    Robin - Toppy was a cool dude, glad he came out.And it was awesome to meet my MFP friend in person too!

    Jessica - My week/weekend has been subpar :grumble: . I'vedone quite a bit of walking, but the eating hasn't been on point! :sad: I'm actually looking forward to getting back in to the groove of things when I get home.

    Leaving for the airport in an hour!

    yes get home safe!! And who knows maybe the walking was enough? lol Besides it was like a vacation- and in such an awesome foodie location. I think I would have had to yell at you had you not enjoyed the local cuisine!!

    Uh oh... that scares me for my move. It's gonna feel like a bitty vacation for a while... and then Turkey day... and then Xmas.. and then.. AAAHHH lol... shall be fun to enjoy little bits of the food at least ! :bigsmile: Still freakin out over not having snow for Xmas tho!

    Hey ladies! I had a pretty chill weekend. Not much for exercise but a lot ot spending time with the family. I ran Friday morning and danced for a few hours Friday night but that's about all I got for ya. We carved pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds, baked cookies, watched movies, went to my son's football game, and just hung out around the house. Super relaxing! Not great for the scale but honestly my weekends never are! I'll pull off a loss though... no worries:bigsmile:

    Kasi sounds like fun!

    I'm bummed I haven't been tracking as well lately - and its showing on the scale right now (but I haven't pumped yet :/) anyway sorry I haven't been on here as much - super busy!

    Pumpkin carving here last weekend was a ton of fun - lots of good food ;)
    Two really busy days at work with late nights - tomorrow I won't be home until after 9 easily...

    Ran tonight but didn't do the whole 25 minutes - I'm slacking all around...need some motivation to get back on track ladies!

    How are you all doing?

    jessica how is no gluten going? Have you noticed a difference?

    Im jealous of all the pumpkin carving!! Mmm n seeds! With the move I wasnt even able to decorate properly, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. But next year will just have to be all the better!!

    As for gluten free. I'd give myself a C- or D+ lol. I'm getting better I suppose. Bad carbs today 5 saltines wih my chicken n dumplings minus the dumplins tho! And a sliver of chocolate cakr my aunt made for us for helping, she made it in the crock pot with dr. Pepper n jack daniels! Lol. It was very moist n yummy, and luckily came with no icing. Ugh oh yea way too many oatmeal raisin cookies, luckily those are almost gone!! Oh i did opt for rice sticks instead of regular pasta, yummy. My 3 y/o ate it up!!

    MIl said she'd try gluten/carb free with me and the holidays will be our cheat days! Lol.

    You have plenty of time to Carve right now even though you couldn't decorate :) We didn't do seeds this year, the carving party started out 4 years ago with one infant and 8 adults - so more of a beer fest. Now we had 8 kids, the same 8 adults, two of them pregnant AGAIN (yes- we all like to procreate - hehe). The awesome thing about this is that we all live fairly close together - most of them will be going to the same school and I think at least three will be in the same grade :)

    Nice that your MIL will be supporting you through all this - I have a pretty decent MIL too, makes life so much easier.

    maintained this week!! I am setting a goal to track every day this week - even if that means going to bed an hour later (ugghh) I need a smart phone...

    Anyone else setting a mini goal?
    Have a nice day all.

    Anne- with all the visits with friends and family, cleaning, pacing and setting this up down there and closing things up here... it seemed more of a chore than a fun activity which makes me even more :sad: Every weekend for the past 2 months have been taken with some sort of 2 day activity. This weekend will be a blast though, Wisconsin Dells!!!! And next weekend babygirl goes trick of treating Saturday night with her cousins and Sunday morning we head out..... omg.... it's so close lol. Yes my MIL are more like BFF's than anything else :laugh: we literally talk everyday minus the weekend occasionally...

    Yay on the maintain! And you have a .5 advantage right? and one for later? I'm down 1 pound... course it's my weight from 2 weeks ago... but I think last weeks gain was from TOM :grumble: I'm quite down in measurements tho! in my waist and abdomen especially!! I think the yoga will help me a great deal, I didn't get to do it last night cuz a friend stopped over, but tonight for sure! And honestly I'm a bit worried about trying to do it while the hubs is home all next week... course either way I'll get a workout! :laugh: :blushing:

    My mini goal- I'd like to be in the low 140's (144 with calculations of 1.5# loss a week for 12 weeks) by my birthday Jan 17. Thats a total of 18 pounds.. very doable! OH MIL added me to her Y membership- it's about 5 minutes from the house and they have free child care! Super awesome! and the pool in the backyard! ok... I feel better about moving lol...

    Happy weigh ins!

    You do have a ton going on right now....

    down one pound is great! Love that you'll get a workout either way next week :) Hahah

    Your mini goal is totally doable - and what a great birthday present!!!

    I'm just getting relaxed from work. Entered my mega food eating today - took forever but its done. Now going to clean the kitchen bc hubby can't do it when watching kids alone (hey at least he watches the kids!) then off to bed...Night All!

    I think I'm out this week guys:cry::cry: :cry: Katie hasn't weighed in though, where are ya girl? Debbie hasn't weighed in yet either:ohwell:

    Anne, I am sooooo tracking all my food too! I've slacked on that super bad lately and I think that is a huge part of my problem. I tend to take bites of just random stuff all day long. Like I had 3 cheetos today... just 3 no biggie right, well not if you do that multipule times a day!

    If I am eliminated I will be the comeback kid from the second chance. Not sure how I'lll pull it off cause there is some stiff competition in that category but I'm gonna try damn it!

    If you saw my post on the comp thread you'll know that I'm officially the world's largest dumb @ss.....

    I thought TODAY was Wednesday (hence the non-weigh in). WTF?!?!?!?!? :explode: Anywho, I would have only brought the team down since I'm up 3 lbs. this morning! :noway: But it was expected. Not much water while out of town, and in it's place was some bad for me (but good tasting!) food. But WTG on not being in the bottom! Not a win, but still not bad! Keep up the good work ladies!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Sorry for not being a better asset to the team. Things right now are so flipping crazy, I mean *kitten*, I don't even know what day it it! :ohwell: I'm going to try my best to be the come-back kid in the comp! :drinker:

    Katie, thanks for saving my butt girl:wink: I'm sorry you got bumped to second chance though. And you are a important part of this team. We are here for each other and you haven't let us down... No worries:heart::flowerforyou:

    Sorry to hear you missed out on weighing in Katie. Well done Kasi on staying another week! I can't believe I am still in this comp so far.

    Oh Katie, I've totally had days like that :( Keep in touch and you can so come back in the second chance category :)

    Kasi - tracking takes sooooo long when you don't keep on top of it all day! And I am so a grazer tooo.....haha - but it keeps me in check if I know I'm going to have to write it down!

    So does our team have the most players? I think so since we got to steal Robin! How are you doing Robin anyway???

    goodjob this week faithykins. Katie Seattle has been known to blow a few minds. ( mine being one of them :wink: ) good job to all this week. Now if I can only get this feeling of dread about work under control and start focusing on my body I would do better. chocolate was my salveation/detriment today. I need to get my act together. I don't graze but I do drink once I get home and that is an issue.

    What do you do for work Robin? I hate stressing about work. I feel like once I get home my mind should be on the family but a lot of times I'm still worried about what's going on at the bar.

    We are in the transition of getting new owners. Right now I'm the manager and make a higher wage but I don't know what changes the new owner will make and its got me seriously stressed out. On a happier note though, because I only work 3 days a week (11 hour shifts), I have put in some resumes for part time jobs and have an interview tomorrow and on Monday for two different catering jobs both pretty respectable businesses in Salem :bigsmile:

    Gotta go get my daughter... I 'll check back soon. Take care ladies:flowerforyou:

    I am currently in procurement for a very large Aeorspace company. I love the company and have worked here for 2.5 years but in a different group. I love working on the Engineering side of things as a Technical Specialist but I was doing that job as a contractor and I needed to get back into the company direct to get my pension going again so I took the Procurement Agent job and I hate hate hate it. I just have to have faith that it will all work out.
