be back to check in later, Lord willing--
Ticker action with no medicines and 1200 calories-- even with little exercise this week. whoooooooo!!!!!!!
Woot on the ticker action!!!
Double that woot!0 -
It has been my after gym routine to make my post workout food and get time on the computer while I eat. HOWEVER, my computer time seems to be getting out of hand. I need to reel it back in. Yesterday post workout computer time turned into several hours. I was running around before the kids got home trying to get my 'chores' done so it didn't look like I sat on the computer all day. For real. I'm a grown adult, I know better. Work first, play later.
Today, I have plans to clean the house, so while I want to comment on everybody and read more.... I've got to work before I can play! :sad: :bigsmile:
Later team. Have a good one.0 -
Marla- Another woot for the ticker! We haven't had unbearably cold weather here lately, but today is a different story. It was 17 degrees when I left this morning, and they are calling for snow overnight. Ewww.
Jeannie- Glad you are feeling a little better!
Kati- Hope your little ones are feeling better soon.
Everyone else- Hey, hey hey! (think Fat Albert here)
Sitting down eating my very yummy lunch of leftover chicken cacciatore from the other night...so good. Might be a busy weekend...BF's dad is having his second back surgery in as many years. We're hoping that this one is more helpful. I think he's supposed to go in at 1, so prayers/good thoughts would be much appreciated.0 -
Shuntae - I am sending you the cold temperatures. Would you be so kind to keep it for a while? We could really us a break in temps right now. When I left this morning it was 3 degrees outside. Not including our windchill. Right now it's 13. But feels like 3. Tomorrow morning we'll wake up to a balmy 4 degrees. But, by Sunday we'll be 25 for a high. I'm hoping to send the kids outside, even it for only 30 minutes. I am SO OVER WINTER!!!!!! :grumble:0
-
Shuntae - Meant to thank you for wishing my kiddos well. Seems to be going around but fortunately it's been short lived, so I hope that remains the case for us. Stay safe this weekend.0

Yes, Ma'am, Shuntae-- we're not far from you up here in Jersey-- brrrrr, baby.
Heard the wind howling last night at my desk, no way in H-E- double hockeysticks I was venturing out in it. Yes, I'm getting faggy this year-- just can't battle the elements along with everything else right now-- hate being a wimp, but it is what it is right now.0 -
Marla, its not being faggy. We get smarter with age.
Its a tropical 8 degrees here in the upper Ohio Valley. I'm not going outside, no way, no how , nope, forgetaboutit. . And as one of the senior members of the Black Team, yeah AARP sent me membership papers for my bday :grumble: , I am smart enough to know NOT to exercise in this weather.:noway:
Stay warm friends, Spring is around the corner somewhere.0 -
And as one of the senior members of the Black Team, yeah AARP sent me membership papers for my bday :grumble:
AARP sent me a card!!! hahahaha It said all I have to do is call the number and I can use this card when I need it. Now my husband gets his dads stuff because they have the same first name but ME?!?! They are crazy!
Oh and I forgot to say that I made 2 loaves of bread and didn't have a bite!!! YAY ME!!!0 -
OK, it is snowing in SC. They had to cancel our USS Yorktown trip because it was supposed to snow and it actually is! Most of the time they call for snow and we get nothing or just enough freezing rain to knock the power out. DH has to work this weekend and he is so sad that he will have to work graveyards and sleep while it is snowing:sad:0

Everything must completely stop when it snows there! Get out the fat free sugar free hot cocoa!:happy:0 -
Thanks Jeannie,
You are always so positive. I guess I'll have to send my 2 year old to kindergarten
Food is such a challenge for me.
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Jan~ I hear you about the eating off your kids plates. I have a 3 1/2 and a 1 1/2 year old. I think that is why I give them foods that I won't eat. Chicken nuggets! :sick: Cheese slices that have been chewed :sick: pasta that has had grimmy fingers all over it :sick: Fish sticks dipped in ketchup :sick: think of it that way and you won't eat it!! :bigsmile:
Samantha, That is so funny. I really need to think of it that way. How do you resist McDonalds french fries, though! I'll take a couple half chewed...ewwwwwwwww that was way too much info. ROFL
Sam and Jan...........you all have me walking down memory lane.
I was on one of my many many diets one summer. The kids were eating Micky Ds (which was a treat for them, didnt get that much) when I was entering the room the eldest yelled.......LICK the bun then she wont EAT yours!!! :laugh: :laugh:
Jeannie,
I'm dying laughing. That's a cute story:laugh:0 -

hey tamara, how much snow did you get? i think a couple of weeks ago, we got almost 2 feet on sunday, then the kids had to go back to school on monday! and dh NEVER gets to come home early because of snow. in maine, if there's too much snow to drive, they take the snowmobile or cross country skis :laugh: glad you made it home safe.

WHAT?!?! you are much much much too young to get a card from AARP. way too young! young i say! you're practically a teenager! (if it's not obvious, me and sam are the same age
) 0 -
Shuntae - glad surgery went well
Tamara - stay safe. Since we get snow all winter long, I sometimes forget that snow is unusual in other parts of the country. We have some good friends who live in Tennessee now, but are from our town. She sent an email one day and you could almost hear her laughter in her words. She said that the kids had a snow day that day. She attached a picture and there was what we would call a dusting. She said the whole city they live in was shut down.
As I told Shuntae earlier, you can keep it. :laugh:0 -

You're not too far ahead of us Marla. I think your profile page is wrong.0 -
Been meaning to do this for days… so here goes.
Beth- hope you are feeling better. I like how you and DH are at the same loss for this time around. In synch.
Kati- I really hope the cold weather gives you a break and you can send those kiddos outside for a bit. How much further on your tri challenge?
Tamara- I love cereal for dinner. Not only do I like the way it tastes, I like not cooking. I hated seeing the results from this past week too. I was admiring how all of our newbies are chugging along and sort of embarrassed that I’ve gained since we started. I think it happens to those of us who have been around and are either close to or at goal.
Shuntae- I’m so happy you found running buddies, sure makes it more fun to train.
Tanya- I gotta ask. Is tea comparable to what we call dinner or supper? I always thought tea was sort of an afternoon snack sort of thing, but from your posts, I’m not sure.
Roni- I hope you have a better week next week! Hugs my friend.
Donna- we are here for you. 167 will be toast and I’m sure you’ll be at your goal in no time.
Jeannie- I am sorry you’ve felt like dookie all week, but I’m happy you are coming back around.
Tammy- enjoy the monster trucks. The fumes would send me over the edge, I have never been to one of those things because of that!
Jan- I think we are all foodaholics on here. LOL. Listen to Sam about thinking how nasty it is to eat off your kid’s plates. I totally remember one incident at Burger King. Took a drink from DS (2YR) straw and a huge chunk of food came out of it. I almost lost it. Not sure how the food got in there, but it sure was a surprise coming out. So nasty. I never did that again.
Andrew- sorry you are away from the family and busy as all heck.
WHERE's AMANDA? Anybody have her on facebook? By the way, anyboby that wants to add me to facebook, feel free. (Lori Eckel)
Sorry so many of you are fighting the cold and snow. We had a pretty nice day today- mid 60’s. I’m praying it’s decent tomorrow. 11 hours of sitting outside at soccer to look forward to. Pleassssseeeee be half way warm! I know once the sun sets it will get cold, so I’m taking plenty of clothes to be prepared. I also just packed half the kitchen for snacks and meals. It’s gonna be a LONG day.
I’m still struggling a little bit with my eating for some reason. Attitude is much improved, need to get my head back in the game. Tomorrow is survival, Sunday I have to start logging again and be more accountable to myself for what I’m eating.
It’s been an incredibly long day. I’m wiped out. Spent 2 hours at the gym, then 4 hours cleaning this house and doing laundry, changing beds, then it was getting dinner, getting ready for tomorrow….. Nonstop day. Headed for a shower and some snooze time!0 -
hello my friends--
Brief howdydoo before I drag my weary, aching *kitten* to bed. Did a marathon typing session tonight to get all my work done before midnight. Pay cycle ends tonight, so everything logged by midnight gets into next week's pay. So, good news-- I can actually sleep in tomorrow--
Sarah's none too happy about being asked to do the 8am basketball practice run for Aaron--
-- but, she's doing it nonetheless. Told her I haven't had a morning where I didn't have to get up to an alarm clock in who knows how long-- plus, Caleb and Josh tag-team me all night, every night-- so this old hag needs some sleep. 
Spent some time comforting 7 year old Abby tonight--
sad and confused about why her big brother's not in the picture these days. Seven year olds simply do not get "tough love." Poor little sweetie-- doesn't help that she's got a cold, to boot, and felt awful.
Need to turn in and get some needed sleep--
Later, my troops.0 -
Sorry to hear that so many of you have snow again, we seem to be in sort of bubble here. Had a snow flurry at 3.30pm yesterday as I was walking home from school but it didn't settle, but as dh drove to work this morning he got 10miles down the road and there was thick snow!!!!!
Lori - when I say tea it would mean dinner (usually fed to the boys between 4.30/5pm), supper would be a snack before bed
Marla - hope you got your layin, and I know how you feel about the nightly tag team
Kati - what is aarp??
Hello to everone else, will check in later I need to go and do some chores (urgh!!!)0 -
Good Morning black team - I desperately need some prayers this morning.
We were getting ready to go out last night to DD fundraiser at school. I had to drive ds-12 to ballet by 6:15. Driving my expedition going south not more than 1/2 mile from my house. drive over the tress el. The train had just gone by..at the light making a left hand turn. It is a very sharp left hand turn. Cars were waiting at the cross street and the lights were blaring in my face. It was very dark at the corner and as I was turning I hit a pedestrian crossing the street. She was in all black and I did not see her at all. The scene goes running through my head over and over again...what did I miss? How could I not have seen her. It was pitch black where she was crossing. Witnesses said they didn't see her. I called 911 and the ambulance police where there immediately. It was rush hour. She was conscious and speaking but had a big gash in her leg. Her bag was underneath the left back tire of the truck. I called the hospital to see how she was and they wouldn't release any information to me. I called the police station about 11 to try and get some answers. They called the hospital for me and said it was not life threatening. she seems to be ok but she was in surgery. I'm assuming for her leg. I have been praying the rosary all night. Had to take a sleeping pill to pass out. I'm still shaking, can't eat. I'm going to for run right now. right now I feel like I will run forever.
Please pray for this 31 year old woman....and me0 -
Oh Donna, I am so sorry that this has happened to you, I will pray for you and the lady. You are in my thoughts.
Hugs tanya xx0 -

Double that woot!
Woot out .....Marla ...Woot Woot Woot !!0 -
Donna-- I sympathize-- I ran over a crossing guard when I was 21, or so-- he was standing at the corner where I was waiting to pull out into traffic. I was looking left, looking for a break in traffic, saw the break, and took my foot off the brakes and began rolling. Thank God before I accellerated, I looked back ahead of me, and boom, there's this old dude with a stop sign, banging on my hood.
I knocked him on his keester. Boy, was he mad. He wasn't hurt badly, but was totally ticked. Cop across the intersection ticketed me for reckless driving, and the guy sued my insurance company--
But I was very shaken-- what if it had been a kid I didn't see?
I think of that guy every time I'm in the same situation-- looking left, waiting to pull out. I always check first before taking my foot off the brakes-- fool me once, shame on you-- fool me twice, shame on me.
So sorry you're so upset-- hang in there, my friend.0
