A new beginning...

Its usually pretty wintry here in Edmonton too, but this year the snow seems to have passed us by too. We got it a couple of times, but it just couldn't stay on the ground for longer than a week! Granted, I hate winters, so I didn't mind at all (though the ground looks pretty sad without any snow or grass).

I wake up thirsty as the desert most days, so I know what you mean about drinking half the days worth in the ten minutes after you wake up!
 
whoa!!! you are flying by me today....dvd, dog walk and all that water!! great job...keep it up! you'll be dropping 'em faster and faster in no time!
 
Thanks everybody!! Yep, my weigh-in IS tomorrow. I am thinkin the scale is going to sit at the same place. That's ok!! I didn't push myself too hard this week as well, the two-a-day week kinda killed me mentally, and w/ work getting me frustrated, I Just haven't had my heart in it totally this week. So I am GEEKED to start the challenge on Monday! :)

Ok somehow walking my dogs didn't quite do the trick because one of them is fussyin at me again now.. AGHH!! ;) Off to take care of him and get prepped for dinner.. lasanga.. YUM!
 
Hi NewLeaf! You are motorin' today! :D Holy Moly! LOL I hear ya about missin' some snow - SOME mind you :) Northern Vermont usually gets slammed but this year we've not had much by way of significant snowfall. It's been sooooo cold this last week ( -4 deg. F with windchill today) but only a dusting of snow :mad: If its gonna be cold, the least it can do is give it a REASON to be cold - no, being winter doesn't count!! LOL Hope you have a great rest of the day and keep up the great work. Enjoy the lasagne :D

LMAO! You're a dork! But I bet you're looking "HOT" in those size 8's!!!! Now go scrub! ;)
 
We can start a Dork Club, Dana. I'm sitting around in my pyjama pants and if I stand up, they might fall down! :eek:

Have fun cleaning those toilets, btw, you want to come do mine too? :p
 
Good episode on weight loss on Oprah!

Haha! Yes.. a dorkette club. I love it! :) You,me, Paula, & Angela (gonnabe2cute)

Uhm, sorry I just finished cleaning my house (so to speak) toliets included, and seein as I have 4 toliets:eek: in this house to clean.. no more for me!! :rolleyes: No thanks! :)

Ok so to the point of my post here, I don't know if any of you saw Oprah's episode today. So I wanted to post this link about the episode in case anyone si interested. Her trainer was on and giving tips to a lot of people on weight loss and it was really informative. Learnin things like realizing exercise is non-negotiable. Bein consistent, enjoying healthy eating, etc. So check it out if you're interested! :) http://www2.oprah.com/health/weight/slide/20060210/weight_20060210_284_101.jhtml
 
Wow, size 8! Congrats on that. I'm just dreaming of the day when I feel like the 18's are too baggy to wear. Right now they're snug enough to feel really good to unzip them at the end of the day!! I'll be truly happy at a 12. Being able to say my size doesn't end with a "teen" or a "ty" as in twenty! Good job!
 
Hey sweetie!! Ya wanna come clean mine now?? I feel like it is a losing battle over here.. no matter how hard I clean less then an hour later my dh and daughter messes it up again!! Any advice on that?? How's the weather in your pt of Va? They was calling for 5-9 inches of snow.. but now it is 6-12 :( looks like i'll be snowed in for a few day's!! Hope you have a great weekend!
 
Oh - I can't believe how messy my family is! When I lived alone, my condo was always spotless. I never knew how bad it could be. Snow??? What's that? It was 80 degrees here the past few days. Ugh!
 
So.. the snow, have not seen really much ofanythingso far this morning!! Just a small dusting. And what is coming down looks really fine, so I'm not sure what we'll get anymore. They were saying 3-6 inches, but ha!

Christina,what'd ya get that way?? :) As for the cleaning, uhm.. I don't have much advice for KEEPING it clean, since my FH and dogs mess it up right after I do it also!! AGHH! :D

April, thanks..and those 18's WILL be baggy soon enough :) Don't you worry!!

M02, ahh yep.. the family, its amazing how much dirt they can add. :) Amazing what two dogs can bring in!! ;) As for the snow.. hmm I'd take 80 right now!! lol
 
Weigh in day:
Unfortunately it says I went up 1lb! :eek: I have to admit, I haven't totally cut out the soda, and was drinking a couple glasses last night with dinner as our friends were over. It was diet, I'll give me that, but unfortunately.. I am sure it helped add on some water weight. So I don't feel I trlty GAINED any. I certainly am sure I didn't lose this week though. :) But that's ok. Got my game face on.. ;) And the challenge starts Monday, so I am sure my weigh in then will be back to 154.5 :D Anyhow..feelin really exhausted this morning, my dogs woke me up and I can't seem to fall back to sleep..so of course I'm posting ehre... at least its 7am, and it wasn't at 5am or something!!

Off to attempt a nap.. :D
 
Good mornin' NewLeaf :) You are totaly right - it IS water weight. I used to drink soda with my dinner and the scale DID go up but if I got all my water in the next day (funny how that works) and cut out that nightly soda, it went away no problem. Get some sleep and then kick butt! :D Have a great weekend and keep up the good work.
 
Good morning Dana! I'm sure it is water weight. Don't drink anything but water today and and I bet you'll see the difference when you weigh in for the challenge.
Hey, we're neck and neck though! That's so cool! We will definitely push each other into the 140's!
Well I'm off to paint the rental. Hope you have a great weekend. :D
 
Thanks Paula. I'll keep the water in mind.. uhm haven't really drank any today. AGH!! I am being so bad. And my heartburn/reflux is acting up, so I KNOW its the soda and coffee. I should be shot I am being so bad. My body is really rejecting it.
