hey hey hey! I took today off, colored my hair this morning instead of working out. Then work, then tanned, then came home and cooked dinner. Well, cooked DH's dinner. My son and I had leftovers. We split the steak that was left from last night, and split the chuckwagon mac that was left from the day before that. Now, I'm wasting time on here for a bit, then am going to lay down and snooze. I'm tuckered, and I didn't have that hard of a day.
Jenny, your boy sounds so cute. I remember when mine was 7. Now he's 15. And learning to drive:noway: :noway:
Laura, when you mentioned the bear in your neighborhood, all I could think of was my DH talking to the kids, quoting (misquoting) Dwight from the office-- "Battlestar Gallactica beats brown bears". lol
Connie, I can't imagine school starting so early. Our kids don't start until September 8. They are going to have a rough time going back, since we are going on a Disney cruise the week before. We dock on the 5th, fly to Detroit that same day, then drive back home on the 6th. Poor poor kids, life of leisure then... SMACK... get up early and go to school.0 -
Wellllllllll I was a bumb today......I was going to go running but dicided to clean the house first, I only got the kitchen done and then my lynsey need to go here and there.......She's 14 and is driving me nuts wanting to drive so bad.:noway: Somedays I wish she could.. We got back and it started to rain... So I vegged in front to the TV with Lynsey and we watched a movie together.........and that was my day... Maybe I'll run tomorrow and do it first thing??????
Laura we don't want you to get eaten by a bear eather....I was just watching the news, an older lady in the mountains got mouled to death by one today here.... It is sad. So be careful
Jenny how was your trip into town today??? yes i do know how fast kids can grow....I'm now the shortest one in my little family...and my kids keep rubbing it in.
A disney cruse sounds like so much fun....I've always wanted to do that... We were suppost to take a family vacation to Yellowstone and Jackson this summer. but my hubbies job ruined all that for us this year...... :grumble: maybe next summer!!!!
hope you all have a great day and keep working...I got to, make up for today or I'll never make my goal

Today is a new day though! I will work off the extra calories today!!
Laura: I hope the bear leaves so that you can go outside! I would be scared.
Wishing you all energy to burn :flowerforyou:

I don't mind too much but it is a different county now and you never know what it will be like!!! She was nice, but I think that my hours are going to be pretty limited....which if fine becuase I didnt want so many to begin with....HUMPH....hahah so after that unusually long run on sentence hahahaha! I havent got to excersise yet....had to clean house for this visit (just a quick once over
) I am glad to see my girls on here!! HUGS TO AMANDA AND CRYSTAL!! you guys sooooo busy!!!!!

HOpe the rst of you ladies are having a great day too!!!!!!!
buh bye for now!!!!!!!!0 -
Okay, I totally fell off head first. I have pretty much done nothing in two weeks. I know I've put on weight cause I can feel it. I had done so well I lost 11lbs. I'm scared to weigh in and I bought a new dress to wear to a wedding next week. I'm scared to try it on. I motivated for my health but I rarely buy clothes so Im really determined to get into this dress. I can not explain to my husband why I can't fit it.0
-
I managed to complete c25k week 4 run today. I'm still gonna repeat it over, just to get more comfortable with it, but I did it today! No quitting early!0
-
Hey everyone. Thanks for worrying about me and my bear issue LOL
I have been trying to do well on my calories, but the last few days I have been a lot more hungry than normal for some reason. Its only 4:30pm and I only have like 300 calories left. So I'm not going to have a very big dinner when I get home.
I hope everyone's week is going well. I have been soooo busy lately working pretty much 3 jobs and its been pretty hectic. Hopefully I can get a better internet connection at home and can take more time reading all the posts and answering back.
I will catch you all later.0 -
today has been a great day... I started early with a 3 mile power walk and then almost an hr. aerobics, and then finished cleaning the house.... I think its ok to count cleaning as exercising.....AW I've been moving all day,... and even stayed under my calories. to bad everyday can't be more like today......I had to make up for the last 2 days of doing hardly nothing....And tomorrow I have meetings all day too,to prepare for the first day of school next week...maybe I'll have time to squeeze something in before bed....
It sounds like everyone is having a great week...lets keep it up...and keep moving...0 -
Awesome CONNIE!!!!!!! Somedays just seem so easy while others....definetly not!!! I am glad that you did so GREAT!!!!!!!! I just have been going over my cals by about 100, so I ususallyu give myself that much leeway---1300 can be kinda low for me sometimes!
Laura I wonder if you TOM is coming becuae I get absolutly RAVENOUS when that starts to loom in front of me!!!
GREAT job my little pet!!!! You should be proud of yourself! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Keep up that amazing job you are doing!!!!
Hek, I completly understand falling off the wagon!!! But you now have dusted yourself off and climbed aboard again!!! Just work like the ****ens this week and I bet that you will still fit into the dress. Probably half of the problem is fluid retention. Drink LOTS and LOTS of water!! THat will help alot! and get moving!!!! It always makes me great after I have done a good workout!!!
to all the rest of the gang out there REMEMBER WE ARE WORTH IT!!! Our health is more important than that oh soo good batch of chocolate chip cookies that you want to make.....(big weakness of mine lately....:sad: ) It might get hard but I think we should all try to have a goal of looking toward the future and remember what we do today effects what we look and feel like for the tomorrows!!!
good luck to you all today and lets all have a good outlook!!!!
WE CAN do this and we CAN do this togeather!!!!!

GOOOOOOD MORNING!!!!
I hope everyone is having a good week... Today we are thinking of trading in our beloved minivan that is falling apart for the cash for clunkers program... Cause we need a new vehicle... The bad thing is that you have to get a vehicle that is better on mpg.... So means we have to get a smaller vehicle
there are 7 of us at times.. so this means we would have to take two cars when it comes to all of us goign some where!!
well ladies have a wonderful day !! I am off to try and figure out what to do!!0 -

He gets to come home for labor day...:drinker: I can't wait.....I'm counting the days.......I really got to break that 150 mark now..just for him....He's been by biggest fan.....I can do this...
tomorrow I get to mow again too... I wish it would stop raining so the grass would stop growing so I could stop mowing.....no i love my green lawn,,,, maybe I just need more flowers..but then I would have more weeds to pull.....(I should do some of that tomorrow too...) We just can't win.......
As for cookies,,,,, Cookie Monster has always been one of my favorate monster......when my kids where little I was always makeing them and eating them too... thats probable how i got this way......So now they are banned from the house....Although I've been thinking I need fine a good calorie free cookie recept.. Do you think there's one out there????????
