Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Good Morning Sandy and everyone ............ My 2 year old decided that 5 am was a great time to wake up this morning ............ can anyone please explain to her what Saturday and the thought of maybe sleeping in is????

I did my second work out in the Frim program last night. Lordy my arms and legs are sore ........... you would think with the push ups and squats I have been doing that it wouldn't be so shocking to my body but nope .......... it is!

My weight still hovers right at 179-181 it just seems to really like this place it's at ......... I however DO NOT!!!!!!!

I feel like I am abobut to break through it I would really love to get started on the downward trend again soon! I measure on MOnday so we'll see whats happening there.

Today is free ski day at Okemo so Bob is taking Hillary to that and I will be home with the little ones who are looking forward to playing in the snow again today. Here's a few pics of them tromping through thr first good snow of the season yesterday :

Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Dang I thought I would be the early one on here this morning!

I'm up and trying to get ready for the farmer's market today. Tired and I really want a shower but can't get one until AFTER the market (hair takes too long to dry and I am not going to let it freeze on my head)

I'm with you right there with the bad breath Sandy! Even my husband made a comment last night about it.

I was a little surprised with the lack of scale movement this morning - it was the same when I went to bed as it is this morning which usually doesn't happen. But I expect the movement soon because of that. And at least it's still under 160 - which to me right now is what matters.

Made the Taco Bake from Linda's site last night for my kids and myself - and they actually liked it, but requested next time no peppers

Hoping to pick up lettuce today at the market - they weren't there last week and I am completely out! Love their lettuce and really can't stand the supermarket one much anymore. Maybe I'm wierd but their's has more taste to it. I guess because it's fresh.

Oh well - have to go and load up and then let all the animals out before I go and freeze my butt off at the market!!

Heidi..the kids pictures are so cute.. Yep I had a son who got up at 5 every morning.. Although I shouldn't complain he would sleep 7-5 when he was little..and no matter what I tried to do to keep him awake it wouldn't work to make him sleep longer..

Guess all those years of getting up early is why I can't sleep now..lol

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Morning all. I haven't actually checked in muc but still losing. Heidi, take heart...I was stuck at 180 for what seemed like forever and once i hit 177 the losses have been consistently downward again. I set a goal when i started this back in September. Sort of as a way to challenge a friend. She said she wanted to lose 32 pounds by New years, I said ok me too

Well she quit trying a long time ago, but i am only 7 lil pounds away from that goal!!!! Today will likely be spent on the PC since i have some work to do, but i hope everyone has a happy happy saturday.

Good Morning Stacers!

I'm here & accounted for. Finally catching up on my sleep & feeling somewhat human again. TOM is lurking & I have a touch of the uglies today.

Hoping to change that by shutting myself in my sewing room today & having some fun. Will also hit the gym & give the exercise bike a try. I finally got the knee brace prescribed by the ortho doc. Wore it yesterday & what an improvement!!!

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone!! Heidi I am so jealous. I wish it would snow here, but it is supposed to be almost 80 degrees this afternoon. I swear I was born in the wrong part of the country!! Hope everyone is doing well. We have birthday parties all weekend and basketball practice this morning for my 8 year old. My two youngest wil be 5 and 6 on Tuesday. I can't believe how fast they are growing up! Have a great day!!!

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Good morning everyone. I am new here and need to vent. I am just starting out and trying very hard to stay on track. I've had a rough yr and it isn't getting better. 6 months ago my little sister (42) was diag w/ breast cancer, so far so good with chemo, but still scared. My dad is in the final stages of dementia. That is a very sad desease. I live about 120 miles from him and wanted to visit this weekend, but have a nasty cold and expecting yet another ice storm this weekend. Yesterday, the best boss I have had in 35 years found out he has colon cancer and only has about 6 months. This will be a hard journey to lose any weight, but I am worried about my own health now. I hope I can do as well this time around as I did the first time. This seems to be a very supportive board so I hope to post often and support as well as be supported.

Good Morning!
Yesterday's trip to LA went well and seeing my dd again is like having the lights turned on in my world again! Her sweet little face, smiling, laughing, hugging, talking... it's so good to have her home... I love her soooooo much!

So, today is a BIG day here. It's the CIF championship game for Football and my son is playing... I've been thinking we need to make big signs get some car paint, I'm going to wear my son's other jersey and paint my face!!!! lol! you know with the black stuff under my eyes like he does...

Seriously I'm soooooo stoked... It's going to be a wonderful day. I'm up early and about to go for a awalk, then I'm off the the grocery store and to get car paint and signs... I almost don't even care that the stupid scale won't go below 175... Maybe it's muscle since I'm working out more???? I'm not going to obcess about it... keep on keeping on...

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Morning, all. I've been awake for several hours but it's raining and dh and I spent a couple of hours nesting in bed, drinking coffee and chatting,etc. SOOOOO nice after a long week. <sigh of bliss>

I didn't weigh this morning - TOM has done a number on me and I'm just not interested in what the scale says. My jeans are looser and that is what counts for me right now - I'm not bloated and my tummy seems smaller.

Today I'm going to drop dh at work and then do some shopping. Then come home and putter around the house - just relaxing. Rainy days are nice for that.

Nan - sorry about all of the losses you are experiencing. The thing you can do is to stay strong and healthy yourself, and that's what you are doing. Keep it up.

Hopejoy - go VC! I'll be thinking of you - and one day when my hip is better I'll join ya at aqua aerobics, girl!

Have a lovely day,all.

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

I Just ran 3 miles without stopping or walking!!!!!! I feel great too!

I think it's because I'm so excited and happy today, that and I ditched the dog... without her I'm less 75 lbs of pure squirrliness... so much easier to run without her! he he! (don't worry, dh took her out for a run with the golf cart.)

Evermind, water aerobics would be great, that and I think we should aim for a 10 k when your hip mends... although, I'm kinda slow... but that would be fun to work towards... huh? waddaya think?

partytrouble... cookies sound like trouble to me. I am still too weak for cookie making activities... I am going to try my hand with some of the sugar free kinds on Linda's website....

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

Gotta tell you this best thing happened at the market. My friend who I hadn't seen since July at the 4-H fair interupts my conversation with her and said "You've lost a TON of weight" - and of course right now she's my bestest friend in the world - LOL

Party - I live in Loudoun County but grew up in Fairfax

Lived here my whole life (not much adventure but watching this place grow!)

Re: Sat Roll Call 12/08/07

It is RAINING big style in the UK today and I just got back from doing a bit of christmas shopping. I live next to the coast and boy was it windy! We did a side step into Starbucks for a coffee, so no doubt the caffeine is going to keep me awake for the rest of the evening (its 8.15pm now)

Im stuck between 173-175 at the moment, its driving me potty.
