Good Morning Snow Angels,

Today is the last day of September!!! Goooood bye September and Hello October. Just was thinking. Have you thought about your goal for December and do you still think it is doable? Do you think it is time to state a more reasonable goal? I am doing some thinking about mine and I will definitely see how this month goes and may decide to restate my goal. Anyway something to think about!!!!:D

Today I finally see my doc and find out about my back and knee/leg. I am hoping I can help the situation by exercises!!! I hope i hope. I shall see and let you all know. God knows you have heard me complain enough about it!!

I did realize something this weekend. I share things with all of you that I never share with my family!! Hmmmmm something else to think about!!

Well let's see what will my goals be for today:
1. Stay on program
2. Drink water 64 oz.
3. Remember how peaceful I feel now!!
4. Always remember the music and silver wires.

Okay time to rock and roll. If we are going to get very serious about our December goals then let today be the first very serious day!! I once again don't want December to sneak up on me and me thinking I can lose 25 lbs in 2 weeks.
:coach: So Lizzie get your buns up and at em!! Time to show your stuff!!

My determination is all polished up and so is my motivation. I love music so late last night I pulled out Jose Feliciano and listened to him for a while. Felt so peaceful listening to him sing and play guitar. What a talent!!!!!!!! He said he would come and play anytime I wanted him to. What a guy. Play music that is!! Almost told my music secrets. Toby was in today for a session!! Asked me if I knew a chick named Bren. I told him last I heard she was messing with Dwight!! Poor man broke down and cried. Thank God I am the comforting kind!!!!!! Hahahaha He left his underwear I mean guitar at my house.:o :o What a guy!!!!!!!

Now I am off to watch some TV and get ready to sleep. Course those naps I took all day may delay sleep until Thursday!!

I am so hoping I can start exercising again !! I felt so good exercising!! Well Snow Angels can't worry about that morning!!
Let's show the world what we are made of.!!!!!!!

I am going to work very hard all week and knock off 3 lbs! That is my challenge to myself starting today!! I will do this!! we will do this !! One step at a time. One pound at a time.!!!!!

Let's Rock and Roll
Lizzie

OMG! Lizzie!!!
I was ROFL'n,clappin' my hands, and getting rather LOUD.........at 5:05 ....and all at YOU! OMG! What a gal!You are hilarious! Come here, ok?
Toby wears underwear? You're cheating already, after makin' a date with Jose'? Thanks for consoling him (Toby) and for not lettin' him know I have Trace in my walk-in closet! He'd really be hurt! Hey he pals around with my ex anyway.....goodness only knows what Terry has told him!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!
Music can heal, comfort, soothe....get ya.....uhhh in trouble! Dependin' on the mood and "flavor"! I thank God every day for the gift of hearing..........I have one side at about 90% and one at 15% ..........but by golly it's enough!
BTW.....hope you are feeling much better VERY soon and I'll be thinking of/praying for you today, as you go for your results.....keep us posted okey dokey?

Stacey! Thanks doll! For the congrats!! Woohoo! Guess what?? I'm down one more! YES! 198 this morning! I feel WONDERFUL! Better than I have in TOO long and am GONNA make my December goal........and Lizzie? we CAN'T lose 25 pounds in 2 weeks.....well crap..........you burst MY bubble AND steal one of my Boyz....... gosh darn.....what will I do with you?

I'm a LOSER.....I'm a LOSER!!! Woohoo! First time I've EVER been excited to be called one!! And Stacey.......you guys are doing great.......look how far you've come!
We're not where we wanna be (weight wise) but we're not where we were and that's worth celebrating..........imagine all the non-food ways to DO that!

Ok kids.....I'm off to the track. Another thing I truly look forward to, now that it finally clicked!!
I'll be back!
Love and boo-coos of huggies to you......
Bren

Woohooooooooooooo Yeppers down to 198!!! That is just to cool!!!! I know you are a happy camper!! I am really proud of you Bren!!!!

Love and Big hugs,
Lizzie

Hey girls, you're so hilarious! Thanks for making my day :laugh: Congrats to our losers!!! We'll do this! :cheer:

I think my goal is pretty reasonable, I weighed in 234 this morning so it's 14lbs till end of the year, I can do it, right? Unfortunately I'm not feeling that great today, there's obviously something wrong with my body (really sore breasts, nausea and stomach cramps), I think I'll do another pregnancy test this Friday and if it's still negative I'll go to the doctor's to find out what's wrong. I'm just tired of trying ot figure out myself what's happening.
But I'm not going to let that ruin my motivation..I'll go for a walk today if it stops raining or do Jane Fonda instead and I'll eat within my points.
Have a good Monday all, I'm so glad this month is over!!!!

Hi guys sorry for not coming out and cherring for you all on the weekend but just had a very busy weekend. Was Area Recognition Day for Tops yesterday was a full fun day. I lost a grand total of 7 lbs. for the month of Sept. sure hope Oct. can prove as good. But then that's up to me right. Keep up the great work. My goal for Dec. is down down from anything i was last Christmas. Down from where i am today.

see you all lighter
Linda

Yipeeeeeeeeeeee Linda !!! I like the way you think!!! & lbs for September is really wonderful!! Good for you!!!!!!!!!!

Mari,
Can't have you not feeling well!! Darn Sounds sort of like pregnancy except for the cramps. If it preggars then wonderful if not good idea to see doc. Either way have to have you feeling better!!!

Well time for me to get on the ball---- just as soon as I take a nap!!!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Good Morning Snow Angels,

I can't believe Lizzie stole Toby away from me after I stole him away from Brenda!! Where's the loyalty?? The trollop! :laugh: Well, I keep John Michael under my desk and NOBODY will ever get him away from me!! He's so adorable! But I really pant after Toby.

Brenda, I declare you the LOSER OF THE MONTH!! 198!! That's way too coooooollll!!! You go, Girl!!

Linda, great job on the 7 pounds. Maybe YOU should be the loser of the month? Oh heck...you're BOTH losers!!

Mari, please go and see your doctor! Find out what's going on with your poor system. Doesn't sound normal to me.

I have 11 pounds to reach my goal. I can do that! It's going a lot slower now than I'd like, but the good news is that we finally got the weight bench back from my stepson! He was storing it for us until we moved. It's an entire system, so I'm going to start building muscles to boost my metabolism. And I asked my hubby to pull my bike out into the den today so that I can ride it tonight. I WILL RIDE MY BIKE!!!

Goals for today:

1) Stay on points
2) Ride bike
3) Don't snack at night!!

My water is good, so I don't need to list that.

Have a great day, Ladies!

George Michael you bum!!! See I knew you weren't touring Europe!! I should have known when I saw that big smile on Stacey's face!!!!!!! Hmmmm and after I polished your dimples!!!!!!

What is this world coming too???

Lizzie

Lizzie..that was JOHN Michael, as in John Michael Montgomery. Not the most popular any more, but I will ALWAYS buy him, err his CD's that is!!

No wonder John Michael left I kept calling GEORGE OMG!!!! I polished the right dimples anyway!! Hahahaha Just goes to show you. You call people the wrong name and they take off!!! Guess I will have to cry on Vince's shoulder!! What a day!!!!

I have most of JM Montgomery's CD's I think he has a dreamy voice!! yeppers!!!!!!!!!!!

:wave: Hello everyone,

Do you folk still remember little ole me? I haven't been for some time now, but I keep advertising for ya all just the same.......lol.

:coach: CONGRATULATIONS BREN AND MARI!! LOSERS OF THE MONTH!

I am so happy that everyone is doing so well. I want to let you know that I have lost 1 lb this week, which gives me a total of 29 lbs gone for good. I was really hoping to pass that 30 lb mark this week, but considering that I was a bit of a rascal over the past week, that didn't happen. But I'm going to make sure it does happen by next week, one way or another.

I honestly believe that the only way I managed to lose that pound was because I made my White Chicken Chile and I've had that for at least one meal a day for the past 4 days.....hahahhaa. Beans, beans, ya know? Lots of good fiber, but those jalepenos sure play havoc with your innards.............ouch!!

I have no goals for today because I have already done them, but for the water, and I'm doing great so far.

Lizzie, I can't wait to hear about your leg and what that doctor has to say about it. I sure hope that whatever the problem, it can be repaired quickly and soon. I know how you feel about not being able to exercise. I know I would be in deep doo doo if I couldn't exercise at all. It really does slow down your weight loss, no matter how good you are following your points.

Take care everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful week and that whenever your weigh-in day arrives, that everyone enjoys a loss.

Enjoy!~Enjoy!
Sandie

Hey everyone :) I'd like to join the Snow Angels challenge, if ya'll don't mind! What do I need to do to join?

Bren:D

Hi Melinda,
Welcome to the Snow Angels!!!! You have done all you need to do and that is stop by !! All ir required is to set a goal for yourself to how many lbs you want to lose by December 31. You don't have to share that number unless yoou want to. What we do is keep out long term goal in our head and work one day at a time to get there.

So Welome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just hop in and tell us how you are and enjoy your stay!! Oh yal we like to have fun too. But if you have something serious you want to talk about we do that too!!

Snow Angel Melinda!!! Has a certain ring to it don't you think!!

Have a wonderful day!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie:lily: :lily: :lily:

Hello there Melinda,

And welcome to the Snow Angels Trek to December.

What we do in here is we have all set a weight goal that we are planning to reach by the end of the month of December. Each day, or as often as you can, you come in and state what your mini goals are for the day that will eventually lead you to reaching your goal for December 31st.

Right now I am at 223, and my goal is 200# by the end of Dec.
To reach that goal, tomorrow I will

#1 Drink 64 oz. of water
#2 Stay on program and within my point range
#3 Walk for 30 minutes.

Some of us are following Weight Watcher's, but not everyone is. We each choose our own method of losing weight. This is just a way to keep motivated and to give and receive support from each other.

I hope you like the sound of that. It's never to late to join in. You have 3 months, so you can lose a good amount in that time. Just try to keep it within a possible range. And then one step at a time, one day at a time, by the end of the year, you will be there.

Have a good week. I'm glad you have joined our jolly group, and I hope you choose to stay and join in.

Enjoy!~Enjoy!
Sandie :D

Good morning girls!!
Lizzie, Stacey, Sandie,Linda, Katie, AJ, Melinda, Mari, Janet........someone I missed?........add name to the list!

Brenda:D

Good Morning Snow Angels!!

Another fun-filled night for me...daughter went AWOL again. She isn't learning!!

I was so tired last night that I was in bed by 9:15 pm! Never even posted in my own journal. Didn't ride bike, even though hubby put it right in front of the tv. I didn't WATCH the tv! I was in BED! Ok, tonight I will.

Brenda: I will not now, or ever, under ANY circumstances let JMM out of my sight!! He's MINE! MINE, I tell ya!! You hear that, Lizzie?? MINE! Broke my heart when he got married. I kept hoping he would come and sweep me off my feet. :( Didn't happen. Now he's got those cute babies! He's hooked. But, if his wife gets out of line...I'll be RIGHT THERE!!

Goals for today:

1) No late night snacking (had Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt and Wow Doritos at 1 am!!)
2) Drink all water
3) NO candy
4) Stay on low end of points
5) Ride bike

Have a great Tuesday, Ladies! And welcome to our new Angel!!

Happy Tuesday to all you girls and congratulations to those who reached there goals. welcome Melissa glad to have you aboard. I think no not think i know i'm back on track today darn it's easy to get up and take the wrong road. I have to stay on this railroad track that says=========success=======desire=====dedication and all that stuff.
Anyone that says losing weight is easy has never had to do it.

see you all lighter
Linda
My goal for today is to be good.

Goooooood Morning Snow Angels,
Hope you all are ready for today!! Time to really focus on today and stay on program. I say that cause I slipped a little yesterday so now I am really going to really focus on today!!!

My goals are:
1. Stay on program
2. Drink 64 oz water
3. Maintain positive Attitude

Talked with my sis last night and she was doing pretty good and sounded so good. She sounded like her old self before the Protein C Deficiency. These are the times it is so hard to think she is dying!!

Well she is taking my mother out of the nursing home tomorrow because she thinks that mother is starting to just give up and is getting depressed. Of course the nursing home staff doesn't take care of mother like we always did. I told Teresa tonight that if she gets bad again I am going to try to be there. Plus I am working on coming out to see her anyway and I hope she is not too sick when I do come. Be a while before I go. Have to get this knee under control first.

Teresa and I always had so much fun together growing up and especially as adults!! I told her I would take mother to live here if she got to be too much for Teresa but she says no!! I know that both of them depend on each other. Teresa is good for mother and Teresa needs mom with her. Hard to explain!! It is working out!!

So I hope everyone is on program to day and I am really going to be on the ball and most likely stay down a lot today!!

Okay Angels let's get out there and kick some butt!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hi all, just a 'quickie' since I'm feeling too sick to stare at the monitor. I did manage to lose 2,5lbs this week but I'm just mad at my body..I don't know what's happening anymore! For a week I've felt like I'm pregnant (I feel sick, stomach cramps, sore breasts, terrible mood swings...) and my period is 3 weeks 1day late.. However I tested yesterday and it was negative. There's obviously something wrong with my body! My midwife sent me to get a pregnancy test from blood this morning and I just came back from the lab. They said that if that comes back negative as well we need to start figuring out what's wrong with me. I'm glad I'm finally getting some help with it.

Today I will have so many points that I can't even bother counting, I feel I just need a day off. We're making pizza with my mom and sister and I won't go sparingly on cheese lol. But I'll promise to be back on track tomorrow and lose at least 2lbs next week ;)

Have a nice day all!

Hi angels and Happy Saturday......well it's MY Saturday....haha! To those of you with a normal schedule.....Mon-Fri........nanner nanner poo poo! With tongue stickin' out! MMMMMM nanner!

Stingy, I mean Stacey....I am totally taken aback at your unwillingness to share JMM..........especially with poor little Lizzie, who is neeeed of comfort and stuff! I'd let Dwight go in a heartbeat.....for 20 minutes and the chain attached to his belt! Never mind....Lizzie has a way with the pants thing so I may drag back a pair of empty levi's!
I felt the same way when Vince married that hussy, Amy Grant. He dropped about 6 pegs on my list of doody's ......
I mean dude-ees!LOL!
Honey girl......I am so sorry about the young'un troubles. My heart goes out to you. Keep yourself a high priority on your list....no matter what.

Linda.......BE GOOD! You can do that!

Lizzie........it's good that Teresa and your mom have each other and are together for mutual support. You have more than your share of heartache too........not only personal stuff but family as well. You have such a wonderful attitude and outlook in spite of it all. You are such a wonderful lady and I'm so glad to be part of this group.....with you in it! You're an inspiration to me....daily!

Mari.....hope you find out quickly what is going on. It's really discouraging to be so sick and not know why. It's bad enough when you DO know why! I think we can all attest to that!
PIZZA day! Oh yummers.....will you be my proxy eater...or somebody? Have a BIG hunk, loaded! I'll dance for you on Saturday night if you will! Oh, hell......I'll dance for ya anyway!

To the rest of the crew......ladies....have a wonderful day!! You're in my thoughts and prayers....daily.....I am so thankful for each of you!
I am OFF...... to:
color my hair
clean my house(all 3 rooms!)
tackle my closet
search for binoculars/camera for campin' trip
have some breakfast
do my walk....at FLC and play in hot tub
watch Dr. Phil....I LOVE that man!!
IRON......eeek....I can see my list will spill over into tomorrow also!

I'll catch you girls later!
Bren:tomato:

Morning Snow Angels,

My goodness Stacey I hope you are not allowing your daughter to ruin your day!! Darn that has to be tough to deal with. You stay strong and let the group home staff deal with her. Sounds like she still has lot to learn. She reminds me of my niece that lived with me for two long hard years. You name it she did it. Even rode her bike in front of a fast moving car of course she got hit!! Finally said enough and took her to her dad and left her with him. Took her a lot of years but now at 32 she is finishing her Bachelor Degree in Social Science. Your daughter may come around one of these days!! My heart goes out to you sweetie!!

Sandie,
Wow you are a losing goofus!!!! You will no doubt beat me to the December goal. Hey wait a minute did I just give up?? I DON"T THINK SO!! I will meet you in December at our big bash and I will have lost my 800 lbs!! I mean 25

Mary,
Gosh girl I hope you finds out what is going on with you! Must be awful to be going through all this. Hey don't worry we all take a day off now and then. Enjoy the pizza. Hope you feel better fast!!

Linda,
Agree whole heartedly that anyone who opines that losing weight is easy has never been down in the weight loss trenches before!! I am in there arguing with myself and fighting for every pound!! But if we stay on track it does get better. We will do this because we can!!

Hey Bren,
Okay I must confess I took Vince aside and told him if he had his heart set on marrying Amy that I would give him my permission. But he spends 7 months of the year with me and 5 with her!!!!
Isn't that right VInce?? He said "Yes". !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was checking out your goals Bren and how could you not find your binoculars?? How do you watch the neighbors at night I mean watch the stars if you don't have your eyes??? Sounds like you have a lot of work for one day!! Take me all month to do all that!!!!

Well ladies I am off to get started on my rest time!! Going togo lay down and watch TV and drink coffee. Then DH will come onto the living room and find me half asleep wiht coffee cup in may hand and two dogs on me feet!! Pretty picture you Think!!!!

Okay let's have a good day!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie:rose: :rose: :rose: :tomato:

Hiya Lizzie!
I want two fat cats on MY feet! Waaah I miss cats!

You R2 funny! Spy watchin' .....I mean sky watchin'! As often before my to-do list quickly became the "whoop-de-not do". I overloaded my butt again......here's what really happened.
I played on the computer.....like 3 hours, BUT....I had made the bed, loaded the dishwasher and had breakfast. Company came....I had to put Dwight somewhere....he's STILL there, behind the shower curtain........singing his heart out...... company stayed an hour or so.....I UNMADE the bed......nappy time ya know, watched TV, had lunch, made jello, and.............that's it! Day is done and so am I....and ya know what.....I enjoyed every minute of it, as I chose it......I allow myself one day a week of total (if I need it) ME time, rest, read, nap.....as much as I want etc. and today was it.
I pared down my list for tomorrow too!To 5.....only 5 things that are the most important for NOW......
1)Walk 3 miles AM
2) Spot clean 1 hr.
3) Closets: 1 hr. If I can't find stuff in an hour....it's not THERE!
4) Make chicken soup........still need some?
5) ME time......rest of the day!
That will be enough!
Gonna run and have some din-din.....I'm gettin' hungry!
Have a good evening all!
Catch ya tomorrow!
Bren:D

this is very short i'm off for at least an hour rest before going back to work i'm doing graveyard shifts and there tough. Anyway don't know how good or bad this will be on the diet it sure takes some adjusting to.

see you lighter
Linda

Hey Gang...you're my lifesavers..Lol! Hmm after a nice bluecheese pizza, pringles, and two ciders (that got me drunk!) I'm ready to carry on with my diet again...that amount of food will keep me going for a week... heh heh.

So now I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired of this self-pitying and going for a loooong walk. Bren, you just inspired me (and owe me a dance lmao!) I'm going to color my hair! Yikes! I'm naturally blonde and if I dare I want to do something shocking! Well, I certainly feel like it! (If I do, I'll post of photo lol)

What comes to my results, the blood test came back negative so I'm definitely not pregnant, but I obviously have some kind of hormonal imbalance.. Now I need to wait one more week to see if period shows, if so..I've just skipped one, if not I'll get some treatment that will most likely turn me psycho!

Oh and who is JMM? I'm lost :)

My goals for today
* walk!
* color hair (do I or don't I dare...lol...)
* taebo
* eat less points since my splurge last night
* drink my water!

Have a nice day gals!!!

Mari,
Sounds like you need some TLC!! My heart goes out to you sweetie I know this is an awful time for you. Sending you a big hug and lots of love and a prayer.

Oh jmm is John Michael Montgomery a country and western singer song writer, A real knock out with big dimples and beautiful voice.
*******************************************
Linda.
Wow I do remember those over night shifts. Wow it has been a while but I remember how tough some of those nights were. Hang in there sweetei!!
***********************************************
Bren, Good for you sweetie taking some me time today!! Have to stay sane!!! Glad ou got some R&R today!!
*********************************************
Well I am back to bed and drink some coffee. Very tired and need to sleep finallY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you guys,
Lizzzie

hey, where's everyone?!!! I'm soooo mad this morning X-( the scales show I've lost weight, friends say you can tell..however I took a photo when I started and took a photo this morning and there's no difference!!! All this effort I've put in and I can't even see the results... GRRRRR.. I know I have to keep going but it's so hard!
Anyways, hubby is waiting gotta go groceryshopping...and I have to stay firm not to buy ice-cream! I'll be back later...Just needed to vent! Oh, and I did color my hair and eyebrows dark! Freaky, but yeah it looks alright...:)

Have a better morning all!

Hiya Mari and crew.....
I can't see so any typo's....well that's why. I have coloring on my head and can't put my glasses on! Well.......DUH IS part of my name!
NEXT year......I will:
Get an eye exam......vision had decreased drastically in 3 years.....reckon it's time. I will get my toe done. I shoved cotton down in it and soaked it with outgrow for pain relief......OMG it HURT! WAAAAAH!:c(
I will......hmmm.....what else? OH yeah......MAYBE go see a dentist!

That's NEXT year, mind ya!

Lizzie......Vince.....did ya see him and Amy on Nightline last night. They both look kinda pitiful.....Vince could use some of your attention! LOL! Do you get him 5 months in a row or do a split?
He is not NEARLY the hunky dude he was 10 years ago! LOL!
Hey.....I SO enjoyed my R&R day! I was ready for it too!
I can lounge like nobody's business!

My chicken soup is WONDERFUL! Yummers! I haven't made it in about 7 months...........I've been a tad congested....just allergy junk, but thought I'd make it anyway for good measure. I even used low sodi-YUM V-8 in it. I didn't remember buying the low sodium! LOL! Been in there that long I guess! I buy stuff I'm thinkin' I want, then sits in there unopened for months! LOL!

Mari.....I've only gone dark once! My aunt dyed my hair black when I was 16! NOT me! Then we had to bleach it back out! I came home from Summer vacation with red hair! I still have my school picture from then! I'd spent the summer with them in Rockford, IL. They still live there.....still run all over, now that he's retired.

Howdy doody to everyone.....gonna go hop in the shower, get this stuff off my head and clean up my kitchen. I made a mess but the soup is worth it! LOL!
Have a great day.....It's my MONDAY.....but thank God it's NOT in the real world!

C-ya soon!
Mz. B:D

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Happy Friday to you all!! Wow I have been feeling great and Sooooooooooo hungry. I fooled my tummy last night I filled it with fresh cauliflower and broccoli then chased it with a Lean Cuisine. Finally got it through my head that just because I feel good doesn't mean I can start eating hunk!! Yes you guessed it I had to fight with Lizzie all day yesterday to stay on track but I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goals for today:
1. Stay on lower end of points
2. Drink 64 oz water!!!!!!!!!
3. Seek some form of exercise
4. Be good to me.
5. Reflect on Dr. Phil's statement " We teach people how to treat us."
6. Own my own behavior!!!


Have you been watching Dr. Phil. I am so amazed at most of what he says because he is so much like the counselor that Dh and I saw for about 3 years. Right now I am getting a refresher course about my own begavior. Too bad DH isn't home to see it!!
Well can not wory about that!!

Mari,
I know what it is like to lose weight and no one notice. I lost 45 lbs and my son has yet to even acknowledge it!! My grandson noticed but thought I was getting shorter. Now mind you this is 10 months in to losing!! Hubby said something like. "Wow Steve I can sure tell you have lost weight. You look wonderful. What did you lose about 30 lbs? Your mom might have lost to!" Wow the compliments about bowl you over. Hahahaha I have to remind myself that I am pleased with me and I think I look wonderful!! I am losing weight and getting fitter for me!!!!!!!!

Anytime you need to vent you just let it go !! We are here for you venting and all!! Yep I know it is hard but you can do this!! I know you have that inner strength to carry you through!!

Bren,
I can't believe Vince was on TV and he didn't tell me. If he looked bad it is because he is with Grant this last couple of months. When he is wiht me he gtes his weight under control and has a good haircut!!!!! I get him for 7 months and she gets him 5!!! Yeppers he needs some major dieting and working out and staying off the golf course!! He sure makes his guitar talk!!!!!!!!!!

May need that recipe for your chicken soup. This virus or allergies is still just barely hanging on!! I think by now it is allergies!!


To all the MIA's:
I know life can get pretty hectic so as long as you are taken care of you and enjoying life you are forgiven for not posting!! Just drop in once and a while and let us know you are still kicking!!

Time to start the day!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to go jump back in bed and watch the news!! That way I can rest my knee and take a nap!!

Yikes I weigh in tomorrow!!!!!!!! Well can't worry about what the scales say I am too busy living and eating healthy!!

I am off!!!!!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

I am back and ready to go! I'm over my blues session and back on the eating path. I was so sick over eating those cherry sours that I didn't want to eat yesterday! Of course I did, but I ate everything GOOD for me! And finished under my points. Today I am back on path too.

:coach: I WILL NOT SABOTAGE MYSELF!! I WILL SEE THE 240'S!!

I have a busy weekend with all of my boys this weekend, so that will keep my busy! Hubby made ziti for tonight, and I'm making my tacos for tomorrow, and then we'll all watch a movie tomorrow night. Should be fun! Hopefully, I'll be able to talk some sense into my oldest. He's just wasting his life. No job (again), living from one friend's house to another, no ambition. He seems to think that somebody "owes" him something, and he's not going to work for it! Wake up, kid!! He's coming over to work off the $10 he borrowed from me last week. He'd better not have the nerve to ask me for any more! My hubby won't let him, I'm sure.

Well, just checking in. Weigh in was up, so nothing to report there. I will get back to my 251!!

BTW, Lizzie, you forgot about JMM's GORGEOUS blue eyes!! Dreamy!!! And sorry to disappoint, but I just can't share him. You can have Toby, you can have anyone else you want, including my hubby (!!), but not JMM!!

:laugh:

(Of course I'm kidding about my hubby)

Afternoon Angels,
Just finished my huge breakfast of fresh veggies!! Those eggs and sausage my hubby had sure smelled good. I was the one who cooked them!! Now how fair is that I ask you ??? No that is not nice I could have told him to cook them himself so no fair complaining about it!!

Hey Stacey I NEVER forgot those sexy blue eyes I was hoping you would!! Hahaha Shucks !!!

I am making myself accountable today by stopping in on different threads and reporting my progress to me!! Soooooooooooo!! I am staying on track!! yahoooooooo!!!!!!!

Don't forget WW chat tonight at 9:00 pm est........

I better get this eating under control because I have to weigh in in the morning!! That is what I get for losing 7 lbs last week probably stay the same!! Darn I want this weight to leave now!!!!!!!!!! That is enough!! I am off to try and ride my bike!!!!!!!!

Have a good one!!!!!
Love and huhgs
Lizzie

Howdy..... Lizzie, Sneaky, I mean Stingy, uhhhhh, Stacey, Mari, Sandie....where ever she's hiding....Linda and the rest of our gang of rowdy angels.

Yeah, Vince is in dire need Lizzie....can you whup him back into shape....Ol' Amy has worn the boy plumb down and ya can tell he ain't being taken good care of! Oh YOU get him for 7! Wow....ok....I was gonna say you were really generous....letting him play at Amy's for 7 to your 5!

I envy you your yummy veggies.........but my soup is full of 'em so I shouldn't, huh? It's just that I want what you have.........well not EVERYTHING, of course! LOL! My soup was SO good....I was hungry at 11:00, & having lunch when the boss came in. He said.....Oh.....we're having lunch already? I said yep.....WE were hungry!

Got my hair lightened up this morning....I like it....pale blonde. My natural color is the ash blonde......I wonder if I'd like it if I ever let it grow out? I may try that like when I have nothing ELSE to do!

I'm gonna run.....get a nap with the Boyz.........shhh, I invited JMM over but he said Stacey had him chained and muzzled! I thought he said "tamed and nuzzled".......oh well......hearing's a bit fuzzy today! I'd be nuzzlin' that too.....I'm SO GREEDY! But I'm fairly honest!

I'll catch you gals later on.....nighty night! for now! I'll dance for ya tonight. Who wants a waltz?

BrenDUH!:D

Well darnitol........didn't dance at all in the 1.5 hrs' I was there so I am NOT going back....until tonight!
So no-one had a good time.........I made sure of it!

Oh Lizzie.......I want sausage and eggs! Yummy! I want hashbrowns and gravy and bis-kits too! W/butter and strawberry jam.....ok....SF jam I guess, naw....give me the real stuff. If I'm dreaming I want it ALL! That's the only time I can EAT it without paying a hefty price! LOL!:tomato: Then after breakfast.....a two hour nap!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.....I'm getting ready for work in a few minutes. I played hooky from the track this morning. Somebody kick me!
Gonna go play outside for a few minutes.
I'll c-ya later crew!

Bren:D

:computer: What a beautiful day!!!!!!!!!! The sun is shining and temp is 57 degrees!!!!!!!!! Just the right temp for me and wonderful walking weather. I just hope it holds up until I can go walking!!!

Well shoot my leg feels like I stomped on it all night long but not going to spoil my day!! I have things to do and places to go. Well it sounds good doesn't it??????

You show em Bren if you can't dance neither can they!! That will fix their little wagon. Say i know that sausage smelled so good I was ready to fight a duel to get some but alas no such luck!! Cliff also had wonderful blackberry jam ( with no seeds) with his toast!!!Talk about breaking my heart. The cauliflower and broccoli just didn't have the same zip!!!!!!! Well I look at it this way. I WANT SAUSAGE AND EGGS!!!!!! I mean I love my veggies and they are so much healthier for me than sausage ever was!!

Well alrighty then time for me to have another huge mug of coffee and take the mess of pills so I can jump start my day!! OMG my son went to Indianapolis to by a muscle car. I can not believe he is paying as much for that old car as we paid for our new Jeep Cherokee!!!!!!!! Holy Cornflakes Batman!! I am off to the bat cave!! Hmmm how did Batman get in here!! Wow the old days just jump in your face if you aren't on guard all the time. Hope I don't go out and play kick the can later !!

That is it I NEED coffee!!!!!!!!!

Later!!!!!!!!!
Love and mucho hugs,
Lizzie













:D :D

Lizzie......Batman! Sneakin' in like that when you're not watchin'! Kids! Boys and their TOYS! Kickin' the can!

Now That I still do...but with a rock....at work! Let's watch Leave it To Beaver and go fly a kite! I LOVE flying a kite! I haven't in several years. I used to get 'em, my friend and I would take her grandkids to the park to fly 'em.....they never knew we were doing that for US so WE could fly one and not look silly! LOL! But now they are too old to wanna play with us anymore, darn it!

My ex-stepdaughter/best bud e-mailed me yesterday.......says I'm gonna be a granny!! She and John have been married 5 years, had a house built a year and a half ago, he has his own business....great kids. Very active in their church. She said I could choose what her kids would call me.....as she intends for them to know me and for me to be "family".........since I'm not blood kin.....I'm thinkin' Beemaw.....kinda like meemaw! We will have even MORE to talk about at the Lake!

I wanna drop 25 in two weeks! Was it you Lizzie who said we can't? Well, then......I want sausage! LOL!
I have my stuff to cook in there.....am thinkin' about cookin' it. I didn't even wanna get up so am not real enthused right now! I need coffee too, and perhaps a few minutes outside in the beautiful morning! Woohoo....57 at your place! Wonderful! We still get up to about 87 but Fall is here and it will feel like it shortly.

I got to dance last night by golly! They saw me coming and someone said PLEASE dance with HER or we will ALL have a crappy night!
ONE idiot, 3 real guys! The idiot.....a drunk (insert dirty werd) asked me to dance....I didn't know he was drunk....it was a waltz....he couldn't....then the bastard.....oops!....says "do you screw all night?" So I killed him.
The REAL story? I didn't HEAR him right so asked him to repeat himself twice.......so the THIRD time I thought well that IS what he said! Then I politely said no...........I coulda said "I do but not YOU"........but didn't wanna lie and stuff! Then the freak.....I love that word! asked me to dance again....I said NO.....less politely, I'm talkin' to my MOM here........ he asked if he scared me .....I said yes you do.......he says (are ya tired of this yet?) WHY....how come......no response from me....in my head I'm thinkin' "cuz you're a f'in drunk freak who can't dance your way out of a sack" so he says.....well, guess I'll go away then ....I said .....good idea and thank you! Now aren't I NICE!??

I asked Idella.....where did HE come from! She needs to be on guard better than that!

Gonna run.....get spiffied up a bit, have some coffee and go play outside 'till I wake up enough to cook!

Have a good day everyone! Hope all have had a great weekend and didn't get into much trouble. Me......that's my middle name....some days I suck! I killed off a big wad of candy at work and I hadn't had candy in like 12 days.....oh well.....stuff happens, don't it?

Brenduh:D
