Now Trixie is NOT a furry princess, that is her problem, she has so little hair that she has NOTHING to keep her warm on cold mornings except the bed!
so she is your little naked, princess...poor girl! When I left the house today, Ellie, the younger of my 2 beasts, was huddled in a corner downstairs hiding from the wind. She refused to go outside so I expect a gift when I get home. She really is an embarassment to her kind. This is the same animal that hides in a closet when the sprinkler is on because she thinks it is going to storm.
Just incase it was a figment of my imagination or if I was temporarily (I don't think I spelled that right) invaded by some alien, I tried it again. And guess what? I did it again. This is so invigorating. I can see me running down the road over here in the spring. All the runners run on it. Running peacefully.
I can also see a 5K in my future. I wasn't believing myself before. Trust me, a 250+ woman running isn't pretty. But I have so much hope.
Woot Woot everyone!
I am very happy for you!! You are doing so well!! I see a 5K in your future as well.
to you!! It is too bad you aren't closer, I could use a running buddy come this spring when I move from the treadmill to the outdoors.
Morning all. Sorry I haven't been around much. It's year end here which means my staff is working like crazy. We have over 5000 w2-s to process by the end of this week and so far 32 are done and verified! Plus all of the other stuff that goes with year end. It's just been slam, slam, slam here and I'm either at work or sleeping right now--no time for fun.
I hope the insanity is over for you soon. I know I don't envy our poor HR personnel this time of year. Don't forget to take care of yourself.
Hey, there, friends!
I told you that yesterday morning I was down 5 pounds overnight, right? Well this morning, I was down another 2.5 pounds!! Man, I must have retained a lot of water while I was PMSing last week! (Remember when I gained the two pounds for Friday's weigh in?). But whatever, I'll take it!
You are kicking butt and taking names!!! 7.5 lbs!!! That is amazing! WTG!
Unfortunately, I got some bad news yesterday. My dad, who I mention had cancer, passed away yesterday. I also mentioned our interesting relationship i.e. the fact that he was not around a lot and we were not like most father/daughter relationships. But things had gotten better and we at least made the effort to call or have lunch when he was in town. The services are still TBA at the moment and I will probably be the last to know since to them I am apparently the low man on the totem pole. I stayed home from work today just because I need to be alone, and think, and be sad. Anyway, I wanted to let you all know because Peep prayers are so wonderful, and I would love to have some sent my way because I will need it to get through the next few days or so. Thanks everyone!
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. You are certainly in my thoughts and prayers today
I just got some bad news about my DF(iance,) this morning. He is having heart problems again.
Wow, I am so sorry to hear that. IT truly is amazing what they are able to do for heart patience now. My dad just had a quadruple bypass in October and is already walking 2 miles a day and strenght training 3x a week. Keep us posted.
fly by. got to go eat dinner then get some work done.
i got a second job today at longhorn steakhouse. not my idea of a dream job, but it's familiar territory since i was a server from the time i was 17 to 25. i just need some extra money.....we've been so dead at work lately and my february is looking scary right now. so i'm just working 2-3 shifts on the weekends. shouldn't be too bad....i think. am i crazy?????
Maybe a little crazy
. I worked retail for too many years and I do not think I would have it in me to deal with the public anymore. But, you are probably a much nicer person than I

On Biggest Loser, my new favorite-Favorite is Brittney (used to be blue team).
She rocked in the challenge.
Ooops, commercial's over, gotta run!
She is my favorite too. I felt so bad for her at the weigh-in when she was talking about feeling rejected by Bob. I say good ridance to Jenn though.
They said it's gonna freeze over tonight.
Scary if you have to drive on nothing but ice.
I'm talking pouring like buckets.
Aren't you expecting a blizzard as well? We have the crazy wind here today and it is supposed to get cold but no snow. possibly some ice Friday morning...
My crappy company doesn't give us snow days we have to ither come in or lose leave.
picture this, peeps. i was at court today and had to go to the ladies room. it's pretty early in the morning and the cleaning ladies had just cleaned the restroom. so i go in and go into a stall, pull down my pants and start to sit down....then i realize at the last second that the toilet seat is up, so i reach outwards to catch myself before i fall into the cold water. as i'm doing this, i TOTALLY SLICED my right arm on the side of the trash can!!!! i mean, as in there was a flap of skin hanging off of it. i know.......TMI! but i cut it on the trash can........ewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!! as soon as i finished my business i went to the sheriff's office and asked them for some hydrogen peroxide and a bandaid. i've been putting the hydrogen peroxide on it all day and then neosporin, then a band aid. and i've run through 4 bandaids today because it keeps bleeding through.
gross! anyway, i hope it's not infected. it doesn't hurt.....just looks gross.
i shot some videos for expotv today (which i'll probably post tomorrow) and in the review of my refrigerator you can see the ginormous bandage i have on my arm....it's sooooooo attractive!
Ok, the germaphobe in me just cringed...
Woman, you are a danger to yourself...falling, running into walls, trashcan attacks...I think you need to wear a helmet
I have been up for about 2 hours. Joshua decided not to sleep last night and then when he was asleep Rebekah was up---so today is going to be a LONG day. I feel horrible and I think Joshua does to. I am going to toake some Tylenol cold day stuff and maybe that will help.
Have a good one.
Sometimes the lack of sleep can be physically painful. I hope you and Joshua are feeling better soon.
Hey Peeps!
I have some catching up to do on this thread!
How great is this season of the biggest loser????!!!!!! I think its the best season so far
i'm so glad they got rid of that girl Jenn from the purple team! She deserved to go! I was sick of hearing her whine and complain all the time
I am in complete agreement on both points.
Well peeps, there is a new show that I love and think many of us here could take notes while watching. It is called "How to look Good Naked". It isn't what ithe title makes it out to be. It is actually about women you hate some part of their body, be it their weight or some specific body part, and are not living life to its fullest because of it. Through a one week journey they learn to think a bit differently about themselves and significantly improve their self-esteem. I cried through most of the first episode because I could really relate to the woman. If you have On Demand through your cable service you can catch it there too. It is an eye opener. Here is the link for more info:

to all the peeps that aren't feeling well right now!!!!!
I have a friend that lives in WI too and she was saying that she enjoys it, but once she realizes that she still has about 2 more months of iceburg weather to go, she begins to hate it..i can see why! Today is actually pretty darn mild in MA..about 44 when i left the house, feels like spring 
i am in the process of getting my teeth fixed 
so i know after that i will be able to cope a lil better. I am going to try to pop on every day 2x's a day
BLAHHHHH
it! Its presented by a man called Gok Wan, who just LOVES natural women of all shapes and sizes! He really boosts their self-esteem. I agree, the extreme makeover and plastic surgery programmes have become too 'normal' to see, I like this program because it makes you realize that you dont need to crash-diet to feel good about yourself, hes all about the healthy eating and exercise!
i'm sure you'll be FINE!
