In search of my body...not the one I ate!

[AKASnowWhite]

Well, shock of all shocks....I am a samer this week. Again. I guess last week's loss was my quota for the quarter.

Now..off to the taxes...what a gross day...no weight loss and I will have to pay a but-load of money.

Oh yeah...and we are having another snowstorm...6" today. bleh.

Bummer of a day!

Yesterday the weather forecast showed us getting 3-6" of snow/ice mess, but now they are saying mostly rain for us It's a nasty day here, but I'm so done with snow for a while I'm a "samer" as well...

I had a hard time focusing on my workout today too much going on in my life - I've taken on too many things all at the same time!

So with all the crazy chaos going on, and the complaining I've felt like doing (I completely brought this all on myself - I just can't say "no" when someone asks for help! ) my friend last night says "well, could be worse. You could be pregnant!" kinda put things in perspective for me!

Good morning ladies!!! My weight this morning was 218.8! Which means if you count the fact that I was 223 last friday during my absense since I gained from cheating, I am down 4.2 lbs this week!!!! Hot dog!! I also realized yesterday I'm just over a third down with my weight loss goal!!! I'm so stoked!!! I hope everyone is having a good day and I'm not even going to comment about the pineapple situation we have going on here. LOL!

Ok,, I am back and I am taking back all of my bad news from this morning (well, except the weather...it really is foul out!).

First...I was so stressed about the tax appt. that I literally got sick to my stomach. I totally internalize stress. As unpleasant as that was, I am OCD enough that I got back on the scale and it now registers a loss of 1.2

I don't care if it is not real....toady is weigh-in day and the scale said I was down 1.2 so I am claiming it. Deal with it!

The big news is that the tax situation is going to work out JUST FINE! We basically broke even, which is a huge thrill (since last year we owed a TON and we were expecting to this year as well. After last year's fiasco, we made a bunch of changes and we were worried that it wouldn't be enough, but sure enough, those changes did the trick and now we don't owe! )

Busy afternoon with the kids, so I won't be around too much...but I will check in later this afternoon/evening.

Love you guys--thanks for the support!

And SG/Liz--just got your card today! Thank you SO much. It is a beautiful one and very meaningful as well!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Ok, now that I am done being so self-absorbed, I can respond to everyone else....

On another note I am starting the YMCA (now that song will be stuck in my head) today. My headache is a little less today, I sure would love a diet pop, but I must be strong... I am setting a goal of working out 4 days a week, no excuses. I am up 1 pound this week ( Sorry Dawn ), but on the other hand I am still down 15.5 pounds, so I am happy, but do not want to see the needle inch up anymore.

Great job committing to going to the Y Jodi! I am sure you will see lots of results from going 4x/week! Report back and let us know what you are doing for a work-out. Some of us are bit obsessive when it comes to exercise....

Kat, you, my ornery friend, are GUILTY by ASSOCIATION.


AGREED!


Dawn, you are Killing Me!


I know...that one got me, too!

Tell him you want to go to Disney first....

Oh, it's coming...but first I will have to go the pineapple juice route...afterwards he is bound to say yes to anything!

Bummer of a day!

Oh. My. God. Nancy is having exercising issues....now I've seen everything.

Holy crap! I'll say so! I love my kids and I even really loved being pregnant....but you are SO SO SO right...that puts everything in perspective!

Glad that your tax appt went well... sorry you got sick though!

I think I post my gainer status. Whee. First gain since Feb 2 though, so I guess that is something to hold on to, and it was only a lb.

I confided in a coworker today about my home situation (which a few of you know about), and I feel much better about things. I have a plan in place and I think that ultimately this will make me a happier person. I do have a lot of tough times immediately ahead, though, so I am glad that I have my off and online friends to help me through it.

YIKES! That is perspective. I never, NEVER want to be pregnant again. It's not the pregnancy, I like that part, it's the ending. Those little buggers need taken care of 24/7!

Glad about the taxes. And you had saved money to boot!

Thanks! I am just glad it is over. I am SO drinking my points/calories tonight, though!

OMG, you never post a gain, so don't worry about it. You are amazing!

Yup...here for you 100% no matter what. Vent, whine, complain all you need....we'll listen!

AMEN! The thought of going back to diapers?!?!?

Did I mention that I am drinking heavily tonight?!?!

 

[MaMabearJo]

Dawn & I in Disney last April

My Son Zachary 20 goes to college at UW Stout

Sara in Ft. Myer's

Hanna Ft. Myer's

Lyle and I Dec 2007

I finally found a way to put picture on it was not easy, but here is my gang plus one beautiful blonde.

 

[MaMabearJo]

Now I am mad that took me a long time. I hate this computer sometimes....

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

OK, it's been 3 hours since anyone posted. Everybody got a hot date tonight or what? (Oh, yeah, it's probably the tips Dawn's handing out like penny candy.) 3DK's got a tap for Pineapple Juice now.

I don't have anything to report, so somebody better post something witty or amusing. K?

I am off to dinner. Were gonna head up to the big city (Columbus) for some Reeeeed Robin. MMMMMMMMMM.

Are you jelous? (Then I'll get to bat the free balloon out of my face the whole way home.)

Allrighty then. I'll quit rambling. See you tomorrow.

 

[DisneyWorld Delight]

Now I am mad that took me a long time. I hate this computer sometimes....

Sorry Jodi. That did take along time. Try it again, puleeeeze. I wanna see the pics.

I don't know what went wrong. I don't see an http:// right after the

 

[3DisneyKids]

I am here, DWD! I am just doing a quick drive-by right now....but once the kids are in bed, I am gonna need someone to play with! I will be half in the bag by then....hmmm....guess that means I'll have to go find Kat! She has been my drinking buddy lately!

I am only on my first rum and diet....:drink:

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Hi! just checking in! We've had some problems with our wireless router, so I haven't been around as much today.

Guess what? I DID lose! Whoo-hoo! Of course, then I promptly ate the cheese and bread Ms. Jealous brought over. Damn, it was good! And she told me she doesn't fit in her clothes and needs to lose weight! And then she said we should go shopping for me tomorrow since my clothes are too big for me! Wow. I guess she's coming around.

Clothes swap - who wants some size 18's? I've got 'em! I'd love some size 14's if anyone has them!

See you all tomorrow!

 

[3DisneyKids]

Happy Saturday all! Quick drive-by for me...I will not be on too much this week-end.

Just got these posts from one of the leaders of my racing team and I thought I would pass it along....good stuff!

Every year about this time when spring is peeking at us through the rain and in some places still snow, but the promise of warmer weather is here, I post this thought.

Today is officially the first day of the rest of your life. The past is done and can't be changed so it's time to put the past to bed and get on with the living. The second chance you wished you had to do things differently is here.

Starting today, cold turkey, you can begin the journey to the new stronger faster leaner and healthier you.

Starting today you can begin eating like you should.

Today, call those friends and family members you have been thinking about calling.

Make peace with that person in the office, or family member, you have been mad at for way to long, offer your hand in peace and forgiveness, and mean it.

Go to your mirror TODAY and tell that beautiful person looking back at you that you are worth the effort.

Today you can choose to be happy, or you can choose to be unhappy, choose wisely, you have to live with your choice.

Decide what is keeping you from being happy and change it.

You have to decide what you need to make the rest of your life they way you want it.

Look at the days of the week….

Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday

There is no "Someday" in the week, so if you have been waiting for it, stop, it is disguised as today.

We can spend our lives waiting for the right time, when the right time was there all the time.

We all have battles to fight everyday, not the least one is just to make it through each day without screaming. We have family, errands, chores, work.... the demands on our time often seems endless.

But the truth is we can be a better person all around if we are healthier and stronger. Our energy level is higher and we can accomplish more in less time and not be worn out after.

Don't beat yourself up for what you have already done. Today is the day. YOUR day. Make the most of it.

There's a good inspiration for ya. Thanks for sharing 3DK.

CHBC - kinda quiet these days. Or did you already know about pineapple juice too?

Pixie - hope your rockin' the reunion.

I got a new camera last night. So, hopefully my next pictures will look better.

and speaking of pictures:
3DK - I'm waiting on bonus room pics
Goof - I'm waiiting on zebra pumps and then and now pictures I think you promised about 5 weeks ago...

Today I taught my 4/(5 in 2 days) year old how to hide in the house from Jahova's Witnesses.

All for now. The sun is shining into my house and magnifing all the dirt/crumbs/and dust bunnies, so I'm cleaning.

Pixie - hope your rockin' the reunion.

Ah Thanks!!!! The reunion is next Sat, but my friend took my shopping yesterday to Chico's. If you have never been there GO! The clothes fit women, not stick women but real boroque women I love the clothes I got, spent more than I should have but I feel great in them!

So I forgot to post, but my weight stayed the same. The evil Ester bunny was at our house and I have tried hard not to partake of any of the chocolatly goodness that is still here. I am still working on that, but my powers wain at times.

Off to get ready for a kids gymnastics party and to clean my house - oh the fun of weekends!

And here I thought it was this weekend and you were sweating the details. Next weekend then.

I have house pics somewhere on my computer (so you can see the taps) but I can't find them. And I can't go take new ones b/c we are remodeling all of the bathrooms in the house right now, so the bonus room is just heaped with junk. I don't even know if I could SEE the taps right now! Fortunately, this is the room above our garage and so it doesn't really interfere with the main part of the house...but that just means it turns into the dumping grounds for the rest of the house. As DH says....it is where furniture goes to die!

However, spring is here, the bathrooms are getting done, so we will be cleaning it within the next few weeks. Until then, I will try to find the other pics that I know I have! Grrrr....
