Does anyone else want Amy's week-end????
Um, drinking, followed by some drinking, followed by lounging by the pool while drinking...
I have plans to do my power sculpt dvd and some form of cardio today when I get home from work... Tomorrow I'd like to go on a hike since the weather is cool tomorrow... We'll see if DH gets up tho... I have a great 100 calorie per serving cookbook (everything is 100 calories or less per serving) so I am making breakfast and dinner from it. We are going to have banana shakes for breakfast, subway for lunch, seared scallops for dinner, and oat buns for snacks and dessert. I am really looking forward to it I hope everyone is doing well 
No one hates you! We all fall off the wagon... The whole month of May and half of April I was no where near the wagon... lol... You will be back on when YOU are ready...
Ok, I am giving myself a goddess crown today. I need one, k?
I didn't do a 10-mile run, but dammit, I got out there and did it and today that is a victory for me. I did 4 miles, then a complete leg workout, followed by a complete core workout for 90 minutes of exercise.
E, you definately get a goddess crown. (But I think you have one permanently, ya freakshow.)
I LOVE that you have this super secret competition. I am ultra competitive (in case you haven't picked up on that
No matter how many times I want to have a scowl on my face when I am around them, I refuse to have anything less than a grin. If they think I am hurting, then they win. And I am very competitive.I might even blog about that entire situation sometime.

Good Morning all! I hope everyones week is going well... I had 2 sales yesterday which is a nice change of pace... Been working out hard this week... had a gain today from yesterday which is odd... no cheating but I think I am at that weight point where muscle gain will start reflecting in my weight... So we'll see... I've been using Biggest Loser:Cardio Max and Biggest Loser: Power Sculpt for the past 2 days and boy am I sore... The night before last hub did the sweetest thing! I told him I needed new free weights for my Power Sculpt dvd since the 7 lbers were too heavy... Well he came home with a dozen roses, 2 lbers, 3 lbers, and 5 lbers for me
WELCOME BACK, Steph!
We want all the details about the new house! And no claiming thread bankruptcy! Oh no, missy...you go back and read all of those pages that you missed!
Amen! That's right Steph. Go back. Now.
I am having a GREAT day! Which is really good b/c it has been a while since I have had one.
EriKa, I'm so glad.Small victory, no make that HUGE. I am down .2 lbs, which means that the 4lbs that has been on and off is GONE and the 6 week dance of lose and gain is OVER. Bye, bye weight! I am down 75lbs for good, forever! Two weeks in a row losing! Whoo-whee!
3lbs more to meet the challenge!
Only 12 to go and I am at goal!
So - anyone want to try and help me explain my 3 pound OVERNIGHT weight change?yeah. UP not down
Not sure what I ate yesterday that would cause such a freakish reaction by my body....but it's tickin' me off!
Time to run before I go to work....
Hey everyone!
1 pound LOSS to report here.Finally. I really hope this is the beginning of the drop off my plateau. The last time I hit a plateau I dropped 5-6 pounds in 2 days all of a sudden. I am hoping that will happen this time too.
Off to catch up! Later everyone!
OMG I had a whole post written and it just disappeared brought me back to the Dis home page! Lets see if I can remember what I wrote.
UM house BIgger and smaller in weird ways. More rooms but rooms are smaller.
Kitchen Bigger but not enough cabinet space or counter tops. The Kitchen has 5 windows so I have two whole walls that are just windows. So I have stuffed stored in the basement ( there are built ins down there).
Bedrooms I have now 4 instead of three. BUT ( yes there is always a BUT) the rooms are half the size my old bedroom was 18x24 and my closet was 18 feet long and about 3 feet deep NEW closet is about 3 feet wide and about 20 inches deep. Hangers just fit! New bedroom is about 10x12??? I am not good at figuring square footage.
Old HOUSES DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH OUTLETS!! I have three in my bedroom sounds good but I have one on a short wall and then two right above each other one is almost to the ceiling! We will be fixing this as we re do each room.
My mom came over and helped on friday and saturday!(she owed me right?)
She helped iron and put up my curtains and she even bought me some new ones. Not used to having neighbors so close needed some crochet half curtains to put so she bought those.
Good. Glad things are on the mend. Mama's are important.
So over all I do really LOVE my house just some things that need to be fixed. But Hey it is an old house we did expect things like this. I think
As for everything else Sam is doing wonderfully in school I am so glad she stayed back and she is now getting her self confidence back. No bad reports home only good one!
Tyler is doing great in school but his asthma and Eczema are flared up! Doc wants us to go see a specialist in Saranac lake (paula we could have done lunch if you were there) This specialist is a pediatric allergist.
Zac's teacher LOVES him to bits this year a big change from last year. Last year I always got negative comments from the teacher every week on weekly reports and this year total opposite! All good remarks, all good grade except in math I thought boys excelled in math??
HE was helping stephen mow the lawn on Saturday and ran over a bee's nest. He got 6 stings. Four up his pant leg and two across his hand. He didn't swell or anything but then his sugar went sky high! they were in the 200-300 for two days. Now he is back to normal.
Nathan (my step son) helped us move he stayed the whole week almost. I think he like having his own room! He is coming tonight too and I guess staying till saturday or something like that! I don't mind anymore I used to hate it when he came it caused disruption in MY schedule but now he is older and takes care of his own things like shots and breakfast and everything else I just wake him up and tell him to get in the shower and Heck I am already up! So it is no BIG deal anymore!
Ok I NEED TO GO UNPACK
see this is why I didn't plug in the computer!!!!
Hey team....would you believe that this is my first post of the day??? I am in the weeds, I tell ya!
No, I can't! lol.
LYZ--I am in total withdrawal without your posts! Aren't you due back today???
Yes, but not until midnight. Thanks for missing me.
AS FOR ME....aside from being in the weeds, life is good. I am in a better place, have had 5, count 'em 5 perfect days of food and exercise both, and catch this....
For the challenge, I am down TWO POUNDS! (total....not just this week, I mean, this is ME after all!
I have to work all night, but I will be on and reading! Missed you guys all day.
I am still going to try and beat her 5K PR though.
... I worked out everyday this week!!! My challenge loss is now 4.4 lbs total... I'm at 188.8 today
Thank GOD! What took ya so long?
I'm such a witch. I said, "thanks, but we aren't staying here." Walk of shame.
I had to get "something" for the girls. At the airport last night, I got them a sucker shaped like a steer. And some Texas pens, that upon testing this morning, so even write. Oh well.Like that is an excuse....

So, I went to Texas to put some final touches on the project there.
I did something I'm alittle ashamed of.
We got into Plano, (Hey Believen, I thought of you) to an area with multiple hotels. Hubs says "lets stay at Motel 6, it's only $50."
Ok, $50 is a great price, but that is probably indicative of the state of affairs at that hotel.
I, being the snob I am, said, ummm, I don't wanna.
He says, it's not a big deal.
I am agast.
He pulls up.
I threw out the ultimatium. "If we get in there and it's filthy with matted carpet and spooge on the walls, I am leaving."
He said, go in and look at a room.
I said, "I can't do that!"
Guess what. I did. I asked the clerk if I could "see" a room. It was disgusting. I wish I had taken a picture. The floors were all wood laminate (odd, but probably a good idea). The room was "non smoking", even had a sign, but it reeked and had an ashtray on the vanity. The bedspread had to have come from a yard sale (in the 80's, it was "swatch watch" cool) and was askew. The shower was, blech.
I decided, no go. But then I had to go tell the clerk.
We ended up staying at La Quinta. Good compromise don't you think. Very clean and oh so Mexicano sheik. And I didn't bring home any bedbugs.
We ate so much food this trip. He had lots of places to take me. And they all were good.
Erika, we went to Texas de Brazil. (you know what I'm talking about, but I know you'd never go there.) It was so good. O.M.G. Kat, you'd LOVE, L.O.V.E. it. It's an all you can eat meat orgy. The servers come to your table with spears of meat and just keep bringing it. You have a little sign, green means, "bring it", red means, "I'm good." Every kind of meat.
Anyway, all we did was work, eat and sleep. I didn't even get to shop.
I'm home and back in rotation. Oh, and strangely enough, I didn't gain a lb. Probably cause I was working and usually my butt is planted at my desk. That helped offset all the food.
Ultimatly that means, I am a challenge loser. Again.

Speak for yourself.
Sorry. I was profiling wasn't I.
