Hi guys!!!
I miss you all soo much - I'm going to try to catch up on some posts. My job right now doesn't afford me any internet access and I've been studying on my lunches so I'm horrible. I've also been off program for a little while - horrible things with moving and then the BF went on night shift and all sorts of other excuses. I haven't even gone to WI for 3 weeks!! I'm going this Saturday no matter what! I just hope I haven't pushed myself up over the 200# mark. Oh well, I'll catch up a bit and hopefully stop by later.

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been MIA for the past few days. Work has been crazy. We had two homicides in two days, and I've been working 10 to 12 hours a day. Finally, today is a little quieter. I got to sleep in a little, and even my dentist appointment this morning (which I had to change from yesterday because it was still crazy) was a relief from everything that's going on.

Eating? I think I've been doing OK. I WI for the first time since rejoining tonight. Wish me luck!
My eating choices haven't been great, but I think I've managed to stay OP. Although I haven't really tasted my quick lunches for the past two days. Last night, I had dinner at 11 p.m. It was a salad, so I hope that's OK. The night before, I had a pita with hummus and some baked fries for dinner because I was too tired to fix anything else. Plus, my microwave won't heat. It comes on, but doesn't heat.

Jen: I hope Emma is OK! Poor thing. Did you kiss it and make it all better?

Angie: I'm with everyone ... don't fret. Today is another day.

Stacey: I guess I must be lucky, if you want to call it that. I don't like Cadbury Creme Eggs. Someone gave one to me yesterday and I gave it to my sister. I like every other kind of chocolate, though. I'm just trying to stay away. I did have a chocolate chip cookie yesterday! And two Thin Mints for breakfast.

Hello to everyone else, Lisa, KT, Kirsty!

Kim, yes I kissed it. The bandaid covers her whole forehead. It is really cute. I am going to take pics of her first boo boo!! She was more upset that I was making her leave daycare than the fact that her head was bleeding. Kids!!!! I took her back after the doctors visit and haven't heard anything from them, so she much be doing OK!

Hello World!

How are you all today? I had a busy day at work. I'm just popping in before I get started on supper. We're going to eat early tonight because we want to be done our clean up & everything before Survivor comes on! It should be a good one! I did ok WW-wise yesterday until 9:30 then I made DF go to the store & buy us some ice cream & then the two of us proceeded to eat the whole 1.5L !! That put me up around 50 points for the third day in a row! Argh! Today is a better day. So far I've used up 17 of my points & our supper is only 7 points. If I have to have a snack later I already peeled & cut up some mangoes. Yum! I'm determined to not TOM rule my eating for the rest of the week. I can't wait until its over. I haven't had a TOM cause me this much trouble in ages! One bad thing is DF's family is coming to town this weekend & his parents always take us out for a huge supper. I'm going to preplan what I eat & I'm going to eat only veggies for lunch. They are staying over night & usually we come back to our place & sit on our butts however this time I booked us a lane to go glow bowling which is not only tons of fun but way better than sitting around letting our supper settle in. Wish me luck for keeping to my plan!

Lisa, O'Sullivan doesn't play for them any more as far as I know. My team tied your team the other night! Crazy! I thought they would whip our butts. I so hope we actually make the playoofs this year! Good luck with New York this weekend. Have a blast at SNL. I agree Jimmy Fallon is sweet! The cast this season is great. I love Maya Rudolph-she totally cracks me up! Oh yeah & to make sure I get enough essential fatty acids I like to sprinkle a tsp or two of nuts or sunflower seed or flax into my salad. Yum!

Kim, sorry to hear life is so hectic right now. Sounds like you're making great food choices though! keep it up! Good luck at WI tonight.

KT, good luck with your meeting this week. Sorry to hear that life is getting in the way of your goals. Hopefully things will settle down soon.

Jen, sorry to hear about Emma's mishap! Please post the picture when you get it! I bet she looks so sweet

Kirsty, Congrats on your 3er! Thanks for sharing the article exerp. I just bought our new WW mag today but haven't had a chance to even browse it yet. As for the colors if you go into your profile & then into Options you can pick from four or so setting for color. Mine is the Aqua one right now. I don't enjoy the Black one-way to hard to read.

Angie, I know how you feel. Its such a struggle to suceed & then when you don't its such a struggle not to berate yourself. Things will get better & easier in time. Keep looking forward! Celebrate the successes when they do come! Congrats on your two pounds!

Stacey, congrats on your chocolate fast! You are the inspiration (sung to the Chicago tune) Sorry to hear your realtors are sick. At least they didn't come over & pass it on to you!

JenK, What was with Bono all over India Ari?? It looked weird to me. Glad you're getting settled in. I had a great laugh at the picture of you kicking the crap out of an Easter Bunny with Fairy Wings!!

Hi to everyone else! Oh yeah one more thing to tell you (this little drop in is taking way longer than I meant too!) anyway. I was at the store today picking up some b-day cards & I really wanted some Easter Chocolate but I told myself that if I put it back I was allowed to by myself a new Bridal magazine (I'm hooked on those things). So I put it back & now I have a new mag to look at. Good trade huh? I haven't been buying any magazines for a long time because we've been trying to trim extras like that out of our budget until after our wedding. Anyway I really am going this time!! Talk to you all later!

-Rina

I am having one of those weeks at work where I have so much to do that it seems easier to just do nothing! I was on an unexpected conference call for 2 hours today - THRU LUNCH! - and now my day is all messed up. Okay, enough of my whining!

Rina - I think trading chocolate for a bridal magazine sounds fair! Good job resisting your temptation. And stay strong and stick to your plan while the future in-laws are in town. I know you can do it! (I am tempted to use the weight lifting icon here again, but enough of me trying to kick everyone's butts!)

Lisa - I'm so jealous that you get to see SNL! That's awesome. Have a great time. And U2 does rock. I saw them in concert 3 times in the past year (I told you I am obsessed!) and they are by far the best I've seen, and I've seen at least 35 concerts (but not Bon Jovi - I couldn't get anyone to go with me!) I also can't believe that Alicia Keys beat U2.

Kim - Good luck at WI tonight!!

Hi to everyone else!!

Angie - OCH - don't worry about yesterday, you can't fix it. I was kicking myself for eating b-day cake and I have TOM too and my home scale says up a few lbs, but I amnot worrying about it- I've been good today. Just focus on that!! Listen to Kirsty's advice....its very sound. YAY on your 2 lbs!!!

Stacey - yikes, my boss is on a rampage too - no more coffee breaks - what is that??? BTW - I have 5 easter creme eggs in my house right now...I can relate...yikes.

Jen 2 - I too am obsessed with U2 and guess what...I forgot to watch them. lI went out for dinner to my sisters and I forgot. SO I had to see how they went in the paper today...boohh!!!!

Ali - congrats on having choice in your job. Good luck making your decsion. As much as it sucks to have to decide, you are so lucky to have a choice!!!

Kirsty - are you doing regular or power yoga?? I have heard its great toning (both) but mixed reviews on the power yoga....

Jen - hope Emma is okay!!! I too had an accident today - I bailed in the road though.....no one to kiss me better, oh well!! Take care of your sweetie pie - got any new pics?

LISA - HOW LONG WILL YOU BE IN NEW YORK?? i AM GOING TO NY ON WEDNESDAY (chinectiquee?)!!!! No tix to SNL though, very jealous!!!

KT - good luck at WI when you go...I am sure its not so bad!!

Kim - sorry to hear you are working such mad hours!! But you don't like the creme eggs?? You ARE lucky, very very lucky.....they are calling me righ tnow and I am at 20 points for the day already, having dinner left to go!!!! ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!

Rina - what a cool thing to do! The magasine instead of the chocolate. Good strategy, I will try this myself....

Well, I better get off the computer and get to making some supper. B/f is working at home late, so I can't turn on the TV, which means I should do a workout video!!!

Adios amigos!!
