Julie, we'd love to see the haircut. Hooray for feeling great and giving yourself compliments. You deserve it. Love yourself, now, not when you lose 10 lbs or 20 lbs. Now.
Julie I guess you finally did it. I am with Noelle, I would love to see it. My mom wears on my nerves too but I love her.
Jackie I am going to go to school for Electrolysis. I was interested in that when I lived in Florida but now the school is literally right around the block from where I work now so it seemed like it was calling me.
Angie and Noelle, don't worry, I think Joe is going to keep one of the puppies and train it to hunt himself. I am so glad that we don't have to do the away from home thing again. That was miserable.
I think Iwill be getting off work a little early today so that I can workout. I don't have a headache so I want to get something in today. I hope to chat with you guys before i leave today.
Noelle I am so glad that you found your groove. I knew you would. You deserve it too!
Kempy, just wait all those fuzzy little puppies to love. You are going to love it. Echo probably will be ready for them to go when they are old enough though. When Taz had her kittens I thought oh she is such a good mom I cant take her babies away. That poor cat had cats hanging off her nipples until they were bigger than her, she had to kick them off her. it was so funny to see a cat laying down and have 4 full grown sized kittens knitting on her like they were breast feeding. haha. They did it until they were well over a year old. We had to bottle feed them when they were newborn too. My dad let Nakita(his Rottie) in the bedroom where Taz and the kittens were. Taz attacked that dog so bad. She pulled all her toenails out in Nakitas face and body. Ya gotta love Nakita though. A full grown Rottie cowering and trying to get away from a spastic cat. She never tried to hurt the cat or anything she just wanted out. Needless to say Taz was almost dead from all the energy she spent attacking the dog that she wouldnt nurse so we had to go to the vets and get formula and little bottle droppers and hand feed them every few hours. That was not fun. They cry loudly when they want to be fed.
Julie, I want to see your haircut too. I'll bet you look beautiful.
Noelle, I dont have a clue what I am going to do. Tammy has done my hair since I was a kid. I live 30 miles from her as it is. I dont use the ones from my own town. Iguess I will just trim up the front myself and wait for her to come back. It will drive me nuts though.
I am glad you found your mojo too. We are doing great if I dont say so myself. I dont want to jynx it though. I am making my own supper fot this weekend and Jay and the kids can have pizza if they want. I want to at least look good for Florida so I hope I can hold off until then to do any pigging out. I wont be sticking to any kind of diet for those 2 weeks though.
I have to go look at cell phones sometime here. I need one but I have know idea how they work. Can I use it in Florida if I get one from here. We had one along time ago that we couldnt use if we went too far away from home(kinda defeats the purpose doesnt it. )
Hey Girls our scanner was not working but I will see if I can get my hubby to take a look at it and if it does work I will put a pic up!
I think I got the stress gene in me from my mom but I just love and adore her. Only if I could have gotten the metabolism that she has! We actually go and get our haircut together and she bought today.
Thanks Noelle you are a real honey!
Kempy that is something about the sugar. It sounds like it really can contribute to alot of health problems. I am really trying to cut down.
Well off to make supper. Either going to grill a steak or have some shrimp cocktail with a baked potatoe and a veggie. Check in later! Julie
MMM Shrimp cocktail sounds good. I made crispy "fried" chicken tonight. I take chicken breast and pound it thin and cut it into strips. Then I dip it in egg whites and roll in WOW chip crumbs. Bake it in the oven until crunchy and cooked. It is so good. It tastes just like fried chicken without the fat.
I bagged up all of our cans and bottles tonight. We have almost $50.00 worth of cans at our house. That isnt even from the whole year either. We drink ALOT of diet coke. Another $50.00 in the vaca fund always helps.
Kempy, Did you get your workout in this afternoon?
Noelle, Are ya working hard today?
Cherie, Did everything work out at work today. I hope so.
The kids all have physicals in the morning. YIPPEE!!! We have our wholesaler showing up in the morning and tons of cake donuts to make so it should make getting any sort of workout in fun. I'll have to make up for it at the coast with some extra hiking on Saturday.
Hey everyone.... I am here.. just a little worn down.. feeling bloated and icky.... I guess it's still that lovely TOM effects. I did eat a couple of things not OP today, one was a candy bar. And I figured out it wasn't worth it, but chocolate is still calling my name, so now I am just going to have to go back avoiding it and it won't be so bad. I will go and do my elliptical machine exercises tonight.. so maybe that will help me feel better.
Well, there are no decision about our office yet, the big annoucement was one of our three managers is leaving due to personal and professional reasons. Her last day is next Friday. She heads up one of our biggest accounts, and our survival depends on how well this account goes. So in a way, it's bad we are losing 1/3 of our management team, but the good thing is, my manager is going to take over, and if anyone can get this account to run smoothly, she can! I just hope it doesn't kill her with all the work!
I am too tired to do individual hellos... so one big hello to EVERYONE!!! You guys are doing GREAT THIS WEEK!!!!
Well, I am feeling better this morning. Yes, I was right about feeling bloated and such, because I am up a pound. I am now 141.00. But I am not depressed, because I know it's just water. I know the candy bar from yesterday didn't make me gain weight.. maybe stall it, but not gain.. and I did all my exercise yesterday... This weekend will be a good one... so Hopefully, by Monday, the scales will be down, the bloating will be gone and so will TOM!!!
How is everyone this morning? I am glad it's Friday... it's just going to be a long day. :-(
I am not in the best of moods today. I feel like I have been working so hard on to find that my jeans hurt today. I don't understand what is going on. I know it isn't PMS b/c that was last week. I am not going to give up but I feel terrible now.
Kempy, maybe it was the sushi that is making you hold water today. You are doing a great job.
Cherie, I am glad to hear that the announcement wasnt too bad. You have a great attitude about your weight loss. I am trying my best to think like that.
I have already bought a big salad from Subway to go with my spaghetti and meatballs tomorrow night and I have a half a sandwich for my lunch tomorrow so I am planning to be good all weekend. Fingers Crossed!!
I have a problem with my email. I checked it yesterday 1400 messages so I wade through it all and delete it and shut off the computer when I turn it back on they are all back again so I checked them,deleted them and then went to the deleted files and permanently deleted them, GUESS WHAT? they are back again. What do I do? I am pissed off because I am waiting for a confirmation on Brits order and dont have time to wade through all the junk mail everytime. I am getting it from 13/03 until now. It is the same **** I deleted already. Since I am computer illiterate it is bugging me.
Happy Friday everyone! I just got back from my WW meeting and I'm down 1.8 lbs so yippee!!! Any loss is a good loss for me. I have nigiri sushi for lunch today, low in fat and points--I can eat 4 pieces of this type of sushi for only 2 pts. That means a whole lunch box type of "meal" is only 4 pts. WOW! Cool. I liked sushi before, but I like it even more now that I know I can eat it without guilt. I've been drinking tons of water and it's helping to keep the bloat out. Speaking of bloat, TOM decided to visit yesterday...geez, it's only been over a month and a half since the last one . SO I'm happy that I showed any kind of loss at all. I have a 1-year old b-day party to go to for my cousin's daughter tomorrow. That'll be a challenge since here in Hawaii it's a tradition to go all-out for the baby's first year with a luau. I'll be using my flex points for sure.
Angie, you go girl with your planning. As far as the email messages reappearing in your inbox after deletion, it sounds like a problem with your server, not your computer. Don't know how to fix that except to call the service provider and see what's going on. That's a pain for sure.
Kempy, hang in there. If you know you've been OP and working out then don't kick yourself in the @ss. Some weeks, just suck don't they? You're doing great though, so keep doing it. Hehe, I invested in some Lands' End ankle length sport knit pants. They're not too clingy like leggings, and they're perfect for days like these. I think they're actually a little slimming too. Try 'em, you might like 'em.
Cherie, TOM will be gone soon and so will that extra bloat. Your progress is inspiring and amazing. Take care of yourself, ya hear?
So Julie, was it the steak or the shrimp cocktail last night? I love either. I'm not particularly picky about food, which is probably how I got this big . What's on the menu tonight?
My hands are freezing from the A/C and drinking all this cold water...gotta go warm up. Hi to everyone else . Check back later.
Noelle it was the shrimp cocktail and boy was it good.
Congrats on the loss! THats wonderful!
Kempy I am sorry you are having a rough one. If it helps I had a couple of those this week also. Hang in there things will get better. Your hard work will pay off!
Angie have a great trip this weekend! Have fun.
Cherie don't worry about the one pound. It will soon be gone along with the water.
I have not gotten in that much excercise this week. But I would like to take a nice long walk this weekend. I am just not looking foward to winter coming. Well gotta go make some supper. I have no idea what to make tonight. Take care everyone. Julie
I can't chat long b/c I need to balance the check book. yuck!
Anige I wanted to wish you a good trip. I know that you will have a great time. I am so proud that you guys got the RV. You are able to get out and see the world more. I remember when we first started to chat you really hadn't traveled much but know look at you. That is awesome!
Thanks Kempy. I'll try to get some good pics to show you guys.
The kids all had to have shots today. They made Brit sit on her hands. I said it was probably so you cant deck them. I told them I wouldnt go in with her because she would spaz out if I was there. Poor Corey had his physical and they wanted me in there so when the doc made him take his pants down so she could check his testicles he just about died!!! He was looking at me like help she is gonna touch my nuts!! I said she has to check them. Poor kid!! Needless to say they all needed shots Brit didnt cry or anythiong.,. Go fiugure a kid who wont take medicine but give her a shot and she is happy. In the car she looks at Alicia and says whats this button for and poked her bandaid. Little brat.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. i am going to weigh in in the morning before I leave if I have time. I have made my supper for tomorrow already so wish me luck that I stay on track.
Hey everyone!!! It's been a busy day! Glad to see everyone who has checked in!!!
Angie.. have a great weekend, and WTG on planning out your weekend meals. You will do GREAT!!! And thank you for the compliment you gave me earlier about how I think.. I am trying to stay positive and think with the facts and not with my emotions when it comes to what I weigh. It's a matter of numbers... so what I eat verse what I put out in exercise will make me lose weight! Anyway.. have a GREAT weekend!
Julie.. hope you find time for that nice long walk this weekend... Winter is just around the corner.. I hate the cold and winter... so I am not looking forward to the next few months. Glad I am already working on my weight. It will give me something to focus on instead of hibernating.
Noelle!!!!!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!! You rock!!! Wtg on your weight loss!! I bet that really keeps you motivated!!! That is awesome!!! And thank you for the compliment about being inspiring.. wow... thanks!
Kempy.... keep up the great work.. it will come off.. remember me last week and my whining... just give your body time to adjust....
Ok... almost time to put the girls to bed.. then I am going to work on the ellpitical machine.... Have a great weekend, and I will check back tomorrow!
