Happy Thursday!
 

Well good morning, good morning! Boy did we ever have a thunder storm lastnight. Not that I'm scared of thunder..I'm scared of lightening! I've always had a fear of it hitting our house. My moms house was hit back when I was too small to remember and the stories of it terrified me. It went through her toilet, knocked her brothers knees together and they instantly swelled and shaved one side of another brothers head. Okay, okay...that one is funny! LOL!

Not much new going on with me in the "diet" zone. I'm still chasing that fairy fat mother around with a butterfly net. (Don't keel over laughing trying to invision that one!) I was able to pull myself outta bed again at 6:30 to do my walking, but I must admit it was a little harder. It's funny how that extra 1/2hr. becomes so desired at that point. :D

Cheryl, that must of been a laugh when you're pants took a trip to see your ankles! :D I can't wait to go shopping, especially because it will probably be a new size! I can fit into some 16's that are a big make. So I'm going to find all the "big make" 16's so I can say I'm wearing them! What makes me even more antsy is that I just got a card in the mail from a store I shop at (Additionelle) and they're offering me an early bird invitation to buy one get second one 50% off before they make it open to all customers. Apparently I'm valued or something! LOL! Yeah right...along with everyone else who got one in the mail today! LOL! Don't worry that half a pound of WWW will be flushed in no time flat!

Robbin, speaking as a proud Canadian...you haven't come accross the worst ones yet! LOL! If you were dealing with the far north, like in the territories and iniut areas I think you'd go crossed eyed! But I think we both have some weird, extensively spelled names in both our countries. I find that we have the same named towns, I live in Grande Prairie, Alberta and I heard on the news one night about a town in the states..Grande Prairie. I don't remember what state it was in though. I took french in school, started in gr. 3 till gr. 9..unfortunately a lot of it has left me now. It's mandatory here.

Michelle, I spent ten dollars yesterday to get an extreme car wash..you know the one with the wax and color enhancer. I didn't even get back out of the garage before we got poured on! What a waste. I never know when it's best to wash the car..seems like lately you can expect rain at any time. Like I said we had thunder storm last night and now the sun is peeking through the dismal clouds. You can't win for losing. But I'm glad someone is enjoying it! LOL! Yes, I used to do the same. Exercise after dropping Alyssa off at preschool..but now I seem to like getting it done and over with before I have to greet the rest of the day. It will sure make it easier when school is out..I agree. Then I don't have to wake up so early to do it. And yes, I am quite excited about the trip...only five more weeks! :D

Well all I guess I've rambled on long enough! Have a great day and I hope it's a good fat burning one!

TTFN!

Hey guys ~ just checking in quickly at lunch. The past two days, I've done good during day, but splurged at night. On Tues night, DH and I went to the Movie Tavern to see Xmen III ~ I had a beer, a blue frozen margarita, some cheddar bacon fries, and part of a hamburger (the whole patty, but part of a bun).

Then last night, was the girls' night at the mexican restaurant ~ I had THREE frozen margaritas, chicken fajitas (all of them), and 1/2 of a flan.

Today the scale is up two pounds, but I'm assuming it's from all the salt in the margaritas. I am back on track today, and don't foresee anymore outings until NEXT weekend, so I think I'm okay. Hoping that scale moves back down quickly, though!

On a side note, I've been VERY uptight lately. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is (no, not pms either), but it has to do with the twins demanding so much attention right now, not having enough time at home to get things done, etc. The dirty house is driving me CRAZY. I'm going to have the girls eat at my mom's tonight, while I come home & try to get my life back in order. Hopefully, with DH's help, we can get alot knocked out in very little time.

I will check back in tonight if I have time. I hope to go workout, but don't know if I will make it with everything else going on.

Got this in an email today and thought y'all might like it.

Well girlies, sorry I've been a little absent this week, busy with work and feeling a little under the weather. Also my computer said the site was down this morning, couldn't even get the home page to come up let alone get into anything else! Lots to catch up on so will try some quick personals but I appologize now if i miss anything! Will also forgo some of the frills i usually do, just for the sake of time. But please know my heart is frilly even if my typing is not!

Ryanmi Sorry to hear about the migraine, hope the booger is out of here soon!

Liza- glad to see you pop in and hear the enthusiasm in your post!

Robbin - chanting for ya girl! I can't imagine anything less than 250 so thinking about 230 just blows my mind! Can't wait to see you get there. I have managed to get out of jury duty by never registering to vote, although i have heard they are now doing it by drivers license instead.

Linda - love the recipie and the FFF glad to hear you finally got a little sun, even if it is gone again. also huge congrats on the loss!

Cheryl - glad to hear the puppy is on the mend and don't worry about the .5 gain, i am sure with all the mowing you have done it will be gone soon

Michelle - good job on letting go of the time frame, something i really struggle with too. We put so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves that way! Glad to hear you are having beautiful weather. Ours has been good, less humidity lots of sun!

Tina - I have always been a wake up and exercise kind of girl, if i don't i never do it and i sweat/stink too much to do it and then try to be around other human beings! congrats on the 2# loss and thanks for the pizza recipe i have got to try that one!

Well, all is relatively well here, weight is doing weird stuff so have decided will report only one time a week on actual losses, probably sunday or monday. Got good exercise today, 2 mile watp for abs this morning and then spent about 2 hours in the pool at the Y with the kids. Not as much true exercise for me as i would like but good none the less. Have been kind of run down lately but seem to be getting out of it so hopefully weight loss will follow! Hope ya'll have a wonderful evening and will try to check in in the AM!

I've messed up my postings so I'm giving up tonight. Also, my avatar has shrunk down AGAIN and I seem to be the only one having the problem and it's VERY frustrating. My other picture was the same size as this one, and it shrunk down, so I tried this one, and it's also smaller!

Ok I had a long post all typed up and when I hit post my computer messed up. I am so not in the mood to deal with this computer today.

Erin glad to see you, I missed you.

Michelle your avatar looks fine to me.

Ok short version of my post. Last night I got on the scales for some stupid reason but was doin the happy dance cause they said 239.4. My family thought I had lost my mind cause I was so excited. That was short lived. When I got on the scales this morning they were back up to 240.0. What a bummer. Oh well.

Check back later it is time to get to work.

Hello!!!
 

Hello Everyone,

I am new - just signed up about a week ago.
I am unable to chat now but look forward to it in the near future.

Have a great day and a nice weekend!!!:carrot:

Sorry I wasn't around yesterday and probably not much today either. I don't know where the Fairy Fat Mother is hiding out right now but boy do I every know where you can find the Migraine Monster-in-Law . . . haven't had one this bad in many, many months. We are caught in an extreme low and likely will be for a few days according to weather department.

Sorry, can't look at the screen any longer; but definitely wanted you to know I'm thinking of you, all. Here's a great big welcoming :hug: for you Success. See you all later. :carrot:

Hey all I just wanted to let you know that once again I am going to have a pretty busy weekend. I will be at my mothers for most of it. I will try to check in but do not think I have deserted if I dont. I will for sure be right back here as soon as I can. I can not keep going with out all of you.

Hi Gals!!
 

Michelle and Robbin...I also had a long post all typed out last night, and when I hit submit, it was gone. I was soooooo:mad: :tantrum:,I just said to heck with it, and went to bed.
Robbin...Hope you have a very nice and relaxing weekend with your family.
Michelle and Tina...Think you sent your wet weather my way. It has been raining since 3am with no let up. It's cold also, we are going to be in the low 40's tonight. I feel like turning the furance on, but I'll just add another quilt to the bed nd cuddle with Ozzy. Hubby has to work tonight.
Shawn...Glad to you hear you had a good time with your friends.
Linda...You poor dear:hug: I sure hope you are feeling better real soon. Migrains are so terrible to deal with.
Ryanmi...Glad to hear you are feeling so much better and getting lots of walking in.
:welcome: Success:welcome: Look forward to getting to know you better.
Erin,Liliann and Lois...Hope you have a teriffic, relaxing weekend.

Even though it has been pouring down rain all day, we had a car meeting/BBQ to go to tonight. Thank goodness they had reserve an inclosed shelter, so we stayed dried and a little warmer. I made the Rhubarb Peach Crisp for the BBQ, and it was soooo goood:drool: :hun: I will post the direction for it tomorrow.
I'm doing respite care for a 10 year old girl for the next 11 days. She is a real sweetheart, but she has been up since 5 am, so I'm pretty tired. Going to go and tuck her into bed and then myself. See you gals tomorrow.

Cheryl
