    Hello everyone,
    Happy early Halloween!!! Me and hubby are going to a party tomorrow night. Eve is spending the night at grandparents house. I'm not sure who is more excited the grandparents or Eve or us for that matter. Then Sunday, taking her around in her costume to visit friends and family. She is going as a giraffe, she is SOOOOO cute, I could almost eat her. Will post a pic soon.
    Everything is going fine. Gym is going great. Getting to the point, I want to go and on my non-off days, if I can't go I get upset. Hope that feeling stays around for a while longer. Eating has been good too. With upping my protein, I noticed the weight is coming off a little better. Hope to be out of the 20's soon. Then hello teens!!! Its been 6 years since I was in the teens. Then when onederland hits, it would have been 11 years. Man I can't wait!!!
    Hope everyone is having a great Friday and check back in later.
    Julie

    Good evening my Friday fitness friends. So, my daughter apologized when I got home last night. She was really very sweet in her apology. I guess I will keep her after all.

    Today was crazy busy but it will all be over by the end of the weekend. I have to say that I am so impressed by the jack-o-lanterns the students did. I was lucky that the venue let us set up today so there isn't much left to do tomorrow. I am just really nervous because back in February when I was named as the chair this year I went to the board and proposed we change everything about it this year. Usually it is held the first weekend in December and the auction is for Christmas trees decorated my local celebrities. I kind of had to fight to change it. But so far with the "ticket sales" and those that aren't coming but sent in donations we have already raised $322,000. Last years total was $400,000 so I think I am looking good for beating that this year as we have some phenomenal items for the auction. So, one of the volunteers that was there today suggested that we do a flash mob dance tomorrow night. Well, we gathered about 30 people and started figuring out a dance. We were not very good. The leader of the band happened to be there today and suggested doing it opposite. So, tomorrow night when the band is playing "Time Warp" from Little Shop of Horrors which they will play at 9:30 right about the middle of the song they are going to stop playing for 1 minute and all 30 of us that were there today are going to just freeze no matter what we are doing. Then the band will start up again. I think it will be fun, So, I did not eat enough today but it is 9pm here and I am giong to bed soon.

    Have a great night and I probably wont get a chance to check in tomorrow but I'll be back on Sunday.

    So yesterday was crap crap CRAP CRAP CRAP (I'm sure you get the picture...). TOM arrived without an invitation. I was marking for most of the day and let me tell you, parked on the couch with 40 poorly written projects on Thailand is not condusive to sticking to the diet plan. I munched, I ate, I grazed, I pigged out...and then we went out to dinner with my cousins who were in town. The only upside there is they took us to the most pretenious restaurant where the food looked really pretty, was ridiculously small and overpriced (put it this way, I ordered scallops with a pumpkin puree and bacon as my main...I got 3 scallops for £20).

    Anyways, I'm grumpy today and out to lunch with my BFF. I see some major *****ing in my future. Did zumba, didn't feel it. Hope to be in a better mood when I get home and play wii just dance.

    Later Losers.

    my hubbie is going to get me a T-shirt saying "Of course these are fake - my first pair tried to kill me!" He giggles every time he sees one and has to tell everyone that saying. Though I have no clue where I would wear a shirt like that.

    After all you've been through, I'd wear that t-shirt EVERYWHERE!!!

    Bonnie, I sent you a message on your wall, but I think the cut and your smile are super cute in that pic!

    Stacie, isn't Time Warp from the Rocky Horror Picture Show? I'm trying to think of both versions of Little Shop of Horros, and I can't remember Time Warp. Neither here nor there, just had my brain rummaging through all its file cabinets...lol I think your auction/party sounds fantabulous...are you taking pics, so we can see and pretend we were there???

    Steph, I get those days too where everything that happens just makes me want to *****! Or turns me into one. Luckily that feeling doesn't usually last more than a couple of days, and most of the time less than that.

    Becky, we miss you!

    Speaking of missing...has anyone heard from Sara? I was going through my friends list and she hasn't logged on in almost two weeks, so I was wondering if anyone had heard from her and if she's ok.

    So, I'm beginning to have mixed feelings about this whole IUD thing. I don't have a TOM, but I have the rest of the symptoms???? WTF??? Yeah, I got on the scale last night just to see and it had the balls to say 307.8 WHAT?!?!?!? Get back on this morning and it's 304.8 WHAT?!?!?! Just 3 days ago, I was at 298. That and my boobs are killing me...****!!! Sorry if that was TMI everyone, but I just needed to vent. I guess the worst part is that I can't even begin to track or guess when it will happen because there's never a grand finale, just this total feeling of my body going haywire. OK, end rant.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    still in a major grump. Not helping self with food choices. Does the day ever come where we just eat and don't think 'oh god look at the calories in that, I shouldn't have had that'???? I know what I'm doing to myself, I do it everytime I have a big loss. Somewhere in my demented little brain I think, I can relax, I lost that without it being really hard. But now the guilt is there and the knowledge that I've had almost 2 crappy days in a row now. All being exasperated by just feeling exhausted. Sorry. Rant over

    Welcome to hell Missy. ;)

    Stephy
    -- I am so with you in Funky town. :P I don't want to be here. Haven't we earned our ****ing get out of jail free pass yet? I mean holy hell? and yeah. I've had 17 years of homebody... May you not end up like me. Don't give in. Drag him kicking and screaming. 5 minutes is better than nothing. I should never have given up so easily ;). I love mine too. But daym. ;P


    So let the *****fest begin. WHAT THE **** PEOPLE It's been since Uh hmm ****ing August since I've lost a precipitous amount of weight. I eat very little. I don't cheat. I record it all in the damn journal. I exercise till I feel ready to puke & my muscles want to secede from the union of their homeland and nothing. Not a ****ing budge. Keep my protein up, drink my water. Nothing. Not a drop. Not a ****ing nudge.
    Frustration? Are you kidding me? If a god damn Dodo bird walked up to me right this moment and pecked me on the head I'd be less ****ing shocked than if I woke up tomorrow and found out I'd lost weight. Eat more food everyone says. You should eat more than 1200 calories. You should eat like 1600 or 1800. That didn't mother ****ing work either god ****ing dammit!!! All that did? That reminded me HOW MUCH I MOTHER ****ING LIKE FOOD. Thanks. thanks a lot. I was happy in my deprivation land of 800 calories a day. I doubt I'll get back there any time soon. :P

    Son.Of.A.*****. What to do. Well I could log on here and piss and moan every day about how much my weight hasn't changed. But I figured you guys could pretty much read the ****ing ticker and figure that **** out for yourselves. I haven't gained weight. it's not like I'm up 25 lbs and hiding it. I got on the scale this morning it said 360.0. Now sure, I could log that .4 lb gain. But really? Really? I can lose .4 lbs in a good morning pee, so can you all.

    I took my measurements today wondering what the hell. At least that would give me something to do right? So changes from October 1st. *clears throat* Here we go.
    Neck: Same (S)
    Waist (-2 inches)
    Hips (-4 inches)
    Left thigh (-2 inches) Right thigh (-1 inch) (they're now only 1 inch apart)
    left bicep (-1.5 inches) right bicep (-3 inches) (all batflap baby)
    chest (-.25 inch (maybe)) Bra cup (-1.5 inches) Had to happen sooner or later ;) Poor Erik

    So ****'s moving out. I know it is, because every time I go into to PT the guys are like you look amazing. And I"m like "thank you" and I keep thinking, wtf I haven't changed in 3 ****ing months. Then I got out the body chart.... Since the beginning of August I have lost 7" in my Waist, 10" in my hips, 7" left thigh, 6" right thigh, 3.5" left arm, 5" right arm (guess who's right handed), 2.75" chest, 5" bra cup, and a full inch in my neck.

    So Is the High Protein, lots of water working? I'd say yes, yes it ****ing is. Is it working like it should and making me lose weight. No, no it most definitely is not. Is it converting every ****ing adipocyte in my body to muscle fiber. Yes APPARENTLY it ****ing is. Apparently I am secretly body building under my outer fat sheath like god damn Arnold ****ing Schwarzenegger. It's the only thing I can explain. I have no other information to go on. **** is getting smaller. Weight is staying the same. The only other thing I can tell you is this as my parting example.

    I put on pantyhose today that were made for someone weighing 300-335 lbs supposedly with hips 60"-70" and 5'4-5'9 (I'm 5'7) and hips are now 58.5. And yeah they were lose on me. Apparently at my weight my hips are supposed to be bigger. The next size down 5'7-6'0, 50-60" hips, 250-300lbs. Is what I'm going to have to get.

    And that brings me to my other example. All the clothes from my late high school/early college years 87-91 that I just unpacked and am now wearing. I couldn't wear before when I was 300 lbs, they were too tight, and I'm still at 360 :P So what the **** is going on here. There is some ****ed up **** I am telling you people... I don't know what it is... but yeah... ****ed up.

    Good Morning Lovelies!
    I'm in a much better place today (which is a bit of surprise given the fact that, sigh, its the last day of holidays and tomorrow we go back to school). I'm in such a good place then when I found out it was a 17minute wait for a bus, I decided that I would run to the main road where there are more busses. So I quite comfortably ran the 1.3km. Hmmmmm maybe my trainer was right...I could do a 10k in May.....hmmmm.....something to ponder. I would have ran the whole way to the gym but pouding the pavement hasn't happened in a while and my knees were not entirely impressed with the effort. Got in a good workout at the gym as well.

    The rest of the day is about me. I'm thinking stitiching, bubble bath, web chat with my sister, make some new earrings and my favourite telly shows. Hope you all have a great Sunday!

    Alrighty peeps, I am going to try to play some catch-up... now that I actually have a little bit of time (yaaaay for me!) :drinker:

    Stephanie- I hope the doctors can help you out, I know you want to have babies so bad! Also, I am with you on being a grumpy butt lately, TOM tends to be a big *kitten* to me too. Also, AWESOME about this morning! Look at how far you have come, I have no doubt you could do that 10K!! Ohh.. and congrats on being out of the 250's!!

    Cynthia- I love you and your posts... I ALWAYS look forward to seeing what you have to say about everything. You give me a kick in the butt when I need it (and even when you don't even know you have done it)... you're just awesome like that :wink: Oh.. and about my trainee... training on Law, Fire and Medical.. and calltaking. I've had the trainee for 6 months now, she's doing well there's just SOOOO much to learn here and it's impossible to have every scenario while in training. But, needless to say... I'll be glad to be trainee-free!

    Renae- Did you say your birthday is this weekend?? Also, congrats on passing up the donuts not once, but twice. I'll bet they smelled yummmyyy

    Eileen- Glad you got to meet with your surgeon and you guys are on the same page about everything.. and that you have a good timeline of everything. Also, congrats on being out of the 250's too!!

    Bobbie- Yay for the sweater fitting well, that has got to be such a good feeling!! Also, good luck with your IUD. Everyone that I know that has one has had no problems. When I had one, I had nothing but problems. I still got my period. I spotted for about 10 days after s-e-x... so basically I bled every day of every month lol. I finally decided to get it taken out, I instantly felt better. I had also become an emotional wrecking ball lol. I was one of the "bad" statistics. Lucky me lol

    JJ- Wish your mom would be more supportive, I know that can be disheartening. Just remember we are all here for you and will support you no matter what!!

    Julie- You will make it to your goal, you are such an inspiration! I love all of your good, hard workout... very motivational!!

    MrsDuck- Glad you got to pamper yourself!!

    Staci- Hope you had a good weekend. As soon as I read about your daughter, I thought about the Martina McBride song "Teenage Daughter" lol

    Becky- Glad that you're alive :flowerforyou:

    As for me, I have finally broke out of my BLAHHHs (I hope so anyway) I hit the 60lb mark when I weighed in on Friday!! I was hoping to hit it by Nov 10th, I am very happy to have hit that goal a little earlier. Now, I MUST stay out of my 3 year old's candy Monday night. I may treat myself if there's a Reese's cup in there... but that's it... I promise. I'll log it if I do lol. So anyway, I am 11 lbs from my halfway point... so I have a small goal set. I do better with small goals, the big picture scares me.

    Oh.. and I had an NSV yesterday! My bestie gave me a Columbia zip-up that's a size Large. I thanked her and told her I looked forward to when I could wear it, hopefully by Christmas. Well, I tried it on last night. It zipped... and I could breath! It's a little snug, I can see a fat roll so I will probably hold off on wearing it out in public for a little while, but IT FIT! :happy: I'll try to post a pic of it. It's very form-fitting (it's not supposed to be lol).. but it doesn't look too bad. I am sooo self-conscious, wonder if I'll ever NOT be?? Anyways, like I said... I won't be wearing it out yet... but soon! I cannot honestly recall the last time that I wore a size Large ANYTHING. So, even the fat that it zipped and I could breath felt sooo good :smile:

    Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!

    Well...I am glad this months challenge is almost over. I slipped in the dark on the way into the house. Being the Pacific Northwest and having mossy build up our courtyard is dangerous sometimes. I was planning to power wash it this weekend, but my weekend doesnt start til tomorrow. Long story short I ended up doing the splits and twisted my bad knee some. As if that wasn't bad enough, I was late coming home because I stayed at the shop to teach a class and then stay with someone who was having trouble. I scrape myself off the pavement, limp in the front door and have mom and my daughter both staring at me angrily, because there was no dinner made and it was almost 8pm. I bite my tongue, and go to the freezer to pull out something simple to make and realize that whoever was the last to put something in the dishwasher had "not seen" my note to please start it and there were no clean frying pans to heat up the pasta. That was it. I told them I was going to go soak in the bath and then going to bed and they were on their own. They both acted like I had done them wrong, but I just left before I said something I would regret. But I really had to bite my tongue. Can one adult and one almost adult seriously not figure out how to make themselves a sandwich when it gets to be 7pm and there is no dinner started? Seriously? I had a good cry in the bath and am now in bed. Anyhoo....my knee is swelling up and I am sure it will be some interesting colors tomorrow. I am glad it happened to me and not my mom, daughter or a trick or treater tomorrow, but OUCH!

    Laney, its good to see you here!

    Steph, I am glad you rounded a corner and are feeling more your usual cheerful self. I know its hard to wait for the magic to happen, and I just know you are on the right track with losing weight to get your body in the right "mood" to conceive. Until then, keep practicing with the hubby!

    Cyn, I already found Bento & Co and Casa Bento as well as JBox which is JList's bento site. Ooops. Found Mickey Mouse egg molds and well...he used to be my boss, so I had to get them. And then the weight vs clothes thing. SAME THING WITH ME!! I am wearing clothes now that I used to wear when I weighed 40 pounds less. I am not losing any weight either but I am losing inches. I think you are right and we are becoming all muscley underneath the blubber layer. Just gotta shed the blub and we will be rockin! Thats my story that is keeping me going anyways.

    Staci, I hope you had an awesome evening and a lazy day recovering from it. I can't wait to hear the details, see the phots and hear how much more you raised than last year. Oh! And how much the Dave Matthews Band thingie went for!

    Dang, JJ, your evening just went from bad to bad to GRRRRR! I constantly have to ask myself the same question about teenage girls and my mother. Do they have to be told step by step to turn on the dishwasher or to clean up their room or to make something for dinner if it's 7PM and I'm not home? It's amazing to me, and not in a good way. Anyway, I hope your knee is not too sore tomorrow nor all the colors of the rainbow! Be careful and think patient thoughts.

    All I'm going to say is .. OH my ****ing god. My *kitten* did the squirmy antsy pants dance when I read your post I had to get up and shake the willies out. Auuuugh it's still dancing in my head. I swear to god if I lived closer I'd drive over personally right now and strop the living **** out of both your mother and daughter till they cried holy hell for mercy. Not, "Mom why are you limping?" Not, "Oh dear, you seem to be injured here, sit let me get you an ice pack."
    What the flying *kitten* monkey ****. *blinks incredulously* Oh how I love your ability to shunt it aside. You know that **** would be flying with me. LOL. I hope. HOPE. That by morning it's gone down (swelling) and feels better. If not, you know what you gotta do. RICE it. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. My abs are killing me but because I know you're down momma bear. You've got an extra hour of dance time tonight out of me. Get better okay?

    Lane
    I always meant to ask if you did all 3 services.. LV we had separation of services. I only did PD. EMT & Fire I shunted to Fire Dispatch, which was nice, but had to conference in if I thought there would be danger to the guys when they rolled medical. Now I gotta ask, do you do classroom learning before they pop your trainees out on the floor or do they just say "here ya go!" Oh lord that would be even more distressing. We had like 20 weeks of classroom and simulation training, then early sit-alongs for an hour here and there for experience. Final test then kicked out to our trainers. Minimum of one trainer (6 weeks) before you could be released ROR, but only for 911. If you did dispatch then you had at least another 6 week trainer for radio. I didn't do dispatch because I knew it was like being thrown to the lions and I could 'reup" in a couple months for that job no sweat once I had com-op down. So I still had a 2nd trainer, but got cut halfway through that one, because first trainer honestly was so nervous she freaked my **** out. Second one, you could have fired a cannon next to her and she'd have lit her cig on the fuse ;) LOL. Glad your penance is almost done ;) Does this clear you for a couple years I hope? LOL And glad you're doing well darling... I say on the jacket it's 'incentive clothing'. That's what I call my tight size 26 jeans I bought. It encourages me to not eat the nummies. So I say wear the jacket. Especially working out. :D Incentive wear. :D

    Oh and JJ did you see the Nori face makers on the Jbox site then? OH holy **** it's cuts faces out of the nori sheets to let you put it on the eggs. I almost had an apoplectic fit when I saw that. I might have to break down and order those. Dammit. that'll just break the jlist floodgates. *sobs* ;) Enjoy

    Oh and you might have noticed... Purple hair ;)

    I'll do the mohawk and makeup for tomorrow ;)

    Happy Monday!

    JJ - I went to a Japanese Steakhouse this weekend and had a children's serving of a tempura bento box. It was delish!

    Renae - Congrats on the scale movement! Snow? I can wait a little bit longer for it!

    Bonnie - I think that Steph is covering November. It is posted in the other thread.

    Julie - Can't wait to see the pics! When my daughter was that young I dressed her as a skunk! Tee-hee! Maybe that is why I get so much attitude nowadays......

    Staci - Sounds like your gala was a tremendous success! Great job!

    (((Becky))) - Missed you!

    Steph - That is the main reason that I couldn't teach. I could not stand reading and grading all the homework! Hoping you have a better week this week!

    Bobbie - I know that I should but I will be a tad embarrassed. Maybe I'll wear it to pick the kids up....... I hope that you are feeling better and the IUD gets sorted out.

    Cynthia - Sooo to fulfill your geeky side. Yes they are to stretch the muscles. They will have ports to the sides that I will have to go in weekly and get injected with an ounce or so of saline until I reach the size I like and then go over a bit. Right now I am concave (sorry if TMI) because they took practically everything in surgery. The first couple weeks will be the worst and after that it should just be tender.
    - Look at those measurements go down! Way to go!

    Laney - Awesome NSV! Before you know it medium will be just comfy!

    JJ - I hope that your knee is feeling better! As for family, well nobody every gets to choose family. Let's just say I know what you are going through!

    As for me, I dropped off 26 crobbies at the yarn shop on Friday which should hold them for a couple weeks. I am taking a break and making an afghan but then I will get back to them. Saturday went shopping with the MIL, carved pumpkins, and wrapped Christmas presents with the MIL. She wants the tree up the weekend before Thanksgiving. Sunday I watched movies and crocheted. This morning I went to the gym at 5am before work. First day did 20 min of walking (3.5mph), 20 min strength, and 15 min of biking. I am sooo proud of myself. Hopefully tomorrow will be just as good.

    Have a Magnificent Monday!

    Cynthia, you'll be happy to know that I just drank some truly disgusting soya protein foulness with my lunch, in your name. It was gross, but perhaps more important that the nasty furry protein it's just stuck in my gullet.... it has quite a high iron content (and iron has been something I've been worrying a little about lately).

    I'll try to drink this foul substance after my workouts, but I'm not promising anything!

    Happy Halloween - love this holiday but I wish it were going to be about 20 degrees warmer tonight for trick or treating! We got 9" of snow Saturday night and lost power for 24hrs. Thriller huh?? At any rate, my 47th BDay was awesome. My girls made me breakfast in bed, DH had taken them shopping and they bought me a beautiful watch and he picked out new sneakers for me. I love that man. He always knows what to buy me and has great taste. I went out for a 3 mile run in some very cold temperatures but it felt great to be able to do that on my birthday. In the evening we had 5 other couples over for drinks (I made Mango Halloween Margarita's) and all went out for a fancy dinner while the 12 kids stayed at our place and played in the snow. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Probably the best birthday I've had in years. It helps that I feel younger than ever.

    Sounds like everyone is plugging away on here. I'm in the same boat as a few of you with not dropping lbs, but I am feeling thinner & wearing a smaller size thenI used to wear when I was 20lbs lighter than I am now.??? Hoping that I've lost inches - I'll have to take some measurements in the morning.

    Tons to get done today. Promise yourself a good week this week. HUGS

    Julie that picture just melts my heart!!!

    Its been another rough day. My wagon just seems to be dragging my along. I know I'm in a for a gain this week. That said, the medication I take for TOM always seems to have that effect. Next week I am away on a 5 day geography trip to Dorset. 24 hours a day of teenage girls (I can already here myself saying 'be quiet, go to sleep'!!). I should be able to log in but will probably be quite quiet on the boards. The worst part is I know what the food is like there. Its hearty. We are outside being physical all day so they like to feed us up. Its gonna be a real challenge. However, I am hoping to get up the courage to try some of the activities like zipline and trapeze. I've always avoided them cause, well I figure the harness wouldn't fit and that I would break the equipment.

    Feeling really rough today. I did not get enough sleep last night and therefore am feeling rather sickly. I hope you are all having a great day.
