BLACK TEAM!!

Welcome Jeannie2!

Congrats Jeannie1!

Dave put a new tire on our jogging stroller (it went flat about 2 weeks ago) so Harley and I finally got to do our walk. Our roads were just resurfaced so it was a much smoother ride too.

I've been really slacking on the excercise because I don't like working out inside. (Already not looking forward to winter.) When I slack on the eating or working out, I tend to not post much because I feel guilty. Dave and I have both just lost all motivation lately. After several weeks of not doing well, we're still only up a couple pounds each. I said we almost need to gain 10 pounds to kick our butts in gear. I gotta get back to it though because those few pounds are making me have to suck in to button my jeans in the mornings.

Get that bikini picture out, young lady-- you don't want to lose that, right?

Get 'er in gear, chick--

:smooched:

hey black team! a few months ago i posted on a thread about my goal piece of clothing. it was the dress that i bought for my bachelorette party in 2005. i had lost about 25 lbs and thought if i only lose a few more i could wear it. well, i didn't lose, i actually gained a few and couldn't wear it. then i got pregnant, etc, etc...and ended up at 200 lbs for 2 1/2 years. i've been trying on the dress periodically throughout my weight loss and it always just looked wrong. anyway, i tried it on this morning and it fits!! :drinker:

Not much time to stay, but just wanted to say hi.

Crappy start to the morning...had an accident on my way to work and am dealing with the fun insurance people. Physically, I am fine. My head is a mess though. At least I am not stress eating. Quite the opposite, I don't have an appetite. Ugh.

Hi Lori - Meant to tell you earlier that you have a beautiful family. My oldest baby is 7 today.

Where oh where has the time gone? Also have wanted to tell you that I love the name Harley. When we were pregnant with Emerson, Harley was a name I was pushing hard for. Harley Maree. DH wouldn't budge though so I moved on to pushing for Emerson Kate which he reluctantly agreed with.

Everyone today is Sept 11, 2009.

8 years since the horrible days, I would like to send my prayers out to everyone

Where were you this time?

I was sitting outside with my toddlers at daycare while they played...One parent drove up and said teh world trade center just got hit with an airplane, we collected the children up took them inside and turned on radio. What a sad sad sad day.

I have a bunch of items from this day I am sure my children will have to write a paper on it sooner or later in school

Hope everyone has a great day

72lori · September 2009

Grrr... just lost the post I was typing!

Beth- you look great, shave your legs sister, saw hubby's comments, I know what you'll be doing tonight.

Shuntae- so sorry! Take care of yourself.

I have been busy this morning. Walked, kids to school, gym, Walmart, post office, hair cut. Still have a list 3 miles long to do before 2:30 when the kids start rolling home from school.

First on my list is the pool. It's developed a greenish tint since yesterday. Ooops. We've neglected it because nobody has bothered to use it! Amazing how fast the novelty wears off from March when they can first swim after the cooler winter until now. I don't feel like we got enough use out of it this year which is irritating cause that was the selling point for this house. Ahhh, anyway! Quoting Marla......Whatchagonnado?

2 hours and 15 minutes to run around like a crazy person and try and get stuff done. Gotta stop gabbing.

Just thinking good thing I took it easy today, then thought about it some more. 350 calories walking, 280 lifting, 295 walking again at gym. That's over 900 calories and easy? Lol.

Alrighty, I'm outta here. Have a good afternoon!

Oh girl, you better watch out...you look HAWT! Don't forget to shave!

musicmom04 · September 2009

thanks guys!

lori and shuntae- :laugh: ...when i first read that i should shave my legs, i was like "why, do they look hairy in the picture?" then i kept reading and got what you meant :laugh:

shuntae- glad you're ok

familygirl37167 · September 2009

LOL Beth you are to funny..

For som reason I am starving today... Don't know why I am gonna eat a piece of toast and drink some water and hopefully in 20 minutes my brain will know its full. I thinks its because tomorrow I have been thinking about what I am gonna have for bbq. I know for sure my husbands fruit salad, also they are doing a bake sale at the park where my sons plays baseball for a family who lost their father so I may get something from there.

Well off to eat my toast.

:laugh: Thank goodness leg hair doesn't show in most normal pictures! I shave my legs every freaking day, it's amazing how fast the stubble come out again and I'm not a hairy person. I would consider getting them waxed but you have to let it get sort of long first and that would drive me bonkers!

Still have stuff to do... shouldn't be on here! Later!

jeanniedreambtl · September 2009

Hi Everyone!

Yes today's date has definitely been on my mind. Can't believe it's been 8 years, geez louise.

Got up feeling chipper today, got ready and went to the local rec center. Was there working out for a little over an hour. I've got it in my head, the more I sweat the better so I actually enjoy when sweat's rolling down by face, lol.

Went home at lunch, then decided what the hay, and went for another walk around my neighborhood. Somedays I just dont want to stop, is that a good thing? Seriously, I think I am addicted to exercising now. Oh and I have a sweet Ab Lounge that makes doing sit ups and crunches a breeze. Now all I have to do is work on quitting smoking (shame,shame) I know.

I hope you all are fabulous, and thanks for the warm welcomes it feels good.

:bigsmile:

Tri_Dad · September 2009

Oh golly, you ladies are kookie. lol

Jeannie2-Welcome to the black team we are glad to have you! Congrats on your first ten pounds! what a great accomplishement!

Well folks today the good lord was on my side. My mother always told me that god has a plan and today is yet another example. As you guys know my goal is to become a solid Triathlete. And as you all know, I learned a valuable lesson that having a decent bike makes a difference. Well I have been searching for an affordable bike that I can race with for some time now and in all my research I kept coming across one particular bike that was always rated best for the lower price range. But even so 1400.00 is more than I can afford and more than I can spend without my family leaving me. So I have been searching used listings knowing there would be little to no chance of me finding exactly what I want. Well the last few weeks I have had several chances to get some decent bikes for decent prices but it always fell through. Well today I decieded to walk into a local bike shop near one of my stores just to see what they had lying around and there it was....The VERY bike of my dreams sitting at the very front of the store. It was nothing short of sitting in a spotlight. Bike shop boy came over and I asked him about the bike. He said they had just bought it from it's owner this morning who was moving and not taking it with him. It's a 2007 which is the exact model year I was looking for. Then I asked him what size it was.....OMG it's my size. Then I asked him how much they were selling it for and he said he wasnt sure. The owner hadnt decieded yet. So I left my name and number. He called me back when the owner was in and I went back down. After a bit of haggling we settled on a price of 650.00. The bike has several upgraded parts and sould easily sell for the standard used price tag of 1000.00. I can't believe I found it and I can't believe it's going to be mine. I am selling my hybrid so It's only gonna cost me 250.00 which IS managable for us. And my DW is allowing it because she is a wonderful supportive woman. Oh man, just wait till the next race....I'm not dropping back on the cycle leg anymore.

God is good people.
