Whoo hoo!! Congratulations everyone!!
Weigh to go, Coach Karen, you're the biggest loser!! Awesome!!
Glad the shots have started, and fingers crossed all goes well, and you are taking those steps 2 at a time pain free before you know it. The shots do not sound like much fun, but it sounds like you've seen the benefit so it's worth it. And I think as women there is so much in our heads to remember, that's partly why we don't remember some of the negative or painful stuff.Busy at work, working through lunch to make up for doc appts, trying to learn a new accounting system and my vacation is the week they implement it! But I made these plans long before, and sorry, I am out the door that week.
The shots to my knees have started. I got the first on Tuesday in my left knees, it hurt but not as bad as I remembered, and I limped for awhile but it finally felt better. But on my right knees, that was intense. I could barely walk, had to left it ease up before I left the office. The parking lot was full, had to park way far away and limp to the office. It hurt that whole day
. My office gave me a parking pass so I could park closer when I come in late like that. It still hurt Friday, so I guess my right knee is more tender than my left. She said it was due to the swelling of the joint when she puts in the fluid. Ow, ow, ow...According to DH, he said I complained of the pain last time I got these shots, I do not remember it...maybe it is like childbirth
- I remember the reward, being able to take the stairs two at a time when the treatment is finished. Four more weeks...got to keep on telling myself it is worth it. But until it really starts taking effect, I can't exercise because my knees hurt. Will have to do some upper body work for my arms and maybe crunches for my abs while waiting for my knees to start feeling better. The treatement will be done on a Thursday, and that Saturday we leave for Florida. They should be fine by then though. Now to just find a better route to work, everything is jammed up when I leave the doc office at 8:30.

I have tried to send this twice, too many smilies, then it froze. Hopefully the third time is the charm
Cleaning out the basement. I had big plans to do it in the fall, and started so we could make a play area down there, but ran out of time before Christmas, so ended up moving everything around and toward the edges, so we have our play area, but now we still have a double layer of junk around the edges. This spring we want to have another yard sale, and clean it out for good.
Hope you had a fun run on the treadmill!!Second reminder.... YIKES! How much must I have been eating to GET that overweight in the first place? I know I used to fool myself that I had a small meal, small treat, etc etc, but you don't get to nearly 220 pounds eating "small meals"!
I think this sometimes when I have one of those weeks where I'm out of control, and somehow manage a maintain. If I could just stay on track, this weight would come off so easily.
You are brave! No chocolate?? I don't eat it much, but I love it when I do!
It was hard to see the brownie cake and choc chip cookies my friend made the other night, but I'm glad I did it. In the past I've downed a few bags of dove chocolate eggs before Easter, and this is the second year I've given up chocolate, and it definitely helps keep me away from the easter candy section. Marshmallow peeps are one of ds's favorite, but I won't go crazy on them like I would on chocolate.
I managed to have a fully OP weekend, except for exercise. I'm afraid that DD's post-trip lethargy was contagious and other than some household basics, I was very lazy this weekend. But I will hit the TM hard this morning, regardless of the laundry waiting to be folded!!
You're always on the go, you should enjoy a quiet, lazy weekend once in a while. I bet you didn't miss all those drives to swimming last week.
Had a bit of a surprise on FB yesterday. Got a message that I was tagged in a photo and (well, actually DH saw it first) and found myself tagged in a photo from my high school cheerleading years. I am NOT friends with any of these girls, but discovered that since I am friends with my old HS boyfriend, he is the one that tagged me.
I am INTENTIONALLY on FB with only my married name, as I didn't NOT enjoy HS and do not have any HS friends. I have NOT FB friended anyone from HS (other than this boyfriend who found me). I don't really care to have anything to do with these folks. But perhaps I am OVERTHINKING this a bit. My first instinct was to untag myself and kindly ask this man to NOT tag me without letting me know! But who cares. It is an old photo, I look fine, I"m not compromised in any way, and these girls don't seem to care that I was tagged. And it gave me "permission" to FB stalk these girls! And one of them is a (using the term VERY loosely) "model"...... if the meaning of the word model means to have provocative photos taken of yourself (and occasionally another woman) wearing VERY LITTLE clothing in some questionable positions "modeling." All I can say is.....
It is interesting to see how old high school classmates are doing, but I did feel a little old when the first one became a grandmother.I like facebook for sharing pictures, and keeping up with people, but I don't really share too much personal stuff, well except for the pictures, I guess. I share a lot more here than anywhere elst. Intersting though when I signed up for a dating website once I used mikamah as my name, and my sil googled it, it brought you here, and that freaked me out a little, so I changed my name on the dating site, and just use the mikamah here. I'm not internet savvy, but try not to put too much on facebook.
Okay.... DH is up and moving and I hear the TM calling me ever so faintly!TTYL.....................P
Good to start planning the scrapbooks now when they are young. I'm looking forward to merging too!!Thanks for all the suggestions. I am actually going to print everything out so I can start getting organized. DSs are 8 and 5 so i thought if I did a little each year, I wouldn't get overwhelmed. I am going to look for a class and look here on the dis, also. I'm sure digital would be easier, but I need more info about it. If I do everything on the computer, how do you print it out to make the book? Or, is it all digital (you do not make an actual book but leave it on the computer to enjoy)? It's all so overwhelming lol!
Not much else going on here. I can't wait for our threads to merge since I don't have the time to keep up with Team Mickey and I'd like to see how people are doing over there. I can't believe it's March already. We have 59 actual days of school after today (but who's counting)!!
Have a good healthy day!

That's good they will require a 24 hour cancellation for adrs. hopefully they will be easier to get. I've used fastpass a little late, but never trusted that you'd be able to use them beyond the 1 hour window.
I've heard great things about Wegmans, and I thought the burlington was a definite.

Have an OP week
THank you so much, Sue for all your hard work as weighkeeper.
Glad you werent' hurt too badly. Rest up and ice that knee.Cleaning the bathroom... I absolutely HATE doing it... And my bathroom's not very big, so it really doesn't take long to do. I just don't like doing it.
But I did it today!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So I had my 'great' moment at the gym today.
I slipped...on the treadmill.
And got flung against the wall...
I'm still not quite sure how it happened. I thought I'd had stepped on something slick, but there was nothing on the treadmill so I guess I just stepped wrong. Plus I wasn't wearing the clip for the emergency stop, so I just couldn't regain my footing, fell forward on my knees and ended up hitting the wall...
Didn't hurt myself too bad though. Tried to walk it off but after about 10 minutes, I had had enough. So I'm heading to go ice my knee some more in a minute. Got a lovely bruise showing up on my knee. Nice...
But on the bright side, I made the top 10!
of 181, being overweight, no longer obese, I will buy a new pair of cowboy boots.
Hope your week goes smoothly.Good Morning Donalds
Yesterday was the first day back to school after a week off and as usual the first day just seems to fly by with complete busy work to catch up. So I never made it on to the DIS.
Congratulations to all the top losers for this past week. It is great to see thes each Tuesday morning as I start my day. Way to go coach Rememberthemagic98 for leading your week of coaching by example and taking the top spot!!!
belledreamer....I can sympathise with the treadmill incident. I have been there and done that too. Lesson learned and thankfully has not happened again. I hope the same to you as well as a speedy recovery for your knee.
Well students are about to arrive so I better go. Will do my best to get back later.
Have a great day!
Christopher
Sounds like the costumes are coming along well. I am amazed at all you do, Dona. Hope you have a good rest of the week.
Good morning and hello to everyone I've missed.
We are off today, it's a teacher workshop day, so I took the day off too, and ds is having an eeg, so we only could sleep 4 hours last night, but so far neither of us is too cranky.
We'll be in bed early tonight or maybe this afternoon we can take a nap. I got more sleep than him because I kept dozing off during the movies we watched last nigth. I'm heading out for a long walk with the dog now, and after his appt we may go to the batting cages with friends. Otherwise, I'll catch up on some laundry, and that's about it. I still have my scrapbooking stuff out, but haven't done any lately, so maybe I'll do that.
Have a great day everyone!!
It was all in fun though. When he called me in he said, "do you want to come and party with me?", and one of the cases was not very easy, so after I said, "This isn't really my type of party." Oh well, it interfered with my dis time, but the money is good.
It's made me want to go to crops because it is soooo easy! I'll try to post a digi page here so all can see what I've been up to!
But seriously, good job on the great loss!
