To all of you....Sorry I haven't been around much. For some reason my life has gotten very busy, and I'm not really making any OT!!! Speaking of which, I hope the new OT law doesn't affect me. I NEED the money for DCL cruises!!! I don't think it is going to effect me though!

Hey Tina,,,,one RN to another, what is the deal with this new law???? my boss was talking about it today but us "worker bee" RN's are in a union....it is in our contract that we get paid overtime....how do you think it will affect you?
TIA, Pat

[cjsmom97]

That is the best news Sarah!!! Good choice, mom!!

 

[chichihoney]

jeanna are u going to chat?

 

[cjsmom97]

Sorry! I missed it. I have finally come up for air after having all the kids. I managed to survive ok, but whoa, what an experience. The countdown is on. I have my formal night dress but it doesn't fit yet!!! I finally got off my butt and started working out again. So, keep me in your thoughts because I need all the help I can get. I have 17.5 pounds to lose before the cruise and about 12 weeks to do it in. Thank God formal night is right away and not at the end of the cruise. I may not fit into my dress again by then with all that food tempting me!!!

Sounds like the beginnings of a challenge, Jeanna! I'll challenge you to a 17.5 lb loss. 17 lbs would put me over 55 lbs---good for that extra cheescake or konk kooler .

We didn't have a chat last night---maybe Friday?

I'm up for that challenge. It's less than 2 pounds a week. I don't even know what a konk cooler is but I know I want to try the chocolate souffle at Palo's!

 

[Hannosmom]

Let's go for it, Tara! The chocolate souffle is worth every calorie!

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

sounds like a good challange to me. I've lost 10 lbs and would love to lose another 17.5

 

[cjsmom97]

I think you are all right!! This may be what I needed to get motivated. You are all on!!!

But here's the deal... we all have to do it together!!! And, we have to have a reason to WANT to lose the weight (besides the good health, blah, blah, blah....) SO...
The last one to lose 17 pounds has to buy the first round of drinks for our DIS meet!! Sound like a plan??



Now, the details....

Those who are in can report in at the end of the week and (as long as Ed agrees.....) we can have him post on the website our loss from now (just to clarify... only our LOSS NOT our weight!!). Perhaps a bar graph... what do you think Ed? We will all be winners but the last one will have to buy the others competing a round of drinks. Tell me what you think?!?!?!

 

[Hannosmom]

Sounds great and Ed agrees!

 

[GrayFal]

So when are we starting the week????
My dieting has been a little 'slow' lately so a bit of motivatioin would be helpful....maybe we need or lawyer to draw up the terms of this agreement

 

[cantsitstill]

I'd join you guys, but I'd be the one buying the drinks!!!

 

[KyCruisinSusan]

Ok I'm in. It will probably cost me a fortune since I've been "dieting" since March, but what the heck.

And my counting stops the day we leave for florida.

 

[PoohJen]

Count me in too (but my goal is 10 plus the 3 I gained in Fla this week)!!! I sooooo need to get off my butt and exercise in order for this to work for me. I dutifully drank my Atkins shake this a.m., now if i can just avoid temptations...

Hi Ya'll!!!!

Sorry I have been away...as a new Safety Manager, (5 months into the job) I had Safety Audits from corporate this week on the two facilities that I manage!! I have been working around the clock to get the facilities prepared and it totally paid off!! I scored a 94 and a 98!!! (The scores last year were an 88 and an 89) Woo-Hoo!!! I can hardly stand it!!! The 98 gets us a safety award from corporate!!!! I am psyched!!

Feenie - congratulations on your new job!!

Sarah - great news about your hearing aids!!

Okay girls, bring it on!! I'm in for the challenge!!!!!!!!

I have missed you all and will be around more for chats!! I don't have any trips planned for work at this moment....The next trip I take is VACATION!!!!!!! Yee-Haa!!!!

I will talk to ya'll soon!!

Love ya's!!

Trish

 

[Hannosmom]

Wow! We've got a nice group of challengers going here!

Pat, just use your latest weigh-in and we will check back next Wednesday with our losses.

Susan, I hear ya! Plus there is no such thing as a weigh-in on vacation.

Dawn, you would probably whip our "you know whats" on this challenge. But...... with the surgery.....laying on the couch.......eating bon bons...... . Just kidding, sweetie, hope you are feeling much, much better!

Jen, welcome to the challenge! Do vacation pounds (gaining, losing) count as yoyo dieting? Start your walking and keep plenty of cold root beer on hand!

Trish, so glad you a done traveling for awhile. Hope those great numbers make for a nice bonus!! BTW--your dh (xcydid) cracks me up!

Chat later!
