Can I pretend today is not weigh in? I'm about a week out from TOM and sweets are calling to me. Calling loud. I ate 4 cookies last night at bedtime with milk. Bad. I also woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache regretting it. :grumble:
I've been up about 3 pounds since the weeekend. Beer at the ball, cookout on Sunday= 3 pounds faster than the speed of light. Had I been a really good girl this week it would be gone by now. I wasn't a really good girl. I wasn't even a good girl. I was however a girl.
Ahhhh my friends, win some, lose some.
Our 8th grader had to be at the school at 3:15 AM for his 8th grade trip to Disney. When I found out the time he had to be there, I said "not it!" Hubs took him. I did get up and see him off. The other 3 kiddos have dentist appointments at 8 this morning. I'm gonna let them skip school and take them shopping. They have money. It's burning holes. 2 of them haven't missed a single day of school other than when we took our Orlando trip as a family in September. This is the time of year I let them miss a day or two just for fun as long as their attendance has been good otherwise. Alex did miss a few days when he had the flu but he's been good too.
My kids know don't tell me that they have a headache, belly ache, other ache. Unless you have a fever or are throwing up, you are going to school. Don't call me from school complaining that you don't feel well...... I'm not coming for you. (Every once in a while when they have colds and complain how bad they feel and I make them go to school and then I get the cold and feel like somebody ran me over, I do feel bad.) However, it's a life lesson. I never took off work cause I felt crappy. I went, sucked it up and made it through the day- cause that's what you do. You can't keep a job long when you call off for every sniffle. Plus, when you are a single parent you need to save every single sick day for your kids! More than once I took a sick kid to work with me and plopped them on the couch in my office. So glad I had an awesome boss!0 -

Lori-- every post of yours I read, more and more I'm convinced we're twins separated at birth.
I don't let my kids stay home, either-- the high school ones, that is-- and the homeschool ones? Puh-- I don't care how bad you feel. If you can sit on the sofa and watch a movie, you can sit on the sofa and do your math--0 -
marla, you have a way with words. love to read your posts. I had the whole family here this weekend. loved every min of it. Like the rest of you I have many blessings. good luck to everyone. richie
Thanks, Richie-- I've been told I'm just a big mouthed blonde who loves to hear herself talk-- you know, whatever-- ha.
Glad you enjoyed your time with family-- that's what it's about.0 -
Beth-- you look great. Keep up the good work!
(I want to eat the face of that boy of yours-- what a cutie!)0 -
Hello all,
Beth - you look so good, and happy. I hope you enjoy this pregnancy xx
Marla and Lori - I love reading your posts they make me think I am there, and I also believe that my children will go to school unless they have d or v, or otherwise can't move.
Sorry that I haven't been around much, little Chris is under the weather and having paddies from hell, as well as not sleeping through, so I am shattered and trying so hard to get through the day. I am actually going to go up to bed now, so will say night all and I will try to check in better0 -
Hey Black Team,
I hope everyone is doing well. Wife gave me the third degree for my lack of involvment and she's right. Sorry, I have been letting alot of outside stress get the best of me. Scale hasnt been going the wrong way, but I havnt been the best teammate. No excuses. Thanks for putting up with it. I'm gonna skip on the spreadsheets for a bit. Having issues with excel at home and the weigh ins havnt been ver abundant so I am going to ask that you guys report your weekly loss on the board. For the momment lets keep this thread going and I will come up with a new challenge. Have a great night guys. 100 food logging starts in the morning. Oh boy. 0 -
Andrew-- no worries, mate-- do what you can do. Glad you have Beth, though, to kick you in the keester.
So, hubs is going to Home Depot tonight. (home improvement store, Tanya-- national chain) Like a dope I ask him to go with him because there are some projects that I plan on doing once he leaves for the next golf trip-- he doesn't know about them. Shhhhhh!!!!!!! But, I have to price this and that.
So I walk in-- I peruse, I scan, I shop, I scope-- check out floor tile prices for my teeny-tiny rinky dink powder room-- check out prices of gallons of paint-- check out prices for this and that-- and poof, I'm done.
Go over to hubs-- he's still deciding between "this" valve and "that" valve. :noway:
60 minutes later-- yes, 6-0 we walked out of the store. I even made friends with some lady buying lawn furniture, because that's where I finally parked my fanny-- over on the most delightful high back, swivel rocker -- sighhhhhh-- all I was waiting for was the freaking waitress!!!
Hubs and I are SUCH different shoppers. I walk in, see what I want or don't see what I want-- and out the door I go-- badabing, badaboom--
Did my first load of laundry in my 99 cent washing machine-- what a blessing.
Heading out to run-- my training schedule only has me running two miles tonight-- I'll take it-- whoooooo--
Later, troops!0 -
okay-- me again-- tired legs tonight-- glad I only had two miles to do. But, did 'em strong.
yesterday I upped the reps in my strength training, so today both arms and legs were tired-- which is a good thing. I'm even up to 40 pushups-- count 'em 4-0-- wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Heading where? To type! Good guess.
Later, my silent peeps.0 -
Morning all,
Well my men are all off of school today - the 3 little ones schools are closed due to voteing, and the eldest had an upset tum! Also have no extra little ones today, so will tryto spend some quality time with my little men around finding time to vote!
Haven't been on the bike yet, but I am going to walk the little men to the voting station and its a far distance away, so will do this in about 30 minutes and go on the bike later.
Marla, my hubs shops like you he goes in, gets what he wants and leaves. Ideal except when I want to spend time looking at things :laugh:
Andrew, way to go on 100 days. Keep smiling0 -

Ditto Tamara! I think I'm routing for your scale more than my own. You deserve it!
Great 5 mile run this morning...added a little on to the run so I could say yes to some ice cream cake tonight:bigsmile:
scale hasn't moved in 2 weeks. Guess I shouldn't complain, it didn't go the other way either
Tanya - Is there more stuff going on over there with the Volcano aftermath?

Good morning everyone!
Sorry I havent been able to check in for a while, we still dont have internet at the house:ohwell: This site is the only thing I actually miss about it though.
Wow, the last 5 weeks have been whirlwind
Im still seeing my first love...in fact Im out of town again at his house. This is the 3rd trip in the last 5 weeks. I spent 2 weeks with him on the first trip. 5 days on the 2nd trip and now 3 days after the end of the 2nd trip Im here again I actually brought Alex with me on the last trip so that they could meet each other. It went awesome! They really hit it off and Im hoping that Alex will want to move down here by the end of the summer. If not, Im going to be doing alot of traveling...
Oh, and did I mention that he surprised me with a proposal and a 3/4 carat diamond engagement ring?:blushing: Yep, I am engaged folks
Well, gotta run. We're supposed to go later today to trade in my mini van. All this traveling calls for a new car
Have a great day everyone! I should be able to check back in tomorrow:flowerforyou:0 -

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Morning all. Yesterday was a really nice day with 3 of the kiddos, we had fun shopping. My eating was disgraceful. We went to Olive Garden for lunch in the tune of fettucini and breadsticks, had ice cream on the way home, I went with hubs to Hooters because none of us were hungry, yet ended up eating 3 wings and a few fries, then topped it off with some cookies. Ok, 7 cookies........ :blushing:
What was I thinking? Apparantely I wasn't thinking. So much for my soul searching. It's not the end of the world, I will recover and do fine. Mostly what bothers me is that I still allow myself to eat like that, even if it's not all the time. I know better. I know I won't feel well. To top it all off, I do not want to go to the gym today. Really, truly, do not. I don't feel like it!
I think I need to change my weigh in day. The middle of the week has never really clicked for me. When I first started I did Monday, only because it made me be good all weekend. I thought about Friday or Saturday, but I'm afraid that will be an invitation to do crappy over the weekend because I will have all week to make up for it.
I need to get serious again. I will. Just need to get myself there. I'm a lot of work!0 -
Lori-- get thee to the gym.
This is your conscience speaking.0 -
Congratulations Roni! I am very happy for you!0

Lori-- get thee to the gym.
This is your conscience speaking.
I went and gave it an hour. Luckily there was a friend on the stepper beside me. It was fast and painless. Well almost painless. I think I need new sneakers. It kills me to say that because they cost so much, but it's like one day they are good and the next they are bad. I've been noticing it for the past few weeks and today my tootsies were screaming. I think I'll see what they have on base when I head there for food.0 -
Congratulations Roni :flowerforyou: 0
