Just lurking....

I love your day names!!! I'm gonna join you in Tone Up Thursday - I've been out for a run at lunch and I've got 2 kickboxing classes tonight - that enough toning? Although I suppose a weights session would be better for toning, but whotcha gonna do? Can't wait to hear Friday's name!!!

Welcome 2 frustrated! You are free to post anytime you would like.
Our very own Miss Suzy Q came up with the naming of the days...pretty neat if you ask me! I think we should continue, it seems to motivate the group a little more. Looking forward to her ideas for Friday, Saturday & Sunday!
Sounds like you will get in enough toning for the day with your classes tonight. Again, feel free to come here when ever you want motivation our a light chuckle.

Debi, post a pic of the bathroom when your finished please. Sounds HEAVENLY!

Shelley, I agree with Suzy. Your food choices sound OK other then maybe the salad is the culprit in tearing your tummy up. How about cooked veggies? If you continue to have problems, maybe you need to see the doc. It could be something more serious.

Off to clean turtles then tone....not sure what area of my body I will pick yet. Probably will just jump up and down a few times and see what jiggles the most.

Gayle the jiggler jester that juggles her job while joking around.

2 Frustrated enjoy our crazy little group. We could always use one more nutty one.

Thanks Suzy for being so creative. This is inspiring.

My brain needs more toning; I think that I will go spend some time at the library after a bike ride that will reduce the flapping of my legs.

Hey all! I'm still here. I had a rather frustrating day yesterday. Nothing to do with diets--just a lot of frustration. Then this morning, after having to fast for 14 hours, I went to the lab for blood tests and off to my yearly mammogram. What fun!

2frus--how long until the wedding?

I'm still on track for losing 4 pounds in September...can't seem to fit in any exercise, though. If I just didn't have this desk job......well, I guess I can't fire myself! LOL! I've now been 4 days sans wine. So far so good, but after that frustrating day yesterday, I did check out the liquor cabinet, but nothing looked good. Good thing I didn't have a bottle of cab in there!

Sigh. My butt kicking didn't last long enough. I'm suffering PMS mixed w/depression and eating everything that doesn't eat me 1st.

Stewart has been driving me nuts. He told me I was pathetic (strong word, IMO) on Monday because I didn't have his supper on the table when he got home--it was ready by the time he got out of the shower!!--and I didn't mow the yard (which didn't look that bad to me) or wash ALL of the laundry--I did four loads, including bed clothes.

So, I was SOOOOO GOOD yesterday! I went to class and did about an hour's worth of work in the library. Then I went to Sam's and bought food for him to take for lunch and to have for breakfast and snacks. Then I went home, washed all of the towels and underwear that had been thrown in the bathroom floor. Then I cleaned up and burned all the paper that had been piled on the table--you know, the credit card offers, empty envelopes where bills had been paid, etc., and burned the garbage. Then I picked up all of the stuff in my puppy's "chew pile" outside. Finally I cooked supper--sloppy joes and fried mushrooms.

Ok, by this point I was satisfied with my day. I did everything I had set out to do and the house and yard looked decent (oh, I mowed, too--even though I couldn't tell where the lawn mower had run except by the tire imprints). Stewart gets home. Do you even want to GUESS what the 1st words out of his mouth were????

"I thought you'd cook spaghetti or hamburger helper so I'd have something to carry for lunch tomorrow. I'm getting tired of sandwiches." Then he asked me where the french fries (as in cut up potatoes, not Orieda's) were. I told him he had four bags of chips and he got mad and said that those were for his lunch and I should have known better.

I want Doritos and french onion dip. And a couple of banquet pot pies. And something else. Anything else that's edible. Maybe some brownies and ice cream.

Really I want to cry and throw in the towel. How do you live with someone who you can never please? I wish I could afford to move out on my own. I'm just so unhappy with my marriage right now.

I know (I hope) things will eventually get better--they always do--but then they just seem to slump again.

Anyway, I'm sorry I didn't post to everyone. I've been reading the thread every day and keeping up, just don't really feel "in there." if you know what I mean. I should've posted yesterday before my day "blew up," but I was at school and actually in a working mode and didn't want to play around too much.

Love you all,
Cheryl

P.S.--good thing this is no longer "No Whine Wednesday"

I would go crazy if I had a DH like yours! I count my lucky stars because mine is not only non-criticizing, but he helps around the house. Y'all remember Bonanza on TV (okay, I'm aging myself here!), well they had a Chinese guy who worked for them, named Hop Sing. My DH refers to himself as Hop Sing because he's the guy who does the laundry at our house!

I do all the cooking, but I'll tell you, he's never complained about what I fix. Sure, I ask ahead of time what he'd like (from time to time), but most of the time I make the decisions. There have been a few meals that weren't the greatest, but still he didn't complain. Best of all, if I don't feel like cooking, he offers to take me out or order pizza. Gotta love it!

Cheryl-Is Stewart still drinking? He makes me so made when he treats you the way he does. Ya'll are still practically newlyweds. This is way too early in your marriage for things like this to happen, let alone happen at all. Please feel free to vent here anytime and feel free to email me if you want to "talk". I love you, girl!! Keep your chin up.

Cheryl ~ I'm sorry things are so difficult for you right now. I really don't have any advice for you, but do come here and vent as much as you need!

Gayle ~ "jump up and down a few times and see what jiggles the most"? You're too funny girl!

Allison ~ That's funny about calling your husband Hop Sing! Around here if something doesn't get done then we just joke that "Consuela" called in sick again.

Dee ~ How was the library and the bike ride?

2 Frustrated ~ There's always room for one more Floozie...welcome!

Are you all ready for Low Fat Friday? Tomorrow's goal is to pay attention to how much fat you are actually eating and try and to cut as much of it out of your diet tomorrow as you can. While you're at it, how about sharing a favorite low fat recipe with everyone?

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl sweetie, time for me to chime in. Do I need to come down there and kick some Stew butt? He is behaving like a child and I feel like you know it. You are too sweet of a person to put up with mental abuse and honesty, that is the game Stew is playing. He sounds just like my first hubby, nothing was ever good enough or everything was my fault. I want you to be happy sweetie, but maybe you should look into counseling or something because it seems like he continues to get worse. KNOW I am saying this because I WANT the BEST for YOU!

Ok, miss smarty pants, we are doing low fat Friday? YOUR ON! I will have the lowest, less fattest Friday of all and maybe even post a recipe...watcha think about that?

Hey, miss, Gotta name the days of the week! Check out my avatar! Are you saying drink the water???

LOL! HA! HA!!! LOL!!!!

Gayle-I love your avatar!

2Frustrated-Welcome aboard!

Suzy-I live low fat Friday, so I won't have a problem!!

Working daycare after work, so it will be a long day. Have a great day, everyone!

Happy Low Fat Friday Floozies!

Gayle ~ I noticed the new picture first thing and laughed right out loud! What a way to start the day. I don't know what I would do without my daily giggle from Gayle!

Shelley ~ I hope your day goes well! Once upon a time, I taught Pre-K and then ran the after school care program after classes. It does make for a very long day!

Low Fat Friday here I come!

Cheryl - sounds like you could do with some kickboxing lessons

Allison - The wedding's November 4th!!! Gotta shift these pounds!

HAPPY LOW FAT FRIDAY FLOOZIES!

I better go change my pic, it may be too offensive for some people. Glad it got a giggle though!

Gayle ~ The only thing that chickie was missing was her laptop...it was perfect! You're right though, some people might not see the humor.
