Well, now that I have finished cleaning the house it is raining again. I was going to go out and work on my pot plants. I guess not now.

Angie I can't beleive that happened. Your hopes are up and then they are down. I hope you get a response to the e-mail and also that Jay chews some butt! You are doing awesome girl! I forgot to do my measurements when I start but it was only a couple of weeks ago so I am going to do they tomorrow so I can keep track. I am still not really looking at myself in the mirror so I can't tell if there is any progress.

Neesh all of the power to ya this weekend. I hate packing and moving. If I can help it we wont be moving for a long while.

Sandy I don't even remember doing any kind of concert when I was little. We always had talent contests. I was never in thouse. I never could do anything.

Noelle can you mail the BBQ to me? I will gladly eat it. Although by the time I get it it might not be to good. :lol:

Angie, sorry that Irving is messing around with you all, hope all gets straigtened out soon.

Noelle, thanks for the happy weekend thoughts, yes so far my weekend is great. Hope yours is too.

Now for the funniest thing I read....

that is what Kempy wrote and I about peed my pants.:lol: :lol:

Hugs,

Too funny!!!:lol: I didnt catch that until you pointed it out.

I made it through not eating anything bad so far today. But the kids are doing smores tonight. I may eat some of that.

I wrote a letter to the manager saying how I felt about being yanked around repeatedly and I am going to fax it to her Monday. I figure this way it is a professional letter and everything gets said. I said in the future when you want to switch do not call me until you have made a definate decision and date when to start because it isnt fair to get my hopes up when they just go back to their unlicensed vendor anyway.

LMAO at the "pot plants"- I didn't notice it either, just pictured nice potted flowers :) Too funny...

Angie- that really sucks about those accounts, sounds like you are dealing with it really well though! I'm sure I would have eaten through my cupboards! The letter sounded good too...

Well, I don't quite have a grip on my eating, but it's coming...You guys are all great motivation to start again!!
We bought a new TV- our old one died and we just couldn't get it back. Thought we could get through the summer w/out-- re-runs and all, but I just cancelled my gym membership and bought the WAAP videos for when I can't get out for walks (sorry for the run-on :) ) SO broke down and spent the big bucks (had to get a bigger one y'know!)

Well, it's not so easy typing with a squirmy baby so I'll say good-night. Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Emily

Good Morning!!! I succumbd to the smores last night but that is okay because I ate clean and healthy all day so it isnt a bad thing.

I have 3 baby robins in a nest in my tree. So cute I go out and watch the mommy feed them during the day. My cat killed a chipmunk and put it under the tree. Hmmm, do you think they are trying to tell them something. :lol:

I fell in love with a dog at the shelter in Auburn. It is a silky terrier.

I love Bill Blass sizing. I can fit into a size 6 jean made by them and it is loose. A 4 would be perfect. That is the way to size jeans. Make them bigger and put a smaller size on them so the consumer feels good after trying them on. :lol: I found 2 pair at the good will store yesterday and grabbed them. I bought a ton of tops at Mardens(a discount outlet) now I have to go back and return some. They are tighter than I would like and one has a stain and one isnt stitched all the way. So Monday should be fun for me. But hey, after we left Jay was looking at the receipt and they never charged him for his Nikes. COOL!!! Free sneakers. Now I guess I can grab more tops next time. haha

Where is everybody? I am bored.

I ate 2 fat free ice cream cones last night. OUCH!! I have to be good this week because my neices birthday party is this Saturday and Jay wants to go to Pizza Hut for his birthday too. I dont want to be bloated up for that.

Today I will be a good girl even if I am eating supper out. Maybe Subway or maybe a KFC Tenderroast sandwich without sauce and a mashed potato. I have thought ahead so I should be able to stick to lowfat while I finish up my shopping.

:lol: :lol: :lol: ok sorry about the whole pot plant thing. That is my lazy southern thing coming out. It should have been potted plants but we say pot plants b/c we are to lzay to finish it. Kind of like the whole po'boy thing.

Angie I hope you get some sort of response from your letter. Are you going to talk with the health inspector too? I love smores we usually have them every year when we go to the camp for Thanksgiving. I could eat tons of them but I try to contain myself.

Emily I am so scared of when our tv eats it. We have a 55 inch right now and like you said you have to go bigger. I think you will do fine with the food. You just have to take everything slow. At least I know that I have to do it that with me.

I will check back in later when you guys have shown up.

I am having me,mom, dad and the twins birthday on June 28 which is my dads actual birthday. He turns 50!! I didnt realize it until I was in the shower this morning. So now I am off to find some over the hill stuff to surprise him with. hehe. I'll have to utilise my morning walk that morning and go get all the black balloons at the flower shop. Can you see me out walking around town with tons of black balloons. :lol: I am going to this awesome cake shop in Bangor tonight to try and pick out a good cake for him. Then I will have MIL make the ice cream cake for the twins. Know of any good over the hill party food? any ideas would be great. This weekend is Haley(my neice) birthday and my parents anniversary.

I'm here just really busy at work, but the boss left for a bit, so~~~ I could not control myself and had to pop online and come check things out. :lol:

Kempy: Don't be sorry.....I had a good chuckle...:lol: :lol:

Angie: 50th bday party....fun, fun....my mil gave my fil a box full of goodies like depends, preperation H, prunes and prune juice, so of those cheap magnifying glasses.....vitamins...etc...just have fun with it you know:lol: :lol: good luck.

Okay back to work...

Angie- I hear you on the birthday thing-- you've got more though! Mine is Wed. and my oldest's next Wed.-- with Father's Day inbetween. Too many treats (and not enough will-power on my part!) I've been craving a white store-bought cake with bavarian creme filling since March!! How gross is that?! DH will want cheesecake for his "special meal" (like I got one for Mother's Day- HA!) and my son an ice-cream cake... demons demons :devil:
How do you do it, Angie- being a baker?? I love to bake (and eat what I bake!) llast night it was rhubarb crisp. I know I just need to give some stuff up for awhile- at least until I can control my portions...

Well, I thought I would report my goals for the day and then report on them later...
Water!- at least 60 oz (baby steps!) I've already had 20
Workout- 1 mile WAATP video- too chilly to walk with the kids and that wouldn't really be a fitness walk anyway!
No fast food today!

Well, that's 3 and good for a start.
Have a great day everyone and I'll check back later.

Emily

Angie I like what Sandy said about the gag gifts. Those would be great. We are goiing to have a crawfish boil at our house for my birthday. I han't had a party since I was 9. I figured it was time to do it again.

Sandy when does all of the hub bub calm down over there. You sound so busy!

Emily I think you are doing great by taking baby steps. When you are trying to change your life that is what you have to do. Plus, if you try to aim to high it is easier to fall off of the wagon and never get back on.

I have been pretty busy here today. We got in two big orders and I have been busy trying to seperate them and get them in the computer and onto the shelves. I think I might leave the stocking for the girls tonight. I am just sitting herer right now letting my lunch digest. My plan is to workout at 2 today, lets see if the boss man screws it up today.

Alright guys, did you leave me? It is 4:30 here and I am trying to waste some time reading posts while I wait for the evening girls to get here. I was hoping that there would have been more going on on this thread.

Anyway, I forgot to tell you guys that they are filming a movie right down the street from me. It is wild how they changed up the entire street. One side is supposed to be Seattle and the other in Atlanta. Pretty neat how they can come in and do these dramatic changes and then pull it all down and have it look like nothing ever happened.

Hey Kempy, hope it's almost time for you to leave? I don't know if work will ever calm down? Who knows? I'm just along for the ride:lol: , it does make the day go by fast though.

Wow, a movie and the street looks different, that would be so neat to see. They had the Maine State quarter ceremony here today, I live like 15-20 minutes from where they did it, but kept clear, I can only imagine how busy it was.

Emily: Baby steps, thats the way to go, I try to remind myself of that too. No fast food, I got that licked, now if I could lick the no sweets/chips.

I did it!
 

Happy to report all goals met!! :D
Got my water in, no problemo~
no fast food
and a 15 minute walk! Have to tell you, this almost didn't happen...never had a chance to do the video, had a very busy day and baby wanted held...soccer, work stuff I had to get done.
Well, at 9:30 I told my husband I was going for a walk and DID IT! Now, if I hadn't made it a goal and told you guys I was doing it...I wouldn't have bothered. I'm so glad I did though!

Whoo-hoo for me :)
Well, it's late and time for bed.
Talk to you all tomorrow:)

Emily

Hi everyone! Way to go Emily!! You are doing great!

Emily, The bakery isnt really my problem. While I am working I dont really have time to eat too much and at night the food is "all the way out there" :lol: so I dont bother with it. My problem is chinese and just fatty foods.

This week I have been overeating my BB fat free yogurt. It is bugging me because I have that party this weekend and I cant stop eating that stuff!!! My goal for Today is to be good. I have a problem where the smaller I am the more I think I can get away with overeating and I do NOT want to gain this weight back!!

Kempy, a movie sounds so neat. I would like to see something like that.

Sandy, I like the gag gift idea. I will have to go to Greenville tonight with Jay. Indian Hill Trading Post has over the hill stuff.

Noelle, Where are ya girl? If ya fell off the wagon get back up and come join us. I am being bad so come help me!!

Neesh, Did you get everything packed up this weekend?
