Barb

Oh and Cheryl and Anna thank you so much for my cards! Of course I'm behind so I'm virtually sending everyone a Christmas card!

Barb...

Things have been going well. I made my WW goal 2 weeks ago....so I am a total of 137 lbs down. Now I am just maintaining and waiting to make lifetime. I live over by Paradise Valley Mall....although we just put our house up on the market. Not sure where we are going, but it won't be too far.

Hey chicks!!! I am sitting here thinking what I have got to get to finish up on Sat morning...I have NEVER been this late!!! I am dreading the thought of getting out in the crowd Sat and fighting my way to the check outs...LORD HELP ME!!! I think I am down to like 3 people..2 are my parents..YIKES!!! She sent me some good hints this morning though. I am working on my Christmas cards...bear with me chicks!

I am doing better with the eating this week...I am trying to concentrate on NOT eating. Xan...I think it is normal to stay the same some weeks!

We had pretty nice weather yesterday (62) after a couple of really cool days but today is kinda nasty out with clouds forming, wind picking up, etc..I heard we were in for rain by this afternoon and DS is leaving on a 4 wheeler trip later today--we need the rain but he is really looking forward to this trip with his friends. I am a tad bit nervous about him going but I guess he has to start to spread his wings...and I certainly won't know his comings or goings next year when he is at college.

Oh--guess who got a RAZOR yesterday???? I am so excited and so stupid feeling..I was completely lost on how to use it..just ask Jen--I told her I was going to wreck trying to text her..LOL!!! Jen, I did make it home safe and sound..LOL!!!

Barb...enjoy your last kid-free day for a while...we have an extra at our house and she doesn't look like she is packing to go home anytime soon..LOL!!!
Lizzy..maybe you can catch up on your rest soon!!!
Lorena..HEY WOMAN!!! WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!!!!

BBL

HOLY COW LORENA...I JUST SAW YOU MADE GOAL...THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!

Hey girls! Lorena it's sooooo great to see you on here! I am so proud of you for making goal!!! That's an awesome present to yourself!!
Well I am down to the last littl e bit of Christmas shopping. I only have dh, my dad, and one more thing for my mom. I know Billy is getting an Ipod or an Mp3... whichever I get a better deal on. LOL We are having a staff luncheon today but it's going to be awesome because it's baked potatoes and salads!! There will only be one decadent dessert that I'll have to keep myself from vaccuuming up! It's Texas Sheetcake and it's the best thing on earth! LOL
I am so afraid to say that I don't have one thing planned for tonight... I don't want to jinx it! LOL Have a great day girlies!
Lizzy: I hope your day gets better sweetcheeks! LOL
Barb: Enjoy your last day of freedom for a couple of weeks! LOL
Terry: I got a new Razor yesterday too. I had killed my other one and had been making due with one I really didn't like. My mom liked it so when she went and redid her plan she got a free one and gave it to me and I switched her my old one. I am having to reteach myself all the little quirks and features! LOL Oh, I know that staying the same is sometimes expected... it's just that I didn't order DESSERT at Olive Garden and I wanted a reward for that! LOL I am down a pound this morning, couldn't help but take a peek! LMAO

Xan...I tried to get the free one yesterday (buy 1, get 1) but nobody else on our plan was qualified to get a phone so the guy said no could do...I am going to end up paying $9 for mine after the rebate..is that what your mom got?? I was going to give DS the free one because he has already smashed the face on his front...instead the guy at Alltel GAVE me a plastic cover for it ($15) and told me to make him put it on it and it would help protect it for a while.

Lunch today is AWESOME..an older co-worker brought in a wonderful pasta, chicken breast and veggie casserole...YUMMY!!!! I am eating right now..at my desk..while I work...YUCKY!!!

Good day to all. I will be leaving in a bit to travel to Arkansas and Missouri for the holidays. Last week was not one of the best weeks for me. I ate horribly. I am back on track today and plan to stay that way during the holidays so when I get home and go to weigh in I am hoping I have lost about 10 pounds. We are starting a weight loss challenge here at the office on the 2nd of January. $100.00 per person and it will go through June 4th being the final weigh in date. I hope we have about 15 people to do it so the stakes are higher. I did not go to weigh in last night. we had a small party with some friends and family. I got alot of nice gifts too. DH got me a diamond tennis bracelet and some perfume, candy (I brought it to the office and gave it to the guys) YEAH for me. He also bought me some boots and belt, and alot more things. DS got me some perfume and body sprays and DD got me some pajamas and a set of new glasses. We all had a good time and we let the kids open all their gifts so we wouldnt have to take them to Arkansas with us. They were all happy with what they got.

Lorena: I am so impressed. Tell me how you got motivated and lost so much weight. I am open to anything.
Xan: have a merry christmas and please be careful.
Everyone else: I hope you all have a merry christmas and a happy new year. I will try to keep up with you all while I'm gone. I hope I have a good time. Im sure I will.
