    shanell just calle they are dismissing school at 11. we aren't even going to get the outer bands. just the coast is. once one school district closes the others follow. why did you send them to school in the first place? charleston county didn't. oh well.

    Hi Everyone!

    Cathy - You are not mean - you just want the best for your son and your and your DH. Congrats!!!!! What are you going to do with the room? Guest room, craft room, gym? So many possibilties! :wink:

    Julia - (1) don't stress! we are all here for you, (2) take it one day @ a time, one choice @ a time... hopefully dinner went OK - if not buckle down and eat a healhy breakfast and go for a nice walk - YOU CAN turn this around for you and the little one :flowerforyou:

    Amy - YEAY for you! School is back in! Great job with the walking!!! We are all awaiting the undergrad students return... :grumble: ...

    So today @ school they are boarding up the windows etc... we have to remove all of our electronics / equiptment etc, and they will likely shut the hurricane barrier in the harbor (I work right on the water, and my house is only 1/4 mile away) - they are expecting a category 2 / 3 to hit us saturday /sunday... or it may miss us... who knows... I spent yesturday afternoon putting all the yard furniture away, and anything else that could get blown around... don't want to chance it. Updates soon!

    Thanks everyone! I'm doing much better today. I did eat pretty darn good last night, I started with a bowl of mixed fruit which I haven't ever done before. I had a chicken caesar wrap, which I know can be really bad, but I don't think this one was. It was smaller and wasn't loaded with dressing like they are sometimes. Exercise is still "eh" but I do go on walks at lunchtime, so it gets me off my butt and outside. I'll turn myself around! :happy:

    We find out the sex of the baby on Monday (I can't remember if I mentioned that yet). I am beyond excited! :bigsmile:

    Keeping everyone dealing with yucky weather in my thoughts and prayers! Stay safe!!! :flowerforyou:

    did my C25K already on a saturday morning. feels so good, even though i did struggle. ate too many carbs yesterday. the wind is still blowing, every leaf that blew george went nuts thinking something was after him. might try taking the blind dog (boomer) next run day (tuesday) i run tues, thurs, sat. that works for me zumba on wed. gym on sun.

    gotta get showered and dressed to go get son food so he can leave. later

    great pic of the hurricane cathy! we are just waiting... i guess it is the "calm before the storm"... going for a long walk with the pups and BF... I don't think we will get one in tomorrow... unless we go down to the beach to check out the surf.... I LOVE when the waves get big.... unfortunenlty I think they will be closing the "hurricane doors" so we wont be able to get out to the beachs... they literally have doors in the harbor and on the streets... kind of crazy....

    went on a mini binge last night... but recovered nicely today.... did a ton of cleaning... BF and I got the hot water heater working again (pheew... didn't have the $1000 to get a new one).... and I plan to be good tonight!

    talk soon.

    son is GONE...when he left for work last night, he went to HIS home this morning....taking his last few things to him this afternoon and his food. we have already began the change in that room. emptied two plastic crates. sorted all the girls toys. moved stuff from the den to that room. em....it is our guest/spare room. i have my arts/sewing stuff in there. theres a tv for exercising. a hide - a -bed. going to really nice when all done and i can now do some serious cleaning. instead of spring i will do fall cleaning.

    good morning....

    hope every one had a safe and good weekend. hope you made it through the storm em with just wind and rain.

    have the girls today. nothing else to do but.....start my "fall" cleaning. so happy to do that. DH and i are still in awww of just the two of us. see how this week goes. went to trailer yesterday. he answers the door all sweaty. his one and only little air conditioner broke down. needs freon. i felt so bad for him. here it is 90+ outside. he had a fan. so DH went around and pride open some windows. that's how son thinks, if they didn't crank, they didn't open. they are over 30 years old you have to pry them open and push them shut from the outside. it's an old trailer. it made such a difference we were able to do a little work inside than.

    well off to get a few things done, than dress and begin.....

    Hope everyone is staying safe!

    I just got home last night from 4 days on vacation. Along with it came horrible eating. I know it's possible to eat good when camping but we just did not!

    Dh has 2 late work nights so the gym is going to be a challenge for me this week. And its time to get the kids back into a routine because school here starts next tuesday.

    Cathy- congrats on your son moving out!

    Amy- I know the weight gain/pregnancy thing....I gained 50 pounds BOTH times. Yuck. Lost it all the first time. Have NEVER lost it all the last time...8 yrs later. Owen will be 8 in 1 week and so its slapping me in the face.

    Good morning ladies! Sorry I have been MIA, but this was my first wedding weekend. And of course it was in Philadelphia with the hurricane (and all of the evacuees from the southern Jersey shores). We survived Irene just fine, but we got home to trees down, debris everywhere and missing patio furniture. It wasn't supposed to hit us as hard in central PA, but I guess they were wrong. At least the power is back on now!

    As for me, this weekend was HORRIBLE! I honestly didn't eat too bad, as the wedding festivities were all fish for me (I don't eat red meat). The drinking is what got me. We did a lot of celebrating, as the BF is best friends with the groom (and bride). Anyone have any good detox ideas for me? I feel so bloated and crappy it's ridiculous.

    Cathy, glad you didn't have to weather the brunt of the storm. North Carolina looked really scary. Em, hope we hear from you soon that everyone and everything up there is ok. Everyone else, I hope that your weekends were fabulous, and that we are all ready to get on track for the new challenge tomorrow! :)

    HI Sixers. I am at work now... we still do not have power at the house (lost it late saturday night)... hoping it will get turned on tonight at some point... but we have been told we may have to wait most of the week for it to go back on... :grumble:

    I have to work a full day today, and then we have a lot of clean up to do @ the house... there are lots of big trees down in the yard / street... luckily none of them fell on our house.... :drinker:

    Not sure what the scale will say tomorrow... this weekend was weird w/ food etc.

    Personals soon.
