Hello everyone,
wi this morning. Am down 1.5 to 139.5. Yeah me.
Not much else going on @ the moment, need to look @ my summer clothes to see what I want to take to FL. Was very surprised Michael went home last night on Idol. It seemed he was too.

LoriT- hope all is well your family is in my thoughts.
Jen- I'm sure things are ok w/the labs.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Well I do believe that it is NOT the chantix that has me sick. This cold has now moved into my chest. Isn't that fun. UGH!!!!! I hardly slept last night because of it...constantly hacking. At least my smoking is minimal now.

I am not working out when I can't breath, that is for sure. I bet I can find something to do around here though.
So the habit that I changed yesterday with my smoking, is doing it in the house and in the truck. I did not smoke in the house or the truck. Hooray me. Smoking on the computer is a biggy for me.

So today, I am just going to spend the day cleaning some more. I need to scrub down the kitchen and freshen up the bathroom since Garrett's friend is sleeping over tonight. He is VERY excited about this as he has never had a friend sleep over. I can just imagine this one. LOL

Lizzy......Good job!!!!!!! Great WI!!!!!!!! Sooooo happy for you!

OMG... I could NOT be happier today!!!!!! I lost 4 POUNDS on my jumpstart (water weight, who gives a shit!!!) and I'm sitting here drinking my COFFEEEEEE...Whoohoooo....I am loving life!!!! Ok, sorry..back to real life!

Lizzy...I was totally shocked and very upset that Michael went home last night...something isn't right with that...I really felt bad for him, I thought for sure he's make it to the final 3...hope he gets a record contract, cuz he's awesome...good job on the WI.

Jen...Wish you were feeling better...that sucks...have fun with the sleepover tonight, YIKES...lol

ok, need to pay attention to what the kids are doing...I am just on cloud nine right now...it's about time!!!

Nikki.....that is awesome about your WI!!!! HOORAY!!!!! I wish I were feeling better too....this is rediculous. The boys will entertain themelves with the wii, so that will be nice. hehehe I think we will order pizza for them tonight...much easier. I have no appetite...usually until the evening, so I wilol probably eat just soup and a sandwich.

Morning..and the whirlwind begins for the day...PROM! YIKES!!! Boys might not take as long to get ready or need mama for it but they sure do have a lot of crap to get taken care of...wash car, get car gassed up, get clothes packed, get this and that picked up in town...OMG! So letting DS get out of school at 10:30 so he can run his town errands - flowers, gas, car maintenance, etc..then he is off to home to get packed up and dressed...has to leave home @ 4:30 to come back to town..at girl's house @ 5..1st set of pics @ 5:30 out of town at a nearby lake...supper @ 7 back in town at one of the girls' houses (her parents are doing a steak night for the "crew" so that they don't have to go out to eat-$10/couple..can't beat that!) and then to prom by 8 for 2nd set of pics, leave prom between 11-12, back to house to leave car and get picked up and then off to beach..beach by 2. What a schedule!! Know wonder he was flabbergasted this morning!!! Oh and DD & I are going to meet him @ lake for pics @ 5:30--otherwise, I just get to see him passing by when he picks the flower back up from the office.

Weight sucks here...fluid, fluid, fluid..I did sweat bad last night--all night!!! Maybe I am finally loosing some of it. Going to call doc back again this morning to try talking to nurse again. Did my b/p pill again this morning at 7:30 so hopefully that is helping some.

Nikki..awesome weight loss!!! You should be on cloud nine!
Jen..what times does lab open this morning???
Lizzy..great job on weight too!! Below the 140 mark--woo hoo!!!

Okay..gotta run make sure DS has decent looking clothes laid out to take--you know boys????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

Morning everyone,
It's been a busy week. I'd like to say I'm almost done, but I hit a few road blocks due to other people not doing things correctly, so I'm having to track down money and make adjustments for it. I hate this. I feel like I'm no further along than I was on Tuesday.

Food and exercise has been good despite schedule. I actually rode twice yesterday, so 2 hours total, plus a core workout and lifting weights. Getting to the gym first thing after drop off this a.m.

Jen-might not be actual sickness...detox? I remember dh got a good hacking upper resp thing, and the doc said it was the nicotine working it's way out of the lungs. Make sure you're drinking alot of water, more than usual, that might help.

WTG on the weigh-in's Lizzy and Nik. And honestly Nik, it might be actual weight...a big water weight drop usually happens when you go from eating poorly to eating well...you were already eating fairly well. Let's look on the positive side. I'm stuck solid at 167.5. Sometimes I swear this is just where my body wants to be right now-ugh. All I can do is keep building muscle, right. Eventually it wll all catch up. Supposed to hit the 90's from here on out here now...good thing I got my toes done this weekend

Going to watch a friend run the Ironman this weekend, and do some chores around the house, but other than that, it's still work, work, work. I'll be loving the paycheck next week I guess.

Peace out!
Sue

Morning girls!
Ugg my eyes are a bit swollen today and not sure why? I look like I'm very sleepy! LOL!
Had a good meeting last night and got some moms to volunteer for my PTSA board! I just hope they are sincere about it!
So today I'm going to the gym with my mom and then hang by the pool with the girlfriends. I asked my mom if she wanted to join us and of course she said yest! LOL! Sheesh! At some point today I've got to get something80's ish to wear to the Zoo Brew tonight! Can't wait to see Flock of Seagulls! LOL! It should be fun! Man I know I was a 80's girl but don't have any of my clothes anymore! LOL! Darn, should have kept some!

Jen~ What time are you calling the doctor's office? I'll check back in later!

Nikki~ yahhhooooo!!!

Lizzy~ Yahoo to you too! Someday I'll be under 140 also! Soon I hope!

Terry~ Have fun with the Prom boy! Sounds like a fun weekend for DS! Lots of pictures please so I can show Chy! LOL! She is still free this summer!

Janna~ The area is getting pretty fun over here! The blimp was over my house last night! I think we might not make it this time, DH wants to go out to dinner for our anniversary instead. Might just be cheaper anyway! LOL! Maybe in November we could go! My mom is going to take the girls to the Jazz fest. tomorrow in Glendale! Are you cold this morning?

Sue~ My BIL did the Ironman condensed version yesterday! He came in dead last he said! Same as last year! At least he finished it! DH is working right near Tempe Town Lake right now! Have fun tomorrow! I'm going to an intro to cycling class on Sunday! Any tips? I did a intense 1 hour workout class yesterday and boy am I feeling it right now! Ouch!

Ok ladies!

Be back sometime today!

kisses

Oh yeah and about Idol last night! What a shocker! I can't believe Ryan said, "last year we didn't send anyone home during Idol gives back but this time we are". Jerk! Why would they even write that in to say? I think Sayesha should have gone or Kristy Lee. They gotta go next week! I know he'll do well though, he has a great voice. There are so many others that didn't win and are doing great now! Ok that's my rant!

OK....I updated the other thread about the Dr's office.
Here is some other news......I just sent my resume in to an agency regarding a job that is soooooo up my alley and the pay just would be stupid to pass up. AND best of all, it is only 20 mins away.....no Pittsburgh commute, but it does have Pittsburgh Pay!! I would be a complete idiot to not even send in my resume for this......it is only $1 an hour less(to start!!!!) than I was making in Pittsburgh after 5 years with that company!!! It seems it is everything I used to do as far as Payables and inventory control. THIS is my specialty. I am VERY good at analyzing that in a wholesale distribution environment and I told that to the woman I spoke with, but I also told her that I am being VERY choosey in what I apply for right now(she asked if I was available for other jobs they might have since they are an agency) and that I am not spending $500 a week in gas and the hours have to be convenient for what I need. This job I called about seem to have everything I need. Fingers crossed because this would be realllllllly good.

OK....I need to do a bit of cleaning.

Oh Jen it sounds great! When are you going to send your resume? Send soon! Glad your results just include a glass of vino everyday! What a remedy! LOL!

Ok I'm off!

see you all later gators
