I'm a journal junkie...I admit it!

great tag fairy line....(hint hint.....)

thanks all for the cute son comments...he is a cutie!!
today was SUPER BUSY!!! i actually worked at work...wow, what a concept! don't want to do that too often, they might start to expect it!
i'm trying to think of what i DIDN"T eat today.....
b-sara lee brown sugar cinnamon toast
s-none
l-pimento cheese on wheat sandwich - i don't really like pimento cheese....but everyone down here does...i don't get it....they don't eat that stuff up north, but down here they bring it like once a week....strange.
s-1 cadbury egg
d-carrots & dip
(wow, that's pathetic....i eat like crap all day and have veggies for dinner! i'm such a dumb(@)$$!)
water intake - 48 oz, 20 oz of mountain dew live wire orange (thus the sugar rush from earlier....oops)
exercise- 2 mile walk w/ dh...he was being grumpy so I cut it short.
i'm going to go in the morning and start my run/walk again....i've got to build back up to straight running. i've taken too much time off now. I've got an excersize challenge to beat!!!

later taters......i've got to find a different sign-off....that one's just dumb....
it would be cute if they had a tater tot smilie, but i don't think they'd do one just for me.....(would they??)

oh oh oh....i forgot to tell you.....or maybe i did and forgot....
I was outside w/ one of the girls at work yesterday..R...and she looks at me and kinda laughs....then she says...."i think it's time for you to color your hair...your gray is showing!" WTH!!! I don't have gray!!!! (not to mention how incredibly rude that was, but what do you expect??) anyway, i went to the bathroom and sure enough....i plucked that sucker out...and it's WHITE!!!
i'm keeping it...gonna make a scrapbook page out of it!!! (there were a couple more up there, but figured i would just keep the one...)
just thought i'd share that with you.....i found my first gray hair....kinda like getting you period (sorry guys)...it's another milestone in your life..a depressing one, but a milestone nonetheless.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

just stopping by to say hi! im trying to catch up on journals tonight! have a great weekend!

 

[CACruisin']

Yes, I'm a journal junkie too!

How could that woman say that? Unbelievable the number of tacky people in the world! Too funny about scrapbooking it! You should show her the page. Yes, the first gray hair is a milestone. Think of it as a badge that was hard earned. Now, if we coulld just keep the grays from multiplying like rabbits we'd be on to something. I think preadolscent girls may be a contributing factor im my case.

At least you ended the day with veggies and a walk. That means you ended the day in the right direction. I'm joining you on the May Challenge! Go Marie! Go Marie! Go Marie!

Thank you for your comments in my journal. They make my day. Have a great weekend and good luck at the Dr's on Monday.

UH OH.....anyone else hear what happens when you pull out a gray hair???

....hello, calling Ms. Clairol.......

And thanks for the shameless plug to the almighty tag fairy!

I think R needs to be smacked around a little. Tell her to go suck on some pork rinds!

I found a white hair and I couldn't believe it. I'm in my mid-30's for cryin' out loud! Oh well, I guess it's part of the territory, huh? Like a badge of honor...

I fully expect you to make your exercise goal! You are gonna wear Bob out!

Don't you love that Sara Lee bread? Have you tried Blueberry Crumble yet?

 

[Jane E.]

Great pic of your son! They keep you busy at that age. I miss those days!

Save some pimento cheese for me. I love the stuff - the reason you don't see it in my thread is because I quit buying it because of the high fat grams count. When my cousin came to visit me a few years ago the first thing she did was grab my pimento cheese - said she hadn't seen it in years! ...but you have to eat it on white bread - its just not the same on ww.

Good Morning BB's!!
Yesterday was fun.....I guess.....
b-Special K w/ red berries - (gotta love those dehydrated strawberries!)
l-roast beef sandwich w/ 5 chips
s-snickerdoodle cookie w/ sm coke (went shopping)
d-2 buffalo chicken tenders
water intake-48 oz, & 10 oz coke
exercise - 2 1/2 mile walk w/ dh yesterday morning - I wanted to do the 3 miles, but my back was hurting so bad I wanted to cry!

A friend of mine called and came over for a while yesterday....then while the kids were playing she & I went to the mall. (DH hates it when I do that...leave him w/ the kids...but they were good so he didn't stay mad for long). I wanted to find some shirts, but everything is made so short!! All I want to do is find some polo's that are comfy, cute and cover my tummy!! why is that so impossible!!?? Anyway, we went to the GAP and I bought a long off white skirt....i thought it was really cool, but dh doesn't like it....he says it's too long, apperantly anything that covers your @$$ is too long!!
i thought the skirt (linen blend) w/ a brown funky, beaded shirt and sandles would be really cute...i'm gonna go to the mall again today and look around...we ran out of time yesterday. plus the skirt is a 10 and it fit really good!! we'll see.
oh, i also colored my hair. went lighter...kinda sandy brown, then i highlighted it w/ a lighter blonde....i think it looks kinda strawberry blonde, dh thinks it looks sandy blonde.....anywway, it's not orange, and i don't see any gray, so i'm happy!! I also started tanning yesterday....i figure it will be quicker than trying to lay out on my sporadic days off when it usually rains!!
so, i'm on the right path for starting may off to looking and feeling better!!
hopefully i'll stay on the right path!!
have a great day and i'll talk to ya'll soon!!

 

[CACruisin']

Snickerdoodles are DD12's favorite cookie! Sounds like a good day -- so awesome that the skirt is a 10 and it fits!! Take care of your back though. LOL on the haircolor. I'm not sure I'd recognize my own haircolor anymore, it has been so long since I started "giving GOD a little help" in that department. You are definitely headed into a great May!

Love your new tag too!!!

 

[lovinaz]

Congrats on the Size 10 skirt! And way to go getting that walk in. I'm sorry to hear your back is hurting. I hope that feels better soon!

I laid out yesterday (on my nice big float in the pool). I only did 1/2 hour on each side and I got a little pink! I never used to burn at all - it really blows getting older... Luckily it doesn't hurt and will be brown by tomorrow. I'm with you - I look much better with a tan!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hey Marie! Sorry I've been away so long! I couldn't believe I was like 4 pages behind on your journal!

I'm proud of you for getting back to work on your exercise routine! You are going to be off to a great start for May! You have a pretty big goal to meet also! You can do it!

I hope everything goes well w/ your son's appointment tomorrow! I'm sure everything will work out ok!

I agree that I love to come back to my journal and find encouraging words and kind thoughts! It really helps me to keep working at this. I have never worked on weight loss for this long before and I know that it has a lot to do w/ having you guys around to keep me motivated!

Have a good night!

 

[kmp1191]

Hi Marie,

Congrats on the new tag and the new size 10 skirt! What a great way to start the week!

Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

 

[lovinaz]

I hope all goes well at the Dr.

Yes, you better get moving in May! There is NO EXCUSE for not making your goal! NONE! There, did that scare you into Bob's arms?

Why does walking hurt your back? Do you need some new walking shoes? I know I need new shoes when I start getting weird aches and pains after running on the treadmill.

I jerk chicken! We just had jerk salmon last night. YUMMY!

 

[kmp1191]

Good Morning All....happy Monday if you will.
Dr. this morning was ok....took over 2 hours, but i feel good about it so far, i guess. They took x-rays and a bone scan of his back, hips and legs, and we have to go next Monday (5/8/06) to have an ultrasound done on his Kidneys and an MRI done on his right leg. His right leg is 1 1/2 inches longer than his left, and 3-4 cm wider. He is ordering the ultrasound on his kidneys to determine if there is anything going on w/ his adrenal glands that could be causing a growth discrepancy. The MRI is because DS has a birthmark on his leg, looks like a handprint almost, that goes around his calf. ( I used to tease that it was where I would hold him upside down to put his shoes on him...almost looks like a bruise, but it's not). The dr. said that sometimes a birthmark can cause vasular problems...(increased or decreased bloodflow in the area), and that could be causing the growth plate in the right leg to be working overtime. He will have a 3 cm lift in his shoe for the time being, until the dr. determines the cause of the growth difference.

Well, that's all I know for now.....I guess we'll know more next week.
Thanks for all the well wishes and PD....I really appreciate it....and thanks for not letting me wig out too badly too. I'm a mom....it's my job.

i'll update the weigh in later.

Glad the Dr appointment went well and here's more for next week's appointment.

Happy May Day!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Marie. I'm glad you were able to get so much info out of your appointment this morning. I hope that has helped ease your mind a bit. I'll continue the prayers through next week when you go back. You take care of yourself (you need a shooter? ).

Love the tag! Somehow it fits....

Great job on the exercise this weekend...you really got MOVING!

 

[kmp1191]

(you need a shooter? ).

YES

 

[kimwim8]

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad the appointment went ok. Better to know the problem and correct it now than to wait. Hang in there. I'll be praying that things continue to go well.

Have a GREAT week! You're doing AWESOME!

 

[lindalinda]

Ok, I am like 5 pages behind on your journal and I dont have time tonite to read it all. So hopefully everything is going ok and your DS is doing okay and your DD is over her strep throat and the mean people at work are choking on their donuts.

OT, but would it be totally lame of me to ask advice on buying a camera? Not your fancy type stuff but thought you might know a good one.
