Can't believe it is July and can't believe nobody has started a thread yet. I guess it because Lizzy is not with us this morning. I may be on my own today, but I will go ahead and start the thread in hopes that someone will join me! DS is begging for some more breakfast. BRB...

Morning Em! wow ghost town today or what? LOL!
Well I'm here! Breakfast sounds pretty good what are the kids having today? I'm brewing some coffee and going to have some yogurt today. I think I'm going to take Holly to the gym today and do some laps. She is really doing well in the pool and it's great exercise for both of us! Anyone watching the swimming olympic trials? It's so exciting! Everytime I watch I want to jump in and swim! I love me some water! LOL!
Not much else is new here I do have to get some reports done today also and we may go pick up a couch from Cost Plus, need something for the zebra room still, this blow up bed is too big! And plus I have a 50.00 off coupon! You know me always a bargain shopper!
Hey is anyone watching Nashville Star? Watched it last night and don't think but a couple of them are pretty good.

Ok going to get to typin'

be on later

Back from making breakfast. Man, my kids have been eating like nobody's business lately! DS had oatmeal, then a toaster waffle and some strawberries. DD had toaster waffles,cereal, and strawberries.

We have been watching the olympic trials. Those swimmers are amazing! I am with you that they inspire me to get in the pool. Our pool is doing a wacky olympics on the 4th,so I need to get in and do some laps to practice today. They are having a family relay that I thikn we are participating in. Toay is my stretch day with P90X so it is a good day to do some extra swimming.

I just finnished my second week of p90x! Definitely seeing some canges in the body. I have not weighed yet. I want to wait until I finish Phase one - that is 4 weeks. I am just proud of myself for sticking with it so far - 14 days of working out!

I watched Nashville Star last night too. DD turned it on before she went to bed. I was the one who got sucked in. I agree there are a couple of people that are pretty good. I like the guy, I think his last name is Garcia, whose dad died last year. And how 'bout the lady who has FIVE boys!

Okay,time for me to go stretch and pack some things up to get to the pool.

Barb~ Happy bargain hunting!

Lizzy~ Thinking of you today!

Anna~ Good job working out yesterday. Keep it up and you will look gor-geous for that wedding.

Xan~ Get back on track. You have been doing so great lately.

Terry~ Any decisions about the horse show and taking off?

Hey Em, that's the guy I like too and the mom with 5 boys! She can really sing. I think the two young girls are terrible! I can't belive they are still there!
Have fun swimming! I'm going to get new goggles today, I seemed to have lost mine somewhere! Holly has some but I really need some of my own.
I need to look into that P90x I started watching the infomercial but got side tracked. How long have you been doing it? Stepped on the scale finally this am and didn't like what I saw gotta get back to business big time!

I also watched the concert for Nelson Mandela last night (can you tell I was unproductive last night? LOL). What is up with that Amy Winehouse's hair? LOL, I just don't understand........I don't think she is very good either? Just my opinion but last night she just wailed. Loved Queen and Paul Rogers...yeah!!! you know they are my ultimate band!

Ok off to type some more!

Well, I'll chime in so you two won't be lonely. Where is Allison. She is always here b4 me in the mornings. LOL
I have a chiro appt today and then it's my nail appt day, so I won't be around to eat and watch TV, PTL!! LOL I did better yesterday and I know it was because of journaling. That's going to be the key for me. Please feel free to guilt me into whenever you want to! I got some fresh fruits and veggies yesterday and that always helps me too.

I have been a faithful Nashville Star watcher since its inception, but this year has been a real turn off. First of all, only about 3 are truly country singers, so why not drop the Nashville part if that's how they are going to pick contestants. And, this is the first year that producers "chose" contestants even if they didn't win their regional. It used to be a singing contest before this year. That being said if Gabe Garcia or Melissa (mom to five boys) doesn't win it I will be so sad. They are the only two genuine country singers and the single dad, can't remember his one name, isn't too bad.

Em: I wish my kids would eat like that!! I have to beg and bargain to get a plate full of food in Faith. She is only 36 lbs at 5 years old. I hate taking her to the dr because invariably they always say something about that. WTG on your exercise! I can't wait to see what this does to your body!!

Barb: I am jealous of your potential new furniture already! LOL You go, Bargain Girl... do you get a cape with that name? LOL A girl from our neighboring town made the finals in the trials for triple jump but not the Olympic Team. I think she came in 9th. All of those athletes are awesome!

I have to go do something with my hair before it dries! BBL

Barb, missed the Mandela concert, but wanted to chime in on Amy. She has gone sooooooo downhill in this drug battle. I used to love her soulful voice, but now she just gravel and whine... suck another cigarette I say! LOL

Hey there Xan, can you take my toes and get a pedicure please! I need them red for the 4th but too lazy to take them! LOL!
As for Nashville Star, I can't stand Billy Ray, he always looks like a deer in headlights! He is a bad host! And I agree those two are the only real country singers!
Bummer about the not making the olympic team, that must be so hard!

And as for Amy, I have no reference for her, I never heard her before but I think the way she sounded last night was awful! and what is up with that do? She reminded me of a black widow spider! LOL! Again just my little opinion! did I mention that Queen rocked? LOL!

Ok off to type some before we go work out!

Afternoon ladies. I'm off work today so I thought I'd sneak in a quick post. Things are good here. I'm hitting the gym as often as I can. Went this morning in fact then ran some errands.
I need to improve on my eating. I'm not eating alot however I know I'm not eating healthy enough. So I'm going to be focusing on that. I hope everyone has a great second half of the year. Stay focused, and whatever you do never give up!

Hey my little quesadillas!!
No one here today so here I am! How is summer going with my gals? I finally took the boys swimming, no new bathing suit but still keeping my eye out for something I like. Excercise is still good and I've been cracking down on my eating, I lost 1 of the 3 lbs I've gained. Not much planned just looking forward to a short week! Miss ya all...(((HUGS)))

Lizzy~Be safe in your travels!

Barb~ Hey dropem' lady, thought about you last night, I was already in bed but I rolled off and did 60 crunches Good job on your workout!

Xan~Good for you on getting those veggies, I have lots of trouble in that area....enjoy your time today!

Em~ Hey hermana! I've seen the informercial to that and it looks hard!!! I'm sure you're on your way to that svelte figure..hope I spelled it right

Anna~YOU GO GIRL!! Keep up the great job!!!

hey chicklets...
late check in. just deciding what i want for lunch. i have a lean cuisine
in the freezer...but it just doesn't sound appealing. i may hop my butt over
to el pollo loco, or mcdonalds. we finally got the southwest salads back at
mcdonalds. i was bummed when they took them off the menu.

so that is it...i am going to a very wild birthday party tonight.
it's always something!

thanks for the encouragement. i woke up sore today-but that is to
be expected right? i will try and do a little something when
i get home...treadmill or walk outside maybe.

have a good day girlfriends!
