All is great here. The weather is really yucky though, snowing and sleeting. I thought winter would be over by now.

Angie, your back on track so thats what counts, you can weigh when you want. I am just still the queen of the scales and on them at least 6 x's a day. But they are showing a 2 lb loss after saying I stayed the same on Thursday, but can't officially change my stats till next thursday....oh well.

Noelle, please send some hot air, or at least some mild....we sure could use it.

Hi to all,
Sandy

Hi everyone, I hope all of you have been having a great weekend so far.
Well today was my sons first soccer game. They won 9-6, and my son was the one to score the first goal. :cp: This team is so much more fun than the others that he has been on. They actually get up and jump around with me. I was only able to get out today and walk for about a mile, before it got too windy and cold. At least I think it was about a mile, I lost my pedometer a while back and haven't gotten a new one yet, I guess that's something I should think about. Tomorrow though I won't be able to get out at all, I have to take my kids down to see their father and that's a 2 1/2 hour drive one way. :eek: I do have a treadmill, but it's just so awful walking on it and staring at an unfinished basement wall. But if I have to, I have to. Maybe I can stop at the library and pick up some books on tape or something. We have a weight machine also that is just collecting dust, I need to clean it off and start using that again also. :strong:

Noelle-Don't worry about calling me Ivy. I'm actually studying Aviation Science, I have got a degree in Avionics (which is actually my second) and I'm getting my third in aviation maintenance so I'll be rated and certified to work on all airplanes, electrical and mechanical. And Zumba fitness is kind of like latin dance moves. It's gotten real big in last 6 months or so, they have a web site where you can buy their exercize tapes, but I think it will be more fun in a group setting.

Angie & Sandy- How are you doing today?

Kempy- I hope you're having a great time at your party. Gosh I wish I lived near a beach.

Well I better get going, I need to get some stuff done tonight before the long drive tomorrow. Sorry I wrote a book, I'll try not to next time, it's just so nice to talk about other stuff other than Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and Barney. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!!!

Take Care!!!

*Jen*:balloons:

How is everyones weekend going? I overate some Blue Bunny fat free yogurt last night but hey at least it was fat free right? :lol: Other than that I am back on track totally and hoping to show a good loss this week. Fingers crossed. It sucks because of the cold and the snow I can't go walking so I have to do the elliptical and bike. I would so much rather be outside!

Gotta shower and go to work. Have a great day everyone!

Hi girls,

Well yesterday ended up being a bad day for me. My first bored to no end day, and I found my hands inside a box of cheese its, and I ate a bolonga/cheese sandwhich after I had already had my lunch, and a big bowl of popcorn.....rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...now I am so mad at myself. The scales were back up the 2 lbs I thought were gone, maybe it was the salt? I mean how the **** can you gain 2 lbs in 1 day with only a slip of what I did? I didnt eat the whole box only about 4 handfuls, I figure 2 servings or so, because on the box it says 32 are a serving. Oh I am being obsessive I know.....but this is my first real flub/stumble since I started January 23rd.

Noelle, I was just wondering why Hawaii does not do daylight savings time? I mean now I had to set the clock ahead an hour so how far apart does that make our time zones now? Its 11.19am here, so I am assuming that we were on a 4 hour differnce so it would be 7:19am there? Or now with the extra hour added maybe its only 6:19.....oh I am confussed. But the news did say that Hawaii, Alaska, and parts of Indiana and maybe there was one more state?

Angie, glad you had a good day yesterday and are back on track, you go girl.....

Jen, welcome again, and wow your plate is full with schooling like that. Good luck with it. Sounds like an awesome job.

kempy, how did the party go? Was that the one that the club puts on to promote the club and to try to drum up memberships? Hope the weather was good.

Hugs,
Sandy

I'm new here.. need some HELP!
 

Welcome newcomers Jen and i'm_just _ kim !

Up and down and back up and back down and so forth....
I know I've been there.

melekalikimaka -
Oh, please don't call me " the organized one":
Morgenstern's book was a great help to me, but I think perhaps "less chaotic/cluttered one" may be more appropriate.
There are always more little things/places I find to straighten up.

It's raining here today.
But it's not supposed to rain again for at least a week.
High tomorrow is 80 again, but Tues thru next Sat. the highs are in the upper 60's and 70's.

Good morning everyone. Welcome Kim :wave: . Glad you could join our group. Whatever kind of motivation or support you want just ask, we'll give it to you.

Last night I went to a candle party at my sister's house. It was potluck and my sister made a pot of thai chicken curry--suprisingly very tasty. I had some chocolate cake w/buttercreme frosting so I wasn't a complete angel w/the food, but I refuse to feel guilt.

Angie you're on track now, no looking back. At least it wasn't full fat BB. You're doing awesome lady.

Sandy, I agree those Cheese Its are evil! Though the scale shows a gain, it's most likely water retention from the salt--doesn't sound like you ate THAT much anyway. Get back on track, drink your water and the bloat will go away in a day or two. Trust me on this :D, I'm an "expert" on that happening :lol: . I really don't know why we don't observe daylight savings time but it's us, Arizona, Alaska and "parts of" Indiana that don't. The usual time difference between HI and the east coast where you are is 5 hours. DST would now put us at 6 hours apart. That means when you are having breakfast I'm fast asleep. When I'm eating breakfast, you're probably having lunch. When you're going home for the day, my day is only 1/2 over. Well, you get the picture. :lol:

Kemp how'd your party go? Which hot bod won the prize? Can we see pictures? :lol:

Jen congrats on your son's team win. Your degrees and skills are mighty impressive. Me, I can push a mean pencil and make a real effective collection call :lol:. You go girl.

Chris how are things w/you? Hope they're happy and stress-free.

Everyone else, have a wonderful Sunday. :flow2:

Sandy, I know exactly how you feel. I have been majorly bored lately too. This snow just makes me want to go over the edge!! I want to go outside!!! :lol: I always want to eat when I get bored. Don't beat yourself up about it. Noelle is right by tomorrow you will be right back to normal.

Hi Kim. I have lost alot of weight and gained it back and now I am here to lose it again too. I am doing pretty good thanks to these awesome girls. They give me all the support I need. We can all do this together.

Jen, I know what you mean about the Yu-gi-oh! :lol: My kids will actually scrape every penny they can to buy the cards every week. Luckily we have them on a saving kick and now they put it in their bank accounts. I think I know every Pokemon there is. haha

gargoyle, even with the rain I would gladly take your weather. I could still walk outside and people would think it is just the rain on me and not sweat. hehe

Kempy, Where are you?

Chris, How is the computer repair coming?

MissWashu, Are you still with us?

I gotta get back to work! I snuck in on a pee break. :lol:

Weird weather here in good old Southwestern PA:?:

Nevertheless, at least it isn't raining like it was yesterday, so it was effortless to get my one-mile walk in today before the race started, and I'll probably do another half-mile before going to bingo tonight. It got up to 74 degrees this past Friday; today it is not even 40 degrees...

HELLO, IT'S APRIL!!!!!!!!!:mad: :p

Hope you all remembered to turn your clocks up last night!:D

I am still alive but barely. :faint: :headache:

You guys have been busy here. I shouldn't have missed over the weekend.

Well, our party was a disaster. It rained and when I say rained I mean it POURED!!! We had already set up the tents and a hugh sign that one of the employees made which got ruined. The only people that showed up where employees so it turned out to kind of be an employee party. we had to BBQ the chicken b/c it hadn't been frozen yet so we had tons of it left over. I brought it home and froze it. We sat around and drank. Then after we left the party we went to my MIL & FIL house b/c my little sis was having a sweet 16 party so we were going to hang out with the parents. We ended up drinking yet again. I had to kick out some guy b/c he was 22 bringing drinks and giving me a hard time. How sad is that that you have to go to a 16 year olds party. So to make a long story short (to late), Joe and I sat on the sofa all day yesterday trying to recover. I was off plan all weekend and I am still having a tough time today. The time change has screwed me up b/c I am hungry b4 I am going to take lunch.

OK I think I have whinned enough for today. I promise that next post will be a happy one.

Sounds like a fun weekend Kempy. :lol:

We did nothing. I watched Jackass and Maid In Manhatten. I liked Jackass. I like Party boy. haha Maid in Manhatten was a chick flick.

I haven't been for a walk outside for too long. It is so cold. I don't think it is ever gonna warm up.

Good morning girls
 

Welcome Lori...glad you could drop in. It seems like those of us not getting snowed in are getting drowned in the rain :lol: .

Kempy sorry to hear about your beach party. I hate it when you plan for something and it goes south with the weather. That happened @ my son's b-day party last year. Thankfully a lot of people showed up but we were all huddled under a concrete pavilion roof with some tarps hung to keep the rain from blowing in. The kids were still having a blast in one of those jumping balloon inflatables, slipping and sliding around. At least you've got dinner for a few days...maybe weeks ;) .

Angie hang in there girl, the sun is bound to shine down on you guys eventually. Haven't seen either of the movies you mentioned yet. I think they were having some kind of J-Lo movie marathon on one of the cable channels yesterday--I don't know why :p

We did get to the water park this weekend instead of the beach. It's 15 minutes away by car from our house and it started to rain as we drove there. The sky cleared and we had a great time (suprisingly enough for me since I'm not a water person at all) . I even got to lay out in the sun a little and caught a few rays. Don't worry, I always wear SPF 50 and only laid out for like 15 minutes. A downpour started in the afternoon as we drove home so we had perfect timing. It's supposed to get up to 85 today but there's 95 percent humidity which means more rain is coming. At least the grass and trees are nice and green. :D

Anyway, I gotta get up off my butt and get my son to school and me to work. I'll check you guys out later. Have a great day.

OK enough is enough. It is really raining bad here now. I just got off of the weather channel and it looks like it is going to be this way for awhile. Members are calling to see if we have power b/c they don't and they are bored. The funny thing is, they still aren't coming to workout they just want to see if we have power.

Hey there girlies,

I think I have recovered from the box of cheese its....boy they need a warning on that box that says once you start you just cant stop:) anyway, the scale is being kind and think I will manage a loss this week come thursday:^: .

The weather sounds bad everywhere.....rrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Noelle, please please please send some nice clouds our way....

Hope everyone is having a good day other than the weather.
Sandy

Welcome Lori!

Kempy, Did you get the hail?

Noelle, Sounds like you had a nice weekend.

Sandy, I knew it was just water bloat. It happens all the time. I love Cheese its. The kids are now no longer allowed to buy them for a snack since me and Jay ate the last box. :lol:

I got a walk in this afternoon. My parents finally came over for a minute to meet Cappie(actually their car broke down and they needed help moving it but whatever....) I haven't seen them since Christmas. Now you know why an out of state move wouldn't make any difference.
