BTB Members Chat~Game 6!!
Hi everyone. Glad you found us!!!
Wendy-I hope you don't mind that I got this one started. :) I'm off to get this stickied. Be back in a bit!! |
Good morning!!
Where is everyone? I hope you guys aren't dropping out of the game already. And just when I put my game face on and am pumped up to get points. Just my luck!!! This weekend was pretty good. I didn't do too bad on eating, but no excercise. So I guess I was really lucky to be down 1 pound. right now, I'll take anything I can get. I got my new scale today. I can't wait to go home and try it. It's digital and it better not say a different number (unless it's lower of course). Hope everyone's weekend went well. Here's to a new week!!! |
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he!! yea!!!!
I need a good kick in the butt and this looks like it I have to go get my game card started!!!! Goal For the next 7 days I will get 10 to 14 points a day!!! I will be working hard on this!!!! |
Hey Guys, I am back and ready! I ate HORRIBLE AGAIN for like the last 5 days and NO RIDING MY BIKE! arrrgggggghhhh
One thing I did want to know, I am going to add all my points in for game 5 and I wanted to know if my 20+ hours of painting and cleaning counts as exercise? I don't think it would be fair to count it all but could I count at least some? |
Courtnie-When I do strenuous cleaning or orgainizing, I usually only count half the time I actually put in. Just to be fair. But that's just me!!
La3y-woo hoo!!! you can do it!! you go after your 10-14 points. I'm going to go after my 6 points (at least)....haha. Let's stay motivated!!! |
Rosario - that's what I was thinking, even half the time will be tons! And it was very strenuous cleaning and paiting. I got more done in 5 days then most people would get done in two weeks! haha
|
Hi all! I'm in for this game. I've just been soooooooo busy that I haven't had much time for updating. My sister's in town (came in Friday) and will be here until Sunday. So with that, work, and preparing to go take my GED tests, I'm dead tired. I've been trying to keep eating healthy, but some days it's really hard. Luckily, the deli at Walmart has some relatively healthy sandwiches that I've been buying. WHOLE WHEAT rolls with turkey, american cheese, and whole-leaf lettuce. With a bit of mustard, it's delicious.
Anywho, I'm off to see Pirates of the Caribbean. See you all later! |
Have a great time at the moviesssss.......
Is it time to go home yet? |

Hi gals, my connection hasn't been great today, so I'll be short and hopefully it'll post.
17 minute run=1.7 miles not speedy, but it was hot. Walked the remainder of the 4 mile loop. 1 hr 9 min. bike ride to my sis's and back = 15.25 miles Floated around the pool in new pool raft and read a book. Fell asleep and now I'm burnt to a crisp. Foolish I know. Lydia-How was PIRATES???????? Have a great evening. |
Brandy - sounds like you had a wonderful day!!!
My day has been great, I have my little puppy all picked out! Still over two weeks till I get her but I am still super excited! This next 20 days won't go fast enough! I am still at work tho :( I hope to get my fish moved into their new tank tonight but we shall see how that goes. The boyfriend and I also talked about going to see Pirates! We tried to go last night but there was this HUGE line up! argh |
Quote:
Pirates was awesome. Awesome indeed. I can't wait until the last one comes out! |
Morning!!
Brandy-thought we lost you there. hope you get that pesky connection working. your day yesterday sounded marvelous, dahling. What I wouldn't do to spend a day lazing around the pool :beach:. take care of that sunburn!! courtnie-i hate lines at the movies. i'd rather just wait for them to come out on video. sounds like you still got tons of work to do. hope your fishies like their new home. lydia-glad you liked the movie (i don't think I've even seen the first one, yet. i am way behind!!!) la3y-I see you didn't get any excercise points yesterday. me neither. but we did good on food. I say we make it our goal to get at least some excercise points today. You with me?? So yesterday I had this looong talk with my bf about losing weight. I was just getting frustrated because I am trying to eat less, but I just get so hungry and my head starts to hurt. And then I have no energy to work out when I get home. And I ate good all day yesterday, but when I got home I went on a mini binge of toast and cream cheese and mini muffins. So what my plan is today and I hope it works, is to eat 3 big meals and not think about being hungry or food at all. He told me it is all about self-discipline and he wants me to show him that I can control myself. He's seen me on one of my binges and he never wanted to say nothing because he didn't want to hurt my feelings. But I brought it up and he just told me what I had to do. I hope this new plan works for me. Wel, ladies, have a great day. catch up with you later!! |
Well I will not be walking...I hurt my foot. I dont know how. I will be doing some sit-ups and some leg and bunn workout. You would not belive what I had to do yesterday...Its safe to say I can blame it all on my DH. I came in cook supper and was about to go for a walk. When he told we had to take back some bad dip he bought. Well from there we went to the town he is from and I told that wile we where at his mothers(she lives in the next town over) house I was going to walk. Well he told me "What if we are not going to my mother house" and we did not. We had to go talk to his BF so from there we had to go to the camp ground. Where Amanda(my 9 year old) is going to camp next week. Then we went to his moms house for about 3mins. Then we went to see His cousins new horse. At that time it was 8:00. I still had time to go home and walk.....but NO! He had to talk till 9:00 Then went we where going home the man who lives next door to his aunt came back in and said that he had hit 2 deer with his truck.....Well from that we had to go look and then we had to pull it home. THEN the men had to stand around and talk about the truck(how to fix it) Talk about the deer( how bad they where messed up) Then talk about other people who hit deer(how bad they messed up their trucks or cars) Then we started to go home ( at 11:00) My DH back his truck in a hole that some dog made. Ok after 10 more mins of talking about that we went home.
And on the way home my DH had the bright thought to tell me about a guy that had put a inboard motor of a boat in a car!!!!!! Now I ask you ladies....Am I one of the GUYS or what. |
Sorry that got so long ladies. My bad!
|
Oh dear la3y that sounds horrible! haha
I got my fish moved that night and they look AMAZING!!! I can't believe the difference this new tank makes. It is so much bigger and I filled it with white sand, and it really brings out the colour of the fish... you know what, I will just show you some pictures! http://saltypickles.com/fish/fish-1.jpg http://saltypickles.com/fish/fish-2.jpg http://saltypickles.com/fish/fish-3.jpg The pics are kinda blurry but the tank just doesnt look anything like it when I turn the flash on! And here is the tank they were in before: http://saltypickles.com/fish/1.JPG http://saltypickles.com/fish/2.JPG The old tank was nice but I love the new one WAY MORE! I am going to set the old one back up in another room (that pic is it at the old house) and then I am going to plant it with real plants and throw it a bunch of neon tetra's (http://www.petfish.net/articles/pics/neon6dm.jpg)! And then I shouldnt have to look after it as much! I still need to get pics of the new house up.... Like I mentioned in another thread I went to costco last night and got myself a new shirt... a L!!!!! I couldn't belive it! AND this morning I got on the scale first thing and was down .2 of a pound, and that is 3.5 hours earlier then I normally weigh! yaaaah! OHHH and here is the puppy I am getting http://www.saltypickles.com/puppy/girl.jpg - it is a girl, any name ideas? |
courtnie-wow...you're fishes look sooo much better. and I love that wall color.
la3y-damn men!!! can't live with them, can't live without them!! ;) |
Hi everyone!:D Back early from the lake, but had a blast! Wishin' I was still there;)
Rosario~ Thanks for starting this game up!! Think you could take over till fall?? I'm so freakin busy or gone to the lake that I just don't seem to have the time that is deserved here, and we need someone that can and will be here on a regular basis...please??:hug: Well, to late in the day to check for weight so that will have to wait till tomorrow. Hope you all have a good sleep! G'night!! |
Good morning gals,
Yesterday was about as opposite from Monday as possibel. Lots of errands and little down time! At least I feel like I got lots accomplished. I missed my morning walk/run today. My neighbor had a rough night with some family problems so she couldn't go, and when I stuck my head out the door to let the dogs out, it was so humid that I crawled back into bed. I think maybe I'll bike in a bit. I have a softball game tonight and biking will be an easier combo than running. Courtney-Your soon to be puppy is fantastic!!!!!! I dont have any name suggestions, but I am definetly jealous! My dogs are wonderful, but rarely play like puppies anymore. Your house is beautiful as are your fish! You must be so happy with all the great changes you've made! Wendy-glad you had a nice camping trip. I'm a little bummed that we have no trips of our own scheduled due to time off from both our jobs, but its necessary so we can have the time for our Hawaii trip. Rosario-I know you can find the self control over your binges. Its not easy, but you are a strong person so it will happen. I still struggle almost daily over my eating. The only repreive for me is that my workout hours allow me to be a bit off when it comes to food intake and not result in horrid weight gain. Some days I do great, but then a day like yesterday comes along and I could not get full no matter what. Such a depressing day. La3y-Sounds like you're definetly ranked in the "one of the guys" categories! Don't you just love the different way men approach life?! Take care of that foot!!! Its no fun to be off your feet. Lydia-glad the movie was good. I cant wait to get to see it. We went to see Cars on Sunday with the whole family. It was a fun outing. Have a great day! |
A little better yesterday....I my foot is better today. I am going to walk more today. If it was not so dang hot around 1pm here I would walk after luch...I will start back walking again at work once the weather cools off....
I need to start getting up early and doing a workout DVD I have a few and I never use them... As for being one of the guys.....That is one of the reasons I am doing this...I dont want to be one of the guys.....if you know what I mean. |
Morning everybody!!!
Yesterday was almost so perfect, it was scary. I did soooo good on my eating!! The 3 big meals does help so much. Breakfast held me off until lunch and I just got a little bit hungry before dinner. But I worked out and it went away. I had urges to go home and binge, but I stopped myself. I did have 4 pieces of dark chocolate before bed and my boyfriend said he was disappointed, but 4 pieces is way better than the usual half a bar that I have. And because of my success yesterday, I feel great today!!! Wendy-sure I'll help you out. but i want you here back in the fall, ready to work. I know you'll be busy, but I hope your still playing the game and checking in. after all, this thread here is your little baby!! brandy-i didn't think it got so humid up north. huh. oooh, hawaiian vacation coming up!! when are you planning on going? good luck at the game tonite!! courtnie-the house is looking amazing. it must be so nice to have your own plce now. I'm happy for you!! la3y-i know what you mean about this heat. I used to go walking on my lunch but it has gotten so hot that i didn't like coming back to work all sweaty. It'll defintely be nice when it starts to get cooler here. Everybody have a great day!!!!! |
It will be here before you know it and them we will want the hotter weather...lol
I did good on my eating too. Glad to hear you did so good.....Great job! |
Morning ladies!!
Ryan and I had a sleep in this morning and now I'm fully exhausted:mad: Rosario~ Thanks, I appreciate the help!! I'll be starting school in the fall so between classes I'll be here! It's so hot here:D Better think of a good outdoor activity for today....... rather be at the lake where I can go swimming instead of sweating mines arse off LOL! Have a great day! |
Well, I braved the stickiness and just got back from a 13 mile ride. At least on the bike I'm moving fast enough that there is a breeze. I think I'll go sweep the pool out and then jump in!!
|
Thats the best time to jump in.....
Is it sad that tuna is the highlight of my day? |
I want to take a jump in a pool so bad!! Too bad the one at my complex is always filled with people and not the cleanest ones either! I definitely want to move out of this complex soon!!
I can't wait to go home. I'm so tired of being at work this week. I wish it were Friday already. But no such luck. 2 more days to go. Ishould of brought my work out gear so I could of gotten it in while I wait for the bf. Now I don't know if I'll have the discipline to get it in later. We'll just have to see. I hope your day's are going quicker than mine. Talk to ya soon. :wave: |
ArtsyGirl - I am very happy with everything that has been happening. Such a change from this time last year that's for sure.
Rosario - it is great to be on my own, I have been on my own now for 7 months but before we were in a basement suite with family living above us. How are those in-law's of yours? They completly gone yet? (that's who was living with you, wasn't in? I have a bad memory) |
coutnie-yes they left last weekend. that's why I've been doing so good on eating :) I just need them to get their stuff out of my closets so I can start organizing. That's whats going to keep me busy this weekend:closets and the spare room!!
|
Organizing is such a pain! I feel like that's all I have been doing... well it is. Every night this week I have had something else to do. Cleaning, Moving fish, some more cleaning tonight, still got more unpacking, laundry, argh! That's why I stopped exercising, I need all the rest I can get. And so far my body is loving it, the scale has been down two days in a row now, we shall see what tomorrow brings!
|
Morning ladies,
Happy Thursday all around. Our softball game was fun last night, but boy was it sticky!!! I actually slid into a base (usually I avoid doing that claiming I'm to old to slide) and now my whole shin is scraped up. It doesnt really look that bad, but boy it stings. I almost cried when I had to clean it out last night. I think I'm going to bike a bit today. I'm having some knee pain on the bike recently. It has to be my alignment is off, but I'm not sure where to fix it. I'm going to start with playing with my seat height today and see if that helps. Eating was so so yesterday, but considering my bottomless pit episode on Tuesday, I'm heading in the right direction again. Rosario-Hope you got your exercise in last night. Great job on the healthier eating!!!! Sorry that your complex pool isnt approachable. I love being able to cool off after a hard workout. The only problem I ever have had is our "new" neighbors had a party in their garage which is about even to our pool in the back yard, and I kept seeing the curtains on the window move so I knew I was being watched. Needless to say it creeped me out and I quickly went inside. Courtney-congrats on the loss!!!! Hope your organizing is going well. Moving is so much work. la3y-How ya doing?? Hope that foot is healed up. I do hope you found more excitement than tuna for the day! |
Hi everybody!!
Yesterday was an ok day for eating. I went a little crazy on snacks when I got home. But I don't think it was too bad (it could of been a lot worse!!) Eating 3 large meals is working out so much better for me. I think I found something that I can actually stick to. And the scale was down this morning!! i hope it stays down until Monday!! I only got 20 minutes of walking in yesterday. Today's plan is for lots of walking (have to wait for the bf to get out of work) and oh crap...I forgot my resisitance bands. Shoot!! Guess I'll just have to do more walking!! I'm trying to plan a little getaway weekend for me and thebf sometime in Sept (the hotels are so much cheaper then). I'm thinking Savannah/Tybee Island, Hilton Head Island, SC or maybe even, Panama CIty. Oh, I hope everything goes well and we are able to actually take a mini vacation. I need some beach time :beach: I haven't got a tan yet this summer!!! :( Brandy-uh oh. I think it's time for a higher wall, maybe. That would definitely be creeping me out. hope you straighten out your bike so your rides are more comfortable for you. Coutnie-yes moving can be a pain in the butt. I wanted to move to a new apt really soon, but just thinking about the move makes me hesitant. I guess I'll have to endure where I live for awhile longer. but just think, when youdo finish and you can finally enjoy your new space. that's gotta be rewarding. la3y-hope you did well last night and are ready to stick to it today!! Chat with ya later :wave: |
Quote:
I have never stayed in Savanna...I dont know of any place to stay....I would have to say that if you go take the time to go to Bay street.There are lots of shops to go into..... If you go to Hilton Head TAKE LOTS OF MONEY! I am sure you can fine some place that not that bad, but I just dont like it as much as Tybee.....I have been going there for along time..... By the way....Hello all! I did get in a hour of walking (whooohooo me ) and a 1/2 hour of swimming!!! I will have to get my hubby out of the house more! He was not home and me and the kids went to the park...they played and I walked....A good time was had by all.... Have a good day all! |
Morning ladies!!!
|
The scale was down AGAIN this morning, I don't know what is going on, but I like it!
As for the unpacking and organzing its going. Last night we went and emptied out our last place, the only thing left was my old fish tank so we got that out of there and cleaned up - so not we dont have to go back! I still have stuff to get but I am non-stop ***** when I am at home, soo stressed out, sick of cleaning and organzing things, picking up after my boyfriend. I haven't sat down and relaxed (other then that work) for over a week! I think tonight we are going to go a movie, but I think we are taking my boyfriend's cousin with us and I don't really want to, I want to go just me and him, but we told his cousin he could come cuz he helped us (well kinda) on the weekend instead of going to the movie with his mom. It will be nice to sit down tho and not have to worry about cleaning. I want to get that second tank set up and running so I can start playing with it but this one tank is enough work for now. I have to test it twice a day to make sure the water is okay for the fish. I think I am going to wait until it is all going good and then set up the older tank. Plus it is going to cost lots of $$$ to do it cuz I want to plant it with a bunch of real plants and those are expensive! Hope everyone is having a great day! |
:yawn: Sorry I haven't been chatty today.... I'm beat, going to bed soon,
G'night |
Well yet another good day yesterday..I am working hard on get my self together.....I will keep this up for the weekend.
I got to get a move on the water!!!! I got off to a slow start today. Got to run lots to do at work today! Talk to you all later! |
TGIF ladies!!
I am so happy it's Friday!! Yuck, last night was a gross food night for me. Okay, it wasn't really gross, it actually tasted really good but now I feel gross. I ate almost 3000 calories yesterday. yikes!!! and no workout. however, the scale was still down this morning. Ihope last night didn't do toomuch damage. Tonite we are going to MIL house for dinner. I know I shouldn't do too bad. She usually serves me huuuuge portions, but I'll just ask her to make it small. Nothing planned for this weekend. Organizing the house. We're supposed to go to a japanese restaurant tomorrow for dinner, but bf hasn't got his commission check, so I don't know if there will be any money to go out or anything. :( Bills suck!! Courtnie-did you get to go to the movies last night?? la3y-it's so much easier to work out when you are alone, right? I know I'm going to get some workouts in this weekend because the boyfriend works sat and sun!! Have a happy friday everyone!! |
Well I like it when he not around....My b-day is comeing up and he is all about telling me how old I will be....he want to put a old picture of me in the local paper...you know "lordy lordy look who's 40" grrrrrrrrrrr I dont want to see that. Or hear it! I think I am going to stop at 39....lol
|
Rosario - we did go to the movies, it was great!!! And you don't have to eat everything that your MIL puts on your plate!
