Haha, good point! I'm gonna be a pirate! Inspired by Jack Sparrow, of course

Thank you, kind sir, I'd like my multi-vitamin hidden in a cupcake, if you don't mind.![]()
How far will you be from the new EOS?
Question of the Day
I was told when I was growing up that "Idle hands are the devil's workshop" Some people suggest that to curb snacking you should have a hobby.
Do you have a hobby? Does it help you stop snacking?
Good Luck to Cam and Maria, and anyone I might be missing who is running the Providence RnR 1/2 this weekend! I hope you have a FABULOUS time! I can't wait to hear all about it!![]()
lately on my walks i've been listening to sorcerer radio. srsounds.com it's an all disney all the time online radio channel. pretty good! only problem is that they've been running this 'christmas in july' show alot and listening to chip and dale singing christmas songs in this heat is a little weird. if anyone's looking for a little disney in their workouts i suggest listening to it. helps pass the time for sure!![]()

After everything I've eaten this week, imagine my shock when I was down significantly at WW this morning.How in the world did that happen? I was dumbfounded and kept looking at my membership book because I was in a state of disbelief. LOL! Staying on track this week should be somewhat easier.
Patterns are so awkward sometimesIt's funny, because everything else I made the size I thought I was gonna need, and it's a little big now! Go figure, haha

I'm so sick of TX heat!! Its 112 degrees outside right now (and I wish I was kidding when I say that). We went out to run some simple errands and we're both drenched. Its pretty sad when you have to take 2 showers a day becaue of the dang heat.

I'm not sure exactly how old he was, but he was in an "adolescent" class, so somewhere between the ages of 12-18, I would think. I just keep thinking of the looks on the faces of his personal aide, his physical therapist, the education director, and the classroom nurse when they found out. The nurse never cries, so to see her so visibly upset about it really set the rest of us off and it was an extremely somber bunch that left the building today.
The education director broke the news to all the aides in our class, and she said, "Unfortunately, this is something we're used to." That statement horrified me and I cant help but wonder how many other children have gone to school there and passed away, since it is generally a school for medically frail children, at least among the older kids.
We love EOS. We make a point of eating there each trip. As a matter of fact we will be there in 10 days. Can't wait!!!
I'm not sure where it is. I found the picture and article on AOL.

I only have a few minutes...
Happy Birthday Sue and Cam!
Off to bed have early morning errands. Zoe's surrogate papa(my best friends dad) shocked the heck out of me and my best friend sent me a message he wanted to take her supply shopping. My friend had known I was waiting on money from her dad that still hasn't been deposited and I suspect it got out to them(we were planning to meet them last Saturday for dinner but it didn't show up so we couldn't go). He has a soft spot for kiddos that have dads that flake or write them off. My friend's(since high school) half-sister was adopted by him and he raised her as his own. He spoils all the grandkids to pieces but still has that soft spot for those that are somewhat dumped by their dad. Zoe is definitely like another granddaughter to him. We've been around them all Zoe's life at parties, get togethers and such. They are family. It was such a relief with the loss of my job last month.
cam and sue how was the rest of your birthday? hope it was great!!!
Happy Birthday Sue and Cam!
Thanks Dona

I'm back - for real this time!
After such a warm welcome, something came up last week that completely sapped all of my emotional and physical energy, so I really wasn't in a "loser" frame of mind. I'm here this week, though, and doing better - I've run/walked twice this week, and haven't had any soda since Monday. I don't think I will have lost any weight since my original weigh in, as last week included lots of deserts and sodas, but I'm excited to start this off again - just over a month until Disney, so I still have time to tone up for the trip!
The margaritas were yummy, as were the mai tais, pina coladas and mojitos, but sadly still not enough to overcome family dynamics.![]()
I know what you mean, Sue, thankfully every day is a chance to begin again.![]()
The sweet potato fries were served with some kind of dipping sauce that seemed like mayo. Totally bland and unappealing (fortunately). WOW! Your birthday celebrations sound wonderful. LOVE Tiramisu and Opera cake. Totally jealous!
Thank you for asking about Jenn and Cali. Jenn's surgery went well and I am hoping the recovery is quick and uneventful. Cali's mass was stage 2 cancer and the vet said she got a very good margin at all but one spot where it was a bit thin. Cali goes for suture removal today and will start on the cancer treatment which includes steroids in addition to the antihistamine she is already on. She'll also be on prilosec because the steroids could hurt her tummy. I'm sure she doesn't mind the meds since we wrap them in turkey lunchmeat to get her to swallow it. LOL! Thank you, kind sir, I'd like my multi-vitamin hidden in a cupcake, if you don't mind.![]()
QOTD: We tried EOS last December and ended up going two nights in a row! Can't wait until the one opens in Boston! We are planning a DisMeet around that one!

About a 20 minute walk from work...which could turn out to be a bad thing, I'll have to walk in the other direction most of the time![]()
Good Luck to Cam and Maria, and anyone I might be missing who is running the Providence RnR 1/2 this weekend! I hope you have a FABULOUS time! I can't wait to hear all about it!![]()
That's so sad. Was this the first time you've seen it at your work? Those poor parents. What types of frail illnesses do they have?
Good Evening Losers!!!!
QOTD Friday August 5 2011
What is your favorite go to healthy recipe?
The thread's not dead! Us west coasters are still up. I just got home from an hour trip north to ikea! Went last week while kiddos were camping and bought some drinking glasses for DH. He thought they were too small so we popped up tonight and exchanged them for bigger ones. Now if only I could get him to drink his water! I let my boys drive themselves to grandma's house. It's over 100 miles away over a mountain pass! Can't believe we let them go. But they made it fine and I'm sure will make it home tomorrow just fine. (But anybody who wants to pray, feel free--that's what I'll spend the afternoon doing!) They left yesterday. I had the ceasar salad at ikea for dinner, only used a bit of the dressing. It was yummy; so was the chocolate milk I had with it!
Lisa, I think your 50 meals is such a smart idea. If I were organized I'd do something like that, too.
Have a super day, Losers. Send in your weight, measurements and hh points.
Runners have a great race this weekend!
I like making grilled turkey burgers on whole wheat buns and sweet potato fries baked in oven. I mix in onions, garlic, and sun dried tomatos with the meat to give it a healthy boost.
As for the previous QOTD I don't have a hobby. Mainly because I think I am borderline OCD. Whatever project I start, I HAVE to finish. I love puzzles but takes a long time to put one together in one sitting. Same with sewing, I can't just start it and walk away. Is all very annoying. So I tend to not do hobbies.
First off, I would like everyone to do 2 things this weekend:
1. plan your meals for the week
2. plan your workouts for the week
