Hi People. I am back. I am alive. I am happy. You ladies rock. Period. No questions asked. I know now who my friends are--all of you lovelies! Have a good Labor Day weekend everyone!0

Hey girls,
I'll weigh in tomorrow. I flat out forgot this morning.
I did, however, help my mom can 50 lb of beets. I never want to see another beet ever. She really wanted me to take more, and I just couldn't.
It was a long day and I am just beet. teehee. (Yes, the puns, they were a flyin'.)0 -
Im here guys. I love reading your comments. Lacey- I feel your pain. We work in the same industry....its tough.
Kendall- I have a similar situation as you.K has a 16 year old. When I don't see her for a long period of time, it's weird. Congrats on moving in...or plans to. K really wants me to move closer to him but im hesitant. We work together but I live where we work. He commutes 50 mins each way. Idk if I cld do that.
I made cupcaksz onight but didn't eat a single one. I intentionally made a flavor I didn't like. :-)0 -
Hey ladies... just bumping... my house is overrun with flies, i have a cranky partner (due to flies) and have jsut realised i still have my work pager, which i have to take back.
I'll be back later.0 -
Checking in for Friday: 2210 calories burned/ 2168 calories consumed (yikes!)/ 42 calorie deficit (hey, it's a deficit, right?)
Hosanna: Do you not have screens on your windows in Australia? The Europeans don't put screens on most of their windows and it drives me freaking NUTS!!! I live in a small village down the road from a dairy farm and a horse stable and across the street from a farm with sheep and chickens....all this farming = animal poo. Animal poo = flying insects. No screens = flying insects INSIDE my house at all times of year except the dead of winter. It is the thing I absolutely despise the most about living here (which probably means I generally like living here as that's kind of a lame thing to get all worked up about - but I totally do get worked up about it).
Megan: There's a cupcake flavor that is unlikable?? What is this thing you are talking about??? I'm pretty sure that EVERY cupcake flavor is worth eating. Ew...except red velvet cake...that crap is just gross.
Sarah: What do you do with beets? My mom used to put pickled beets on salads and that was pretty much vile and disgusting.
Hailie: You know we love u, girl!!!
Bobbie: Hiya!! *waves*
Kendal: You CAN totally tell hotness by voice sometimes. Bummer about the battery not being covered. I think that's a not too expensive thing to replace though.
Victoria: Yes, I am a BeachBody coach and I guess I get something if you order your stuff through me (can you tell that I do it for my discount and not really to recruit others into the Beachbody way of life??) - I've never had a customer before Kerry, so I'm kind of unclear on what customers do for me (I would imagine, I make some kind of money). But I DO have contacts in the company who send me all the info on stuff to keep me in the know on their programs. Anyways, I don't want any of you guys thinking that I'm being a pushy coach trying to get you to buy stuff but if you are gonna buy it anyway, u can use me. If you pre-order through a coach, you get 2 extra DVDs, free shipping and you are guaranteed delivery by Christmas. As for when I plan on starting it....I guess that's gonna depend on Kerry cuz I TOTALLY want to do it with her (she's a major motivator for me with her hardcore butt-kickingness and the next best thing to working out with her in person would be working out with her at the same time). But I'd love for you to start your hybrid with us at the same time (do u have a workout schedule put together for your hybrid?) so we can motivate each other to bring it!!!
Katheryne: My favorite NSV so far has been The Hubbs telling me how hot I am. I've had a LOT of NSVs and buying fabulous new clothes comes in a close second but being hot in THe Hubbs' eyes is definitely #1.
Lacey: The thing with The Hubbs kind of festered into a raging boil last night but we eventually had it out. (We do NOT argue very often but when we do it kind of throws me out of whack) The whole vegetarian thing he did stemmed from a preemptive strike at me over his pepperoni. HE was feeling guilty about eating it (this just sounds LAME as I type it) so he lashed out at me. I took it WAY more seriously than was intended (as I feel pretty strongly about ME being vegetarian and I was hurt that he'd mock that, especially in front of The Kid who is learning how to be a person from watching us) and I let it turn me biznatchy for the rest of the night. There were other factors involved, like you said, not just stuff about me but we talked everything through and all is right with the world. And he learned not to mock my tofu...dammit.
Karen: I like your way of getting rid of housework!
It's supposed to be a beautiful day today and then rain the rest of the weekend. We're supposed to go over to our friends' house for a BBQ. I'm hoping to keep my calories in check as I went a little haywire last night. We'll see how that works out. Maybe I should take a page out of Kerry's book and make sure to burn lots to cover me. Have a great day ladies!0 -
The new cure to run faster - rain with thunder and lightening. I was more terrified of the iPhone getting wet/ruined than anything. I'm home and dry trying to get up the energy to get on the dreadmill for 5 more miles. My running partner ran 4 with me and she stayed dry, I got a mile out and it started pouring!!! I swear I did a 10 min mile back the car
I actually like running in the rain but lightening scares me since I run on 2 tracks in the woods. Time to get my old dry shoes out and my tush moving for a few more. Maybe I'll be brave and do 6 more.
Thanks for the info Amy. If I decide to buy it, I'll go through you!!!0 -
Weigh in: 184.8!!! Wahoo!! I was S H O C K E D at how much I lost this week. (-4.7!)0

Morning everybody! I'm making my menu and going to hop in the shower and head into town soon to get groceries. we are pretty much out of everything. I'm super tired today. Two days of carb overload and calorie overload has done me in. My body feels like ick and so does my stomach. So I'm making:
Veggie spaghetti with salad
Tempeh tacos
Salad rolls with peanut sauce
Oven sandwiches with salami tomatoes and "fried" eggs
Quiche and salad
Hawaiian steak tacos
And for Jeff and G breakfast this week mini pita pocket egg cheese and bacon sandwiches. I will have my usual smoothies.
There is a football game today jeff is leaving the house to watch so not sure how I will get a long walk in unless i come eoght home from grcoery shopping and do it which is an option The little tiny umbrella stroller is so not conducive to walking Gracie around, it's about three inches too short and I have to bend over. Makes me regret selling our larger one. Maybe I will do p90x or something...
Victoria I worry about my iPhone getting wet this fall and winter too..are there options for that?
Ok I want to get going!0 -
Lacey - it was in it's "waterproof" case and a neoprene sleeve and stayed dry. Since I just got it a few months ago after water damage to the old one - I was panicked. The old one got damaged the first time being in otter box but next to my skin (under my bra strap) during a long run from too much sweat. I solved that problem by getting neoprene sleeve and strapping to my tank top and just lived without the on/off switch. Fatal damage was falling into the hottub - big $400 mistake. Water damage not covered under warranty. I've been told I can't replace this one if it gets wet - d@mn husbands. He's right - I was careless. Hence my superfreak out. It was a freaking downpour - next time it looks like rain, I'm leaving it in the car or taking a ziplock bag.
Congrats Sarah!!! It's the stress relief of no monsters and bills being paid off:) I swear stress makes you retain weight.0 -
Victoria: I used to walk/run with my iPhone (in it's neoprene case) clipped to the inside of my pants waistband. I stopped doing that when I noticed that condensation from my sweat was building up inside the case. Now I wear it on an armband (which annoys the crap out of me but I'm not willing to not have my music and stuff with me).
Lacey: Do a P90X workout or something (kenpo or CardioX) and you'll feel good about yourself, I promise!!!
Sarah: You are a weight loss machine, congrats!!!! (Running is an awesome fat-burning workout)
Well, our BBQ got postponed until tomorrow, which was a good thing since I didn't even get out of bed until almost 10 am (cuz I stayed up till 4 am mostly being pissed at The Hubbs). Then I had to run errands and go grocery shopping so I didn't even get home until after 5pm. I wasn't going to workout but I'm so proud of me cuz I worked out even though I wasn't feeling it. I walked for nearly 2 miles on the dreadmill and then did the 6-week 6 pack DVD. I am a sweaty mess but I feel pretty good about my decisions today. Except I made a custard for making pumpkin pie ice cream in my ice cream maker. I'm sure that is a bad decision but I just HAVE to try it. It's fall and fall = pumpkin. And I ADORE both fall and pumpkin.0 -

Amy - my neoprene sleeve is an arm band thing but I hate it there so I wrap it around my tank/bra strap. DH frequently texts me on runs. I can read messages here without removing it. I meant to tell you I haven't even thought of a hybrid plan for running and P90X but am up for suggestions. My running partner and I hope to keep up with outside running 2 to 6 miles all winter twice a week !!!! I'm so excited she wants to run in ice/snow - cuz I wouldn't do it alone... She has 2 bigger dogs and needs to exercise them.
I managed 2 miles on Mr. Tready before giving up and calling 8 miles for the day good. I plan to run Mon and maybe I'll make it up then.
Hi Katie (*waves*)0 -
8 Miles......this seems sooooo crazy to me. I mean even at my best, I was only doing 3 miles at a flat 10 min mile. I'd be happy with that for sure.
Meg, I am not sure of what this non likable cupcake flavor is either?? Do tell. Because if it is cake, and had icing....it is likable!!0 -
I just joined the gym ($99 for the whole year, pre-paid of course but now I won't have to worry about making monthly payments). This gym has no zumba or spin type classes though. It does have area-specific classes like Abs, Legs, Back, Arms.....they also have a free personal trainer class you can sign up for and the guy will set out a workout plan to help me meet my goals. I like this. It's a brand new gym (maybe a year old), so all the equipment is fresh and sparkling. lol. My old gym was just that- old.
I also went to Walmart and bought $80 worth of new workout clothes. BTW- a lot of their workout clothes are marked down!! If you need new stuff and aren't anti-Walmart, I'd suggest stopping by. I got 2 pants, 2 capris, 2 shorts and 4 tops....for $80!!!0 -
Rikki - LOL. I realize 8 miles is great but I have to run a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles) in 15 days so really should have run my 11 today. My ave speed is 14 min miles. I'm just happy to run.0
-
Victoria: When you run 13.1 miles, you are HARDCORE, I don't care if you run a 14 min mile or a 20 min mile...you rock.
Kendal: That sounds like an AWESOME deal for your gym! I have free access to the gym on base but all the equipment is old and it's a half hour dive out there (one way) so it really isn't worth it to me. I used to have a great gym right across the street from my office in Monterey, I'd go swimming or take a Zumba class on my lunch break and it was AWESOME!
Katie & Rikki: Hi there!!0 -
I went and got groceries and such, then came home to walk 3 miles in 58 minutes. It was over 80 degrees and way too hot to try running. The last mile seemed like it took foooreeeever to walk. I will go out tomorrow morning before it gets hot and do my thang again before it gets hot and run. I iced my feet and legs to make sure they are good and will continue to do stretching at night to help keep limber.
Tried to get Gracie to take a nap for some peace and quiet and but she wouldnt' fall asleep. She is such a jabber box today my head is spinning lol. Jeff left to go watch the game. I am going to make us some dinner here soon and put her in the bath. I bought two books to read at Target and am looking forward to doing just that this evening. I have no other plans to do anything. Yeay! I've logged all my cals today and should be fine to stay under, double yeay since i have two days to make up for.
Victoria - I looked at the iphone arm band things and think if I could get one and wireless or bluetooth or whatever they are called earphones I'd be a total happy camper. WIth all the rain here in Oregon I am going to have to be creative if I want to keep going this fall and winter with the walking/running outside.
Kendal - did I ever tell you YEAY for moving in with Mr. Reunion? I think I thought it and forgot to say that to you. Are you going to meet the girls' mom before you guys move in together? How exciting! Cool about the new sparkly gym and clothes.
Amy - I've been craving pumpkin or acorn squash risotto for about a week now...
Sarah - YEAY for 4.7 lbs lost this week!!0 -
Holy cow, I was busy Friday and today and I'm already behind 3 pages! Wow!
No time to write....my parents are visiting from St. Louis, so we're taking them all around. Fun, but guess what the number one thing they want to do is? Try all of our favorite local restaurants. So we're basically doing a tour of food for the next 3 days. Yikes! Tomorrow we're cooking out so I can make good choices there, but I did promise to make a homemade carrot cake...oh boy.
Wish me luck! I'll need it this weekend!

I've had one and a half crack wraps today already. I have a ton of cals left still and getting hungry. Might have to have another one.0

Hello everyone! Just checking in for the day. Went to K's house to watch the razorbacks blow the competition out of the water. We actually cheered for the other team when they finally scored. Haha
Todays food choices were definitely not what is my normal anymore. I wasn't with K when I started to really watch my food choices. So I knew the food that was going to be cooked was not going to be in my best interest, so I brought veggies to throw n the grill. When it came time to eat, I emptied 4 veggie kabobs onto my plate with a taste of the other goodies. I know I went over and ate too much but I didn't feel as bad about it because I had over 2 cups of chunked veggies amongst all the other stuff. So im doing better at choosing foods and overindulgence, but definitely not there yet.
As for the gross cupcake flavor, I agree that red velvet is nasty. I don't mind the actual cake but I HATE cream cheese icing. It will ruin any kind of cake. But I also do not like cherries or cherry flavoring (cherry coke being the exception). So I made chocolate covered cherry cupcakes. Its real simple to make. Box of chocolate cake mix and a big can of cherry pie filling plus 3 eggs all mixed together. Bake as normal and ice with chocolate frosting. I've also used white cake mix with strawberry pie filling with 3 eggs. It was good.
A "diet" version I've made has been chocolate cake mix (and now they have sugar free versions if you don't mind artificial sweetners ) and add canned pumpkin to it. I can't remember if u add anything else but im pretty sure that's it. It was a weight watcher recipe when I did that. But they were very tasty and lower calorie.
Alright im going to sleep, its 1230 midnight and I ate bad so im sleepy.
Enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend!0 -
Lacey- I haven't met the girls' mother yet. Mr. Reunion leads me to believe that she is a drama queen. I'm trying to be the good girlfriend and not do something to give her cause to think bad of me, but that upsets Mr. Reunion. This just came up this weekend actually. .....I think it's too soon to do things like spend the night with him when he has the girls, or them spend the night over here. He asked me if I was in a relationship with him or her. I get his view, I shouldn't do or not do things just to make her happy. But I want her to hate me cause I'm too perfect, cause she can't find a legitimate reason to hate me. Ya know? lol And we only JUST decided to move in together recently. Not sure exactly how that will work out, but hopefully it won't take more than 3 months to happen.
Tonight while Mr. Reunion had run to the store for a minute, the little one (who just turned 6) asked me if I was part of their family now. She's so freaking adorable. (I told her "not yet.")0 -
Kendall- im in a similar situation with K. For the past two years, his daughter was with him every other weekend and weeks in summer. So he cld stay over during the week and id stay with him on weekends she wasn't there. We didn't want to give his daughters mom any ammunition to mess with his time. As of yesterday though, he got full custody of his daughter. She lives with him full time now. Our relationship is going to have a lot less time for "low impact aerobics" bc neither one of us can stay over anywhere since she is there all the time. We still can't give the mother a reason to contest his rights.
I have met the mother. Believe me, they hate you anyway, but she actually said some good things about me once to her daughter. Do I really care what she thinks?? No but I also wanted her to know that im a good person the daughter to be around.
Good luck with all that....and congrats on moving in together at some point. That's very exciting. I hope K and I will be there at some point but now his kid has thrown a wrench into my plans. Lol. Oh well....0 -
Amy - I'm on a constantly rotating roster... like, i've just had late-early-early-late-early, now i'm off until thursday night shift, then off again till the next tuesday etc... it's awful!! Kills me! also... You live in Stuttgart?? I have friends there! Good on you for supporting your kid's goals and ambitions. not enough parents do that these days!
Anette - Hope your dog situation is resolved soon! :frown:
Megan - YAY for the loss! So happy for you!!
Katie - HI!! :flowerforyou:
Kerry - YAY for nearly "healthy"!! and well done you for the running in the weather!! This thread is awesome for that... i often push through things so that i can tell you girls that i did it!! I'm also totally envious of all you ladies living in countries that have Halloween. I used to love it with my friends back in Adelaide, but we were just about the only ones in the country that celebrated it.... I would LOVE to have a proper american halloween. And it sounds like if i do, we'll be coming to YOUR place for it, Kerry!
karen: I'm SO HAPPY to hear that Mellie's bot is all good!! You must feel so relieved!!
***YAY! THREAD FLIP!!***
Amy - That SUCKS about the hubbs having a go at your food choices... Are you sure there's not something else on his mind and he was just projecting? Just a thought, but that seems a little odd!! Sorry to hear about it love, it sucks when men do things to p i s s us off! Also, we DO have screens... we're known for our flies here!! BUT they were getting in ANYWAY!! Probably down the chimneys! it was so gross. there were 50 dead on my computer desk alone! (make that 51... i just flicked one out of the corner of my keyboard...) Also - what is BeachBody? - - reading further, i see it WAS projecting behaviour. Men.
Kendal - That is suuuuch an awesome idea for the girls!! It's so lovely that you're making such an amazing effort to get to know them and make sure they're comfortable with you!! Awwwwwwww that is so adorable for the little one to ask you that!!
Hailie - Glad to see you back and happy! :flowerforyou:
Megan - Teehee on making a flavour you don't like!!
Katherynne - My favourite NSV so far has just been buying size 14 clothes. I also like it when people comment on my weight loss.
PHEW!! FINALLY got through it all!!!
Last night ended up being a lovely night. We went to Teags' house for dinner and sat in the spa for an hour or so and just relaxed. all the flies were dead when we got home.
I am SOOO glad this 'week' is over - i've just finished a run of five shifts in a row, and that KILLS me. I am so upset about my job at the moment. I hate what it's turning me into. I did nursing because i wanted to help people, and make an impact on lives... where i am now i'm starting to resent people and i am actually spending my days HOPING PEOPLE WILL DIE!! Not personally, i've not become that callous, but essentially we are a holding bay for nursing homes... we are waiting for people to doe so that we can turf out our patients, and usually we're HOPING to get rid of them!! :frown: it upsets me greatly, and the Other Half is getting really upset having to see me dreading going to work.
I've got a few days off now, so i'll be looking into jobs out at the BHP Billiton mine in Roxby Downs.
things with the Other Half are going so amazingly well now. He's been cooking heaps this week (He's cooking ROAST tonight!!) and doing cleaning and stuff!! And we exchanged cards that we bought one another while i was away today, and i had little tears in my eyes reading his. It was so beautiful. I love this man so much!! :ohwell:
Anyway, enough ranting/sappybollocks from me... i'm off to drink wine. It is, after all, my "Friday night".0 -
Check in for Saturday: 2859 calories burned/ 1916 calories consumed/ 943 calorie deficit.
Hosanna: I live about 20 min south of the Stuttgart airport so, not IN Stuttgart but pretty close. I'm so sorry you hate going to work. I've been in that situation before and it really is miserable.
Megan: Bummer about losing "low impact aerobic time".
Kendal: Mr Reunion's girls sound so sweet!
Lacey: Crack wraps have the name "crack wrap" for a reason. They are addictive...and awesome. I have a cranberry pumpkin risotto on the menu for this week. I am ALL about the pumpkin!
Pam: Enjoy your weekend!!
I spent the morning making blackberry cinnamon rolls and caprese salad for the BBQ we're going to this evening. We also got to taste the final product of the pumpkin pie ice cream...it has ruined me for life. I'll never be able to go buy some Breyer's ice cream and not think about how much better homemade ice cream is.0 -
Good morning ladies! Just a quick note to pop in and say I'm 214.4 for this weigh in.
Megan- K's girl is old enough to either get a part time job or want to go out with friends so hopefully you and he can have some adult time together.0 -
Karen: I loved the whole 'wrap my children in bubble wrap, lock in a padded room, and throw away the key' because it made me LMAO!
Kerry: Good luck with P90X2! Hope you enjoyed your ball game!
Amy: Good job on being responsible, finals are stupid. I hate them. You have more will power than I ever could!
Kendal: Awww, hearing about Mr. Reunion, the girls, and your love life with him in general makes me smile! Congrats on the gym membership!
Katheryne: My favorite NSV was when I realized how 'amazing' I feel and confident when I walk into the store, clothes aren't tight for me anymore.
Hosanna&Katie: Hi! :flowerforyou:
It's my 18th birthday today, I will be on a good behavior....or at least I'll try!

Happy birthday Hallie:flowerforyou:0

Good morning, everyone!
Megan and Kendall...No matter what you do, there is always gonna be some kind of resentment once you make that step to move in together and make things more permanent. It's important to not start more drama than necessary, but it's equally important to project the reality of your relationship. Adult time is crucial. Kendall, that child sounds adorable, and it appears you have already won her over.
Hosanna: I am glad to hear that you returned to a much better and happier situation than when you left. I hope it continues! It really does suck to hate your job because of the way it makes you look at and treat the people you are supposed to be helping. I have sometimes felt that way in public education when they tie our hands from actually doing what might help the kids learn.
Hallie: Happy Birthday!!! I've missed your energy!
So, the girls came home for the long weekend because they "missed their mommy" and then spent last night with other friends. Hmmm...it's all good though. We are going to go bowling when they get back home.0 -
Just popping in with my weigh in. 234.8. Much better. Busy weekend here, so now tome to catch up right now.
Happy birthday, Hailie!0
