WWJD!!! & she's a church lady & a pastor's wife! HA HA HA HA HA!

[TracyK 3]

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!

I told DH about your post, Terry and he high fived me. lol He thought it was great!

We got the patio blocks in the entrance to the yard and tomorrow I'll have to backfill in with some topsoil. We have one gate to make on the new fencing and that will be done. I got lots of stuff at JoAnn Fabrics for the garden at 70% off. I did my half hour in the pool and I'm sooooooooo glad to get back in it. It finally got up to 80 today so hope it stays that way for awhile. As long as it doesn't get into the 50's at night it should be ok. sheeeeesh it sounds like I'm doing a Kindergarten Show and Tell moment!!!

DD made pasties and we're having those for supper. I'll just eat a half of one. The Jimmy Johns "un"sandwich was wonderful today. I've got a watermelon to cut up for dessert tonight.

TracyK - I'm off on Friday, too!!! I told my mom I'd come visit with her,but maybe I should come with you instead!! We didn't get a drop of rain on my side of town today (YET). We even had a pool going at the office to see what time it would start, and it never did!

I swear ya'll...I AM going to make myself a WWJD bracelet! (I bead.) I'll take a pic of it for you whenever I finish it.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OUR CRUISE IDEA??? What floats out of Norfolk?

[Teachlady 3]

Well, DH and I had a pastie for supper. It was really yummy, but I'm feeling the effects of it. I feel uncomfortably stuffed. I had the insides and about half the crust of one. It probably didn't amount to more than a cup of veggies and meat, but I haven't had any carb laden stuff since April and I certainly will not be having any again!! I'm burping and feeling really stuffed.. like after Thanksgiving. DH was raised on Cornish pasties and it's one of my favorites. We indulged this once. Now we both know better. I'm finishing up my Water for the day and then heading to the couch to watch some tv.

Everyone have a great evening... sleep well and remember to follow those bandster rules!!!

WWJD!!

I'm home, the hay is done....and so am I for tonight!! Actually it was only one of the smaller fields. Our son got the other one last night, bless his heart, I knew he was my favorite son!

I am tired and sore. Going to go for a ride here in a little bit, and then sleep! I will likely check in after we get home from riding---I simply cannot go to sleep early!!!!

TTYL---

WWJD.......it fits....she does her BEST to keep us in line....but speaking of Kindergarten...it can't be easy!!!!!

I'm heading over to the chat room if anyone wants to join me!

Hi all, I'm home from work, beat.

anyway, I'm off tomorrow so I'll post some info on the Curise out of Norfolk. I am going to my friends house in the morning after the gym so I can color her hair and I convinced her to seperate mine for me so I can color it. the top is going to have a little more red it in and the bottom 1/2 is jet black, I always do it myself, I just need someone to pull them apart for me.

I hope you all have a good night, i'm beat

...Haydee: where are you today?

MS_Jen, Josie, PUddy, GR8 and all others ... how are things this fine Wednesday?

Today was my day to work. I work every Wednesday and every other week end. Friday I work 4-7 then off to a Jazz concert featuring Rick Bruan, Johnathan Butler (I call him my other man.

Got a fill yesterday and am more hungry than ever. Go figure!?! I was running late this morning so I didn't have a chance to fix a snack. Ended up eating a bag of Sun chips and this afternoon before I hit the gym a South Beach Cereal bar. That sent my carbs way up and my calories just under 1200 for the day and I'm still hungry. Oh well.

[adorable 1]

wooohoo! well I broke down and bought a new pair of pants tonight. My 22's were getting too big - I can pull them down without unbuttoning them LOL...so now I'm down to a 20. They're just a TINY bit snug but they haven't even been worn yet. 5 more pounds and they'll fit the way I like them.

So my shirts - I started out in a 3x, and I'm down to a 2x...doesn't seem like much since I've lost almost 40 lbs so far this year, but it sure feels good!

TracyinKS - you look absolutely fabulous!!!! I sure wish you were smiling too...you have such a beautiful smile....your personality sure shines through your smile and your eyes. You're a beautiful woman, inside and out.

Terri - You crack me up...now *I* need a WWJD bracelet!!!

Jennifur - Those sunchips nachos sound pretty yummy...I'm going to have to try them this weekend for my treat!

TracyK - you reminded me, I need Friday off! I don't know - a day off sounds really good right about now LOL

Judy - you are such an inspiration....we're so lucky to have you here. I need motivation to exercise!! HELP! LOL

mdrai - you're looking good! keep up the good work!

[TerriDoodle 6]

Judy - you are such an inspiration....we're so lucky to have you here. I need motivation to exercise!! HELP! LOL

HAVE NO FEAR, GYM NAZI IS HERE!!!

Denise - First of all you need to set some small attainable goals. Whether it's walking 3 blocks a day or 3 miles per week or whatever. Then post your goals in your signature line so that you are accountable. We will help keep you on target! Last month I feel behind and I was so mad because it made me look 'bad' in front of the Violets. I swore I wouldn't repeat that and I haven't. This month I will beat my own goal. It works! For me, doing my chosen exercise works best if I do it (almost) every day so that I work it into my routine and tend not to blow it off....like brushing my teeth. What kind of exercise do you think you'd like to do for starters?

[TracyK 3]

TracyK - I'm off on Friday, too!!! I told my mom I'd come visit with her,but maybe I should come with you instead!! We didn't get a drop of rain on my side of town today (YET). We even had a pool going at the office to see what time it would start, and it never did!

I swear ya'll...I AM going to make myself a WWJD bracelet! (I bead.) I'll take a pic of it for you whenever I finish it.

Terri - I am game if you are. I will PM you my cell phone number.

As far as the rain...working right on the coast, we literally watched it coming toward us, so it was really no surprise when it hit.

I want a WWJD Bracelet too!!

I was down again this morning to 215. I love when I get a whooosh!

Everyone have a great day and remember what Judy judy always says...

Alright TracyK what is your secret

I gained another lb, I was at 219 and now back up to 222. I don't think I'm making bad choices - I don't get it! I'm now eating some whole grains and fruit and vegies and I'm gaining!!!!! Can I take the bridge. I'm ready to do Protein Shakes for a few days again - I am following the rules, I am even following an old diet that I was given at the beginning. I can't gain - that is just not acceptable!

[TerriDoodle 6]

Jenn - I gain and lose 2-3 # every day! Stay with your experiment for a week or so. DO NOT PANIC.

[TerriDoodle 6]

Good morning violets...I was down to 218.5 this morning, which is great but I am not going to Celebrate too soon the way things have been bouncing back and forth. But, I am not going to weigh again till friday that way if it does bounce back up, I won't know it.

TracyK - You lied! Oh well, who cares!!? CONGRATULATIONS!
