I will catch up with you all later to day.

Welcome :flowerforyou: mick

My week end was another success.

Kathy

hey gals! Sorry i have been super busy working outside! We cut some trees down and it made a huge mess of my back yard which I had just got all nicely raked in to piles....so I have to rake a bit again plus all those nasty sticks! That stuff plus (looking all giddy) my hubby came home and surprised me yesterday and we got to go and pick out our front deck that I have been patiently waiting 2 years for....lets just say that 2 milk crates are our front steps at the moment....oh it pretty 'classy' hahahaha. So we were gone all day! Unfortunately we went out to eat twice, it is hard to log in those meals someimes so I just write in the bottom of the notes....I did burn like over 700 cals doing the yard work though so I think that I was fine....*shrugs* if not oh well I don't do it all the time and it was fun!

I will try to be on more today!!! We don't wannt a lull on the thread!!! Hi to one and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I have to now go and work on my itty bitty yard!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:

Welcome:flowerforyou: tanya, The food journal is your best tool to start. Keep logging in what you eat. That way you will see all the things you really don't need to lose weight. OK, OK, you might mess up here and there but, give it time. Don't make it complicated just keep at it. You will succeed.

Glad to have you in the group.

Kathy

Good Morning all,

It is a beautiful day here also. The sun is shinning, no clouds and I thinks its 50 degrees all ready at 8:30 am. Yea. I must get to the gym early so I can enjoy this beautiful day.

I hope all have a great day.

Kathy

hello girls.
:sad: :sad: I have had the worst weekend! It started on friday and I just couldn't get over it!!! So I ate and ate and ate....like that was goign to solve the problem! This is what happened I am sooooo upset still!!! I just need to get this off my chest. You all know that I have a special needs boy, but he isn't like so special needs that he is terrible in class and stuff like that. He is good and always has someone with him to help as well. Well I have been having a problem with the art teacher not wanting my son in her class, becuase he is different, he isnt' like the other kids, he might pose a small challenge....I talked to higher authority about it a while ago and it was suppose to be taken care of. Well yesterday she wouldn't let him go to class. He is always with his class and she wouldn't let him go!!! His kindergarten teacher told me and she was also just mad as hops as well. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER!!!!! For heaven sakes what is so earth shattering involved with kindergarten art that my son cannot be in that friggin class???? i asked if he was misbehaved and his teacher said that he haed a wonderful day. She just doesn't want him in there becuase he isn't the same as the rest! It is discrimination plain and simple. And what is so riciculous is that she of all people should feel strongly about discrimination, she is native american and is very much so against anything about discrimination and wrong doing when it involves that, but not when it comes to disabillities I guess. (I am in no way predjudice about anyone or thing.) I just don't understand!!! I got so upset that I drove right over to the highschool and marched into the principals office and sat and waited to talk to him. He was completly shocked that it happened, he had already had a conversation with her about it! He was super nice and very supportive of me. So at least that was good, but I still feel terrible anger. I don't like it at all, I am soooooooooooooo not an angry person at all, it just isn't me. i know that if you guys would meet my son you would just all love him to pieces! This is the first time that someone has ever acted this way towards him. I just feel like I could go and beat her to a pulp!!! grrrrr 8sigh* I think that what I am really upset about is that this is the first time somethign like this has happened to my sweetie. I made a promise to myself that I would do all in my power when we adopted him to protect him and keep him happy and content. Well I have been successfull but now there are outside factors and it just kills me to think that this sort of stuff is going to happen adn I won't be able to stop it!!! Thanks for letting me vent out....I don't know what could possibly make this situation better....even the fact that I found out that she is retiring at the end of this year really doesn't make me feel better....Ifeel like she is getting away with it!!!!! So that was pretty much my weekend....stewing and festering about it along with eating crap. We have a meeting at the end of this week at teh school so maybe something will be said there. If this school doesn't shape up I am going to move him to another one. I just really hate to do that becuase he has soooo many wonderful friends in his class that accept him and really doesnt see him as 'differnt' they just see him as being saul. I am just torn up!

I am proud of you girls you are doing great!!!!Katherine we will hop back up on the wagon together!!!! I will give yoou a boost if you haul me up too hahahaha Sorry for the depressing post.....i really am normally a happy bright person!!!! I will snap out of it today! and I went through my cupboards this mornig and threw out the 'goods" that are evil and nasty temptation!!!! Stupid cookies!!!!! Darn those little girlscouts and their cuteness!!!!!! I gave away some of them to the neighbors though too! I just threw the ones that were open! Anyways I hope the sun continues to peek through....the weather dsaid it was suppose to rain and possibly snow but I am pretty sure that it taint happening!! Goody for me!:bigsmile:

I know exactly what you mean, it can be mega frustrating when your son isn't doing anything wrong in the class and is being himself... She sounds like a horrible woman. My bro has learning difficulties and is about 4 years behind mentally.. he's a cool guy.. likes to go out drinking with his friends from work.. is studying IT at college, but sometimes finds it hard to communicate with me or mum n dad.. on the other side of my family i have a cousin who has Williams Syndrome, she is a lovely young woman (25) but has the body of a 10 year old. her special needs are more apparent as she has gotten older, but she copes. it is annoying to see how other people react in such a negative way when they have never had any interaction with a special needs person...
I hope the meeting goes well on friday! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I need a serious pick up Hun... hope we can both do this.. with a holiday loomin im stressing myself out more and more!!!

Jenny - BIGGEST EVER HUGS BACK TO YOU.... You're words are so kind :blushing:

I have uploaded a new photo of me from the weekend... Im very concious my arms look bulky in it.. maybe im being too analytical.. but im just noticing these things.. i know it will be to do with my workouts atm.. but i dont want them to get any bigger.. i have my review coming up on friday to see how im getting along with it all.. i might ask if i can do less of the weights and more Cardio... Maybe that will help?! mmm :ohwell:

lets do this.. im really wanting to get motivated this week and my friend Carl even said he would go running with me for moral support... i also need to get out on my bike - Bikathon in 2 weeks! :noway: !!!

Tiger..... Rahhhh x

I just got back from "excersising" if you can call it that! My sis in law pooped out after 20 minutes and wanted to finish with the weights and what not but then her hubby came home and she said that she needed to be done. So I don't think that 150 cal burned is quite enough for my new LETS GET FOCUSED AND MOTIVATED week so I am gogn to do my own workout at home!!!!

Oh little tiger your arms look great! But if you feel like they are getting toooo muscly (i think i just made up a word haahah) then maybe you are right, more cardio less weights or do more reps of lighter weights....hmmm I think that is how it goes.....anyways you look great!!!!

Kathy HUGSSSSSSSSSSSs I agree WECANDOIT!!!!! Lets put on our focus pants on kick the fats but!!!!!!:happy:

Where is our little jackie jackie and I haevnt seen black belt for awhile either! MIck welcome girly!! Come join our chat anytime :bigsmile: I like to talk hahaha!!!!

I am starving from super huge workout (har har har ) and ready for lunch!!! so tatafor now!!!
