Hi girls.

We all had a great day today,(the birthday party) however, I am now soooo tired! Running around after little girls is tough work! No workout for me, I've had it!;) By the way all the children bought her presents! They KNEW!!! It was great. But I don't think it would've mattered.

Major Major Problem : Left over birthday cake. Chocolate Mud Cake and its the yummiest, scrumiest, delicious, mm mm mm! Should I?
a) eat it all so theres none left (get it over with in one day)
b) throw it away? (couldn't possibly could I?)
c) Ignore it every time I open the fridge (how do you do that? Its HUGE and delicious, yummy and finger lickin' good)
d) none of the above, you have a better idea which is?
 
Good Morning girls

im so sorry i havne't been able to respond and do personals lately:( I do want to thank everybody for all your kinds words the other day! You don't know how much it means to me!

Well,im off to my new job today...my in laws are watching the kids for me! Ive got my scrubs on:)rolleyes:) and im out the door...wish me luck!

When I get home I plan on doing a major sweat fest....i didn't workout yesterday!

ANDREA!!! BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!! ive got an idea...cut it up in oh,small peices and send it to US:D I want some finger lickin good cake:eek: its been a while! ok,on a serious note;) why not have a small pc of it,so that way you can satisfy your craving and not feel so bad! Definatly don't eat it all up in one day:confused: . When I have a dessert calling my name,i send it over to my MIL's house...LOL! there are always people in and out of her house eager to eat it!

Good Morning,

Ok I have to rant sorry everone. DH bought a WII Fit system and It takes your wt.. ht., and then tells you what your BMI is that thing weighed my at 127.5 and my BMI was 25 and it told me I was OBESE. Do you know how much that hurt. After a year of working out with cathe and I'm still OBESE. I was disappointed. mad, and depressed, but I step on my WW scale and it said I weighed 123.8 and BMI was 24.8 which is normal. They should really fine tune those things.

Andrea-is there someone like maybe the girls who came to the party that you could give peices of the cake to, if not just have a small peice until its gone. Did you see yesterdays post and my question?

Amelia-we understand that you are busy and don't have time to post personals we just like to see you post whatever you are doing.

Everyone have a good Saturday time to do Laundrymax, Cleanmax and Wal-Martmax.
 
Hi everyone.

Andrea, so glad the party went well. As for the cake I know what I would do, but that's why I have 10lbs to get rid of, LOL. If the rest of the family will eat the cake try to limit yourself to a small piece each day til it's gone. Or add in lots of cardio to burn off what you eat.

Amelia, good luck with the new job today. I hope you love it. As for the school thing, I think it was just too much all at once. There's alway time in the future if you want to try again.

Roxie, first of all don't go by the Wii scale. Is it even a real scale? Second I hate BMI. It does not take take into consideration anything but height and weight. Someone who works out is going to have more muscle and that throws off the BMI scale. Here's a calulator I found http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/hea...BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm
Even if your BMI is 25 that is no where near the obese category. So ignore the Wii as a gage and just use it for the fun.

Andrea H. you've been doing pretty well lately, so don't let yourself slip out of the routine. I'm struggling with that myself. When I get busy with work I find it hard to squeeze my workouts in and right now it's the end of the 3rd quarter so my time is tight. Want to make a pack where we commit to at least 3-4 days?

Elaine, hope things are well with you. Did the renters get moved in?

Be back in a minute to explain about yesterday.

Ok, now for the personal dealings the last few days. DH's dad is in the hospital and needs to have surgery on his gall bladder. He's 85 so they have to wait until other factors stabilize before they do the surgery. DD had her cervical epidural injection procedures yesterday. The anesthia caused her to be nauseated so she had a rough evening and is staying with us. She is doing better today. Sore of course. Hopefully the injections will help relieve her pain. This doctor recommended some additional testing to try to find out the source so that made me feel a little better. The other doctors were only trying to treat the pain since nothing showed on the MRI. So I've been a little stressed. No workout today. Went to the dog park with my neighbor this morning. It was the first time for both of her dog and my younger one and they seemed to have a blast.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Jean
 
Jean-I hope your DH'es Grandfathers surgery goes well...he's in my prayers! And im so sorry to hear of the pain your DD is in...maybe the doctor can get an idea of whats causing it all! Hugs to you...a dog walk sounds wonderful right now!

Roxie-Those wii's are SO OFF...the heck with those things!! Your are certianly not obese...you look great,IMO! Have fun with all your maxes today! Ive got laundrymax myself-it never seems to go away:confused:

hey to Andrea,Andrea,Elaine I know im missing alot of people,my brain is tired today! I didn't even get in a workout...dangit:mad: I will do one tommorrow!;)

My first day at work was a blast, I was doing medical records the whole time! Can't wait until next saturday!

Everybody have a wonderful saturday!
 
Amelia-I'm glad you had fun at your new job.

Jean-I will keep you in my thoughts hope everything turns out ok.

Thank You guys for your support and encouragement.
 
Hey there everyone! Didn't make it here yesterday. It was my day off and I spent a lot of time running around. I did go to kickboxing class (FUN!! and I burned 500 calories) before errands, etc. Today my elbow and knee are sore. I think I tend to hyperextend when moving fast. I try to pay attention, but don't always succeed. I might try a spin class tomorrow morning - will have to see how my knee feels. I might just do some time on the elliptical (my goodness that sounds bad..."do some time"...like jail or something :)).

Andrea, I don't normally get down on myself. I've always been pretty upbeat about difficulties losing weight, etc. BUT, that being said, when NO progress is made a person starts to lose the positivity - know what I mean? On the cake - I usually take the leftovers to the office.

Amelia, you need to do what's right for you. If school isn't going to work for you right now, so be it. Glad you like the job :)

Jean, my goodness there's a lot going on for you! Hang in there. I'm with you on the WO pact. I'm aiming for at least 4 (I figured out awhile ago that if you also agree w/ yourself to skip only one day at a time that you automatically get your 4 WO done).

Elaine, I'm with you too - I need to work on food too. DH had a margarita party @ his office yesterday afternoon that did me in calorie-wise. Today is looking better.

OK, I've got to run. I need to find something fun to do w/ DD this evening since DS will be out @ a slumber party. Maybe a movie (or just something on PPV) - I'll look into it.

Will try to stop back tomorrow!
 
Hi everybody!

Well the cake dilema sorted itself out. My daughters and hubby have eaten most of throughout the day! YAY! I nibbled at it too (nibbled? do you believe me?):p I fear I jest. But at least its nearly gone!

Roxie - Throw that very RUDE gadget to the ****house. AT once!

Andrea- you have been doing well, pushing yourself to workout, and 500 cals at a kickbox class! Yeah! Boy, do I hear you on the effort and no gain. But keep on going, don't stop, one day soon, you will wake up, and you will put on your pants, skirt, whatever, and it will be looser! remember your mini goal. You can do it! If you ever saw Finding Nemo, and at the end all the fishes were caught in the net, Swim down Swim Down, (little Nemo said to them all and they did and they escaped) Keep Going Keep Going!

I don't know WHAT Nemo has to do with anything! Other than saying over and over again, Kepp Going, Keep Going, Andrea Keep Going.

Amelia - Glad to hear the new job was o.k. You had to wear scrubs?

Elaine Hi to you. you are probably having one of your usual busy weekends.

Jean - It never rains but it pours! Why does life work that way? Who knows? At least you are still managing some you time and getting some workouts in. I figured out immediatley what you would have me do with that cake! :) Then I'd be trying to get rid of 15lbs! Lets face it, we love food!

My name is Andrea, and I love food!

Good Morning,

Today is a stretch day for me and boy do I need it I woke and my back hurts and I have a headache. Didn't get my workout in yesterday just wasn't in the mood. Tomarrow I am starting a Turbo Jam rotation just to shake things up abit and see what happens.

Andrea-I liked your jari love rotation, but I did purchase slim and lean so ho do I incorporate that into the rotation? Congrats on getting rid of that cake.

Amelia-enjoy your workout today sounds like a good one.

Everyone have a good Sunday.
 
Well, I'm trying to talk myself into taking the dogs for a jog. I was suppose to go out an hour ago and haven't made it yet. I have to go into work today so I better get things in gear and get going.

Jean
 
Andrea I got your message thank you. Just went for a 2.5 mile walk and then stretched it felt great.

Ok, I finally got my walk in, late tonight, but it was a beautiful evening and the dogs really enjoyed it too. Today's plan got thrown out of wack when DD called and asked if I could come over and mow her yard. Since she been having the back pain she can't do it and it was starting to get pretty shaggy. I drove up to her place, mowed and edged the yard and then took her out to get dinner. So not a wasted day, just different from what was planned.
