Slow, quiet day at work...

KnottyJen

I need someone to talk to, so I don't fall asleep over here!!! I've only been here two hours and I'm ready to pass out! It's so ridiculously quiet around here. I'm doing everything I can to just force my eyes to stay open!!!

Tell me what you're up to this weekend. Talk about your weightloss goals and how far you've come. Vent about your significant other. Tell me I'm awesome. :laugh: :laugh:

Whatever you want to talk about, I'm game. I just need SOMETHING to keep me from falling asleep!!! PLEASE!!!!

Hey girl! I hear ya about being tired and bored at work This weekend? Not a whole lot...clean and exercise maybe we will see lol. Weight loss goals? I have soooo much to lose but I am taking it day by day. Today is day 45 for me and I am not sure yet about the pounds but I have lost 12 inches

My friends and I are going to practice sticking IVs into each other tonight. =D

I can relate to the slow, quiet day at work. Not much to talk about though. I've got plans with the kids.

Ahh no!! Boring days at work make me want to eat!!
Its so quiet here today as well. I guess thats because it's Friday afternoon so everyone has gone!
Just another 20 minutes or so and i can sneak off!

Going to make sure i take the puppy on some long walks this weekend. I've got a girls night out tomorrow, so i know im going to be waaay over on calories (damn you Malibu), and Sunday will be bad as a hangover day lol!

On the bright side. Im only 1 pound away from losing my first stone!! Yay. Need to have done that by next Saturday. Im going to be so annoyed if no one from my family mentions anything, i've not seen any of them since i started on here!

I can't think of anything else to blab on about so i'll leave you to your day.

Enjoy the weekend!!

I hear ya, I am pretty unmotivated to work today! Hmmm I am going camping this weekend on Madeline Island, WI and hoping for good weather, even though there's a chance of storms.
We had plans to go camping in northern MN, but since the state government shut down a couple weeks ago, all the state parks are closed (something to google if you don't live in MN since it's probably not huge news everywhere) :P

Happy Friday!

@ SoonersGirl - Wowwie on the 12 inches!! That's amazing! I measure myself once a month. This last month I lost 4 inches in my waist and 2.5 in my hips. Definitely progress. I want to see my damn arms start to shrink, though!!!

@FeverRn - I'm sorry, but that does not sound like my idea of a good time. lol I have skinny veins (one stupid skinny thing on my whole body and it's got to be my veins...Yeah, really helpful......). Every time I get an IV or have to have blood drawn,I en up eiyjw bruise.

@swhitney - plans with the kids sounds fun!

Slow here too with 6 hours to go. Hopefully I can find something fun to do this weekend

Makes me evening plans sound so borish!!!!! Nothng like a good sticking on Friday night!!!

My weight loss goal is to reach 125 lbs. I have lost 107 lbs so far. Only 20 lbs to go. So close but yet so far away!

This week end I have nothing special planned. Oh yeah I do, I have a triples day on Sunday, so I guess I will be doing some major burning!!!! I am on team AJ, formerly Fesse! I love some of the cool names people have came up with for the row the world challenge. "WTF", "Knotty Girls", "Jack SparROW", "shrink or sink".

Have an awesome Day!!!

Must be a slow day for all...it's just as quiet this afternoon over here...which is bad and sooo boring!

Weekend, off to a friends BBQ so that will definately be a challenge to keep on top of calories but thankfully i'm driving so don't have to worry about alcoholic calories!

1 hour to go till the weekend...woop!

aims78

Wakey Wakey! I have to go to work here shortly, we are almost always so busy I can't see straight. This weekend I plan on working more on my new place, and getting it together. I also have a get-together with my baby cousin's b-day party, and I have some old friends coming into town so i will get to visit with them too. I also plan on getting some laundry done and going to the gym on Sunday. See nothing going on with me LOL!

I hope you can stay awake dear!

I have so much weight to lose, I am just hoping to stay on the healthy trail for at least 3 days so i can get a good weigh in on Sunday. Hopefully even longer than 3 days to be honest, but I have my days, especially with emotional eating from time to time.

have a great day!

Well, we have Harry Potter tonight, I can't wait!

And we just decided we are going to the Nascar race in NH! A friend has a cabin where we can stay for free and a few extra tickets. The kids are so excited!

I'm just trying to figure out where and when I am going to get my work outs in.

SueGeer

lol it's held at the local horse racing track. In between races, they race camels and ostriches. It's pretty dang entertaining. We drink, eat and bet pretty much all night.

OMG! That sounds like so much fun! I used to be a skating fiend! My best friend and I went every weekend to the local roller rink for like 6 or 7 years. Great times! I don't know if I could do it now, though. Not so good with balance anymore. :laugh:

It's sllllllooooooooooooooow here too! Must be cus it's Friday and we all have itch to get out!!!

I feel so much better today after the iud yesterday.. but u know what? I would do it again... I hope it all works out for me!!!

Ooh, roller skating, I used to LOVE that! Too bad we don't have a rink close to us... And it's weird but I can't get used to rollerblades.. they hurt my ankles, yet roller skates are fine. I think it's cus the blades are harder and don't let your ankles move around as much

Trying to think of something fun to do tonight......

There is a rink in Superior!

nburns325

I know! I used to go there all the time when I was a kid! But I don't get home as often to visit my parents as I'd like and when I do.. there's just not a lot of time to do that kind of stuff

And we don't have one where I live now

KnottyJen

I think it's so cool that you girls live near one another. Maybe I'll suggest to my Hubby that we go to MN for a camping trip this fall. Although, I know we'd have to camp somewhere other than a state park, since all of that business is going on.

nburns325

I know! We're supposed to help my sweetie's dad next weekend with an endurance ride (horses) but unless the parks reopen by Monday, it's going to have to be cancelled... UGH!

I grew up like 40 min south of where she lives, crazy eh?

Do you ever get up to WI.. where in IL are you? We're going to Door County for Labor Day weekend, it's gorgeous up there! I can't wait! Do a fish boil and do some hiking in the state parks! And then we're going on a trip to Wyoming in August... driving out there and then camping for 7 days... I've never been west of MN (except for Vegas earlier this year, but we flew) and I'm excited to see everything!!!!

I work from home and my dog doesn't talk to me, so it's very quiet here! I'm just counting the hours til quitting time. I am stoked that I'm over halfway to my goal weight & have lost 20 inches overall (I'm going to re-evaluate my goal once I get there). As far as this weekend, we are planning to go to a car show. We have a '72 monte carlo which is a pretty sweet ride, but it doesn't have a/c and it's supposed to be about 100 degrees tomorrow, so maybe I'll sweat off a pound or two.

That is awesome! So how did you do it.. what did you have to cut out and what types of changes did you make to your diet/exercise routines?

KnottyJen

I pretty much never get up to WI, but I live about 50 miles southeast from Beloit on I90, which is just over the Illinois/Wisconsin border.

My family used to vacation in Door County all the time when I was a kid. It is a beautiful place. And Wyoming! Love it there! My hubby and I did a road trip the summer before my senior year in college. We drove from Illinois to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore. Got stuck in a blizzard in SD, so decided to go elsewhere. We went through CO & WY (where Hubby went to school for a year) and then south and stayed in KS the next night. The day after that, we went east and stayed in Louisiana. Stayed there for majority of the next day and ended up staying in Mississippi the next night. And the last day, we drove back to Illinois. It was a pretty serious trip. lol I don't know if I could do it again now. Much older and less willing to sit in the car for that long!

My corporate headquarters are in Beloit, so I'm there pretty frequently! I love DC... I can't wait to get up there again! I just wish we could go more often, but things get so expensive!! It helps that we camp though, so no hotel fees! We;re doing a fish boil at White Gull Inn this time too... I've done them other places, but always heard this is THE place to go, so I'm excited... every other time we've tried to get in, they've been booked solid!

I am looking forward to WY, but kinda anxious aobut all that time in the car too... and about the eating... harder to eat healthy, but we're already planning food, so hopefully won't be too bad.

Chuck E Cheese or the zoo. We haven't made up our minds yet.
