    I just got back from our official vacation this year which was 4 days in Southern Oregon. It was so beautiful. I want to live there. I also came back with two pounds extra. Boo hoo. I'm hoping a lot of that is water, since I had huge bags under my eyes, guessing (hoping) it's from salt intake and low water intake.

    Best to all,
    Sally

    Good afternoon to you all! I have done well today with my food and water intake. On the second bottle of water and have raisin bran for breakfast and then anotehr grilled chicken salad from subway! I LOVE THEIR SALADS!!! :bigsmile: YUMMMM!
    Hope everyones day is going good. Cant wait for tomorrow. headed to six flags!! woohoo. Praying it wont be really packed. Taking the kiddos....and I know my daugher is sooo thrilled!
    Kelly----I was told I cannot start the C25K b/c she wants me to stay off my knee as much as I can with exercise. Biking or elliptical is perfect. They told me that the muscles behind my knee arent not strong enough and arent keeping my knee cap in place so I have to build those muscles up. But I will be doing the C25K once i can get back into running.
    Welcome back Sally. Glad you enjoyed your vaca....I am ready to get on with mine. Hoping to get to Jacksonville next week and be sitting on the beach. :bigsmile:
    Hope everyone will continue to have a great day.
    Remember your fruits and veggies and lots of water!!!!!
    Talk to you all later

    hi green peppers!

    hope everyone is doing good healthwise and taking the time to make a better you. if you guys want to message me or post your starting wts, current wts and goals tomorrow, i can get it all posted. i did see that many of us have that info in our siggy's, and we could do it that way too, or not. just let me know what you prefer.

    i stayed in calories yesterday but was over on fat +14, from nuts i am sure, and sugar + 30, easily from fruit. my water was good and c25k burned 278 cals. gonna try and go earlier in the day for that, as there was a lot of traffic on my route.

    goin with son for Sr pics today and then home to do some outdoor work. will check in later.

    skinny vibes to you all at the scale tomorrow! :bigsmile: we can do this SHGP!!

    today's goals ~ 5-6 nutrional meals, 64 oz+ h20, stretch and tone.... stay motivated & positive! :smile:

    Sounds like you did good yesterday. I'm going to check out your C25k. How exciting, Senior Pics!! Oh my Gosh, I have a while to go to get there with my son. I think I'll cry then :sad:

    I will give my weight tomorrow -- see if I lost the 2 lbs that stuck on from my vacation last weekend.

    Have fun today.

    Hi All,
    I finally put a pic up for my profile. It is my son fishing in Oregon (Grants Pass). I took it with my phone so it isn't very clear-but reminds me of how beautiful it was there.

    evenin' hot g peps!

    well, today has been good, cept i am under calories, and hate to eat this late, so am just gonna have a deficit i guess.

    photo shoot went good for son, can't wait to seem them now...he JUST told me that he lost his hog chores job, this am, before his pictures. i am upset that he didn't tell me...but he was a little cranky when gettin ready...so, he did 2+ hrs of posing and smilin while upset about his job. he handled it much better than i would have...i would pry be a bawling mess! :sad: anyway, i told him he could get more sleep now and enjoy the football season and look for a job when that is over. he seemed a little better after we talked.

    sally ~ it can be a tough yr when they become Sr's....but also a proud feeling and an accomplishment :bigsmile: cookies are ok...one day isn't going to ruin your diet. yes, that pic you put up is like a post card! just beautiful!

    christi ~ good to hear from ya...do you travel for work and by plane or car? sounds like a fun job, or is this for leisure?

    jacque ~ hope your feeling better, you pry needed that 'bed' day. :yawn: you have lots happening and sometimes it does catch up....don't worry bout the scale....one day at a time!

    good luck at wi tomorrow folks.....keep on keepin! :flowerforyou:

    Hi all,
    Ok here goes, you are going to be seeing less and less of me. They completely restricted our internet access at work. So I will only be gettin on at night and/or weekends. I am also not makin it in the money department so I got a part time job at night. So that also will take me away more. I will try hard to get on when I can but Remember I will be there in my heart and think about you all all the time:heart:

    To answer your quest kellya - I am a network mgr for dental ins - I go out to the offices and show them how to administer the plans. make sure offices are up to code, paperwork, etc. With that said, I do work out of my home (they provide the computer, printer and all) but my territory runs from the county above Palm Beach, FL to the Florida Keys and west to a few counties across Alligator Alley in FL. I rarely go to the West Coast side because there has never been too many offices who wanted to sign up. The other rep who takes the rest of the state got a contract and it included quite a few offices on the west side, so I've been trying to do all the walk-throughs before she goes on maternity leave. To be frank, although my compay pays me back, I didn't have the cash to upfront a hotel room so I've been driving back and forth by car (which I would use my car anyway as opposed to getting a rental...) it's only about 302 miles round trip or so......I get paid mileage so that should even things out this pay period.

    I didn't see another thread but I'm back up that four lbs I keep bouncing back and forth between. But road food choices weren't so good and I guess you know the rest. Can only vow to do better!

    Happy Friday gang!

    I decided to post here, since it is only 2 pages. I am down 4 from last Friday...yo-yo too here lately...gonna try each day to stay focused. Logging has helped and I suppose the C25K is a plus too. I want to get out of the 80's and move downward. It is up to me!

    Jaque ~ :cry: gonna miss your posts...and we understand...same thing happened @ dh workplace. check in when you can. I will be thinking of you too. stay strong and take care :heart:

    christi ~ the same lbs keep finding me too. hang in there...i know you can do this! :flowerforyou: thanks for the detail info on your job! sounds like fun, and workin from home would be great! someday I hope to make it to Fla. dh has relatives in St. Pete and Chiefland. Is there a time when it is less humid there? I LOVE the white sand beaches and blue ocean!! :glasses:

    Lots of rain here today, so will be indoors on my treadmill / C25K. For a couple of hours this afternoon I will be helping my parish husk, clean, and cook corn for our fall festival. YES, the sweet corn is on in Iowa! :tongue: and my fav with it is BLT's! :tongue: :tongue: double YUM!

    well, hope you all have luck @ the scale today, and if not, that is ok, just keep at it....you know what to do!! I will check in off and on. Go Hot Peppers, love you all!:heart:

    Good afternoon team!
    I am a bit blah today.....
    Let me start off saying that I am at the exact weight that I was when I started back in May....127. I knew I wouldnt have lost or gained. All the walking at six flags yesterday must have helped. :happy:
    But on Wednesday when I went and picked up my daughter at school I learned that her daycare was shutting their doors and would no longer be open. The teachers and parent would hear of it on thursday morning and since the teachers would not get paid for Thurs or Fri they would probably not stay and so the kids would need to go somewhere else. :sad:
    This school has been the best thing for my child! Shes been there since she was 7 months old and shes almost 5. The best teachers work there and ALL because the owner SUCKS and cant pay to keep the lease up on the building he just let this facility go with a few hours notice!! :sad:
    I have been crying ever since. I took my daughter by there this morning b/c a few of the teachers were there packing up some last minute things and I needed to get a few things and they made a special request to have hannah there. I didnt even get fully parked and open my door and her teachers had already gotten out the building and had her in their arms. :brokenheart: Tears were spread thick in that building this morning. We exchanged numbers and addresses and hugged and cried for 30 mins.
    I have built such a relationship with these people as my daughter has. I have thought so much of them. They are such great people. My daughter was also to start her Pre-K year there in just a lil over a week and now I have to find her somewhere else. :sad:
    Of few of us parents are trying to keep the kids together so we are looking for anywhere with multiple spots available.
    I have been very down in the dumps since learning of all this and wanting you all to know b/c I probably wont be on much this weekend. I have too much to plan out b/c I have to get her registered and off the daycare at least b/c I dont have many people who I can keep asking to watch her while her dad and I work. So lots to do there and honestly b/c I have been so sad I have just tried to keep moving and doing things around here at work. Lots of cleaning, filing....whatevers needed.
    So, I hope you all have a great weekend. I will post back asap.
    And thanks for letting me spill my guts about this.....everytime I can talk about it helps it just abit more.
    I just hope to find a place soon so please keep me and the teachers and other parents in your thoughts bc this has really thrown us all for a loop too quick too soon.

    Trying to stay level headed and get to issuses if they come my way.

    Kelly-you are too darn sweet, your energy keeps my heart a- pumping! thank you so very much!
    Kitn-I am so sorry, that is aweful! i know how you feel with having such a bond with the teachers, and you HAVE to trust in them so much, I mean they take care of you r baby! I am so sorry and I hope that something good can come out of it somehow.. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

    HEY ALL :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I AM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have missed you all crazy like.
    So I have been home 2 weeks yesterday....I am now MRS. Sass.. I saw that Jaque let ya all know..............Thank you cutie patootie.

    The wedding was great....all 4.47 mins of it! Gotta love Vegas. I gained 5 pounds before the wedding, so the dress was a bit snug right under the chichis....but looked fine. I have not figured out how to get anymore pics up, but there are a couple I think up.

    So on with biz.......I am up from 229 to 239 :noway: ......yep. Since school started on June 30th I have not exercised or been eating well, and have just been a pig.......today at school was a potluck day......need I say more???? It was basically like eating buffet......plus 3 pieces of cake and 1 piece of pie......and the whole time I was *****ing about my feet killing me. Well if I had 240 pounds on me 5 hours straight in 3 inch heels, I would be hurting too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So, I am gonna bust my *kitten* to get back in the swing of things! And I need all ya'll to help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please email me......tell me how you all are....I have missed you all so much :blushing:
