I guess I'm not supposed to do it this way!

punka274

:happy:

so after the day I started with I figured I would feel better if I got up and started doing things around the house. So, I started in the girls bathroom and cleaned it from top to bottom. I got rid of things that hadn't been used in a while and cleaned off the "art" on the wall on the shower. then I went on to our bathroom and did top to bottom there too. I'm finishing the laundry and then I'm gonna start on the kitchen.

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and I hope to get 30 day shred in tonight after the girls go to sleep.

The only bad thing about all this is that I have had 2 cups of coffee a breakfast buritto and 2 servings of smiles fries. (if you don't know what those are check out fitness chicks pictures) she has a picture of them they are soooo cute!!

Love smilie fries!

wow,youv'e been a busy bee today....im tired just reading your post if you want....you can come and clean my bathrooms, i wont mind:laugh: but seriously,i cant seem to get off my butt and clean anything today. I did manage a workout:drinker: burned close to 400 cals:drinker: :smokin:

I can totally relate the the coffee thing. I have been on vaca from work so it has been easier but when I get back to business I have made it a goal to hold myself to one cup of coffee a day.

And to think I just picked up a new espresso machine for the Bat Cave :grumble:

Fantastic! My husband just joined MFP today, but isn't into the whole "message board" thing so I'm challenging him at home. Whatever anti-social boy. *eye roll* If he does show up, feel free to give him crap....I mean, welcome him to the boards. His screen name is IdRatherBeFishing. :indifferent:

I just taught my husband how to Turbo Jam...it wasn't pretty. :noway: :laugh:

Tri_Dad

Great to see ya. I guess you don't have to be Robin if you don't want too. there were four different batmen in the movies so you can be batman too if you want. :bigsmile: Conrgrats on the baby. your pic is hillarious.

Tri_Dad

Well tommorow is officially the end of my vacation....back to the grind...10 hour days with a commute that can be as long as 2 hours each way....sigh....This is about to get a bit harder. Prolly gonna have a mountain of stuff to get caught up on...here comes the stress factor.
Wish me luck

Marla64

yeah! I love black it is slimming :happy: so a :drinker: is on all of us. We can do it.

I DO NOT want a drink on me!!!:bigsmile:

I'm sure there was some sort of drink in what just ended up on me. *gag*. Now I don't want to go back upstairs b/c I know it is a night of 3-in-a-bed...and we only have a FULL!

I know how you feel my oldest used to be a projectile vomiter. we had to go through a ton of different formulas to get her to not vomit and soy was it. but we used to have it all over thank god we had hardwood floors

Okay-- ewwwww.

Marla64

There is that....hmmmm....We could jump shows & Dave could be the Lone Ranger! He was all dressed in black. Or Johnny Cash! LOL

"Batman, Catwomen & Johnny Cash" Now THAT is a team name. HA!

Ooooh but the color black is so mysterious...so we should use initials...How about Midnight BCJC (Batman, Catwomen, Johnny Cash) lol...the other teams will be so jealous! LOL

BCJC make me think Bacon Cheese Jesus Christ. Is something wrong with me?

Ok, this made me pee my pants. Puh-leeze have a little bit of pity on us older women and our weak PC muscles ...



No wait ...

Girl, I have 3 babies...I KNOW the muscle issue! You get total sympathy from me! LOL

please-- try having nine-- sneezes, coughs, laughs, tears, tickles-- you name it.

Marla64

Hi-dee-hi friends and neighbors ... huh ... that is in my head and I don't remember where it is from!?!

Just a quick good morning before I shut down my fun stuff and get back to work ... gots to be done early today because the doc I type for is leaving the country ... which means time off for me SOON ... YAY!

I sent my weight to Samantha this morning but might as well bite the bullet and put it here, too ... right? It was 195.2 ... which means my ticker is lying by 2 pounds but dadgumit ... I'm not changing it back!! :grumble: :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Have a great day Black Teamers!!

Isn't that Wilson from Home Improvement? Tim's neighbor?

My scale read 176 on weigh-in day which I submitted to Samantha-- and 175 today. We hosted a ton of people today-- and I probably nibbled a bit too much, but not to fear-- lots of days before Wednesday.

Marla64

Okay-- so call me a dark child, but I must confess on occasion I'd find myself rooting for the Penguin or King Tut to go ahead and let the Pendulum swing down and chop Batman and Robin in half-- those two always got on my nerves.

Marla64

okay-- off to bed-- glad I finally found this thread. Sheesh-- you guys have been active. Take a couple days off to host family and you miss a bunch around here.

Anybody up for a tummy challenge? I keep forgetting to get my backside on the floor for my crunches every night-- or I remember and am too tired/lazy to do it. My pouch is still flubbula/wubbula-- anyone game to set some challenges?

Nytol!!!!!!!!!

That is a COOL idea! We have what, 20 players? IF we all take a week for a challenge, we will get to the end of the game.

Hey guys, just had to share! I weighed in this morning and I am .8 pounds lighter than I was PRE-Christmas...that means all my Christmas weight is gone, plus almost another whole pound! (and thankfully my ticker rounded the way I wanted it to, and it finally got to MOVE... I never put in my gain because I knew that would send me off the deep end so it's been stuck at 58 pounds for awhile)...

Anyway...I already gave my info to Sam for this week, but next week I should (hopefully) show a BIG loss...yay!

I am going back to work this afternoon for the first time after I was confronted on Wednesday about the situation that wasn't my fault at all...so I am a bit afraid of what is going to happen...but thank you for all the prayers...I appreciate them!

Let us know how everything goes ... definitely thinking about you & praying here!

Spyguy ... is that your drawing? Awesome!! You have some loooong days between commutes & work . That is really a rough schedule.

I'm going dancing for probably three hours tonight (swing dance lesson with my daughter & son-in-law and then open dance) so I'll get a good workout in ... last time I burned almost 1200 calories in one evening according to dear F6. We're headed down to their house in a little while so I must get off my tushie and get some things done first ...

Everybody ... I wish I could reply to each one this morning but I don't have time! I hope to have some more time to catch up with folks tomorrow ...

Love the idea of taking weeks for challenges! Later y'all!!

GO BLACK!! :glasses:

I do have a question....what kind of food scales do you guys use? Ive got an old timey one...I want to get a digital one.

The food scale I use is actually a postal scale that I bought at Wal-Mart for about $20 several years ago when I was sending care packages and letters to deployed service members. It got to be a pain to get to the post office and find that my package was a tenth of an ounce larger than I was expecting and have to pay extra postage. So I got this scale to weigh my letters and packages. I'm not sending care packages any more (now ex husband was Army...hurts too much to be sending packages and things right now) so I use it for my food. It has a 3 pound capacity, and it's very exact because it is intended to measure the difference between a one ounce letter that will cost 42 cents to mail and a 1.1 ounce letter that will cost more. I probably wouldn't have bought this scale strictly for food if I had been in the market for a food scale, but I love it and can't imagine using an actual food scale now.

Tresa - have fun dancing with the dd & dsil! Shake that booty, baby!

Amelia - I LOVE my digital scale. I think it is a Homedics. The old fashioned dial one I had made me lose my mind trying to count all the little lines so I'm glad I switched to this one!

Laura - Rock on about the weight loss! I'm so excited for you! Also, I'll be praying for your work situation. I hope they figured out it wasn't you & things blow over quickly.

Jeannie - I thought it was a pretty good idea, too! And creative people like you & Laura can cover the other weeks if dolts like me can't think of anything good. LOL
