Happy Memorial Day, my wonderful Black Team!
Lynnie, Lori- I'm sorry to laugh, but that's pretty damn funny about your dogs. My 9-pound cat goes in her box, but I swear her farts are worse than the product. She smells like a big giant dog sometimes.
Marla- I don't run after dark, but I can definitely agree about the early morning runs. I got out there yesterday around 8 and the sun was BLAZING. Think I like my early evenings much better.
Lori- Glad you had a good time with your friends. Time with old buddies is always a good thing.
Andrew- Sorry you have to work. Hopefully people keep themselves out of your store!
Janie- Glad you are starting to feel better, and I hope you get your energy back soon
Off to continue my lazy day, talk to you all later!0 -
Hey team--
Wow-- went for a run this morning, about 11:30-- 70+ degrees, a bit humid, and sunny-- I felt like my legs weighed 1,000 pounds.
I'd only intended to run two miles since hubs and I are running tonight, as well-- but, I stopped halfway through the second lap-- unreal. Heart was a-flutterin' with my mitral valve nonsense, couldn't breathe-- I am SO not a sunlight runner.
So I ran a mile and a half and then walked a half mile. What a weenie.
Must be said I have, uh, feminine issues as well which totally saps my strength-- great to be nearly 45, dontcha know-- :grumble: -- so I'm always drop-dead exhausted during that anyway--
In-laws were here for dinner, but then didn't stay--
Yes, that makes no sense-- but, then again, neither do my in-laws-- they came intending to stay for dinner, got here around 2 and told us they hadn't even had breakfast-- ( and there's no Meals on Wheels in their area--
) so we fixed them some eggs for brunch. Then they tell us about 5:00, after we'd been watching the online golf progress of Sarah (who's in Arizona at a tourney) that, "Well, see ya-- "
But, they're coming back tomorrow for the chicken we were supposed to have today--
Does anybody make sense of any of this?
No, me neither-- life as a Brown-- always keeps you hopping. :noway:
Heading to type a bit-- had a great relaxing day. Sarah shot -3 under today, even par yesterday and is three shots behind the leader, in solo 3rd place, going into the final round tomorrow-- go Sarah.
Later, troops--
Sounds like my inlaws!! Very flakey and wishey washey!!LOL0 -
Ugh!! Fell off the wagon yesterday, kids wanted to go to their favorite pizza place for dinner, I made them eat white pie with veggies and a salad. They are tired of the dieting thing. I felt like I can't keep them away every now and then from their favorite place to eat. My daughter who is 5'5 and weighed 126 is now 116. Guess I need to put a little bit on her bones. She is a cheerleader, so I guess I need to amp up her calorie intake before she looks anorexic.lol. They just don't get any junk food in the house no more, so they have no choice but to eat healthy snacks. Now my son can put away salad like there is no tomorrow. Wish I could lose like them! I hope I ate ok yesterday and it doesn't hinder my weight loss. Also I haven' t been able to excersise all weekend due to work. I feel crappy when I don't get to go to the gym. I will make up for it today!!! Happy Memorial Day today. Hopefully my food choices will be better. We are having a ham picnic....should be interesting. Love all my black teamers. Leilani0

Lovely people, don't get me wrong-- I adore 'em-- but, uh, yeah, flaky and wishy-washy for sure.0 -
Hello fellow teammates! The weather here is dreadful. Supposed to rain all week long so no outside play for me! (Or my wild 4 year old!) So I get to find some ways to exercise in the house. Guess it's time to break out the eliptical machine again and some Jillian Michaels videos. I hope you are all having a great day! Happy Memorial Day Black team!
Andrew sorry to hear you are working today. I know that sucks!
Janie get better soon!
Lynnie and Lori I think I would cry if my animals pooed on my scales. Now my overweight cat uses mine for a seat! Every single day! Lol!
Leilani have a great picnic today!
Way to go runners! Ya'll are awesome! Told my hubby I am ready to get started! Is it a sign that I don't need to since it is raining for a whole week straight? I sure hope not because I wanna be a RUNNER!!
Everyone else have a great day! I will be stalking today!!0 -

Hey all!!!
Marla - I hope Sarah wins! That's so exciting!!!!
So i figured out what's up with my scale....
TOM. :mad: :sad: :grumble: :noway:
I'm on the Depo Provera shot so I don't usually get them. Last time was like 6 months ago, and that was only because i got my shot late. but I'm thinking it's probably because of the sudden increase in physical activity. I'm still mad. :mad:
Just trying to eat as little sodium and drink as much water as possible to wash away all this bloat and hopefully still put a number up on Wednesday.
Hope everyone's having a great day! I'll check in later.0 -
Marla--- good vibes headed your way!0

How exciting! Wishing her the best of luck! BTW, she's gorgeous! But then, apple trees make apples so this is no surprise. :happy:0 -
Checking in for a Marla update on golfing.....
My head is mentally back in the taking care of myself game, now if my hand would stay out of food and my mouth would stop opening up for it life would be grand.0 -

:ohwell: Fudgesicles--
Sarah left her birdie putt one foot short on her second playoff hole, and her opponent drained hers--
She lost in a playoff.
Good news is, she's a lock for the Junior Solheim Cup this summer--
Strong outing for her. Couple too many bogeys, though-- :ohwell:
Thanks for watching her-- she'll be disappointed, but this is her second second place finish in a "major" this year, so all in all, not bad.0 -
Sorry she didn't win Marla but sounds like she still did pretty good! Congrats to her! And yea we were stalking the threads waiting on some news.0

You must be a proud mama lady. That girl of yours does some great stuff on a golf course. I love golf but never play. That and I kinda suck. Look forward to hacking up the fairway when the kids get older and I have more time lol. Congrats again.

This is what Emma, the ugly little Chi-chi poo that evilly resides in my house thinks of the scale..she's a nasty little critter.
As triumph the insult comic dog would say.
"Lynne's scale is great.....FOR ME TO POOP ON!"
Tee hee. And I agree with my teammate- I think your pooch is sending us all a message. That only weighing in once a week thing has been an EPIC failure for me.
:laugh:0 -
Hello, my name is Lori and I am addicted to my scale too..... I can't help myself.
I really should avoid it tomorrow becasue we had a picnic at our house today.
Picnic = tasting and munching on food all morning while preparing.
Picnic= food out to eat for 8 hours straight.
Picnic= sweets challenge out the window.
Picnic= no self control.
Picnic= bad, bad day!
Picnic=Chewbacca like howl when I step on the scale in the AM.
What was I thinking? Oh wait! I wasn't. I feel so darn gross right now. This getting back on track stuff hasn't worked out so well for me this week.
On a good note.... well, I don't have one from me, but it sounds like a lot of you had a great day!
To Lori's point....This is the very reason that I am now glad that I had to work today. lol
And btw...I do an excellent "Chewbacca like howel".
Lol
you crack me up. :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Good morning black team friends.
Marla - glad your evening run worked better for you - BTW, vampires are in now, so your cool :smokin: .
We had some awesome thunderstorms with clouds very similar to your photo, Marla. I just love weather - so exciting.
Lynnie - I love your little dog - I think she is trying to send us all a message.
Lori - don't sweat the picnic - I did the same thing at the lacrosse champ yesterday - a lot of crap food. Just get back on it today, it will be OK..:flowerforyou:
Loree - a night out with the girls is priceless - always make time for yourself, it makes you better for your family - I don't know what I would do without my horse. Now and then I think of giving up riding to have more time with my family, but I become this nasty witch when I do, so they are better off if I ride a couple times a week.
Trying to figure out what to do with the kids today. Oldest wants to go to Lake Compounce - kind of like a smaller scale Six Flags. Not sure I have enough energy for that yet, but perhaps I could rest on benches now and then while kids ride.. :yawn: :yawn: Younest DD is recovering well from bronchitis, but my sinus infection is still knocking me silly.. Hope to get out for a ride today and a swim tomorrow - keep your fingers crossed..:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Janie
Hope your feeling better Janie,
The boys have been sick and I am trying like heck to avoid it but yesterday riley climbed into bed with me cause he didnt feel well and wanted his da da. So I was lying there admiring is little pityful face and just as I realized that I was face to face with a sick child he let out a huge sneeze and my face was COVERED. come on immune system don't fail me now!

At least a dog didn't chit on your scale.
LOL! True. I have a 110 pound Golden Retriever, so what a surprise that would have been. He does do his business outside but has has sulpher like rotten egg smelling gas that hangs in a room like a thick cloud of green funk. I want to know what he's been eating and who has been feeding it to him!
It's a new day black team. I'm mentally back in the game. Have a good one all!
Way to go my sweet friend. Get your head in the right place and your body will follow.
It's gun be a good day, tater.
Love the ron white refrences. I spend many a day wishing I would awake with an M&M in my jowels.
lol

Sounds like my inlaws!! Very flakey and wishey washey!!LOL
In laws are funny. I like mine, they are good folks. They have their quirks. But poor Beth, her in-laws are off the wagon nuts. I love my folks to death but MAN.......This apple fell off the crazy tree.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Sorry she didn't win Marla but sounds like she still did pretty good! Congrats to her! And yea we were stalking the threads waiting on some news.
Thank you Renae--
And after a good sound slapping upside the head, may I offer apologies not telling you all how damn proud I am of her. I already told HER how proud I am, which is infinitely more important-- but lest it be said that I'm a negligent mother, I'm very proud of how tough she hung in there.
Yes, she coulda/shoulda won. She had opportunities that slipped through her fingers. She had the tournament in her hands on many occasions and gave it back. She's devastated. My heart breaks for her. And I'm so proud of the character she showed today in her strong play, considering what she overcame.
Last night's events could have done her in--
She went to the player's party thrown by the tournament and participated in the closest to the pin contest. Long story short, one of the international players picked up Sarah's pitching wedge to hit his shot, and lost grip of it and sent it flying into the lake.
She was on the phone last night sobbing to me. We feared the worst for today that she would enter the round and fall apart-- but she hung tough.
The superintendent of the course finally donned scuba gear and found it for her on her 10th hole, but she didn't use it at all today.
I'm so impressed that the whole ordeal didn't cause a collapse.
So-- to my friend who was upset with me for a less than exuberant public "hip-hip-hooray" to my little girl, you happy now?
See, here in this house, we keep a very realistic grip, or try to anyway, on our kids strengths and achievements. If you come in second in a golf tournament because you threw away first place, well, that's a whole different ballgame than clawing your way into second with no chance of first. You know?
of course, I'm proud of my girl-- I don't care how she plays golf. She's a darling, beautiful child who brings me great joy and honors me everywhere she goes with how hard she tries to do what's right. She's a wonderful child. But, she let a golf tournament slip through her fingers today--
I'm proud she hung tough, I'm bummed (for her, because she wants victory so badly) that she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. It happens. I'm sorry it happened to her.
I'm rambling-- he does that to me. :grumble:
Later.0 -
Hi Black Team....Hope everyone is having a great holiday. So sorry you had to work it Batman. Just got back from what was supposed to be my run. MAN, what 2 weeks of inconsistent exercise did to me. I had to settle for a race walk pace, the old legs are going to be sore tomorrow. If I can't get the pace back up in time we are going to walk the first 5K and run the second one in July. Yeah I'm upset that the run didn't go as planned but I wouldn't trade the time with my grandson for anything.
Marla..Sarah is an amazing young talent, her day to shine is just around the corner. 0
