Hello all, The weekend is here. I have to take the cat to the vet and I hate doing that. He cries all the way there and back. I am also mean in that I am not happy paying vet bills for a cat other than yearly shots etc. Ok animal lovers don't throw anything at me. But I am taking him anyway. Tried to get hubby to take him but where he offered to take him was not the vets.
We went last night and looked at laptop or notebook computers as they are now called. They cost way more than I want to pay. I can get a really nice new desktop computer for what a new notebook costs. I may take a chance and buy a used one from the classifies. I don't need a notebook but I would just like to have one. Next year I plan on getting a new computer. Once I saave the money.
Well I need to get this day started. After looking forward to sleeping in I have been awake since 5. Life just isn't fair is it????

Hi everyone

Well, I'm back home. All my good intentions of being careful of what I ate went down the drain. I have gained several pounds. I didn't go to TOPS yesterday because I didn't want to face the scales. I really, really enjoyed being with my brother and sisters. But, they made peanut butter fudge, cheese cake, Italian cream cake,and bisquits for breakfast. You know the rest of the story.
Seeing the pictures of my sisters and I, we could also be called "three fat chicks."

Sherri.... Sorry about the weight gains. It is very discouraging, I've been there. I've stayed on a diet all week and it didn't show up on the scale. But I know that if I keep trying, it will eventually show a loss. Sometimes, it just doesn't seem worth all the effort that we put into it. But, if we keep trying, and the weight comes off and soon we can wear a size smaller, then we know that its worth the effort. So, keep trying, we're all pulling for you.

Eleni.... I know what you mean by taking the cat to the vet. I hate taking my two. DH has to go with me to help. One of them cries (screams) all the way there and back. Good thing the vet is less than 1 mile away.

Have a good day everyone.

Well I did it. I am using my laptop that I bought from a ad in the paper. It is so cool. I still have to figure out how to do some things but I am tickled to death with it. We looked at new ones and they were really expensive. This is a good one and I got a great bargain. A new toy to play with as my husband will say.
The cat was fine. What I thought might be some kind of sore wasw only matted hair. Cost me $40 for them to shave it off in about 2 minutes. I was wore out. He cried and talked the whole time. The big dogs in waiting room did not help. She said it was probably because he is so fat he can't reach there. SO now I have to get a brush and brush him goodn once a week. But I am glad it was just a hair ball. Gotta go
Nita Glad you had a good time

Eleni,

Glad that it wasn't anything serious with your cat. You are better then me I hate cats. Sorry cat lovers. I have a dog but she is outside. I think my feelings towards animals are like that because I am allergic to all animals and can't get close to them if I wanted to. I would love to be able to ride a horse some day but I know that is impossible. I am too allergic.
That is great that you have a laptop. I like the regular one better. My boss has a laptop and I can't figure it out. I can't see the screen to start with.LOL
No life isn't fair. I know a friend of mine would love to sleep in and gets up at 4 am everyday. And on weekends can never sleep past 6am or even 5 sometimes. I don't have that problem though I sleep in until 8 but not usually after that because of my daughter that is up and ready to go for the day.

Have a great weekend.

Nita,

Welcome back and I am glad you had a great time with your family. The important thing to remember is that you had a great time and it doesn't happen very often so enjoy it. Now that you are back you can get back down to business and start working on your plan again. You will lose the extra vacation weight in no time. Get back on track asap and you will be fine. You can do it. Thanks for the encouragement also. I need it.

As for me I am back on track today again. Doing great. I went to the buffet last night for my day off meal. But I am eating lower fat foods for the rest of the week and I exercised again today so I should see some kind of loss. I really think I was eating foods too high in fat to make a difference last week. Plus I am not going to go over 25 pts a day.

Have a great weekend everyone and I will talk with you soon.

Where is everyone?

Hello all, Back again. I am having a better weekend this weekend than last weekend. Last weekend we spent the whole weekend at the hospital with my son who is 4. His temp went from normal to 104.3 in 45 minutes. He had sevre pain on the right side. When we got to the ER his white cell count was 3400. Normal is 1100. They did other tests and they decided to take his appendix out. That was Friday night at 9:00 PM. He is fine now at home and running around like he never had surgury. But that is normal kids tend to recoperate quicker. This weekend is my step daughters birthday she will be 4. Not looking forward to the party tomorrow. She is living with us now since her mother went to jail. She is out now and we just kept the little girl here since her mother had no place to live. Well that is all for now. Take care all.
