    Vita....wow you and I ARE in the same boat! I am so sorry that you have to too go through these changes with the school. And to have to deal with the clothes issue too!:noway:
    Some businesses or even people just ARE NOT considerate in any way!!!!
    Oh well, what doesnt kill us only makes us stronger! :drinker:

    ~I started hannah up at a new daycare center just until I know for definate where the state will fund the kids from her school to go and let me say I AM VERY PROUD OF MY LIL ONE!
    Shes only 4 yrs old and have went to only 1 school and she wasnt frightened at all!!! :drinker: :bigsmile:
    we got there...talked to another parent from her old school that was up there and after filling out the paperwork to get her registered she was telling me bye and trying to push me out the door. :tongue: :sad:
    I loved her independance but come on.....a lil missing me would be great!
    But I was very happy that she took to it so well. We walked to her class, she went right in and introduced herself and her friend and then went to playing. WOW! shes is so grown up.....but why!! Why did my baby girl have to grow up. :sad: :sad:
    I am so proud of her and that just made my day! b/c otherwise I would be ON EDGE ALLLLL day!!!!!! though I am counting down the time till I can go pick her up!!! 1 hour to go!!!!
    ~well this weekend was jam packed with fun! went off with some friends and ate at the melting pot (its a fondue place) and then sunday went to my moms and hung out and did some work around there and then went home and painted! I kept really busy. But excited b/c tomorrow I will be officially starting back to the gym with no excuses b/c my sister in law; whom I started up with, is going back too and we both go more often when we have eachother to keep company. SO NO MORE EXCUSES!!!:bigsmile: :drinker: :happy: So we are getting on the right track! will let you all know tomorrow....
    Hope you all are having a wonderful monday. Excited about Thursday of this week b/c headed to Florida for VACATION! taking daughter to the beach...the last time she went she was a baby....I so want to see her out there having a blast in the sand and in the water! I cannot wait. So....
    Stopping the rambling and telling you all hey and bye and lots of :heart: to the SHGP!!!! Keep it up!! Woohoo!

    Morning all:)
    Sorry taht I didn't stop by yesterday when everyone was MIA! But yesterday was the day that I kicked myself in the you know what!:bigsmile: Well not in dieting but in another form or my lifestyle LOL:laugh:
    So I got ahold of my last college (2006) and requested my transcripts, contacted the VA to change over my GI BILL to the new one taht suplements your housing money:happy: and filled out a million job applications! :happy:
    I hate the thought of going back to college (I feel like an old idiot there) :laugh: but i need to finish what I started or else my money taht I worked so hard for will go to waste! and soon!!:grumble:
    SO that is all good:bigsmile:
    I ate some veggie pizza lastnight , but the kids and I picked about 5 whole pounds of fresh blackberries from down the hill and I have been munching on them :) just gotta figure out waht to make with them:bigsmile:
    I am glad to hear that everyone is doing fine
    today is my day off so I am gonna go WALKING so this 5 pounds stays off and more of its old friends decide to follow its lead:laugh:

    Going to take the lil one and the nephews to the beach and also doing some sort of moms day out luncheon with my sis (whom we are visiting and staying with while down there; woohoo free place to stay) and the kids get to be the chefs and make their own pizzas. So cute! will tryand upload pics when i get back. I dont know how to put pics on here but surely I can figure it out. :tongue:
    Hope everyone is doing great.
    MissV-good luck with college. Its great to get back and do some schooling. Now a days without some sort of education you cant get a decent job. I start next month and it gets to be ALL online. I cant wait. I will get 2 diplomas that will allow me to become a branch mgr or even approve and make loans. Woohoo. I need to start making some more money to start planning a better retirement for the fam and I. If i dont get on before tomorrow I will talk to you all as soon as I can. Maybe can get on while down but if not, Sunday at the earliest. Keep up the great work. Rememeber we ARE the best team out there. We are THE SMOKIN HOT GREEN PEPPERS!!!

    Hey sass - congrats again, nice avatar photo! Girl I haven't logged food in months myself and I don't want to think about my totals, guess that explains my stagnantcy and gains :grumble:

    kitn - we must be on the same wavelength, I made it to the gym yesterday (although Raffy had to practically drag me :laugh: ) and I'm gettin my toes done up today too (haven't been in a month and half) so that's neat!

    Vita, kellya - back in school mode I guess!!! scary I can't imagine all that extra cash when we're so hard pressed as it is, I don't envy you!

    Yall want to hear something weird? You know that advertisement we've seen on here for like EVER, with the girl in the black tank top on the left then in the white shirt to the right super skinny? I think it says she lost 42 lbs of belly and is skinny *****? Well, on my local news this morning, turns out the girl on the right was not the girl on the left and is a local here in Ft. Lauderdale and never gave permission for her image to be used - her mom was totally pissed!!!! I always thought these things aren't supposed to happen?????? Makes queasy to think of all the peoples images that could be used for lewd reasons if I've been looking at that damn commercial for months!!

    kellya - Things in FL are hot, we cleaned out the pool yesterday and started to re-fill, will def never let it get that way again unless I'm draining to fold it up and put away. My shoulders hurt from using the brush broom to clean in weird areas - I may do my cardio at the gym but it's nothin compared to "manual labor" in the back yard with 99 degree temps. I am not cut out for it :laugh: With all that said, it's flippin dark right now at noon cause it's 60 percent chance of rain - murphys law i tell ya. Deck work - another yuck - but nice after the results. You know tht stinks that you didn't get a normal route for bussin after all the seniority........that's alot of money!

    All right - where the dang heck is everyone else? I need my motivators -- I have officially said I'm starting to log again on Monday and gotta beat some more lbs before my 20 year reunion in Oct..

    Kelly......perms SUCK, they are tough to wrap and the longer the hair the tougher....and its not so much that they are hard as much as they are tedious. I like all of what I have learned thus far.....and 1 week left and I finally hit the salon as a Jr. Stylist........cutting hair and coloring!

    I gained another 3 pounds.....now it is coming back on fast......I have got to get this back in gear darnit........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:angry::angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell: :ohwell:

    Good morning ALL!!!!

    So Ive been back but we were so busy yesterday. SORRY! :flowerforyou:
    Had lots of fun in Florida. Got very lil sun b/c it rained everyday from about noon till 8 at night.
    But that didnt stop the fun. We drove down to St Augustine and walked in the pouring rain. LITERALLY!!!
    We left the umbrellas in the car and GOT soaked. Kicked up some puddles and just had fun!
    Sister and I couldnt stop laughing b/c we went down an alley for a short cut and it was about flooded. Water was up passed our ankles....nearly lost our flip flops! :sad: :laugh: But went to the beach just before we left and spent a couple of hours there. Had lots of fun!!!
    Did not do great eating wise there. Sister has lots of snacks....YUMMMM:tongue: But trying to do great now. Drank my water all day Sunday and yesterday. Starting on mine now today. Ate a yummy salad I made sunday with grilled zucchini and peaches for dessert. THE BEST!!!
    I missed you all! Hope you all are doing great.
    Kelly-glad to hear you have gotten off to a good start for the new school year. Kids must be real excited too. My kids are excited to be back too.
    Jacque-Hope your daughter is doing much better and healing well. Been thinking about you and praying for you. :smile:
    Sassie-congrats Mrs. JrStylist. That is great. you will do so great and make manypeople happy. You have a knack for it. :happy:
    Porka-the pool thing sucks...helped my mom do it one year and wont do it again. I was sore for days. Its worse than the gym.
    Well gotta go to lunch. Hope for some great food ideas tocome my way b/c I have no idea what to eat.
    Lots of love to my SHGP and will talk to you all soon!

    Hey buds!!! I have been idle on here since Sunday - get a bit down when I see I was the last one to post for 20 hours :wink: but I have been a bit better - not logging food, but have been to the gym (kickin and screaming the whole way:laugh: ):laugh: but I have Aunt Flo so I was up a few more lbs than usual and my watch felt tight - girls, I was freakin out. Things seem to be getting back to normal now, so I did make it to our meat market place and divided our portions out into 4 oz each then froze, so I should be logging.

    Yesterday was Raffy's birthday, so I bought him an icecream cake from Dairy Queen (it's still in the freezer uncut), took him to our Mexican place for some beers, food and fun - so certainly went over in my mental count but it kinda was lunch and dinner so that's okay. I really didn't buy him a gift but am paying for his license renewal (it has expired so not as cheap as it sounds) so it's more a practical thing....................:glasses: Times are tough and certainly he understands!

    Hurricanes.....................ugh :grumble: :cry: I hope bill stays on his intended track and away from Florida We really need a new roof, it's my hope that we make it through this season unscathed and hopefully by then we can get a equity loan and get a new roof and some fixer uppers.

    How are all of you doing?

    Hey all
    Wow, it been alot going on for everyone! Doing ok, need to get refocus. loss 2 pounds already but missed the gym last night and ate out so 2 very poor choices. But back to the gym today and trying to stay focus.
    FYI
    Read this article over the weekend about sugar free and diet coke. Scared the crap out of me and was a real eye opener. asperataine in diet coke and in nutri sweet and sweet low is really bad it made with formaldihide. So Sunday I went off diet coke and sugar free stuff. I also read that it makes you crave carbs and chocolate more.

    So story time. Back when I had my boobs cut off and I was on FMLA I decided I need to lose weight. I was about 239 lbs. So I went on Diet coke for the first time in my life after 40 years and started the South beach diet. I lost 35 pounds without a problem, did not even exercise due to recovering from sugery and MRSA infection. So That was 5 years ago and I have gain that weight back and added. When I joined this form I weight 257 pounds. I have gotten down to 236 since started but was really strugglling with food. Then all the crap started happing and I had lost my focus. Last week I weight in at 254 pounds and it broke my heart.So after reading this article I realized that even with going to the gym and trying hard the craving were killing me. Since I quit the sugar free and the diet coke I weight yesterday at 248. Now that is just eating in moderation and yes I have ate over 2000 a couple of days, Dinking lime juice in water and been off diet coke and sugar free stuff and been to the gym only 3 days. That is 6 lbs off in lest than a week. And yes I have had regular coke and made sure I count the calorie. So take what u will from this but thought I share this with u all.

    And I am really trying to get back to posting more and sorry things are still so hetic. I just started Microbiology (YUK) and the second job is not bad just keeps me tired. Hope all of you are well

    Wow, it been alot going on for everyone! Doing ok, need to get refocus. loss 2 pounds already but missed the gym last night and ate out so 2 very poor choices. But back to the gym today and trying to stay focus.
    FYI
    Read this article over the weekend about sugar free and diet coke. Scared the crap out of me and was a real eye opener. asperataine in diet coke and in nutri sweet and sweet low is really bad it made with formaldihide. So Sunday I went off diet coke and sugar free stuff. I also read that it makes you crave carbs and chocolate more.

    So story time. Back when I had my boobs cut off and I was on FMLA I decided I need to lose weight. I was about 239 lbs. So I went on Diet coke for the first time in my life after 40 years and started the South beach diet. I lost 35 pounds without a problem, did not even exercise due to recovering from sugery and MRSA infection. So That was 5 years ago and I have gain that weight back and added. When I joined this form I weight 257 pounds. I have gotten down to 236 since started but was really strugglling with food. Then all the crap started happing and I had lost my focus. Last week I weight in at 254 pounds and it broke my heart.So after reading this article I realized that even with going to the gym and trying hard the craving were killing me. Since I quit the sugar free and the diet coke I weight yesterday at 248. Now that is just eating in moderation and yes I have ate over 2000 a couple of days, Dinking lime juice in water and been off diet coke and sugar free stuff and been to the gym only 3 days. That is 6 lbs off in lest than a week. And yes I have had regular coke and made sure I count the calorie. So take what u will from this but thought I share this with u all.

    And I am really trying to get back to posting more and sorry things are still so hetic. I just started Microbiology (YUK) and the second job is not bad just keeps me tired. Hope all of you are well


    Jacque-the article seems interesting to read...can you send me a link or something?
    I am glad you got back into a good routine and lost some weight. And I too have heard about diet coke...I too have tried and for the most part successfully stopped drinking them. Only every now and then I will have one and its half of a 20 oz. Anymore than that and I feel almost sick.
    Hope you can get me the article b/c I would like to read it as well.

    I too have been doing good...went to the gym yesterday for an hour and burned 200 calories....or close to it. Somethings I am not sure what I burned....but going again today.
    Hope to start seeing results within the next few weeks.
    Hope you all are doing great!!! Miss you all and wish you all a great thursday.
