Have A Goal Reachin' Thursday!

:seeya:
 
YAY about the 199-ish!!! I know you were waiting to hit that again, hope you see yourself in the mid 190s soon!

LOL, ALta and I were just talking about how we vent so much here, and how I pretty much reveal stuff I don't tell ANYONE in meatspace, just because it sort of starts like, "Well, I had this to eat, and managed to work out, but I was feeling this way because THAT happened...." LOL!


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
:pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin: :pumpkin:
 
Just a drive by post here Dawn, But I miss ya :cry: Pop back in as soon as you can, hon.

:pumpkin::pumpkin: Hope you're having a good Halloween! :pumpkin::pumpkin:
 
Hi All!
Good News :hurray: .......dh called the phone company informing them of the decision to cut service and low and behold they were able to offer us a better deal! At like a $20 discount!!!
So you know we had to take that and run. LOL :biggrinjester:
So no more library for me! Ya!! Not that there is anything wrong with the library, matter of fact our library is top notch, as it just was built last year for the tune of millions of dollars.
Just it's not home and it is hard to get comfy and relaxed.
Bad News......
There is always good and bad, LOL.
I totally blew it this weekend. Didn't drink any water, didn't watch my food.....well actually I did watch it. I watched it all go right into my mouth! ha!
I didn't weigh myself this morning. In all honesty I actually forgot to, since I had to use the other bathroom. The one w/o the scale. By the time I realized I hadn't weighed in I was completely dressed and didn't feel like undoing everything just to see that what I already knew. Not good news.
I know where I went wrong. Last Thursday we had small group bible study here at the house.
First bad move, I made Brownies. :drool5: :banghead:
Second bad move, I ate said Brownies. :blush5: :banghead:
I know better than that. Cuz' once I break the sweets barrier it is like GAME ON!
And from there I play havic trying to "stop" myself from eating all the junk. And not just here at home but everywhere else too.
So once again, today is a new day.
Unfortunately this also happens to be a week where I am once again extremely busy. Which means I will HAVE to actually put forth loads of effort to make sure that I am eating right. And exercising.
~~~~~
Here is the rambly part with various thoughts that are bouncing around in my head like a pinball.
Looking forward to visiting with Kimberly tomorrow up in the Great Lakes state. Can't wait to rub that baby belly (j/k Kimberly). Maybe it will bring me some good "losing weight" vibes. hahaha
Weather here at home is beeee-u-teee-ful today. Suppose to get all the way up to 72*. Think I just might get the rest of my "flowers" (not much left in the way of flowers more like dead plants) pulled today. Since it is so warm. I hate having to do it when it is cold out. Brrrrr
Gas here is $2.10/gallon. I think it will actually go below $2.00 at this rate. I told dh if it did I was going to take a picture of the sign with my kids in the forground as I am sure that once it goes back up we will never see that price again. This way the kids can say "back when I was a kid" lol.
I have got loads of laundry that needs to be folded. Blech! I am absolutely NOT for running around in the buff, but it sure would make my life a whole lot easier! LOL Especially with 3 kids.
At least I won't have to wash any today. We have a water main break 2 houses up the road and to repair it they had to shut all the water off for the whole street.
I jokingly asked the guy if he wouldn't mind doing that so that I would have and out for the day from dishes and laundry and low and behold lookie here. LOL :smilielol5:
As we get closer and closer to the holidays we are getting busier and busier at work. Which is to be expected.
I actually counted up the other night how many turkey's we brought into the DC.
5760 TURKEY'S!!!!! In one night!!!!
That doesn't even count the ones that came in the night before or the night after. Plus the ones that we already had in-house.
Amazing!
Sunday was funny because it was biscuit and pie crust night. Not that we actually have certain nights that things come in but during the holidays we will get whole trucks of nothing but one item. So we actually had a truck with nothing but ready made pie crusts. The kind that you unfold. And another truck that was nothing but biscuits in a can. If it wasn't so much work I would find it comical. :smilielol5:
You should be there when we get nothing but a truck of butter. Smells soooo good. Just makes me think of making cookies. You know that smell you get when you are creaming the sugar and the butter together. Ymmm.
I am going to get my shoulder x-ray done today. Guess I had better get it today since I have the follow up appt with the doc on Wednesday.
I am hoping that there is nothing major wrong but I got a feeling that there is is. Last night my shoulders felt tired. I know that sounds lame but I can't really describe it any other way. I guess if you lift weights you might understand what I am saying when I say it's like the fatigue that you feel after you have lifted alot. Like you just can't lift anymore.
Also I keep getting dull pains in both of them. In fact I can no longer put my arms above my head and then bring them down to my sides in one smooth motion. I have to rotate the arms forward when I get to about shoulder level since I can feel them "catching". And I don't want them to pop. Because then it really hurts.
Soooo I just got off the phone with Kimberly. Sounds like we are going to have very nice visit. I will of course let you all know how it goes.
Well I guess I should get doing some other stuff, so will chat at all of you later.
Ciao!
 
Brownies are soooo good :drooling: I wouldn't worry too much about one weekend, as you know already, if you're prudent for the next few days you can un-do the damage, no problems.

Congrats on the phone service deal! You are Budgetier Queen!!! :eek2:

Hope the shoulder X ray goes well, have a goal-reachin' week! (Stacy's motto is very good indeed)

You know the really sad thing is that I actually contemplated buying them at the store earlier in the week and actually made the wise choice to say NO! But when faced with a quick dash into the store I grabbed them, baked 'em and ate them before I could talk myself outta them. hahaha
Fuuny how when you threaten to cut off the gravy train lots of companies suddenly have a better deal ????
Just goes to prove how much everyone is getting overcharged for things 'cuz they never ask or think to be assertive.
Thanks for the well wishes with the shoulders. I really want them to be back to normal. It is just driving me nuts that I can't workout like I was before.
Have a Goal Reachin' Week yourself! LOL And yes that Stacy is one motivating girl!

Think about when I use to actually orderfill these stupid birds. Those boxes weigh 65# a piece!!! Lifting them up over my head and pushing them onto a pallet that is stacked higher than I am tall is most likely what messed up my shoulders to begin with. I mean I am only 5'4" for crying out loud! Those pallets would easily get taller than my arms stretched all the way up! GEEZ!!!
Dumb Birds!!!! LOL
 
No kidding!!! :( Lifting is rough because the mind sort of goes on auto pilot, and mind=body consciousness sort of dissipates. I have to FORCE myself to stop whatever I'm doing and breathe and do cat/cow back stretches and twists in between so I won't screw anything up.

I'm paranoid. Too many people close to me have herniated disks, and my (paternal) gramps has degenerative arthritis in his shoulder.
 
Yeah it is pretty scary how many of the people there have to have knee surgery and shouder surgery.
For alot of the people they are really trapped in the $ thing. So the faster they work the more they make. But usually when you are moving faster your not doing it in a proper form. Not that much of anything there is set up to be "proper" form. Lots of twisting/bending going on.
I hope I don't arthritis in my shoulders. That would suck........I am only 36.
 
Glad ta see a lot of Goal Reachin' 'round here! ;) :D

Say it real 'hick like' and it works even better! :smilielol5:

I hope you don't have it either Dawn!!
I have RA in every joint/area of my body now and I'm 35..
It does suck!

*Hang in there gurl!*

Take things One day at a Time!

You'll reach those goals!

:party:

<3 Ya!
 
Hey there! I went to the Indian restaurant's website and their weekday lunch buffet is only $7.95--so that is very reasonable. If you want to try it--I'm totally up for Indian tomorrow. :D

Well you couldn't have eaten too many of them because when I went back to get another one they were all gone!

I was bad on Sun. I haven't had any donuts for quite some time - at least a year or two - especially from church. Well Mr. Cman got a donut with lemon filling in it and didn't want it, I was like well give it here. Because he asked dh and dh had already eaten 2! My goodness. It was very sickly sweet, but I ate every bite of it! ;)

Have fun tomorrow. Too bad I can't skip work. Dh said it would send Mr. Cman the wrong idea about work/school.

Anyway, I've got enough to keep me busy with school and then off to vote. I just hope not everyone is at my poling place at 4 in the afternoon.
 
Just got done writing the letter to my birthdaughter.
I plan to drop it off tomorrow when I am visiting with Kimberly. Turned into a novel of sorts. I hope that she likes it.
Good Night y'all!
 
Just wanted to let ya know I had a great time with ya yesterday. I told David about going to Amish Acres around Christmas and he seemed interested.
 
Man it seems like it is either feast or famine around here in regards to my getting on here and updating. LOL
This last week was really really busy.
Had a great time vistin' with Kimberly. We ate lots and lots of Indian food. The first time I have ever had something ethnic that wasn't Mexican or Chinese. LOL
Walked for about an hour checking out all these really cool looking houses. And I got to see her condo. Very Nice. Her and hubby are doing lots and lots of hard work to get it up to par.
Dropped off the letter/novel for my birthdaughter. So now I just get to sort of sit and wait to see what happens.
I am still below 200. YEHAW!
Could be a bit lower if I would of had the time to get to the Zumba classes last week. But with all the running here and there and lack of sleep it just wasn't going to happen.
Hubby came home last night with Cheesecake and Sparklin grape juice. (I got the night off due to low volume at work). Guess you can figure where my evening ended :biggrinjester:.
Well that is about it for now. I really want to go spend some time with my children.
So chat at ya'll later.
