Whew.....whata weekend!!!
So....saturday was laundry, laundry, laundry!!! Then a wedding. The wedding was good....everything went very smooth!! Sunday was good too!! Got up...did some more laundry, and then got the kids outside and we did yard work!!! I used the hedge clippers (manual!!) and trimed the shrubs while the kids pulled the weeds/grass from the flower bed! They actually had fun doing it!! No fighting or arguing! After that, the kids went in the backyard and played on the trampoline. Good, fun, busy weekend!
Today I had a few chores for the kids to do....(spring break) while the sitter was here....and get this.....THEY DID THEM!!! DD had to dust all the furniture in the house, and feed and water the cat....and she did it without arguing!! DS had to vaccuum/sweep, and take out the garbage. I called to check in, and he was having issues w/ the vaccuum....told him how to fix it, and all was good after that. So...I came home to a clean house....(except for laundry of course!!)
DH left around noon today for Alabama for the first interview. I'm confident everything will go well tomorrow. I think there will be at least 3 interviews before anything is offered....and I have no idea how long the whole process will take. That's ok because I'm a patient person.

Ok....so today was exhausting! Work was non-stop! I came home....DD went to the neighbors for a sleepover....DS is chilling out in my room reading/watching tv.....the dog is asleep in the chair.....and DH is in AL..... and yes....I'm relaxing!!

Food today...(I don't remember the weekend...but I know I stayed on the plan)
B-jc blueberry muffin
L-jc stuffed chicken sandwich
S-jc brownie
D-jc fajitas
Water-60 oz
exercise-none....unless propping your feet up on the table counts.
TOM hit today.... ....just thought you'd like to know.

ok....talke to you later!!

Sounds like a crazy weekend. Great job getting those kids to do chores. When you're done with them, come on up & work on mine.

Great job, as always with JC. You're doing so good staying on plan. Good luck to DH on the interview.

Average loads of laundry....I'd say 10/week?? That's about where we're at. It's rediculous!!

 

[kmp1191]

I'll be glad when Lisa gets back from surgery! I'm exhausted!! Work is really kicking my butt! It will be at least another month before she is back....I hope I make it!
Well, DH had his interview today. He said it went very well. Pretty basic as far as ::cop: interviews go. I don't know when we'll hear anything....it's a hurry up and wait game.
TOM is kicking my butt too....

Ok....so food today...
B- weight watchers blueberry muffin....funny taste...but ok
L- jc broccoli & cheese baked potato
S- jc chocolate caramel peanut butter bar
D- jc rising crust pizza
water-60 oz
exercise-none....yes, i know....it's been a few days....i'll get back into it, i promise!

ok...i'm going to pay some bills and go to bed.
nite ya'll!

Hey Marie! A belated Happy Birthday to you! I have been MIA for a couple of weeks, I am so behind on everything! Congrats on moving to Alabama, whe will it be? My cousin lives in Hoover.

You are doing fabulous on your diet and exercise! Your clothes must be falling off! I am so jealous! Shopping time!

(my birthday is next week!) I am old tho. We have never celebrated my birthday my whole life, even as a kid. Know why? Because its during the NCAA tournament! Sometime in april my parents will remember they forgot it!

nite!

 

[kmp1191]

Hey linda.....that is where we are talking about moving too....Hoover! We went down there last August and I fell in love with the area!!! It is beautiful...the mountains, the trees...all of it!! It was so clean!! Hopefully this will all come through for us...I really don't want to raise my kids in Memphis.
Anyway...that's all i know for now....I don't know how long the whole process will take....and that's the frustrating part.

Ok....so today was hectic, as usual! Food was good....still no exercise. I think with DH's training the past few months/weeks, we both kinda wanted/needed a break.

food -
b-jc cranberry almond cereal
s-1 oz string cheese
l-jc pizza
s-jc peanut butter caramel bar
d-jc penne pasta, and i steamed some brocolli,cauliflower,& carrots...really good!
water-60 oz
exercise-none



I think DS is going to have a friend sleep over tomorrow night....he's been really good lately....just have to make a phone call.

ok......gonna watch tv and fold some laundry.....you know....the never ending pile!!
I think i'm going to have a drink....it's either that or an ice cream float!!

nite

I really should be doing laundry tonight, but I'm just beat & fried (with a side of miserable) . Not really, but I am tired.

 

[kmp1191]

ok...just got back from weigh in.....lost another pound....actually, between the .here, and the . there...it's about 2 pounds from the last 2 weeks....does that make sense? this week i'm at 149.0!!!
I'm out of the 150's

ok....so yesterday sucked....food wise! I ate NOTHING ON PLAN!! it was really bad, and i'm paying for it today...literally! I am so sick to my stomach it's not even funny! I was nauseaus all night, and now my head is killing me!! I know why too....It's not that I didn't eat on plan...it's that I ate alot of high fat stuff, and I'm not used to that anymore. I really screwed up yesterday, and there was no reason for it at all! We had a breakfast meeting at work and I ate a ham biscut....then a little later I had an apple danish...then around lunch I had a chocolate chip cookie....a big one. That's all I ate yesterday...and I really want to hurl!!! Water was only at 40 oz, and again....no exercise. I had a last minute photo shoot last night, so that put me home later. Anyway, I'm back on track today...nausea/headache and all...and I will be walking tonight....and every night this week if it kills me!!!
I'm 9 pounds from my goal. There's no reason to drag this out any more! Even if DH is working, I have the "gym" in the garage...treadmill, tv...the works...NO EXCUSES THIS WEEK!!!

ok.....i'm going to do my taxes now...then laundry...then I told the kids we'd go to a move this afternoon.
have a great day/weekend.
later!
marie

 

[kimwim8]

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I am SO SO SO proud of you!!! 9 pounds left???? That's AWESOME!! You know what you gotta do, so do it!!!

 

[kmp1191]

Thanks kim! How was the skating party??? Hope you and the girls had fun!!

Ok...so I already told you all what i ate yesterday....I still don't know if that is what had my stomach so messed up, or if I had/have a touch of the flu. I got real dizzy, freezing cold w/ the shakes, and my head was literally pounding! After I posted this morning I took 3 tylenol and curled up in my big chair. My DD put the blanket over me and I slept for 2 hours! After I got up my stomach was still woozy, but I was ok otherwise. Did a little bit of laundry, then DH and I took the kids to a movie. Night At the Museum w/ Ben Stiller....EXCELLENT MOVIE!! I really liked it! Very family friendly in my opinoin. DH and the kids had popcorn and M&M's. I had a few sips of Coke, but that was it.

Food today -
B-Kashi Crunch....really good stuff....even though I only ate about 5 bites of it.
L-jc turkey burger....not settling well....but i'm on plan!!
S- few sips of coke
D- is supposed to be jc meatloaf w/ bbq sauce....think i'm gonnna skip dinner....stomach is still icky...

DH is working again tonight.....11 pm - 9 am. I hate it when he does these shifts. Anyway, supposed to get my hair done tomorrow around noon...we'll see what the tummy does....and kim....i think hot pink is a good choice...we'll see how it turns out!!

nite ya'll
marie

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady. Sounds like the flu to me. YUCK! I hope you're feeling better today.

Don't worry about the mileage challenge. You'll get back to it. Focus on getting back on the JC plan and it'll all come together for ya. (it's time for me to take my own advice)

Have a GREAT week, girl.

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Congratulations!! 9 pounds from goal!! You'll be there in NO TIME!!

You are doing awesome at staying on your plan!! And see... One day off plan gives you the flu That'll keep you on plan! Hope you're feeling better today!

Good luck on the move, I've still got my fingers crossed for you!

Have a Great week!!

 

[goldcupmom]

Hope you're feeling better, Marie.

Night at the Museum comes out at the end of the month - I can't wait! It is GREAT!


Have a good week this next week!

Happy Sunday!!
Well, last night was rough!! DH worked, and I don't sleep well when he works nights...go figure...Anyway, I finally fell asleep around 1:30 ish....(that's the last time I looked at the clock) and I woke back up at 2:50. Something made a "click" noise...when I opened my eyes, the room was PITCH BLACK!! Like...scarey black!! The power had gone out and none of the clocks were working. Anyway, I got my cell phone and checked the time, and called DH. Apperantly some drunk hit 2 power poles about a mile up the road. Needless to say...even though it was darker than mud in the room...I was wide awake!! Oh, and the power company has been working on it all day...our power/cable has been off and on all afternoon. So, needless to say...I'm a little tired today...BUT the stomach is better...and no shakes. Little headache this morning, but that was from lack of sleep.

Ok...so I went to a friends house (she's a hairdresser) and she did my hair today. It's an auburnish brownish w/ blonde (ish) highlights. I think I like it. It's been forever since I've had highlights, so they'll have to grow on me. My "wonderful" DH said it reminded him of those creme savors...(strawberry & cream lifesaver things...pink & white swirls)....smarta$$~!!!
Anyway...like I said....I have to get used to it.

Ok....what else.... food today....
B-jc sunshine sandwich
L-skipped it...just not hungry...
D-going to be jc meatloaf...not in the mood for it, but it's on the plan.
water-40 oz so far...
exercise - 2 mile walk w/ dh....see, i told you i'd get back out there!!

ok...gonna go eat...i'll "talk" to ya'll later!!
Have a great evening!
marie

 

[kimwim8]

I'm glad you're feelin' better! Damn drunk drivers.

Nice job getting out there for a walk (update your counter, you're in the double digits!!)

Send me a pic of the hair, girl!! Inquiring minds want to know!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Congratulations Marie! You are so close to your goal! You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!

Have a great week!
