AGD - thanks for the information! I'm 29. I hasn't been happening all that long, but it has happened before (the last time was in July). I will certainly keep an eye on things though. I appreciate it!

Welcome to the group! You are so right about the accountability factor. I had been attempting (poorly) at using this site for about a year and a half with no success. Then after I joined this group, BOOM! 20 pounds gone

Good morning, ladies!

I'm sorry, ladies, but I just laugh when I read about the complaints about the cold as I'm sure Ladeb and lstpaul do, too. Last night, I spent 30 minutes in the pasture with my horse in the 3 degree weather. We were below zero last night and they're talking about -25 windchills for the coming weekend. Yet, we have plans to snowshoe, snowmobile and play with horses. Minnesotans are NUTS!

Yes i know i am sad I would never make it in a cold climate ..the few days /weeks of cold we get a year really gets to Me

It is freaking cold here the last few days it was like in the high 40's and low 50's was pretty nice. NOw this morning freaking cold and it is already at the high of today , supposed to get down to like 19 tonight...I DO NOT LIKE THE COLD. THere is a reason i don't live up north i just don't like being cold!! We are hoping they poured our foundation mabye yesterday morning, if not we probably wont' get it till next week.

Yes ma'am it is!! I am freezing at work!! No fun. I didn't wanna get out of bed this morning. At least I got to sleep in till 7!! WOOHOO!! Found out last night that our hot water heater at home is broken. Cross your fingers the new one gets installed today! I went to the gym last night and had a great workout. Came home to find my Mom had picked up chinesse for dinner. Luckily she got some steamed veggies and chicken as one of the entrees. I just love my Mom and how she tries so hard to pick healthy choices for me! :bigsmile: I was going to workout tonight but I'm so freaking tired that I don't think it's going to happen. Definitely hitting it tomorrow and Saturday though! I believe 45 min-1 hr both times.

Just noticed I'm in the single digits of my countdown to Mexico!

WOHOOO soo excited (and jealous ) for you

Momma-I am so glad that nothing more then being shook up happened! That sounds terrifying! Glad you and the driver are okay.

Ann-Congrats on the 220's! Your rocking girl! :flowerforyou:

Momma - So glad you are okay...and god is watching over you today.
Ann - WTG on the 220's.

By the way Deb wtg on the 240's and Jesse you are looking amazing girl.Keep it up

Thanks Ann - HOping i can stay out of the 250's for good...249.5 is still a little to close to comfort for me...I hate that fluctuating the scale does going over 250 then under then over then under...NOthing but down !!!!

I soo wanted to be in the 230's specifically 235 by Monday, but i know that isn't going to happen. I have my yearly gyn appt on Monday and last year when i went i was 285 so i really wanted to be down 50 lbs, but still 35 lbs is still a good deal.

HeatherMN: I do chucle a little at some of the cold weather comments ... I have only worn my winter coat once so far this year ... just a heavy sweatshirt most of the time. But I would have to admit that I am really sick of the giant snow drifts and messy driving in St. Paul right now. A lot of streets are just 1 lane so you have to take turns with the person driving at you!. I am ready for spring.

Momma: Soooo glad you are ok! How scary!

Well, I think there is something in the moon phase right now or in my horoscope. I told you about my big financial snafoo I discovered on Tuesday with the missed 0% financing deadline. Well, I have to share my horrendous day/night yesterday. It all started at step at 6:00am when I got there and didn't have my tennis shoes. (If you will recall I skipped step on Monday because I hurt my foot) ... well I was probably stupid - but I wasn't going to have gotten up at 5:00am and driven to class for nothing, so I did the class in my socks (bluenote is probably cringing since she has had foot problems too). I was very careful and actually I don't think I made my foot any worse - it still feels about the same. My morning was pretty normal, just some goofy work problems that I can't figure out - still working on those. I went out at noon to pick up some groceries and lunch, on the way back to work I couldn't take my exit because it was closed due to snow plow removal ... took me an extra 30 minutes to get back to work figuring out another route. In the meantime my son's school had called that I had to pick him up because he had a stomach ache and norovirus is going around in St. Paul so they aren't taking any chances with any stomach issues. So I immediately left to get him (missing lunch which isn't a good thing for my food habits), when he and I got home I discovered that the dog was sick ... had diarrhea all over the family room. So I sent my son upstairs to rest in bed, kicked the poor dog outside and went to work ... after 3 hours of cleaning and steam cleaning the fam room was habitable - but I can still smell it a bit. My hubby spent the night at our farmhouse in Wisconsin so he was no help. The dog got me up 3 times during the night to let her outside, the time at 4:00am I was half asleep and fell partially down our stairs... my right foot at the top and left foot at the bottom - not a pose that I'm really capable of. Needless to say now my knee is getting sorer and sorer as the day goes on. What a day/night!
I'm working from home today to try to prevent any more dog messes, my son decided to try school since he never had any symptoms other than a stomachache - I think he is actually constipated so I fed him a bunch of prunes - but I'm half expecting a call to come and get him. I'll be steam cleaning, trying to figure out my goofy work problem and trying to stay off my knee. And I hope nothing else goes wrong today!

Ohh, what a terrible day! I hope today is better for you. I highly recommend buying some Fabreze and spraying it EVERYWHERE! I had a very sick dog once that left messes like that; of course it was before Fabreze came out, so I cleaned with Resolve. Now, every time I smell resolve, I think of my dog :-(

lstpaul-Wow!! You had quite aday yesterday! I really hope today goes better for you! :flowerforyou:

Ann-Thank you! You are so sweet! I am so proud of how well you have been sticking to this. Your amazing!!

Oh my goodness it is getting colder and colder outside! I can feel it. I don't do cold well! I live in Texas for a reason!

Oh wow! It sounds like everyone is having a rotten day...

Momma - So glad you're alright!
lstpaul - I hope your day gets better, too!

My lack of motivation is TERRIBLE today... I just don't have it in me to do anything (thankfully, even eat... lol).

Perhaps if I take a shower, I'll have a bit of energy to do anything... haha

Good luck at the interview Lilspy! That's good that it will be tomorrow so you can get it done and enjoy your weekend.

My day hasn't been as bad as yesterday - but kind of sucky because I think my mysterious work problem has to do with the network and the network guy of course insists it isn't. We have been going back and forth all day - would be easier if I were in the office. Oh well. I still need to steam clean. I know I must have missed something because every time I go in one area I can smell the mess ...but I just can't get myself to get down and smell the carpet to figure out where I missed. I'm a little afraid it might be the couch where the dog lays.... when I can get away from work I'll steam clean that too.

My knee is really stiffening up now.
