Erin--I hope you have a wonderful time at your parent's house, and I really hope the drive goes smoothly and quick! Just have a fun time and don't worry about your weight!

Tracey--CONGRATS on 6 pounds gone this week! You are focused, back on track, and doing great! You should feel very proud of yourself!!!

Louie--Enjoy your relaxing time and being off! Do you have any kiddies or is it just you and DH?

Well I guess I've done enough complaining and the fairy fat mother couldn't take it anymore, she decided to take one more pound! I'm so grateful and a little relieved that I can still lose weight.

Linda, glad you didn't have a total meltdown. Being able to handle discouragements like that surely means that you got the gumpf to really stick with this. Yay!! You got great strength girl. Any plans this weekend?

Cheryl, I've been in the south China sea when I was in Malaysia. Totally different waters than what we have. It is so beautiful. Why were you in Japan for six months?

MichelleRae, I love the West Edmonton mall too. I used to live in Edmonton for about 10 yrs. till I moved north. Saved me some money...LOL! Good for you giving it another go on the bike. And congrats on getting your pergo flooring, you sound really excited. Yessssss, I'm so excited about my trip..hehee! (Doesn't matter if it were stupid or not, I'd still answer them! )

Michelle, thanks for the compliment. I hope the face cleanser is good too. Maybe it'll be so good that it will give me a mini lift or lipo!! hahaha!

Erin, have a fun, awesome, safe trip!! You'll definitely have a lot of time to unwind in the car...16 hrs! Sheesh! Better yet...hope your trip is without kids fighting, wining, and crying. LOL!

Tracey, congrats! Congrats! Congrats! Awesome news, I'm so happy for you!

Louie, what's your plans for Canada Day long weekend? I of course will be getting some more sun! Not intentionally though (too much sun isnt' good for you you know..LOL). We have a lot of outside activity planned on saturday. Thanks for the compliment.

It will be Canadas birthday tomorrow, I will be going to some fireworks at midnight tonight. My sister and parents are coming into town for the celebration. It's going to be a long day! At least I can face it one pound lighter than yesterday!

Talk later!

Sorry I am so late getting here today. I have been trying to get on here since last evening but my account had been suspended. They said it was because I had changed my email address but.....not that I know of. Oh well the reset my account and now everything is just fine. I just don't have time to do personals right now and might not till Saturday night or sunday morning. I will be checking back though.

Good news is I went down another .6 I am now 236.2. YAY Gonna change the ticker soon.

Hi gang . . . I'm almost human . . . still suffering from the heat and humidity and consequent lack of sleep . . . but I am eating fairly well . . . mainly because I don't have any of my favourite indulgences in the house and it's much too hot to go out. I refuse to get on the scale so don't know whether things are getting any better or (please no) any worse, but every time I look at my ankles, I get a pretty good idea that I'm still hanging on to www.

I am so far behind, I'm not going to try to rehash everything and hopefully will get back in sync from here on. Please forgive me.

Do want to say YIPPEE to everyone who has enjoyed either a scale or non-scale victory in the last couple of days. Way to go, chickies.

Hope your weekend is good and the weather is kind to you. Keep on moving and shaking and heading in the great downward direction. See you soon. Enjoy the fireworks no matter what side of the US/Canada border you are on.

Hi girls!!!

Sorry I'm so late getting here, it was my date night with Hubby! We went out and had an excellent meal I had a rib eye and stuffed mushrooms it and a glass of Woop Woop Shiraz wine from Australia, very good.

I'm sorry I'm not going to get personal only because I'm bout ready to pass out lol I'm full and tired lol.I'll be back tomorrow, just didn't want you to think I fell off the face of the earth

Have a wonderful evening!

Good morning ladies, just wanted to drop in and say a quick hello. Linda I am glad you are feeling better. MichelleRae sounds like you had a good time with hubby, I also went out for dinner, it was yummy. Ryanmi I love petuna's, they remind me of my Granny, she had a bunch of them planted around her house. Tina congrats on the 1 pound, don't forget to pass the fairy fat mother around. Michelle, Tracey, Louie, Erin, Lois and anyone else I might have forgot, hope you are all enjoying your holiday weekend.

Well the scales were the same this morning so I decided to change the ticker, and guess what I got another happy dancer. YAY

Well I better be off, I will check back as soon as possible.

Good Morning ! Just poured myself a cup of java and thought I better check in with the gals It is 6:30 and not sure why I am up so early on a Saturday; however, it seems that I have a well functioning internal alarm clock that wakes me up at 6:00 every morning !!!

The weather is still nice and sunny here, although it has cooled off a couple of degrees which makes it bearable for sleeping. I have been keeping the blinds closed during the day, so that also helps.

Not much on the radar today. Although it is the holiday and there are probably lots of activities going on around the city, I don't have any plans.

Robbin ~ congrats on the visit from the FFM and kudos to you for sticking with it when the scale wasn't moving.

MRae ~ date night.. how fun. Hubby and I try to get those in every now and then..but then again we don't have kids.. so good for you for finding the time !!

Meowee ~ glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better

Ryanmi ~ the flowers sound nice.. now you will really be able to enjoy that deck. Tole painting is painting on wood..if you google Jamie Mills-Price (she is one of my favorite designers) you will get a better idea of what I am talking about. That is the only craft that I do.. although I do have a knack for crafting.. cooking on the other hand .. BLEECH.. Hubby does all the cooking in this house !!

Tina ~ The FFM has been busy visiting both you and Robbin this week.. congratulations !! As mentioned, at this time I have no plans for today, I will just see what comes up. Hope you enjoy your Canada Day activities and don't get too much sun

Michelle ~ thanks, I am certainly trying to take advantage of my time off. As for kids, no it is just hubby and I... and the dog.

Cheryl, Erin, Tricia, Liza, TeaHoney, Lois, Shawn ~ have a great weekend !!!

Well I am off to see what the day brings.. enjoy !!

Oh WOW . . . what a difference a day makes . . . actually only half a day. It is still about the same temperature (mid 20'sC/low 80'sF) but the humidity has dropped from high 80's (this morning) to mid 50's (at 3:30 pm) and what a fantastic difference it makes. Now if this will just continue until mid-week, maybe, maybe I can drop this www by wwi. I don't ask for miracles, just a return to normalcy will do nicely.

Anyway, we couldn't ask for a nicer Canada Day here on the east coast. Hope you are having a great one, too, Tina and Louie. For the rest of you (well, most of the rest of you -- Michelle, Cheryl, Erin, Tricia, Tracey, Shawn, Robbin, MRae, Ryanmi, Lois -- anybody else I may have missed?), hope your long weekend is great also, although it isn't officially the fourth until Tuesday. For Robsia and Liza (wherever you are hiding) is this any kind of special weekend in the UK?

Anyway, off I go to get some moving and shaking done. Keep doing the good stuff, everybody. See you soon.

OKAY GANG . . . HERE WE GO . . . OUR NEW 'SUMMER PLACE' . . .
