Yep Suzie, I think it's time to change my avatar... I'll do it when I get home because it does take me forever to figure out how to get it up... I'm so picture manipulating illiterate...

[TracyK 3]

Haydee-beautiful!! I can't wait to meet you in person!

Hi violets! Just PB'd on chicken (so what else is new). That was fun...NOT!

Laura-enjoy red lobster....eat some for me too!

Happy birthday Laura!!!!!! Hope that you're having a good day!!!

Haydee you're beautiful!!!!!!!! Wow, such a pretty smile, such pretty hair...just beautiful!

Jenn - my thoughts and prayers are with you...

TracyinKS - I cannot get below 206!!!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong...exercising, eating right, eating under 1100 cals a day...most days it's under 1000. Drinking plenty of Water....I'm going to ask for a darn fill on the 11th! But I don't really feel hungry...??

Hello to everyone else!!! Hope everyone had a great Tuesday!!!

Jenn, just got in from work and sorry to hear of your grandmother. I echo in the sentiments sending you purple power!

Haydee great picture of you!! Doesn't it make you feel good!!!

I had my boot camp this morning and my legs are feeling like jelly!! I am sitting here eating things I shouldn't be. I am giving up cake, candy, and Cookies for lent. I stood in line over an hour to vote!!! So aggravating!!!!

Michelle, I don't know how you can stand that secret!!! Are you walking around with a perpetual smile just thinking!!!!

Have a good night everyone!!

Long day today and I'm really tired. So much for the snow we were to get. Now they are sayng after midnight but i think it's starting to come down now in Kansas. I have to work at Curves tomorrow and it's also our day to volunteer at the hospital.

I hardly ate anything today. Just don't feel like it. I'm liking this though. Best way to lose weight. And I need to really get busy at that. We got our letter in the mail today. Our Family Reunion is this July. It's held every 3 years because there are so many of us and we are spread out all over the states. I need to walk in there holding my head high with pride.

Did you all have a good CTCD?

Hope everyone had a great day. I'll check-in in the morning and maybe the Water Patrol will feel like being On-Duty.

Good evening, Violets..

Just got in from the hot tub. Well, I survived Fat Tuesday. Didn't even see a single paczki. This is the 4th day in a row I haven't had anything between meals. I did part of a Richard Simmons tape today before I had to go to bell choir, plus the mini-trampoline plus exercises in the hot tub. The bobster is giving up sloth and drinking with meals. He's never gone a whole meal without drinking something even though I keep telling him that's a no no... so he's going to try doing it for Lent. As for the sloth... he isn't getting enough exercise, so he'll boost that up.

Ethan comes at 8 tomorrow morning and I have a flute rehearsal at 9. Then I'm with him all day until choir at 6.

Everyone have a good evening. sleep well!

NO snow for us today---yeeehaw!!

We too went and voted, and come home, had dinner, and now just vegging in front of the TV. I should go hit the elliptical, but I am coming down with a cold, and simply don't feel like it, so am not doing it!

Laura, hope you are having a nice dinner for your birthday!

Everyone take care see ya in the morning.

hi gals

just checking in. Long ass day, but I have not killed my aunt and have kept my mouth shut. Some are very proud of me, and others just don't now how much she is pushing my buttons, but she did just loose her mom but the thing that boggles my mind the most is that she was in the convent working on becoming a num and she does not believ in god. How does that happen?????? But god or no god, it has been a very spiritual experience for me and I don't have a single bad memory even with my gram being completely unknowing for 3 years. now that is a special gift I know she made sure I had before she left us

Anyway, i'm completely wasted on 1 drink ... completely, i'm silly at this point. But I am going to send ya'll pics of my tattoo and i'll get pics of me in my dress that i have never fit in on friday when I go to the wake. new hair and all >LOL

i'm going to bed, before I fall over since i've had maybe 6 hrs sleep in 3 nights and just had a drink and 1/2. I love ya'll and consider you all part of my family and can't wait until May!

night i'll check in tomorrow

Suzie-I am speaking from experience so I hope you do not take this the wrong way cause it is said with much love & concern...

I know that it is very hard to believe, but, not eating is not the answer. It will work for a few days then you will stop losing weight and then when you do start eating again you might gain. Your body needs fuel to burn calories. We just have to make sure that we are getting the right KIND of fuel/food. So even though you may not feel like eating, eat something little anyway. You need to keep your body fed to be able to optimize your weight loss. <end speech> (or sermon as judy calls it) lol

I give dh the same speech, lol :confused:

Good morning violets! Its hump day! I am going to make an appt to get my hair highlighted. I hate going because it takes so long but it is always SO worth it! I am going to try to make the appt for valentines day because that is my 5 year wedding anniversary. Frank and I are going away for the weekend and casino hop:biggrin:.

Everyone have a great day and I will check back in after work...

DANG!!!!!! Tell me, please!...What's it like???

[TerriDoodle 6]

Good morning, everyone!

I'm kind of a wreck today and just need to vent. I went to the hospital to see mom last night and she's not doing well at all! She has one more test this morning and i'm hoping they'll discharge her very soon after that. I just want to get her home and nurse her back to health! Hospitals suck so bad...it's no place to be if your sick, that is FOR SURE. She's so much worse than when she went in...her anemia might be 'cured' but she's just toasted from all the stress, lack of food and sleep. Just pray for her, if you will... she might not bounce back from this ordeal!

Laura - I hope you had a great birthday and so sorry DH was sick! Man, there's been a lot of crap going around, hasn't there? So what's your favorite dish at Red Lobster? I'm always curious why people like that restaurant so much...it IS very, very popular. I've been once or twice and not found it to be great...but maybe it's because we have so many fine seafood restaurants here on the coast that I"m just spoiled! Mahi-Mahi is my favorite! And I used to love fried shrimp! Can't eat shrimp at all anymore :confused:

Denise - How is everything with your daughter that was having such issues with her bf? I think about her often.

Jenn - Maybe your grandmother is now up there pulling some strings for you to snag that job. Ask for her help!! You know how angels are...you gotta ask!

Love you guys... ttyl!

Good Morning Violets~

Checking in from Disneyland!!

Susie, I saw the parking garage! Can't believe that story...wow. Tell him the parking garage is still standing!

Well, yesterday...I blew out my knee at work. I almost said a very bad word in front of the kids as I was laying on the desks. I told the kids to go get me ice...I mean this was really bad. Then driving here, it stiffened (sp) up and I could barely get out of the car (PS is about 2 hours away w/ traffic). Went to dinner, then to the keynote last night...I WAS DYING!

Susanne is here and I got into bed and slept really good...and so far it is better. I have an apt w/ doc on Friday late afternoon. I am almost depressed thinking about not being able to do Jazzercise. I finally found something I love, but honestly...my knees have hurt bad for a few weeks. I've NEVER had trouble...and am pissed that they hurt. I am hoping a few shots and I can work out. I promise not to do anymore squats.

Well...long day of food, sitting...more food, and then alcohol! I am trying to make "good choices". Last night had the salmon (OMG...melted in my mouth), the broccli, 1/2 piece of bread, but skipped the pots. Also everyone went out for dessert...skipped that. I had sooo many compliments lately, especially w/ my new pants that actually fit, don't want to go too far off track.

Have a great day everyone. I'll try to pop in tomorrow am.

Jenn~ Did you get a new tat?

[TracyinKS 7]

Denise: remember I was stuck at 209 for about 2 months!!! I don't know what happened... it just finally gave in and went down...... I'm doing the same thing now between 195-200....... today was 197.

Terry: I hope your moms test goes well.

Suzie: be careful if you venture out in this stuff!!!!!!!!!!! I know I'm further North, but the entire metro got hit. AGAIN

Judy: I WISH I HAD YOUR HOT TUB!!!!!!

Haydee: Love the new avatar!
