Good Morning violets... Everyone have a great day! WWJD? Take care...

Hope you all can read it through all that crap!!

<p><p>

Pamela-now that is what I call a closet!!! OMg it is bigger than my bedroom!! lol thanks for sharing the pics, ya'll have done a great job!! Kat-here I am!! :eek: Everyone have a great monday!! I am finally off my TOM thank goodness and the scale is back at 215. Now I feel like I can start over where I left off :woot: Take care everyone!! WWJD

LMAO...heres one *If you go through McD drive thru and order a double cheeseburger with no bread, you might be a bandster...

WOOHOOO Kat...That is so awesome. I am so incredibly happy for you!! Denise, that list is a riot. I read it to my DH and he laughed too. Thanks for that!! I needed a good laugh. Hi Terri Everyone have a great day!

Pamela...underwater basket weaving? LMAO.... sounds like my kinda thing...lol

I would want to be a stay at home mom, unfortunately I can't. Maybe in a few years, but not right now :cry I am going to ask my company if I can wor 3 days a week instead of 5. If they say no, which they probably will, I will explore other options. Seems like after so many years of service that they would say yes, but I just don't think they will. But, I can't just sit back and wonder, I just have to grab the bull by the horns and ask. I wish we still had our president that used to be there, he would have said yes for sure. As far as the books, that is a great idea. I am gonna check it out!! Thanks for the advice

Good morning violets-Happy Saturday Has anything like this happened to any of you? Last night I had one jack in the box taco....and to tell you the truth, it wasn't that good...I used to love them. Last week (or was it the week before) I took a small bite of my DD sonic hamburger, bread and all, the bread was so gross tasting to me that I spit it out. I just wonder if my taste buds have changed or have I brainwashed myself? Either way works for me!! Made me think I am not really missing out on anything like I thought I was. This may just be my PMS talking but, here goes... I feel so stuck in a rut. I have been doing the same job for about 17 years. I am OK with what I do it is just the same thing day after day...I will never go any further there. I sit behind a desk all day long and it is really starting to get old. My DH would probably not bellieve his eyes if he read this next part....I would be willing to take a pay cut to do something different but it is hard to find M-F jobs that aren't behind a desk. I do not want to just sit behind a desk anymore. Since my DD is so young, I would need a M-F day job. What is a woman to do? Sometimes I wish that I were just part-time that way I could do other things with my spare time...which I really don't have right now. I don't think my employers would go for that though. I guess I could ask, but when you know what the outcome is gonna be, why ask? Spare time, hmmmm, what is that like? Ugh....OK, that is enough of that right now. I just get really down about this situation at times and today is one of those days. Everyone have a great weekend and I will check in later. Take care...

Great picture ladies, you are all so beautiful and look so happy! What a group! Glad you all had a good time! Everyone have a great evening. (and cheer up jenifur)

WOOHOOO!! That is a great NSV....feels great doesn't it? There are many many more to come!! ENJOY!! :confused: I have no clue what the scales say because I took Terri's advice and put the scales in the closet. No scales for me until Aunt Flow is gone. Hello everyone...have a great day...

Men....i wish they could all have ONE menstrual cycle...just ONE full week.....ARRGGGGHH!

Tracy...what beautiful rings!!!! I love them...you go girl :car:

Thanks everone about the kind words on my dd pic. Kat-I loved reading your story about your grand daughter!! I was under the impression that I could not have kids. She was a big surprise to not just me but my DH and the whole family!! My DH has 2 kids from his first marriage, but Macy is my only natural child. She weighed 9 pounds when she was born. She turns 4 next month and I can hardly believe how fast the time has passed. I would have liked to had another baby but she is far more than I ever expected. Since that made 3 for my DH I decided she was enough for me. She is my girl...God saw fit for me to have her and I can not thank him enough. When I got the band I knew that I had a year and a half before she starts public school. I never wanted her to come home from school crying because one of her "friends" said her mommie is fat. Kids have enough issues these days and I did not want her to have to defend me. So, that is why I decided to do something about it. It would kill me for her to cry over me and feel like she has to defend me. I am her biggest role model and I will not let her down. I can't. Being her mother is the biggest responsibility I have. I want her to have the best life possible, therefore, I am going to lead by example. She deserves the best I can offer, so I have to strive to be the best. OK, enough about that... Have a great day!

Mommas princess

Good morning everyone... Michelle-YAY you for your -6 That is awesome!! Kat-You are right, over half way there. I can't hardly believe it myself!! It was a great homecoming for my daughter. I missed her so incredibly much!! She is the light of my life! I will post a pic of her later. Laura-I can so relate to your post about hurting in the legs & back. Isn't it great to be virtually pain free? When my DH and I went to Vegas in Feb is when I knew I had to do something...I hurt so bad walking down the strip that I was in tears. Those days are gone!! Well, rain here again today. At least we had one or 2 dry days. It is pouring so bad here right now that I am going to just wait it out instead of driving to work in it. My boss won't mind. He's cool. I had 3 guys at work comment on my weight loss at work. It feels good when the men say something because they (unlike some women) will tell the truth!! Houston gals-Sure wish I could have been there. I am glad you all had a good time. can't wait to see the pics!! Everyone have a super day. Aunt Rose is visiting me so my restriction is unreal and I am cramping SO bad!! This is definitely a day I want to stay in bed with a heating pad....oh well, I can dream... Take care everyone!

Congrats Tracy!!! I am so happy for you!! Everyone have a great day!

Wow...just took a long bubble bath and I realized that my garden tub is actually big now....or maybe I am smaller?....either way, I have room in it to play now Everyone have a good night!! PS, My DD is staying at my sisters again tonight I miss her

Hi Violets... I am just sitting around the house waiting for my sister to call to meet me for me to get macy from her. I sure miss my DD...I loved the momma time but I am going to be very glad to see my babygirl again! yesterday I ate like a hog...but, I am not gonna dwell on it. I think every once in a blue moon that is a good thing to do...I mean we are human after all, right? Judy-Congrats on the 3 more pounds! I am so happy for you! My next goal is the 20somethings...then...onederland! It seems like a dream. But, dreams do come true. Right now I am out of books to read. I am waiting patiently for Amazon to deliver my 6 books I ordered. I have replaced eating with reading. I have read so many books that I will be able to open up a used book store by the time I get to my goal weight! Pamela...try not to be sad....Friday will be here in no time! Everyone have a great day!

Hi violet sistas... Just taking a break from my break I wanted to pop in and say hello!

Good morning! Everyone have a great day! Rain here, again. Judy-best of luck with Garage sale Part II. Terri-Your idea about the pedicure is a great idea (the nap is a given, especially today) A whole weekend without having to watch Blues Clues or Barbies Fairytopia....I am not gonna know how to act!! Take care everyone!

Terri BUSTED ME!!!:eek: Oh well, have you ever just had a feeling that you should get on the scale? something just MADE me do it!! Anyway, I am very glad I did, otherwise if it went back up I would have never known it actually went down...thats my story and I'm sticking to it:ermm Jenn-No secret on my end. I am sorry that you are still bouncing but it will get better, I promise! Well, I have loads & loads of laundry to do...so I better get to it! Haydee-I agree with Terri about LauBerge...nice place, but we have never won squat there. I did really well playing blackjack once, but the slots don't pay. Stick with Coushatta or Delta Downs.

Thank you all :biggrin1: :rain:Boy this rain today has been a real frog strangler....and from what I hear, it will be like this for 3 more days!!! I am so glad tomorrow is Thursday...I took Friday off. My DS will have my DD for the weekend, so its momma time!! I am running over to the casino to have ome FUN! My DH hung a lip, but he is working and I am not sitting here and not doing anything! he will just have to get glad in the same pants he got mad in. For those who can't have a BM...I found something that works (for me anyway). Drink some crystal light then about 30 minutes later drink some slimfast. That stuff does not mix and within 30 minutes it will be bathroom time....and I mean make sure you are near one! OK, TMI i know...:rolleyes Terri-I nearly pee pee'd on myself with the WWJD comment. Sad part, is I knew where you going with that before you actually said it...LOL Everyone have a spectacular evening!
