So if you have the courage to help me through tomorrow. I'd appreciate it. I dont want to exercise alone... so just knowing there will be others doing 100 crunches, or strength training... I think it may help me....
wow...you're really delusional tonight, huh?
Sandy, ditto on what punkin said so well! You're doing great!!! I am getting back on my exercise bike tomorrow. No excuses.but the important thing is YOU'RE DOING IT!!!!!!!! you're getting off your bum and you're going out there and you're trying. what else can you do? just keep doing what you're doing and it will come easier and the weight will eventually fall off. like has been said so many times on this thread....slow and steady wins the race!
WE are praying for Ryan and a x special one for you it is not hard going thorugh such things not pregnant!
PLease know you have a bunch of crazy blessed peeps hanging in your corner! Who wouldn't want a bunch of pixie dust crazed big hearted peeps knocking at God's door, you know some of us here can be a bit pushy and have had great success in getting our prayers answered.
I think God just knows oh those peeps are praying , they wouldn't let up so I better get on that one! They dpn't know the word NO!![]()

NO I refuse to accpet such an ending!
Wow - sounds interesting - and inspiring - like you really accomplished something. Way to go!I'm alive! I feel like I walked the entire original Oregon trail, but I walked every stinking sandy, rocky, uphill, downhill, sideways and crooked mile!We only did @ 15 miles total over a day and a half but when you're in a dress to your ankles and it's hot and windy and you're walking thru ankle deep sand, there's alot of praying that happens! I stepped on the scale when I got home yesterday and it says I lost 10 pounds! I'm sure 8 of that is pride and will be back as soon as I can walk again without asistance. I really had an amazing time as did my son and all the youth with us. It's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. I'll post some pics later of it. Anyhoo, just thought I'd check in incase anyone was worried about me getting left dead along the trail.
There's waay to many pages for me to catch up so if there's anything I need to know, let me know, k! I'm going to go back to bed for an hour and then drag my butt to church.
love the pics - intersting about the cats!Hope y'all like the pictures. Notice the beautiful weather. High of 85 degrees and low humidity.
I'm crunching tonight. I only skipped yesterday!BUT I have to do crunches.
I will say the one and only reason I went out there at 8pm tonight is because of the wish running thread. There are people there with serious medical problems... and they overcome. They run. They make a goal and they do it. I posted my goal of a 5 mile run and then they posted good luck, and cheered me on... how could I let them down?
So if you have the courage to help me through tomorrow. I'd appreciate it. I dont want to exercise alone... so just knowing there will be others doing 100 crunches, or strength training... I think it may help me.... (and I feel pretty stupid, I'm the dork over hear just crying... I'm sure its all JK Rowlings fault!!)
Night peeps!
Always glad to welcome a new peep!So, I need to lose about 45 pounds, and I'm having trouble sticking with it. Can I join to get the ummmph that I need from you guys??
Sorry, I didn't read all 1150 pages . . .

How exciting...I got mine yesterday but haven't started it yet. I'm trying to savor it.
And please I beg of you and all the other Harry Potter fans on the board....please please please do not give anything that might even be semi construed as a spoiler (not that you did...just saying for the future).I'm so nervous that I will accidentally read something online or someone will say something around me...especially since its the last book and everyone is so curious about the ending.

You got up and you did it--that is an accomplishmentLove the pictures Danielle!
Punkin - I'm having a brain freeze
HP - LOL about the movie - I was thinking book 7 needs to be a two part movie they have to fit it all in!! I'm on a few message boards, and I succombed to a spoiler - so no nothing here - I will say dd has asked dh to read it... so to make it last and she'll have someone to talk to about it with!! DS decided to refresh his memory so he's rereading book 6... Me, I read it... (yep I read the last chapter first!) and I laughed, and dh, dd, and ds yelled at me to leave the room... I cried, and they screamed at me!!Hard to believe its been ten years!
BB - I cant understand why the Dick Danielle poignant moment was shown, but not Dick blabbing everything she asked him NOT to tell anyone! Disgusting! Editing!
Major whine fest - blog - etc -
I dont know how y'all do it. I was scheduled to do a long run, 5 miles... next Saturday is my first ever race (just a 5k) well because I had to read HPThen I had to take a nap, then big brother came on...
so sad, too bad, I ran anyway... I am SO NOT A RUNNER... I am a whiner, and a quitter... its what I do best. I feel sorry for me. I made it. I had a great determination. I didnt have to walk at all. Dh did his long run - 12 miles... or was it 9... but I am so fat. the pounding of the fat on my knees and ankles is tremendous. It took me at least 80 minutes, which is pretty much more than 16 min miles, which means, I'm going to be swept in the Disney half marathon.. You know how stupid my mom's scale was? well my home scale showed me gaining 3# so that's not even close to getting rid of this extra weight. and I havent done crunches... I must be at a 2 week mark... I always quit after two weeks... WHERE IS THE MAGIC PILLS> Its not easy, but today is over. I made it today. Tomorrow, I just have to do 3 miles... or cross train. BUT I have to do crunches.

YAY!!!this morning i got up and weighed myself and i was completely surprised to see 134 pounds!!!
And you lost 10 pounds!I'm alive!
I love this! So true! Prayers continuing for Ryan.Greater the Victory greater the Testimony.
Glad you're back! I've been worried and calling for you. I guess I forgot you were on vacation....again.I'm still behind on this thread but trying to catch up from my trip.
You CAN do it! I'm just sitting around here on my lazy bum. At least you're getting out and running...no matter the speed. You're my hero, Sandy.So if you have the courage to help me through tomorrow. I'd appreciate it.
This is so true, Fidge. Reminds me of the parable of the persistant widow in Luke.I think God just knows oh those peeps are praying , they wouldn't let up so I better get on that one! They dpn't know the word NO!![]()

I've been trying to mark things off my to do list. I've been Christmas shopping online - ordered lots of books! I think I'm nearly finished. Yea!
Like a diary that talks back as Dene said!It's like talking to yourself with someone who cares listening.
Dont know how i missed this earlier, but I saw it quoted. That is fantastic!!! I have never been that weight in my life, or if I have I was about 10 yrs oldOriginally Posted by punkin413

I am SOOO not into HP. It is just not my thing I guess.okay....i know some of you guys are gonna tear me a new one for this, but i'm not a harry potter follower so gimme a break. we were over at ray's mom's house tonight for my birthday dinner and i saw that ray's nephew had the new harry potter book. well, i was really bored because ray and his nephew were playing the wii and so i started reading the epilogue. I KNOW....I KNOW......i'm spoiling all the fun. but i was just curious what it said. i hope all the HP fans don't cast a spell on me now!!!![]()
to the BB fans......WHAT IS WITH AMBER'S CRYING???? it's getting on my nerves. it's a little ridiculous. and i hate jen....i mean really despise the girl. but i do have to make the comment that she has an amazing body. i like the fact that she's not skinny...she's built and that's what i want to look like. a girl can dream.....anyway, if only she had more going on upstairs. i was hoping for another janelle this year, but i don't see it happening.

Night peeps!
I remember when it started and they wre introducing everyoen Kail seemed very sheltered...small town, small town experiences I guess.Oh ya. Jen needs to go and take her soulless, expressionless, hair-flipping, lying ways with her.
The one with the BIMBO voice would get my vote just to not have to listen to her.
Dick is somewhat cool now that we get to know him. But I dislike his immature side.
Kail is really a nice lady I think but she's sheltered. Her comment on the gay housemate was weird about her "not minding gay guys until they put on all their makeup..." or something like that. Made her sound narrow minded...but she likes his heart.![]()
I LOVE America's Player! What a fun position he has. I wonder if the other players will freak when they find out he's been playing them (nicely)?
You people are distracting me from my new Harry Plotter book. I read the very last chapter first! Harry DIESI can't help myself! I always do that! Is that the ultimate in impatience?

I hope to hear dome good news today....they have been through So much already! I will keep them in my prayers.Thank you so much. I know that you and many more are praying and it is an awesome thing. Here is the latest update from his dad--I copied it from their online journal. It broke my heart--but God is faithful and good. Randy is in the Air Force at Columbus Air Force Base.
I arrived home about 7pm and did not want to walk into the house. The house is just not the same when it's quiet; it's going to be a long 2 wks.
All of Ryan's blood tests came back normal but the doctor was alarmed when the chest x-ray returned. Ryan had a tremendous amount of fluid surrounding his right lung. The doctor immediately said to get him to the OR ASAP. The surgery went fine but when Ryan returned he started complaining of chest pain. It escalated into an all out scream of pain. Heather said she had never seen anyone under so much pain. Ryan could not control himself and when he finally had the strength to say anything he said, "Mom, I don't want to die". By this time, 3 doctors and around 7 nurses were in the room trying to figure out what the problem was. They called the transplant surgeon who drained the fluid and he rushed to the hospital (he was at home resting). When he arrived to Ryan's room everything was still in a frenzy. Dr Singh pulled on the tube and said that it may have been on a nerve. They gave Ryan some morphine that finally settled him down. Heather could hardly talk as she explained this to me. As I left them this AM to fly back to MS, I felt I was abandoning my family. I could tell Heather was trying to stay strong but she couldn't. Most of you don't know this, but I'm a very sensative guy who can break down at times; this was one of them. Heather means the world to me and I don't like to see her hurt. Her Mom and Bret flies up tomorrow so re-enforcements are on the way.
The good news is they discovered what may have caused the intermittent fever and there's no question the fluid was causing Ryan's lathargy. The poor guy was functioning on a half a lung.
I will talk to Heather in the AM and will give everyone an update. Please pray for Heather; she is exhausted.
Love, Randy
I hope that everyone has a great day today---We will be without air for most of the day as they change out systems--so I think I will go to my classroom and see what I can get organized there since I go back in 2 weeks. The trim guy should be here today and the brick layer--who we are tryign to get to lower his price since I agreed on the price when I thought the new storage room was also being bricked--will be here tomorrow. My dad is coming back today and we are pulling up the carpet in the living area. Hopefully by Friday all will be painted and the tiling will start. They think we will be finished by the end of next week--I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I need a PM on this one!!!
I think we should shout it from the roof tops that we are here for each other. No mind who's who or where you at. or what you might need. I think it all goes to show that none of us feel we can do this alone. Sure you get family and friends involved----but you have to look at them and sometimes its hard being honest with those you know so well.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE!![]()
It's like talking to yourself with someone who cares listening.
Go for it.....go for it all.....Loose weight Laught be happy eat a extra piece of birthday cake.......just keep your eye on the prize and go back to the loosing weight It might not be 50 pounds by december......but it could be 30....and won't you look and feel great??? do it DO IT
WE ALL SHOULD DO IT TOGETHER!
Why would I give anything away???![]()
