Thanks steph. Mine is starting out great. I get to sit and do virtually nothing and not feel guilty about not getting in any exercise today. I am sitting at the ballet studio making alterations on costumes. I am feeling too important to feel guilty. That's just sad.......
But with 2 weeks before the performance it needs to be done.

Esther - I remember those dancing days with my daughters. I ended up doing sequines on the machine, hand sewing and
patience were getting the best of me.
As far as thatching the lawn, we usually pay someone to do it and they have a machine that takes all the dead grass out.
It's usually a guy that goes door to door to see if you want it done. Our lawn is too wet now to do anything yet.
A beautiful day here but cool. I had choir rehearsal today most of the morning and then I went shopping for my
sister's birthday gift which is May 4th. I am taking her out for lunch and get to meet the new boyfriend.
So eating was not the best today and I am trying to recover the rest of the day with good food.
I think I will get hubby to take a walk we me after dinner tonight. He needs exercise too.
Have a great day everyone!

@Shirley61 I like to say I am domestically challenged because I would rather do yard work of any kind as opposed to cleaning house or doing dishes. Usually I will mow it but my knees won't hold up to the thatching and mowing both on one day and I was committed to the sewing so he had to mow it before it rained. Sucks to be him because he had to do the dishes too

Very busy and awesome day
. It's funny you all notice that if you don't get to log in your food diary by a certain time in the evening MPH puts up a notification that say (put your name here) has logged in for 116 days in a row. Lol so then of course you log. 0 -
What a day!!!!! I blew the calories. But I don't care and I don't feel guilty. After watching teenage drama I emotional ate tonight. I'm talking wailing and blubbering so bad you can't understand what they are saying and throwing themselves in the corner carrying on. All because they changed into the wrong costume. It was just a dress rehearsal!!!!!!! And then I have a 6 and 14 yr olds spending the night with my kids...... I need a drink. If I'm going to blow my calories I might just as well do it up right

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Sunday! Sunshine and blue skies today! Maire...I was up but went over to the challenge thread to start new threads. Esther..I hope you had that drink! I almost had some Firefly (sweet tea vodka aka Arnold Palmer) last night but changed my mind. On my way to church, will check back later.
Stay strong!

I always said you have to love those teenage girls. I know I had two of them 17months apart. Boy was that fun. Day is starting out here really beautiful. Going to take a ride down to Fargo just for something to do. Sunday is a kick back day for us. No cooking, no cleaning just hanging out with each other. You would think after almost 50 years together that we would be sick of each other.

Hi Marie. I am 3 hours behind Texas. So it was only 9:16 when I posted that but it clocks it in your time zone. Because this post says 2:21 my time. I know you weren't up typing at 2:21 your time 0 -

Oh believe me I did. In fact I had a few sips. I prefer applejack moonshine. It is just for sipping. Helped my muscles relax and I sleep better
Esther0 -
applejack moonshine huh maybe I should try that instead of these pills the doctor gave me. I wonder where I could fine some here in my area? I am not a drinker tho.

Hi gang. Now that I fled the scene of chaos I feel so much better. I went and swam for a little over an hour. Because the scale at my house is unpredictable I use the one at the pool. So I finally felt good enough to step on it. (Thursday and Friday I was really bloated). I am down 5 pounds this week!!!!!!!!

hi everyone,
I feel like I haven't posted in a very long time. I have had an extremely busy bunch of days with work and family commitments. I hope everyone is doing well!
I am so tired so I am saying a quick hello and will check in great detail tomorrow. I did not have a cheat tonight as we were at a party last night and I had something called a monster bar. it was two choc chip cookie bars with caramel in the middle and oreos and mms in the cookie bars. I only had about 1/3 of it, god was it great!! trying to get into 140s this week. that will make me feel good!
XO,
Stephanie

I had a horrible day, my first dog I got died while we were waiting at the vets office, he was almost 14 years old, but seemed fine until last night, I am so sad, he was a great dog and so smart and sweet. His name was Rocky, and he was a black lab.0

I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. It is very tough to have them go so suddenly. My thoughts are with you
Esther0 -
Janice, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. I love mine so much and know they won't be with me forever. Sending hugs to you from me and Brandy and Sasha (my frisky poodles who walk with me every morning).

Good morning, misfit losers! It's Monday! Janice..my heart just aches about your losing your precious dog. Our fur babies are family, and it hurts to lose them. Steph...good to see you! Can you picture us sitting in Marie's kitchen drinking Esther's moonshine and eating Stephanie's cookies?
Gym day for me..lots of sunshine today!
Stay strong!
Connie0 -
Good Morning Sisters!
Janice so sorry to hear about your dog.
Connie - I love that idea. Let's see if Marie is up for us invading her in Texas. I know Esther is game and Steph too hehehe!!!
we spent the weekend with our best friends who we missed while away and then yesterday afternoon in our old neighborhood visiting. It was a great weekend.
Another sunny day here. I am taking measurements today so I will have something besides the evil scale to gauge my success.
Have a great Monday!

Janice so sorry aboud rocky I lost My little Jack Russell in Dec, and still get teary eyes over Sammy
Marie0 -
Janice--I'm so sorry to hear about Rocky. Saying a final goodbye to pets is very hard. We had a yellow lab that died two years ago; such sadness. Labs are such wonderful dogs.0

good morning ladies,
trying to get back on track after such a busy weekend. so tired this morning and the coffee is not helping:)
oh Janice, I am so sorry about your pooch, I have always had a dog and have lost many:( do take the time to miss rocky but think about maybe getting another when you can, it is a good time of year. my guys are like family, think my dog is the most liked member of my family:) try to stay on track with eating though as it will only make you feel worse if you indulge. I have learned this personally. my thoughts go out to you!!
connie, good to see you also!! think maybe I should put a picture up as I realize I may be the only one without something!! I am not that computer savvy!!
marie, I would be happy to send you some cookies. PM me your address. I can promise you that you will not lose weight if you eat them!!
ester, moonshine, wow!! you are a lady of many talents and so funny!! haha!!
have a great day everyone!! trying to get my head back on the game today:)
