I really hope he will sleep for awhile:^: :^: :^:,I could use the exercise! lol!

Keep smiling,

Wendy:hug:

Hey girls.....okay, so now I know why I wasn't getting any post updates....we are on chat #3!! duh!! hehe.....I thought, hmmm, it must be pretty quiet around here. I still have to catch up on all the pages, but Wendy....my goodness you sure are dealing with alot and a loser of a ex-dh, I can't blame you for you're stress.....just do you're best for Ryan's sake.

TOM is here for me, blech!!! Anyone want him? There is NO WAY I am weighing myself right now, 5 lb gain easy and what a way to act as a de-motivator!!! I'll pop by later....tc

Yep! He is a loser!!! To the extream!:D Not only is he a crack head but he steals all the time!!! I'm still trying to figure out how a person like me got involved with someone like him! And for almost 10 years! I must have been blind, deaf and stupid all at once! lol!!!! Not anymore though,I'm seeing things clearly, hearing alot of bad things about him and my years of stupidity went down the drain with the marriage! :D Hey my 3rd wedding anniversary is coming up on...Tuesday,I think I'm going to celebrate:D I'm hopeing it will be the last one!:^: :D

On a brighter note I'm at 5 points for exercise today!!! That's better...:)

Wendy

LOL I have thought about getting one of the huge ones but have no idea what to do with it and would probably kill myself trying!! :)

Mine are about 4" in diameter and are 3 pounds each (set of 2). But I like them soooooo much better than the regular hand weights!

Wendy, wow, no wonder you are battling the bingies with all you are going through! I am sorry for the mess you are in... know that I and all of us here care!!!

Thanks:)


I feel good today,heres hoping tomorrow is just as good,or better!



Cheers!
Wendy

Happy Thursday Ladies! Hope everyone is off to a wonderful start. I've got spinning class in a bit, and then later this afternoon that bike ride I tried to take yesterday should happen. Its supposed to get in the mid-high 60's!!!!! Happy spring even if it only lasts for a day or two. I'm cooking tonight. I'm going to try to make Mousakka but I'm going to use beef instead of lamb because its a bit healthier.

Wendy, angel-eyes and Misty-You guys rock with points yesterday!!! Keep it up!

Well, I'm gonna explore the board a bit before I leave for the gym.

Good morning, everyone!

Wendy, so glad you are feeling better... keep those spirits up up up!!!

Brandy I am envious of your spinning class LOL. I did that in Florida and it was fun and such a workout!! What is Mousakka?

Morning! :)

AngelEyes-I was wondering where you went?? But glad you found us!

Brandy-I hope you have fun on your bike ride. I can't even remember the last time I rode a bike!!!

Wendy-Glad your being a trooper and hangin in there!

Everyone is doing really good on points. Great job!!! We should all be very proud of ourselves.

It's a really nice day out so I can't wait to go on my lunchtime walk. Maybe later I will even get an hour of tennis in. I've yet to complete SI6 for 6 days straight, but I'm working really hard on it and I have completed 2 consecutive days. It ain't much but it's a start.

I will check in after lunch. hope you have a good day ladies.

It's so nice here. It's almost 65. I was outside doing yard work and now I'm sweating to death. That counts as a workout, right?!? I sure hope. Today is going to be a long day. I have an appoitment at 3 and another at 7. Yuck. But the one tonight is to see the dermatologist so my face will clear up. YEAH! Have a great day everyone.

Hi! Whoo, am I sore today! Makes me feel alive! lol!! Off for tea at mom ans dads and then I'm going to workout for awhile,as long as Ryan will let me!:) I'll check in later,
W.

Hi All
 

Whats going on not so bad here looks nice outside but will not step out there till 4 by then who knows. I have kickboxing tonight so thats great doing the The Firm - Ultimate Calorie Blaster - Today 1:10 that is a killer. I think I am picking up Pizza tonight maybe green peppers 2 slices and that's it. The kids and the honey can eat the rest.

Off to do a few things before I go to the gym

Morning!!:coffee:

How is everyone today? Can I say 2 words?..TOM....blech!!!This morning I went to the core cardio class.....me and a ball. Now thats a good mental image, but it was a good workout. Afterwards, they had a "power pump' class demo. They want to start a new session, and its an extra paid class, so they are trying to drum up business for it. Not sure if I want to pay MORE MONEY on top of my monthly fees.....but I'm aching and sore and to boot I've got TOM. So I think I'm done for the day after 2 hours!!!!

Well I just about have enough time for a quick shower and then run off to my tattoo appt. !!! So excited!!! I'm getting a pretty floral one on my shoulder. Hope you don't think I'm crazy :dizzy: or anything.....just something I've wanted for awhile. Hope everyone has a great day!!! Spring is finally here!!;)

ooooh pizza ***DROOL***:dizzy:


I love tattoos!! I have 4 myself! I'd love to see yours...!!
w.

AngelEyes-how fun for you!!! I have one tattoo and I can't wait to get my next one. Haven't decided what it is yet but I know I will get one when I drop all this weight.

Wendy-I wanna see yours too. I'll show you mine if you show me yours lol!!

I was bad for lunch. I didn't go for a walk. I went to lunch instead with my bf and split fries and a hamburger. But it's ok, nobody's perfect. One slipup won't hurt much!!!

Hey Gang-

Wow it is great to see everyone here and this thread is hoppin! Wish I could count that as exercise as I didn't do mine yesterday ::ugh:: but I ended up working till 9:30 on a project that was kicking my butt. I hopped on the scale and it was actually down a pound! If it stays off till tomorrow morning my official weigh-in then I am counting it :) OHHH PLEASE scale gods -- make it go down!!

I did good calorie-wise yesterday, and ate all healthy all day - yea. Hey that could be my montra, well except I have this dinner function again tonight. Although tonight's are all soups, various kinds. Any suggestions on ones that tend to be lower calorie?

Take care - and have a good day!

Sassy-Stay away from anything that is "cream of..." !!!

HI I am so getting a tattoo to thats my prize when I reach my goal weight. I can't wait I don't have any yet.

I am pooped that firm dvd kicks butt. Is it 4 yet I am so ready to get out of here hit the tanning salon for 10 minutes of relaxing pick up the kids pick up some pizza run a round and do what I have to do till I leave at 8 for kickboxing class. Is it 4 yet...LOL

Have a nice night girls just in case I don't post again tonight :D

LOL @ Cream = pure evil

I think I am going to go for veggie whatever ... at least there is *some* benefit.

UGH the cafe downstairs has gyro's today for lunch, they looked SOOOO good. I was almost tempted till I looked up calorie content in FitDay - it said over 600 calories for one of those. Odd thing is when you add up the ingrediants it comes out at 380'ish which sounds more right because we have frozen ones in the vending machine that is 280. Now 380 doesn't sound so evil - and considering I just did 20 minutes on the ellipical here at our gym, I think I would be okay. But no way in **** I am going to eat it if it really is 600+ calories.

Anyone know???

How old is to old for a tattoo? I was thinking about one on the small of my back but I was not sure....

My honey's mom just got a tattoo and she is 48 and I don't think thats old
and its a small one on her shoulder. I think it's cute I was even mad cuz she got one 1st....LOL

Sorry Sassy I stay away from Gyro's.....LOL

LOL!! Never to old for a tattoo!!!! My dad is 72 and he really wants one but mom said no way!! lol! They are to funny!

I think I'm doing this right??

Fun tats! I want one too :) Maybe some day ....

Okay I opted for the HUGE veggie salad and a bit of catalina dressing instead ... my body will thank me for this :)

You guys are awesome! I'm a little scared of needles (still cringe at my allergy shots every week) so no tattoos for me in the foreseeable future. I was able to get my belly ring back in by myself at the beginning of the month. It got a little painful when I was at my biggest, so it had been out for about 2 1/2 years. I'm loving having it back!

misty-mousakka is a middle eastern dish kinda like a lasagna but eggplant instead of noodles, middle eastern spices, and usually lamb (mine will be lean ground beef) Really good, but I've never tried to make one before. I might be in over my head LOL!!

Everyone seems so cheery in their posts today. I think spring fever has hit. My bike ride was WONDERFUL!!!! Such a pretty day and not much traffice. The only bad thing was the newly spread gravel on the dirt roads (a little over half my ride) made things a bit bumpy and harsh on my tush!!! It was still pretty fun.

Off to shower and see what I need to do in the kitchen. Wish me luck!!!

Ok did the belly ring hurt? I may do the tat thing If I make it to my goal...(fingers crossed)

I have my belly pierced too! I kept the ring in until I was 8 months preggers! then it started catching on things lol!!:D Unfortunatly I have some streach marks around it now,but I have the ring back in and the streach marks have faded so it doesn't look that horrible!:D My loser ex hated the belly ring! So I put it back in ASAP! What a B****! HEHEHEE! Not really,I just don't let other people tell me what to do with my own body!!:D

Yes it did hurt to get it done,for me anyway!:o I tell people that I would rather have 10 tattoos done at the same time than to do that again:) But most people say it doesn't hurt!!:cool:

Sassy: Good choice on that salad!! Catalina dressing...yum!

Brandy-Piercings hurt me more than my tattoo did!! But they're just not for everybody. Glad you had a good bike ride and good luck on that mousssaka. tell us how it went

Wendy-I like that one on your shoulder. I want to get one their myself. I'll try to post mine. Let's see if I am successful.

I don't think anyone is ever too old do any piercing, tattoooing, etc. hey, if it floats your boat and makes you feel good about yourself...then do it!!

You go girl...I am thinking this maybe something I want to do...not sure yet...

the first pic i took...my calf loooked way to big so I had to take it again!!! lol

Finally!!!

OK, mousakka is assembled and ready to go in the oven. More steps than most of what I choose to cook, but not terrible.

My bike ride was 8.25 miles!! I would have kept going, but needed to get some things done here at home, and the way it worked out, my new TurboJam dvd's arrived here shortly after I did and I couldn't resist trying one of them out!

My belly ring didn't hurt either time, but my nose ring was PAINFUL!!!! I actually had tears spring to my eyes when she did it! I couln't believe how much it hurt! Who knows, maybe between you guys and my sis, I'll get a tat someday.

Rosario and Wendy-Very cool! Rosario what is your symbol? It seems like I've seen it before, but can't place it. Wendy, I've made jewelry using the ankh?? from the center of your arm tat. Obviously I'm a fan.

I made that dish but just called it low-carb lasagna, cept no middle eastern spices - maybe that would have been better as mine turned out pretty blan.

Let us know how it turns out :)

wow....a very busy day!!! Everyone talking about tattoo's and such. Well I'm back......not sure how it turned out. My picture was a nice cluster of flowers with a group of butterflies. The colours were pinks, turquoise blue, teal green, and a plum. Nice huh? .....the picture showed a yellow butterfly and we talked about changing it to a pink because I DIDN'T LIKE YELLOW. So he says we are done, and I do check from time to time on the colour but its hard to peer down over your shoulder to the top of your arm without moving and getting too dizzy(out of focus) So I hold up the mirror.....and almost everything HAS A CENTER OF YELLOW!!! uh hello? he then says, he doesn't use much white in the centers as it doesn't last. uh hello? that would have been good to tell me BEFORE!!! So he changed as much as he could, and I do like it, but it really doesn't look like the picture AT ALL. I may go back for a touch up in a few days and see what's what. For all of you curious....it feels like many razor cuts while you're shaving your legs. If you can do 5 minutes, you can last for the duration. Mine today was 1.5 hours, but was longer because of the YELLOW SITUATION!!!:mad:

Wow sounds pretty though ... pictures!!!

I want a tatoo of a guitar on the back of my shoulder so bad. However, I pass-out when I have to get blood tests, so I don't see a tatoo in my future!

Sounds nice! Can't wait for it to heal enough to see some pics!!

That tat with the ankh is on my ankle,just a little higher up as most! I want to add a band around the bottem of it eventually, maybe my sons full name in calligraphy or something like that!

Well, I'm going to bed early tonight so I'll see ya all tomorrow!
W

Just a quickie before I'm off to bed.....
for those interested in seeing my tattoo design, its on tattoofinderdotcom and the artist is Terri Fox. The name of it is called "fragile purple butterfly" and is on pg 6 of the butterfly section. Not sure how long you would have to wait if I did a picture...hehe, I'm soooo computer illiterate. Anywho...lots to see on that site for sure. I've cleansed it and put the lubriderm on as reccommended so we'll see how I am in the morning. Night all.....

Very nice! I like it!:)

Angela~ I get like that sometimes too when blood is drawn lol!! It's different...hard to explain. I hate needles too EEK!

Morning all

angel-eyes-Like your design. Very nice. What a fun site to explore!

Dinner turned out pretty good last night! What a relief. I can't decide how I want to work out today. I kinda want to go to a friends class, but really would prefer to be done exercising before it starts, so I may just do some videos here. Rain is on the way so no bike ride today. Girls night tonight starts with a spa party. Never been to one before, but a friend started selling, so we're trying to help her get started. I will try to stay healthy, but am definetly having some wine. Well, off to explore

Have a great Friday!
