BLACK TEAM WEEK 9!!!

Why am I up at 5:30 AM on my day off????????

Good morning gang,

Beth - I tried to get a look at your dress, but the site kept locking my computer, so I had to give up. I'm sure you will look fantastic - size 10 is still a dream for me.

Tamara - way to go on 120 pounds.. quite the accomplishment - great role model for us

thanks for the shout outs all - it is sooooo good to be back

That's wonderful-- have a great day!

thanks ladies! i just went to the website to admire it, and it was knocked down 10 dollars from yesterday! guess i shoulda waited :ohwell:

I saw the dress-- $19.99? Is that what you paid or is that the $10 off price--

either way, it's lovely.

I only had a minute to look, but I'm going, "Hmmm-- $20 for that dress is a steal-- hmmmm."

Don't think I can get it past hubby, though--

Maybe if I pout real purdy tonight--

it was $29.99 yesterday when i bought it :grumble:

That's the worst. I'll :grumble: extra for you.

Sears has a price guarantee so it may be reduced when you get it....if not CALL them and I bet a buck they will refund you the money.

Cant wait to see a pic!!

Dave has been over helping our neighbor put on a new roof all day. I really don't mind that he's helping but it means I don't get a break (usually Dave does most of the Harley-care on the weekend). He has to leave tomorrow afternoon/evening until Tuesday for Philly again so Mommy's gonna be tired. Heck I already am! I woke up around 3am with a migraine and still have a regular headache. Okay, enough complaining. Are you still glad that I checked in today? :laugh:

Anyone up for an adventure? I think Ben and I *might* get to do this next month. I hope!!!!

Kati, Wow..you look awesome!

Here for my daily check in!

Hubby and I went for a run this am. I was doing great running along almost at 2.5 miles when I told him I would take over stroller duty and his smart mind thought what a great idea I will just push them as hard as I can and yell they're on their way. I turned in time for it to run right into my leg. Yeah lots of fun. 2 gashes in my leg and a bruise about 6 inches long from the front to the back and about 3 inches wide. We stopped for a couple minutes at the bench but then I got up and went 2 more miles. Toes still hurt but I have noticed I am gaining weight and I don't like that so I kept going.

Hope everyone's day is going better then mine! :laugh:

ps. I have been looking for a dress for a while I hope everyone that got dresses loves them! I am very picky and have tried on countless dress and still nothing!:grumble:

Hope your leg feels better soon!

On the dress front, yes I have bought 3...but had to try on at between 15 and 20 to find them. :laugh: Luckily for me, I have always loved shopping and trying on clothes so it doesn't bother me. So worth it when I am able to find something and say, "THAT'S IT!"

Good afternoon Team! Hope you all had a great day! I spent mine working 12 hours. I am so wore out because I think I only got 2 hours worth of sleep last night. I don't know why but I just couldn't sleep last night. I came home wore out and hubby told my brother that I was hateful. Isn't that sweet of him? No I'm not hateful, just dang tired! I hope you all have a great rest of the weekend. I will be around but resting I hope. My DD is being mean this evening so I'm not getting a break. They wanted Chinese tonight so that is supper. I actually wanted to go somewhere but it looks like that isn't happening either. Maybe I am a bit fussy. But of course, why can't mommies get any breaks?

Congrats on everyone getting dresses! I don't have one and haven't owned one in years! And at this rate I am not going to have one. My muffin top won't look good in a dress. So now I sound fussy and whiny! Sorry!

Hey guys! Boy, did I blow this weeks challenge already:ohwell: Today is the first day Ive got to check in other than logging my food. Im sorry guys:blushing: We're out of town again until Tues and I may not get to say hi everyday, but I AM eating right and logging my food each day Not getting much exercise this week, but hopefully it wont set me back TO much:noway: Have a great night and great weekend...be back for sure in a few more days:flowerforyou:

RONI!!!

That is all--

This vacation stuff is cutting into my black team time! I did just catch up though. Kati looks great, there is dress shopping happening, cereal eating for dinner, stroller accidents, backs feeling better, passer-by's 'wooing' at runners- sounds good.

I am having a wonderful time, I have enjoyed every second. I am ready to go home and get back into my routine and back on track.

I have realized how quickly old habits pop up, I have not done well food wise, I have not made good choices, I have gained at least 5 pounds and it may be closer to 10. I'm trying not to let it freak me out but it is and I can't help it. It's like one bad choice spirals into the next and they just keep going. I so thought I had it beat. Guess it's a lifetime struggle.

I did get in some exercise, went to the gym 2 times, ran once, went white water rafting and paddled for 3.5 hours yesterday, a few walks here and there. I am craving the gym and my workout schedule right now.

DH told me not even to get on the scale for a week after we get home, just get back on track, hit the gym and then see where I stand. It's not a bad idea, not sure if I can do it though.

We are leaving the Poconos today and then hitting the long road back to Florida tomorrow. We may do the whole 14.5 hours at once and just get home. I hope so. I will be at the gym Tuesday morning!
