Hi there! Yep - that was quite a statement I made about the gremlin. *sigh*
It looks like you're doing great! I think your tummy has shrunk - you eat so little - there's no other way you wouldn't be hungry.
Thanks for all the great info! I am definitely getting the hang of it and my motivation for working out has taken a whole new meaning since I discovered activity points - lol!
 
Hi ever'one :D Well, another long day, but better overall! I worked late and hubby got the kids for me- then it was the "get dinner while helping with homework" after I walked in the door :rolleyes: At least the mood is good all around today. That makes it a little easier to be bustin' my butt around the house after work.

Peanutty Buddy, My alarm is set for 530 but (are you ready for this?) I think my body clock has adjusted to the time change... I got up at 445 this morning!!! LOL Man, even when I think I can sleep I can't sleep!!!! Oh well, a little quiet time before my day turns upside down is good :D I think our hubby's are as intune with each other as we are!!!! LOL I mean really, what would possess them both to be in moods at the same time???? LOL Yup, PMS in a mens way is right!!! LOL

Angela!!! Don't surprise me like that!! I almost fell over!!!! :D Glad ta see ya!

Kate, its funny, one of our CB friends JUST said something like "a woman ain't no good if she don't have the food ready when you walk in the door" - yut. I gave him a piece of my mind right then and there! LOL This family is lucky to get dinner when I am as tired as I have been lately! Nevermind as soon as I walk in the door from WORK!!! *sigh*

Bailey, NORMALLY he isn't this.... um... unoccupied :p :D He gets this way when he gets in his "manic" moods - then its usually a few days before anything changes. This time it only lasted about a day and a half (tomorrow isn't here yet) so if I cross my fingers, maybe it'll stay gone :D

Laurel, I WISH my tummy shrunk!!!! LOL I am HOPING it shrinks soon!!! :D I really don't eat a lot, and never have, if I am busy - its the keeping busy with tasks that interest me thats difficult :rolleyes:


Well, food for the day:

turkey bologna sandwich on light wheat w/ cheese, dry (6)

turkey bologna sand. on light wheat w/ cheese, miracle whip -hvy on bol. (8)

FF yogurt (2)

3 turkey franks (6)
2 slice light wheat bread (1)
4 oz skim milk (1)


total points:24
total water: 32 oz but working on more as we speak

okay, don't panic if I'm not back tonight - have to help with two big school projects that are due tomorrow :rolleyes: They have had a WEEK and just told me monday!!!!! Grrrrr!!!!
 
Oh, don't you just love it when they do that? I think kids love to wait until the last minute on those big projects. I think it is going to be even worse next year. My daughter just joined GT and they do projects, and, get this, we were told our oldest son qualified to do pre-advancement placement english next year so that he can take AP courses later on. They have to do a summer reading thing and have a lot of weekly assignments and projects they have to do if they are in it. They told us how he should be in it at the same time as telling us that he has bad grades this nine weeks because he doesn't turn in his work! :rolleyes: Oh yeah! Let's run to sign him up for more! :rolleyes:

Boy, you sure do like that turkey stuff, don't ya? Lol! :D

By the way, I sent ya a PM! :p
 
LMAO!!! Nutty Buddy, the boys even "forgot" to tell me about another project last week so I knew nothing about it until I went for my meeting at the school and was told they never handed it in. Well,gee, it was never handed in b/c I never even knew about it!!!! Guess what they are gonna make up this weekend :eek: As for the "turkey stuff", well, LOL I really like hotdogs and bologna but they damage the point way too badly to even consider the regular versions ( bacon too :rolleyes: ). I just experimented until I found a lighter point version that I liked - the "meatless" hot dogs were the worst!!! I like meatless/ soy product but those were GROSS!!!! LOL I ate 1 1/2 b/c I was really hungry that night, but I threw out the rest of the package!!!:rolleyes: An example: reg. bologna = 4 pts per slice while my Louis Rich Turkey Bologna is 1 pt per slice - so I can have more than one on my sandwich and enjoy the not-so-greasy feel :D LOL I'm such a cheat! LOL Now that I have been with turkey products so long, I get to feelin' kinda sick from the regular ones :rolleyes: Go figure! LOL I got your PM:p :D hehehehe


Well, get this Nutty Buddy. My alarm went off this morning ..... AND I HIT SNOOZE TWICE!!!!! I had stayed up so late "helping" with the projects, not to mention its been a LONG last few days at work due to Easter rush, that I was totally EXHAUSTED when I went to bed last night. I dont even remember hubby coming to bed and he said he went in about 10 minutes after I did and talked with me a bit!!!! I didn't get up until almost 6!!! Thats cuttin' it really close to fit in my "me"/ "quiet" time! LOL THAT would be a long day if I didn't get in this time!!!!

I think I caught your cold, Nuthead ;) I have been sneezing so hard it hurts (hey, I hit my head on the shower wall this morning!!) and all stuffy lately... maybe thats why I seem to be way too tired... Can't call in 'cause the Easter Bunny needs his creations (not to mention can't afford it right now)..... Oh well, pop my vitamins and an extra C and get in the soup all day - well, most of it....

Gotta run off to see some o' ya. I KNOW there are some I haven't gotten to all week and I apologize :( Isn't from lack of wantin' ta - Lack of time / space right now. WILL get to you soon though :D
 
Oh - I am dreading homework in general. My older daughter is so lazy! That's a terrible thing to say, but it's the only way to put it. Unless she's interested, she does nothing. Ugh! I think all homework should be banned - by the time my kids are in school.
Well, good luck on those projects!
 
"a woman ain't no good if she don't have the food ready when you walk in the door"

MOFO, this aint no RESTAURANT< but i can be ready for one in about five minutes!! tis my reply...sounds like my daddy...mamma now tells him where to stick it after us kids left, and they eat out a LOT!:D
 
Hey Nutty Buddy! I don't blame you for eating the turkey kind. Lol! The bologna I eat, even though I don't eat it often, is light. I don't know how many points it is though. I'll have to look it up. I can't believe you actually slept past your alarm! That's a first! Lol! :D Sorry I sent you my cold. :eek: Didn't mean to be sending those vibes to ya. :p
 
Back again! hehehe

MO2, I have two "lazy" ones and it REALLY sucks!!! LOL Well, they aren't necessarily lazy, they just aren't able to focus on what they are doing. Most of the time spent on homework is spent trying to keep them focused :rolleyes: The projects. They both came out pretty good but I won't be surprised if they don't get top marks - what can you expect when you spend one night on a week and a half project, ya know? I really don't think it would be that bad IF the lower grades had prepared the kids for being upstairs with the older kids. Oh well, live and learn :D

Kate, I'll have to keep that reply in mind for sure!!! LOL I love it! :D Daddy always helped Mama with dinner on nights he was sober, the rest of the time I did it so I am used to being the cook & bottle washer so to speak. That doesn't mean, however, that I will have it ready when he comes home! Nope. Especially if I work all day as well. Not happenin'!

Nutty Buddy, hubby actually asked me if I was all right b/c I slept "so late"! I have been feelin' run down this week and I am sure most of it is due to TOM on its way by and the rest to fighting this danged cold. That cold won't get me too badly I think. I am fighting it tooth and meal :D hehehehe Next time, though, send energy vibes or those ones that make you feel like you drank a few too many red bulls!!! LOL You know, the "now where did I lose my mind?" vibes :D hehehehehe


Well, found out today my MIL is not doing well. She went in for knee surgery but is now having difficulty breathing. Looks like we'll be taking another NY trip to see her in the hospital on Saturday. I was supposed to work this weekend (again) but this is much more important. If they still want me to work OT I may work really late tomorrow ( until 7 or 8 or so) instead of leave at 4... Depends if hubby is working or not, really. Yeesh! I wish I could get a day off to do ABSOLUTELY nothing! Well, not really. Just a couple where I can do things I WANT to do instead of HAVE to do. Like read or veg. or sleep and blare the radio while doing it :p

Food for today:

1 can chicken noodle soup (4)
8 oz OJ ( 2) - these are what ya call cold fighters in a can :D

turkey frank (2) - thought of you Peanutty Buddy!

trkey bologna sand. on light wheat w/ cheese, extra bolg., 1T miracle whip (7)

7 quakes - chocolate (1) - they taste like Cocoa Puffs!!!

not sure on dinner yet.... will have to see


We had a baby shower today at work. I was a good girl and ate my quakes instead of cake :D Ya know, it didn't really tempt me today - thank goodness! LOL I was so busy and tired at work, I wanted to eat a whole bin of my favorite truffles but I was a good girl and avoided every single one of 'em!!! I was afraid "one bite" WOULD become "one bin" :rolleyes: Well, everyone but me is out of the house right now... what a change! Hubby went to the dump and the boys are outside playing with friends ( I HATE being a free babysitter for kids who live so close, but I suppose its good for the boys - doesn't mean I have to like it though! LOL). Now I dont' know what to do with myself! I know house work has to be done, but I don't wanna!!! :p on that! hehehehe

Okay off to see some more of ya!
 
Well, I crashed at 730 and never made it to post my dinner :rolleyes:

Add to yesterdays food:

3 turkey franks (6)
8oz skim milk (2)

total points for the day: 24
total water for the day: 32oz. :( MUST to better today!


So far today, no eats. Not sure what I want. Maybe more soup but still debating :rolleyes:

I slept to my alarm again - and went to bed HOURS earlier than lately. Huh. Guess I was tired! LOL I still feel pretty tired, but not like last night. holy moly I was walkin' dead last night :eek:
 
Hey Peanut! I'm not sure you need for me to send you any of those "now where did I lose my mind" vibes! Lol! :p So sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope she gets better soon. You are right, it is more important right now to see her.

Good job on passing up that cake at work! You are doing great! That scale has to go down on your next weigh in. ;)

So, you mean I didn't keep you awake last night with all my coughing? Lol! :p :D
 
oh man, I know what you mean about being the walking dead some nights! Its been happening with me a lot lately what with end of term assignments and all - I definitely wouldn't wish it on anyone! I'm glad you got some well-deserved rest though, and hope you get a good sleep every night too :)
 
Ok I Am So Glad You Are Doing Good I Am Back And Ready To Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi all! It was a ten hour, no lunch day today at work... I didn't mind, but man I was starved when I got home since I ate my "lunch" for snack at 12:30 and didn't leave work until 7 :rolleyes: Made dinner as soon as I walked in the door and sucked down the rest of my water for the day. ANYWAY!!!

Nutty Buddy, I am pretty sure I lost my mind today, anyway :p:D I mean, what else would make me agree to stay so late at work when all I wanted to do was go home and crash?!?! LOL My MIL is doin' better -thank goodness! Things are straight now and she'll be home on monday or tuesday I think. My poor FIL is bored out of his skull so he talked hubby's ear off before I got home. LOL Poor FIL. LOL MY MIL usually does everything for him. LOL Nutty Buddy, you won't believe this, but they had a BIRTHDAY PARTY TODAY!!! I have never had to fight temptation so many times in a row!!! LOL I didn't have cake. I was a good girl, but boy how I wanted it!!! It was my fave (well, its tied in top spot with strawberry)! It was pineapple cake with a coolwhip/ pineapple "frosting"!!!! OHHHH I SOOO WANTED SOME!!! I had my yogurt :rolleyes: BTW, you can't wake up a tree!! LOL I slept like a log last night - and probably will again tonight - so you could've beaned me with something and I wouldn't have known it! LOL

Bailey, I really DID need it. 9 and 10 hour days are taking their toll - its a good thing I am not working tomorrow. I plan on sleeping until I feel like getting up (probably 5 for this peabrain) and then going back to bed to do a very important job - inspecting my eyelids for leaks that may prove detrimental to my sleeping health later on :p :D

Tina, I am glad you are back with us :D We'll rock together - I am determined :D (weigh in tomorrow for Big $ challenge and then again on Monday for WW :rolleyes: If I haven't lost I will lose my remaining sanity, I swear! LOL)

Lets see.... Food for today:

1 can italian wedding soup (6) 6am

1/2 turkey bol. and cheese sand. (4) - xtra bologna 830am

FF yogurt (2) 1230pm

1/2 sand. from above (4) 330pm

2 whole eggs (4)
6 oz extra lean ham (4) 730pm

total points for today:24
total water:64 oz

Okay. Off to turn into a punkin - or is that peanut butter??? LOL Maybe its punkin butter! :D hehehehehe
 
Hi Bize!! Missed ya! You look like you are doing so good! I hope your weigh in goes good tomorrow. Keep up the good work. Let's drop these pounds! Good job keeping off the 15 you lost. Way to say no to pineapple whip cream frosty goodness! Whoo hoo
 
Hey Peanut! Sorry you had such a long day at work, but glad to hear your MIL is doing better. :D You are such a strong nut to be able to resist cake two days in a row! That's great! I am anxious to see what your weigh in is tomorrow. You have been doing so good! :D By the way, inspecting those eyelids is pretty important exercise! Lol! :D
 
Hey MissJ! Glad you could stop in. Missed ya :D

Nutty Buddy, I don't really mind the long days since I like my job - its all the things that bombard me when I walk in the door at home that makes it seem even longer. Dishes, dinner, laundry.. that kinda stuff. I get to what I can get to and the family has to look at the rest if they don't do it. I just refuse to become a machine :rolleyes: The first cake wasn't hard to resist b/c I dont' like frosting - the traditional kind- so I kinda feel like it was a cheat to resist that one. THe second was hard - my fave cake/ frosting combo and I REALLY wanted some. I just wanted weightloss more :) Inspection of the eyelids is very important. The eyeball should be starved of air for as long as possible at night and if you see daylight peekin' through on a "nap" inspection then you know you arent' getting a proper seal at night :p :D


Well. Weighed in this mornin' .... I weighed myself 7 times b/c I got 3 different numbers. They were all in the same basic range but I wanted to be SURE darn it! 184.2!!!! :D that is a.... 3.6 loss!!!!! :D YAY!!!! Now to keep that number or lower until Mondays weigh-in for WW :eek: *I think I can. I think I can.* :D
I am so excited I could jump up and down and scream but I dont' think hubby will appreciate that at 6 am :rolleyes: Spoil sport! LOL

not sure whats for food yet... not really hungry.... hafta wait until I get hungry.... Maybe lentil soup...MMMMMM but we'll see. Right now its ticker time!
 
You lost more than 3 pounds since Monday!! Yay! I told you that you were going to get a better number on that scale! You are doing great! I will be so glad when I am at 184.

You were right. Hubby probably wouldn't have like it if you had started screaming. :rolleyes: Besides, he probably would have thought you had lost what little mind you have left and called in those little men with the white coats! :D
 
Way to go Girlfriend, you big loser! hehe You're doing amazing. I need to get a scale that measures fractions of pounds. Don't have one yet. I have one of those digital ones that rounds everything to whole numbers. I was reading your post in Beagles about your little notebook of diarys. haha you're too cute. I agree, I have to use the subscribed threads function on here or it would take me forever to find my favorites. I have it set to subscribe me to the posts I reply to. Whoever thought of that was genious. lol

Keep on going girl! I'm so happy for you. You are cruising on the weight loss. Yippee! Making it look easy. hehe
 
LOL Yeah,Nutty Buddy, hubby probably would've given up on me THEN!!!! :p:D You'll be at 184 before ya know it! :D

Oh... Food so far today

1C 98% FF Lentil soup (3)
1/4C shredded cheese (3)

10 baby carrots (0)
celery sticks (0)
2 laughing cow wedges (2)
1oz green olives (1)

6 oz chicken breast (6)
1/2 C basmati rice (3)

That leaves me a grand balance of 6 points for snack and dinner :D

Water so far today: 32oz :D

So far so good! Hope I can keep goin' as good with so much time left in the day :D

Mama and Daddy stopped by. The bought Daddy a new motorcycle!!! I just can't see my small Daddy (he's MAYBE 5'3") on that death-cycle!!! LOL Even harder to picture is my straight-laced Mama on it with him!!! ROFLMAO!!! Hubby gave Daddy his old motorcycle leather jacket since he won't be ridin' anymore :rolleyes: Daddy is in hog heaven!!! LOL Too bad his feet are so small 'cause hubby has leather 'cycle boots that he doesn't wear! LOL OMGoodness, I just can't get over it!!! LOl

Oh,well.... Off to the rest of the day. Lots to do and not enough time...
 
Hey MissJ!! We posted together :D That little notebook keeps my brain semi-organized :p :D I dont know about "making it look easy" since its certainly taken me forever to get this far :D I am SO glad I made it this far - now I want to get even farther! :D
