Sounds like you had a good weekend! Keep up the GREAT work, woman!

And, feel free to come up to NJ anytime. We'll throw a party for YOU! (right Jen?)

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go on weigh in Marie! You are doing a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!

Ok....a few confessions coming your way...be prepared.

First, food for the day
B-jc "cheerios" (basically that's what they are, but I forgot the name of them)
L-jc turkey burger
D-will be teriyaki salmon....(never had it before...hope it's good.)
S-jc chocolate chip bar
S- (see confession #1)
Water - 80 oz
Exercise-2 mile walk, a gazzillion ab crunches and a jillion leg lifts, plus arm weights

ok...here goes.
Confession #1 - I had a piece of fudge today. it probably had 1500 calories in it...it was a bite sized piece, and it was so frickin' good!!!

Confession #2 - DH leaves Wednesday for the second phase for a job in Alabama. ::cop: I need extra for him. He's already passed the written test portion, and on Thursday he will have to do the physical agility and fitness portion of it. He will have to run 1.5 miles in under 15:28. I believe he can do it. He has been training for the past several months for it. Last week he did it in 14:48....and today he did it in 13:50!! The physical agility part is gonna be kinda hard too. Push a car 15ft....run 50 yards, go over a 6 ft fence, run 50 yards, go through a 24 inch window, run 25 ft,go over a 15 ft long balance beam (2 inch wide), run 25 ft, haul a 165lb dummy across the finish....and this has to be done in 90 seconds. We are both nervous about this. It is something we both want...REALLY BAD. So please...any extra pd you have lying around...could ya throw it my way?
Thanks!

oh...and my b-day is thursday....so him passing this portion of the test would be the best present EVER!!...but no pressure there!

ok...have a great evening ya'll.

DH left this morning....the physical agility test is at 8:30 in the morning, then the physical fitness. He is calm....I'm sick to my stomach. He went out to eat w/ friends....I can't even stand the thought of food. He's relaxing....I've totally cleaned up the office, the kitchen, the living room, and am seriously thinking of tearing the carpet out of the office. I need a drink!!!

Ok....so I came home from work today and there is a BIG OL' bouquet of flowers on the table.....really pretty!! 3 cards too....but I'll open those tomorrow! He's always thinking ahead!!

Food today...

[CACruisin']

Congrats!!!! That is wonderful news!

From the west coast sending lots more that the interviews go well too! ::cop:

Oh, and Birthday day is definitely a no diet day - Enjoy!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Lot's of reasons to celebrate here today.....

It's YOUR birthday!!! Happy Birthday, my good friend!

........and.........

Your husband ROCKS!!!

Enjoy your day, girl!! You deserve all of this and more!

 

[lovinaz]

Wow, there are so many reasons for congratulations! B-day, DH passing his test, weight loss, look at you go!!!


Everything is falling into place for you, have you started looking at houses in AL yet??? Do the kids know that they might be moving or are you going to wait until it is 100%??

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

WOW!! I go missing for like two weeks and you have LOADS of exciting news! That'll teach me to be gone!

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!!!

WAY TO GO ON THE CONTINUED WEIGHT LOSS!!

CONGRATS ON DH PASSING HIS TESTS!!

Things seem to be going really great for you these days! I'm sure your dh will continue to do great on his interviews!! Good luck!

What part of Alabama are you going to be looking at? Like north or south, east or west?

I need you to come over to my journal and kick my butt into gear! I've been so wrapped up in all my moves that I have been terrible lately. Maybe your GAZILLION pounds of weight loss can be my inspiration!!

Btw, Kashi is my daily cereal. I really love it and then it is very filling w/ lots fiber and protein. Lately they have been offering a free half gallon of soy milk w/ 2 boxes of Kashi. I didn't use to drink soy, but I like the lite vanilla w/ the kashi. You should try it some time!

Also, I was wondering if you are still considering the breast cancer 3 day? I had let it cross my mind a while back and lately it keeps coming up more and more. It is a big commitment though. I remember you mentioning it and was just curious if it was still on your radar? If so, which one? I would be considering the Atlanta one.

K, this is your journal...I've rambled enough. (had to make up for being gone so long )

Take care and have a WONDERFUL weekend!!

 

[kmp1191]

Hey guys!!!
Amber...you have been so busy w/ your house it's no wonder the "diet" has been on the back burner. Get settled...then get your butt back in gear!!!
As far as the 3 day walk...yes, i'm still thinking about it, but with everything else going on, I don't think it would be this year. And the area of Alabama we are looking at is Hoover/Helena...just south of Birmingham. I really like it down there, and I'm really hoping that this job comes through for us. I'm not a big fan of Memphis....for MANY reasons, but I won't go into that.

Ok...so now then.....today was weigh in....keep in mind it was my birthday week, and I didn't do as much walking as I should have, and I ate a cheeseburger.

I'm only down .5 this week.....BUT.....we took measurements today.......


Bust - was 40 1/4.......current - 38 1/2 -1 3/4
Waist -was 35 1/4.......current - 30 1/4 -5
Abdomen was 43.........current - 38 1/4 -4 3/4
Hips - was 43 1/2.......current - 41 - 2 1/2
Total pounds lost 18.6
Total inches lost 13 1/2

YES, I'M IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY!!!

ok....i have to go finish some laundry , straighten up the house, then I have a wedding to shoot this afternoon.
I can't stop smiling!!!!

Ya'll have a great day, and a great weekend!!!
marie

Amy....I almost forgot to answer your question...yes, the kids know, and are very excited about it. It would be an hour from my sisters place, and they LOVE their Aunt Chel!! Thanks for the support too...I really appreaciate it.....FROM EVERYONE OF YOU GUYS!!! I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH IT IF YOU GUYS HADN'T BEEN AS SUPPORTIVE AS YOU HAVE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! ok....enuf of the mushy stuff!!

 

[lovinaz]

Wow, what an amazing difference in your measurements!!! You are doing so well, I might have to start hating you, I'm just so jealous!!!!

You are doing so great, there's such a huge difference in attitude from the "old" Marie!
