Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

[partytrouble]

Okay, it is after midnight my time so technically it is Thursday, although I haven't gone to bed yet!! It seems lately I can't post until late at night, and most everyone is already asleep by then, so I wanted to give everyone a GOOD MORNING!!!!! I am to excited to sleep (see my spastic post about fitting into a size 8 dress).

Hope everyone has a great legal Thursday and remembers NOT TO MAKE excuses, but to make choices that will benefit us. There is nothing worse than waking up in the morning with that regret of having eaten poorly the night before. A quote I like is this one: We all must suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment. Wear your discipline proudly!!!

Good Morning Everyone.. I am working at the campground this morning.. Lots of temptations.

Weather is crazy here today.. we are on a snow/sleet/rain line.. This is Virginia.. we do not know how to drive in snow...and they never touch our roads ahead of time either..

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

We had snow all evening last night, it turned to freezing rain and this morning the trees have iced up....the roads are warm and clear, the kids are in school, but there is a good bit of snow on the ground.
I have woken up thinner, and exhausted from work and the puppy...who sleeps in a basket by my bed...at 3:30 she walked up my chest, that tells me that basket no longer will hold her...at 4:30 I could not find her on the bed, and had to turn on lights and there she was curled up on the floor on a blanket...she must have fallen.
She is asleep in the chair next to me...
I think I have a sinus headache. Got to cook meals for a friend and go to a funeral today...

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Good morning all.
Partytrouble--yea on the size 8!!!
Sandy--I remember when we lived in VA, outside of DC, people used to just stop and walk away from their cars when it snowed. The didn't even pull over to the side of the road. Just stopped in traffic. It was infuriating!!
Jess--I hope you feel better. Your puppy is so adorable. I miss having a dog.

sheepie, Hi!

So I lost that 5 lbs I gained yesterday plus one more... go figure! it was water wt gain I'm sure! Yesterday I gussled it down! My MRI went fine... haven't heard anything back yet, but they said 'no news is good news...' they only usually call you when they have something bad to say... I also saw my doctor yesterday because my ear is killing me! I have pus behind the eardrum... even though I'm on antibiotics... I have to stay on them ANOTHER 10 days... also got some difulcan for the yeast infection... ha! isn't life grand! but I lost a lb so I'm a happy camper.
Have a great day everyone! Stay legal! Cheating is just not worth it!

Hey All!
Well I am here and feeling great! I am on track and sooo happy about that! I had a real hard time getting back on track after Christmas but I good to go now! I have even started exercising which I am very proud about! Well I have lost 3.6 of the 7.2 pounds (of mostly water wieght I am sure) I gain over my holiday indulgences and I hope that today I lose even more! Have a great day!
Oh yeah and Sandy...We go through almost the same thing here in Maine when we have the first snow storm of the season. It is like no one has ever driven in snow, they drive so slow and all over the place! So their "trying to be careful" actually causes more accidents than had they just drove normally. AGGHH!! (Me I stay home! I hate driving in the snow so I just don't...it is better that way!! Ha Ha Ha)

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Sounds like everyone is doing good this morning.

Partytrouble--I love that quote! It is so true.

I'm up 3 lbs. Let's see...the culprit could be: the hazelnut flavored coffee I had yesterday (black, unsweetened, but still...god only knows what that "hazelnut flavoring" was...), the one piece of sugar free gum I chewed yesterday, Perhaps something in the marinade of the chicken I bought at a Restaurant (this is probably the real culprit), or the feta cheese and olives I ate the last two nights (dairy).

It's okay though. Back to eating ONLY the foods I prepare myself and it'll go away...

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Morning everyone! Well because of the anticipated ice/snow mix in VA I'm not going down to get the goats - no biggie especially since I am very tired and it turned out to be day 1 of TOM which caused me to go up a pound. Wasn't expecting it at all - and I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing I didn't have the usual PMS symtoms - at least then I would have been warned!!

Gotta go as I slept in big time and now I need to go and let everyone out.

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Good morning all. Today the scale drifted down to a new number 167.4 So i am happy. It's enought to push me onward. My butt and thighs hurt from some lunges i did yesterday. I feel good today.

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Good morning! I weighed in at 166.2lbs. this morning... I'm feeling good about that... since my restart at 173 was about 11 days ago...

Hamburger Broccoli Alfredo Casserole WAS AWESOME last night!!

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Good Morning, Everyone

Quick in and out, here...

- still holding steady at 123

- can't seem to stay consistent with the exercise

- am willing to give the exercise another try today

Have a great, focused day!

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Good morning, everyone! Yep, it's snowing here, too. It's actually snowing pretty hard since we're near the mountains. The winter storm warning says 3-6 inches, which is a pretty good amount. (We used to get a pretty good amount of snow when I was growing up in VA, but now we only get it a couple of times a year.) School is out, so I took advantage of a free morning to get my 2 mile indoor walk in already.

Congratulations to all the losers out there! And to everyone - Keep on keeping on!

Re: Roll Call 1-17-08!!!!

Morning all!

Last night was Boot Camp class - what a killer - love it!

Today, I'm at 114 - not too bad. I can definitely see and feel a difference in my body - finally getting toned. Funny thing - the other day, I was booking a B-day party for my almost 4 year old at a gymnastics gym and was talking to the lady about how strange it was to be in that type of facility again - I competed in gymnastics for 12 years - she asked if I wanted a job - whoa! I would love to work there, but not teaching kids. Kinda sad? My idea of a job is getting AWAY from the kids - Mom of the year, 'eh? Anyhooooooooooooo, the offer was really nice.

Today I am taking a day off from the gym. My one day a week off from the gym - and I feel guilty about not going. I love it. I'm going to go to the mall and do a little retail therapy. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shopping...

In other non exciting to the average normal person news - My 2 year old took a poop on the potty this morning, great! Then proceeded to poop on a chair near the computer, step in it and drag doo-doo all over my lovely cream carpet. Oy! I really need some retail therapy

Hope you all have a great day!
