Kierie :scooter:

Hey all, I was busy and goofing off this morning. It is so cold and windy here in Wisconsin, just plain yucky. Oh and I have a cold! SUCKS!! We leave for vacation next Friday to FL and hope the hurricanes finish their destruction by then!!!! I now here a cold front is moving in. I leave the cold to go to a warm place... it better warm up down there!

My precious Kate was thrown down the stairs last night by our wacked out over zealous dog. She has been totally bizarre lately and last night as we were getting ready to go downstairs and the crazy dog (golden ret.) wacked into her and pushed her right down the stairs. Thankfully hubby just kicked the bean bag down so she landed on that, and she rolled instead of head over heals. She was OK, just very scared. So we were all frazzled about that.

That is about it for me. Have to get something done today before I leave to take the girls to dance!!

Hi all,

I ran my half marathon and now my foot is sore, but asides from that I was sooooo happy to have done it, even though the weather sucked, and our room in Niagara left a lot to be desired. I still had fun though!!

Jen: My brother once fell down the stairs into a pile of laundry. I am glad Kate is okay.

KO: Well my dear, you're doing a fab job on the WL! Congrats!

Cheers!

Ali:)

Ali thats great! you must feel so accomplished!
I'm working on getting the exercise back in I was thinking of getting a manual (aka easy to hide from company) treadmill. And I found this table top speed bag I was looking at it suctions to a table
No Coffee this AM so I have a serious case of Draggin Arse. I'm trying to find healthy T-day recipes.

kate

Hey Kate you are doing great (ok I'm a poet ;))
now I'm saying this as the non WW member I've been one twice one bad meeting one good just ran out of motivation
you are never alone at a WW meeting b/c everyone no matter what size is in the same boat! Go when you want too and if you don't want to face the scale use your get out of jail free card
or step on and we will be :cheer: for you!
Now question:
I am trying to pack my chili with more veggies Fun veggies (in the fall winter salad doesn't really happen)
any ideas
My newest addition is Okra
BBL
Kierie

KO - you can add peppers, all different kinds. Different kinds of beans, not just kidney/chili. Some people add corn, but that is a higher carb veggie.

Kate - Yah on the loss. It really has been quiet here lately!! Coincidence?????? Hmmmm. Tho I have been lonely!!

I haven't weighed this week. Too much stress, too little time. I really don't know how I get anything done. My Emma is turning 5 and her party is Friday night. Her first real party and there will be family and kids there. Too many people to figure out what to do with. We are having it at a pizza place, but I need things to do with the kids. Since they are in the 5's, I am trying to do non competitive games so no one feels bad. They get to decorate their own birthday hats, and I have a cardboard castle playhouse that they get to color. Any other ideas????

Kierie: I too am thinking of getting a treadmill. I don't mind running outside in the winter, however it's good for the cold/wet really slippery days!!

Jen: Good Luck with the party, I can't believe your daughter is 5! I remember when you were posting here after she was born..

Kate: Don't be too scared to WI after a bad food week, they happen to everyone... even leaders. Anyhoo, I don't think I've met you yet so hello! Nice to *meet* you! I am 28, engaged and work for the Canadian government (I am not at work right now, I have an appt this morning).

Wow I've been posting on this thread for 5 years now!!!

Cheers!

Ali:)

LOL Ali I had the same reaction OMG EMMA's 5! I remember when she was in Jen's Belly
how are the wedding plans going?
Jen do you have a room to yourselves in the Pizza parlour? if so little kids love to dance you could put some music on also maybe hopscotch? or if you want more quiet fun (and you probably want a quiet alternative) Maybe the craft store would have something fun and age appropriate?
Today my boss is bringing in Donuts and Bagels (KRYPTONITE) But I will resist! I'm down 2 from gaining a post funeral 5 so I should be back on track by next week.
bbiab
Kierie

KO - yes, we have a private room. Never thought of hopscotch. I was thinking of buying some of those little individual Lego sets and letting each child build something and they get to keep it. 5 year olds are good with losing, so I don't want anything competitive. I figure once they goof around for awhile, eat, goof around some more, open gifts and then play on the quarter rides (I am paying for some rides)... it should be time to go! I worry too much!

Oh and the pizza is AWESOME! It is 50's themed local joint. They have the best super crispy thin crust pizza. Just awesome!! Not diet friendly at all, but then again, neither is Mc D's!! I would rather have pizza!

My life turned super stressful. My brother has a learning challenged child who is becomming emotionally unstable and violent tendancies. He is 7 and was just taken out of school because the school feel their is a safety issue. My brother works here with me and has spent the last 3 months barely at work, but still getting paid full time. I feel bad for his situation, but my problem is that the work isn't getting done, yet we can't afford to hire anyone else because we are still paying him. And I am now stuck with trying to figure all this mess out. His son won't be allowed back in school until Dec. 1, if he passes an evaluation. It is crazy. My SIL works PT, yet doesn't want to take any time off because she says she can't advance in her job then, even tho her boss understands. Because we are family, it is assumed we can bend.

Sorry for the vent, it has just been hard on me! 2 weeks was one thing, but this is 3 months now and they aren't reaching out for help or assistance in this!

OK, I have a meeting now. Sorry for the vent!

Jen-L Lego was my next suggestion I'm 29 and I love Lego
As for you Brother and SIL that is very hard. If she worked full time (and had salary parity) I could understand her not wanting to risk her career, But Come on your company needs your brother's work done family or not.
:grouphug: It's been a long few months hon feel free to vent whenever you feel the need
Kierie

I meant to say that 5 year older AREN'T good at losing!!

KO - going to run out at lunch and look for Legos. Who doesn't like Legos!!!! Great minds think alike!

Sorry to be mia, I had my ultrasound on Monday. Couldn't see anything but a yolk sac, so either I ovulated a week late, or I will probably m/c. I am waiting for a appt at the hospital for an appt next week to find out more. So I am not good company. I will probably be in lurk mode til I know something for sure. Don't mind me, just a pity party.

:grouphug: Flower I'll be keeping you in my prayers lady!

Flower you have every right to be wanting to do a pity party. I am sorry, and hope that it all turns out.

Jen, yikes that is a tough one being family and all. Has anyone had a talk with him about him taking steps to get help? Because does he think that he can indefinetly stay off work and get paid? It is sad that his son has problems, no one should have to deal with problems such as that.

well off to do some work...
later ladies

I had a scale VICTORY this AM!
i had to get on 3 times to check
186 woohoo thats 18 pounds gone!
i reevaluated my goals based on what some other women were doing so now I'm shooting for 130!
bbl
Kierie

flower-i'm so sorry

jen-this is buisness not family, what would you do if he was just an employee ?
yey on emmas birthday !

ali- hi nice to meet you too !!!

Kierie- hope you resisted the dougnuts

jen a cute game we play at parties is "pass the parcel" grab snack sized candy, or small toys, and wrap them in each layer of the parcel, put some music on and they pass it round a circle, whoever is holding it when the music stops gets to open a layer and keep whats in there, then pass it on as the music stops, its soooo cute to watch them try to take as long as possible to pass it on ;) and you can have a full sized candy or toy in the middle.

just make sure you have a layer for each child there and peek when you do music, that way everyone wins something

kate

HI all... crazy nuts here. More drama unfolds and it is making me insane!

Kate - Cute idea. It's kind of like musical chairs, but with a prize!

flower - I'm sorry also. Please join us when you are up to it!

KO - You are a losing queen! What are you doing different this time? You seem to be cruising on down!

I guess I better get something done here at work!

Kate I remember playing a game like that!
Jen SBD is just working I also have more control over what i eat and we eat alot more veggies. ALOT more veggies I sneak veggies into everything Limited sugar and very little white flour products (that doesn't mean I don't have them, I just don't keep them in the house)

We have heartbeat!

Flower: YAHHHHH!!!!!
