Starting the thread......need coffee......BRB.

Hello everyone,
saw Jen on, so hoped that she started the thread. Never heard from the body shop, so maybe they left a message on my work ph#. Hoping the time won't be too long since I'm paying the rental myself. Still not feeling great but need to go in. Only accrued a 1/2 day for sick time so lost money yesterday I thiink, need to speak w/ my supe about that. Back on track w/ eating and water today.

Angie (((HUGS))) we've all felt that way. This is the best place to vent. In the end it's your decision to follow the program. W/ those chest pains and numbness, I know that would kick my rear in gear.

take care everyone and have a great day

Lizzy

Good Morning Ladies.

First off........ANGIE! Everyone hears the click at a different time. We have alllllllllllllll been where you are. The past month has been my brush myself off moment yet again. Is there a dietician that you can go to in your area that is through your health insurance? If not and you continue WW, can you wage a little bet with someone at work? I find that when I have a challenge in front of me, the competitor in me comes out and I want to win. LOL You can do this......you really can. Try to figure out what is bugging you about it......are you getting bored with the food? Sick of counting points? Figure out what it is....only you can do that.

The wind is kicking on the hill above me! Since I am in town, we are in a valley....but I live right below the hillside and you can hear it howling up there! For some reason there are a slew of delays for school.....not sure if it is power outages or what.
This morning the carpet guys are coming to measure everything! I can't wait! Hopefully within the next week they can install. I know Kevin will be away, so I am hoping that my mom could come over while they are here doing it so I don't have to take a day off work....although that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Next, I have to pick out flooring for the kitchen. I already picked out the dining room. When Kevin comes off the road, he is doing those other rooms.

On another note, I am sick. What a cold I have!! I swear I was up half the night coughing even after taking meds. UGH. And I have sooooo much running tonight!
For dinner last night, I made chicken smothered pierogies. I haven't made that in a while and it was good. Lizzy....you had asked why Kevin didn't make dinner....I had that recipe in mind and wanted to eat when we got home from Jess' game. When Devan came over, I wasn't about to stop working out and cook just so he could eat. My rule as of the 1st is that as soon as i get in the door, I start working out and everyone and everything else can wait....I don't care who is here and when they are leaving.

I also decided that next week, for a change of pace, I am doing core....well Flore. LOL For those that are wondering...what the heck is flore....I can not be told eat until you are satisfied...that day will never come. However, I am fine when i portion things out. So I eat core foods, but portion them like Flex.....hence flore. Times before when I had done that, I did fine with it....so did members in my meetings when i presented that to them. So last night I grabbed my cookbooks that had core recipes and I did a shopping list.

So the agenda for today....work, come home and cram my workout in quickly, Kevin taking Garrett to swim at 5:15, me take Jess to her game for 5:45, Blair has a game at 7:30. Busy enough?

I'll BBL.

Morning Jen! Hope you had a good evening. I actually did some crochet last night. lol I've got a granny square going and i've got a circle going using the same stitch lol. Eh, it's something! Killed my calories last night because I really wanted some mashed potatoes lol. I'm over it. I'll just have to jiggle my body a bit harder today! Other than that not much going on around here last night. Going to get something to drink brb.

ACK! Didn't see lizzy up there! Morning Lizzy and now I best go find angies post lol. I obviously missed something this morning!

Lizzy- I hope you hear something today! I hate waiting on someone else! Glad you are feeling better.....I need those get better vibes.

April.....cool about the crochet! I am doing a weird granny square....it's not really a square, it is a trapezoid. LOL I am almost done making the squares and am hoping by the weekend to start putting it all together. I love mashed potatoes too...total comfort food...journal it, be done with it...move on.

man I feel old. My oldest nephew is 32 today!!!
He's enjoying his new job as a police officer in the same dept as his brother.

April- crochet is a great thing to do to keep the munchies @ bay.
Jen- you need to post a pix of the trapezoids @ some time. Man busy gal tonight,as always. I understand where you'r coming from w/ the workout situation.

take care everyone,going to try a folded up afghan in the car today. no extra pillows.
Lizzy

Well no need to rush to get ready....Garrett doesn't want to go to school because he is still sick. He has had a cold for the past few days and now his stomach hurts.
Sooooo the new plan is to straighten up around here, by then the guys should be coming to measure, as soon as they leave I am going to do my workout and then crochet away for the rest of the day!

Lizzy- I will probably post a pic of the project once I get some of them together...that way there is some contrast and you can see the shape better.

I am going to start another link regarding our crafts here in a minute.

OMG Angie! You know your have the same problem you've had since childhood! CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL! Only problem is controling your food got you here. So having to let something else such as weight watchers control what you eat is not something you enjoy! You've always loved living comfortable. You enjoy eating badly because it tastes good. Well sheesh woman we all want to eat badly because it tastes good. You know if you talk to someone who eats strictly healthy food they'll tell you it tastes great! You wanna know why? Because once they got all the bad stuff out their body was able to enjoy all the actual good stuff in the world.
I got news for you woman, with or without WW you can lose weight! It's you choosing to control what you let yourself eat. Oh and get off your high horse and move that ass! You know what get you an MP3 player hook that bad boy up with lots of good music and just walk! Heck you'd think it's a foreign concept but if I remember correctly you and I use to walk everywhere when we weren't on Bikes! WE ARE LAZY PEOPLE! BEING LAZY GOT US HERE! NOW IT"S TIME TO KICK LAZY IN THE ASS AND GET TO MOVING! Get your dd and take a walk back in time. Walk to the park and enjoy the things we once did. Walk down to the old Truck by pass, walk to the rodeo arena. Think back Angie, did we find it hard then to get around? Did we whine about it. Or did we drink root beers from the bottle and stagger around like we were drunk? You guys still have the indoor pool at the school? If so use it! Use the outdoor one in the summer if you want. It's great exercise! Wish we had one handy I'd live in it as a fish! Have a trampoline? Use it, get on there and practice looking over the neighbors roof! Heck take dd out back and practice gymnastics haha neither of us had that skill! Get you ds and drive out to Eunice lake let him fish while to stroll around the lake. ANGIE YOU CAN DO THIS STOP BEING A BIG BABY! YES YOU HEARD ME YOU BIG CRY BABY! OMG I miss calling you names hahaha You know I love you, you are part of me Angie. Now you can either get a move on or go tell Kimmy to kick my ass! If you decide to tell Kimmy to kick my ass well take the time to WALK to her house! thought i'd sneak that one in there! Love you bunches. It's time you stop worrying about everyone else and start working on you. I'm sure DH and the kids would love if you took some of your control off them and smacked yourself with it! Have a great day. Even if you don't loose a pound tonight remember you are worth it!
