A/C? Did he give in?

It's hot here too. Not going down at night at all.

Don't miss the pollution but Toronto is good when things get like this b/c they keep the pools open until midnight.

Good morning all!
Normally, I'd be surprised at myself for waking up the thread...but not today. Starting working at 6 am this morning. Oh the joys of going to school and working full time!

WW weigh in yesterday....gained. AGAIN. I'm getting really sick of yo-yoing, so this week I'm going to try to really kick my exercise into high gear and substitute walking with something a little more intense twice this week. We'll see how that works out.

Hope everyone has a fabulous day! I will try and find some time after class tonight to go through and read and respond to everyone.

 

[toledo13]

Happy Tuesday everyone!! Make it a good day today!!

Good Morning,

I am dragging @ss this morning. I had a gang from my company at my office yesterday for a tour and then it was off to dinner at a great restaurant in Albany. I think that was one of the best dinners I have had in a very long time. By far, the best carmelized / roasted onions I have ever had period. I was good and didn't eat too much. Finally made it to the gym at 9:00 to get my 40 minute cardio interval workout in on the bike, but it was an effort to get the last ten minutes in. Finally made it home and promptly crashed.

I am off to JC tonight so we will see what the damages are from the weekend festivities and last night's dinner are. My goal was to stay the same this week and I am confident that I have done that. Then it is off to the gym for some weight lifting with Jesse. Haven't touched a weight since last Wednesday so my ability to move tomorrow should be an interesting and painful experience. Gotta love it.

Hope this heat goes away soon. I am so over it.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

 

[adsrtw]

Hey everybody! Haven't read a lick since Sunday. Hopefully, I will catch up within the next 1/2 before I have to leave for work.

I hope everybody is doing well, or at least just hanging in there.

 

[AKASnowWhite]

A/C? Did he give in?

Yes, thankfully! It was just too darned hot here - and his office is just miserable without it....so it's on right now!

Sounds like a plan, Cathie. And make sure you're getting enough water. It really does make a big difference

I'm sure JC will be fine...and strength training with Jesse? Good luck with that. Here's hoping he's not in a mega "squat" mood!


Hope this heat goes away soon. I am so over it.

me and you both.

Thank God the man came to his senses!!!!! Holy crap Batman.

Lyz - have you been hearing about your girl being on American Idol?

Kelly - know that you're in my thoughts constantly.

Thank you Lisa

Im off work now until the end of August, so tomorrow I am going for some retail therapy with my mum, then the doctors on Thursday. I tell you, Thursday cannot come soon enough

I hope everyone is well

 

[lisaviolet]

I tell you, Thursday cannot come soon enough

I guess so Kelly.

Hope you both have fun tomorrow.

 

[goofyfan-12]

Nancy - glad you won the AC battle. It has been brutal here the past few days... Jesse was still on his squat kick, but instead of using the really heavy dumbells, we used the machine that I call the torture chamber. Made it through my warm up set and then he loaded on the weight. I was lucky to get nine reps done before I had to stop. The man is seriously trying to kill me. I am convinced of that.

Kelly - have fun tomorrow. Retail therapy is a great distraction.

Hi Lisa... missed you around here.

JC report - lost a pound and am freaking jumping up and down because I am so happy... I am .4 pounds away from changing the banner in my signature. whoo hoo!!!!

Question, was home early tonight and while flipping throuh the channels stumbled upon More to Love on Fox. Not entirely sure how I feel about this show (think the Bachelor, but all of the girls and the guy are plus sized). I can so relate to the issues that these girls have about dating, but am not entirely sure I trust that guy. Has anyone else seen it?

the waiting is the hardest part (yes, Lisa...I'm singing...). But truly it is. I'll be thinking of you.

Awesome Paula. So wonderful! I'm willing to bet that next week you'll have a new clippie!

I haven't seen the show, so no comment from me...


Dawn - how's it goin'? Adjusting to life with 2 teens?


I'm a big ole mush mess right now. Seth leaves tomorrow. I'm not ready. Physically or mentally. bah. I *am* however very ready to find a new, structured routine for my life. Food, exercise, water. I'm so ready....

 

[Dizneydawn]

Hi guys - I need to post today a bit later.

Some big issues with Baylor's injury and the insurance companies - not fun and involving hiring an attorney.

Nancy - thinking of you. Baylor is gone this week in Colorado so it is very quiet around here. Too quiet.

camp?


m-kay. Time to get myself packed! 4 day mini-vacation in Vermont! woot!

 

[Dizneydawn]

Oh yes - weight. It's a miracle they don't throw us off WISH. But then again "handprint on my heart" - which is absolutely the truth here - is pretty good for our mental health - now isn't it?

Don't give them any ideas! LisaV - you crack me up!

Back from our whirlwind road trip. Will get caught up here and then respond to all!

Hiope to hear from you soon!

Hey Guys,

I need to ask if you wonderful people will throw some good thoughts my way

Thinking of you and praying for good, healing news!

Dawn - How is Treyner doing at altitude? I hope no news is good news.
He is better - just trying to wait and find out if he will be red shirted - played or what. This a whole new world of no guarantees and we are both anxious and not used to being in this seat.
I've started trip planning for January. I know there's a meet at Pop Century. Do WISHers meet at other times, too? DGF went to WDW once with her high school orchestra. She remembers it being very clean. I have been to WDW over 20 times as an adult. I've stayed at lots of Disney hotels, but never the Poly. I'd love to stay there for the convenience of race morning. I should be able to walk to the TTC and take the monorail to Epcot, right? I cannot wait to share WDW with DGF. She's not a theme park fan and doesn't ride roller coasters, but she's excited for me.
Sounds like a great time! Excited for you!

I wanted to join WW this week - need to wait probably for Sept. Not happy myself...

camp?

Yes - Burn camp for kids only from all over the US and Canada.
m-kay. Time to get myself packed! 4 day mini-vacation in Vermont! woot!

I will be thinking of you hon...


I am stressed out. More than I can even describe actually.

To top off all this cr@p with Baylor and the insurance companies - my Dad is comming back on Sept 22nd. Homeless. He is not moving in here - he has chose this life, but my sister is not strongh enough to give him tough love and she is not handling this well. I love her and am worried if I don't help her she will crack. Which means helping my dad. Which I do not want to do.

So I told her if she agreed to go to family counsiling with me and work on boundaries and what to take accountability for in regards to my dad - I would help her find him a place. Most likely a long term stay hotel. This will not be pretty.

His new wife is still not given approval to move here. The only reason he is comming back is he would have been threatened with prison in the Phillipines for stayiong past his "Visa" date. He needs a job and a place to live to get her here so maybe this will actually motivate him to do anything with his life. I can only pray.

Hope the rest of you are having a better week.

Congrats on the pound Paula. And can't wait to see the new banner.

MTL - seems kind of too good to be true - personality wise/heart wise to me. Hmmmm.

So - listen - I'm off to WDW and NYC. And almost bursting.

I know - WTH?

Well, I scored a $5 a point DVC rental - so staying in an AKV one bedroom for almost nada. Three nights. Sunday to Wednesday. I'd love to see you Amy but I read on facebook that you're starting on Monday. Would love to hear how you're doing with everything.

We were going to do a studio for five days so this find gets us back early. What to do? What to do?

Hmmm. Ask Jean. She's never been to NYC - So drive to NYC. In fact, I begged the girl to go for years on end - so when she said "I wanna go!" I was pissed that it took this long but I am thrilled. to return.

Pricelined and got a Manhattan hotel for a low price. Downtown though - wanted midtown but "name your own price" kept saying "no no no" Lisa so had to extend my boundaries. And lucky anyway.

So I would love visitors!!!!! Any and all. Hey Erika - how bout about a quick trip to your brothers if you don't have appointments of course. Nancy - how far are you in Connecticut? Paula - a day trip? Yes, I know I'm asking a lot. (Liz would love to take you out to lunch/dinner - something - I will email you). Any last minute flights for anyone?

As for Canadian Thanksgiving. I'm afraid to book that flight again. But will see.

Okay - I'm in the area from the 27th. But in Manhattan from the 28-31. Probably eating salmon from a can but there!!!!!!!

Ok - help me out - which day and which month for AKL and NYC? Are you saying this month? Did you find the $5 posting on the rent thread! What a deal!

 

[amykab]

LisaV--I wish this week was next week! I have tons of free time this week with Little D at preschool!

So, our long weekend at disney was fantastic. of course! Absolutely Loved SSR. Delena started preschool yesterday. Aside from some tears from both of us at drop off, she is doing great so far.

I have been spending the past couple days organizing and purging crap from the house. Time for another garage sale. I will probably do some shopping tomorrow. I've ordered scrubs for work, so no need for clothes shopping but will probably go wander around IKEA for a bit.

I've been running and walking like crazy. I just need to get the snacking under control and I will be good to go!

When I ramble I make no sense. Sorry Dawn.

Yes, next week. AKV - Sunday to Wednesday. NYC - Friday to Monday Manhattan but will be in the NYC area on Thursday.

Yes, I found it on the rent thread. We had put away some moulah from the condo sale to do free dining this year but never got around to booking it. And then got a PIN but still couldn't seem to bite the bullet. And then thought - hmmm seeing some threads with expiring points. And you know I've renting out some of my points and was always sensitive to the vulnerability of renting. It is something to be on the other end. Really.
