Momma, so sorry to hear Ryan in pain or whatnot. I would worry too much since he hasn't really complain too much and playing normally. But just ot be on the safe side, call the doctor and inform her about the bump. Hopefully it's nothing.
About your youngest daughter, reading one-on-one is a great idea. I do that with all my children..even the older ones. My daughter love to read so we share inputs about the book she is reading. she is currently reading the series or books "sisterhood of the traveling pants" she watch both movies after we read book one and two. Now she is on book 3. My older son hate to read, so I have to look for books that would have something intresting like a mystery plot. Sometimes it's very challenging because I might think the book I check out he doesn't like or doesn't intrest him. Durning summer vacation, in about a week, we plan on going to the library and seriously going through aisle by aisle to see what does he want to read....he is suppose to do this on his own but if i leave it for him to do it will never be done. he is 13 years old and hate to read. My youngest son LOVES to read. Every single week we are in the library picking out 5 books to read in one day, every single day until we send them back. The one book he wanted me to read over and over and over again was " I know an old lady who swallowed a fly" It was my daughter's favorite too, when she was very young, and till today. sorry for all the rambling...LOL
elmox: I sent you an "friend request"...please accept
be back later
Pos - Oh you brought back a flood of memories. There was an old lady who swalled a fly that I am crazy about and I can't find the book tell you the artist but the cover and pages has a lot of black and bright bold colors. It was one of my favorites because of the pictures that went to the lyrics.
My oldest is in college and still doesn't enjoy reading. But then in collage I did no pleasure reading just tried to get through all the required material. Any who he had a 5th grade teacher the got him started on poetry with Shil Silverstein?sp He has written a couple of books. The poems and such are quirky and silly, things that kids can realate to. You might give it a try. Also he started reading books or magazine articles that had anything to do with soccer, his passion. Good luck. Litereacy is very important to me. I have been a reading tutor at the grade school level for years. I love the saying, 'First you learn to read, then you read to learn".0 -
Thanks for the warm welcome back, ladies!
Unfortunately with the reduce hours, I don't get as much computer time as I'm used to. It took me a LONG time to catch up on posts, but I read everything and even took a few notes. I'll apologize ahead of time for only commenting on a few items.
Jess: I love the new boots. I have the same ones but in the brown lower/pink upper. They're super comfortable and only took one evening before they were fully "broken in." I'm so jealous that you get to go two steppin'! We don't have any bars/clubs that do that anymore. Boo!
Bluenote: Thank you for sharing your gym orientation story with us. I definitely giggled.
Elmox: You'll be in those 12s before you know it!
Julie: Your rotisserie chicken story had me laughing because I went through a similar ordeal with iced coffee. When Super America (gas station chain) first got their iced coffee machines, I was addicted. One weekend, while out and about in the world, I went to FOUR Super Americas to try to find the coffee. Two of them didn't have the machines yet, one had a machine out of service and the last one didn't have the mocha flavor I was in need of. My boyfriend thought it was all hilarious, but I was literally about in tears over iced coffee. Anyway...I LOVE the new ring! It's gorgeous. I'm now officially jealous of all of you gals who are getting married!
Snowflakes: I loved reading Shel Silverstein as a kid. I loved reading just about anything I could get my hands on, though, so I'm probably not a great spokesperson! I've found that boys especially love Mr. Silverstein's work, though.
Okay, my current weight is 192.6, so no loss. I blame the Olive Garden dinner from Monday night. Pasta always sticks with me for WAY too long! Hopefully it will all be gone again soon.
I'll try to stay current this weekend because it's so hard to play catch up after being away from you gals. I have Monday off, so I may fall a bit behind there. Hope you all have a great weekend in case I can't check back again today.

snowflakes-OMG I loved those books!!
POS-WOW! Maybe God is answering your husband prayers. Good luck girl!
Heather-My best friend went to school in Minneapolis and they use to always go to a place called Rush I think...I think they turned it into some other weird punk rock bar or something now. I'm not sure. When she graduated we went to some country bar but can't remember what it was called. We don't have as many as I would like around here. We are having to drive about 40 minutes to go to a good one tonight. The one we used to go to now is non smoking and so nobody goes there except creepy old men. I wore them to work this morning and they are super comfy! Wanted to break 'em in before tonight.
Are you going back to Wisconsin for training anytime soon? That's where you were right? I'll be back up in Pittsville at the end of June begining of July!
For the first time I think all week I ate the lunch that I brought. YAY ME!0 -

Holy crap, my first weigh in in a while and I did great! This really makes me feel like going to the gym today..I havent been in weeks. Plus I just got sick again, but I'm not going to let that get in my way. My nose is just a little stuffy, I need my exercise...I feel pumped!0 -
Way to go Mari!!! Ride the wave of good feeling right to the gym and have a great workout.0

tstout -- I think you calculated something wrong. I say this because I'm under the impression you weigh under 400 pounds (forgive me if I'm wrong!!). And 4 pounds is 1% of 400. So 4 pounds is 2% of 200 so that makes me feel lik you definitely lost more than 0.97%. I feel like you'll probably be this week's biggest loser and I don't want you to be deprived of torturing us with a challenge because of a calculation error!
Divide the amount you lost (4 pounds) by last week's weight and then move the decimal over 2 places to the right. 0 -
I may be up 3-4 lbs this week due to TOM, but here is my little victory for the day. For quite some time now, I wear shorts or yoga pants all day long because I work at home and can get away with it. My jeans fit, but I hate the way they dig into my belly after I sit in them for a long period of time, so I only wear my jeans when I'm leaving the house. But today I have been wearing my jeans all day because we had a handyman coming to the house this morning to install a new toilet downstairs and I wanted to be "presentable", and then I realized they weren't digging into my belly so I kept them on after he left! Well they are a little bit but not uncomfortably so... still that makes me happy. 0

Miranda -wtg!! on the jeans...i doubt i will wear jeans again at least till October...too hot here
MAri - WTg on the weight loss...
i know i am obsessed with the scale ...i am the 1st to say it ...so this morning i get on and i was 274.2 (which i was not happy about), so got dressed had breakfast and some water(not much like maybe 10 oz), then got ready for the gym (at home) ...got on the scale before i got dressed for the gym , and i was 273.4 (which is much more what i was thinking for this week, that was a litlte over a lb)...soo weird my 1st weigh is more than later in the day...here is my thought and i am jsut rambling here cause i really dont' want to work, is 1) the last few mornings i wake up and my ring is very tight and 2) my children won't stay in their beds...serena came in our bed at 2 this morning (never does that), but the other one has been coming in several nights at like midnight, so of course it disrupts my sleep, wonder if that causes fluctiation...no big deal i will move on...just my random thoughts
I did go to the gym at lunch, did the weightloss thing on the elliptical...the intervals were more resistance than i ever did before, i thought i wasn't going to do it, but i did !!! Ended up burning like 350 at the gym, + my spin calss i am taking tonight i think i will easy be hitting 700 cals burned today 0 -
Thanks elmox and Deb! I just checked the scale again and now its telling me even another pound less, though I'm not going to put that in to be fair...I weighed in the morning and that's that!0

hahahah WOW! I am sllooow today. Math and I are not friends sometimes...:blushing: So here's what it really is (I think haha):
me... -4 pounds... 1.65%.
hahaha oh dear. Happy Friday everyone!
After only one week, I feel more confident that I can get weight/life/everything under control... well maybe not my math skills. And I think a lot of has to do with you ladies and your support.
Forgive my mushy-ness. I've been sitting here singing country songs to myself all day 0 -
Mari: Congrats on your weight loss..WooHoo almost 3 pounds and counting! Keep doing it girl. You got this!!!
Maranda: I know exactly what you're saying...I hated that feeling. Even though the scales is not cooperating you're clothing sure is
Great job! 0 -
Hey Gals,
Just a quick check in I have a ton to do and I just got back from the dr. Ryan has an abnormality in the joint of the bone, blah blah blah. It is fine and she see's this type of abnormality quite a bit. Okay, the doctor grabs Ry's ribs on each side and compressed them together. He is quite thin and you could see them come together. :noway: eeeewwwww I did not like it.0 -
double post thanks to the slowness of the computer of mfp today0

Jess: I used to practically live at Rush. Before it was Rush, it was called Rodeo. Anyway, once they started playing Top 40 pop hits, it all went downhill and the fun country people stopped going. They ended up closing several years ago and the building has been sitting empty ever since. A friend of mine went to look at it about a month ago because her brother was considering buying it and opening it again, but a water pipe burst during one of it's vacant winters and the dance floor is completely buckled and warped. It's so sad! Some of my best memories were dancing at that place!! I get a bit bummed every time I drive by, which is at least twice a week! Sometime I'll have to come visit you in Texas and we'll have to two step and line dance up a storm. I'm glad your boots are comfy!
Elmox: Thanks for adding me to the weigh-in list. To be honest, I was being lazy by not scrolling back to cut and paste. Thanks for watching out for me!
Miranda: I know exactly what you're talking about when you say your jeans are uncomfortable in the belly. Since most of my pants are entirely too big, I don't experience that very often. When my jeans start feeling a bit uncomfy when sitting at my desk, I know I'm bloated and need to take care of it. It's always a good indicator of where I'm at.0 -

That's so funny! They use to live there too!! RODEO! I remember hearing them talk about that place allll the time! Y'all were probably hanging out there at the same time! Hey if you've ever got a reason to be in Texas you let me know!0 -

Momma-Glad to hear Ryan is going to be okay! :flowerforyou:
LilDebbie-There are so many reasons why you fluxate so much. I wouldn't stress about it. The good news is your weight is going down.
Miranda-That's awesome about your jeans! Congrats!!0 -
I still have 3 more pages to read!! Very chatty since I left work yesterday. I wanted to put the comments out there before I forgot anything.
Kdub – You are looking great!!
Istpaul – Hope your shoulder feel better soon. I haven’t dealt with anything like that before, sorry.
Lildeb – So glad you got your AC fixed!! I would go crazy without mine. I sure hope that this doctor can help you with your daughter. That is so exciting about the 16’s!! They might be a little snug now but they will fit perfectly soon! Losing .4 lbs is still great and WTG on the 1 ½ inches!!
Tstout – I am the same with my pic. My pic is one of me at my lowest weight. I guess I should do the same and change it to a more recent one. WTG on the 4 lbs!!!
Blue – Great job at the rec!!! I loved your play by play!!
Momma – THAT IS WONDERFUL!!! I am soooo happy for you!! Hope you have a great time at your camp and you will get up that hill this year!! Your son is adorable. I was wondering how you go the butterfly on his face.
Elmox – I hear you!! I promise I am reading them. Sorry that I have missed commenting. What do you play in the worship band? Hope it went well.
Julie – Sorry about the no rotisserie chickens. That is really shocking!! Have fun ring shopping!!
Cris – WTG on still going to spin class!! That is great!
Mstahl – Good to hear that you are being proactive instead of reactive with your exercise. Sorry to hear about George, I hope he gets better real soon!!
Pos_me – Glad that you are putting the guilty day behind you and moving on! Today will be a better day!!
Awestfall – Sounds like you have a great plan for your trip! Way to go on the 16’s being too big!!

OK girls, tomorrow is my very first ONE MILE WALK! I am doing the 1 mile Fun Walk for the Komen Race for the Cure. I'll take pics if I am not too pooped! Wish me luck! I am very proud of myself. I raised $240.00!!! I was shooting for 500 but hey I am proud of 240!!!
check in:
calories: good
water: 100
exercise: PT today. Squats with a freakin' 12 pound medicine ball. Step aerobics/balancing with an 8 inch step. I told my physical therapist that today put him at the very top of my revised will and testament, and that because he is putting me into the grave with his exercise torture, he will inherit my four cats! :laugh:
proud: I survived Physical Therapy!!! :bigsmile: Plus I didn't back out on the race tomorrow! Almost all of the other teachers on my team did! :grumble:0 -

Hey that's awesome! I'm in the habit of pretty much immediately putting on PJs (or "lounge" clothes... lol) when I get home. Yesterday I had changed shirts and thought I had changed pants but I hadn't. My size 16 work pants are so big they felt like lounge pants. So comfy!
Today I grabbed a pair of jeans out of my closet I haven't ever really worn because they were ridiculously tight in my thighs even last month when I tried them on. They were huge all over. But they were the only clean jeans I had and I didn't feel like dewrinkling any slacks so I wore them to work and looked like bum. :laugh: Hooray, elliptical!
I had to go off site unexpectedly for work again today. I ended up running into 2 of my least favorite people -- my ex supervisor and her boss. UGH. I really hated working for them (I left almost 2 years ago) and... well, I may have been brutally honest, while still maintaining professionalism, on my exit interview because I wanted to document exactly why I left that job for only a very small pay increase. There were a *lot* of bad feelings on my side when I left and I heard through the grapevine that my exit interview didn't exactly go over very well.
Today, they were very fake cordial to me and I got the strangest compliment (I think) through my ex supervisor's boss's clenched teeth (seriously -- clenched). She said, "Well, you're a very different looking bird." :huh: :laugh: Who says that?! Why not just "You look good" or not say anything at all? I faked interest in polite conversation (I bit back by letting them know I *really* liked my coworkers now when they asked how my "new job" was gong) for a few minutes and then actually said "Well.... I'm gonna skeeeedaddle!" And then I ran away. :laugh: Horrible people. Just awful.
Day 4 of my rotisserie chicken search -- SUCCESS!!! :bigsmile:0 -
Julie this is for you from elmox!!
