Morning Ladies!
It just dawned on me that this year has flown!
Yesterday was a good one again for me. Stupid me forgot my WW books at work when I left, so since I knew how many points I had left (about anyway) I ate dinner and that was it. I didn't want to go over even though I had some AP's there. That is another thing I was proud of......it was an off day, but I worked out. Like I said, I figured that I would walk tonight up at the track. I juts bring my little ipod shuffle and go. Usually though, Jess walks with me and there are a few other mom's walking too. It's kind of sad because you would not believe the amount of people that stay for practice to watch and bring their chairs and just sit there.

Last night I also got in gear with looking through the cookbooks to find some friendly appetizers for the party on Sunday. Us neighbors are getting together tonight to figure out who is making what.

Lizzy- The points for the cereal is 3. Worth it! Also....the banana stuffed french toast is yummy....I posted that on the recipe area! I have posted a few things on there the past few days and think I will keep doing that as a good way to keep in check and feel like I am contributing. I hope we both have less stressful phone calls today!

Sue- I would realllllly freak about all those predators! OMG!!!! How are you feeling today?

Terry- Oh these people I work with think I am nuts! It's just the way I grew up. Heck one of the women there was telling me how her husband does NOTHING to help her. Even if she is sick, she is expected to cook and clean. AND he dictates EVERYTHING that goes on....what time dinner is on the table, what they are eating, etc. Screw that!

Barb- That has to be weird to hear someone talking about you on the radio. So are the girls making friends in the new school?

Allison- Remember to try to vary your points everyday. Honestly, when I was close to goal that is what I did and it helped soooo much. I didn't do the Wendy per se, but I did it and it worked.

Xan- On a softball note.....I guess quite a few of the girls are complaining that they can't find anyone to help with teaching pitching. One of Jess' All Star coaches is a pitching coach and is loaded. Her and her husband are buying all sorts of equipment this fall and putting it into one of their vacant builings and they are going to open it up for the girls to have a place to practice over the winter! WOOHOO!

Nik- How was your day?

Liz- Anymore extra veggies?

Where is Cheryl? We know Angela will join us soon.

Alrighty.....I have to get in gear.

BBL

Have a great morning!

Jen

Hello everyone,
get about a 1/2 hr off the phones today if we have our team meeting. We'll see how it goes today. Had a great walk yesterday. Was toying w/ eating @ Subway tonight when I go for my shot @ the dr's but instead hopping home real quick have my turkey muffins then fight boston's rush hr traffic. Leaving plenty of time. Probably won't be able to exercise tonight. We'll see.
With all this talk about AZ. I'm glad I live here, LOL. yipes about the scorpions.

Jen- will have to look for the cereal .thanks for the pts info

take care everyone and have a great day!!

Lizzy

It took forever for the Reply to Thread box to pop up so I am hoping that I don't have a hard time posting today..... I tried to update my home page yesterday and it didn't work. I posted a recipe with a picture and tried to update my photo and neither worked. I might try again today.

I got on the scale today and it is down .8. I'll take it! I think I will start weighing daily so I can keep a better eye on what's going on! I am also going to take your suggestion Jen and look up the Wendie Plan and maybe try starting that on Monday.... My DD's birthday is coming up and she wants to go to a Chinese Buffet this weekend! Uh oh.... Actually, I can usually make pretty good choices but I still overeat..... I usually try to stick with vegetables, sushi, and boiled shrimp. On Sunday we plan on going to Six Flags one last time before Summer is over. I am already getting white again from not being out in the sun much lately! I think I might try a self tanner this winter. I just hate looking pale! So anyway, I'm rambling......There are no classes I attend at the gym today so may either walk in the neighborhood or just walk on the treadmill. I have all the ingrediants for my Veggie/ Chicken soup so I look forward to making that today.

Good Morning Jen, Lizzy, and all that follow!

Morning chickadees!!! Planned to walk this morning while DS was running however, we both hit the snooze...my bad!!! Going to get a walk in this afternoon instead. My 1/2 day at work--woohoo!!!! DH went to dr yesterday and they have him on another round of antibiotics...he is better but not completely well. He is out of work until Tuesday.......uuummm!!! Trying to get my weekend planned out...DD has horse show Sat afternoon but should be an early one and then my parents are at their beachhouse so we are planning (hopefully nothing changes) to head down there Sunday am and with Monday being a holiday we can just head back up after lunch. Keeping my fingers crossed at this point!!!! Doc did tell DH yesterday that the salt air would be good for his sinuses so that is a bonus. Eating was good last night but not what I planned--forgot it was already Tues night and supper club night--had chicken bog with collard greens..I had 3 helpings of the collards..they were AWESOME!!!

Jen: I was one of those moms that just sat in the chair and watched..LOL!!!
Allison: Oh you are making me hungry with the Chinese Buffett..love those!!!
Lizzy: Did you see the lunar eclispe...we missed it down here..it was only visable for a short time and we have lots of trees behind our house so it was out of sight..bummer!
Sue: Do you rent now??? Mortgage rates should be good right now!!
Barb: Did you scorpion hunt last night??
Xan, Liz, Cheryl and all that follow...Happy Hump Day!!!

Morning! Got to get the kids some breakfast...be back in a few!

Lizzy- Hope you don't get stuck in the traffic! I do not miss that about NY at all!

Allison- All you really need to do with your points is vary them every single day......day 1 20 pts, day 2 26 pts, day 3 20 pts, etc. I think if you google Wendy plan, WW you should be able to find the info. I wish there was a good chinese buffet up here! I miss that!

Terry- the ocean air is good for everything! A cureall! ROTFLMAO at sitting and watching! hehehe

Ok, I'm back...picking up Alex went good, we got home on the 9:00 boat, so it wasn't too late. We stopped at blockbuster on the mainland and rented 3 movies, her and I watched 2 of them last night, we were up till 2!!!!!!!! But it was fun, both movies were funny...Blades of Glory and Wild Hogs...I am a huge sucker for Will Ferrell movies and Blades of Glory was hysterical. The third one we rented was Fracture, with Anthony Hopkins, didn't get a chance to watch it, hopefully tonight, they have to be back thursday.

Cooper has speech today, so we are off the island AGAIN!!! OY!!! MIL is coming tonight, we are taking the kids school shopping tomorrow....so it's mainland AGAIN...YIKES! I can't wait to live over there and just go to an appt and come home without a ferry boat to contend with and unloading all my groceries into a cart to take over on the boat..... ....ok, I guess I should run and get ready to go...have an awesome day you guys!!!!! XOXOXOXO

Oh by the way, since we arn't on BCB anymore...let me just say that I completely blew it yesterday....CRAP what the hell is wrong with me??????? Starting over AGAIN today Send me strength and motivation girls, I am in desperate need!

Hey girlies, LOL Nik about not being on BCB anymore before your "confession." We are all grateful for not being ridiculed. The important thing is that you are re-focused today!
Jen: That is great about the coach. It will reap benefits for everyone! I had to laugh at the people pulling out lawn chairs for practice... every sport our kids play here there are parents that do that! Good job on exercising on your day off!
Terry: Hope you get to go to the beach. I know you are missing your beach babe time! LOL
Allison: Good job on WI. Anything that helps you stay focused is worth it.
Lizzy: have a good evening! I had Subway last night and it was soooo worth it!

I stayed with my plan last night girls even though there was pizza, cake, and ice cream at my neice's party! She was sooo cute opening gifts. She's 6 and at that age where everything is a GREAT gift! LOL Tonight is WI. I am trying to get my left ankle unswollen. I swell like a hog around my ankles. I have edema which is fancy for water retention around the ankles. As long as I stay off of them they are usually not too terrible. But, with teaching started it has played hell with some of my WI's! LOL

Have a great day! Smooches to all who aren't here yet!
Oh buddies, I forgot to tell y'all to keep Lara and her family in your prayers. She is having some major issues right now. You can look it up on BCB or email me if you want her email address.
