:thewave: I figured that I would join the party! Congrats! I know that cake was so hard to resist! I went to a wedding shower today and did not eat a bite. There was nothing there that I could eat. One of the hostesses asked me why I wasn't eating and I told her that I was just going to eat at home. No explanation at all! I worry that I might have hurt her feelings, but I didn't think about what I had said until I got home and then started feeling kind of bad for saying that without explaining. I did not want to be center of attention. Incredible Shrinking One...have a great day! Oh and keep on so you can have more clippie parties!

Did someone say Clippie party?
By pole climbing school time- you can wear the double steel toed shoes without any worries. ( I bet your toes will be glad to hear that!)
Keep up the great work!

:happy2: 25 POUND CLIPPIE!!! COOL!!! :happy2: :happy2:
O Incredible Shrinking One!! Many warm congratulations on your Incredible Shrinking!!
Also, I'm glad you got signed up for Pole Climbing School. You'd better start planning a (non-food!!) reward for when you complete that milestone!!
You're doing a great job and maintaining your sense of humor the whole time!
Hope you have a great Wednesday!

Hey folks, well sorry I have been gone awhile. I had more computer probs. so I just went to Wal Mart and bought myself an e machine and boy is it great!
Well, I have held by clippie and also lost another lb. so I am down to 270 by my home scale which makes 60 lbs lost total from where I started at 330.
Work has been hectic as usual. One sentence for those of you out there to help your local phone supervisor "Call before you dig!".
Well DW has a womens group meeting tonight so me and the boy will be at my mothers chillin' till it is safe to come home.
Our weekend shapes up as the following:
Sat: I will be going to Memphis with our Sunday class to see the Memphis Redbirds AAA baseball team play.
Sun: DW, DS and I will be going to St. Louis to see the zoo. DW thinks we just have to go before the new bundle arrives and this is the last weekend dr. will let her travel so wish me luck. Will be off work Mon. recuperating.
Gotta run,
The incredible shrinking one!

Well, well,
Where has the time gone. This has been a really long period off for me. The weekend was something else. I went to Memphis to see the Redbirds play and wouldn't you know it, rained out! We sat at the stadium for 3 hours waiting and it just wouldn't let up. However we did go the The Rendezvous for BBQ which I must say was excellent! If you are in Memphis, it is really something to try!
After the 6 hour round trip to Memphis, got home Sat. night, went to bed and got up at 5:45 am and drove DW and DS to St. Louis, MO Sunday morn. We went to the Butterfly house in the am and to the Childrens Magic House in the pm. For those of you who haven't read this, I was not thrilled with the timing for this trip, but I tucked my lip in and toughed it our for DW. For those of you wanting somewhere to spend 6 bucks a head, you can go to the Butterfly house and walk in a greenhouse and let butterflies fly all around you, which I must admit was pretty cool. DS 3 1/2 years old would flinch everytime one would get near him. (That was worth the price of admission!)
Later we went to the Magic house which for those of you who don't know is a house where they have all kind of educational fund things for kids to play with. It was really cool even for those older kids like myself.
Sunday we went to the St. Louis Zoo. It was nice...and big with lots of walking. I felt like I was in a bizarro Animal Kingdom only not as nice and much more walking involved! Our little boy really enjoyed the penguins.
Well gotta run...I'll fill you all in on the rest of the week later!!
The incredible shrinking man!

We went to the hospital where we are going to have the new baby on the 28th of the month for a meal and tour of the facilities. Yes the nerves are starting to get to me.
Well things are going well. I am going to try to get to everyones journals today, I have been really busy this week. After we got back from St. Louis on Monday, I had to turn around and attend a conference in Louisville, KY which is about 3 hours from our end of the state. I was gone until Wednesday night. Got back to work Thursday and Friday and I have 24 hour duty for the next two weeks so....
Gotta go mow the grass!

Hey Dax,
I've been missing in action too for the last 2 weeks, trying to get caught up with everyone today.
Sounds like you have had a busy 2 weeks, - but don't forget to enjoy your sleep - while you can!
The Butterfly house sounds cool, we have something like that a few hours from here, the kids usually go on a school field trip, I haven't been yet.
Some day!
Keep up the great work on those new clippies- Mr Shrinking Man- I'm ready for another parrrrtttyyyy.

Hey incredible shrinkin one! 60 pounds total is something to be proud of! I can only imagine how that feels! GREAT, right? I know that you are so excited about your new baby. Babies bring a special kind of joy into the home. We are through with that stage in our lives and sometimes miss those times, even though we enjoy our children at the ages they are now.
I am glad that your family got to take one last trip before the arrival of your new addition. Remember to enjoy every minute of it!!!

Well hello again everyone!
Lot is going on! Where to start....
Well, the countdown is on, we have about 7 days until the new baby arrives. Girl name is Olivia, still undecided on the boys name, right now Houston is the front runner.
I just got accepted to Murray State's MBA program. Bell is going ot pay for it so I thought, "Why not!?" I have a lot of prereq's since my degree was not in business, but I think I can double up on them and knock them out.
Friday, is Marshall County's Relay for Life. My DW is the team chair for our church. So far we have raised approximately $1500 and expect to make another $500-800 at the relay selling hotdogs, hamburgers, and drinks. I really love going to this, it allows me to catch up with old friends from school and such. I am planning on walking for about 3 hours tommorrow night at the relay. Why not incorporate the diet with the relay!?
Well, as of right now, Midnight Thursday I am still at 264. I drank about 200 oz's of water today and jogged for about 40 minutes along with about 20 minutes of walking, I really hope to be about 262 by tommorrow, but we will see won't we. I can really see an major change in my body with my tummy flattening out. I have received alot of comments noting it which is great!
I think tommorrow afternoon my old college roomate who lives in New York City is coming in and we are going to have lunch and catch our alma mater play baseball at MSU. He is from Cape Girardeau, MO originally. Got his MBA and now he makes the big bucks in NYC. Doesn't own a car, says it is much easier to go without one there what with the garage costs and such!
Well gotta run!
