Happy Anniversary Beth!!

I had plans, but DH was TOLD he HAD to go into work 4 hours early for the Christmas Tree Lighting at the mall. I won't see DH at all tomorrow.
He made it up to me today....we went to lunch.

I was actually thinking of taking the kids down there to watch it...maybe grab a cookie with DH....I guess we'll see what happens.

It's a beautiful day!!!
I GOT BON JOVI TICKETS!!!!!

I am so excited!!! I have been a MAJOR fan since high school....even saw them back in 87 (?)...They are coming to Nashville in April AND I'M GONNA BE THERE!!!!!!!

Can ya'll tell i'm a little excited??

Ok...so back to reality...
Still no word from Memphis....but that's not gonna stop me from moving forward. My BIL is coming down tomorrow w/ a buddy of his and we're going to load the stuff from the storage unit into a uhaul and take it back up to memphis....haven't told DH this yet....he'll probably be a little ticked...but at least it'll be one less thing we'll have to think about.
oh yeah....did i tell ya i got bonjovi tickets???

Also, we got some shocking news yesterday....a guy DH worked with for several years got arrested by the FBI for trafficing sterroids. 13 years as a ::cop: and he just threw it all away!!! We are still in a state of disbelief!

have a great day, a great weekend....and a great week!!!

Marie, just as I am reading this I look up at the tv and who do I see? Jon Bon Jovi!!!!! I think it is a sign. The planets are aligning. The prophesies are fulfilled. It is time. Are you ready?????


Are you ready Marie?????




This is what I'm talkin about girl! Get some of that big hair!

 

[toystoryduo]

I GOT BON JOVI TICKETS!!!!!

Love, love, love Bon Jovi!!!! You are a lucky woman, Marie.

Hope you have a great Sunday!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

woohoooo on getting tickets!!!

hope you are having a great day!

 

[kmp1191]

Dang Linda....tell me that's not you!!!!
I graduated in 1987 and I don't think my hair ever got that big....close...but not quite!!!
So, on the topic of the 80's.....I got a phone call....my 20 year class reunion is in January!!! Right now, I'm excited about it....next week, well that might be a different story!!


talk to ya'll soon!
marie

 

[kmp1191]

ok....first of all.....WE STILL HAVEN'T HEARD A DAMN THING FROM MEMPHIS!!! My nerves are shot....i actually had a rum&coke for dinner tonight!!

Second...high school reunion in 73 days....goal....lose 20 lbs. I can do this....sweet tea-gone, cokes-gone, back to the uphill walks, and gonna have to start hitting the weights....I HAVE TO DO THIS!!!

Third...regardless of where I'm living....I have a goal for the debt we've incurred with this move. I want to have the credit cards paid off by my 40th birthday. March 8, 2009. This can be accomplished....gonna be tough, but it's doable. I'm not going to say how much it is, but it's less than $20g's. If I'm in Alabama, I'll get a part-time job somewhere, and keep racking up some overtime at work...if I'm in Memphis, I'll go back to the photography and possibly get a part time job as well. DH is talking about picking up some security jobs as well to make this goal. He knows it's gonna be a combined effort, and he's willing to do it too. I really want to go back on Jenny Craig, but I have to get the finances back in order....this is where ya'll come into the picture!! Keep me on track...I'm going to start logging my food again, and my workouts. Iknow i'm going to have alot going on in the near future, but that's not excuse not to be healthy. Help me out here guys...keep me accountable!!!

Ok...gonna call it a day....been a butt kicker!!

Hey Marie,

I am so Jealous! I tried to convince DH that tickets would be an awesome Christmas present, but he reminded me that my trainer is my present. I tried to convince him that I could get him tix for christmas, but he didn't go for it. That will be an incredible show.

Good luck with getting rid of your debt. We are working on that too.

Are you doing a low carb, low fat, low calorie plan? We need to know your goals to check out your food log.

Hi Marie! I'm new to your journal, but just wanted to say HI... Happy belated anniversary!!!!

Stacie

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

You can do it Marie!! All of it!! I'll be here to cheer you on! and get on to you when you start to slide

 

[kmp1191]

evenin' friends!
back on track....NOT!!!

Food today-
b-1 poptart
l-lean cuisine brick oven pizza
d-gonna be a slice of DH's meatloaf and veggies
cokes - 1
water-20 oz
misc-1-3 muskateer bar, 1 glass of red wine (currently)
exercise-1 mile walk w/ the dog this morning

ok....so maybe i'm not back on track, but at least logging it here makes me more aware of what i'm eating.
I don't really know what my plan of attack is....low cal/low fat/low carb....can I do all of them? Give me some tips guys....you know i'm not very good at this.
Oh, I weighed myself this morning before the walk....the scale in the gym area said 152...but I think it's wrong. I feel more like 160+. Nothing is fitting and I feel frumpy.

Again, throw your tips at me...let me know what works. I can't do JC this time...$$$...so I'm on my own.

Ok...gonna go destress for a few...I'll check back in later.

Oh....hey Stacie....welcome to my dysfunctional world!!! Enjoy my wild ride called life!!!

 

[lindalinda]

my post disappeared. I hate that.

Anyway I think that wasnt too bad a day really. Some slip-ups but not terrible.

Kudos on the debt thing. I am trying too. I have this debt calculator snowball thing. http://www.whatsthecost.com/snowball.aspx?country=us

Its pretty easy to use.


Hope you find out about memphis soon!

 

[lindalinda]

Oh, and that pic isnt me...I just googled Mall hair!

 

[toystoryduo]

Marie,

We are trying to get rid of debt too. It was so easy for us to get in debt, but so hard for us to get out. I read a book recently by David Bach called The Automatic Millionaire. It was a really good book with a lot of practical advice about money. I'm hoping to put some of his tips into practice soon.

Keep on keeping on Marie. Hope you find out about Memphis soon!

 

[MIdanceMom]

Hi Marie,

Food is not too bad. It looks like you are more of a low fat/low calorie person. As for feeling frumpy, I am betting you have some bloat going on. You anly had 20oz. of water yesterday. You'll flush more water the more you drink, water Marie. Try using a straw. I can drink alot more water, if I use a straw.

You are doing great.

Take care,
Beth

 

[kmp1191]

Let's get this out of the way first thing....
b-2 krispy cream glazed donuts
l-fried catfish poorboy coleslaw & fries
d-nothing...unless rum & diet cokes counts as food (still miserable from lunch!)
water-32 oz
cokes-1 diet w/ rum
exercise-none

no wonder i feel frumpy, i eat like crap!!!

Ok...now for some better news....DH will start back in Memphis either November 24th or December 8....we should know tomorrow....(yeah, right, I've heard that before!)
As for the debt thing...we are discussing some options.
I'm gonna check into that website and the book....thanks guys!! I'm also going to get back on the Dave Ramsey budget...it worked for me before....

Linda, I swear that would have been you!!! LOL
Beth, I'll try the straw thing tomorrow....I just really have to get back into the swing of it. I made the cokes and tea too accessible again.

Oh...the in-laws are coming to alabama for thanksgiving!! Yup...Tuesday thru Saturday!! So...this weekend I'll be cleaning and packing...anyone care to join me???

If i'm not back on in a week, send out the search party!!
Love ya'll!

Donuts! Yum!!! Sorry, but I'd love to have donut though. Hmmm...I don't recall any healthy eating plans that include donuts! Just trying to keep you track! lol!

I totally get the debt thing! It's so hard to climb out of that hole! Keep your focus and you can do it!

Hope you have a great weekend!
Stacie
