    Well ... last night's getting active just plain didn't happen ... it was a horrible week and I gave up. But today has been great so far. Eating is right on track, I've done some Wii Zumba, went to get tickets at the casino for the Jeffrey Steele show tonight, dropped a $20 in the 2 cent machine while I was there and walked out with $260. That rarely happens but I'm happy that it did :happy: I'm thinking I might just take the hubby out for dinner before the show. I hope all of my MFP friends are having a great weekend.

    That is awesome Maggs. Hope you had a great night.

    I have had an amazing weekend, filled with family, friends and food (of course). Looking forward to getting back to normal tomorrow- you know you had a busy weekend when you are looking forward to getting back to the quiet of the work week. Hope everyone else had a great weekend too!

    Awesome Maggs!!!!!!!! The only time I ever gambled I took $25- won $15 more- then lost it all. :grumble:

    I had a GREAT weekend!!

    Bf started cleaning! So I jumped right in and we cleaned just about everything!! The only rooms left are the basement and bathroom. (It was muddy so we had to keep the dogs in those rooms so they wouldn't mess up the rest of the house.) Hopefully I'll finish the bathroom today and we'll tackle the basement this weekend- it needs major remodeling.

    We made huge changes- rearranged rooms and everything. Our dogs used to sleep in our bed. Used to. Everytime I carpet cleaned a rug one of the dogs would go pee on it. WTF??? Not just ONE but each dog did it to each freaking rug. Short of murder- I decided it's time to demote them and show them who's boss. They no longer sit on the couch, sleep in our bed or ANYTHING until they behave. WTH?? I can't wait until Spring to be able to powerwash the rugs. Right now the dogs are sleeping in their crates in the den. It went surprisingly well- they don't cry or anything. However- I've woken up a million times the last 2 nights FREEZING. We'll all get used to it though.

    I've thought about rehoming one or all of them one hundred million times. With 3 dogs, a cat and a kid- it seems like there's always a dominance battle. But I just can't do it. It may take a thousand years but we'll eventually find a system that works for us all. . . right? Am I being naive here. I just could not actually rehome one or all of them unless there was a biting/fighting issue I couldn't resolve...

    Hello All!

    Lost two pounds last week. Yay!

    Yesterday I spent a few hours tearing down drywall and stuff at my mother's house so my DH and I can remodel one of her rooms for her. I am quite sore today from it since I don't exercise much. It was fun though since I got to vent my stress by kicking down some walls. Oh yeah, I went all Chuck Norris on those walls...lol. They didn't stand a chance from my feet of fury. :laugh:

    I hope everyone has a happy, healthy week!

    Take care,
    ~ Datenshi ~

    My weekend wasn't too shabby. Saw a nice show on Saturday night with the hubby which is always nice. I wish we went out more often. My feet are still screaming at me but I'm sure I'll eventually get used to the orthotics. I ignored the pain and did some Zumba and some walking because I just miss being active so much. The cabin fever blues are the pits and getting active seems to be the only cure I know of that works. Hope everyone is enjoying this day ... it’s a sunny day here and it's my lunch hour ... two things that make me happy.

    Nessa- Good for you and your bf getting so much accomplished. I have a 7 month old puppy I threaten with the pound daily, but I am a lot of talk. I have recently started trying to teach him some manners.

    Datenshi- Sounds fun! And yay to 2 pounds!! keep it up.

    Maggs- keep at it with the orthodics it will be worth it in the end.

    Is it good stuff that's going on at your house? :)

    Up 0.6 pounds this week. I am so upset with myself I could scream. Its not the weight gain, that I think is just about maintenance. I did not got to the gym or work out once. Thats right I am logging ZERO minutes. I can feel my butt growing and it is not my imagination, my jeans feel tighter. I have had a head cold all week and been beyond tired but the old me would have pushed through. Hope everyone else did better.

    LW 148.2
    TW 148.8

    Yes- VERY good. :bigsmile: I"ve pretty much re arranged every room accept ours and daughters. (Which got rearranged a couple months ago. lol)

    Up 2.9 lbs this week. I'm sooooooooooooo shocked it's not more. The last 3 weeks I've either been sick or gorging myself on foods I shouldn't and exercise?? Yea right. I can't beleive it's only 3!

    Way to go on your losses Datenshi, Chrissy and Yolie, good job maintaining Maggs and Blue.

    Nessa- you and I better pull up our socks! :laugh:

    I went and bought a scale that measures body fat %- I will try it again in the morning but if that is the truth it is ugly!!! It also weighs about 3 pounds heavier than my regular scale so i may be looking at a huge new scale gain next Friday.

    Well it is true my BF% is much higher than I would like to see, however I am keeping in mind it is almost 15% lower than 2 years ago when I had it measured at the gym. My new scale does indeed weigh me about 4 pounds heavier than the old one, I put them side by side and tested it a couple of times so my weight will go up this Friday no matter how hard I try because I want to use the new scale. I guess my goal will be to not go up more than 2 pounds which will indicate a 2 pound loss on the old one.

    Happy Monday!!

    Cant wait for this weeks weigh in - the scale is my friend (for now!)

    Had a great 3 mile run yesterday (walked 3 too) it was SO pretty outside, also worked in flower beds and between walking, running, squating in the flower beds, my legs are like jello! Hurts so good, right?!

    Happy birthday to your daughter Nessa.
    Happy Tuesday to everyone. It is a beautiful day, it is supposed to rain tomorrow so as soon as the kids are up from their naps we are heading outside for the rest of the afternoon to enjoy the fresh air.

    Maggs- Sounds great. Good to see you so chipper!!
