Starting the thread..doesn't look like anybody else is on yet

Looks like I am the first one on this morning. I don't know why but I couldn't fall back asleep after DH left for work ..maybe all the trips to the bathroom I have been making..lord, I am down 4 lbs from yesterday morning--BRING IT ON!!! Got another pill to take this morning, if I can loose another 4 lbs I will be sitting comfy once again . I am sitting here drinking my cup of coffee and listening to the news and weather--looks like we are in for a treat..a chance of snow flurries on Thurs morning mixed with sleet --I surely hope it does it!!! We have a storm coming up from the gulf and cold weather coming down from you girls up north so it is the "perfect storm"..LOL!!!! I would love to see a little snow but they said nothing will stick and no messes just flurries and then changing to rain--WOO HOO!!! Maybe they will be wrong and we will have a 2 foot snow storm and get snowed in...I know you Nik and Jen you are rolling your eyes at me but I just can't help it...I really want it to snow.

I did good eating yesterday and DH & I made a trip to town last night for groceries for the butchering this weekend and I REFUSED to grab supper in town--end up coming home and heating up some veggies and pan frying (teflon pan with non-stick pam) some center cut chops. YUM!!! A pain for me since we were late getting in but much more healthier than anything in the fast food lane..right!!! We had a long discussion last night about how I want the meat done from the butchering...he was wanting to cure it and do country ham but I went into major details about my fluid retention and how I can't eat that crap anymore so he has agreed to cut some of the hams up into the slices and we can freeze them individually so that we don't have to salt and cure them..just for me I also bought a container of "Salt Sense" at the store that is very low sodium but has the same exact taste as real salt..used it on the chops last night and nobody said a word so it must be good..anybody else tried it??? It was only 99 cents for the container and it was a good size. I had never noticed it before and I am always looking for salt subsitutes

Jen: Not sure sodium content on the pockets-I will check into that!

Xan: I love chicken bog!!! It is a huge hit around here...can't wait for you to give it a try. Also, have you tried the toastwiches from Schwan's...bought the kids a box and realized it is actually not bad fat gram or calorie wise. They are like flat hot pockets with cheese and a little ham in them.

Lizzy: Send your cold air on down so we can get some snow!!!

Angie: Glad to see you had a redo moment last night...you can do this...we all can, we just HAVE to stick together!

Barb: I have never seen a coyote except in the zoo...we do have them around here but only just heard one in the distance at night. They are scary creatures!!!

Cheryl: Got out bid on the prom dress last night but I stuck to my original "high bid" and told DD we would just keep looking--we have until sometime in April so we are good.

Okay...I am off to put another log on the fire...it is in the low 30's this morning..brrrrr!!! I know Nik, you are rolling those eyes again..LOL!!!

I just saw the new Jenny Craig commercial...Valerie looks awesome!! 40 lbs gone and she is a new woman. I have always loved her as an actress and just so happy for her that she was able to loose the weight and look great again.

Good Morning Ladies.
Terry.....the 30's are cold, yes. It is 25 here right now..our high temps all week are going to keep going down and on the weekend our highs will be in the teens. I like snow too...but we do not get anywhere NEAR what we used to....global warming. Sorry you were outbid....just keep looking.

So WI last night I was down .8 which, considering Tom is here, I think is good. Not sure how much I like this meeting, but it is a meeting. I think the problem is I am comparing how I would do the meeting to how she is doing it. LOL i swear I was taking mental notes the whole time saying to myself "she should do this, she should do that" oh well.

I have a busy day today.....work (yuck) then I have to go to my MIL to hook up an RF modulator for her and Jess has practice this evening. Plus I need to workout.....I will be taking the midol like crazy today so I can do that. Not sure what workout, but I will do something.

Oh did they stop making Flatouts? I have looked everywhere for them and can not find them anymore! Instead I bought a different type of flat bread that I will try today.

To my fellow gossipmongers.....shitney is a moron!!! She definately needs some help. Who would just give up their kids like that!?!?! OMG!!!! I think she is definately taking some kind of drugs...might be prescription that she is taking too many....but she apparently has mental issues too.

Alrighty...gonna go and blog and then start getting ready.
Have a great morning!

Hello everyone,
went up to ex's for a few hrs yesterday. Lucky him he has vacation this week.
water wasn't great yesterday, didn't want to load up yesterday morning just in case I was in a traffic tie up. No exercise either but food was good. Getting back to normal routine today (I think).
Cant wait for Idol. gotta remember to put it on I usually dont watch FOX.

Jen- I'm having major problems too w/the flatouts. I only go to the superwally about once a month since it's a bit far( I go more when mom's around since its on the way to her place) and they are always out lately.

Terry- great job w/ the food, and the planning for the butchering. Hope the rest of that swelling goes away today!!

alright need to catch up w/TMZ

take care everyone & have a great day
Lizzy

Morning girls! Terry, I love how you took charge of the butchering. We have most of our meat butchered and I think you did a great thing for yourself by setting limits and making it clear what you need to keep your sodium levels down! As for Jenny Craig my daughter is excited because Queen Latifa(typo) will be taking over this year!

Jen, Sounds like you have a busy day in store for yourself. As for the flatbread heck around here you can never find anything you are looking for lol! As for Britney, I actually feel badly for her. She's grown up in a life where normal is not normal. If you'll notice her brother is the only normal one, why? because he didn't make his mommy rich! I think about all the media surrounding her children and her and I can understand how she'd break down. We all make mistakes as parents yet we don't go OMG until it's a famous person lol. All her little mistakes got blown out of proportion and when you are constantly hearing about the bad things and not about the good things you eventually all apart. It's like us with weight, If we only hear the negative we never learn to love the positive so we only get bigger!

Lizzy, eating good is a positive. I'm still trying to force myself to drink more water daily. I don't know it's just not my best friend. I have been exercising more and I'm glad about that. I know I should bump it up, but for a lazy person what I'm doing is alot haha!

As for me I think I'm actually going to be home today. Shhhhhhhhhhh I think i'm going to clean my sons room while he's not home. It's a nasty place. I think our pig barn is cleaner! So I'm going to tackle it! I'm also going to exercise more than once today. I have the day to myself so there is no excuse!!!! Have a great day everyone! ~april

OK I am at work and not in the mood to do anything. Last night I could not fall asleep so I am dragging.....coffee IV Please!!!!!

Lizzy- I wish I were off all week, but I have 2 check runs this week so I couldn't. I found it strange that even at super wally they had no flatouts though.

April- Oh my boys room is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! I think part of it is it is a small room and we have 2 boys in there. Hopefully next year we can remodel the attic and put the girls up there and then either knock out the wall between the boys and girls and make it one big room or keep it 2 rooms. Not sure yet. I agree to a certain extent about brit brit....she is in the media and it gets magnified, but when you call the media to tell them your every move and draw attention to everything you do, that happens. No she did not grow up normal, her parents have alot of blame there and they tried too late to act like normal parents and intervene. I think at this point the only way she is going to get the help she needs is that it is court ordered.....and she definately needs help.

Morning all!
Just had a lovely fight with Chy. GRRR....I got a email from her english teacher that she didn't turn in a 5 page paper yesterday. She is getting bad grades in English and it's not because she is having trouble with the work she isn't turning her work in. GRRR she makes me so mad. I don't know what the problem is with her.
So anyway I have the other one home sick today with a cold. Please don't let us get this germ again. I'm Lysol~ing everything today!

Ok I'm in a foul mood now so I'm going to go and work for a bit.

Lizzy~ Can't wait for tonight and Idol! Although I think it's the same time as Biggest Loser isn't it?

Jen~ Hey girl. How is Scout?

Terry~ yeah on the 4 pound loss! Yeah I kind of thought that was a fake coyote but Chy said why would they put one on the golf course? I guess it was real. I didn't see it move though? LOL

Ok be on later..........

b

Good morning ya'll

See Barb....you need a tazer in case of attack! LOL Keep on using that lysol girl! Scout is feeling fine.....he is already trying to go out again. No way little boy. I am reallllllly hoping getting him snipped will curb that.

Morning Angie!!!!!
