Starting..hope no dupe I thought I saw somebody on but have waited and now I don't...

It was me! LOL boy you must be loving having your computer back up at home...look at you starting all these threads this morning. hehehe

Good Morning Ladies.

I am pretty tired this morning....doesn't help that I have cramps either. ugh. I should be glad that I have a ton of good snacks for me in the house though. hehe
Jess' practice went well yesterday...except talk about pressure...there are now enough girls for 2 softball teams, which means on her team she is the only returning pitcher. They changed something in the way she is pitching too...well that just made things worse for her because now instead of just doing it she is totally thinking about what she is doing, but she seems intent on doing it so with practice it will get better. On Saturday, all the rest of our kids will have to tryout and then the draft happens right after for each group. Garrett is hoping to be a Padre this year. LOL

I also got shopping done yesterday......I spent more than I normally do and when I got home, my bank called about the activity on my card. LOL That is bad. My big ticket items were new phones for the house and Office 2007. Does anyone else have this yet? I am definately going to have to play around with it, especially that One Note. Man I feel dumb!

On tap for today......work(yuck) then WI tonight. Not sure what the scale is going to show.....I did weigh myself this morning and it shows down 2.5 BUT I put a new battery in the scale..now I am not sure how it goes with the WW scales.

We'll see.

My scales need a new battery so I am going to search around the house and see if I can borrow one from something else..LOL!!! Yeah..I am just the "thread starter"..I need to get back motivated so figured this was the best place to be this morning!! I was up at 5:20 exercising my butt off..got 30 min of Total Body with hand weights done!! I feel so much better when I am exercising..got my first 24 oz of water down and refilling and about to eat a good healthy breakfast! I think I totally whacked my body out with my stupid eating pattern over the weekend because I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and so thirsty..I felt parched! What does this tell me..WAY TOO MUCH SODIUM intake...YIKES! I just really wish I could rewind and start fresh but what is that saying..failure to plan is a plan to fail...that was me Sat & Sun!!!! Just per stupidy on my part!!!!!

Saw on the weather we may get some strong storms tommorrow!! They are calling for us to be in the 80s by around lunchtime too..guess we are going to have to break out the spring/summer wear.

Okay..off to see where I can rob a battery from..LOL!!!!

Jen..g/l @ weigh in and YIKES on the company calling on the spending..too funny!!!!

Hello everyone,
Terry I was waiting too. LOL- very jealous of your weather.
Jen- gl w/ wi. ugh about more pressure on DD

not much else w/ me for the moment.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Hehe, I was up and lurking to. I'm not a thread starter, especially this early in the am. I was up at 3:45...no idea what's up with that.

I've been trying to find recipes for dinner this week...I'm so godawful sick of just throwing something together, so I'm actually *gasp* planning. Didn't help that I got on the scale this morning to a shocker. Shouldn't surprise me...food and I have had a fun couple of days. And lots of salt...I can feel it. So I'm letting it go, heading to the gym this morning and moving on. Going to plan plan plan.

Jen-gotta love it when the bank flags your card, and it's really you, lol. I'm not running Office 07, but my coworker is. I have issues with her excel because it doesn't interface well with older versions. Apparently it took her a really long time to get used to it because it looks totally different. She couldn't find things, lol

Terry-glad the computer is back on it's feet. Hope ds learned his lesson. I don't know what he is downloading off of myspace, but I'm always suspect of ANYTHING I have to actually download. He should be too. The gaming site is more likely the prob.

So I pledged on the exercise thread to start moving my body and doing core work daily. No excuses. I have a busy week ahead of me...busy month ahead really, but I need to do it. I was not happy with my behavior this weekend. Dh and I are having some "issues" and I'm acting out with food. I know it, and I know it's stupid. I watch myself do it. Time to watch myself stop doing it.

Ok, off to work for me, now that I've printed off some recipes for dinner this week.

Peace ladies,
Sue

Hey Lizzy-ya snuck in on me. Remember...march comes in like a lion, but she always goes out like a lamb...you're almost there babe. March was my least fave month back east, because I was just so done with it all.

Funny how we were all just sitting around watching..LOL!!!

Sue..my BIL was here yesterday when they were fixing my computer and he said his kids have been telling them about some virus their computer has..he was going back to find out if it was the same thing that happened to DS. Makes me wonder if maybe it is something going on in our "area".

Kids are getting ready to head out...DS has on shorts and flops..they are both complaining that a shopping trip needs to happen..YIKES!

Didn't get to weigh in...went to look at the battery to see what size it takes and it is a special lithium battery..after I put it back in and restarted the scales everybody is weighing funky..DD is weighing 7 lbs heavy (she is officially freaking out right now), I was heavy and DS was 14 lbs light..not going to take anything it says to heart today..DD has a doc appnt so will weigh there later.

Okay..off to grab a nice hot relaxing hot before I start my workday.

Morning my early birds

Wow...it's warm and windy here. 58 degrees....feels so nice. I hope the sun comes out and I can open the windows and air a little of the "winter ick" out of the house. Working from home today...whooo hooo! Love that, wish I could do it all the time. Got my exercise in already and now need to head to the shower.

Jen - I too went shopping yesterday and loaded up on healthy. I have some veggie chopping to do later. Do you remember Gina's recipe for Oven Baked Beef Stew (but it was in the crockpot)? I'm making that today. Plus, got ingredients for Garden Bake. I am stocked...bring on the week

Lizzy - I am sooooo over the weather too. The warm yesterday melted the snow so that's nice, but very very muddy. My floors are a disaster from muddy paws. I think it's against Jim's religion to wipe their feet before letting them in.

Terry - morning sunshine! Are you feeling better? I bought a new magazine this weekend called Perfect Horse...looks like it's written by the John Lyon's group. Is it spring yet? My poor girl is standing in mud next door and I of course am obsessing about what kind of fungal infections she's going to get, etc from standing in the wet, muddy pasture...even though she's done it for 6 years and been just fine Jim and I soooooo want to start building a barn and move her over here. We're probably going to buy Princess, her pasture buddy, and bring her over here too. They've been together since Tongo was a foal and are never far from each other in the field. Princess is actually broke and ridable...how about that?

Sue - hey lady! Saw you joined the exercise thread this week...yeah I'm trying so hard to make this a habit. I somehow always peter out after the second week. What are you doing for your core workout? I would love to find a yoga or pilates class around here, but in BFE??? not so much.

Have a great day guys. I need to hop in the shower. Will try and check in later if it doesn't get too crazy.

Lori T

Morning Lori...cool idea about Princess and I bet Tongo will do alot better having her old bud with her once she moves than she would alone. Have you been spraying her feet for thrush??? A little straight clorox sprayed onto the bottom of the hoof in the frog area..we have 2 that keep it almost year round so we go through a lot of clorox. They say the mud and wet dirt is much better for their feet than the dry sandy dirt...keep their hooves moisturized. All our babies got their pedicures done last Tues afternoon..the colt loves it..he is too funny..he keeps wandering back over begging for more. Hard to believe he is going to be 2 on March 23rd.

Cat girls..forgot to mention I had a new workout bud this morning..I was on the floor doing crunches, etc and the house queen comes over and lays on her back and starts flipping her body around--I kid you not..wish I had that on video. I had to stop my crunches to watch her and laugh!!!!!

Okay off to work...

Morning Ladies!

Had a very productive day yesterday...gutted my bedroom and moved things around, it looks really good and I love it.....but then it turned into a non-productive day cuz I loved my room so much I just hung out in my bed for a while!!!! lol.....did get up long enough to take an hour long walk before dinner though....

Lori - have a question for you...I think we are still fighting ringworm on the dog, at least that's what i think it is, he's one huge rash, I'm gonna get him to the doc as soon as the boats run, but do you have any suggestions????????? I did have a special shampoo for him, but it didn't seem to help...and I keep getting little spots of ringworm myself, thought we were done with it, but I just got another little one yesterday. friggin gross!!!!

Ok, morning to everyone else...I gotta go finish my Kroger order and get it called in
