I had a horrible night with my back! I don't feel like I slept much at all. My younger DD's friend was here this past week from Maine visiting and we had so much fun. She has never been to the west coast, and we mainly did a lot of shopping, eating out and went to the beach one day. Now my DD flew back to Maine yesterday with her friend, and she will be there until this coming Sunday when she flies back home. I already miss her so much, but she has called me three times. Tomorrow night, my older DD, DH and I have tickets to the Tim and Faith concert here at the Rose Garden, and I'm so excited! I love both of them and it should be a great concert. Then on Thursday, my DH and I will be up at OHSU all day because my mom is having another surgery on her leg where her bone cancer was. I feel really bad for leaving all of you for awhile, and I did feel guilty about it, but I just had problems going on and wasn't in the mood to talk.
BEP -- I took a look at your pics and you have done so good! You are a very beautiful girlie!
SUZYQ -- Is your pic of Gaby? She is so cute and adorable!
Bep - I don't need to weigh. I know I am fat, chubby. I am having a good hair day though!
This calls for a return of the Maintenace Man!!!! Let us all drool over him. No hands though.........he is mine. lol
Hi Susan/NYC!! I go tomorrow to Seaside. I really want a bowl of chowder.
better get back to work.
EDITED for Michelle Yes, that was Gaby. Ain't she cute?? I love her so much. The MM is up now. I have had a crush on him for 3 years.....lol HUGS - hope you feel better!!!!
Good afternoon.
Bep- I don't know where to find your pictures. Help?
SuzyQ- I am not weighing today either. I weighed on the first for Suzanne, but have been bad. So I will wait until next Mon. and see if I can get things under control this week. Hey, I walk in place and dance all the time. (neighbor's surely don't peek in..they would think I was crazy.) DH just shakes his head.
Michelle- Good to see you again. I am glad that you are feeling better about things, just hope the back gets better quickly.
Not much going on with me. Just worrying about the two houses and trying to stay busy.
Sue - I thought Bep posted in the Mini Goals thread the pictures. You can click on her name and search in her post that she has written - that might be the easiest way.
Well, I did weigh and I am happy to say I am down 2 lbs.! WOOHOO!! Finally in ONEderland again! I have to say, it is about time I broke that plateau, if you will. Seems I was stuck forever going from 202 to 201, back and forth, ugh. Anywho...put me in a good mood!
I did make it to It Figures and I did a one mile walk on the treadmill, cleaned house and now getting my computer time in.
KATY...hugs to you and your family. I do hope there is something they can do for MIL's SO. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Your welcome for the paint info...can't wait to see your finished rooms! I think I too would wait for the good stuff.
MICHELLE...so good to see you back...missed you! I have been meaning to send you a card, you and Jules but haven't gotten around to it yet. My mind is on Josh 24/7 and I can't seem to think about much else-making myself a nervous wreck. Hope your DD and friend have a great time in Maine. I have a friend who lives in Corinna, ME...it is so pretty up there. Hope your back is better. Your new username is sooo cute-love it!
SUSAN...too bad about the MM...sounds like you guys have a great friendship. And you are NOT fat or chubby missy!
SUSAN/NYC...Glad you had a nice weekend. Hope the visit to the dentist goes well.
SUE...funny, I know my neighbors can't see in my house but when I exercise I always make sure everything is closed, lol. Of course there is no one behind us and the little old lady next door...I am sure wouldn't look in our windows even if she could.
BEP...I'll have to go check out the thread and your pics. The new avatar is nice.
Hi to everyone else, JULES,KATHY and SHAWNA Hope all is well with you ladies.
Take care ladies and hope you all are having a wonderful day!
Hi there! It's a BEAUTIFUL day out there!!!!!!!!!!
Guess what...I only lost a total of 4 lbs for the whole month of July. Bummer. Time to kick it up a notch!!!
I weighed in this morning and sure enough...still at 213. At least I didn't gain! I am going to have to fight myself this week because I have some family coming here on Wednesday for one night and then this weekend I have that big BBQ at my house. My biggest downfall is when I am with friends.
Christina I had meant to mention yesterday....HUGE congratulations on ONEderland!!! Oh man, I am jealous!!! Save a spot for me! I am determined to be there before the holidays get here! ... but earlier would, of course, be just fine with me!!!!
Thanks BEP & SUSAN/NYC! You ladies will be there soon too.
BEP...hey, 4 pounds for July is definitely better than what I did and so much better than no loss at all so to you! You are doing an awesome job and have come a long way!
SUSAN/NYC...have fun on your shopping spree! I can't remember the last time I went shopping, seems like it has been forever. And WTG on your running! You may have miscalculated but you did do it so that is good!
SHEL... was wondering where you were missy. Post when you get a chance.
Hi JULES,SUZYQ,KATY,MICHELLE,KATHY,SUE and SHAWNA! Hope all is well with you ladies.
Busy morning this morning...and man am I feeling it now. I want a nap! Got a later start than I wanted to though but all worked out. Getting a load of laundry done now and the house is clean so I feel good! Went for my walk at the park this morning...wasn't too hot when I went but the second time around I started sweating-did 3.5 miles, woohoo. Came home and mowed the front and back yards and then jumped in the shower...man, after that I needed a cold one...shower that is. Anyway...it feels good to get everything done early.
Bep- I did see the pictures and they were all good. There is a marked difference for sure. I am jealous! You are doing so well.
SuzyQ- Thanks for the link, I am not too familiar with this site other than the 2 or 3 places I post. I will have to nose around a bit more. Where are you anyway?
Sassy and Michelle- Glad to see you both and know that you are well.
Susan- Wah! I wanna go shopping...I need new shoes too. My wardrobe is a shame and I really need to buy some new things. Have fun!
Cristina- You are doing so well. I had to laugh about you mowing..DH told me that I can't mow while he is gone next week..the tractor won't start without a hassel. The funny thing is I have only used the tractor once in the last 28 years. LOL
I had a day of running errands and managed to get in a morning walk outdoors. Sure felt good with the humidity lower again. Eating is going great, so I am on a roll today. "fingers crossed" that it continues to be as easy. I am getting stressed about the houses and REFUSE to let that be my downfall. I am a big stress eater (used to smoke and not eat when I was stressed)
well another busy weekend here, we had no tax weekend here and people went wacko!! i went in at 5 am saturday to re stock shoes and didnt leave until 1 am sunday morning........finally got a day off today. needless to say i didnt make it to the gym last week, i havent ate too badly, and ive made sure to have a salad almost everyday. clothes are fitting the same so i think ill stay away from the scale this week. school starts friday so this weekend should be the last busy weekend for a while so ill have more energy to get back in to my routine. ok time to get eden to senior pictures........ahhhhhhhhhh never a dull moment.
hugs,
shawna

Wishing you guys the best in your weight loss!!
WHAT IN THE WORLD????? Our SuzyQ leaving us like that??? I demand a FULL explanation missy! ...and even after the explanation, you probably still will not be allowed to leave!
