Fingers, huh? That is one I have not heard before! have a wonderful time in Arizona, that sounds like a fabulous place to go at the end of February!
Yep, weird, I know.
But the wedding ring had to be retired for awhile -- amazing! I am hoping for some temperature over 70 in Arizona!
I have to celebrate a personal victory today. Try as I might I could not get below the 150's with my weight ever since I got pregnant in 2004. Today I stepped on the scales and for the first time in 6 years I broke the threshold - 149.8
. I feel a little guilty about celebrating since it's not that big of a loss but it was pretty darn hard for me to get here.
Woot! Woot! Way to go! How exciting! Your hard work is paying off.
Back from DL! I love going to DL and LOSING weight! WOO HOO!!!!! However, now I am so totally sick...so no gym time for me, can't breathe, but hopefully, can't eat much either
!!!!
Glad you had a good time at DL but sorry you brought back a not so nice souvenir. Hope that you are feeling better soon!
I decided to quit smoking today. I woke up this morning and thought "Hmmm.... I think I will stop smoking". So, I did. I put what was left of my last pack into the kitty litter garbage (no way I was going to get it out of there if I was jonesing for one) and put the kitty litter garbage at the curb and watched the garbage man take it away. I started smoking when I was 16 (I'm almost 42). I quit cold turkey with all of my pregnancies. 4 years ago I quit and didn't pick it up for over 3 years... then last May I started again.
I don't smoke in the house... only outside. Since I've lost weight I'm always cold. It suddenly dawned on my how stupid it is for me to get all bundled up to go outside to smoke. I come in the house from smoking and it takes me forever to get warm.... then I do it all over again!
Bye bye Marlboro!
Tuesday QOTD: Where on your body do you first see weight loss? Is there a part you are just waiting to see (or have just seen) emerge?
According to my hubby the first place I lose is my hips and rear. I think the last place I lose is my chin area. I've started doing chin exercises at night while I watch TV.
Go, Ann, Go!
You can do this! What a great gift to yourself and your family to get rid of that habit for good. You can all go on a Disney vacation with the money you'll save.
QOTD - I definately loose weight in my stomach first. Then my face and backside. LOL. I guess that is a good course to follow.
I got a job today. I dont know if I am happy or a little sad. I was bored staying home since my son is in school but I hate to give up my free time. I hope they really do keep my hours at a per diem level like they said they would. The pay down here is terrible. It is half of my old job but what can you do. I am excited to meet new people and have some adult convo though. I cant wait to watch the figure skating tonight. Whoo Hoo. Have a great day everyone.
Congrats on the new job. It will be fun to get out in the adult world. My son got to liking daycare so much he would ask me to come back and get him later!
Only my second day at work and came home with the lovely stomach virus. I hope it is gone by 1 pm tomorrow I have to be at work then. Doesn't look good to call in sick to a doctor's office on the 3rd day.
QOTD: 1st place I lose is my fingers, wrist and chest area by the collar bone.
If I could pick a name for an eighth dwarf my choice for myself would be CRAPPY. That's how I feel.
lovedvc. This is rough week for you and when you add the stress of a new job, it's ten times worse. I hope you have an understanding boss and that you are feeling better soon.
Jessi, sounds like a wild day in your classroom but the kids rose to the occassion. Some day you will have a regular day, in your regular room, everyone will do what they are supposed to and you get everthing done that you want. It will happen one of these days. Think of all the great character building exercises you have going on until that time!
Tomorrow will be a test of my weightloss progress. Last time I flew on US Air in the front row, I had to have a seatbelt extender -- it was very, very embarrassing.
The only time it's ever happened. I have a seat in the same row tomorrow. I'll live if I need an extender but I am really hoping that I won't. I had no problem on my Florida flights and that was a couple of years ago -- yet it nags me.
On a good note today I had a new client who told me that he has had at least ten people in the last five years tell him that I am an excellent attorney. That made me feel very nice because so often I only hear about the people who don't like me.
So on that happy note I will head off the Arizona and keep in touch when I can. Have a great evening all!
Zilch on the progress. I am getting re-energized for March!! And for me, I recognize it is more a mental commitment than ever before. ... I am gonna do this!!!!
Wasn't it cool to see North America take Gold & Silver! The US & Canadian teams looked so happy. I did find it funny that they have the same coaches. The woman coach swaps from the US jacket to the Canada jacket in between the 2 numbers. I think it'll be great to see how they both do in the next competition 
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just the norm for me.
Of course part of it may be that I 100% weaned my last kid after 10+ years of solid breastfeeding (I'm one of those freaks who believes in extending breastfeeding - don't worry...they're well-weaned by the time they start school!). But that combined with losing 20+ pounds...poor, sad, little deflated balloons. 
I need to go bra shopping now because they're way too loose. OK, now I'm depressed and need to go find a cookie. Besides ****s, I'd say hips/waist/butt - it's not an Olympic event trying to fasten up my pants anymore.
