Yarm's No More Excuses!

Ah, job interviews. No matter how prepared I ever went to one of those they always find to ask a question I did not think about and get me by surprise. Such nerve-wrecking. Hope everything will work out for you guys.
My hubby's dream is to be a stay at home dad!! He would be so good at it too!!!
Way to go with counting the calories!! And getting the exercise in.
Here sending losing vibes for Saturday!!

Howdy Yaramiah,

impatient to wait for OCT lol! Before I knew you were intersted
I brought it up to BIKINIBOUND about a xmas challange because
I probally will take a break on this holiday challnage(not from dieting)
anyway maybe you 2 can team up and share ideals ect or can have
2 different type challanges like 1 a team challnage the other a single
challange?Just ideals.....
I really thing challanges help ya get to your goals and tthats part of
the reason I lost what I have lost so far so WE need to keep them going.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend Tammy

Day 60 (Monday)

Well, I'm still tryin to get used to this "going to work thing" on MOndays. Got a call from my parents with rather bad news= seems my dad has a tumor in his back and will be hospitalized a few days for testing to determine what the next plan of action will be. Couple this with the fact that my folks live over an hour away and my mom dosn't drive means life is gonna become quite complicated I think. I will keep chugging along. I missed my work out this morning, but was a good girl and got in 40 min on the NT after I got home. For some reason, I only got in about half my water- I blame the whole working mondays thing :rotflmao:.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Keep us posted on the situation Okay.
Don't you hate it when you realize that you didn't get in all your water for the day but by the time that you realize it, it's like 8-9 at night. So it's way to late to try and chug it all down. Otherwise you would be up all night peeing!!!
Your meals look great and as always you have the best attitude!
Keep at it!
Oh, hey what ever happened to the little girl do you know?
 
I did try to follow up on what happened with the littel girl. I called my local and county police and got no where- they told me to try the state police, but after pressing 1,then2, then 6, then 8 etc and not ever getting a person, I had to give up as I was at work :mad:. I'm assuming all worked out ok, as I did not see any story on the news about it, nor did I get a call back.
 
Well we will just have to pray that no news is Good News!

Sorry to hear abour your dad, I hope everything will be ok. Keep us posted.
Also I know how you feel about stress at work. I unfortunately "carry" that home with me which is not a good thing.
Congrats on getting your exercise in anyway!!!

Day 61 (wednesday)

YAY! Today my door came! Hubby and I finally invested in new windows and a front door, and the door was installed yesterday.
