Glad to hear that your feeling all better.

Thanks Brandy, Kimberly, Amber & Bella for stopping by! On my phone I can't quote messages though. >:[
This morning, I ate breakfast and then decided to do 30mins of taebo and then 30mins of pilates. I was super dreading it before I stated, but once I got to doing it, I felt good... energized and whatnot :]. So I completed my 3 hours of exercise for the challenge! Yay!! And of course I already do the food tracking, so that was in the bag.
Still at 183.5 this morning. Wish it was down but hey, I didn't gain so I'm alright with it. :]
After I post here, I'm gonna try and update my challenge post.
As for my laptop... it's toast. David and I both tried working on it but it's useless. It's a g3 apple ibook. Those models had problems with their logic boards. Mine had already been replaced when the prev. owners had it so it was working fine when I got it. Then I don't remember exactly when, but it started messing up. Made a fix to it that wasn't perm. but it would hold it up for awhile. Now, other things are being affected by the broken logic board. Or they're just going on their own. wireless card, charging port, speakers. etc. So now it works when it wants but the charging port is dead so I can't charge it. Essentially, it is worthless. It's not worth the money to fix it either. It'd be 200+ for a logic board. >
So now, I'm out a computer. Lol.
I plan on sending out christmas cards this year, so whoever would like a pretty handmade card by moi, just pm me with your address. If you don't want to get one/give out your address, don't worry, I won't be offended :] I'll probably send them out the day after turkey day. :] so get on the addy thing ladies!!! :]
Alright, I'm off to go update my challenge post. Hope everyone is having a great friday! Xoxoxox

Hi Amber!
David and I are thinking about possibly both putting in half to buy a new laptop. Not too sure if we should though as the holidays are right around the corner and gifts must be bought. He wants to but I'm the sketchy one. Lol
I'll most likely end up looking around and probably buy a wireless card for the desktop this upcoming monday. So hopefully this upcoming week, I'll be back around here without giving myself carpal tunnel (spelling?) from typing on my phone constantly. Lol. :]

Hey Sweetie, sorry about the laptop! You ROCK with the exercise!

That sucks about your laptop. I think the wireless card for the desktop is the best inexpensive way to go. Glad to see you're doing well with the challenge. Now if that damn scale would give you some downward action, eh?

I sent you my addy in a pm so hopefully you will get it soon.

uggggggggh!! That's really crappy that your laptop decided to break on you hun, and even only after 8 months!!! Hopefully it's still under warranty...? :/
And yay to getting to see the hubby!!! I hope you two have an amazing weekend together! :] I'll keep my hopes up for you too that he'll be home for turkey day! :]

:] I'm looooooooooooving the challenge so far! It actually gets me pretty darn motivated. I'm really hoping that the scale will go down tomorrow, a few hours ago I was even with my morning weight (thank you very much fiber!). So I'm really keeping my fingers crossed. If I somehow don't lose, I think I may scream. lol.
:] That's a good idea! Buuuuut once I post this, I'll post my new entry which will explain the great news!!!
Thanks Val!! I'm hoping to get this weight down more with the help on some major booty kicking exercise this upcoming week.

Soooooooooooo as you can see from my last entry, I'm on a computer (couldn't quote on the phone).
David got home from work and when he walked into the bedroom I was sitting hovered over my phone on the internet. He came over to me, gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead and said 'Okay, let's go get you a new laptop.' After much talk about finances, I agreed to let him get me one. I told him that this would be my christmas gift. Meh, no ring for me this year! Maybe next lol.
We headed over the walmart near the house because I had seen that they have some pretty inexpensive nice laptops. They didn't have much there so we decided to go to the other walmart that's 24 hours because it's a relativly new store and it was about 11 by now so no other stores were open. They had a much larger selection of laptops. He told me that I could pick one out and I ended up choosing this one:
I'm just trying to get used to windows vista. Going from an Apple to a Windows, is insane. Granted, I've used a windows before and my desktop is one, but I'm just so used to my mac. But I'm not so in love with mac that I'd buy a laptop from them new... that'd burn a hole clear through my wallet.
So far, so good. I'm loving my new laptop and love David insane amounts.
I'm gonna go mess around with it for a bit, then I've gotta get some serious sleep, 3am is waaaaaay too late for me lately. I'll be back tomorrow!!

I'm definitely glad too, I was shocked that he actually bought me one. lol. No carpal tunnel for me... yet! :]Morning Elle Doll,

He knew that what I was missing out most on was this place. lol.
Don't worry about not being around much, I'm sure you're having a blast with your sister!!! (i think she's still there?) Hope you're having fun!!

182 this morning!! Finally some nice losing action. I guess I was doing alright before though, 185 last saturday to 183 this saturday. This new weight of 182, makes my total weight lost 30.5lbs!!! Finally hit the 30lb mark and I couldn't be happier... except for when I get down to my goal, that is 32 more lbs to go before I hit 150. :] I can't wait to just get into the 170's. David said last night that when I get into the 170's, we're going to do something to celebrate. I know what I'm doing though once I get there, most likely I will be screaming and crying at the same time. lol.
Yesterday, I tried on my peacoat to see how it fits. Last year it was extremely tight to the point that buttoning it was a little sketchy. Last year in it, I looked as if I was preg. So when I tried it on, I was very pleased. It actual fits me decently now, I think in about 10 more pounds lost that it'll fit perfectly! :]
So, I know that David wouldn't have bought me the laptop if he couldn't afford it, but I still feel really guilty about it. I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm not used to being bought such expensive gifts... or any gifts in general.
My last boyfriend had a really good job as an electrician and he never bought me anything. I'm not saying that buying things is expected, but it would have been nice if when we went to the movies or dinner, that I didn't have to pay my own way.
Even after a year with David, I'm still not used to him buying me things all the time. It's just something that I'm definitely not accustomed to. He's one of the guys that believes that the man should open doors, pull out your chair, pay for dinner etc. It's wonderful but I've never really had that so I'm still trying to adjust to his way of doing things. Also, something else that I think possibly adds to my reservations is my low self worth. Who knows! I love my boyfriend though and love everything that he does for me.
Sorry for the non-weightloss talk, I just had to write it down somewhere.
I think I'm gonna go grab a salad with some chicken on it (yummy!!) because salad sounds really good right now! I'm gonna eat and go to eveyone's diaries. :]
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!!!

I've always had PCs and always WANTED Macs but...shit! I feel ya, ALTHOUGH there are a few things with "cutting and pasting" on Macs that piss me off, I like PCs for that, that's about it.

I'm so excited for your weight loss, I can tell it means so much to you and I can't wait until you get there, keep doing it, woman!
OH my goodness you have my Dream BF
You're blessed, I'm so glad! I am the one who has always made it rain on MY BFs, and they just took it and never bought ME much, except beer. 
And you can talk about anything you want here, no worries! Go to youtube and intall the Flash Player!

I'm with ya on always wanting a mac. When I got mine, I was in looove. lol. I do have to agree with you though on having some things about macs being seriously stupid. I hated having to re-learn all the key shortcuts.
:] thanks for the support on the weightloss hun! It seems that the closer I get, the more I want it.
I definitely have to say that I'm pretty lucky having found my bf when I did. He's everything and more than I could ever ask for. (hey! I'm a poet and I didn't even know ittttt! haha)
I agree with ya on having shitty bf's that never repay the kindness. They're one of the worst sort of douchebags out there. Beer was a big thing for my ex to buy me too. lol. I swear he thought it was equivalent to diamonds.
stupid men!

I'm extremely excited about David buying me the laptop, now I'll have no more computer related MIA times from here. :] *crosses fingers*
yay to being tied for first! Even though it's with a bunch of people, I don't care! lol. I think this weeks challenge should be fairly easy for me, just like last weeks was. I usually keep my cals in the range of 1400-1600 (whoops! must of hit the 6 instead of the 7!!!) as it is. I'm seriously lovin the challenge so far!
