Morning Snow Angels,

Welcome to a new week and a new month. I have made a decision!! I am not going to weigh myself until the day before Thanksgiving!!! I am so totally upset with myself and not losing and getting crazy about the scales that I need a break. So on with my program and off the scales. Since I am suppose to weigh in every week for my on line program so I am just going to record the same weight until I weigh again.

I have had a about 3 days of really having bad blood sugar levels. Ithought I knew why but I guess i don't so I have to be very careful and hopefully everything will smooth out. So far so good today!! Only I slept till 1:00 pm today!!

My knee is becoming more painful each day. But I did have a few days that it felt great!! Now that the pain is coming back I am not sure how I tolerated all that pain. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited with the new Snow Babies coming!! That is just so cool!! Tomorrow I am going to vote then stop and buy some baby yarn and make a couple baby blankets. That ought to put Cliff in a state of shock. Hahahaha

Aj hope you have a safe trip and as always we will leave the light on for you!! So have fun.

Mari I am so glad you checked in and let us know you are doing ok!! Like Sharon says we worry about all our Snow Angels when we don't hear from them. You take good care of yourself too and let hubby do all the work.

For some reason I am still very tired today so I will be resting as much as possible and hoping my knee will forget to hurt!! Ya sure.!!

Just want you all to know I am not giving up on my goal for December 31 just taking one day at a time. I keep saying that I am staying on program and I am but I am still not doing something right because I should have lost more by now. I keep finding areas that I slip up in so I think I will go to a meeting and go over my program with a ww person. There is something I am not seeing.

My goals for today:
1. Stay on program
2. Exercise 15 to 20 minutes
3. Drink water and less coffee
4. Remember I have lost 45 lbs and the rest will come off.

Well that is it for the day. I have a list of 25 things to do for today and nothing heard so I will get it done. I am thinking I will write a list for the week and plan on doing at least 25 things a day. One day I had a list that had 25 emails to answer!! Hahahaha How's that for a hard day's work!!

I am off to do something and don't you take any wooden nickles!!

Love and hugs,
Dizzy I mean Lizzie:rose: :rose: :rose:

Good morning all.........

I am sick....waaaah! Nauseated etc. I took a big swig of pepto bismol....hate that stuff but it helps. I should be ok by work time. I don't ever take a sick day!

Then the headlines page on my computer.....on the volcano story said "Red White and Spew"..... made me feel sicker!

Gonna run and plant myself in the bathroom for awhile then maybe back to bed for a few minutes 'till I feel human again!
I'll be back!

Bren

Hey Bren maybe it is sympathy morning sicknes Ha Ha. Hope you feel better. I swear the being nauseous the day after my operation was worse than the days of pain before. Get well soon.

Yes Lizzie I understand. Diabetes is very tricky and your right that has to be figured out first. I don't have diabetes but i know people who do. You know I went through that thing with the scales a few weeks ago. I think it is a great idea to go over your plan with a ww person. That's neat that you can go to WW online and see a counseler when you need it.

I had a great weekend. Two days of REALLY 100%Op., all my water 64 oz., and two three mile walks. I have to say that is was hard. The points add up fast. It takes alot of focus. I also found that I was eating two many points because I never went down to a lower level when my weight dropped. The scale downstairs says I am 216/217. Last week when I was eating, eating, eating the scale ranged from 218 to 222 depending what day I weighed myself. I am trying to get to 216 by tomorrow so I will hit the 15# loss and get my second star. OK, it is little things that help me along the way. My meeting is tomorrow I will let you know how I did.

My mOm is home from the hospital and seems fine.

Everyone have a good day!

Shoot Bren I mean darn Bren don't you just hate being sick?? Sorry your tummy is upset. Hot tea with sugar in it and maybe some compazine. Hope it is just a 24 hour bug and you are better fast. Sending cyber get well soup by email!! Watch for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sharon, I am so glad you mother is better. What a relief!!!!!!
Good job on the 2 days at 100%:) Excellent!! Me too I will take all the little things I can get to help me lose weight!! I was thrilled when I hit my 10% target and for each 5 pounds star!!

I have a few things planned this am and going back to bed in a few minutes is one of them. I am so ready for this new day!! I can start over with a clean slate and remember what I did or didn't do yesterday!!

Hmmmmm nice brisk 37 this am. Wish we would get some snow!!!!!!!!

Let's do it!
Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hey Guys I was more like a devillast night instead of an angel as far as my eating went. Got into the pizza and later the candy. Good thing I had two great days on the weekend and exercised. I have my meeting this morning and will weigh in and see where I'm at. I will drink all my water and float to my meeting. Danced around a bunch of unwanted chores yesterday and had the play date from he**! Today will be better. Talk to you later off to play a computer game with Sara.

Good morning angels!

Sharon....I thought the same thing...the sympathy morning sickness! I'd rather get it over with! LOL! I was sick pretty much all day, but Lizzie, I think it was just a 24 hr. bug. I had soup for lunch! Thanks! And some wheat crackers later that seemed to settle it down some. I use tea with honey too. I HAD to have my coffee.....but only 2 cups.
I had a headache to go with it and chills...........I've had a headache for 5 days or so....just enough to bother me and tylenol seems to take care of it.

Sharon.....so glad Mom is doing ok and home from the Hospital. You've done great with the OP eating! Keep you at the top of your list of priorities!
I am still floundering after a week of eating a cow on the hoof a day when I was pumped up with steroids. It helps tremendously to be back at work tho!! I behave for those 9 hours at any rate!

Lizzie....you're a Doll! Changing the SHOOT ME to darn me! LOL! I feel like shooting me some days! My Mouth with a glue gun! I was so nice over the weekend....that's what made me sick, I'm sure!
I sure hope you're feeling MUCH better! Are you insulin dependent or do you use meds by mouth to keep diabetes under control......that's a JOKE I'm thinking as it takes SO much more. If we DID what we KNOW to do.....we would be in great shape! Recovery is HARD work!
God knows I'm uhhhhh....motivationally challenged......uhh....Hazy with an L.

My Dad was insulin dependent the last 3-4 years of his life but didn't exercise any control over his food, didn't take care of himself at all, smoked 2 packs of camels a day. My Mom uses the diabeta tablets.......same....no control of food and NO exercise. Then here go I........why can't I straighten up and fly right? I'm almost 35 again, what is my problem? I know I don't WANT to repeat their mistakes and live their life.....what will it take to get it right.....guess I need to check out the 4 D's........I did it for awhile and went crazy?

I feel great this morning, tho I did dream I was in the Hospital! They were gonna MAKE me get a pap and mammogram! The folks at the Y are put out with me 'cuz I'm waiting 'till January........for goodness sake it's ONE month past my 50th Birthday........the girl there seemed to think I was putting myself in jeapordy by waiting! Normally I'd do 'em in October but I have a prescription left on my hormones and I ain't going 'till I HAVE to!

STUBBORN and STOOPID......that's my sign for the day! LOL! I AM gonna get this........I AM gonna be good to me today! I AM.....gonna get me some huggies!
I'm going to Mom's after work today...taking her belated Birthday goodies over and none too soon! I'll get some of the crap out of my freezer and frig!
I'm gonna see my friend Travis while there. He's a great hugger..tho he does squish me 'till I pee sometimes!

I'm gonna do a 21 day challenge when I return from Mom's....
D-day is Friday the 8th............thru 29th. I'm making notes today and preparing.
I KNOW I can do this.....I am worth the effort it will take....I am MORE than my size.........I am SPECIAL....it's time I started acting like it!

I am long winded! LOL! I will go for now.......must have more coffee and get some things packed for Mom's.
You all are terrific! Have a wonderful day.....what day is it anyway? Feels like Friday.....ok.....it's Tuesday....MY Friday!

Take good care of yourself...........let's make it all about US today. Hello to the crew.....Mari, Stacey, Janet, Katie, Lee, AJ.......Sandie......gonna have to poke in her journal to see her! Have a great day, whatever it's doing outside! One of our tenants told me he appreciated my "quiet celebration" of the rain as he'd had quite enough! LOL!
I was going wasn't I?
Love and boo-coos of huggies to eveyone!
Mz B:D

Sharon!
We were posting at the same time!
ELABORATE! Playdate from He**??
PIZZA! OMG! I wanted pizza so bad yesterday! The commercials during Dr. Phil....make me lust for stuff!
I didn't have any.....but then I wanted Sonic stuff too! Didn't have that either! WAAAH! I want stuff!
I meant to say good job on the walking too! I must get back to mine now that I can hera my music again! YAY

I talked to John Sunday, Lizzie. I'm glad I called as he was thinking I was avoiding him or angry and it hurt him. I told him when I can't hear, I hide....he understood. He is thinking of leaving Abilene.....he is in such pain, missing Pat and the memories are smothering him emotionally. My heart hurts for him. No one can do this for him, but I pray for healing for him and strength for each day. He's very special.....would HAVE to be, to get my attention! LOL! Honestly, he touched me more than anyone has in a very long time and I hope he doesn't leave.....but if he does, I will be glad for having met him and sharing a bit of my time with him. I feel our paths crossed for a reason....not sure what but I am glad they did!

OK......enough of that....I'm gone.......suuuure I am!
Bren

Good Maaaaarning Angels,

Well here I am all excited about voting!! Just wish they would let vote more than once! I get all silly inside when I go to exercise my one little vote. I always tell myself my candidate won because my vote was the deciding vote. I know everyone thinks the election is about changing the government but actually it is about ME!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahaha OMG Lizzie is full of it today!!

I had a good day op yesterday and yuck I ate tuna. Well I wrote on my menu for yesterday but by the time I ate it my taste buds were not looking forward to it!! I now remember why I don't like tuna.

I was going to trim my hair last night and wouldn't you know it I got side tracked and was not going to cut my hair in the middle of the night. Good thing because my house was like a bus depot people in and out every few minutes. Does other people have have folks up and own all night? I met DH in the hallway 3 times before 4 am and sons at least 3 times that and besides putting dogs out was a fairly active night

I do have almost every light in the house on all night with the TV blasting and my son has the music coming from his room. Yep a very active night!! Then I am up making coffee about 4 am Yikes I am tired thinking about it!!.

Ok now I am off to get my shower and put a few roller s in this straight as string hair!!

Hey Sharon do you make your own pizza?? I have been making my own and has less fat and calories than regular pizza and less taste. But not to bad!!

I am leaving this minute or I will type another page.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hi Angels! Get better Lizzie and Brenda! Hope you're feeling great today! Sharon, you sound upbeat and on track....chalk up the one bad day as an anomoly and go on! I had 3 good days and 4 chow hound days last week and managed to weigh in 1.5 lbs less. Yeah! Its been a while since I've done that and day I feel like progress is once again under way. I'm now at 171.25 lbs and goal for next week is the 160's. I keep telling myself, I'll be there and I believe I will!

Here's a Spirit Stick:rose:. Take it, regroup, remember your goals, and reach out for it!

the

Thanks Janet!
I do feel MUCH better today,,,have fluid retention in my head but with more water it will "flush" away!
GREAT going! OMG! To see the 60's again! That's wonderful! You'll be there in NO time!

It is SO beautiful today.........I say that every day don't I? Today, folks, we have loverly sunshine, about 76 degrees, absolutley perfect weather for Mz. Bren to hike her tail off to the Park or track.
FIRST...........a nap! I woke up at 5:30 after a good night's sleep....spent the night at Mom's. Saw my brother twice. I went to the store for some things for Mom this morning, talked to Travis....no huggies....he had a Dr's appt. and had to come to Abilene. He asked me to come with....but if I'm driving/ridin' 40 miles I wanna be at MY place! LOL! I'm a weenie, yes I am.

Lizzie....you are funny....your vote was the deciding one! LOL! Hey, as far as I'm concerned, everything we do is all about US! Well.....in my world, it works as I'm the major player! LOL!
I'm gonna run....check mail.....watch soaps, get a nap. I had some lucious soup for lunch and I toted my brother's big bag of frozen asparagus home with me! I bought him a pack of cigs for it! I look forward to having some in the next few days!
TUNA! YUM! I'm one of the weird ones who really likes it.....sardines, salmon.........yumm!

I'll come play again later! Have a great day! Behave too........I know we can!
Bren

Hi Angels.
Well I voted as many times as I could yesterday and candidate still didn't win. Well now they all did but one! That is not bad!!
I just don't like to see the House and Senate controlled by one party. Especailly if that party also has presidential power. You bet I am very much into politics but just don't talk politics.

Now for the local news!! There isn't any!! South Bend has been shut down and closed due to lack of interest!! Pretty sad state of affairs.

Lizzie news?? Nope she is boring too!! However I did watch Dr. Phil. That was pretty good.

Hey Bren sounds like wonderful weather!!!!!!! Tis 39 here and rainy. My kind of weather. However suppost to be nice towards the end of the week. I was reading you post and for the life om could not understand why you were going to watch your soup. Then I finally figured it out watch soups and eat soup!! Yikes been a long day!!

Nice goal Janet!! I just know you will get there. Hey like the idea of the Spirit Stick!!

Wwo I am such a hard time sitting here trying to post. My goofy knee is giving me too much trouble to sit very long!!!!!!!!

So be back later........

Love and hugs,
lizzie

Hi Angels! So far so good and 6 more days of progress to go before the next weigh in! I'm going to be anxious to see that scale! Instead of groaning the springs will be saying "She's lightened up more!"

Yesterday was an OP sort of day! Higher than my targeted calorie count but within the range I need to lose. I target the low side (drs. 1500 goal)....typically miss it and come in around 1800. That's good for about 2 lbs which is exactly where I want to be! Unplanned munchies for yesterday was 1/2 cup of pecans. Oops...I love those nuts! In fact I'm just nutty over them! Hee-hee! 8-|

Have a great day! Be honest and faithful to yourself and achieve those goals! Today mine are as always 1) Another day OP 2) Exercise minimum 1/2 hr and a new one 3) Set goals for the next year! I'm going to try and come up with 100 before Jan 1 for next year and another 100 wishes for my lifetime. Afterall, what you set out to do could and can happen!

Good Morning,

Did you miss me yesterday~lol. I couldn't get on the internet. Changed my credit card which pays for my internet server and there was a mess up. I went thru DT withdrawel yseterday. Last night after I went for my walk I figured out how to use my husbands work internet srever. Hopefully I'll get it staightened out today. I am doing great if I do say so myself. I got my mountain walk in Sat,Sun and yesterday, been 100% OP since then with the exception of Monday (the anamoly,thanks, Janet)and got right back OP without interruption which is excellent for me.

As I've mentioned previously I think I have about three good days a month lately. I am definitely in one of those three and I am going to take advantage of the energy and the good spirits and the sun is shining. I couldn't ask for more. OK, I could but I won't I will be grateful for all that I have.

The girls have off today and tomorrow so I am looking forward to going places with them. Yesterday morning I made myself go out while the girls were in school and it was a good decision. I tend to think I should come home and get things done when I have those 2 hours three times a week but the funny thing is that I usually don't get things done anyway. I am home he rest of the day and have plenty of time to get things done. For my mental health I need to get out more. Then I function much better when I am home.

Janet you sound great I hear the enthusiasm and the determination. You know it can and will happen!

Hi Lizzie, Bren, Mari, Aj and everyone else.

Make it a good one.

Remember the saying of the day "Too bad ignorance isn't painful"

Hi Sharon,

While I was reading your post it occurred to me that I also do much better if I get out and do something besides staying in all the time. Just have to make myself get out!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Lately i have been struggling with staying on program. Oh I am staying on program it is just hard right now. Just am going to have to continue to give myself pep talks and do the exercises.

I made my doctor appointment for Dec 10 to have all my blood work done again to see if I can get off more meds. I have my doubts but will see. Also will give me some incentive to make sure i stay on program. Little accountability here. Plus the thought of insulin also helps me stay focused.

Alright goals for today:
1. stay on program
2. Drink water
3. Exercise
4. Write out reasons for starting this journey.

Hey Janet looks like a plan to me!!!!!!!!

Bren I see you didn't make it in yet today I am thinking I saw you with the boyz last night at the award ceremony!! They were all in fine tune and looking zoowoweeeeee. New word!!

Be back later to see how we are all doing!!!!!!!!!!!

Love and big hugs,
Lizzie

Hiya Lizzie!
I didn't even watch (oh beat me!) the awards as Dwight didn't have top billing and Toby won't shave! LOL! My Mom called to tell me Alan....whose honey is HE?....won 3 or 4 awrds...the greedy boy!

I fell asleep during One Life To Live and didn't come alive again until 5:30! That was a LOOOOOOOONG nap! I guess I needed it but.....oh never mind....it was a carb coma! The last I hope! LOL!
I picked up a magazine while shopping for Mom....got two by mistake....thought it had an article on Diabetes and the whole magazine is related to it! VERY interesting info! I left one with Mom who admitted she won't pay any attention to the articles, as one suggested NOT drinking much milk and she does a gallon in 3-4 days by herself and buys whole milk to boot.....SO.......I told her do not throw it away as I know others who would use the info....GEEEEEEZE........I am gonna leave her alone. I love her but can't make her take care of herself. Why won't people mind us, Lizzie?
Found out Travis was put on insulin about a month ago.....he said it's helped him feel better so he's not fighting it. I don't wanna go there and do that!
I'm gonna run to the store and get started on my "to do" list for today.

Have a wonderful day everyone. I'll be back to play after chores are done!:tomato:
Bren

Bren, I am jumping right in to claim my little blonde haired cutie!! Been keeping him a big secret but the CMA sure didn't!!!! My mother at 87 thought that cute little alan jackson was the bees knees. What does that mean??? So I bougt her a couple of his cd's and she won't play them. I have all he has ever recorded as with too many other singers!! I have a huge album collection then a huge tape collection and now a cd collection!! Yikes!!! Going to have to build another room for books and music.

I figure the money I save NOT buying junk food I could build something!! Anyway I am trying Sharon's ida of eating a bigger lunch and seeing how that works. Well I ate an 8 point lunch and can hardly move. I never eat that much at once. Well not any more anyway!! Bet I am not hungry the rest of the day!! Wow!!

Now to get the water in and the exercise. Should have exercised first!! Now have to wait a bit.

Janet you know you right on the money with doing things and making lists. If you don't plan something of course it won't happen. I am planning some life time goals and then doing them.
Finally got that straight in my head thanks to you!!

Okay hope everyone is having a good day and watching those programs and staying with in your guidelines. Looks like a little Indiana Summer coming up the next couple of days so I am really going to enjoy myself!!

Let's do it!! Time is fleeing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hiya Lizzie, Janet, Sharon.....where de debil is Stacey, Sandie, Mari, Lee, AJ.........let's load up th wagon and go find 'em!

I passed out at 5:30 yesteday afternoon and didn't get up 'till 2:30 this morning. I know.....that's 9 hours in the sack but I really don't wanna get it that way! LOL!
BUT....I'm getting laundry done, house cleaned (quietly, mostly) and will entertain myself awhile.

LIZZIE~~~~~The GREEDY girl....hmmmmm....where do you live? I'll bet you have books and music I'd want!
I have several cd's of Alans too. I was lookin' for Brooks and Dunn's with Maria on it.....WAAAAH, don't have it but WILL! My Mom may have it and I'm sure CD warehouse does. I have like 3 or 4 of theirs but not that one....as I said....WAAAH!
I was playing with the stereo Mom gave me...way fun! Of couresthey have 'em with 5 cd tray at K-Mart for less than a $100 but hey.....this one wuz free for me!
I'll have music for every room....well how many rooms do I HAVE?

I need spell check on my posts! This keyboard makes me feel like Jody Foster in that movie.....what was the name? Where she was in the boonies by herself and tayin in de win?

Gotta run........I may have time or a nappy before work! I intend to go out tonight and if I lay down when I get home, I'm out for the night!
I'm starting my 21 day countdown today: A challenge to mysef to get my SELF under control.

Have a super duper day.........c-ya later!
Brenda

Yawn:yawn: Last night was not a good sleep night and I'm beat and have a very busy day planned and a late night out. Uh-oh! Hopefully there is extra energy in the bank waiting to be used as needed today!

Hey Sharon-I also tend to have about 3 good OP days. If its better than that then oh boy 2.5-3 lbs go bye...see ya! October was a "slug" month....yup...creepy crawly...sort of ugly. But, I did get rid of 2.5 lbs and hey...that can be 36 lbs in a year.

Yup Bren...I was wondering where everyone else is too! Come out come out wherever you are! LOL! Maybe we'll have some reunion posts this weekend?

Yeah Lizzie, I love those lists and so do you! Maybe this does not work for everyone, but its definitely a key for me! Hey! I'm just like Rhymin' Simon! Ha! I only wish!

So, tell me country folk...do you all like Lyle Lovett? Or is he and his music just too weird? Just wondering. Can't say he's a cutie that I'd love to take home, but I like the guy 'cus he's different. But...what was Julia thinking????? Got to give her credit..she definitely thought she saw something below the surface...so not all those actor/actresses are the superficial type. Huh?

Have a great day!

Good Morning Ladies,

I tanked last night but am back 100% Op today. I am not even going to waste time on figuring out why I am just 100% OP today. Those anomalies keep tripping me up Janet but not for long~lol.

It is going to be beautiful today. The girls are off from school so I will definitely be at several parks and get some fresh air and exercise today. The weekend is also going to be beautiful so I will be outside a lot. I will definitely get my walk in Sat and Sun.

Nothing exciting here same old same old which is ok for me.

Make it a good one everyone!

Friday is FINALLY here!!

Thank goodness. I've had a week, I'll tell you! But, Toby made me feel all better when he sang his "Who's Yer Daddy" song JUST for me!!

I won't go into details here, but I'm happy to have this week over.

I've been doing pretty good, staying on points, although the high end. I was back at 246 on my weigh in, so I'm happy. I rode my bike last night for the first time in weeks!! Did 30 minutes, 6.1 miles. My legs are tired today!

I am going to break that 245 barrier next week. I just KNOW it!!

I'm so close to my goal, I can't wait! My hubby's work is having a Xmas party on 12/7, so I definitely want to get down more for that. We haven't been to a company function in two years. He's always proud of me anyway, but I want to look better. He's a supervisor, and the guys rag on him, so this will shut them up! :laugh: I *gently* suggested that he should work on dropping a few by then too. He said he planned to.

Have to get back to work now. Talk to you all later!

Good Friday afternoon Snow Angels,

Sorry I have been MIA all week. This has been one busy week for me and I am so exhausted right now I could easily fall asleep. I had a good week weight wise I am down another 1.2 lbs. I was surprised at the loss because usually when I am really tired I don't lose, but no complaining here. I am sooooo happy I can sleep in tomorrow it will feel so good.

Well I am going to keep this short because I need to go and run errands for work and grab some lunch. I will hopefully be back on Monday. Everybody have a great weekend.

Hiya Stacey and Katie! Glad ya dropped in! Hope you both have superior weekends to make up for the rough week!

My friend Idella just called to make sure I'm gonna be there tonight before she calls for our table. I told her the only thing that would stop me is if Dwight wanted to stop by and wallow with me in the floor....for SOME reason she doen't think that will ever happen!

I'm gonna put on some music and entertain myself. I can't get too still or I'll be wakin' up at 11:00 PM and have missed the show!

Have a good evening everyone and a wonderful weekend.....I plan to!
Bren:D

GOOOOOOD morning already!

This night owl was in bed at 10:15....how's that? I danced 2.5 times. Idella ragged me for dancing....I use the term loosly.....with a wooly booger straight from the woods........she said I must be hard up.......I tried to explain that even a bad dance is exercise! The crotchety ol' poot! She needs a big dose of JOY!

I danced a couple of times w/John.......that wuz nice. I got a call and had to leave. It was my bed calling! I told her I'll be there tonight so behave herself.
Gonna check out the temp so I'll know how to dress this morning and head to the track! Feels SO good to get some walking in again! Didn't think I'd ever say honestly that I MISS exercise! I must be thankful I can DO it!
Have a great day angels............I'll catch ya later!
Brenda

Good Morning Snow Angels,

Wow I have been up since around 3:30 or 4am was so early that my body got up long before my mind. How is that for weird??

Well I got on the scales this morning and wish I had not. I knew I shouldn't until I get this blood sugar thing taken care of. Oh well I just can not allow the scales to define who I am but I am X-( .

Now that I am over that I am in for today and going to:
1. Stay on program
2. Eat more veggies
3. Drink more water
4. Duct tape my mouth
5. Take a walk
6. Enjoy this beautiful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched a movie at 12 last night and got over at 2 am. Short night!! Mine always are. Anyway was not as good as I thought it would be. "Murder by Numbers" with Sandra Bullock. I wouldn't watch it again.

Wish I had some words of wisdom to jump start my day. How about" GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND MOVE LIZZIE" hey that might work. Well it is almost 8 am and time for my nap. See you all later today and don't take any wooden nickles.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Hello Angels.....I am back from my mini get away! LOL. I had a nice time just not having to deal with anything here at home, like laundry, dishes, cleaning etc. Ya know...all the neverending chores?!?! m LOL I am feeling great, and holding at 180!! I had my doc appt. on Monday, and he was very pleased with how things were going. He said keep it up, cuz you're doing great. No morning sickness, headaches, etc. Just a little tired. He didn't do an exam....it's being saved for the next appointment! Oh boy! LOL He said he's pretty sure I am at 4 weeks, so that would make me 5 weeks as of yesterday. He also said we will know for sure next time after we do0 an exam, then we can have a better idea, but he said more than likely my due date will be July 11th. He thinks it will be sooner because my daughter was 10 days early. Also, because I had a fairly short labor for my first child. I am excited, just as long as it is not over 4th of July...my doc will be out of town, and I don't want the backup doc!! Oh well....just need to pray about it, because this baby will come out when it is ready right? LOL :laugh: Well.......so good to see you all, I need to get going and go get a shower. I will try and be back later, or I will see you tomorrow! Hugs, AJ

Welcome Home Aj,

Yipeeeeee you sounds so rested and healthy. Good for holding at 180 and not gaining while on vacation. Wow no morning sickness that is really great. Well we will be here cheering you on!!

Good to have you back.
Love and hugs,

Wow! Everyone is popping in for a visit! Glad to see you all! I've been busy busy and OP! Not a lot of time to post and stop in right now. AJ -glad to hear you're doing well. I'm a July 10 baby so I'll easily remember your due date! Well, Tuesday looks like another good weigh in day....progress continues! Will it be less than 20 lbs to go? Yes! Yes! I hope so and its looking good! Come on 160's! Managed to get in 16 miles on the bike yesterday and 4.5 miles of walking. Today...its raining. Yucky! I'll still walk at least twice, will probably put a walk aerobics tape on by Jenny Sansone too and do that inside for 1/2 hr. Maybe the rain will break! Have a great Sunday!

Good morning everyone!
HEY AJ....wonderful news! Taking good care of you, had some off time to chill a bit! Glad you're back!

Janet! Good going! Great milage.....and walking even in the rain.Getting wet doesn't bother me but the wind does.....I got a headace yesterday being out 6 times in it at work. We had sand mixed in as well ......but it could always be worse! It was 82 here yesterday! WAAAAAAH! That's not fall weather!

Mz. Lizzie......your schedule is "throwed off" as a dear friend of mine says....actually he said I'm throwed off.....he's trippin'!
I can't say much as mine resembles it somewhat, just the hours of operation vary! I wasn't quite ready to come out of the covers this morning at 6:00........couldn't go back to sleep thinking of stuff I needed to do before work...so here I am...toiling away!
Actually I MADE myself put laundry away (that I did on Thursday), before I could play, and I have the timer set for 30 minutes play time........wow I've used up 15 already! I'd better book!

Stacey, Sandie, Mari, Lee, all our crew~~~~~~have a great day!
I'll c-ya later!
