Good Morning girls,

Well I'm hoping to get alot of stuff done today. Hoping is the key word here. The weather is pretty sucky here today. It rained all last night which is okay but it's only supposed to be in the 60's cloudy and rainy. Yuck!!

I wish my store carried the Blue Bunny stuff. Well they have the regular ice cream, but not the low fat or fat free kind. I'm so jealous.

You guys are right, I know we'll all have a better time without her. Unfortunately she knows that and might go just to make it **** on everybody else. She's awfully bitter right now for some reason. Well I think I know why, but I won't bore you guys with all the right now.

They still haven't found the baby yet. I'm hoping soon. There haven't been any sightings of the van or anything so far. There has to be someone out there who knows something.

Kempy: Actually I don't do any weight training right now. I don't want to do it at the gym, there are too many guys there and I can't do that in front of them. I have a weight machine at home and one of my goals for the day is to get it cleaned off, so I can start using it. But I probobly won't start until I'm back from New Mexico.

Sandy: Hope I didn't offend you about the other thread. If I did I'm sorry.

Well I think that's long enough. You girls have a good day. Talk to you all later.

Sandy I am glad to hear that we didn't offend you. I totally agree with the fact that we need to keep positive. I do know some people on these threads that only post when something is wrong. I wonder if they are like that in person too.

Jen are the guys in your gym in some sort of wonderful shape or something? What I like about working here is that the people are so nice. No one makes fun of anyone b/c everyone is here with one common goal and that is to get healthy. I bet it is all in your head about them looking at you. Trust me from my experience in gyms guys are more interested in looking at themselves and checking out other guys. They have a bad habit of compairing themselves to other people (my hubby included) I am not trying to push you I just hope that you aren't ruling out weights b/c of some stupid ole' guys.

Actually the guys are in pretty good shape. And it's not all the guys that make me uncomfortable. It's the young ones. There are alot of high school kids and such that go there and it just makes me kind of nervous. I know I need to get over it. I have been thinking of maybe setting up a session with someone to get the low down on the machines, and make sure I'm using them right. Then maybe I won't feel so out of place. Wondering if what I'm doing is right. You know what I mean?

Well I better get going again. Talk to you all later.

Jen, I am the same way!! I want to lift so bad but our gym is only young guys and I dont want to go to a gym full of young guys. I am thinking about getting a cheap weightbench for here but I still dont know anything about lifting. :lol: I know I need to do something though.

Kempy, I stockpile the Blue Bunny. I had 3 containers in the freezer last night. haha. I almost ate 2 cones last night too. It tasted so good I didnt want to stop....Jay didnt stop at one though!! :lol:

Noelle, There is no justice in the world. My loser BIL got inspected today and passed!!! HOW??? His house is a dump and he is doing it in his actual kitchen. As far as I knew that was illegal and the ******* said the inspector was going to try to smooth things over with his Irving accounts. That jerk can get out of anything!! Can ya tell I hate him?!! :lol:

Anige I can't believe that! I hope those accounts realize what was going on b4 he trys to "smooth thing out". They should go with someone who is a good business person, you!

I just got on www.bluebunny.com and found some store in my area that sell it. Ther is one right around the corner from me. Who knew? I am hitting it this weekend. It is $1 more but it is worth it to me not to have to go to wal-mart.

Hey girls, I had 2 OP days in a row (just like you Sandy)...did we get "IT" back? I sure hope so--feels like it anyway. :dancer:

Hmmm, I can't stockpile cartons of any ice cream or ff yogurt--I'm the type that will eat it directly out of the darn carton. I do stock up on Healthy Choice low-fat chocolate fudge bars and TCBY vanilla/fruit swirl yogurt bars. I find that anything pre-packaged and single-serving sized I can manage with--no measuring required. Oh yes, mustn't forget Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches too--vanilla is much better than chocolate flavor though. Who knew?

Angie were you guys able to give the new account(s) a sample of your products? Even if your evil BIL trys to weasel his way back in, maybe they'll choose not to use him after they taste your superior products...you know, I'm sure it's happened before :lol: . Ugh, I know what you mean about not liking the in-laws though. How does Jay feel about him and what he's doing? My hubby would pretty much defend his brother no matter what I said so I try to avoid the whole subject matter entirely, I get too PO'd.

Kempy, thanks for sharing that pic of Chris w/us. SHe does look great! I emailed her and said hello and she sent a few other pics of her and her sister as well--both of them very striking, beautiful women. She's asking for your email address again though since she said she didn't save it in her address book...can you drop her a line?

Sandy your explanation of the other threads intent I understand. I wouldn't want people who only post when they have something to complain and whine about, yet do nothing to help themselves...well, you get the picture. Hey, it's all cool though right? Funny, when I have something to whine about (especially weight related), I tend to stay AWAY from the threads :lol: . I'm glad we're pretty much on an even keel here though, we're REAL ya know? And life has it's ups and downs.

Jen--family, love 'em or hate 'em, they're still family :rolleyes: , what can you do besides grin and bear it? I feel for you though, I do so wish you all can have a great time making memories, good or bad.

I just got done eating some Dannon Light & Fit creamy strawberry yogurt (100 cals) w/fresh strawberries :T . Yum, sooooo good, and only 10 cals more than the regular Light & Fit. I think the improved texture of the "creamy" variety is well worth that extra 10 cals. Ok, I need to get off here and get cracking on some work *sigh* . Is it lunch time yet?

Kempy, I just went to that websight and boy, they have some yummy sounding premium flavors. I have had the Peanut Butter Panic before and it is awesome!!!

Noelle, I hope they decide to honor their word and stick with us but BIL is such a weasel he can get out of anything. It is sickening. How can such a scummy waste get everything? I guess my wholesale distributor was talking with my MIL and said that he has delivered to businesses dirtier than his. YUCK now that makes me want to eat at home forever!! I am just so sick and tired of being upstanding and doing things right and watching that *** keep getting ahead. I'll let you all know what the woman says tomorrow. Jay hates him so it makes life easier for me. :lol: Jay is the youngest so he has grown up with all of his brothers treating him like **** so he pretty much cant stand any of them.

I cant wait for the fresh strawberries this year. I love to go picking them. They are so sweet and big.

Hey did you guys enter the Hawaiian Fantasy sweepstakes on the Blue Bunny website? They're giving away a family of 4 trip to Honolulu! Enter, you may be THE lucky winner :lol: . Wouldn't that be great? OK, I won't enter so that increases YOUR chances of winning...yeah, um, that and uh, well, I already live here, DUH.

I have got to head back to that site. I would love to win anything!

Noelle I have a problem with portion control too. I mean I ended up eating 2 cones last night. One was smaller than the other one though, does that count for anything? :lol:

Angie your strawberries havn't come out yet? Our season is around March. Talk about good! My brothers friend has a farm and he will usually sell them to us for $5 a flat. They usually sell for about $18.

Ours come out in July(I think). We picked so many last year that I had to freeze them. I could eat them until I am sick.

I tried to enter but after I signed up for the club and tried to access it it said there was no member with those credentials so I tried to get on with the email confirmation and that wouldn't work. I will try to enter every day. I would like to win something.

Man, looking at those flavors made me want ot go eat mine now. I think that was what went wrong last night. I ate it to early and then I was ready for more.

I need to start going through our stuff tonight. My MIL and I am having a garage sale on the 21st so I am going to see what I can actually get money for. I usually just give all of my stuff to good will. I think whatever I make I am going to put towards school. I am sure I wont make $5000, but every little bit will help.

Have you heard anything more on the financing from the school?

I love yard sales. I bought a crate for Candi a few weeks ago for $20.00. She likes it if you put hotdogs in it. But when I walk by the house on my first trip around I can hear her and Cappie in here barking. They spaz out when we let them out too.

I try to eat mine at 8 or 8:30 at night. I like to have something to eat while I am vegging out and it does seem to help. I have trouble not eating the whole thing on some nights though but hey at least it is fat free if I do. :lol: I find that I can usually overeat and get away with it for the most part if it is fat free but if it is fatty then I bloat up for a few days from one nights splurge.

The two places that I called said that the school has to be listed with them b4 they would lend me the money. When I go in to talk to the on the 14th I will ask her if she would be interested in doing that. That would be great for me if she did. Otherwise I am going to have to come up with plan B for the money. The problem is I don't have a plan B.

My sister is a yard sale lady too. I can never find anything good. My MIL lives in a ritzy neighborhood so maybe I can get away with pricing high and having poeple pay it. :devil:

Angie: I think the strawberries come out the end of June and the season goes for like 2 weeks maybe? Hope you get to keep your new accounts, did they sign anything with you, a contract or anything? Good luck.

Noelle: I'm gonna have to go to bluebunny site and enter that trip too.

Kempy: Good luck with the yard sale.

Room for 1 more?
 

Can I join this group? I have read the posts for the past few days and could use some of that motivation and support.
I have been trying to lose weight since Jan. 2002 and i am at a stand still right now, can't seem to get myself kickstarted again.
