The Verdict Is IN!!
 

Okay, so he came over last night and I got a peek at the package. He's definately bedroom material :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: What a relief! Now I have to find out over the next few weeks if he's boyfriend material. I enjoy his company though so we'll see where this goes.

Angie- So you seem like you're all good to go. You should be well on your way now. Hope the rain cleared for you.

Noelle- Slow down, Killer! Don't ruin your ankle, girlie. I know you want to be gun ho about this whole thing but take care of yourself.

CW- OOOoohh. Six Flaggs!! I love that place. Heard they got a new coaster there this season. Just one funnel cake for you, okay? Personally, I can't stand "carnival food" Never really appealed to me (thank goodness)

LT- What's the word on the gig at the zoo? Hope you get it. If all else fails there's a heck of a zoo at Noelle and Angie's houses.

J- I'm looking for you out there...

Kempy- Where you hiding today!


I'm feeling a little under the weather. I'm going to take a few shots of NYQuil and call it a night. Ciao!

Hi guys. In between paragraphs here trying to churn out yet another damn boring story, well, I'm not trying to turn out a boring story but that's the way it's looking. When you got little to start with, you end up with about the same...
anyhow, no time to read back on posts, but just felt like a distraction from the press release doldrums... :stress: I am dreaming of relaxing by doing something simple like lifting weights. God, I want a workout!

dips, what a relief, eh?!?! I think to save time, you should just line 'em up, tell 'em to strip down and do a check, kind of like a police lineup or what a modeling agency would do. No beating around the bush...ah...NO pun intended....anyhow, glad you get down to the business of finding out whether he's boyfriend material. Would I have such worries as you... :^:...and dips, you forgot MY zoo here with the four felines and the horse...well, she's not IN my room, but still you can go see her...makes me miss her just to think of it. How I would like to have her nearby. I suppose I should have my own barn with hired workers....gotta get rich first.

angie, the cat's eye is ok I guess. It's hard to tell as it just is...I mean, the eyeball is in the socket (sorry to gross anyone out) but there is no lens, so I guess it's like an open hole. Whether that is dangerous or not, I don't know. So far it seems to tear only a little and does not look infected or red. I wish I had a good vet to go to but I have no money and she hasn't even had any shots....oh well....at least she's alive...

Anyhow, back to work. I have to finish this, shower and get in to the office today and I don't feel good. Full moon boogie always screws around with me....big race tomorrow, gotta go to that....I just need sleep.

Hello to everyone else, Noelle and cal and jbbm and Kempy and anyone who has slipped the sieve. Ciao! Oh, that reminds me, I was in an Irish pub some weeks ago, met a woman from Switzerland whose English wasn't all that good. Me, being drunk, said to her she could speak German if she wanted. I used to sound like a native but haven't spoken in years and so the only way I do is if I'm drunk and the other person is not good in English. Anyhow, the words flowed and just yesterday I got an email routed through the newspaper from this woman saying if I wanted to get together for more German conversation she was still in Tokyo. Cool! A chance to speak the old lingo...now just to get drunk enough....ah, nothing like some delicious Weissbiers...I'll have to search out a German place, not the flat Irish and English stuff sold at this Irish joint, which is a very crazy place with live bands and wacko mix of Japanese and foreign customers....okay, blah, blah, blah, back to the work!! :drill:

Good Morning! I lost 6 pounds of bloat this week so that is encouraging and I have my meals all planned out for the next week so I should be good to go. Me,Alicia and Brit went walking last night....in the rain. :lol: It was actually nice to do and now I have no excuse just because it is raining!! :lol:

Noelle, I hope your ankle is feeling better this morning. Dont overdo it girl. You are my hero if that means anything. You keep me wanting to come back and try to lose this weight again with how awesome you have been doing this time around. I KNOW you will get to your goal!!

Dips,WOOHOO!!!! I am glad he didnt disappoint you. I hope you are feeling better today.

Red, I hope you and your new friend have a great time together. You deserve to have some fun, you have been working so hard.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Oh my god you guys I let the dogs out to go pee this morning and when I went to make them come back in(because Rebel has dug himself a little hole to go find daddy) I kept trying to get Rebel in and must have missed Puddin sneek out. (She is NOT allowed outside) So anywho Reb comes in and I am on the puter when I hear Puddin squeek(she sounds like a guineau pig) and couldnt figure out where she was. She was standing out on the deck in front of the sliders trying to get back in!!! I cant imagine if she had of wandered off, I wouldnt know where she was!! Phewww.

Me and Alicia got in a walk first thing this morning.

Hi guys, I'm off to sign up my kid for a summer program, then buy some new uniforms for next year since they have a sale going on. Exciting huh? Not! :lol: I tried my best to stay OP yesterday, didn't get breakfast going til about 11 so I had a grilled chix salad from McD's, then I went to a "tea party" at the school where they had a Mother's Day program and all kinds of junk food. I had a small turkey finger sandwich, a chocolate covered brownie and some cheetos :rolleyes:... and the only thing they had to drink was this ice cream sherbet/guava juice/soda concoction which was LOADED with sugar but tasted good--I only had half a glass.....but then I think all that sugar triggered me. We went out to dinner at a hamburger joint, which was great....ate my fries then an ice cream dessert. Burp! But I am trying again today *sigh* I have got to get my butt weighed in again at WW so I can guilt myself into staying OP. Make me go on Tuesday guys OK? I won't be surprised if I put on 5 lbs over the last 2 weeks. What a pig I've been. Oh well, no more pity party for me, just suck it up and soldier on. :running:

Angie, GREAT JOB on those 6 lbs!!! If I don't watch out, you're gonna catch me up and then pass me. ;) Seriously, you are back on it girl. I'm glad your pup (and your pep!) came back without any problems.

Hey Red :D. That is a neat story about meeting that Swiss woman at the bar. Danke schoen is about all I know in German :rolleyes: Have fun at the race!

So Dips, I take it your new man is more than a handful huh? :devil: :lol: I hope you got some rest, Nyquil always does the trick for me. :faint:

Yo Kempy! How's it going? Do you still have the cute yellow pup?

Hey Julie, Cal, Maggzs, cw, Cherie....and everyone, have a great weekend.

Good Morning!! Well, I didnt get in my second walk and I ended up eating my supper after 7:30 yesterday but I have a good reason for that. My BIL and SIL came up from New Hampshire and visited with us for a while. My SIL had Gastric Bypass in February and she has already lost 80 Pounds!!WOW! She didnt have any complications from it so she is a very happy customer. She said she would do it all again in a heartbeat. I think she said she wants to lose another 80.

I am going to jump in the shower and try to get Alicia up to do 2 walks this morning and then do one before dark to make up for the one I lost yesterday.

Noelle, How did you do eating wise yesterday? Here :dust: I hope this helps you.

:cp: :running: :running: :running: :cheer: YEAH!! Me and Alicia got in a double walk this morning so now all we need is to get in one more before bed and we didnt miss any this weekend. :lol: :carrot:

Woo-Hoo Angie, you are smokin' hot! Great job girl. I bet seeing your SIL slim down so quick gave you more motivation to lose the "old fashion way" (why is it called that? I think it should be called the normal way :lol: ) huh? You know, I wonder how many pounds overweight do you have to be to get approved for gastric bypass? Or is it based primarily on if your health is really adversely affected by the excess weight.... :chin: I would be so scared of getting it done, then having to limit myself so severely on the eating afterward--but I guess if my life depended on it, I could do it.

My eating wasn't too bad yesterday, let's see... some kashi cereal w/lt. soy milke for breakfast, some fresh ramen noodles + veggies for lunch and a subway sub club for dinner. THat aside from a couple of sugar free chocolates, I was pretty darn good. Not much exercise other than walking the mall for a couple of hours looking for a mother's day gift and a b-day gift for my sis. We shall see how today goes. I just got out of bed :yawn: I am going to open my gift from Rick and Michael soon....I wonder what it is???

Oh, and by the way, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you mothers. Even if you have no human children, you are great mothers to all your furry pet friends and you should be celebrated too! :grouphug:

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

You know I totally forgot today was Mothers Day. The kids(meaning Jay :lol: ) gave me a bouquet yesterday. So this morning I totally forgot. :lol: I hope you ALL have a great day today.

Noelle, I am not sure how much you have to weigh to get approved for it but she couldnt have been much heavier than me. I am too scared to do it too, but it is working wonders for her. What did you get? :gift:

Well, I did it!! I said I was going to walk 3 times today and I did it.

Ok, so we get new people and I vanish. Sorry. I don't know what my problem is. I have just been staying away from the puter. I don't know why either. I am heading out of the door to go to work for a few hours but I will be back later. I promise when I get home I am going to read everything I missed and get back to business. I have been slacking over the weekend on WW too so I need you guys for support. I knew I should have never been away this long. You guys help me with everything and now is the time to get back on track. Be back later. :wave:

Hi Kempy. :wave: How have you guys been?

I got in my first walk first thing this morning so now just one more and I am done for the day. I didnt have any bread here for lunch and Jay is working at his Moms so I made a tuna salad roll on a tortilla. It was pretty good but I want my bread back. :lol:

that is about it so far today. I will be back later.

Hello ladies! Just a quick little post to let ya'll know I am still alive. I had an awful weekend. Will come and post about it later... Have lots to get done today, and I'm not moving so good! :(

Hey LT, I missed you. :wave: I hope you are doing a little bit better this afternoon. Cant wait to chat with ya!! :hug:

Hello everyone,

I've come to the conclusion that I'm way to old for Magic Mountain. The funnel cake wasn't as good as I remember, and it set me off on sugar binges over the weekend. Tomorrow is a new day, and this is a new week. I hope you all had a wonderful mothers day. Have a good day today.
