QOTD: I am an introvert that pretends to be an extrovert, if that makes any sense. If I am really comfortable in the situation or the situation needs someone to do something bold I can do it but I prefer to stand back and observe.0

Happy Friday everyone!
I think I am an introvert. I get nervous around new people. But I think now I have at least come to the point that I can talk without getting too nervous. But once I get to know someone I can't stop talking :-)0 -
Happy dance I am now within 20lbs of my goal weight! 19lbs actually! :happy: :happy: :happy:0

Woohoo, Friday night people!
Hope everyone has fun and healthy plans for the weekend
Saturday mornings are a killer for me, I have class at 8am - 11am and then always feel tempted when I'm walking through the Student Union Building, because french fries and other sinful stuff is being cooked up. I think I need to start packing a healthy treat for those situations...I never think about it, because it's the only day I actually have class on campus.
Oh! And!Happy dance I am now within 20lbs of my goal weight! 19lbs actually! :happy: :happy: :happy:
Congrats you! That is such an accomplishment!!!0 -
QOTD: Believe it or not...I am right between introvert and extrovert on most personality tests. I tend to be split between traits and though most people would see me as extroverted--that is often not what is going on inside. I tend to have a few close friends and I do not like crowds. I need both time to myself and time with people to feel energized.0

QOTD: I'm not really sure. I like being alone, but I also really enjoy being with people.0

Well! I'm glad that regardless of whether or not you are introverted or extroverted...you are here!

Plans this weekend? I'm feeling pretty exhausted today already, I hate that! I'm really excited that we don't have a whole lot of plans today. Possibly a friend coming over but nothing for sure. Tomorrow we have our first full meeting with the cast for the fundraiser we are putting together in April. I'm kind of nervous about that. Just making sure I have everything together that I need. I'm sure it will all work out though! We have a great group of people!)
I better go...I've got to keep track of my two men. I did a lot of cleaning last night and already this morning I've heard one of them destroying it. I wonder which one of them it was...hehehe...) 0 -
Saturday morning! Sort of circumvented the normal route and passed all the fries and stuff....and ended up in the library at Starbucks. Didn't do too bad, just a tall nonfat caramel machiatto....140cals
RaeNicoll - That's about where I am. I think that's healthy though, it's good to know how to spend time alone; when I was younger I felt like I ALWAYS needed to be around people and I'd just sort of sit there wondering what to do if I didn't have someone to visit or call on the phone. Now I relish my alone time, haha.
SumDumBum - Well that sounds balanced!
TaraMaria - Fundraiser? What are you trying to raise funds for (I'm new so I must have missed it )? 0 -
Ruth- I'm SOO excited for you!!! That's a great accomplishment!
RaeNicoll- I think I'm a lot like you too. I'm kinda middle of the road although I'm more extrovert than introvert.
I had 2 bridal showers today and we went out for mexican tonight. Not a good combination. I did fairly well at the showers compared to normal, but I have no idea what calories were actually in anything I ate today which I hate. I don't like not being in control of what I eat. Tomorrow we are going to church, ice skating with our bible study and then having bible study at someone's house. Should be fun!
Have a good one!0 -
I had a good weekend. Me and my husband decided we needed to spend some one on one time with each kid. So we had them rotate every hr, one kid with my husband, one with me and one cleaning their room. So with my middle daughter I played games, sorry, manacula and hangman, with my son I walked to the park around the corner and played basketball (horse) and I lost only by one letter, YEAH I havent picked up a basketball since 10th grade. Then with my youngest daughter I jumped on the trampoline then we went to the nature trail and walked down to the river and skipped rocks as we talked. So it was a good weekend and I got in lots of exercise. what did everyone else do this weekend?0

themommie - that sounds like such a fun day!!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you're all spending it treating yourself wonderfully (and doing the same for those that you love as well of course! ;-) )0 -
QOTD: How have you survived the Valentines day goodies?0
-
Themommie- That's a GREAT idea. I'm going to steal it!
QOTD: Well, I've only had a couple pieces of chocolate. I bought a small cake for tonight, but I only plan on having a small piece, and exercising after work to make sure I have the calories for it. Supper is healthy so it should work out to be just fine!! No goodies at work today which is surprising, but definitely ok with me!
I hope you had great weekends!!!0 -

QOTD: How have you survived the Valentines day goodies?
I'm gonna let myself enjoy it a bit. I've eaten really well so far today, gotten enough protein and I've only had 2 Hershey Kisses. But tonight Randy is making me dinner (sounded relatively healthy, grilled chicken and roasted veggies with bread or something) but I got us two small slices of cheesecake for dessert. And I'm baking him a tray of chocolate chip cookies. He's getting the whole plate, I'll probably have one right out of the oven. Other than that, I don't think I'm going overboard really. I like to be able to enjoy a treat on a special occasion tho. Esp. since it's so different than all my past, boyfriend-less Valentine's Days... haha0 -
QOTD: I'm waiting for my cookie dough to finish chilling and then we are going to make Mario Star Cookies! ha ha! So I am sabotaging myself! New recipe too using an ingredient I've never used before in sugar cookies. I made ribs for dinner with mashed potatoes and peas. Quite yummy! I really wanted some of those conversation hearts! I love those things. But we went to Wally world and they were all sold out! I guess it was a sign that I shouldn't partake! My son's preschool had a classroom party today and I didn't eat anything there either! I saved everything for ribs and cookies at my house!0
-
QOTD: Planned a pretty healthy day, while still being really yummy. Roasted chicken with feta and salad for dinner, my husband put his in a wrap. I left some calories leftover, since we did chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert and I haven't logged them yet. I'm not sure how to log them, but I went really light on the dipping 0
-
QOTD: Ah, yet another chance to demonstrate that I'm the cynic of the group.
I didn't indulge ONE BIT. Willpower FTW!!! :laugh:
Ok, so I refer to today as Hallmark Day if that gives you any clue as to my cynicism about it.
On the bright side, it saved me much calories and money! :happy:0 -

I love Valentine's Day... haha. It's so much nicer since I'm actually dating someone this year. We had a really fun night, he even made bright pink martinis.... lollll. And I got this necklace, totally caught me off guard, I really wasn't expecting anything besides my dinner! Dinner was pretty healthy and tasty. Blue cheese stuffed chicken breast, rice, roasted veggies, and acorn squash. Plus a few drinks... haha.
Anyway,
QOTD: Do you practice "spring cleaning" and what does it entail for you?
Eh, I only have a little apartment so Spring Cleaning is really just swapping out the winter clothes for the summery ones, and packing away some of the boots and things. I don't have much to do outside of my normal cleaning.0 -
QOTD: Spring cleaning....sigh...I wish...I practice constant cleaning all of the time. LOL...Actually, yes. Before I did spring cleaning. But since Christmas I've been doing some massive cleaning at my mouse. Reworking each room, reorganizing every little thing. And its taking forever. I'm just hoping its DONE by spring.
Usually it also entails moving my spring/summer clothes out of storage and my winter clothes out. But one of my projects has been sorting through all of my clothes and as of three days ago I had 0 summer clothes. Very happy to loose the weight but it will be interesting rebuilding my wardrobe from scratch! I went to a Plato's Closet (have you ever heard of that?) nearby and bought 7 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for less then $25 bucks. All summer clothes! I'm excited!) I have a weird stigma about not being able to buy out of season things, especially summer clothes when there is snow on the ground...but I overcame it and tried things on! lol! ) 0 -
Sara, your necklace is BEAUTIFUL!) And Kiki your strawberries sound DELIGHTFUL! )
Bryan...honestly? You sounded alot like me yesterday! Ha ha! I told me husband that I felt as happy yesterday as I do anyday! I have him, my son and that is all I need! I don't need a made up holiday to feel loved. So yes, a little cynical side coming out yesterday as well lol! But I didn't refuse the snowflake necklace my husband gave me....hehehe....0 -
LOVE Plato's Closet. I've brought a lot of my clothes there that don't fit to sell. I need to do another round once I clear out the wintery clothes and see what summer ones still fit. I'm gonna need all new shorts for sure, I was a size 12/14 last summer and now I'm a 6!0

I am so excited about this summer! You have no idea! This is the first time in like...oh gosh...since I was 16? 17? Almost 8-9 years that I will have a figure that I'm willing to show off and not cover up! I'm still nervous about buying shorts for some reason. When I sorted through my clothes and literally bagged up every single piece of summer clothing, I realized I had ONE pair of shorts. Everything else was capris or very long shorts. Whenever I've tried the dang things on, the size has always been bigger then the size I was in. Last summer I was finally loosing weight and was in a size 8/9 by the end but shorts I was still buying a larger size. I don't want to be disappointed by that now especially when I'm in my ultimate size jean as it is! So at Platos I didn't try on a single pair of shorts yet...lol...working my way up...0
-
QOTD: my spring cleaning is usually opening the windows and airing out the house. This year it is a closet clean out also. I really need to go through my kitchen and get rid of all my tuperware and buy a matching set.
Tara I know what you mean. I have one pair of shorts and I bought those last year after losing 40lbs other then that everything is long pants, skirts or capris. Even my work out shorts come to my knees, but that is mainly because I want fabric between me and the machines.0 -
We don't really have a spring cleaning regimen, although I'd like one. I usually switch out clothes from fall/winter-spring/summer, and then make a shopping trip to Albertville for some outlet deals!! I try to take some of my free days and really deep clean each room. I don't have a lot of time, but I do what I can!0

Albertville is awesome! I've been there a couple of times and it's way bigger & better than Owatonna. I've still never been to Williamsburg
oh I remember shopping trips to Albertville. I now go to Gaffeny, SC for mine.0
