You've been able to cut out some of your HBP meds and ev erything.... crap, crap, crap. I am sending you HUGS as I know how disappointed you must be feeling right about now. (((HUGS))) My Scale was not cooperating with me this a.m. although I hadn't had my BM yet :smile2: so I know I'll be lower... but I went to my quilt class, rushed home, dyed my hair, ran to the hairdressers WET, she did a fresh cut, had a French manicure, dashed to the bank - got out my BIG diamond dinner ring... got my slinky black dress ready for Peter's big night tonight. Its his Retirement Mess Dinner on the Military base. Kids are coming up for this dinner and parade tomorrow... GOD, I don't know what I'll wear tomorrow!!! But tonight is covered! Drinking lots of tea today, hopeing to flush through a lot of 'water' weight today for the big w/i in :cool2:the morning!!!

Janet; Oh I wish I enjoyed cleaning like you do! I only "do it" when I have company coming and I'm under pressure LOL I can always find something I'd rather do, even exercise is better than CLEANING ha,ha... Oh and you are so right about the friendships that we've made since banding. When I talk about you guys to other people, they say "where did you meet all these friends"... I say on the internet GASP!!! Its o.k. my friends aren't into kiddie porn and I am not 12 yrs old... They are REAL people whom I have lots in common with. I remember last summer when I said I was driving to Wisconcin to meet up with Linda.... people couldn't beleive it. ANd look at how much FUN we all had. Linda was a doll and we yaked all the way across 2 states. I can't wait to meet Kari(Michigan) as I got so close to meeting her last summer. ANd VEGAS was such a blast... can't wait for the N.O. Cruise and then we can all meet Denise in person! How cool will that be. AND you get to meet up with Karri this weekend. You will have quality MOM and DD time :ihih: Gotta buy some pantyhose today and get dressed up fussy for tomorrow night. It's my DH Mugging OUT mess dinner in celebration of his retirement... so dress is formal. I didn't want to buy anything as I plan on losing more weight befoare my DD wedding in Oct. SO a girl at work brought in 3 formal dresses from home for me to 'borrow' .... they look pretty good.. I send pictures I promise!! Have a great day ladies, and STEPHANIE and KARLA stay out of trouble on your gettaway:lol:

YEAH Karla; whoo-hoo , One for our NORTHERN Team!!! Weighed this am. no BM and no change in the scales. But I am optimistic for tomorrow! I rode my bike again today to work, learned two things this a.m. 1) Keep my mouth closed while biking ( I swallow extra protien YUK) 2) Don't wear lip gloss ( the bugs stick to it) Working on my first px of the day, the ALARM goes off! WTF I know I turned the alarm off properly, so I don't know what's happening there. Although it could be the Dentists office next door? Good food day yesterday; but ate 2 choc puddings (SF, FF)

2:30 havn't had my lunch yet ---- I AM HUNGRY!!

Ah, that's a bummer Phyl. Earl not coming to Canada? Peter was kinda looking forward to meeting Earl and Mel.. SInce Earl and Peter both have their military careers in common PLUS they FRUGALNESS!! They could have big debates on the economy and how to pinch pennies in retirement!! LOL But if you do come alone will you fly? I can arrange for a walker for you to use while you're here if you need. Just let me know o.k.? My house is a ranch style so the only stairs are to the lower rec room and other alternate bedrooms... But I'll put you on the main floor. I have 2 guest bedrooms upstairs (main level) and two more downstairs... Girls; the 5 lb challenge is NOT over yet. We all have until Friday morning o.k. if you can't make the 5 lbs that's o.k. it the getting there and the NEW habits that are important. I didn't get any exercise yest, but I'll remedy that tonight.

Good morning Ladies! Cold, cold, cold here this morning!! WTF the weather man must have his HEAD up his ARSE!! I want SPRING!!! I want SUMMER!!! Going to have to put tons of clothes on today to go biking... Going to visit DM this aft and then to listen to my hubby's band play at a restaurant in town. Did o.k. with my food yesterday, considering we had company, I had steak(2 oz) and dessert (170 cals)... Scale was kind this morning, not up but not down...:thumbup:

I already pe selected my food for today... Cals 1159 Exercise 45 mins. = 221 Cals burned... Gardening/housecleaning/laundry

Oh you lucky birdy, you'll have a blast together!!!

Karla, I am glad that your Dad has you to worry about him.. Sounds to me as if you two are very close. You are so lucky to still have him.. I still miss my Dad and he passed away in 1977.. Isn't a day goes by that he is not in my thoughts. I love your idea about the WL Queen, too funny... and its all about fun, that way we will all KEEP on Keepin on. :blushing:

Phyl, you make me laugh... the sitting on the Wii board to do tha last balance test... Its a candle and flame, if you sit there concentrate and stare at the candle thru all the interuptions it throws at you... then you get to the end... relaxed.. Its really kinda cute. But I know what you mean about getting down on the floor and sittin on it.. I have trouble with the Downward DOg pose because I have to put my Hands on the Wii board and my wrists don't like all my weight Janet; the board backwards:biggrin: that is too funny GF!~ I can only do the 5th level balanceing boards, and PHYL is alrready up to 7 or 8 I think my core is getting stronger with the biking... For this ol' gal to keep from falling over on the bike is a riot.. AS long as I am moving and have momentum I am great... but I am sure car drivers kill themselves laughing when I stop at a corner and have to put a foot down for balance... I just about fall over every time! :blushing: O.K. Gotta go vacuum my house, been procrastinating long enuf.

NSV... my hubby has been away this week..... I have NOT eaten JUNK.... did you hear me???? NO JUNK!!!! I've journaled my food, gotten off my fat ass and exercised.... I am liking the bike for transportation. Now the real test will be on Sunday, when I visit my Mom.... usually there are Goodies Galore that are hard to resist...plus I do this emotional eating behaviour too.... ARGH~~~ I will make a plan for sunday!~~~( I promis Janet)

more later... I am yappy tonight eh???
