Shrinking Violets - Part 5!

the birthday boy!!

I know I'm behind... I needed to see it too Michelle!! I am PMSing and I could eat all the Hershey that Hershey made... but I keep telling myself, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!! I am FINALLY able to squeeze my big belly into smaller pants again.. not original pre-preg by far, but smaller than what I've been having to wear. I can't go backward!! I WON'T!!

Thank you for sharing those Judy that is soooooo sweet!! And do I see ROBIN eggs on the table behind him? Oh no, it's almost that time..

Carson took his first steps yesterday.. first 2 were good and we were so excited, by time we got the camera for his 3rd attempt, it was a far more clumsy try. I will post the vid in a few (just uploaded to Facebook, now to youtube so I can post it here).

He has also become a biter overnight! That welt he left me was the start... then last night Russ put him to bed and he bit his chin. Russ took it very personal and got upset, and I told him we just have to teach him NOT to bite!! I have been googling, they say say NO BITE and put them down. Reminds me of when you train puppies not to bite.

Of course he learns this a week from when he's to start daycare. People at work keep telling me daycares will kick your kid out if they're biting folks. AHH!!

This link probably won't work immediately, so if you're reading this right after I posted...

Laura I saw those eggs too!! Are we channeling food or what?

Love seeing the pics and video of Grady and Carson. Can't believe how fast they grow up!!

Off for the night, have a good one!!!

Good morning, Violets..

You're right about the Cadbury mini-eggs. They happen to be my all time favorite candy and I didn't even say a word to Kris about them. I avoided them all evening. I sure am glad I don't have any kids to make Easter baskets for anymore!!

Carson is on his way, Laura!! Grady started walking the first part of February and he hasn't stopped. It just seems so strange to see him walk into a room when he was crawling in just a few months ago.

I'm going to try and post some flip videos on Facebook. The last time I tried it wouldn't take it. Not sure why.

I'm finishing up my tuna, nuts and oranges and then heading to church. Nothing on the agenda today except some reading and maybe a nap.

Everyone have a good day! Keep up the good eating!!!

So excited to see Carson walk...you'll be chasing him around very soon!! Before you know it, he'll ask you for the car keys!

OMG, Adam Lambert was OUTSTANDING!!! He is really talented and I can't wait to see how he matures as an artist and performer over the next few years!!! Great show.

Off to do this and that...and gradegradegrade today! Today end one term then another starts Monday!

xooxox

Good morning, actually afternoon.

Not much on agenda today but cleaning. Slept late, that felt good because I have had issues the past few nights. Alright make it a good one!!!!!

Good evening, Violets..

Had a nice day today. Went to church and was sad to see only 60 people in the congregation when 120 used to be the average. Went to Walmart afterwards and got Bob a new coffee maker.. a Keurig with the pods. He loves it. He ordered me some hot chocolate for it, so I love it too!

I took a long nap today and am charged up again for the week. We went out to eat for dinner.< /span>

I'm going to glide during Desperate Housewives tonight.

Food report..

B...tuna, nuts, oranges

L...stuffed chicken breast, squash

D...moo shu pork (without the pancakes)... I have enough left for 4 more meals!!!

S...several cashews

S...blueberries and cream

S...1 hot chocolate

Everyone have a good evening.. sleep well.

I would love a Keurig, but am wayyy to cheap!!! But I love going over to my Aunts and spinning the wheel to see what kind of coffee I want! I guess I entertain pretty easy!!!

I think I need to see a Dr. about my nose. I have something very odd going on in my left sinus? I have a bunch to do tomorrow, and going to the doctor is not on my list!!

Didn't really do much today, just a little cleaning. I am watching Undercover Boss and am taping the Olympics. this undercover boss thing is kind of funny.

Good morning, Violets..

20 degrees here right now, but supposed to get up to 35 so snow is going to start to melt. Ethan arrives at 8 and I have my hospital shift today and Community chorus tonight.

Well, I weighed in this morning and have not lost anything. I am up 1# from the 3#I lost since Ash Wednesday almost 2 weeks ago. This is such a long, slow process for me for some reason. I have had no sweets except my one cup of hot chocolate a day and minimal carbs. I have exercised for 30 minutes every day except 3 out of the last 11 days. So this is the frustration. I'm following the bandster rules... but it's not rewarding me! I'm discouraged, but not giving up or giving in.

Off to have my tuna, nuts and oranges for Breakfast. Everyone have a great day! Will check in later.

Good morning ladies~

Judy, not that I know shit from shinola on this...but try eating 500 extra calories for 2 days...then go "back" to life w/o the 500. I've read so much about shocking the system when you get stuck. Again...what do I know! :biggrin: Just keep up the good work!

OK...I am the principal today again...uuuggg! They work hella hard! Then I have to go pay property taxes, and car registration (882 + 356 aakkkk!) Then home to start a new semester for Walden. I ended one yesterday and have to finish grading then start on the next load!

I took a Zyrtec last night for my allergy shots. I am still drunk from it!!! SUCKS!

OK...off like a prom dress! Have a great day girlies, I'll check in when I can!

I also have to pay the state 501 in taxes too...so the property taxes and car reg. and the state taxes...THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY ALL GOING TO CALIFORNIA! Yikes!

Good morning!!

Judy, they say the last few pounds are hard to come by, so think of that as you lose or stay the same. You really have done great, and even though the scale may not show it, you know it is true and WE know it is true, after all I have a Bracelet to prove that!!!!!!!

Pluto is not a planet anymore? I need to go back to school!!!!

Hey girls...

MARCH 1!!! Can Spring be far behind?? Hope not! So glad to see Feb & all its snow go this year!

I didn't lose in Feb... I think I gained! Will have to crunch the numbers later. Bleh.

So I'm playing mental games w/myself again this month re: weight, work, exercise, etc. If I do well, then I can go to WDW. I think we all just needed time to adjust to the idea of me going w/out them, but w/other family members. A lot will depend on MIL's status... she's back in the hospital w/a leg clot, and may begin radiation therapy today. I am very dissapointed w/DH that he didn't go up over the weekend to see her. Info is still not clear, and changes daily. He should've gone up.

Judy, you're doing great! Those cadbury mini eggs are my all-time FAV! You resisted so much this past week -- amazing! It pisses me off so bad when I resist or am being "good" and then the scale doesn't reward me for it! That's the killer for me. It's downhill from there. So glad that you're a stronger woman than I.

Pam, Just give Cali an "IOU"... isn't that how they pay some of their bills? :biggrin:

Laura, I can't believe he's toddling already!

Janie, I hope you can get that nose/allergy situation fixed! & isn't your band re-check this week? (if I am remembering correctly...?)

Hi Haydee & Heather!

Ok, off to go to the Y. That's one of my "musts" for March: I must work out in some form each day.

Make it a good one!

Michelle, I go to the Dr. Wednesday, he is the new Dr that is helping with my weight. I actually think I am going to have to get an unfill I am sort of excited to see him and hope I have lost a bunch. I know I have lost some.
