Hello Hello
 

Hello to all of my sistas. I am back from my vacation getting ready to head to work tomorrow morning...funny thing is I am really looking forward to going.

Where is everyone at? Postings have been extremely light..I agree with you TryinAgain that we need a boost of something here. Does anyone have any suggestions because TryinAgain is definitely on the right track with this idea. ;) Hope everyone is doing o.k. and that the challenge helped a little, for me not really. :?: I will be perfectly honest with you all being on a challenge and going on vacation don't mix really well. Let me rephrase that it would have if I had been 100% to it. I got really lax when I went to visit my dad.

Amanda how did the clothes shopping go for you? Congrats on the new job I am so happy for you.:carrot:

Cassy my girl how have you been doing? I hope really good.

To all my other sistas keep on smiling and I will write to you all again a little later tonight.:hug:

Regina

Hello all,

How was everyones weekend? I was doing so well,,,then I fell off the wagon banged my head,,,forgot where I was then remembered ...arghh in other words I had one REALLY bad day of eating. Ive since cleaned up my act. I did alot of work around the house...painting and moving furniture around. My living room looks like a whole new room.

Regina,,,good to know you had a good holiday.

HELLO MY SISTA'!!!:hug:

I HOPE EVERYONE'S WEEKEND WAS GOOD! I COOKED FOR MY FATHER IN LAW CUZ MY DADDY LIVES OUT OF TOWN. MY MEAL CONSISTED OF THE FOLLOWING:

SIRLOIN STEAKS
SHRIMP SKEWERS
PORK TENDERLOIN
GRILLED CORN
TURNIP GREENS
MACARONI AND CHEESE
ROLLS AND COCONUT CREAM AND APPLE PIES FOR DESSERT.

NEEDLESS TO SAY FURIOUS I FEEL OFF THE WAGON MYSELF!! I HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO THE DUST THAT I INHALED WHILE CLEANING AND I COULDNT BREATHE WELL FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT, I WAS CLEANING SO MUCH BECAUSE MY MOTHER IN LAW IS A NEAT FREAK, WANTED TO IMPRESS HER;) BACK ON TRACK THIS WEEK SISTA'S! YOUR DR. SOUNDS GREAT!! I WISH I COULD FIND ONE HERE THAT IS EMPATHETIC LIKE YOURS SEEM TO BE!

REGINA...SO GLAD YOU MADE IT BACK SAFELY GIRL, MISSED YOU:hug: GLAD TO HEAR YOU ENJOYED THE TRIP!

TRYIN... MAYBE WE CAN DO WHAT I HAD SUGGESTED BEFORE, SEND A PM TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY POSTED AND ASK THEM TO COME ON HOME! THAT SHOULD DO IT..I CAN SEND IT TOMMOROW IF THE SISTAHOOD DOESNT HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS! THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF..

Hey Everybody! I hope y'all had a great weekend. My monday morning weigh in went great. Another 3 pounds lost!!! :carrot:
My parents drove down from D.C. for a short visit. We walked them all around downtown Charlottesville. It was a great excuse to do some exploring of my new hometown. Then we went to my in-laws for Father's day on Sunday. It's nice to go there and visit knowing that we don't have to stay :o :devil:

For all those who fell off the wagon: Get up, brush yourselves off and climb back in. You can do it!! :hug: I don't know how everyone else feels, but if I eat badly for one meal, I don't count it as "falling off". I just count it as "splurging" and I'm careful to eat well and exercise a little bit more for the next couple of days. That way I don't put myself in the wrong frame of mind. After all, we're all human and we're going to give in to temptations. Life's not enjoyable if you can't enjoy it sometimes!!

Regina: I'm glad that you had a good vacation and it's super that you're ready to get back to work. That's the sign of a good job - one that you want to get up and go to.

Amanda: Congratulations on your new job!! :woo: It sounds like it'll be an improvement from your last one. It really means a lot to have a job with good benefits.

Tryinagain: I'm afraid I don't have any great ideas, but I agree that we need some sort of a kickstart.

Cjlafaye: I'm all for the PMs. Hopefully it'll work!!

Well, I'd better get some work done. I'll try to check back soon! Let's all have a great week!!:carrot: :cb:

Hello my sista's!!:hug:

WELL I PUT OUT THE CALL TO THE SISTAHOOD.. DIDNT REALIZE THERE WAS OVER 20 SISTA'S OUT THERE:D.

Hello Sista's of Fluffyhood
 

Just a short note. I've got company in from Calgary, Alberta for 2-3 weeks. I'm moving in 2 weeks and my boyfriend is in the hospital [ he has Multiple Sclerosis for the last 20 yrs. = I've known him for 8 yrs]. Hopefully he will be home Saturday he is feeling alot better.

So, needless to say I've been and will be pretty busy the next few weeks. If I don't talk to all of you for awhile I wish you all the best and will touch base again in the near future.

Luv Sista Elaine:hug:

Hi Everybody! I'm writing you from Vero Beach, Florida :sunny: where I'm on vacation with my maternal family (Grandfather all the way down to 2 year old cousin). We're having a blast and I'm getting really tan :cool: while sipping drinks on the beach :beach: It's a Disney resort that we're at (my aunt has a timeshare here) so my daughter is at an "Unbirthday Party" :gift: . She's been having a ball and swimming in the pool everyday. She's not real keen on swimming in the ocean. The first day we were here I was holding her in the ocean and a wave knocked me over. I held her up over my head while I tried to get my feet back under me, but she still got saltwater in her face and she really didn't like that. But we still have 3 more days to get her used to it again.
Before I left I did a weigh in. I didn't lose any, but I didn't gain any so I'll take it. I don't think that I'll weigh myself for a couple of weeks after this vacation. I've been picking good thinks to eat mostly (lots of fresh fruits and veggies), but the drinks are definately not on my diet and I've been having my share for sure. Although today we did go on a 10 mile bike ride :bike2: and that was quite a workout. I had my daughter in a kiddie seat on the back of my bike so it was even more that just riding myself. I did have to switch bikes with my mom towards the end and let her haul the kiddo around for a little while because it was getting really hard on me. But I did my best :carrot:
Elaine - You and your boyfriend are in my prayers. I hope by now he is out of the hospital. I hope you're able to enjoy your company.
Cjlafaye - Thanks for putting the call out to the Sistas. I see that there hasn't been much response yet, but hopefully they'll come home soon.
Well they put a short limit on the amount of time you're allowed to use the computer here and my time's almost up. So I hope everyone is doing fine and that there'll be plenty to read up on when I get back to Virginia. :hug:

Future... I Am So Jealous Of You Girl!! I Would Love To Be In Florida Right Now!!!

Elaine... Praying For Your Boyfriend Too Girl.

Well My Niece Is Here From Louisiana And I Am Having A Good Time With Her. She Has Grown So Big.. She Wears Glasses Now!!! I Couldnt Believe It How Grown She Looks. She Is The Same Age That I Was When I Started To Wear Glasses Too. She Has So Many Ways Like Me It Is Unreal. I Am Slaving Away At Work, Wish I Was Home. I Am Going To Go To The Store On My Break And Get Some Vodka, I Need To Drink My Dinner Tonight.. No Carbs:d

Check Yall Later, I Hope Everyone Is Doing Ok Out There..

Thanks for the prayers...
 

4thefuture and cjlafaye,

Thanks for the prayers. He's out of the hospital and has been home for one week now. He seems better than he was but, today he seems to have a flu bug.

Anyways I still have the company from Calgary. They have really been a help with my boyfriend when he was in the hospital and now out. They take him where he needs to go.

I'm moving next Saturday July 8th and my friends from Calgary have really helped me with the packing.

I may not be on for awhile until we move and get hooked up on the internet, so if I don't talk to everyone for awhile...I would like to say all the best.:hug:

HELLO....Can you hear me?????
 

Just wanted to say Good Morning. Hope you all had a good 4th. Here is was nice and quiet aside from our neighbors shooting off firecrackers. Anyway I am off to work like a dirty shirt. Hope you all have a good day and I hope to hear from my sistas. Keep the faith here ladies.


Regina

Another holiday done! I'm sure glad there arent anymore for awhile. Time to get back on track and stay there!~
My three are all out west with their father for his once yearly I want to be a Dad BS. They always come back swearing they'll never go back, but he manages to guilt them into it. At least I can relax and not think about schedules, curfews, etc. & just work on myself.
I hope all is well and moving on towards their goals - "eat less, excercise more", the mantra for the week!

Hey Gals! I thought I would check in quickly. Things are a little rough here after my vacation. My husband didn't get the job that we were counting on and my computer at work blew up while I was gone. But I'm hanging in there and trying not to eat my way through the hard times. I'm calling out to all my sistas here - Please come back!! I need some support!!
Elaine - I'll keep you in my prayers for your boyfriends continued healing and for a successful, easy move. It's great that you have friends with you for help and support.
CJlafaye - I grew up in Baton Rouge, LA. Tell your neice Hey from another Louisianian.
Goofygrl - Thanks for checking in. Let's keep this thread going!!

Hello is anyone out there?

TryinAgain- Hope you are enjoying your time without the kids. How long are they gone. Do the things you normally wouldn't do if they kiddies were around. ENJOY :)

4thefuture- Sorry to hear about your husband and the job. Things will fall into place soon for him. You all hang in there o.k.

Well both my daughter and I had a lose this week, we are both very excited.

I hope everyone has a good weekend and we see some more entries real soon. Hope the sistas who are MIA are doing o.k and for those of you posting keep it up!!! :) Stay strong and have fun.

Regina

I AM DOING REAL GOOD. I TOLD MY HUBBY THAT I NEED A GETAWAY, ON THE PORCH IS ALL WE CAN AFFORD RIGHT NOW..LOL..WE HAVE AN ENCLOSED PORCH. I TOLD HIM TO HAVE THE CANDLES LIT AND BUBBLY CHILLED. MY GIRL TOLD ME THAT ORANGES ARE AN AFRODISIAC SO I AM GOING TO KMART AFTERWORK SISTAS!

FUTURE... I WILL TELL HER THAT YOU SAID HI! I TOOK MY NIECE TO THE DETROIT HISTORICAL MUSEUM LAST WEEKEND AND OUR MAYOR WAS THERE. HE IS SOO HOT SISTA'S!! I JUST LOVE HIM.. WELL ANYWHO I MADE HER MEET HIM (SO I COULD GET CLOSE TO HIM LOL) AND SHE WAS ALL SHY. SHE TOLD ME OFF BUT GOOD AFTERWARDS. SHE WAS ALL LIKE " WHY DID YOU PUT ME ON THE SPOT!!! I DONT WANT TO MEET YOUR MAYOR!!" I WAS ALL " WHATEVER GIRL, ISNT HE BEAUTIFUL!" SHE WAS LIKE, " I AM GOING TO TELL MY UNCLE(MY HUBBY) YOU SAID THAT" I TOLD HER " HE UNDERSTANDS MY LOVE FOR HIM, ITS COOL GIRL" LOL.

i AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR HUBBY NOT GETTING THE JOB. MY MAMA ALWAYS SAYS, WE DONT KNOW WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE-PROBABLY BETTER THAN WE REALIZED! HANG IN THERE GIRL. I HATE COMING FROM VACATION AND MY COMPUTER IS JACKED UP AT WORK! THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS SABATOGE MY STUFF BEFORE I LEAVE SO NO ONE CAN USE IT BUT ME!

REGINA.... HEY MY SISTA!!! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER. I WILL NOW DANCE FOR YOU BOTH:dance: :dance: :dance:


SEE YA LATER CHICKIES!!!

Hey Everybody! :wave: I hope all is well with y'all. I'm still hanging in over here. I somehow managed to twist my ankle :stars: so I'm not able to do the walking that I was enjoying. Does anyone have any ideas for exercising that is ankle-friendly?:shrug:

Elaine - I hope the move went allright for you. I can't wait till your computer is hooked up again so we can hear how things are with you.

Goofygrl - Congrats on the loss (for you and your daughter)!! I think it's great that you're helping her with her weightloss. I've been dieting since I was 12 and I used to get advise from my "friends" instead of my mom (or anyone else who may have had a clue). That's how I got the great idea for the diet where I only ate on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. And it's great that you're still enjoying your new job. I wish you continued sucess!!:goodvibes

TryinAgain - Enjoy your time while your 3 are out with their Dad. I'm sure you miss them, but it'll be great to take the time to do something that you don't have the time for when you're in the midst of motherhood.

Cjlafaye - I hear you on the porch getaway. My husband and I couldn't afford a vacation one time so we made Pina Coladas, put on our beachwear and said that we were in Hawaii. It was fun because we did everything we could to convince each other that we were really gone and made a fun day out of it. Sometimes all you need is a little imagination.

Well, the IT guys came and took my computer away today. I'm hoping to get it back soon....

Hello?????????????
 

Well this past week has been crazy for me. I think the last post of mine was like a week ago. I can't sign on at work and write you all there as I am totally bombarded with work. When I get home I am doing the home duties. Anyway I am here now. Where is everyone at? Has everyone decided that having a support unit is not needed? Help me to understand. Granted I know we all have lives but we had lives when we started this thread too. I don't mean to come across as a ***** or anything, I just hope this thread continues if not I truly understand and wish everyone out there great success, luck, determination, and mostly importantly motivation. Enough of my lecture and *****iness. I want everyone out there who is listening to know that I have truly been inspired by the comments left for me and others. Like I said I hope the support continues. GOOD LUCK!!! :hug: :carrot: :)

I`m here!
 

Hey guys! i`m here .. just busy with my gurliez.. with the summer and all.. i have managed to lose 21 pounds..woohoo..lol I hope you are all doing great! drink up ya water! i have been taking my lil one to the gym with me 5 days-a week -M-F- i go to ladies workout express..well i`m off to eat my slimfast bar..lol ..smoochez all around!
m.a.r.y.a.n.n

I'm still hanging on, too! I'm in kind of a weight loss plateau right now, but at least I'm not gaining weight so I'll take it. My ankle is feeling better so I'm starting to be able to walk to and from the bus again. That'll help I'm sure. I never thought I would say it, but I've missed the exercise since I haven't been able to walk. Maybe getting back into it will motivate me to try even more.:carrot: And I got a part-time job working at the nursery at my church. It's not going to be much, maybe a couple hours a week; but the main benefit is that I'll get to meet mothers with small children in my community. I'm really excited!! :D
Well, I hope everyone is doing fine and drinking plenty of water.
Moodymom - Congratulations on the weight loss!! :cheer: 21 pounds!!! :cp: That's amazing! Here's some happy dances for you :dance: :dancer:

HELLO ALL MY SISTA'S:hug:

I KNOW I HAVE BEEN OUT OF ORDER FOR NOT CHECKING IN!!! HOW IS EVERYBODY. I HOPE EVERYONE IS STILL HANGING IN THERE. I AM STILL DOING MY TJ AND STILL IN THE FIGHT.

HOLLA BACK MY SISTA'S!!

I've been checking to see if our thread still has any life in it. I'm glad to see you, cjlafaye! Good to hear you're still in the fight. I weighed today and was down 2 more pounds!! Things are going slowly, but at least they're going.
To everyone who thinks this thread is dead - just post!! It won't take much and we'll be back strong. I'm sure of it!!

Its hot :flame: Hot :flame: HOT :flame:! Drinking the water should be a lot easier - it's also a health safety issue, not just weight loss.
Who was doing the pole dancing exercise classes? I havent seen them around here and wonder how it's going. Got to be fun!

I'm back
 

Who all has tried Atkins before. We are having a weight loss contest at work. I decided I was going to give Atkins a try since I've done everything else and nothing seems to work, I am on my 2nd day. I'll keep you all posted. My weight is at 193.5 nothing major still high though, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will work. Anyway I am heading off to bed right now, I am totally tired. Take care.

I've never tried Atkins before. In fact, I've found that "diets" don't really work for me because once I finish my "diet" I go right back to where I was (usually plus some). I read a story in the Goals section that was very inspiring and thought provoking. It's the story of Glory87, and I most enjoyed the section on "Weight loss attempts - Why dieting made me fat". You might want to check it out. http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84601
Good luck with your contest at work. How is it structured? What's the incentive? Are there lots of people involved? It's great that you have people at work that you can team up with.
That got me thinking, I wonder how Amanda Mae is doing with her new job. Hopefully she's really happy and finding her niche.
Good luck to everyone :hug:

Happy Weekend
 

Hope everyone is doing o.k. This weekend in TN it is TAX FREE WEEKEND on school clothes and supplies so I have been out and about getting stuff for my daughter. I am going strong on the Atkins diet. I have lost 5.5 lbs since this past Monday and I am feeling good. Hope everyone is doing good, wish we saw a little more postings, I am sure everyone is still out there. Take care and I'll write back hopefully tomorrow.

:bravo: Congratulations on the 5.5 pound loss, Goofgrl!!! That's awesome!!:encore: Atkins is pretty popular and it sounds like it's working great for you. Way to go!!
My father in law had his 60th birthday party yesterday. We had a good time, but got back pretty late. This morning I had a heck of a time getting out of bed so no time for a Monday morning weigh-in. I'll try to check tomorrow morning and see what this week's progress is. I'm feeling pretty confident though. The shorts that I bought on vacation at the end of June are feeling looser than they did when I bought them.:D
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last bit of summer. :hug: :goodvibes

4thefuture, You might enjoy a new thread called intuitive eating. Just search those words and you'll find it. We're all really tired of diets, too. Come on over. Carol

Hi Everybody (or anybody)! I just wanted to check in before the weekend. I did weigh myself Tuesday and was down 1 more pound. Not much, but I'll take it! I'm thinking that my body is probably used to the bus stop walking now so I need to work something else into the plan. As usual, I'll probably think about it for a few weeks before I actually do anything...But now I'm wondering, does thinking hard about something burn calories? Just a thought.

4the future,

I hear you in regards to the whole thinking about it and hoping the weight will come off. I get telling myself I need to do more with the hopes that poof it'll fall off on its own after reading my mind. Glad to hear you are walking and having success on your weight loss. Good job on the loss. I myself am taking another stab at my diet plan. I started doing Atkins, I did about 2 weeks of eating the whole meat thing and was getting caught in a whirlwind because needing a change. I decided to attempt my WW again. It is a plan I very familiar with and have tried over 100 times, I am stretching the truth here but I have been on and off of it for awhile now. Anyway I am going to do it again with extra motivation to do my best. I lost some inches with Atkins and was excited with that. I thought if I incorporate Atkins with WW and limit the bread, pasta and potato intake I should see some results. I with coworkers after work for about 40 minutes but I need more exercise because the number on the scale is so still. Anyway I started the thread and have completely abandoned it during the summer but I would like to continue posting daily and corresponding with you. I need the motivation and I will give back 100%. Well I gotta head out. Hope you have a good day.

Regina

Hi Regina, I think it's a great idea to combine the Atkins with the WW. That way you can really personalize a plan that will work with you and your body. I think that's one of the major problem with diets - there is no "one size fits all". And if you can't find a diet that you can live with, it'll never work because eventually you'll have to come off of the diet and then you're back where you started. Good luck :goodluck: !! How's the challenge going at work? It sounds like you're working with a great group at your new job. They seem supportive in all aspects of your life (or maybe I'm reading too much into it because my new job isn't all that I thought it would be ;) ?)
Anyway, I really do hope that you (and others) come back to this thread. I know that I could use the motivation and this is a great group of girls. Good luck to everyone this week!!!:hug:

Well how was everyone's day? Here pretty good.

Hey Nicky you mentioned in earlier postings that you started a new job since you moved, what is it that you do? I am loving my new job, it gets hectic from time to time but it is totally better than what I was doing before. We walked today after work is was nice and warm. Then I came home to make dinner. We grilled out tonight. So how is your daughter doing Nicky? Does she attend Preschool? My daughter is on her last leg of Middle school. Hard to imagine she will be a freshman next year....I feel so old, I guess since my B'day is coming up. Well I hope you had a good evening and will talk soon. Take care and drink you water.

Oh a walk and then a cook-out. That sounds fabulous!
To answer your question, I provide technical assistance for medical research. Right now I'm working in a labratory that deals with cardiovascular research. Some of the diseases we're working on are diabetes, sickle cell, and atherosclerosis. My previous job dealt with neurological diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons so I have a lot to learn with this new job. But that's one of the fun things about my job is that I'm always learning something new. After all, that's the point of research...
My daughter is doing great, thanks for asking. She's a 4 year old bundle of energy. She goes to daycare and will for one more year before she starts kindergarten :eek: . It's hard to believe that school is right around the corner :dizzy:
Well, I have a ton of work to get to. I really haven't been drinking all the water that I should so I'm going to try to work on that some. My weigh in was up .5 pound, but I'm not going to change my ticker because it wasn't a full pound (Denial ain't just a river in Egypt!!). I'm going to focus on water and upping the exercise this week to make up for it. ;)

Hello to everyone out there. Like I mentioned earlier I stopped the Atkins and went WW/Atkins combined. Anyway my starting weight was 191.5 I am at 188.5. Down 3 lbs, I am not complaining. Our first weigh in at work is this Monday though it is on the honor system, we don't have to worry about actually stepping on the scale in front of everyone, though I don't care I know I am fluffy. Anyway I can see that I have lost some inches from doing the Atkins for a little while.

How is the water drinking going Nicky? Did you up your exercise and did you rid yourself of that stupid .50 though that really doesn't count you know that right. LOL! Any big plans for the weekend?

Hey Cassy I got your PM thanks. Are you still doingTJ? Miss you girl.

Well let me head out to work. I'll talk to you all later.

Congratulations Regina!!:encore: 3 pounds is quite an accomplishment! I actually decided not to weigh myself this week. Not really on purpose, I just noticed yesterday that it was Thursday and I still hadn't weighed myself so I decided to wait until next week. I just started a new medication with the wonderful side affect: May cause weight gain.:( Why do they do that!?

I am doing better on the water though. It's funny. I've noticed that when I'm not drinking my water, I never feel thirsty. But when I am drinking my water, I constantly feel parched. Is that normal?

Well, I hope everybody has a great weekend. I'm going to Richmond to my mother-in-law's house. I need to pick up some boxes and she's been hounding to see my daughter. I conveniently have something to do Sunday though so I won't be able to stay too long ;)

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to adjust the ticker after all. One pound up. I know it's my bodies reaction to my medication, but I'm going to have to work like heck to keep ahead of it. I'm going to go heavy into battle this week - no more allowances for food that I really shouldn't eat, more exercise (not just getting from here to there, but actually exercising), and (of course) lots of water. Hopefully, I can nip this in the bud. I'm going to see my Dr. today so I'll see if he has any suggestions above and beyond what I've already come up with. Well, I hope everybody is starting the week a little better than me.

Well don't fret on that one pound Nicky. I know you can do it. Keep up the positive attitude and you will do good, you have the desire and that is great. I am sure it is the meds but like you said you want to stay above it. Well my weekend was non stop just like yesterday. I hate being rushed or should I say feeling rushed. We had our first weigh in yesterday. Totally lost is 6 pounds. We have 3 ladies at 10 each in one month and all 3 are doing different things. One is Atkins, the other is low fat and the last is WW. Everyone is losing though. Next weigh in the 15th of this month. I gotta get cracking. Well let me go. Take it easy and keep on smiling.

Congratulations, Regina!! 6 pounds is amazing!! :carrot: You're office challenge sounds like it's going to be a tight race. I have been known to loose track of entire days, but I'm confused by your next weigh in. Do you mean the 15th of next month (September)? Please tell me that I haven't lost a week. :dizzy:

Anyway, I went to the doctor and he agrees with you. :) I need to let that pound go (or take it in depending on how you look at it) and chalk it up to adjustment. He liked my plan of action and thinks that as long as I stick with it I'll be able to stay one step ahead of the meds evil plan to pack weight on. OK I think I may be watching too many cartoons with my daughter. ;)

Well, I have a ton of work to do since I had to leave early for my appointment yesterday. Hope your day is not so rushed today!:hug:

The office race is going good, I did mess up on the date for next weigh in it is the 18th of Sept. I am hoping to get a little bit more off. This week is going to be hard as I have no energy right now as my "Grandma" is coming to town real soon. So how are you doing Nicky? Are you drinking all of your water, here I was when I was doing Atkins, now I drink problem about 5 glasses I need to push myself for the rest. Do you all have a Zaxby's where you live, if you do you need to try the Blue Salad....delicious. Well I am getting ready to head to work, not wanting to go today. Have a good day and stay motivated chick. Cassy where are you my buddy....miss you.

We don't have a Zaxby's here, but the Blue Salad reminds me of a time in childhood when my brother and I decided that we wanted to eat blue pancakes. It's funny, we just added food coloring so they tasted the same as regular pancakes, but the look of them was so disgusting that we were unable to eat them. I'm sure your salad is much better.
I took my daughter to see the Wiggles in Concert last night. She had a great time. I really enjoy seeing her so happy. Those are the times when it's fun to be a mom. She was still sleeping when I had to leave for work. I wish I could have been there when she got up so we could have talked about it. It would be funny to see what she remembers best about it.
Some days I drink all of my water and others I have trouble. My problem is mostly one of accessibility. I'm not allowed to drink where I work. It sounds weird, I know, but we can't ingest anything in the work area, even at my computer. So if I want to driink something I have to stop what I'm doing and walk to the break area. That's great for my exercise, but it means that I generally go thirsty and just wait till I'm going for lunch or to deliver something to another building and can drink on the way.
Do you have any plans for the weekend? We don't really have much going on. Just trying to keep the exercise up and the kid entertained.
Regina, Thank you for hanging on to this thread. It's really great to have support and someone to be accountable to. I really need it!! Have a great weekend!!

So you saw the Wiggles. I remember when my daughter was little and we use to take her to see Barney and Disney on Ice. She loved it. Now its concerts for her. My daughter has seen Hilary Duff and Avril. That was an adventure. So did she have a good time? I'm sure she did. How has your weekend been? Here pretty quiet. Yesterday I went grocery shopping. It was starting to look like old mother hubbard lived at my home. After that we came home had some lunch and I just chilled. I had a really bad headache all day so needless to say I was not happy at all plus my visiting Grandma doesn't help with the mood either. Today we are all going to the movies, we have a 99 cent movie theater here so I think we are going to see CLICK. Then home after that. I am roasting a chicken today, trying to do the Martha thing. So how is everything going in Virginia? Here is TN o.k we are planning an outing to OH next Saturday, me, my husband, sister-in-law and her kids plus our daughter are going to Kings Island for the weekend, amusement park. I'm so ready then my 36th Birthday creeps up after that, nice. Well I better close for now need to start getting dressed. Hope you have a good day?


Cassy- Where are you girl?
