  1. Off to Harrahs....again. Getting a little tired of going, but Louis wants to :) Plus we got free food along with the free nights lol.

  2. Good day....Started week 6 of couch to 5K this morning, then did my 2 month measurements, next up cleaning the bathroom (trying to do a room a day), then do another chapter of microbiology.

  3. Greenbeans from our garden are pretty tasty....I must be easily impressed lol.

  4. What is wrong with my children & where have I gone wrong as a parent? It's becoming very clear why our house is a disaster area - because no one cares at all about it's cleanliness except for me. The kids find a random corner of the house & use it as a trash can. A month later, I find an enormous pile of disgusting trash, and its alway somewhere not visible & somewhere I don't go often. No matter how many times I ask them, they don't clean anything up unless I am right on top of them, down th...

  5. I just placed our pick-up order for Carlo's Bakery (Cake Boss!) in Hoboken, NY :) Should be a fun, long experience waiting in line lol.

  6. Can't wait till summer semester is over! Immediately after, we're going to NYC, but as soon as we get back (and recuperate a little lol), I'm going to finally get to scrubbing the house. Which will be right before I go back to school in the fall & am busier then ever & therefore the house will be dirtier than ever

  7. I've been lurking on this thread for awhile So happy for you, congrats!!! Your life is going to gradually & radically change over the next few years lol
  8. 40 lb down as of today, yay!

  9. Here we go again....time to spend a few hours in the giant crock pot I call a car lol.

  10. Oh man.....looong dirty day :) 6 hours in my hot no-AC route car. It was a lot hotter inside it than the 105 it was outside....I'm thinking it was about 130 inside, I felt like I was getting slow roasted all day.

    Elbows Nsv--Anyone Else?

    I had the roughest scaly elbows as well. I'm 7 weeks post-op and they are nice & soft Its not because of an increase in fat for me at least, I've been averaging 30-40 grams a day, and had way more than that pre-op.
  14. And now I've got a piece of firework in my eye. What a great end to a great day.

    Pre-Op Diet Today!

    I was so excited to start my pre-op diet today. I'm required to do the 3 day diet, but I wanted to do the 2 week diet (starting with protein shakes & salad). Am I crazy?? Maybe lol. I've had a horrible day today, everything went wrong and even though I adjusted my insulin pump, I still was low half the day & extremely grumpy. It doesn't help that I have a bunch of finals to study for. Stress city!!!

    July 4Th Challenge

    UPDATE: I am now 186, so I've lost 9.5 lb since the start of the challenge and I've got 6.5 lb left to make it to my goal and a week and a half to do it in I guess I'm actually right on target for the 4 lb a week loss. I had a 10 day stall in the middle of this, so that didn't help, we'll see how it goes by then, I'm probably due for another stall soon lol. Oh, goal #2 - I started C25K and just completed W3 D1 this morning and already sent my paperwork in for the 5K in September. Loving it! I'm almost 30 lb lighter than the last time I did C25K 5 years ago.

  19. Going to go take a test in a couple of hours, then we've got a fun couple of days for us and boys planned - fondue tonight (Jacob's first time!), free room Harrah's, then free breakfast, taking the boys to MIB3 and then having a belated Father's Day celebration.

    Cleaned Out My Closet

    I am almost 5 weeks post-op and I only have about 5% of my closet left. We had a garage sale last week & I sold all my clothes for cheap. The rest went to Goodwill. I went to the last day of a church sale 2 weeks ago & got 3 huge lawn sized garbage bags full of clothes to last me till I get to goal. Jeans sizes 2-16 & shirts sizes XS-L. All for 6 bucks lol. Some of it is super cute too, I just can't imagine ever fitting into most of it. I separated it out into a "small" bag in the back of my closet, a "medium" bag in front of that & I washed all the 12's-16's to wear now I'm just lacking in XL shirts for right now.
  21. Totally changed my mind. Today WAS study day, but now it's LAZY day :)

  22. Week 1 C25K done. Let me tell you lol, I was zooming today :) Jacob couldn't keep up lol.

  23. Free Schlitterbahn here we come lol! Last year we had 2 BOGO tickets and the 4 of us went for the price of 2. Well, to our surprise, they also gave us 4 free tickets because their park wasn't done yet. So! That's 8 admissions for the price of 2! What a great deal :)

  24. The wind slammed my car door on my knee yesterday before work and now it's all bruised and sore, it's like it has a goose egg on it lol.

  25. This place is really cool, oddly I love old stuff like this - seeing how they used to do stuff, all Little House on the Prairie.
