****************************


BECKY - Aren't you supposed to have cookies after blood work? And how do they not take enough blood, anyway? Sheesh!

JEN - Are you feeling any better today? I'm glad to hear you're going to the doctor. Why put up with that awfulness day in and day out, worrying week to week if it's going to be a good one or a bad one?

What's a Marathon Bar? The only Marathon Bar I know of is an awesome candy bar that went out of production because more than anything, it caused teeth to be pulled out LOL. It was this long braided bar of caramel, and it was covered in chocolate, and there was no way of eating it but to put one end in your mouth, yank, yank, have the chocolate start to crumble off onto the carpet, yank some more and then POP out goes your toof, but mmmmMMMmmMmmMMmm! Well worf the effort!

Wow, conference calls, brain picking and major cleaning. Talk about being good at multitasking! And I couldn't believe that you remembered that Jana jets off places. How on earth did you remember that? You've probably only seen her posts like two or three times! Can I have your brain?

LMAO! I just read Michele's post saying

>I'll say this much, you are the QUEEN of multitasking

I swear we always use the same words! It's as if SHE's copying me all the time! LOL.

MARIAH - We knew your birthdate because we know all. Birthday, ailments, favorite snacks.

I've heard lots of people do step aerobics without the actual step and that it's very good that way, too....Good to hear you took some action on your health if things have been feeling funky as of late. I hope the vitamins and herbs will kick the Candida to the curb.

Hey, I listened to the Shakira song. I love to listen to your recommendations. Keep 'em coming!

HEATHER - Hey, our birthdays are just days apart! And how thoughtful of Cathe to film Body Max 2 on your birthday. I'd be thrilled to celebrate with you, but unfortunately I don't have BM 2 so....

Okay. I'm officially one day late. I'm not going to tell DP (Darling Plant) just yet. I don't want to worry him or anything.

SHELLEY - Lots of August birthdays? The winter makes for warmth-producing friskiness, I guess, eh?

MICHELE -

>Hmmmmmm...all I can think of is it's cold in November

Yeah, yeah, what Michele said.

ROBIN -

>There is nothing else to do in November

Yeah, yeah, what Robin said.

>I carried both of my babies in my butt.

LMAO.

DIANE - Hi, Diane! Mmm. Cookies.

BECKY - Cinnamon Cake IS big news. Especially if it's good Cinnamon Cake. And I'm guessing it is. By the way, I had no idea who Neil Cavuto or FNC was, either. Then again, I don't live in that country LOL.

DANA - Congrats on the 3 pds! That's fantastic! And LOL about the Pilates. You NEED to check out the Winsor Buns & Thighs 20 min workout! NO ROLLING. Heck, hardly any breathing, either LOL

How fun that your friend gets to go see Seinfeld do stand-up. I love stand-up! And obviously I can't get that here...Pedro Carl (PC)! LOL! What a great name! Pedro is warming up to me already this morning.

Oh, and don't worry, the emoticons won't be a problem.

KARA -

>Holy Moly, August! Those are the biggest lips I have ever seen!

For a minute, I'd forgotten about the emoticon I posted, so I was thinking, my lips? How did Kara see my lips? LOL. Woo hoo for you on winning 100th post!

WHO WILL WIN TODAY?!

Man, we really are nuts this month.

CORRIE - Ooooh, you missed my big lips emoticon. You missed out on a big ol' kissipoo!

>I was wondering why nobody has put the year down for their birthdays.

LMAO. Go away. :*

DEB - Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, when can you, uh, share the "out there" news?

Anyway, whatever the news, family-telling news isn't good timing when it's on someone else's birthday. That sucks.

OMG, LMAO about your friends' family portrait with their son flipping the bird! I'm sure the cameraman saw it after it was developed and went "Cr*p."

TERRI - Hi, Terri! Oh man, no pushups! No pushups!



Okay. I'm just about ready to go to my work room. I'm also. however, just about ready for a nap.


ETA : On second thought, that cameraman was probably using digital, so he probably knew it and maybe frustratingly thought "serves him right."

 

[August]

P.S. Hi, Arista and MSY!

 

[August]

In honor of our wiggy month, here is a pretty funny site if you're in need of a laugh while having some evil in your blood.


http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/


Now will you PUHLEEEEZE let me get to work?

 

[Miss Lee]

From the "Go Fug Yourself" website...I kid you not!

From the Faq page:

4. You two need to stop eating Twinkies and get on the treadmill. Clearly you're fat and bitter, and no one will ever love you.

We would get off the couch, if the donut glaze on the backs of our thighs hadn't hardened into a thick paste, forever yoking us to the sofa.

G'night August:* :*

 

[August]

So THAT'S what that paste is!


Night, Mich Mich

Nuts R Us Check-in

Good morning! Rise and Shine! :7 This is my Cathe anniversary! :7 I have been a member here for a year today! See my group hug in Open Discussion. :*

Girls, I think I may be a nut. :7 I spent an hour trying to scrub a stain out of my bedroom carpet. It was not budging. Resolve usually does the trick for me. I could not figure out how a dark spot got there in the first place. Scrub, scrub, scrub. No success. When I woke up this morning, I realized that it was a shadow. I’m losing my mind one night at a time. :7 It must be PMS. ;-) Yes, that is it. Blame it on the PMS hormones. :7

Y’all are nuts. :7 In case you did not know, I am confirming it. How did I get sucked into this crazy check-in anyway? I was just a visitor. Oh, I know. It is Michele’s fault. She interrupted a thread last Saturday in Open Discussion to ask for my Texas Sheet Cake recipe. I peeked in here to check on her workouts. What I am still doing here? I just came for a visit. I was not planning to move in. :7 LOL!

August, I am officially 2 days late, but who is counting? You missed a great Arista quote yesterday. She told us that we will get through this PMS together “come hell or chocolate waterfalls.” :7 LOL! Where can I find a chocolate waterfall? As soon as my 40 days is over, I will need one. ;-)

Michele, you actually like the Gym Style upper body workouts more than any other workout on this earth? You are more disturbed than I imagined! :7 No, you cannot do those on my birthday. You can do Rhythmic Step instead of Body Max 2. I love that one too. You need to master Cathe’s choreography before the Road Trip! I would hate to see you make a complete fool of yourself in front of Cathe. :7 LOL! That is my hate for today.

Shelley, my body does not process meat or soy well either. I am highly allergic to seafood, mushrooms, and MSG. I am very sensitive to soy too. I can eat an Odwalla Bar every now and then, but soy protein shakes are out of the question. If I drink one, I gain 15 pounds overnight! My body swells up like a water balloon. :-( It is nuts. I agree with your suggestion to investigate food allergies. Thankfully, I can eat cheese and yogurt. I avoid milk because I prefer almond milk. I have not had any meat since New Year’s Eve and do not miss it. I was tired of chicken anyway. I am sure I will enjoy a juicy filet mignon from Texas Roadhouse every now and then, but I do not plan on eating meat every day again.

Shoe shopping is on the agenda for today. Yes, shoe shopping. :7 No, not workout shoes. I am not that crazy. :7 I need shoes for work. My feet have been killing me all week.

Please keep the posting to a reasonable level today. I do not want to find 1,000 messages in this thread when I return from the mall this afternoon! ;-)

Hugs (in birthday order) to Kara, Corrie, Deb, Shelley, Kate, Michele, Diane, Jen, Robin, Becky, MSY, Dana, Mariah, Arista, August, and Terri. :* We need some April, September, October, and December babies so we have an excuse to eat cake in those months too! :9

Blessings,
Heather B.

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

Oh My God Heather
I am not awake yet, which means i dont even know how to laugh yet, but did i ever laugh at your stain/shadow
I am known for those kind of things, I dont feel so alone in my Lucy mode now

My kids call me Lucy cause im always doing a Lucille Ball thing....

 

[August]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HEATHER!!

WOO HOOOOO! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

We're so happy to have you here with us.

(Nice work, Michele!! }( )

No sign of Aunt Flow over here, either. But I have been getting over my PMS with a "hell of a lot of chocolate waterfalls."

Wait, that wasn't quite what Arista said, was it.

I'm so intrigued about your finding out that your body doesn't process meats and soy well. Did you go through a process of cutting things out and trying this and that before realizing it? And how do you feel differently now that you don't eat meats?

LMAO LMAO about your carpet!!!!!

Okay, good luck shoe shopping. This is my last night before my deadline, so I actually really do have to work this evening. REALLY.

Hi, Mariah!

 

[sensualwordz]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I found this this morning while doing my meditations and just felt it was so worthy of sharing... Sometimes many of us forget to love ourselves, and accept just who and what we are...

From the book.. Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Copmfort and Joy
Sarah Bam Breathnach

"I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty," Dame Edith Sitwell (English poet) confessed toward the end of her life, "but I am too busy thinking about myself." Most of us don't spend nearly enough time thinking good things about ourselves. Today, follow Dame Edith's example. Discover, flaunt, and celebrate your authentic assets.

 

[buffettgirl]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

Goodmorning nut cases.

Heather, you had me cracking up with your scubbing the shadow story. It also reminded me to get to the swath of died cat puke that has been sitting next to the computer for about 3 days now. I keep waiting for someone else to clean it up. Also, congratulations on your anniversary. I, too, followed Michele to this crazy hate filled place and got sucked in by the wonderful posters who hate.

August, is (was) today a clothes day or a pj day? That glaze past is awful to get out in the laundry.

Michele, what are your plans today without DH?

Mariah, you're up early. Do you have to stack pancakes this morning?

My plans for the day include painting, B&G, babysitting, making a cherry pie and checking in here. My DD, the baby and Baby's dad will be spending the night at the other grandparents, so DH and I plan a romantic interlude. Right now I need a coffee refill and to go see what's up in OFland.

Good day to all the rest of you haters. I'm not going to name names cause I don't want to forget anyone.

 

[debfer]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

Hey girls-

Mariah-its so funny you mention Lucy-the other day my 10 yr old daughter saw it for the first time and she said it was so funny-it was the episode about the fur coat and Fred tried to steal it back or something??Luuuuuuuuuucceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-
and I have a friend who reads her simple abundance book every day-

Robin-"cat puke"-I am sputtering coffee over here- and it is about time you got to that painting, missy-

August-I love the way your eyebrows move and your a cutie!

michele-hope your not missing DH too much-

Heather-I love you-I see myself in you-thats me scrubbing the stain outta that carpet-if anyone noticed the nuttiness I was consumed with yesterday-I ended up firing off another e-mail after my SIL returned my first one and my hubby read it and said it had bite so for him I had my BIL delete it before she got to it and sent a real sugary one blaming my nuttiness on medical issues, the alignment of the sun & moons-whatever and made nicey, nice-you would be proud of me haters-wait a minute, I'm suppose to hate, we're haters right?-haters unite--

hello to everyone-later tator haters--George Costanza

 

[allwildgirl]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

I HATE SNOW x( x( x( x( x( x(

Yes, I had to shovel again this morning.

August - "You're fat and bitter and nobody will ever love you" OMG I cracked up so hard over that, and as my sputtering was dying down, I read Heather's bit about scrubbing the shadow for an hour and was laughing so hard I was crying!

You girls make my day

I don't have time for personals. Sophie and I are off to the opthamologist to get her eyes tested. And that means I get to spend time with her Dad. Oh joy, oh bliss. I wonder if he realizes that I left him because I don't WANT to spend time with him... speaking of hate....

SEE YA LATER!

 

[mnglamourgirl]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

Morning AllWildGirls!
Today's messages were read while eating my breakfast-ah, things are back to normal...? It's errand day today so we'll see how many postings you all can reach on a Saturday...

Heather: your spot on the carpet is hilarious!! Are you blonde? Only one blonde to another can ask that, okay brunettes?

SNOW? Where's the snow coming from? UGH!!

Hey, August, my b-day is the 21st of Nov, not that I care to remember them anymore.

Work has been busy and will get busier. I could land a big high-end client soon and I'd be very, very excited. Nervous, but excited. I always wonder will my work be good enough, you know? My diet and workouts are a mess. I'm reducing my calories and the number of my workouts. Hopefully these pounds will come off soon.

It's time to get the day started. I'll check back in around lunch time.

Terri

 

[buffettgirl]

RE: Nuts R Us Check-in

Whew, my workout is behind me. B&G, get it? Behind me? Bwahahaha. I crack me up. Anyhoo, it's time to go put on the painting clothes and throw some color on the trim work.

Terri, good luck with the client. Don't worry if you don't get all your workouts in. Life always gets in the way. Continue to eat healthy and your body will never miss a workout or two.

Shelley, have fun with the glasses. Hugs to Sophie (and dare I say to your ex?)

Off to color my world.

 

[Miss Lee]

I WANT one now!! OMG that sound so ymmilicious:9 :9

>>...yank some more and then POP out goes your toof, but mmmmMMMmmMmmMMmm! Well worf the effort!

ROTFLMAO!!

>>I swear we always use the same words! It's as if SHE's copying me all the time! LOL.

Great minds think alike, or idiots form in clusters, or something like that -- ROTFLMAO!

August, I'm sending major deep concentration vibes your way! I'm sure you're making beautiful music as we speak. I was lurking last night (because my DH woke me up at 2 AM to tell me good nightx() when you posted that hilarious website. What a hoot! I encourage everyone to peruse the website August posted ^^^^ there. It's so funny!

Heather!! Congratulations on your anniversary!! I will happily take full credit for your wandering into Hateville!

Your post was so funny it made me snort coffee through my nose:7. Shadow scrubbing...hey, that could be a new form of functional fitness training. You should make a DVD!

>>Michele, you actually like the Gym Style upper body workouts more than any other workout on this earth? You are more disturbed than I imagined! No, you cannot do those on my birthday. You can do Rhythmic Step instead of Body Max 2. I love that one too. You need to master Cathe’s choreography before the Road Trip!

Are you crazy!?!?!?!? I like the idea someone came up with yesterday about watching the Body Max 2 DVD while I ellipticise. Yeah, that works for me -- ROTFLOL!

I'm sending you boat loads of shopping love! I have a terrible time finding shoes but I managed to sang a pair from Zappos this week that I'm actually going to keep! I almost always have to send them back.

Mariah, I adore Lucille Ball. I haven't seen the Lucy show in years. thanks for the blast from the past.

Robin! I'll happily take credit for your move to Hateville, too:+

I'm sending you B&G love! That's my favorite of teh new series but it is really hard. I can only do the premixes. Well, I only ever do premixes .

For crying out loud, I hope you're not too exhausted for the romantic interlude after all that work!

Oh yeah, I found 3 cut puke spots in my dining room that were dried and hard. We don't have any furniture in our dining room so I rarely go in there. God only knows how long the puke was there. Ewwwwwww. I'm such a sloppy housekeeper

Deb~~
>>I ended up firing off another e-mail after my SIL returned my first one and my hubby read it and said it had bite so for him I had my BIL delete it before she got to it and sent a real sugary one blaming my nuttiness on medical issues, the alignment of the sun & moons-whatever and made nicey, nice-you would be proud of me haters-wait a minute, I'm suppose to hate, we're haters right?-haters unite--

ROTFLMAO!

Shelley, I'm sending powerful snow melting vibes your way!

>>August - "You're fat and bitter and nobody will ever love you" OMG I cracked up so hard over that

That was actually my post but I found it on the website that August posted so I will happily share the credit with her.

Hey, do you think Sophie's dad will show up for this appointment? I seem to recall that he missed a very important appt recently. Please post a pic of Miss Sophie in her new glasses!

Terri, I corrected your birthday on the master list:*

I'm crossing my fingers and toes that you get that new BIG client!! I'm sure you're up to the task. I looked at your website once and the pictures of your work were awesome!

Good luck with your new diet and exercise plan. I hope you find what works for you.

It has taken me forever and a day to finish this post. I need to skedaddle and have my breakfast before it's time for lunch! Hello to all I missed and I'll check in later to see what y'all'er up to:*

 

[iluvweights]

You girls make my day!! I decided I'm going to do as little work today as I can get away with... So more time for posting!!

Can I get a Woomp-woomp? 3 pounds gone in two days! LOVE THAT WATER WEIGHT!!

Heather... your bit about scrubbing the shadow on the carpet is something I've done more than once.. and then Mariah said she would too... It must be an August birthday thing! Us Leos can be so dramatic!! lol

Robin - I'm so glad your workout is BEHIND you... LMAO! Bwahahaha I'm actually going to do a workout today! Can I get a second Woom-woomp? I have no deadlines and I'm rarin' to kick some arse. I think I'll either go running and do core work if it gets sunnier or do Low Max and abs.

Michele - I'm glad I don't actually own any of these tough workouts ala Cathe, because then i MIGHT feel bad for not doing them... but instead, its bliss! LOL

August - So when do we get to hear the songs that you've written? Do you have them on MySpace or any place we can access?? Do you sing them too? Come on, give us the goods!!

Deb - A big BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Did you do anything fun??

Mariah - I have the Sarah Breathnach book, but I haven't opened it in ages... Thanks for reminding me to go get it now and then. Great quote!

Shelley - I hope your opthamologist appointment is tolerable. Hope you can come back later and fill us in!

Terri - From one blonde to another, that shadow-scrubbing story is so me! Just to clarify though, I'm not an idiot... although my posts may sometimes exude idiocy... LOL Good luck with your prospective client!!

Kara, Corrie, Diane, Dana, Jen, MSY, Becky, Kate, and Jana... and everyone else aforementioned... HAVE SUPER DUPER DAYS!!

Oh, and I had to jump in on the soymilk conversation and say that if you like or don't like soymilk, you have to 8th continent soymilk. I get the lite vanilla and it is SO good. Even Ryan commented on how good it was. Low in calories and super tasty. not gritty or overly soy-ey, if you know what I mean.

:* :* :* :* :* :* :* :+ :+

 

[August]

Oof, I have no more concentration in me to squeeze out. Plus I have to get up and leave early. So now I'm bed with Pedro heating me up.


MARIAH - Wow, St. Patrick's Day! That's something I haven't heard about in a while. I remember having to wear something green in elementary school. I like the concept of celebrating my authentic assets better.

ROBIN - Yes, today was a PJ day. My last beautiful PJ day for a while. Sounds like you have an awesome day ahead of you, especially the cherry pie part. And also the hubba hubba with hubby hubby!

DEB - I'm kind of glad to hear that your biteful email was deleted and that you were able to write a different one. No use in making ugly waves, even though we love our hateness. Did she have any reaction or response to your email?

SHELLEY - You should check out the comments on the photos on that Fug site. The top page right now has "diary" stuff, but you should check out the photos and comments. Take a look at the left side bar of "stars" and choose one to look through. Some of the comments these women write make me laugh out loud, and I'm not the type that often laughs out loud when reading stuff (unless it's a pithy quip from you sillies). Have, um, fun at the eye doctor!

TERRI - WHAT?! Okay, I'm posting the birthday list again. I have to. I'm anal. It must be done again. I can't for the life of me understand how I could have written it in wrong! Sorry about that....I'm sending good vibes to the big client! But maybe you should send him some donuts. That could be the clincher.

MICHELE - Oh good, you updated the birthday list! You made my anal all better LMAO. Sorry, that was unnecessary.

>or idiots form in clusters

LMAO!!

I'm glad the link to Fug found you some good laughs in the middle of the night. Those women could easily find housing in Hatesville.

You know, you also take credit for my move into Hatesville. You're responsible for a lot of people here, Mayor Michele.

>That was actually my post

Well, what with your COPYING my words all the time, no wonder Shelley got confused.

ARISTA - 3 pounds gone from your detox?! Holy mother! I want to detox! What did you eat?! TELL ALL. Juice, veggies and lean protein. That's what I'm going to eat.....

>Come on, give us the goods!!

:*

 

[August]

Heather, I have a visitor.

 

[JenL13]

Happy Saturday haters. I didn't sleep well again last night, getting very old. I took Nyquil about 2 b/c I just wanted to sleep. Since taking it so late I can still feel the effects of it now! I did KPC this morning and going to do something else this afternoon but not sure what yet. I am making today my lazy day and relaxing, errands can wait until tomorrow!

August- I am feeling a little better today so far. Snicker's makes a low carb/energy bar called marathon, I like the PB flavored one, and since it has 8 fiber in it it does hold me over until lunch. Glad to see your visitor ended up showing up, I bet DP is releived...if you even told him? How is Mr. Choco raisin doing? I don't know how I remembered about Jana jet setting around, I just remember her saying something about already having so many mileage points already this year.


Heather- Have you ever tried Spot Shot? I swear by that stuff, I love it. You can also use it on laundry. More shoes I see are in store for you, happy shopping!

Mariah- What are your plans for today? How are the grandbabies doing?

Robin- How is the painting coming along? Sounds like you have a full day planned already. How is the weather out there?

Deb- Are you having a better day today? I really hope so!

Shelley- Good luck at the opthamologist w/ Sophie. Sorry to hear you had to shovel more snow, you have to be completly sick of it by now. What w/o you doing today? I think you had posted a run if I remember correctly... I take it that will be done inside?

Terri- When will you find out about the possible new client? I have no doubt that you'll be good enough!

Arista- I should be around today also, since I am going to rest & relax today. Sounds like you have the same idea for the day!

Dana, Diane, Corrie, MSY, Kara, Jana, Becky- Hope your day is going well.

 

[iluvweights]

Here's what I ate on my detox:

This pineapple orange juice stuff (You can only get it from LA Weight Loss), but I'm pretty sure it was just a juice blend with citrus juices, pineapple, etc... It was yellow. LOL Four glasses throughout the day.

A ton of water. I did have coffee too, but no creamer, just splenda in it (which actually wasn't bad).

No alcohol or added salt. I used Mrs. Dash and this Morton Lite Salt (You can find it in the baking aisle and it has less sodium than regular salt.)

Chicken breasts and shrimp (or whatever meat you want as long as it not pre-seasoned). I used Mrs Dash and lite salt to flavor it and chopped it up on top of salads or ate it as is.

Any raw veggies you want. But no fresh fruit, dairy, or conventional carbs of any sort.

You can eat as much of the veggies and meat that you want. OH, and I had two eggs in the morning with my juice.

You can have diet soda or tea (but limit to two per day of each).

That's it. And three pounds later I'm on the conventional weight loss plan for 10 weeks (a well-balanced healthy diet plan which allows me to have so many protein serving, carb serving, dairy, etc... throughout the day) to lose these 20 pounds. I go in twice a week to weigh in and chat with the counselors. This should really help me stay accountable and focused. I'm so psyched that I'm FINALLY going to be rid of this flabbbbbbbb. I am determined (and I've shelled out the bucks to stay determined!)

BBL... time to get some work done.
