    Oh Sam, I am so sorry. I hated when I worked so hard for my kids and they just plain didnt appreciate it.

    I guess they have good and bad days too. Hey, how abouts a big old smiley just for her??



    HEY M.................

    Morning all. So much going on today.

    Shuntae- great wishes for your 5K!

    Sam- the day will get better I'm sure. Kids are 'fun' aren't they? Trust me, they get so much more appreciative as teenagers. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: (Ok, trying to make you feel better.)

    Marla- hope things have calmed down in Marlaland.

    Andrew- hope you and the fam get a bike ride in today.

    I just got on the scale. It was not a pretty moment. Serves me right for those 3 (maybe 4) big soft numy nummy cookies I ate yesterday. Whatever. I wanted. I ate. Now I pay.

    I have pretty much given up hope that my scale will say what I want when I leave for vacation on Wednesday. I guess I could stop eating between now and then, but what's the real point there? It's just a number.

    I tried working out for results and all that got me was an extra pound. I will try and be good the next 3 days and hope the scale is nicer, but if it's not, it's not.

    I keep trying to convince myself it was just a number, just a goal to work toward. I wanted to weigh 149.999 when I left, but if I weight 152- do I really think anybody will notice the difference? I wanted to say I lost 50 pounds when people asked. Is it so much worse to say 48?

    Attitude here. I'm working on accepting what I have, being proud of what I have done and leaving it at that.

    Here's a question I might get a response to: How do I calculate calorie burn for digging? Okay yard work or gardening is not the same. HRM won't measure it. Large and I mean large pile of dirt left in a lot next to us and its an eye sore. Owner won't do anything about it so I am trying to level it out so the dog doesn't fall and break a hip. Its more then general yard work and I can't find anything that compares. Any suggestions?

    Hey Bobbi - there is a category for barn chores that I use for cleaning stalls, etc. It seems pretty beefy on the calorie count, but still may not be as much as moving heavy dirt. Take a look and if it doesn't seem like enough, just add some.. not sure how else you could do it..

    Good luck..

    Good morning black team. How are you all doing?

    Morning Janie. Hope the back is feeling better or at least manageable. Although if it were me, I'd use it as an excuse to not have to clean those barn stalls!

    Hey Lori - definitely no stalls for me.. I just rode my horse for about 3 minutes on Friday for the first time in 3 weeks on Friday. It felt so good, but I have to be really careful because I'm not really ready to do this. Just need something for my head though..

    Lori.............STOP IT!

    I gained 4 pounds the 1st week with the trainer and 3 inches!! it was on my legs and abs.....so really PO'd

    she said the muscles swell just like when you get a bee sting or scrape. you muscles swell and retain water. So you did good in trying hard.

    Dont give up!!

    and you have MY permission to say " I have lost 50 pounds!!"

    I would actually giggle if I met you and you said I am love 49.10 pounds!!

    Love ya man!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Janie sweety, wait to see what the doc says. I have seen ppl get an inch from recovery and then throw themselves back to square one ( in particular a friend who insisted on going back to tennis before her grade II ankle sprain was healed)

    I know you have to for your brain....but it is so not worth it in the long run.

    I pray you are better today!

    :heart: Jeannie

    Thanks Jeannie - I'm taking it careful.

    I mostly work with the horse on the ground and there is a bunch I can do without getting on. I'm way too big of a coward to take any chances. No more riding for a while - at least until I get the OK from the doc. Just got the OK to swim gently - will have to get my ya ya's out that way.

    thanks, Janie

    ps, Shuntae - going to go look at your story. Way to go you!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Party is all over and I have to say that I truely hate it here. We only invited family because madison's birthday comes at a time were the resort were all our friends work is very busy. so, it was a family (his family not mine) party and it started at 12 no one showed. I told him that if no one is here by 1 that we will let her open her presents. 1 rolls around and no one is here yet. she opens them all and we are outside having lunch when I hear the doorbell. It's his Aunt M's Favorite person(she talks about her all the time) 1.5 hours into the party. Yeah what a great party. Me hubs my mom and ava were her party guests. I do have to say she loved all her gifts and the cake was really really good. (didn't turn out like I wanted it too. to much frosting) but it tasted fanFREAKINtastic!!!

    I also learned my leason that I am not a chow hound any more. I ate crappy yesterday night and I ate crappy for lunch. I was so stressed out about none of his family showing up that I had to go for a bike ride and when I got home I got sick. My body was telling me "Who the eff do you think you are eating like this!!"

    3 weeks until the next party. A turns 1! so I'm eating good and going to try to exercise 5 or 6 days a week. Then 3 weeks after that is their party in NY!! yeah fun stuff!!:noway: :noway:
