posting my b-day picks so you can get a better idea.

Mazarin- Thank you also. How very sweet of you to post to me.

Cal- How's it going? Your little lady looks adorable, as does her cousin. Let me find out you got some brown folks in the family, Holla! :lol: Anyways they looked like they had a blast.

A big hello to everyone else. I am still recovering from the weekend. (And I don't even drink) I guess I'm getting old. TTYL

yo...
 

Hi My Gurlzz
 

busy, busy....
 

Happy Monday all!!! I am trying to do a little housecleaning. I HATE clutter!!! I dont like my elliptical or exercise bike so I put them in the local paper to try to get rid of them and for now they are out in my shed. I brought out my treadmill and have it all set up and all I have to do is get my obese *** on it.

I am trying to sell the new livingroom set I bought too because I dont like it. I went for fluffy furniture and now I know I dont like fluffy furniture. :lol: I want a sectional again so maybe I can get rid of this and start over. I am so picky. haha

Dips, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! :hb: :gift: :hat: :woo: I am sorry I didnt get a chance to wish you a good one beforehand. It sounds like you had quite the night though. I am glad you had fun. Maybe some year we can all get together and take that time to celebrate all of our birthdays together. :woo: :grouphug:

Red, Hey girl!! It is nice to hear from you again. I thought you had left us for good. Geesh, I hope you can get your friend out. It doesnt sound very American friendly over there.

Julie, I hope you got some help for your mouth pain. Does anyone have any idea on what is causing it?

Noelle, How was your weekend?

Cherie, Did you get back in the groove after your cruise? Your pics were awesome and your girls costumes were great.

Kempy, How are those puppies doing? I cant wait to see some updated pics.

gotta get through it....
 

Good morning, people. It's the start of another day, Tuesday here. Still dark out but I am often up and out before dawn. It's going to be a long and busy day and I couldn't get much sleep. Too many things on my mind, both of yesterday and the day to come. I hate that, not being able to sleep when you really need it, like before a trip, the night before the actual traveling day. :stress:

These are the times that try women's souls...or similar to that. These are the times when I reach for food in a sorry attempt to quiet my nerves. What I really need is sleep but that's not to be had. Even my usual dozing on the train will have to be foregone because I have to be doing the initial pondering of some translation work I have to do. Oh well, no time to ramble. Up and at 'em! :strong:

angie -- :wave: Hello! I was wondering where you'd been. I start back and then there's like no posts! :eek: Thank God, Dips was in. But now you're here and I'm sure there will be a right slew of posts to follow! :yes: It's good to be clearing things out, isn't it? Better than having the unused and unwanted things sitting around. I hope you get use out of that treadmill! And you'll have that posterior whittled down in no time! :goodvibes What exactly is "fluffy furniture?" I'm picturing a soft easy chair of goose down that you sink into and have trouble getting back up out of, no?

Yes, thanks for the wishes for my co-worker. That was one of the things on my mind keeping me awake, that and the fact that I had emailed a manager at work who kind of screwed me over last year and who hasn't exchanged a word with me all year! :mad: I emailed him because he was helping out with a character reference letter for this kid, but he hasn't even bothered to reply to my email and it is ticking me right bad. Okay, okay, he may not have seen it, but I doubt that. Still....I will withhold judgment...nah, what the heck, I'll just stop thinking about it. Once a loser, always a loser! I go to see the young guy today and will have to totally control myself and smile at the cops and all and do all this bowing and scraping probably and have them checking my "alien registration card" and stuff. And then I'll have to interpret for myself and...ugh!!...I can only see the guy for 15 mins! And it's like an hour and a half away or more. Japan is not NOT American friendly. It's foreigner unfriendly, period, always has been, probably always will be. Island mentality and all that I guess....

Well, hope you and everyone else (if they ever show up!!) have a great day!

:sunny:

Hey ladies, just popping in to say hi :wave: I was out and about this weekend so I couldn't post. My sis' workplace had a friends and family night last night so I was helping her set up some things. Free food, free give-aways and the like. I left last night at around 7:45 pm and then my other sis calls me to say that they called my name for a door prize--a freakin' recliner (she works for a furniture store), but you had to be present to win. Oh well, I don't exactly have the space for a recliner anyway. Other than that, we were working on a scrapbook project for another friend whose b-day is coming up. I am so not artsy-craftsy so it took me quite awhile to do my part. Oooh, and I bought my Harry Potter Goblet of Fire movie presale tickets. I can't wait to see it!

Red, I can't imagine being incarcerated (sp?) in a foreign country and not being able to speak the language. That is scary. I hope your efforts can get your friend out in a short time. Yes "Sin City" is Las Vegas. In fact, I was just there last month and we saw quite a few sumo wrestlers who flew in from Japan. They had a big sumo tournament at the Manadalay Bay Hotel on the Strip. I don't know how they grow those guys so tall and big :sumo:

Dips, you don't drink? Good girl! :angel: It seems like ages since I've stayed out all night until the wee breakfast hours. So...did you get a good birthday haul?

Angie, Angie, Angie... :lol: your poor furniture must feel so rejected. Hey, whatever makes you happy right? Wanna know a secret? My treadmill was sitting out in my garage for so long it rusted. I finally got the City bulk pick up to take it away last month :^: .

Julie, how are you doing today? Feeling any better? I saw Simon Cowell on Regis & Kelly this morning. When does AI 5 start???

Cal, hope you're feeling better as well. Back at school today?

Kempy, did you take any more pics of those puppies? They're so cute I just wanna pick 'em up and squeeze 'em.

Cherie, how's your day going? Did you and the girls do anything fun this weekend?

Well, I really gotta go and get some work done. I'll try and pop in later. Have a good one.

Hi my Gurlzz
 

Good Morning girls!!! It is sunny and about 40 out here this morning. I am trying to convince myself to go get on my treadmill and start to lose all the weight that I have gained back. I will be starting from scratch again because I am only 5 pounds away from my highest ever weight. That is alot of weight!!! I take full blame for it though. I just wish it wasnt so easy to fall back into all the old habits again. :lol:

So what does everyone have planned for today?

Dips, I hope you feel better soon. You sound just like me. :lol: I have the hand sanitizer in the car so I can use it after I leave stores. I hate public bathrooms and the thoughts of who used the carts before me. :lol:

Poor Mickey(my dog) He is sitting here on the sofa trying to sleep and both kittens keep curling up to him to try to cuddle. He puts up with so much from them. haha

Hey guys.... I am going through some personal stuff right now, so I will pop back in when I can and ready to talk about it. I hope you guys are doing great.

(((HUGS)))

Cherie

WOW :carrot: :strong: :ebike: :tread: :bike:

Okay girls, I am really trying to put in an effort today to get back on track and get back to my old self. I had 1 cup of cheerios with skim milk for breakfast and I am going to have some WOW chips and a turkey sandwich for my lunch but the most important thing I did was get on my treadmill and walk for a half an hour. This is huge for me because I havent exercised in so long. I have to say that I feel good, it is amazing how hard it is to get up the ambition to do it but yet it feels like such an accomplishment when it is over. I set up a nice area in my bedroom. I have a big screen tv in there and I put the treadmill by the wall with a big fan in front of it and I watched the dysfunctional couples on Dr. Phil and walked. I will try to do at least another 15 minutes tonight as well.

{{{{Cherie}}} We are here for you when you are ready to talk. Love ya

Hi Girls,

Cherie, :grouphug: like Angie said we are here for you. You are in my thoughts.

Angie go girl!!!! I am proud of you. Your menu for the day sounds great. I am still battling Halloween candy but I did not give in and have a piece last night. It is going to be in the fifties here today so I would like to get in a walk. When I brought my son to school this morning it felt like a Spring day.

Dips Happy Birthday :gift: :woo: :hb: sorry the wishes are late. It sounds like you had a good one! 24 now? You are baby yet :) Hope you feel better soon. No matter how hard we try sometimes to avoid sickness we still get it. I am like Angie, I use sanitzer that I keep in my car after the stores.

Noelle to bad about the recliner. That would be my luck too, LOL.

Kempy, I called about a yellow lab pup in the paper. I wanted her so bad but my dh doesn't think going in to winter would be a good time to get one. :(
He wants one all ready potty trained. So I might check the humane society. I think a dog would be good for the kids. Our last dog was a lab and they are so wonderful. So how is everything? Are you still at the salon?

Last weekend we went and saw the movie Chicken Little with the kids. It was a cute movie but kind of hard to follow, the story jumped around alot.
Yesterday I started writing down the foods I eat, all meals and snacks. I have to get some of this weight off. Last year I was at goal at this time. SO maybe this will help. Well girls everyone have a great day!

Hi Cal, Holly and Red.

Thanks Julie!! I did my hand weights too. :lol: I am trying I guess that is all I can do and not give up.

Oh a dog!! I bet your kiddos would love that. I was reading through our Uncle Hnerys book(a swap and sell book for our area) and this woman was trying to find a good home for her black German Shepherd because her husband was complaining and making it impossible for her to keep her. I felt so bad for the poor dog. She was beautiful by the way and I bet the husband abuses her too if he is that bad. If I could find a home for her I would. I hate to see animals suffer in homes where they arent wanted. end rant.

I think I will make fat free hot dogs and baked fries with cauliflower for supper tonight. That sounds pretty good to me. I have been surfing the 3FC websight today and I havent done that for about 2 years. I should do a journal again.

Angie that is sad about the dog. I would take her but we have our hearts set on a lab. Dh always had one while growing up and it was our first dog together. I might be making hot dogs for dinner tonight too. I am not sure yet. Throw them on the grill with some beans and chips? No chips for me :) or only a couple. Yesterday I made a pot of chili and put it in the crockpot and left it cook all day....it was so good. Well that is about it for me. I want to get to the store and look for some boots before the snow comes. We also need new shovels. It is hard to think about snow with a beautiful day here being in the fifties.
Bye for now all.

Oh I wanted to mention I took a good 30 minute walk this morning and I am still writing down the foods I am eating. I want to be down a pound next week at this time, maybe two?

The winds of change are blowing...
 

Hey ladies, I am so goofing up this morning...for the past few days I've been looking online for a reasonably priced jacket for my upcoming trip to Vegas (the black one I'm wearing in my profile pic is a tad bit snug these days :ink: ). Well, I finally settled on one and then while going through my closet this morning, WAY over on the lefthand side is a brown leather bomber type jacket which I've had for years and just forgot about. I must've worn it about 13 years ago??? But I put it on and it fit! So I didn't really need to buy another one--and that just goes to show you that 13 years ago I was big too :lol: But anyway, I also was psyching myself out to go back to my WW meetings which I thought were @ 9 a.m. this morning.....no such luck, it's on Wednesday @ 9 a.m..... so I got the wrong freakin' day. I dug out my old organizer w/my quicktrak food logs and calculators and everything. I'm back at work now trying to get my scattered head together. And how are your days going so far?

Angie, bravo girl! I am proud of you :cp: I know from personal experience how difficult it is to GET on that right track and STAY on. I am trying to get motivated myself (see above blatherings :rolleyes: ). I think with more people on here getting into the groove of things the good-eating and exercise vibes will rub off :crossed:.

Dips, :( damn those germ-spreading co-workers! Go give some of those germs to your classmates :devil:

Cherie, :grouphug: we're always here if you need us.

Julie, I didn't really care for Chicken Little although Michael liked it. Yeah, it did jump around quite a bit. It was too much of a "copycat" of a whole bunch of other movies (reminded me of War of the Worlds and that M Night Shymalan movie w/Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix in it...the name escapes me). I am SO eagerly awaiting Harry Potter though :goodvibes:

Red, you should be greeting a new day right about now :sunny:. Hope you were able to get some sleep. Your mind can definitely do things at night and keep you awake even when you want to crash. How's your co-worker holding up?

Cal, how are things in AZ? Cooling down some?

Kempy, don't hide girl. Come out and chat.

Holly, you too :)

Gotta get a move on for now. Have a good one guys.
