    Welcome new ones.. Can't remember anyone's name but this is a great TEAM...

    Love ya all...
    Fantastic TEAM, I always look forward to Fridays cuz of the scale, and I can slack off a bit. I'm increasing my distance to 2 mi on Monday, and fortunately this week my weight didn't increase. My mantra seems to be slow and easy with no injuries for my PT test in April. No change in weight. Have a terrific Saturday....Zano
    Thanks for the invite to do your floors, did I mention I only do tear downs. I'll leave the install to the professionals!

    Good morning, ya'll. Well I managed to stay off the scale this morning... but I looked at it alot! ha! I went over on my calories last night, we stayed up late for the BSG finale, and I was just wanting food... didn't go over a whole lot (still under using my deficit calories) but oh well. Will work it off at the gym today!

    Today we're taking the boys to Build A Bear... wonder how that's gonna go!

    CM- Hubby was talking with a realtor down in Port Saint Lucie to find out about property taxes. He asked him how much property taxes would be on a 2400sq ft home, which is just a bit smaller than what we have now. Its like $5500 a year! ouch! Our prop taxes here are about 2500 a year and we have the biggest lot in our subdivision. THEN... yesterday he tells me that after you have lived there for a year, you can apply for a homestead break on taxes which cuts them almost in 1/2. Im assuming they do this to sort out the residents from the vacation home owners. I dunno. Either way, we still have some penciling to do to see if its worth it.

    I slept like a log last night. Crawled in bed around 8:30ish and watched a movie, then out like a light! My alarm went off at 7:00 this morning and I still wanted to sleep but had to get up because the kiddos were due to arrive at 7:30. My nose was all snuffly and sinuses were achy....did I say I HATE allergies?? :grumble: Got up and had my motrin and benadryl and now I feel good... just still sleepy. Aunt flo arrived a week early. Showed up this morning which has me completely perplexed but also could be the reason Im only showing a 1lb loss this week. Who knows! Im stayin off the scale regardless for the remainder of the week.. LOL

    No gym for me today and no workout! Im takin the day off. I have the little ones till 5pm, then have to drop my youngest off at a friends house for a slumber party. Then Im off to watch my oldest run the 800m race at 5:45.

    I am disappointed the scale did not move but had so many successes in exercise. I had the energy to do intervals on the treadmill and add extra time to my workouts this week. I am still doing the sit up challenge and started the push ups too (girlie ones). I have to work like crazy but am completing the sets. I NEVER thought I could do 157 crunches..:love:

    No gym for me either - today and tomorrow are rest days! I earned them :bigsmile:

    I would like to say Good Afternoon Team,

    I went to the dr's today and he did the biopsy went pretty good he did some smears right there and he sends the others off but he said It looks good and that I shouldnt worry but he wants me to get a mamogram and an ultrasound just to be safe.. but so far everything looks okay... so that is good news so far... The other good news is I got on the scale there and it said I am 308 and I asked him what I weighed in Febuary and he said 327pounds WOW he said Keep up the good work I am so excited... 8 more pounds and i will be under 300... Yeah.. well Today has been very busy for me but i am going to drop my sister off and go do cardio then go pick her back up... I am excited about my lost more pounds... I usually only weigh my self at the drs on the same scale everytime... I dont want one at my house cuz I would be watching it all the time... and you would be driving by my house LOL I cant wait til next friday... :drinker:

    Thanks guys for all the prayers..

    Sheila

    Sheila and healthymom, I just love hearing from you both every day. You have such positive attitudes.

    Sheila, you always "Bring It". You don't worry about other people, you have your eye on the prize, you look at your successes, you thank the people in your life who are on your side. You show gratitude every day. You relish your compliments - (well deserved, BTW). You are one woman who I know is going to succeed at your task.

    So many people here on this site blame others and look for excuses and complain about everything. I am so grateful to have met you and to have you in our group. You are truly an inspiration.:flowerforyou:
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    healthymom, you always acknowledge your disappointment, but immediately turn it into what is Good in your Journey. You are able to see progress when many only see the scale number as their progress. All kinds of things are measureable, and you have discovered that.

    Here's my whine: pushups are haaaaard.......turnen1.gif Good for you for adding them to your workout! And, yep, I'm still stuck on "girlie" ones too. I have to keep starting over on Week One because I stop doing them for three days.....you know to only do pushups every-other-day, right? I was trying to do them every day, and Marla64 finally set me on the right path.
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Adopt4, good job on the "no scale" restraint!

    Anita, you will be okay, the scale does not define who you are. therethere.gif
    However, where are the blond pictures? :wink:
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Get_Fit and Zano - Welcome back.
    And Get_Fit, they would have to pay me $1 to go to a 5AM spinning class....:noway: twilight-zone.gif
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Li4g, I'm glad you got a good night's sleep, and that you are taking a day off. Your body really needs two days off a week, so enjoy!

    Homestead exemption is exactly what you said. There is no state income tax in Florida, so many people from Georgia and the Carolinas and elsewhere have second homes in Florida to escape the taxes in their home states.
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    Chanty, school on Saturday? In the U.S. we don't have no stinkin' school on Saturday! wait.gif



    Where is Kristi? I'm going to have to go after her...............:grumble:

    I'm ba-a-ack!

    Hello, team, I missed you!! Last time I checked in was Friday with the dismal results of the plateau. (Thanks to Get_fit, I can spell it!) However, I am undaunted. And, you guys ROCK!!! You_Rock_Emoticon.gif Good luck losers, and you know I mean it in the most positive way!! Welcome new folks! Glad to have you.

    And, CM - a heartfelt thanks for coming looking. So, everyone, as you know, because I have been whining about it, I had a rough week at work. Relapses, trauma survivors remembering terrible stuff, you name it... So, Friday night, I just came home and collapsed with a book, rather than hopping on the threads to see who I could harass. Then, this morning, my darn internet was AWOL again. This afternoon, I took my mom and sis to a girls afternoon out. We had brunch in a lovely place called the Oasis, then shopped in an impromptu farmers market (slim pickins, but local stuff). Tomatos that taste like summertime. I love good tomatoes! So, I got home, the internet had returned like magic and all was right with the world again.

    Oh, I forgot to mention, I cheated yesterday. :embarassed:

    I had a Dr. Pepper and some popcorn to celebrate my plateau, apparently. :embarassed: ::frown:

    So not worth it. So, I am making some course corrections and am back in the saddle.

    Speaking of being back in the saddle - sorry about the mess. :embarassed: I will get the horse out of here right now.

    Love you guys!!!!!

    Hellooooo?? pallapv9-1.gif

    [Sits down, sighs.] No one here? [sighs again] Where has everyone gone? I have had to resort to horning on on conversations in other threads. Have learned about the wonders of Fage, however, which seems exciting. Hope everyone is well. See you soon!

    :heart: Kristi
