No news on the job, it is posted as open until position is filled. I have been so blessed by letters of recommendations from my peers. It has been heartwarming. Admin. buddies thought the application letter was great and the resume' as well. Pray I get an interview and am offered the job. I'm going to want lots of input from all of you on interviewing. Weight loss is at 125.
tone and cardio emphasis now. Pain level is high and I am on lots of meds. and I don't like to be on meds.
Hard time functioning, yet at peace. Going through a strange time. I will be fine. Hopefully wearing a "I don't give a rats a$$" soon. It has a rat and a donkey on it. I just love that saying sometimes. Thank you for asking what is up, and I apologize for not being here. I haven't even lurked.

So how is everyone doing? Exercise!, Meal Plans!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Welcome back, Heather! Good to hear from you! Will keep my fingers crossed for you on the new job!

125!!!! Holy crap! That is my goal weight...and for the life of me, I can't get these last 12 pounds off. I have just WAY upped my exercise, so we'll see if that works.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Was she saying that's what she weighed or what she has lost?

Either way, I'm GREEN!!!

 

[chbc]

Welcome back, Heather! Give us an update on what is going on with you!

Termination is looming. I've never been fired, but I'll bounce back. I don't know if I told you my husbands reaction back in March when I got a letter from he Superintendent about termination and Cev said firing(sp?) you is like firing Mary Poppins. It was sweet.

Proud of your runs and class you are taking-way to represent!!

I often would find myself not commenting, because you and I are many times so similar. You've said it for me. We held off on a video game for 10 years. A Santa gift. star wars lego, sports,mario-thats it and very limited. Beau is a reader. Catie is always drawing and creating. And yes playing outside!! Lady Bugs, weeding, picking flowers, running. They are gym rats too. Kiddos are just now starting the webkinz. Board games, legos!!, Lincoln Logs, Mr. Potato Heads from WDW!! Reading, lots of reading!

Tell us about your polar watch.

Thanks for checking in with me E. . I've missed everyone
Hugs,
Heather

use your watch, work in your fat burning zone and you'll get there. Erika- you are fit and toned . relax, breathe and burn that fat. Fuel you body well. berries, nannas, veggies. Water!!

She currently weighs 125! And she and were about the same way back when. 'Course, I am still stuck at 138...and she took it off! Oh well. Such is life on the plateau. (Actually, I haven't weighed in like 3 weeks...just can't handle the disappointment right now.)

Erika- You So Totally Rock!! Think about your muscle, inches lost. My scale is probably off. You are a runner, an athlete. Way to go!! step on that scale, it is a number and our waist measurements and body fat is what matters. you've got muscle E.

I have a great book that I read after or before there may be power outages about video games. It is called Charlie McButton, read it Seuss style. It is available at the scholastic book fairs and book stores.

First, This is going to be all jumbled. Skip it if you want. I love the prom pictures! Sara is gorgeous and I love the dress, Treyner looked amazing, too. But does he ever take a bad picture? Glad they had a good time. The recital picture is too cute. I miss those days! Congrats on the weight losses and awesome commitment to working out. And I wish I was with Kat at Disney- that is my goal: to one day go to Disney World, relax if I want, instead of the usual up at rope drop, fast and furious until they close the park.
My boys didn't have video games until they were 10 and 12. They survived, but guess what they are doing as we speak? Playing Wii. They now own every game system, bought with their own money. They have also been bike riding today and will probably swim later, so maybe it helped? It is very hot today!
Now for the bad news. I joined La Fitness 2 weeks ago, I've been 3 times.....but I did walk all over Vegas. I weighed today for the first time in a long while. 174... I typed it, it's in print. I hate it! I think I was 173 last year at this time. My goal is about 130
I went to the store and bought good choices and snacks for the kids that I don't like. I'll be doing WW and the gym. Today is a new beginning!

We have never gambled with real money before, only at parties where they give you thousands to play. I played the penny machines. I came out ahead 17.55. Yes, I am a big spender.
My Dh won't say, but he wasn't mad, so I'm assuming he did OK and doesn't want to share! The Bellagio fountains were amazing. We stayed at the Flamingo. It was very nice, updated. Our view was amazing. My DD had a great 21st birthday celebration. (and we survived a vacation with my mom, sister and aunt, without any major breakdowns. Good thing it was a short trip!)
Have a great evening, Vicki

Ok, Vicki, I am going to be honest with you. This whole, "I read more than I post" might be working for you, but, it's not working for me.

I enjoy everything you have to say. Keep it coming!

And what kind of parties are you going to, where they give you thousands to play?

Good job with the "number" purge. Got one monkey off your back, saying it outloud. Now for the next monkey.

That is sweet.

 

[chbc]

Vicki- I'm with DWD, keep posting. Way to put the number in print. It will be nice to look back next year and see that you met your goal and feel great.

Sorry, play money, but you can "bid" on good prizes with it. Company parties, Christmas, safety awards, any reason they can think of- my DH works for UPS and they know how to throw parties! We aren't big drinkers, so you can win big if eveyone is else is busy drinking!

Thats HI LAR IOUS!!!!

 

[goofyfan-12]

Just posting my exercise for the day...gotta keep accountable to Goof!

50 minute hard core workout class with trainer...about half of the workout was core
15 minutes additional core at home

And that will likely be it for today. I'd like to get something else in, but I have to be on campus tonight, so at best I might get a DVD workout in later tonight, but it is not likely.

I am watching... I had my golf lesson tonight (hit them very well tonight - even my instructor was impressed...) I am off to change so that I can get my 4 mile walking tape in....

Erika - I'll consider us even for tonight since you had your boot camp workout with the boys today...

Termination is looming. I've never been fired, but I'll bounce back. I don't know if I told you my husbands reaction back in March when I got a letter from he Superintendent about termination and Cev said firing(sp?) you is like firing Mary Poppins. It was sweet.

Heather - so glad you are back with us. This place isn't the same when everyone is not around.... I am sorry to hear that stress is taking over at work, but stay strong... you will get through this. I am sending hugs , good thoughts and pixie dust ixiedust: your way...

Good luck -
Goof

 

[believen]

Goof, I read your post, grabbed the leash and Roxy (Corgi) and walked! Probably not 4 miles, but a good walk.
Thanks,
Vicki

Have a good night...

Just popping in for a quick hi...I am half way through a very long night!

My workout with the boys went well, though I was dogging it in some sections (we all do). But I still kicked a$$ in the running...he had us sprinting today and I totally killed 'em! That felt great. But I am SO paying for it now! I had just gotten rid of the IT band pain and now I am hurting again!

I need to run tomorrow, so I really hope it goes away overnight.

On the positive side, I got my very own boxing gloves today, so that will be fun! I will have to take pics of me in my boxing gear to post. I am sure you will all get a righteous laugh!

Paula--4 miles! Good for you! I had no idea that you had advanced that far!

SO glad to see people posting again who we haven't seen in a while!

And that leads me to...KIM!!!! Where are you??? Enough already with the whole working hard thing! Come on out and play!

And also...LIZ! No more lurking and then one-sentence posts! Did you go to the gym today? Do you still have food cravings due to TOM?

Nancy--thinking about you...hang in there!

Dawn and Jodi--haven't heard much out of either of you other than prom was good. And Jodi...I just noticed your ticker!!!! I had no idea you had lost that much already! WOO HOO! Keep going girl, and you will be in Onederland before you know it!

I jumped in and started on my four mile tapes. When I stopped before, I was up to three so this seemed like the logical next step. This tape has some interval training on it with 3 minutes of fast walking followed by 2 minutes of what they call boosted walking. You can do the low impact power walking (which I do) or jog in place. It reminds me of what the early parts of the couch to 5k plan are. I am still not jogging due to my knees, but the power walking adds a new dimensions to the workout. They repeat the intervals five times....

Talk to you all in the morning,

This isn't the cutest picture of her. She is really regal looking when she walks. She is the most high maintanance dog. This is my first picture to post! I'll get a better picture later. My DD helped and was in a hurry, so we went with the first one she saw.
I have tons of pictures and now I know how to post! Y'all may be sorry!
