Hi Guys!

Well I weighed and measured. Wendy don't hate me, I lost 5lbs. I thought my scale was broken so I waited and weighed a 10lb.bag of potatoes to see if it came up right! Then I tried again and it was the same! So that's a total of 18lbs. since I started July 1st.

How did you make out Wendy? Do you weigh in today? You're probably still asleep after being up half the night.

Hi Marie, Jessica, Charlotte, and Cleo!! I think Terri is back on Tuesday.

I got thru ME yesterday! I was like jello when I was done! But I feel great today! Going walking and then Freestyle today. I may just do free form no tape. I'll see where the spirt moves me.

Gonna read the paper! Be back later!

Oh Kali, I couldn't hate you! I'll just kick your a$$ when I see ya, that's all! :p :p :p But seriously...CONGRATS! :7 That's great!
It TTOM for me so I have a feeling that is what caused my gain...I will know on tuesday when I get on the scale as TTOM will probably be gone by then so the weight should be back off by then if that's what it was.

Well, I can't really chat right now. Have to get DS and myself ready for Church.

TTYL.:)
 
Oh Wendy. You are too cute! I'm sure TTOM is what caused your weight gain. Just keep doing what you're doing. Like I told you, do it for a few weeks and if you're not seeing results, we'll change it up!

I keep bugging DH about finding out about that Germany trip so we could finalize the GTG. I'm hoping I'll know soon.

I was thinking about it and if you still want to meet for lunch, we'll wait till maybe the 3rd week of September if that's ok and DH will take the day off so he can pick up the boys from school so I won't have to worry about rushing back. That would be a hec of a thing if I got caught in traffic and couldn't get the boys. I drop off and pick up everyday. They are not riding the bus until they're in middle school! And even then I may still take them if my work hours still permit! How does Wednesday the 14th look for you? Just let me know if you still want to. If not we'll meet at the GTG.

Kali, congrats!!! That is so awesome. I do not own a scale because I think they are evil, evil things. }( I was laughing at the thought of you weighing the potatoes, though! LOL

I am off to take my eldest for school clothes and supplies.

TTYL,
Marie
 
Hey Kali...

Sept 14th Joey has a doc appointment so that day isn't going to be good for me. Maybe earlier in that week though??? I can't go later in the week because I have the wedding and his Christening that Friday night and Sunday so things will start to get a tad crazy 'round here.

So where do you work? I never heard you mention your job before...is it p/t during the school year only?

So I'm back from Church and I am waiting to work out after having eaten my 2nd meal of the day.

Speaking of eating, I did good yesterday at my SIL's house. I ate what I brought plus salad she made to fill me up. She made sausage and peppers so I had only one piece and NO BREAD!!! :7 (I LOVE ITALIAN BREAD TOO! :9 ) She also had coffee and a cake and awesome muffins from Costco for dessert...I bit my lip and refused dessert too! That was awful hard though! I was absolutely DROOLING over this chocolate chip muffin my other SIL was eating right next to me!!! :eek: I drank my coffee and wouldn't give in though! :)

It's all humid and muggy and nasty here AGAIN!!! x( We had such a gorgeous week...it was one of the few gorgeous weeks we have had all summer. I was hoping it would last a little longer since summer is almost over now...;(

Hey Marie! How did the shopping go?

How's everyone else doing?
 
Kali,

Weighing potatoes? Hmmmm. LOL! You know if your working as hard as you are, you shouldn't doubt yourself by weighing the potatoes first, silly women! I am having a hard time lately with my jeans. Getting too loose in the waist, hips and if I try to go down another size, my thighs will be too big so I am walking around with stretch jeans that keep falling way down like super duper low risers...dare I bend over? EW, no! LOL!
Well I did my shoulder work from legs and shoulder and now I am waiting for DH to fix the pec part on the smith machine so I can work chest and back. Later I am suppose to go for a 6 mile run in the evening, but I fair my TTOM too will be upon me so I will still try to do it though.

Marie,
You wait last minute for supplies too for school as I do. Just got our children everything yesterday.

Charlotte~~
 
Charlotte,

TTOM just stinks, doesn't it!?!? x(

6 miles, huh? That's impressive! I can't run for beans! LOL
 
Hi Everyone!
Wendy how about the 12th or 13th or would the following week be better when everything is done for you? That's no problem for me if you want to wait another week. I know the GTG may be a week after that but who cares?
Great job last night! You really had some will power going on.Good for you! :) I LOVE Chocolate chip muffins! In fact I had one Wednesday when we went to the Poconos. I also had a mini canolli which is my absolute favorite dessert in the world. }(

A friend of mine is a chiropractor and she needs someone to take care of the office since she's doing everything herself right now. So she offered me a job M-TH, 10-2pm. which is what I need to let me take the boys and pick them up from school. I'm a little nervous because I haven't worked in like 5 years at least. But I used to do office work so I shouldn't have a problem. It's really a blessing.

It's humid here again for the next week at least unfortunately.

I'm glad I amuse you guys! I only weighed the potatoes to make sure the scale was correct!!
Charlotte I could relate to the jeans. I am finally able wear a pair without having to have them taken in at the waist because I need a huge size for my fat a** and thighs! This will be the first winter I can wear a cropped sweater or top again because I don't have to wear something long to cover up my waist!

Marie hope you get everything you need for school. Do your kids go to Abington? When do they all start? We start Wednesday. Well Kindergarten orientation is Wed. and Matt starts on Thursday. I'm doing a little better with it. Once we get thru that first morning I'll be fine. Then I'll have about a week and a half all to myself before I start work. I'll probably end up housecleaning this pig sty.

Ok. I'm off to do Bootcamp. Just once tho. Talk to you guys when I'm done!:7

Well ya'll, I have been trying to stick more to this anabolic diet plan. I just finsihed eating a sweet potatoe with brown rice. My son looks at me and ask me what is wrong. I told him that the rice probably taste like the wall and I am not thrilled about eating boring plan A&& rice! LOL! My next meal, which is about every 2 hours is roast beef and baked beans. Hate baked beans so I will substitute with something else. Next meal after that is Wheat Spaghetti w/meat sauce and a salad and then I get to eat CAKE! Angel Food, that is, and with STRAWBERRIES!!!! Monday starts off with 4 slices of bacon with 3 eggs and so on. Mostly low carbs and more protein. Higher carbs on weekend. I had popcorn last night when we watched Brothers Grimm. Not much though and then I had M&M's with nuts. I ate the first 6 M&M's and then just cracked the rest and ate the nuts out and then we the movie was over, thru the chocolate scrap in the trash. I don't want to get reaquainted with sugar too much.

Wendy,
It is humid here too. Geez, I was just starting to like that nice breezy cool weather we were having. Summer ain't over yet honeys!

Kali,

Don't you just love it when you start to look different in your clothes? I started with a pear shape body and now I actually have some shape to my upper body, but I am still working on it. Not where I want to be yet. DH is now working on the smith machine to get the pec part to work.
 
I came, I Pushed & Pulled, I All Stepped (MAJOR accomplishment for me!), I ab-worked and I too CONQUERED it ALL! ;) :p ;)

Yes, ladies, you heard it right...I DID ALLSTEP!!!! For those of you who don't know the background on this...this step w/o has been my ARCH enemy since the day I got the CTX dvd!!! I have tried it 2 maybe 3 times and never got all the way through b/c I was sooo dang frustrated and confused! Well, today I did it all the way through! I messed up here and there but for the most part I think I actually get it now! YEAY! :7 :+ :7

I am really fightin' to get my cals in today. Today is my TDEE day and I am pretty far behind! I'm gonna have to eat a good sized dinner and maybe even a snack before and after to get all those cals in! WHOA! }(

Okay, TTYL!
 
Kali, as far as getting together for lunch, I am thinking the 12th or 13th should be fine unless I find myself with lots to do in prep. for the upcoming w/e...we'll talk as it gets a bit closer! :) So when do you start this new job?

Dinner is eaten and cleaned up. I think Joey is napping. Last I checked in on him he had "assumed the position" that he likes to fall asleep in. He's just too darn cute! :+

DH went out to grab us a movie to watch tonight and some much needed TP! We are using to our last roll right now! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Well, I managed to squeak in my cals for the day. It was tough as I wasn't really THAT hungry but I managed to get them in w/o making myself sick! lol Now I need a cup of java...I heard on the news before that coffee is the #1 (I think, if not then close!) source of antioxidants!!! My only vice (left) in life and it's actually GOOD for me! How about that!?!? :7 I could probably do w/o the 2 tspns of sugar that I take in every cup but heck it's still better than soda, right? :p

Okay, well I'm off to check on my babe and make my java. I may be back in just a few mins if DH isn't home with the movie yet!

TTYS!:)
 
Sounds good Wendy. DH said just let him know when we want to meet and he'll just call off that day. I start my job Sept. 12. I'm only going to work a few hours the first few weeks to get my feet wet. So that's good for me. I wanted to wait till October to start so I could have some time by myself with the kids in school now, but I think a week will suffice. I'm only going to work 4 hours a day at the most anyhow. So that will break it up for me. I don't do well when I have too much time on my hands.

Glad you got your cals in. I was hungry before dinner, but couldn't finish it. I ate most of it tho. I'm thinking I'm going to reward myself tonight with a big bowl of frozen yogurt! Marla is so sweet, she told me she feels like a "proud mama"! She is such an inspiration to me.

I can't live without coffee. I just had one at the meeting I went to. A few of my dearest friends celebrated their sobriety tonight. It was a really great time. Did you ever try Splenda Wendy? That's what I use.

Well, I'm going to go wash my face. It's so muggy here. Then I'm going to practice my guitar and watch Desperate Houswives later if it's on. Have a good night and I'll talk to you bright and early!
